Fifth Grandpa was also thinking back to his youth in Fenglin County, and how Jiang Huashu, after traveling through time and becoming the village chief, had asked him to lead the Guanjia Village fleet to the county town to sell the village's various products. "I was so young back then, and now I'm an old man," Fifth Grandpa sighed.
Seeing the scenery outside the window, Shui Shui was also reminiscing. Li Yichen was now replaced by Zhuang Qiuqiu and took a different car. The three cars they had this time were divided into three groups: one for the men, one for the women, and one for the children.
There were many children, but of different ages, with both big and small children mixed together in one car. There was no such thing as overloading at that time. Even though there were 12 children of all sizes in the car, it was not crowded at all. There was even space in the back row for the younger ones to sleep.
The children's group was undoubtedly the most lively. None of them had ever been to their mothers' (Shuishui, Xingxing, Sun Mofei) or father's (Wuyeye, Suihe) hometowns, and they chattered excitedly the entire way. The youngest was Suihe's middle child, Jiang Zhongqiu. Born on the Mid-Autumn Festival day, Suihe casually named him Zhongqiu, nicknamed Wangwang. Wangwang, who would be four in two months, saw the empty wheat fields outside (the harvest season had already passed) and clamored to his brothers to go back home to farm.
Of the 12 children, only Tangyuan, the third child in Xingxing's family, is a little princess; the rest are all boys. But Tangyuan is a fake princess, a complete tomboy. Because they often get into fights at school and their parents are called in, Xingxing and Zhao Youqian are terrified whenever they hear a call from the teacher.
The driver was a bodyguard hired by Fifth Grandpa specifically for the children. Since the first child started elementary school, Fifth Grandpa had hired two bodyguards to pick him up and drop him off every day. Since the hijacking incident, the number has increased to four. These four people don't have to do anything every day, just take care of the children's personal safety when going to and from school. Li Yichen gave the four bodyguards the bottom line that if an uncontrollable situation arises at a critical moment, they can kill, and he will cover the rest.
All four of them are retired special forces soldiers with extensive experience, so protecting the children from school is a piece of cake for them. They are also martial arts teachers, taking the children to exercise in the mornings, evenings, and on weekends, and teaching them various self-defense techniques. Xingxing's Wusuo is incredibly talented, having already won two national elementary school martial arts competitions in the Sanda category.
A car full of sparrows chirped all the way. The car carrying the children changed drivers most frequently. Professor Dong estimated that the drivers would go crazy if they didn't change drivers frequently.
We stayed overnight in Fenglin County and visited Sun Mofei's home. Because he had a good relationship with his neighbors, Sun Mofei sent money to them every year to repair their houses. It seems the neighbors made the right choice, and the house is now well preserved.
Because of the frequent ventilation, the house is very dry. Sun Mofei's furniture is all old. She has high standards and doesn't like ordinary items. At that time, she took great pains to preserve these furniture. Now these furniture have become antiques.
Zhuang Qiuqiu was very envious when she saw these antique furniture. Too many of them were damaged during the turbulent times, and it was hard to find such beautiful furniture now.
Staying at Sun Mofei's house tonight, Li Yichen went to a nearby restaurant to order food to be delivered to his door. After eating, he went to bed early, ready to return to the village in high spirits tomorrow.
