Chapter 156: Revisiting the Old Place (Ending 2)
At night, the stone steps are slightly cool and the sky is filled with stars.
Xie Yuduo spread out the rice paper and carefully outlined the branches and leaves of the new medicinal herbs he had acquired today. Xie Huaimeng snuggled up to Shen Qi, yawning with sleepiness but still refusing to sleep.
"Mother, can you tell me again which relatives my sister and brother are going to visit on this long trip?"
Chen Qi was also thinking about this matter. She smiled gently, took her little daughter in her arms, and asked her to rest her head on her legs.
Then, she propped up her arms and supported her forehead, while looking at Xie Yuduo's concentrated and careful figure, and told her little daughter again the itinerary of the siblings' trip to the north.
"Sister and brother's first stop is to go to Pingshan County. There is my father's old house there, and it was also my parents' first home..."
The first stop is Pingshan County.
Xie Huaiming and Xie Huailang, brother and sister, first visited their grandfather who was living at home, and then went to pay homage to their grandmother and great-grandmother and sweep the graves.
Many years ago, my second uncle was riding a horse while drunk on a snowy night. He accidentally fell off his horse and froze to death on the street.
Half a year later, Old Mrs. Wu arranged for Aunt Yun to remarry. Seeing that she was living a stable life, she finally resolved the knot that had been weighing on her heart for many years.
One afternoon, after worshiping Buddha, Old Mrs. Wu lay down on the bed for a nap and never woke up again. She died of old age.
The widowed Second Aunt was getting older day by day, just like the lies she had made up before. She suffered from back and leg pain all day long, and was plagued by illness. She couldn't even sleep well.
Sun Xueyi became the head of the household, managing all the household expenses and diligently caring for Xie Yan, who had always refused to leave his hometown. After all, most of the property on Silver Lion Street was inherited from them.
When Mrs. Wu was still alive, she found a posthumous child from among her maternal relatives and gave him to Xie Yuming and Sun Xueyi to inherit the family business she and her late husband had created.
The child was not even a month old, but the couple was so happy that they treated him as their own child and raised him with care.
Actually, this child's family is somewhat related to Du Xiaowu.
That year, when the family letter with the news reached the capital, Xiaowu was also present. He counted his generations on his fingers for a long time and finally sighed.
"This kid is really lucky. He was born into a good family for free."
Xiao Ling kicked him.
"Kneel down and kowtow now, acknowledge Second Grandma as your godmother, call me godmother, and you will definitely receive lucky money during every festival!"
After saying that, everyone in the room laughed.

The second stop is Guangling City.
Both the brother and sister were born here, and there were two families of relatives here who were leaving, one was the family of their eldest aunt Yu Zhong, and the other was the family of their eldest uncle Shen Shao.
Thanks to Mr. Xie's influence, the He family's wealth grew day by day. Many years ago, they split up and bought a house. The family of four now lives a very happy life.
In his early years, Shen Shao moved from Pingshan County to Guangling City with his parents, wife and children. His business was much better than that of the He family. He was well-known in Guangling City and lived a wealthy and healthy life.

After arriving at the third stop, Beijing, the brother and sister had more relatives to visit.
As soon as they arrived in the suburbs of Beijing, Uncle Du and Aunt Ling, who were always busy with their work, showed up and personally took in the two children whom they had watched grow up.
Everyone in the capital knows that Mr. Du is very capable and controls the northern border trade routes. He is on par with Ms. Qin, who specializes in north-south shipping.
However, no one noticed that these two tycoons sometimes lived in the north and south, but always set out to return to Beijing at the same time.
The two followed different routes and entered different city gates, but they always ended up in the same house and behind the same door...
On the same bed, there is always someone murmuring and expressing the lingering longing that has accumulated for months.
There are always some people who are a little impatient.
"I'm so busy, and you're just saying whether you're coming or not. Why are you making so much noise?"
