Chapter 105 is just so good and so delicious!

Chen Fangyang stayed at home for a few days, spending his days either sitting or lying down inside.

Zhao Xiannan, on the other hand, followed Shen Xuewei with great enthusiasm and worked in the fields with the Chen family. In just a few days, he became several shades darker.

Originally, they planned to stay a few more days, but when Chen Fangyang went downstairs for a drink of water at night, he overheard his maternal grandfather and maternal grandmother discussing that the work in the fields was temporarily finished, and next they should move on to haul wood, bamboo, and various materials such as steel bars and concrete...

We need to keep him here to help.

After hearing this, he packed his things overnight.

As dawn broke, they went to Zhao Xiannan's and Shen Xuewei's rooms separately, dug them up, and dragged them away.

Before leaving, he hesitated for a moment, then went back inside and slipped a wad of money under the door of Grandma Xi and Grandpa Chen's room.

After giving him the money, he seemed much more at ease, turned around and ran off.

Shen Xuewei was still in a daze until she got into the car.

When the urge to get carsick hit her, she quickly opened the car window a crack.

A gentle breeze brushed past her face, and she finally breathed a sigh of relief and came back to her senses.

"Second Uncle, didn't you say you were going to stay at home for a few more days? Why did you suddenly leave early without telling me? I didn't even take my clothes or anything."

Not only Shen Xuewei complained, but Zhao Xiannan, sitting in the passenger seat, also glanced at Chen Fangyang and muttered:

"I didn't take my clothes either."

Chen Fangyang sighed, "Why are you still worrying about clothes? I'll buy you new ones when we get there."

“I overheard your grandparents talking last night. They told me to go and cut down trees and bamboo, and to carry them back from the mountain. I haven’t worked in so long, how could I possibly do that?”

"If I don't run away, won't I be in trouble when they get up in the morning?"

Compared to his lazy and pleasure-seeking stepfather Chen Fangyang, Zhao Xiannan is clearly a kind and compassionate young man.

He slowly frowned. "If we leave, won't Grandpa and Grandma have to do all the heavy work by themselves? They're so old, what if something happens to them?"

Chen Fangyang drove leisurely, "Don't worry about that. I just gave them some money and told them to hire people to do it. Anyway... they'll probably call me when they see it."

He touched the car and turned on the music.

As soothing music played, Zhao Xiannan thought for a moment and decided that he had nothing more to say, so he shut his mouth.

Shen Xuewei sat in the back row and barely listened to what they were saying.

She worked so many chores at home during the summer vacation. Although she didn't say it, her body told her that she was really tired.

Sitting in the car now, the thought of having a few days of fun and not having to work in the fields fills me with a sense of smug satisfaction.

The only downside was that the motion sickness was really quite unpleasant...

She closed her eyes and mentally hypnotized herself to go to sleep quickly so as not to feel uncomfortable.

I was counting sheep in my head, but I don't know how many I counted...

She tilted her head to the side and slowly fell asleep against the back seat.

Zhao Xiannan glanced back and whispered, "Uncle Yang, Weiwei is asleep."

Chen Fangyang turned the music in the car down considerably.

There weren't many people on the road, and after driving for a while, Chen Fangyang and Zhao Xiannan switched seats.

Zhao Xiannan drove the car, while Chen Fangyang dozed off for a while with his eyes half-closed.

Less than half an hour later, Grandpa Chen called.

Chen Fangyang pressed the answer button, and before the other end could speak, he spoke first:

“Dad, I’m almost in the county, and Weiwei is with me. Don’t be stingy with that money; use it to hire people to do work. Don’t do it yourself; just use it as it’s given to you…”

There was a moment of silence on the other end; the words that were about to be said were swallowed back.

After a long while, he finally said, "I understand, I know what I'm doing."

Just before hanging up, he asked, "When are you going to bring Weiwei back? It can't affect her schooling."

Chen Fangyang glanced at Shen Xuewei, who was sleeping soundly in the back seat, and paused for a moment when his gaze fell on her slightly sallow face.

"There are still about ten days before school starts, right? Anyway, I'll definitely send her back before the 30th, so it won't affect her starting school."

Grandpa Chen didn't say anything more, only telling them to be careful, and then hung up the phone.

Seeing that the other end of the phone had hung up, Chen Fangyang breathed a sigh of relief.

His niece was clever, but also overly sensible.

A child who is too sensible will suffer hardship and loss; he has known this principle since he was a child.

He smiled and, seeing Zhao Xiannan looking at him with a puzzled expression, he instructed, "What are you looking at me for? Drive quickly. When we get to where we were before, we'll switch back."

Zhao Xiannan grunted in agreement and turned back to focus on driving.

Suddenly, he turned his head again and said, "Uncle Yang, why did you lie to Grandpa just now, saying we were already in the county?"

Chen Fangyang sighed, "If I hadn't said that, your grandfather would probably have told me to turn back."

After hearing this, Zhao Xiannan fell silent.

Chen Fangyang squinted and continued to sleep. After about an hour, Zhao Xiannan parked the car on the side of the road and reached out to shake Chen Fangyang.

"Uncle Yang, get up. I can't drive any further ahead."

Chen Fangyang opened his eyes groggily, stretched, and the haze in his mind finally faded.

After he took over driving, we finally arrived in Luli County around noon.

Shen Xuewei is a real sleeper; she only woke up once during the entire journey.

The unique smell in the car was really unpleasant, so I forced myself to fall asleep. I didn't even notice that the two of us had taken turns driving.

The three of them randomly chose a restaurant to eat at, and after resting, they continued driving to the city of Ithaca.

After buying two outfits for Shen Xuewei, Chen Fangyang drove his car into the residential area and parked it in the parking lot.

Shen Xuewei followed him all the way, looking at the well-located and beautifully landscaped community, and sighed with admiration.

Even if housing prices plummet in the future, the prices in such neighborhoods won't be much cheaper.

When they arrived at Zhao Fang'er and Chen Fangyang's home in the elevator, her envy for Chen Fangyang was almost overflowing.

Who exactly said that looks can't put food on the table?

Her second uncle lives off his good looks, enjoying a comfortable life of luxury and receiving a fixed allowance every month...

This face is not only edible, but it's also edible at high-end restaurants.

In her previous life, she struggled for over thirty years and never got to live in such a nice place.

Her second uncle actually lived in such a high-end small apartment back in 2004.

Shen Xuewei didn't show it on her face, but the little voice inside her was already biting her handkerchief and shedding tears.

Her second uncle is really enjoying his life as a kept man.
