Chapter 165 Return to the Village



They visited one tourist spot a day.

According to Zhou Shuyan, they would be living in the imperial capital anyway, so there was no need to rush to finish the tour together.

There are still many people during the National Day.

Once they move in, we can go play there every weekend.

Zhou Shuyan has not returned to Zhou's house for the past few days, and Xu Jingmin is extremely curious at home.

I also discussed with Aunt Yao, "What do you think Shuyan has been doing these days? He comes home every day when he's at work, but now that he's on vacation, he's nowhere to be seen. He's not on a business trip."

"Maybe he went back to live in his own home." Aunt Yao replied.

Before Zhou Shuyan's accident, he lived in his own residence most of the time.

"No, I asked his aunt, and her place is always empty." Xu Jingmin asked curiously, "He is acting mysterious now."

Aunt Yao couldn't give an answer to Xu Jingmin's doubts.

The two of them could only guess at home, but no one asked Zhou Shuyan. They had nothing to do anyway, so they just guessed for fun.

On the 5th, Zhou Shuyan and Lu Youxi accompanied Lu Zhenguo and the other two back to Hexing Village early in the morning.

At around three o'clock in the afternoon, we returned to Hexing Village.

When the family returned, the villagers were very surprised.

I didn't expect Lu Youxi to come back so soon.

They also thought that Lu Youxi would be like Lu Youbang, who would go to the imperial capital like a wild horse and never return to the village.

They went home, put down their luggage, and packed up simply.

Liu Yusu began to prepare dinner.

Lu Youxi and Zhou Shuyan took the gifts they bought in the imperial capital, as well as the things that Aunt Liu, Aunt Lin, and the village chief asked Liu Yusu to bring back from the imperial capital, and went to the three families to check them out and gave them the gifts.

Finally, I went to Grandma Xu's house with Zhou Shuyan and took the gifts.

Grandma Xu was still alone at home, and there was no change in the house, just as it was when they left.

"Grandma Xu!" Lu Youxi called out as soon as he entered the door.

Grandma Xu heard the sound and hurried out.

"Youxi, Xiao Zhou!" Grandma Xu's eyes became wet with excitement when she saw the two of them. She quickly grabbed their hands and pulled them into the house, "Come in quickly."

"I heard that you were back." Grandma Xu asked them to sit down, poured them some water, and busied herself with it.

"Grandma Xu, please stop busying yourself." Lu Youxi said hurriedly.

"Not busy, not busy." Grandma Xu smiled, "I don't have much to do at home usually. I go to town to sell things and come back home. Only when you come, I have something to do and a chance to move around more."

"I heard that you were back, but I didn't expect you to come so soon." Grandma Xu said distressedly, "You must be so tired after a whole day's journey. Why don't you rest at home? I'm not going anywhere else. You can come back after you've rested."

Although she said that, it was obvious that Grandma Xu was very happy that they came immediately.

"Isn't this because I miss you?" Lu Youxi said loudly.

Grandma Xu is old and her hearing is gradually weakening.

You have to speak louder when you talk to her.

"And Zhou Shuyan missed you too." Lu Youxi said with a smile, "He came back just to see you."

These words made Grandma Xu laugh so hard that she couldn't stop.

Grandma Xu has a son and a daughter, both of whom work in the city.

The two children live in two cities, one in the south and one in the north. They are both married and have children, and have settled down in the city.

I can’t say that life is that good, but I have sent my children to school in the city.

I usually don’t give Grandma Xu any living expenses.

According to Grandma Xu, it is not easy for children to live in the city. The expenses are high, and it is not easy for them to be self-sufficient and support themselves.

The children have done their best by not asking her for money.

Grandma Xu lives here on her own and doesn't spend much. Although the money she earns is not much, it is enough for her to get by.

However, Zhou Shuyan felt that this was not a matter of money.

It's not right for Grandma Xu to live here alone all the time.

As Grandma Xu gets older, there will be a time when she will need someone to take care of her.

In case of any accident, there is someone at home who can discover it in time.

Even if the neighbors paid attention to it, they probably wouldn't be able to discover that something was wrong with Grandma Xu in the first place.

"Grandma Xu, I think you should go to the imperial capital with us this time." Zhou Shuyan said.

Grandma Xu was surprised and asked, "What do you mean?"

"I've thought about it. It's inconvenient for you to live alone without your children around." Zhou Shuyan said, "Besides, this place is far from the hospital and transportation is not convenient. If you feel unwell, you can't get medical treatment in time. Neighbors may not be able to find out in time. You are getting older and older. I'm afraid you will encounter some inconveniences in your daily life."

"Why don't you come with us to the imperial capital?" Zhou Shuyan said, "That way I can take care of you nearby."

Zhou Shuyan mentioned this matter to Lu Youxi.

Zhou Shuyan's plan was to provide Grandma Xu with a place to live in the imperial capital.

Although he had many properties, they were all relatively luxurious and he was worried that Grandma Xu would feel stressed living there.

So we plan to have someone buy an ordinary house for Grandma Xu to live in.

It would be better if we could be closer to the Lu family.

We can still take care of each other in normal times.

"Yes, Grandma Xu." Lu Youxi followed up, "I rented a house in the capital, with three bedrooms. I usually live in school and don't go home. Because I don't go home, Zhou Shuyan usually lives with my mother-in-law."

As Lu Youxi spoke, he muttered to himself that he was becoming more and more proficient in calling her "mother-in-law".

"So my room at home is empty, you can just live in my room." Lu Youxi said, "When I'm on vacation, I have to move in with Zhou Shuyan. I can't let him live in my house, right? If the neighbors see him, they'll probably gossip about him."

Zhou Shuyan looked at Lu Youxi with some surprise.

Lu Youxi never said that Grandma Xu should live in the Lu family's house.

Could it be that this was Lu Youxi's plan from the beginning? That's why he reserved the second largest room and didn't give it to Lu Youxue.

Otherwise, with Lu Youxi's personality, she would not occupy the smallest room since she didn't need it normally, and would let Lu Youxue live in it.

Grandma Xu shook her head and said with a smile: "I live here and earn a little money, which is enough for me to spend. If I go to the capital, I won't be able to take care of the land and chickens and ducks here. The money I save is not enough to spend in the capital."

"Grandma Xu, you don't have to spend any money. Just keep the money you save and we will take care of you in your old age." Zhou Shuyan said.

"Xiao Zhou, I know what you mean." Grandma Xu said, "You think Youxi and I saved your life. Yes, nothing is more important than life. But it doesn't mean that I will let you support me because of this. I didn't save you just to let you support me."
