With so many people and so much stuff, it's more convenient to drive ourselves. We originally planned to rent a car, but Catherine offered a campervan and an SUV, so Yan Shi and Yao Tang can just wait to ride in them.
Yan Shi originally felt that he had enough things, after all, he had children and a dog, and he wished he could move the whole house there.
Yao Tang only brought two suitcases, one for clothes and one for daily necessities.
Looking at Catherine's luggage, Yan Shi realized he didn't have much.
"Are you on vacation or moving? This is way too much."
While others move using a small truck, Catherine went straight for a large truck and even brought two assistants along.
"These are my tools of the trade; I have to take them with me wherever I go."
The group set off very early in the morning and arrived just as evening was approaching.
Yan Shi's house couldn't accommodate such a large commotion, so he had to leave the things unloaded and park the car in a place where it wouldn't get in the way.
The room was quite dusty. None of the three of them were particularly diligent, so they tidied up the bed and went to sleep first.
The twins didn't come with Yan Shi; she came back first to pack, and Zhuang Zhao will bring the children over later.
Erwang came along, but he wasn't very comfortable after the long car ride. He only ate a few bites of dog food before lying down.
Yan Shi and Yao Tang chattered away, getting happier and happier as they talked. They talked about everything from their future plans and ideal lives to their pets and favorite foods, and any topic could be expanded on endlessly.
In the end, it was only after Catherine, who couldn't sleep from the noise, called them to go to sleep that they quieted down.
The two of them fell asleep after a short while, and Catherine sighed as she listened to their breathing.
She had insomnia.
It seems I've been having more and more insomnia lately. Well, at my age, it's embarrassing to still be entangled in this poison of love.
Let's stop worrying about those things and just enjoy this long vacation.
Catherine's two assistants, a man and a woman, were arranged to sleep downstairs. They were said to be a couple. The man served as her driver and cook, while the woman served as her personal assistant. The two of them worked together to help Catherine in both work and life and had been working together for a long time.
In the morning, before Yan Shi even opened his eyes, he could smell the aroma of food.
Wait a minute, Zhuang Zhao isn't here, so who's cooking?
When I went downstairs, I saw Catherine in the kitchen. Could she, who was used to holding a scalpel, handle a kitchen knife?
Yan Shi went over and found that Yao Tang was also watching.
"Why did you suddenly decide to cook?"
"I've always enjoyed cooking, but I felt it was a waste of time. Now that it's a holiday, I'm just wasting it."
Caitlin's cooking skills were better than expected. After breakfast, she took Erwang for a walk, then went back to tidy up a bit, had a nap, and then ate breakfast.
Looking up, you see endless fields and blue skies, unlike the city where buildings are right next to you, making it impossible for your eyes to relax.
In the afternoon, they went back to the old house, where the illusion array left by Bu Ke amazed Yao Tang and Catherine.
"I wonder if the illusion array will work on small animals." Yao Tang looked at Erwang in Yan Shi's hand.
"Useful for those who rely on their eyes to determine direction."
Yao Tang wanted to ask something more, but Yan Shi abruptly interrupted her.
In Northeast China, early May is considered early spring. In warm places, grass covers the ground, while in shady areas, grass hasn't grown yet and insects haven't hatched, so there's no need to worry about encountering insects.
The greenhouse was much more lively, with weeds and withered flowers intertwined, and you could also see all sorts of insects.
Yan Shi: I should have known better than to close the door. It's too warm in winter, and the insects haven't even frozen to death.
Two days later, Zhuang Zhao brought the twins over and helped Da Peng get settled in. After staying for two nights, he rushed back to work.
"Is it okay for you and Zhuang Zhao to live apart?" Catherine asked, swirling her wine glass.
It turns out that her truckload wasn't just filled with medical equipment; it also contained food and drinks.
"If we don't separate soon, we'll get divorced. The relationship is too close, the environment is too oppressive, and the children need to be taken care of all the time. It's too damaging to our feelings."
Yan Shi also realized that ever since she gave birth, she had been getting angry with Zhuang Zhao over trivial matters, and most importantly, it was often not Zhuang Zhao's fault.
Unable to control her emotions, she decided to separate and go back to her hometown to clear her head.
Aren't you afraid Zhuang Zhao will fall for someone else?
"Don't worry, if he cheats on me, I'll just dump him and raise the two kids myself. It'll be tough, though."
“In a sense, you are the master of emotional control,” Catherine said.
The twins weren't troublesome. When Yan Shi was too busy, Yao Tang and Catherine would help him out. Their days in the countryside were fulfilling and happy.
Yao Tang is very good at making clothes, especially traditional costumes, which are loose and comfortable to wear and look beautiful.
Catherine switched careers to become a veterinarian. After all, there were too few people here, and people with minor ailments like headaches and fevers would take their own medicine without needing her help. However, there were quite a few sick and injured animals.
This place is neither near mountains nor water, and there are hardly any wild animals. You can't even see a weasel or a civet normally. But since Yao Tang came, all sorts of rare little animals have become common.
It greatly satisfied Yan Shi's fantasy of small animals. Being surrounded by these small animals every day was a healing experience. Even when he video chatted with Zhuang Zhao every day, his mood improved a lot, and he had endless happiness to share every day.
Zhuang Zhao would come over to stay for at least a few days every month, and the frequency was getting more and more frequent. Each time, he would bring delicious food and gifts, making Yan Shi look forward to his visit.
On the twins' first birthday, Zhuang Zhao not only brought Yifan over, but also his master and senior brother.
"Why are you here?" Although her master was a scumbag and she hadn't spent much time with her senior brother, she considered her master and senior brother as family from the bottom of her heart.
"It's my dear disciple's child's first birthday, how could we, as elders, not come and see?" The master, hand in hand with Ding Xiang, walked with a smile toward Yan Nuan and Yan Han, taking out two pure silver longevity locks from his pocket and placing them beside the child.
