Chapter 194 The space also became a place where the two often went in and out
It was already past three in the morning when the train arrived in Zhuang City. The two found a secluded place and entered the space to wash and rest, planning to take a car back to Sihe Village after dawn.
After many twists and turns, Tan Chen and Shang Ruoting finally returned home on the fourth day after leaving Bai City.
Old Mrs. Shang was so worried about Shang Lifeng's safety that she lost her appetite and listened to the news from Bai City on the radio every day.
As a result, the more she listened, the more disappointed she became. She always felt that it was unlikely that her son and daughter-in-law would survive such a disaster.
When Shang Ruoting and Tan Chen returned home, they saw Old Mrs. Shang sitting in the yard with a dull look in her eyes, holding a radio.
"Grandma, we're back."
When Mrs. Shang heard the long-awaited voice, she quickly stood up, put the radio aside, walked to Shang Ruoting, and held her wrist tightly.
"Tingting, have you found your parents?"
In Shang Ruoting's eyes, Mrs. Shang's current condition was even more decadent than she had imagined. Looking at her sunken eye sockets and her obviously thinner body, God knew what kind of mental torture the old lady had endured in the past few days.
"Grandma, we found my great-aunt's house..."
She told all the news she had heard in Bai City all at once, fearing that if she spoke too slowly, Mrs. Shang would imagine something else.
When Mrs. Shang heard that her son and daughter-in-law had escaped the disaster, she felt much relieved.
But after learning that they had left Kashiwa City more than ten years ago and their whereabouts were unknown, his originally calm mood became restless again.
"Tingting, do you know their address in the south?"
Although telling the truth to the old lady would be a big blow to her, Shang Ruoting still did not hide it. After all, he was the old lady's biological son, and she had the right to know.
"Grandma, my uncle doesn't know their address either. I plan to find a chance to go south and ask around."
Old Mrs. Shang sighed and sat back on the small stool.
"Ah... The South is so vast, and finding someone is like looking for a needle in a haystack. This is fate. I can't find a filial son, and the son I see every day is useless..."
Tan Chen stepped forward to comfort her: "Grandma, don't be discouraged. Ruoting and I will go find someone together when the time comes."
Old Mrs. Shang didn't have much hope for this. The fact that the person didn't die in Kashiwa City meant that there was a high possibility that he was still alive.
She just wanted to see her son one more time in her lifetime, and that would make her satisfied.
Unfortunately, all this is wishful thinking...
In order to appease Old Mrs. Shang, Shang Ruoting stayed with her the whole day, and Tan Chen took on the housework.
It was not until a few days later that Mrs. Shang's mood calmed down and the family's life returned to normal.
The old man never mentioned looking for his son and daughter-in-law again.
It was not until late August that the plastic sheets of the greenhouse at home were all installed thanks to Tan Chen's efforts.
Shang Ruoting no longer has to worry about Tan Chen's space affairs, so she is no longer so restrained about taking out some new seeds.
At the same time, the space became a place where the two of them often went in and out, especially Tan Chen, who had fallen deeply in love with the place that was like a fairyland in his heart.
Now, at night, the two of them would go into the space to soak in the hot springs and enjoy a fruit feast.
In order to let Old Lady Shang also taste the delicacies produced in the space, Tan Chen made an excuse to go to the city and brought back some seasonal fruits for her.
Old Mrs. Shang had no doubts about this. After all, the supplies in the city were new, and it was not surprising that an old lady like her had no knowledge in her hometown.
Old Mrs. Shang was not the kind of person who had to live a hard life. She advocated frugality in the past because her family really had no money.
Ever since the strawberries grown by Shang Ruoting and Tan Chen were sold at a high price, she no longer complained about Shang Ruoting's inability to make a living, and she also liked to eat the rare fruits that Tan Chen brought back.
Time passed slowly, and before September, thanks to the couple's efforts, they had planted milk strawberries, tomatoes and some vegetables in the greenhouse.
Tan Chen also knew that his wife planted vegetables in the greenhouse to cover up the supplies in the space. If someone arranged to visit their vegetable greenhouse, he would make vague excuses and not let anyone in.
After a while, everyone in the village knew that Tan Chen's greenhouse was very precious and he was reluctant to let people visit it, so the number of people who wanted to go see the greenhouse gradually decreased.
The greenhouse of Tan Chen’s family is mysterious, and the milk strawberries planted by Yang Tao in his backyard have also become a hot topic of discussion.
Everyone said that the Yang family was able to make money by growing fresh fruits thanks to Shang Ruoting.
Shang Ruoting really spared no effort to help Yangmei, her only friend. In order to make the strawberries grown by their family ripen before the soil froze, she also took the opportunity to put some spiritual spring water in the bucket used to irrigate the Yang family's land.
