After cleaning up dinner, Huang Dazhuang brought over all the furniture she had chosen on a cart. In addition to the ones she had agreed on before, they also moved in kitchen cabinets and other furniture, as well as a few more buckets.
Yu Rujia: "Did you move all the furniture from your warehouse here?"
Huang Dazhuang: "These are just things I made on the spot. Compared to what you did for Qingqing, these pieces of furniture are insignificant."
Yu Rujia: "It seems I won't need to buy furniture for a long time to come."
Huang Dazhuang: "What do you need? Just come and pick it up if you need anything. I can't guarantee anything else, but we'll make sure you have enough furniture."
Yu Rujia: "Please keep a close eye on your sister-in-law's illness. She should be almost recovered after finishing the medicine I prepared. But all medicines have side effects, so it's better to use food therapy afterwards."
"You can make her some meat soup or eggs. If anything new happens, come to me anytime."
The brigade has a river and a pond with fish in them, and Huang Dazhuang's family raises chickens that lay eggs. All of these can be used to nourish Sun Qingqing.
Huang Dazhuang: "I understand. We'll try to get more things for Qingqing to nourish her body. If Yu Zhiqing needs anything else, she can come to us."
In Jiangcheng, Xia Jingrong returned to the army. After a day of training, he packed up simply and went to the home of Xia Taishun, the third branch of the Xia family.
He arrived at the military base too late yesterday and it wasn't convenient for him to visit Xia Taishun. He could only come over today after training to tell them about the latest situation of the Xia family.
The third branch of the Xia family consists of Xia Taishun, his wife Gao Xiujuan, their eighteen-year-old eldest son Xia Jingshu, and their fourteen-year-old youngest son Xia Jingguo.
After the Xia family incident, in order to save Gao Xiujuan and his two sons, Xia Taishun divorced Gao Xiujuan. Both sons followed Gao Xiujuan and changed their names to Gao Shujing and Gao Guojing respectively.
Fortunately, with the help of his old superior, Xia Taishun was not implicated when the Xia family got into trouble. He is still a division commander in the military region, but it will be difficult for him to get promoted in the future.
Knowing that Xia Jingrong would come tonight, Gao Xiujuan brought her two sons to Xia Taishun.
Xia Taishun was worried that Yu Rujia couldn't take care of four children by herself, and she also had to take care of the Xia family. His position couldn't be moved for various reasons, so Gao Shujing got his university graduation certificate early and used his connections to prepare to go to the countryside to work in Shangfen Brigade.
Gao Shujing's notice to go to the countryside has come down, and there are only two days left before going to the countryside. Xia Jingrong came at the right time.
Upon his arrival, Xia Taishun led him into the living room and went straight to the point: "Jingrong, how are your grandfather and the others?"
Gao Shujing brought a glass of water and placed it in front of Xia Jingrong, then sat down and listened to their conversation.
In addition to him, Gao Xiujuan and Gao Guojing were also sitting aside listening.
Xia Jingrong: "The situation is better than we imagined. It's too far from Yanjing, so it hasn't been affected by the storm. They've been quite friendly to the people who were sent down."
“Grandpa and the others were assigned to work separately. Grandpa is getting old, and farm work is hard, so he often needs to rest. The people there never said anything to Grandpa. As long as Grandpa and the others can finish their work for the day, they won’t say anything more.”
Xia Taishun: "Rujia was farsighted enough to choose the place furthest from Yanjing, which prevented so many problems. What about Rujia? How can she manage with four children on her own?"
Xia Jingrong: "She's having a lot of trouble on her end. Preparing food and clothing for the children takes up a lot of time every day."
"After taking care of the children, I still have to find time to process medicinal herbs. There's no rest all day long. Where is Jingshu's rural assignment? Can he go to Dongyuan Commune?"
Xia Jingshu changed his name to Gao Shujing. The Xia family couldn't get used to it right away. In front of their own family, they didn't need to be wary and still habitually called him 'Jingshu'.
Gao Shujing: "The notice to go to the countryside has been issued. We will depart the day after tomorrow. The destination is Dongyuan Commune."
Xia Jingrong: "As long as the destination is correct, I've already asked someone to help. If they see your name on the list, they'll assign you to Shangfen Brigade."
"I told people that you don't know Rujia, and that I entrusted you to take care of Rujia. How you get to know Rujia later is up to you to decide, but in short, it has to be reasonable."
Gao Shujing: "I will act according to the circumstances."
Xia Jingrong envied Gao Shujing for being able to accompany Yu Rujia openly. If he changed his name, even if he could not retire from the army to accompany Yu Rujia, he would find a way to visit her more often.
Unfortunately, changing his name wasn't so easy for him. Gao Xiujuan was able to divorce Xia Taishun so smoothly and return to the Gao family with her two sons. Her brother Gao Tianmu, who was her mentor, and Xia Taishun's former superior made significant contributions to the process.
His mother, Xu Xiangyue, didn't have such connections. She had been married into the Xia family for over twenty years, and if she wanted to leave, she couldn't do so without giving up something or some information. Therefore, she had no way to escape with Xia Jingrong.
If Xia Jingrong changed his name, the Xia family's affairs would be exposed accidentally. For this reason, he could only continue to use the name Xia Jingrong.
For the safety of the Xia family and Yu Rujia, he couldn't even visit Yu Rujia openly until the Xia family was rehabilitated.
Xia Jingrong could only suppress his bitterness and suggest that Gao Shujing take better care of Yu Rujia.
Xia Jingrong: "Rujia is stubborn. She was worried that her grandparents would not adapt to the environment there, so she secretly took the child to visit them several times, hoping to make them happy."
“But you know the situation at home. If people find out that Rujia is still in contact with the Xia family, all the things she did before will be for nothing. It would be a small matter if the whole family were locked up in a cowshed. I’m afraid they would fall into endless torment again.”
"Later, my second aunt got so angry that she said she would kill herself if Rujia went to see them again. Only then did Rujia calm down and say that she would honestly take care of the children and live a good life."
“But Rujia has always been very opinionated, and I’m worried she might have other ideas. After you go there, keep a close eye on Rujia and don’t let her do whatever she wants.”
When it comes to Yu Rujia's strong will, Gao Guojing said, "If she were an obedient person, she wouldn't have bullied us for years. In my opinion, getting her to behave is as difficult as climbing to heaven."
Yu Rujia risked her life to help the Xia family escape their predicament. Gao Guojing no longer disliked her as before, but he still didn't believe that she would change her nature and listen to advice.
As a victim who had been robbed many times by the original body, Gao Guojing had made trouble several times, but still could not change the result of being robbed. He thought he had a deep understanding of Rujia's stubbornness.
He never imagined that Yu Rujia's body had been replaced with a new core. Of course, Yu Rujia, who had a new core, was not someone who was easy to control.
