Chapter 1000 Leisurely Daily Life in the Countryside

Later.

Qiao Xi and Huo Xingzhou settled down in Moon Village.

During the day, she followed Cheng Han to see patients.

The villagers in the countryside are very simple, and although they sometimes quarrel over trivial matters, Qiao Xi's heart has found a home here. She seems to have returned to her carefree childhood when everything was fine.

The bustle of the countryside made her feel peaceful.

There were a lot of people she met every time, and she and Lao Chen often went under the willow tree at the entrance of the village to listen to gossip.

The gossipy women would always gather there to talk about whose family had a baby, whose family had married, which family in the village was going to have a banquet, how much the gift should be, who was going to help, and which family was quarreling with which family.

As Cheng Han's apprentice, Qiao Xi, who was born and raised in Yueliang Village, also receives many invitations.

In the village, invitations were given warmly verbally, without the complicated procedures of the upper class society in Haicheng, and there was no such thing as an invitation.

The banquets in the village are very down-to-earth, and the dishes are mostly rich in oil and red sauce.

I don’t know why, but Qiao Xi’s appetite has improved a lot since she stayed here.

A lot of flesh has grown on the little face.

"Madam, what gifts should we bring to Aunt Chunhua's house today? I heard that her new house is very grand, located on two acres of land at the foot of the mountain. It is a three-story villa, a rare design in the village."

The villagers' income is increasing, and Huo Xingzhou has introduced some agricultural assistance projects.

Nowadays, every household is not as poor as before.

Aunt Chunhua and her family are very hardworking. They contracted the fish pond and lotus pond in the village. They also built a farmhouse nearby. Many city dwellers would drive to the countryside to play, and it also inspired other families.

Moon Village has the potential to become the next backyard for city dwellers.

Even the road surface has been cleaned up a lot, it is all paved with bluestone slabs, which has a kind of elegance.

Originally, these people came to the countryside to see Cheng Han and Qiao Xi for medical treatment, but now it seems like they are here for tourism. They all found that the environment in the countryside is more suitable for recuperation, so within a few months, there were many outsiders walking around the village every day.

They seemed to have never seen the world before and found everything strange.

Even the vegetables picked in the vegetable fields are very fresh, and it would be even more exciting if we could go into the mountains to pick mushrooms. The villagers were a little nervous at first, fearing that these expensive city people would be picky. But they knew that the cars these people drove were very expensive, and sometimes they could tell from their conversations that some of them were also wealthy in the city.

But after getting used to it, they would sometimes laugh at these city people in a good-natured way.

Who made them unable to distinguish between leeks and wheat seedlings?

Aunt Chunhua relied on her keen sense of smell and decisively opened a farm stay when city dwellers went to the countryside to seek medical treatment. She contracted a lot of land for projects. City dwellers love fishing and eating this kind of pollution-free fish. They also like to appreciate lotus flowers and pick lotus buds.

The remaining fish and lotus roots can still be sold.

How nice!

After Aunt Chunhua earned her first pot of gold, she built a big house.

The speed of building houses in the village is very fast. If everyone is given enough money and works hard, it can be done in two months.

Today is the first day the new house was completed, so she invited all the villagers to a banquet.

Qiao Xi was enthusiastically invited every day for three days before the banquet, and was told that she must go.

She couldn't refuse.

Look, Old Chen has brought it up again.

"Send a pair of vases, wishing peace and safety. Also give a red envelope. Ask around and find out how much they're prepared to give. We can't stand out too much." Qiao Xi said after careful consideration.

"Okay, I'll make the arrangements. I won't be back at noon, Aunt Chunhua asked me to help entertain the guests. Madam and Master must come early, I'll save a seat for you."

That’s right!

There are no fixed seats at the banquet in the village.

Once you sit down at the big round table, you will have your own seat. Sometimes you will sit with people you don't know. But after a meal, everyone will get to know each other. There will even be blind dates at the table. You have an unmarried son and I have a single niece. With this arrangement, the blind date between the two young people is set.

Qiao Xi really likes these worldly things.

Lao Chen also enjoyed it.

On the contrary...

With the medical book in her hand, Qiao Xi turned around to look at Huo Xingzhou who was sitting at the simple desk and laughed secretly.

I don't know whose door the wooden table was taken from. After a little preparation and a vase of wild flowers, it looks quite interesting. When Huo Xingzhou sat there, he looked even more noble.

"What are you laughing at?"

The man didn't turn around and spoke in a low voice.

"Nothing, I'm just happy to take you to dinner again."

Huo Xingzhou thrived in the fame and fortune world of Haicheng, but he seemed out of place at a banquet in the countryside. He was not down-to-earth enough and was not as popular as Lao Chen. Every time there was a banquet, many people did not dare to sit next to him, so there were always a few empty seats at the table where he sat.

The dignified Mr. Huo was treated coldly in the countryside.

"You want to see me laugh, right?" Huo Xingzhou said softly. He frowned slightly and looked at the stuttering screen on the computer. He directly sent a message to Zhou Yu, asking him to host the meeting next.

So I turned off the computer.

Qiao Xi walked over to take a look and said, "The network is down again?"

"Um."

"Do we really not need to pull a new network cable? It's always lagging during meetings. Won't it affect our work?"

"Zhou Yu is doing the work. Tianyuan Group will not go bankrupt without me in a few days, don't worry."

"But……"

Qiao Xi pursed her lips, "Are you really not avoiding work?"

Sometimes, Huo Xingzhou was clearly connected to the Internet and told Zhou Yu seriously that the network was lagging. Then he turned off his computer and muted his phone, and those people couldn't find him.

This man was originally a workaholic.

Now, everything has changed.

Huo Xingzhou hugged her waist and put his head on her round belly.

He could hear the gurgling of water and the occasional kick from the baby on the side of his face.

"The child is kicking me again." Qiao Xi said.

Huo Xingzhou's eyes were gentle: "I feel it, it's 35 weeks."

Time flies by so fast in the blink of an eye.

The leisurely days in the countryside passed by one after another, as if nothing had been left behind. Without worries, time naturally passed quickly.

During this time, they only went back to the city when they needed to have a prenatal checkup, without telling anyone, and returned secretly after the checkup. Cheng Han would also check her pulse from time to time, and Qiao Xi had a much easier time in the late pregnancy than other pregnant women.

Apart from occasional backache and getting up at night, there are no other problems.

But this belly that is carrying twins is indeed big.

Sometimes, Huo Xingzhou felt a little scared when he saw it.

"Wife, let's go back to Haicheng next week. We're going to be hospitalized in advance to prepare for delivery. This place is too far away, and I'm a little scared."

He is awesome again.

It’s also my first time being a father.

Qiao Xi nodded and said, "Okay."
