Chapter 397 Bringing Parents Back to the City

Xia Juanjuan couldn't help laughing: "Anyway, as long as you are happy."

Whether or not they make money is secondary. Xia Juanjuan mainly wants them to have something to do.

At first, Xia Shuangshan felt useless and lost because he had suddenly moved from the countryside to the city, so he carried her on his back to haul coal.

Rather than working hard on the street, it is better to work hard in your own store, which gives you a sense of accomplishment and belonging.

The store is only opened half a day, and Qi Ningyu helps. If you still feel tired, you can hire someone else. It’s no big deal.

Lizhan had no objection to this matter, so he helped to dry the beans while listening to Xia Juanjuan's arrangements with a smile.

That night, Li Zhan couldn't wait to strip Xia Juanjuan naked, and said with a smile: "Didn't you want to touch her abdominal muscles during the day? Now I'll let you touch them."

Xia Juanjuan was so embarrassed that she punched him lightly in the stomach. Lizhan covered his stomach and pretended to be in pain.

Xia Juanjuan didn't believe it at first, but when she saw that he looked painful and hadn't spoken for a long time, she became afraid and quickly pulled him to look, and then she was knocked down all of a sudden.

"Juanjuan, are you trying to murder your husband?"

The next day, Li Zhan and Xia Juanjuan went to the train station to buy tickets, planning to leave for the farm where Shen Wanxue and the others were in two days.

Two days later, the two set off.

The triplets clamored to go, but Xia Juanjuan gave them fifty cents to send them away. The three of them happily went to the grocery store to buy egg rolls.

Xia Juanjuan also left an extra five yuan for Xiaowen and the others, and told Xiaowen and Xiaowu to take good care of their grandparents and younger brothers, and if anything happened, to go to Grandma Fu and their third uncle for help.

In fact, she has given pocket money to the children since they started school. Xiaowen, who is in junior high school, gets two yuan a month, and Xiaowu and Beibei, who are in primary school, get one yuan. They can use the money to buy stationery or snacks.

However, Xia Juanjuan would not interfere too much in how they used the money. At most, she would ask a few questions, and as long as they did not do anything bad, it would be fine.

Xiaowen and Xiaowu nodded sensibly. Beibei also said, "Uncle Si, Mom, don't worry. With us here, nothing will happen at home!"

Xia Juanjuan was amused and said, "Okay, I'll leave it to you then."

Li Zhan and Xia Juanjuan did not delay either. They bought sleeper tickets and traveled overnight. They arrived in Hohhot the next morning. They then took a bus to the county seat where the farm was located.

However, they no longer have to go to the farm.

The local authorities had already notified those who could return to the city, and they all agreed to be taken to the county guesthouse by cars sent by the county leaders.

If you go back by yourself or are picked up by family, you can stay for a few more or fewer days according to your own circumstances.

Shen Wanxue and Rong Zhenbang had already received their telegram, so they were waiting in the guesthouse.

Many other people had left one after another. Before those who were closer to them left, I came over to say goodbye to them. I heard that they were waiting for their son and daughter-in-law to pick them up, and I couldn't help but feel envious.

"Alas! Your son and daughter-in-law are really conscientious. I have four sons and three daughters. I am about to return to the city. I sent a telegram to them, but not a single one replied to me. They are afraid that I will implicate them!"

After hearing this, Shen Wanxue and Rong Zhenbang felt upset and pulled him aside to say many comforting words.

After they sent that person away, someone from the guesthouse came up to them and told them that someone who claimed to be their son and daughter-in-law had arrived.

"Really...really?" Shen Wanxue and Rong Zhenbang were so happy that they stuttered.

Shen Wanxue smiled with tears in her eyes. She quickly touched her head and asked Rong Zhenbang, "Zhenbang, take a quick look. Is my hair messy? Do I look too haggard?"

When she looked again, she saw that Rong Zhenbang's hair had turned gray and the wrinkles on his face had deepened. She thought that she herself might not be much better, and she couldn't help feeling sad. She picked up her handkerchief and wiped her tears.

Rong Zhenbang smoothed her hair and said with a smile, "Look at you. When you couldn't see your son and daughter-in-law, you kept talking about them every day, but now that they are finally meeting, you start crying again. If Lizhan and Juanjuan saw this, you must be feeling bad."

Shen Wanxue punched her and said, "What can I do? I don't want to cry either!"

However, she quickly adjusted her mood and walked over tremblingly with Rong Zhenbang.

Li Zhan and Xia Juanjuan were in the front hall. When they saw Shen Wanxue and Rong Zhenbang coming down together, they hurried over to support them.

Li Zhan still felt a little awkward since they had never lived together before.

However, he hesitated for a moment, then said solemnly: "Dad, Mom! We are here to pick you up!"

If you still can't call out "Dad and Mom" ​​now, how sad they must be.

Xia Juanjuan also shouted: "Dad, Mom."

"Hey! Hey! Lizhan, Juanjuan, I never thought that we could be reunited as a family..."

As she spoke, Shen Wanxue once again raised her handkerchief to wipe her tears.

Xia Juanjuan saw that the handkerchief in her hand looked like it was made of embroidered silk. Then she and Rong Zhenbang were both wearing neat and clean clothes. Although they were of popular styles, they still exuded the aura of being young masters and young ladies from wealthy families.

I think she hid this handkerchief on purpose and only took it out to use today.

Xia Juanjuan was very impressed by their demeanor.

Rong Zhenbang smiled and said, "Hey! Don't blame me, your mother is just excited."

Xia Juanjuan held Shen Wanxue's hand, and her eyes couldn't help but turn red. She said, "Mom, don't be restrained. If you want to cry, just cry. I'll accompany you."

Li Zhan and Rong Zhenbang felt helpless and distressed when they saw the two ladies like this.

Shen Wanxue took Xia Juanjuan aside and asked about the situation at home, how Xiaowen, Xiaowu and Beibei were, how the triplets were, etc.

Xia Juanjuan explained them one by one.

"Xiao Wen and Xiao Wu are both in junior high school, Bei Bei is in the fifth grade, and Yan Yan, Ye Ye, and Yao Yao will also be in the first grade of elementary school this September. Otherwise, I would have brought them all here."

Shen Wanxue thought about how she left Qingshui Village when the triplets were only two years old. It had already been four years.

"Really? They're all in primary school now? I don't know if the three little guys still look exactly the same. I can't tell them apart..."

Li Zhan laughed and said, "Isn't it? Sometimes I call out the wrong names. Once I call out the wrong names, those three little bastards will dislike me together..."

This made everyone laugh.

Shen Wanxue glanced at Rong Zhenbang and said, "Ah. Time has passed so quickly. Your father hasn't even seen the children yet."

Xia Juanjuan would ask someone to send photos to me every year, but I have never seen the real person.

"Mom, we've already bought your tickets. We'll be able to see you as soon as we get back to Beijing!"

Shen Wanxue nodded continuously and said, "Yeah! Okay!"

Xia Juanjuan continued, "Mom, where will you and Dad live after returning to Beijing..."
