Grandpa Liu said, "Okay, if there aren't enough people, we can all go and help."

"Okay, you're tired after walking all day. Go back and rest. We can talk about it tomorrow if there's anything else."

Aunt Xia smiled and said, "Okay, my niece brought me a lot of things. I'll give them to you tomorrow. Mom and Dad, you should get some rest too. It's getting late."

After saying that, Aunt Xia's parents-in-law went back to their room, and Pingping also took her things back to her room. After seeing that everyone had gone back, Aunt Xia and the other two also took their things to their room.

Aunt Xia put the things on the bed, then closed the door and sat cross-legged face to face with Uncle Xia. Aunt Xia opened her bag, took out the things and handed them to Uncle Xia to see.

Aunt Xia took out the things and said, "These are the clothes Xiaojin bought for me, some supplements, some food, and the gifts I bought for my parents."

Uncle Xia took the clothes handed to him by Aunt Xia and said, "It looks good, really good."

Aunt Xia said, "It's just not very comfortable to wear outside. I have nowhere to wear such nice clothes."

"Wear it when Xiaoping gets married. It will definitely look better than what her son-in-law wears."

"Alright, let's put it away first. This time, I can say that I've fulfilled a wish. I usually worry about what to do with our child Hongshan. He doesn't like to talk, but he's very strong. But what's the use of being strong? The other girls don't like him either."

"Besides, our family is a little poorer than other families, so no one would be willing to marry into our family."

"You don't know how I felt when I heard Xiao Jin say that our son should stay. I wanted to train him in the city and try to make our son less bored. At least he could find a wife."

"What else can I do? I can't be a bachelor forever, so I let him stay without a second thought. You won't blame me, right? After all, he is the eldest grandson of your Liu family."

Uncle Xia smiled and said, "Why should I blame you? You found such a good place for our son. Why should I blame you? We have no skills and are just farmers."

"I can't give my child the right support. For example, if Hong Gang passes the entrance exam, I will work hard to earn money to support his education. If he fails, we won't be able to find him a job in the county town."

"So I want to thank your family. I never thought our silly son would have such great luck. Don't tell me that if anyone says our son can't find a wife in the future, I will definitely have a good argument with them."

Aunt Xia put the bag on the small table in the room, looked at her husband who was grinning, and said, "Okay, okay, you can show off however you want later. No one will stop you."

Uncle Xia continued, "Do you think Hongshan is the only one who has a job in the city besides the village chief's children?"

"I'm happy just thinking about it. When he makes some money, we'll give him some more and build him a big tiled house so he can marry off in style."

Aunt Xia said somewhat disapprovingly: "Don't make trouble. Let me tell you that my niece is a capable person. She will go to the capital in the summer."

"If our son does well, maybe he'll go with us. What's the point of a house in the country then? If he doesn't come back to live there, maybe a girl in the city will be blind enough to fall for him."

Uncle Xia said, "I don't want to think too much about it. It's good enough that they arranged a job for our son, and in the capital. I see that our son is in trouble. Although he has studied for a few years, his brain is not flexible."

"He can't talk, and he only has his strength. It's good over there. If we work hard, maybe we can buy him a small house there."

Aunt Xia smiled and said, "That's how I think about it. If our son is really capable, I will support him in doing it. If he is not capable, I will not rely on my status as Xiaojin's elder to ask her to do this and that. If he does not do well, Xiaojin doesn't need to tell me. I will go to Zhuang County and take him back. Don't leave him there to cause trouble for Xiaojin."

"Yeah. Okay, go wash up and let's go to bed. It's getting late. We can talk about it tomorrow if there's anything."

Aunt Xia went out to wash up and went to bed. After lying on the bed, Aunt Xia said, "The kang at home is still more comfortable. The bed over there is too soft and I can't get used to it."

"Isn't it better to be softer? You just aren't destined to enjoy life. You can't get used to sleeping on such a comfortable bed in the city, but you find it very comfortable sleeping on the hard kang at home."

"If I were so delicate, could you support me if I married you? Seriously." The two chatted while falling asleep.

The next morning, just as Father Xia and his family had finished breakfast and before they could clean up, someone came to visit. Hearing the knock on the door, Father Xia went out to open it. Looking at his second uncle at the door, he said, "Uncle and Aunt, you came here so early to talk to my dad about something?"

Second uncle said, "I heard you guys were back, so I came to chat with your dad and listen to what you guys have been saying outside."

"Okay, okay, my dad is in the room, you can go in." He then made way for the door and let the two of them in. Seeing that there was no one behind, Father Xia closed the door.

He didn't know that this was just the beginning. The news that Grandpa Xia's family had returned had spread everywhere. For the people in the village, their trip to Zhuang County was something worth talking about.

The farthest place these old people have been to is their county, so when they heard that Grandpa Xia and his friends had returned from visiting their granddaughter across the city, they all wanted to hear him talk about what was happening outside.

They couldn't get out, so it was good to listen. Of course, there were some shameless people inside who wanted to take advantage of the Xia family. Some even heard that Xia Jin had arranged jobs for them and wanted to get their own sons in as well, but that was all for later.

Now Father Xia was busy entertaining his second uncle. They entered the house together. Second Uncle Xia looked at his younger brother sitting on the kang and said, "You're back. I was always worried about you during the days you were gone. Tell me, this is the first time in all these years."

"You've walked so far. What if you get lost? What if you can't find your way home?"

Grandpa Xia helped his brother onto the bed and said with a smile, "You're just worrying about nothing. I'm already so old, where can I leave it? Besides, I won't do it, but there are young people here with me."

"How can I get lost with them around?"

"Of course not. They are young, but they have never been out before. This is their first time, so I can't worry too much."

"Okay, okay, Lao Er, go get some water. I'll have a good chat with your uncle."
