Chapter 39 Going Home



Hou Taotao was very curious about how she managed to keep Sixth Brother.

Zhao Xiaoyue made a startling statement in a nonchalant tone, "I said he's dead, and I'll make sure Huo Qingqing is buried with someone else!"

Hou Taotao stood there dumbfounded: Didn't Sixth Brother beat you to death?

This isn't just touching a sore spot, it's practically pulling out the skin!

So brave!

Of course, he didn't dare say it, otherwise what if the little boss immediately kicked out?

In short, it's good that Sixth Brother is alive!

"By the way, Uncle Tao, I'm transferring to this middle school after I turn ten, so see you in two years. Don't look for me unless it's important, and don't look for me even if it is! Thank you!"

Zhao Xiaoyue told her about her plans to leave. Her vacation was almost over after two months, and she was going back home. She was going to use the 30,000 yuan she had to pull off a big heist.

I can't wait!

Zhao Xiaoyue's trip was arranged perfectly by Master Pu, and Master Pu himself was quite happy.

The next day at daybreak, they boarded the train home.

Zhao Xiaoyue ranted: So what if he's a big shot? He still takes the train!

Sixteen hours later, after getting off the bus, they took another bus back to Yanyang Village.

Zhao Xiaoyue took a deep breath, it felt so damn good!

Uncle Pu returned to his dilapidated little courtyard and instantly became a disheveled old man.

Zhao Zhe was enjoying the shade under the big tree at the entrance. Everyone in his family was busy. Li Guilan and the old lady were managing two restaurants, while Zhao Guozhong was still working at the fertilizer factory.

Zhao Zhe lived alone at home. The children in the village were either at school or doing farm work during holidays. Zhao Zhe didn't like crowds, so he could only look after the house.

When he saw Zhao Xiaoyue appear in front of him with her small shoulder bag, he felt as if he finally had someone like him and was no longer alone.

Zhao Xiaoyue frowned. "Are you stupid? Or did you do something you shouldn't have? Where did Mom and Dad go?"

Zhao Zhe snapped out of his daze, stood up, patted his bottom, and said, "They're all in the shop. Business has been booming lately, and Grandma wants to find a few more people to help out. I think that's what she said."

As they walked back, one of them said, "Then what are you doing here all alone? Why don't you go and help?"

"I don't really want to go to crowded places; I just want to stay at home."

Zhao Xiaoyue turned her head to look at the boy. He had a Russian look, his hair was like it was sprinkled with gold, and his light blue eyes always had a hint of melancholy, like a seashell, with a soft interior.

Zhao Zhe felt a little uncomfortable being scrutinized. Just as he was about to change the subject, Zhao Xiaoyue's cool voice drifted into his ear.

"Zhao Zhe, are you planning to betray me once you've grown up and become independent?"

Zhao Zhe quickly shook his head, but before he could explain, Zhao Xiaoyue said, "So, are we all wicked people?"

Zhao Zhe stared wide-eyed and shook his head vigorously.

Zhao Xiaoyue smiled and said, "Call me 'sister'!"

"sister!!"

"Okay, good girl, remember I'm your older sister, and your name is Zhao Zhe."

"Alright, let's go home!"

Zhao Zhe followed behind, a joyful feeling creeping onto his face. He used to think it was all unreal, like a bubble that would burst at the slightest touch.

Just now, he suddenly realized that he felt at home!

Yes, his name is Zhao Zhe!

The gloom on his brows instantly disappeared!

Zhao Guozhong and his wife actually doted on him like their own son. The old lady, in particular, had a sharp tongue but a soft heart. She looked fierce, but she would secretly give him pocket money.

But he just felt it wasn't real.

Five- or six-year-old boys are sensitive and perceptive; how could they escape Zhao Xiaoyue's notice?

That's why we had that conversation just now.

When the family returned home in the evening, they were all very happy to see Zhao Xiaoyue.

Zhao Xiaoyue's biggest concern was Li Guilan's health.

Zhao Guozhong said with a smile that after several more tests, the situation was improving. It was fortunate that it was discovered early, otherwise, with the current level of medical care, there would have been no way to save it.

Zhao Xiaoyue was finally relieved.

The old lady even pulled Zhao Xiaoyue into her house to talk.

"How was your trip?"

Zhao Xiaoyue looked distressed. "Oh dear, don't even mention it! It's so worrying!"

She told the old lady about her experience, and the old lady never expected her granddaughter to be so capable.

As Zhao Xiaoyue spoke, she handed her 30,000 yuan bank draft to the old lady, which surprised the old lady so much that her small eyes widened considerably.

Zhao Xiaoyue, munching on sunflower seeds, asked, "Grandma, doesn't our Lufeng Town have any hotels yet?"

The old lady knew it like the back of her hand. "There is one, next to the train station, but it's state-owned. These days, not just anyone can afford to run a guesthouse or hotel, right?"

Zhao Xiaoyue's eyes lit up, "Let's open one!"

The old lady chuckled, "This kid really dares to think!"

He said, "Tell me the specifics of how to drive it!"

Zhao Xiaoyue sat up straight and said, "Let's open a bed and breakfast!"

Then he began his performance and explained where the 30,000 yuan went.

The old lady thought it was a good idea. She suggested starting on a smaller scale now and making money later, or closing down if it didn't.

The guesthouse was opened when Zhao Xiaoyue started school, and the permits were only obtained six months later!

Zhao Guozhong resigned and changed careers to become a guesthouse owner.

However, Zhao Xiaoyue spent quite a long time thinking about the name of the guesthouse.

It was the old lady who made the final decision: "You came up with the idea, you raised the money, and your nickname is Little Sun, so everything revolves around you. Let's just call it {Sun Tribe}!"

Zhao Xiaoyue...

This old lady is quite avant-garde, but the name sounds a bit awkward. In the end, Zhao Xiaoyue made the final decision and named it "Homecoming Inn".

So, a guesthouse called "Guitu Inn" opened in Lufeng Town. It was cheap and clean, and became more and more popular. Eventually, they bought the entire building on the same floor, which was more than 2,000 square meters!

But that's a story for another time.

In the second half of the year, Zhao Xiaoyue focused on her studies. Whenever there was a competition or activity, the school would sign her up immediately!
