Chapter 104: Go to the capital to celebrate the New Year and stay with you forever

The next day, Jiang Tang didn't have time to call the capital, but Zhou's father and mother called first.

As soon as Jiang Tang picked up the phone, she heard Zhou An call her sister softly.

Little Tuanzi can now call sister clearly and speak fluently.

Jiang Tang smiled, "An An."

An An blinked her eyes and said softly, "Sister, An An misses you, please come home."

"You need to go home and play with An An."

After the kid finished speaking, Zhou's mother took the phone and said with a smile, "Tangtang, you don't have to listen to him. You and Qin Xiao can spend the New Year anywhere you want."

"We just want you to come back and live together, but it's okay if you don't come back."

Jiang Tang knew that her parents definitely wanted them to return to the capital to celebrate the New Year, and the little brat was just a cover.

She glanced at Qin Xiao and Qin Chuyang beside her and said loudly, "Mom, we have already planned to come back for the New Year."

"real!"

"My dear, are you really coming back to celebrate the New Year? Your room has been reserved for you. Chuyang is back and An'an is a little older now, so she can have company."

When Zhou's mother heard the news, she immediately changed the direction of her cautious questioning and started to chatter.

Jiang Tang smiled and whispered, "Yes, really."

"Mom, we plan to settle down in the capital next year and buy a house there."

"I'll have plenty of time to come back and see you later."

Zhou's mother was so happy that she didn't know what to say and could only respond repeatedly.

"Okay, okay, Mom will wait for you to come back."

Her daughter had finally returned, and Zhou's mother was so happy that she cried.

This is simply the best news I have heard in recent years.

Jiang Tang whispered, "Mom, you have to prepare a meal to welcome us when we come back."

There was nothing wrong with Zhou's mother at this moment.

"Don't worry, I'll ask your dad to take some time off and come home to help. You can come over without worry."

"I will definitely prepare a big table of your favorite food."

Jiang Tang laughed and talked to her mother for a while before hanging up the phone.

After hanging up the phone, he turned to look at Qin Xiao, "Mom and Dad are very happy that we can go back."

Qin Xiao nodded. He could hear the uncontrollable joy in the receiver.

Because they were going to visit Qin Xiao's father, after Jiang Tang hung up the phone, the family packed up their things and went to the market first to buy the things needed for the grave.

I went shopping again and bought more things than the last time I went there.

I brought home big and small bags and put them away, waiting to set off.

After packing up at home for several days, the family took advantage of the rare sunshine in winter and drove to Wuli Village.

After entering the village, he did not stop, but drove straight to the location of Qin Xiao's father's grave. When he arrived at the familiar intersection he had been to before, Qin Xiao parked the car at the intersection.

After getting off the car, he carried the backpack on his back, and Jiang Tang held Qin Chuyang's hand and walked behind Qin Xiao.

Little Heidan followed happily at the back, with all four legs standing together, barely following Jiang Tang.

The family walked through the dark forest and came to a place not far from Qin's father's tomb.

Before he walked over, Jiang Tang noticed Qin Xiao stopped and looked at him with some confusion.

As Qin Xiao's gaze fell on the thin woman not far away, she frowned.

Isn't that Li Shunqin? Why is she here? She came out and knelt in front of Qin Xiao's father's grave.

Jiang Tang glanced at Qin Xiao, took a step forward and held Qin Xiao's hand.

Qin Xiao tilted his head to look at the worried little girl beside him. He stroked Jiang Tang's fingertips with his rough fingertips and shook his head slightly to reassure her.

The family's movements quickly attracted Li Shunqin's attention in front of the tomb. She turned her head and saw Qin Xiao standing not far away, with a moment of panic and embarrassment in his eyes.

Qin Xiao held Jiang Tang's hand and walked to the tomb expressionlessly, his eyes cold, "What are you doing here?"

Li Shunqin lowered her eyes, her fingernails were covered with dirt, she fiddled with them helplessly, with regret and guilt in her eyes.

"I just came to see him. I didn't mean to bother you."

Qin Xiao frowned, "He doesn't need you to come here and disturb his peace."

Li Shunqin knelt on the ground, her eyes red and her voice choked with sobs, "Over the years, he has been the best to me. I just want to come and see him."

Qin Xiao took a deep breath and said, "Get lost!"

Li Shunqin seemed not to have heard anything. After she was released from the detention center, she had nothing. After thinking about it, she realized that this was the only place she could go. Because this person had always been good to her and had never blamed her, coming here made her feel a little comforted.

She knelt in front of Qin Xiao's father's grave and spoke to herself, "I don't know if you blame me or not. I'm sorry for you. I really regret it now. Let me stay here with you. I will take care of you and make amends for you when you go to the grave."

Qin Xiao frowned in disgust, "He doesn't need you to atone for his sins, so don't disturb his peace here."

Li Shunqin turned to look at her eldest son, then glanced at her youngest son who was glaring at her beside Jiang Tang, then knelt on the ground and spoke in a low voice.

"Qin Xiao, I'm sorry."

"At the time... I was just too scared. I was afraid that your father would become lame or die. How would we live after all that money was spent? I was too cowardly at the time."

"I...I'm really sorry to your father and you guys."

"Don't worry, I won't bother you anymore. Just let me stay here with him for a while and help him atone for his sins."

Qin Xiao closed his eyes, put the backpack on the ground, and stared at Li Shunqin who was kneeling on the ground, "I'll say it again, get out!"

Li Shunqin looked at the cruelty and indifference on her son's face and felt her heart turn cold. This was all her own fault and she couldn't blame anyone else.

She slowly got up from the ground, knelt down again with her weak legs, supported herself on the ground with her hands, stood up tremblingly, and walked out silently.

Jiang Tang stared at the lonely and thin figure without saying a word.

Qin Xiao had already taken out the sickle from the basket on his back and started cleaning the cemetery.

Jiang Tang let out a light breath and went forward to help Qin Xiao.

The family of three quickly cleaned up the somewhat desolate grave, revealing its original appearance. Jiang Tang took out all the prepared things from the basket on his back and spread them all in front of the tombstone, covering the entire area.

The tomb was filled with things I had bought, crowding the area in front of it.

Qin Xiao knelt on the ground and burned three incense sticks. Qin Chuyang also knelt on the ground obediently. Xiao Heidan lay beside Qin Chuyang to accompany him.

After lighting the candles and burning the incense, Qin Xiao took out the firecrackers from the basket on his back, placed them not far away and lit them. The sound of firecrackers popped, and the family of three knelt in front of the grave and bowed.

Qin Xiao stared at the tombstone until the sound of firecrackers stopped, and there was no sound.

"Dad, we have decided to settle in the capital, so we won't have much time to visit you in the future."

"You won't blame me, will you? You said before that you wanted to visit the capital if you had the chance. Now I'll go there for you."

Qin Chuyang stood beside him, his eyes red, "Dad, I will take care of my brother in the future, you have to take care of yourself."

"The woman just now came to see you and said she wanted to atone her sins."

"Dad, if you knew, don't even think about forgiving her."

"I won't allow it."

Qin Xiao knelt in front of the grave and talked for a long time. The little boy also knelt on the ground with his brother, his eyes were red and bulging, and he looked so pitiful.

Until the afternoon, the sun, which had finally come out for a day in the cold winter, slowly disappeared, and a cold wind blew, chilling me to the bone.

Jiang Tang raised his hand and tugged at Qin Xiao's sleeve, saying softly, "Qin Xiao, go home."

Qin Xiao looked deeply at the tombstone with his dark eyes, then stood up silently and said "hmm".

He picked up the backpack swiftly and walked out with Jiang Tang.

Jiang Tang's legs were numb from kneeling, so she carried the unconscious Qin Chuyang on her back and walked out. The little guy climbed on her back, and the family was getting farther and farther away from the lonely grave.

When they reached the intersection, Qin Xiao put the car in the trunk.

Jiang Tang carried Qin Chuyang into the back seat before sitting in it himself.

Qin Xiao sat in the driver's seat, the car started slowly, and slowly drove away from the intersection and headed back along the road they came from.

Qin Xiao drove all the way to the village and stopped at the door of the old house. No one in the family got out of the car. Their eyes were fixed on the old courtyard. The door bolt was covered with dust.

After Wenjuan became pregnant, and Aunt Guimei no longer had the energy, the small workshop at home was closed, and all the products were sold to the previous owner. The business is no longer in operation.

There was no one in the yard now. The family took a last look before driving away.

All the way back home.

After arriving home, Jiang Tang carried the already asleep Qin Chuyang out of the car. It was already dark, so she carried Qin Chuyang directly to the second floor and let the little guy sleep on the bed. Then she shook her sore arms and walked down the stairs.

In the kitchen, the man lit a fire and was about to cook.

Jiang Tang sat on the bench, looked up at Qin Xiao, and said softly, "Qin Xiao, don't be so troublesome, let's have noodles tonight."

She had no energy to do anything complicated now. She just wanted to have a good rest after dinner.

Qin Xiao nodded, "Yeah."

Jiang Tang fiddled with the fire intermittently, and after a moment of silence, he spoke, "Why did Li Shunqin go to your father's grave?"

Qin Xiao paused for a moment and sneered, "I guess he has a guilty conscience, or maybe he feels that he has committed too many sins and is afraid of going to hell, so he wants to make amends in advance."

"Oh, to make amends for a dead man."

The man's voice was mocking, and he just thought it was ridiculous. However, Jiang Tang could see that he was in a bad mood, so he said softly, "No matter what she thinks, it has nothing to do with us. We will not care about her in the future."

Qin Xiao looked at the little girl's soft and tender face and hummed.

He walked forward and touched the little girl's face, "Well, leave her alone."

"No matter how much she repents, my father won't hear her. If she keeps repenting like this for the rest of her life, no one will care about her."

Jiang Tang rubbed the man's rough palm obediently with her cheek, looked at Qin Xiao with her dark eyes, and said in a soft voice, "So can you be happier?"

"No matter how unhappy you are, you will become an old man. Wrinkled eyebrows do not look good at all."

Qin Xiao's expression paused slightly, looking at the little girl's eyes full of expectation, he stroked his wife's face with his hand, leaned over and kissed her, and said in a hoarse voice.

"good."

"I'm happy to hear your words."

Jiang Tang's eyebrows curved, her fingertips rubbed the man's hand on her face, and she chuckled and said, "This is the right way."

A smile appeared in Qin Xiao's dark eyes. In the evening, the couple ate a bowl of noodles and made some dog food for Heidan.

Jiang Tang lay on the bed and whispered, "There's not much time left. We have to rush to the capital before the New Year."

She looked at Qin Xiao and asked, "Do Lei Zi and He Tian plan to settle there?"

Qin Xiao said calmly, "We'll go up first, and they'll follow. Once we've settled everything here, we'll meet up there sooner or later."

Jiang Tang nodded, "That's good."

"When Chuyang goes to school next year, it would be a good opportunity for him to study there."

Qin Xiao hummed, turned on the light and got into bed.

Jiang Tang blinked, leaned over and said softly, "Please come to my house for a gathering before you leave, otherwise it will become increasingly difficult in the future."

"Guo Hui will definitely stay here. He still has to work, and Sister-in-law Lu Fang can't go to the capital. If we don't get together again, there will be no chance in the future."

Qin Xiao raised his hand and hugged his aunt into his arms, and whispered, "I know, I will tell them."

Jiang Tang yawned softly, turned over in Qin Xiao's arms, buried his head in Qin Xiao's arms, found a comfortable position, and clung to Qin Xiao like an octopus. He responded vaguely, "It's good that you know."

Qin Xiao held the little girl tightly in his arms, his throat rolling, his thin lips gently touching the little girl's hair, his voice hoarse, "Don't think about it, go to sleep."

Jiang Tang yawned loudly, tears welled up in his eyes. He responded vaguely, closed his eyes and quickly fell asleep.

Qin Xiao put his hands on the little girl, felt her even breathing, and slowly fell asleep.

Having decided to go to the capital, Jiang Tang cleaned up the house inside and out. After that, she went to Wenjuan's house and called Wenjuan over.

Looking at the potted plants in the yard, they are a bit bare in the winter, but there are still many left and they will definitely look good next year.

Jiang Tang pointed at the potted plants in the yard and looked at Wen Juan.

"Juan'er, which ones do you like? Ask Hetian to come over and help you move them back."

Wenjuan was a little embarrassed to take it, so Jiang Tang shook her hand.

"Juan'er, hurry up and choose. When Sister Lu Fang comes in two days, I'll let her take the ones you didn't choose back home. The yard in the village is big enough to hold them all."

"If all else fails, let Leizi take it to the factory dormitory. I'm sure it will be useful."

After she said that, Wenjuan didn't hesitate to pick out a few pots that she liked and asked Zhang Hetian to move them back to her home.

Jiang Tang packed up all the things that could be taken away, and found ways to give away the things that could not be taken away.

In the evening, just after finishing dinner, Qin Xiao said in a deep voice, "Let them come over for dinner the day after tomorrow."

Jiang Tang nodded, "Okay, let's go to the market tomorrow to buy some things."

Qin Xiao nodded, "Yeah."

Jiang Tang held his chin and said softly, "As for the things in the house that cannot be taken away, I will ask Sister-in-law Lu Fang to take away everything that can be taken away later."

“And the TV at home.”

Jiang Tang looked up at Qin Xiao and said loudly, "I want to keep this TV and install it in the staff dormitory next year, so that everyone can have something to entertain themselves in their free time."

Qin Xiao did not disagree with her decision. How could the little girl have such ideas? Qin Xiao nodded, "Yes."

Let Lei Zi move his things to the dormitory next year.

Jiang Tang nodded, "Everything that can't be taken away from home, as long as Lei Zi can use it, can be taken away."

"Um."

Jiang Tang blinked, looked at the man who seemed to have no opinion, and wrinkled her nose, "Why do you say umm about everything?"

Qin Xiao looked at the little girl with gentle eyes and said "hmm".

…

The next morning, the family of three went to the market. Jiang Tang first went to the pork stall to buy the best pork belly, and then picked up a big fat chicken. Finally, he treated everyone to a meal. Of course, the more sumptuous the better.

She bought a basket of fresh ingredients, and the family went home after they had finished shopping.

Qin Xiao put the old hen he had bought in the yard and planned to slaughter it the next day.

Jiang Tang put all the ingredients in the refrigerator to keep them fresh.

After packing up, he looked at the refrigerator and said, "Leizi can move this refrigerator to the factory area and put it in his office or dormitory. The refrigerator won't be wasted."

Qin Xiao nodded, "Okay."

Basically everything in the house has been packed out.

Because they had agreed to treat guests the next day, Jiang Tang and Qin Xiao went to bed early, and the couple got up early the next morning.

After Qin Xiao washed up, he went to the kitchen to light the fire and boil some water.

Jiang Tang opened the refrigerator, but before he could do anything, he heard a knock on the door outside the yard. Jiang Tang was a little surprised. It was really too early.

She walked quickly out of the kitchen, went to the door and opened it. There was a group of people outside, all with smiles on their faces.

"Sister-in-law, let us help." Wang Qile grinned.

A group of people arrived, Jiang Tang opened the door for them helplessly, and whispered, "Why are you here so early?"

Lu Fang smiled and said, "You will definitely be busy today, so of course you have to come and help."

Wenjuan also smiled and nodded.

Lian Mingming also came.

As soon as he entered the yard, he asked Qin Chuyang to take him to watch TV. Qin Chuyang was happy to entertain his little friend.

The others swarmed into the kitchen, ready to get to work.

Jiang Tang sighed and assigned the tasks in an orderly manner.

Qin Xiao and Wang Qilei went to slaughter the chicken, Liu Guohui was in charge of lighting the fire, Wen Juan and sister-in-law Lu Fang helped her, and Aunt Gui Mei was always there to clean up the dishes.

After the tasks were assigned, everyone started to work, and the two stoves in the house were burning hot.

After finishing processing most of the ingredients, Jiang Tang sighed.

"Why are you here so early?"

Wen Juan smiled and said, "We can't eat for free."

She looked at the rich ingredients in the room and whispered, "I know that you will definitely show off your skills today and prepare a table full of the most sumptuous dishes. It must be very tiring. There is no way I can leave you and Brother Xiao to be busy."

Jiang Tang shook his head helplessly, "Yeah, if you guys hadn't come, I probably wouldn't have been able to finish the work."

There is so much to do.

Jiang Tang looked at sister-in-law Lu Fang beside him and said with a smile, "Sister-in-law, feel free to look around the house today. Remember to take anything you like out of the house."

She raised her chin towards the yard and said, "Sister-in-law, whatever you like in the yard, move it to your house. The yard is big enough to plant everything."

Lu Fang smiled and nodded, "Okay, I will definitely choose carefully."

They can take away the ones they choose, and if they can't choose, Wang Qilei can take them to the factory.

The group was busy, and the meal that was supposed to be eaten in the evening was ready at four in the afternoon.

Zhang Hetian and Wang Qilei brought dishes to the table one by one. They were all fragrant dishes that made people salivate.

Jiang Tang also bought some light fruit wine so that they could drink it to warm themselves up.

A table full of sumptuous dishes was served.

Qin Xiao shoveled a pot of charcoal fire and placed it under the table so that it wouldn't get cold, and then a group of people sat down.

His face was filled with excitement and reluctance.

They all raised their glasses at the same time and drank together happily.

Wang Qilei said with a smile, "Brother Xiao, sister-in-law, you two should go to the capital to check out the situation first. Brother Hetian and I will come to you after we have arranged the work in the factory."

Liu Guohui next to him sighed, "In the future, you will all go to the capital, and I will be the only one left at home."

Wang Qilei said carelessly, "If you are willing to give up your job, then you can go to the capital. It's not like I can't support you."

Liu Guohui smiled and shook his head, "Forget it, I have a good job, why should I leave? My family is fine too."

Lu Fang also smiled and nodded, "I've lived at home for so many years, I've gotten used to it, I may not be able to get used to living in the capital."

"Tangtang, if you don't feel comfortable staying here, come back anytime."

Jiang Tang nodded with a smile, "Don't worry, sister-in-law, we know."

"It's like a dream, sister-in-law."

Wang Qilei looked at Jiang Tang, "Sister-in-law, I'll toast you a cup, just drink your tea."

Jiang Tang chuckled and shook his head, picked up the fruit wine in his hand and clinked glasses with Wang Qilei.

Qin Xiao stared at the little girl's slightly red cheeks with his dark eyes, and raised his hand to cover the cup in the little girl's hand.

He said loudly, "Let's eat first."

There was a table full of delicious dishes, which made people dizzy. Qin Xiao added a piece of braised pork to the little girl's bowl.

Jiang Tang tilted his head and looked at him.

She also reciprocated by picking up some food for the man and also picked up a piece of meat for the kid next to her.

During the meal, Qin Xiao and his brothers ate and drank, and the atmosphere at the table became more and more lively.

Wen Juan raised her hand and squeezed Jiang Tang's wrist, and said softly, "Sister-in-law, if you go to the capital, remember to call me at any time."

Jiang Tang smiled and nodded, "Don't worry, I will."

Wen Juan's mouth twitched a little, "I can't bear to leave you, sister-in-law."

Jiang Tang was so kind to her, and she didn't have the chance to repay him before they were leaving.

Jiang Tang raised his hand and patted Wen Juan's hand, and said softly, "If I don't call you, you call me every day, it will be the same."

Wen Juan was a little embarrassed, "I'm afraid you will dislike me when the time comes."

Jiang Tang thought it was a joke, "No."

Wen Juan looked at Jiang Tang, then turned her head to glance at Qin Xiao who was beside Jiang Tang, and said softly, "Sister-in-law, you and Brother Xiao are really amazing."

She really admired them for being able to get to where they are today step by step and for making their Wuli County what it is now. Few people in the county town go out to work in Pengcheng or better developed places. The factory area is getting bigger and bigger, and their Wuli County has been developing visibly better in the past two years.

Jiang Tang shook his head, "There are also Hetian and the others."

At first, she had never thought that this day would come. She was just doing it to accompany Qin Xiao. Now that it can happen, she is very happy.

After the group finished their meal, they all felt a little shaky.

It was already dark, and Wenjuan and Zhang Hetian were going home. Since they were close, Jiang Tang didn't stop them.

As for Lu Fang and the others, Jiang Tang still kept them at home to sleep for one night and let them go the next day.

Several people drank a little too much, and the dining table was a mess. Jiang Tang didn't ask anyone to clean it up, and she didn't have the interest to do it. She decided to wait until the next day after she had a good rest to deal with it.

It was already very late when Jiang Tang finished arranging things for Sister-in-law Lu Fang and the others. He breathed a sigh of relief and turned around to see the man half lying on the sofa.

She let out a low breath, walked forward, raised her arms to hug Qin Xiao's waist, and led him to the second floor.

Qin Xiao rubbed his head against Jiang Tang's neck, sniffed gently, and said in a hoarse voice, "Wife."

Jiang Tang paused slightly, her ears turned completely red, and her neck felt numb from the hot air. She put the man on the bed with great effort before she breathed a sigh of relief.

Qin Xiao lay on the bed with his eyes closed, his hands on his eyelids, motionless.

Jiang Tang breathed a sigh of relief, walked forward, bent down, and helped Qin Xiao unbutton his clothes. Her hand touched the man's collar and accidentally touched his warm skin.

The next moment, she felt weightless and fell upside down. Jiang Tang was pressed down by the man, her back against the bed. She looked up at the man in front of her who had opened his eyes at some point.

She swallowed and said softly, "Qin Xiao, take off your clothes. It's already late. It's time to go to bed."

Qin Xiao blinked, reacted slowly to the little girl's words, and then began to take off his clothes.

Jiang Tang was stunned for a moment, then coughed softly, "Qin Xiao, get off me first, I want to sleep too."

Qin Xiao lowered his eyes and stared at the little girl, then quickly undressed himself, bent down, hugged Jiang Tang and fell asleep.

Jiang Tang sighed, staring at the man lying on top of her with his eyes closed. She poked Qin Xiao's face with her finger and said softly, "Did you hear that? Qin Xiao."

The man didn't move.

Jiang Tang's hands were paralyzed on the bed, and he sighed, "Qin Xiao, I'm so tired."

The man with his eyes closed quickly turned over and lay next to Jiang Tang, then quickly held her in his arms.

Jiang Tang wrinkled her nose, pinched Qin Xiao's ears in an accusing manner, twisted and pulled.

"Bad guy."

After they finished, Jiang Tang took off her coat and let Qin Xiao hold her in his arms like a plush toy. She yawned softly and fell asleep in the man's arms.

When Jiang Tang woke up early the next morning, he looked up and saw the man's broad chest. He blinked. This was not the point. The point was that Qin Xiao was not wearing any clothes in the middle of winter.

She quickly raised her hand and touched Qin Xiao's forehead. She felt the warmth of her fingertips and breathed a sigh of relief.

fortunately.

Qin Xiao opened his eyes, and everything in his vision was completely clear. He lowered his eyes and saw the relieved expressions on the faces of his aunt's family.

Jiang Tang raised her eyes and saw that the man had woken up. She immediately and rudely pinched Qin Xiao's face, pinching him angrily.

"Qin Xiao! You fell asleep without any clothes on! Feel yourself to see if you have a cold."

Qin Xiao obediently raised his hand and touched his face, shook his head slightly, and said in a hoarse voice, "It's okay."

Jiang Tang glared at him and said, "Get up quickly, there are guests at home."

Qin Xiao immediately turned over and got up, as if he didn't feel cold. Jiang Tang saw him standing by the bed and putting on his clothes, so he snuggled in the quilt to warm up the clothes he was about to wear, and then put them on reluctantly.

The couple pushed the door open and went downstairs together. The adults downstairs had not gotten up yet. The two children, Liu Jieming and Qin Chuyang, were sitting on the sofa watching TV with great interest.

As soon as they saw Jiang Tang and Qin Xiao coming down the stairs, the two guys immediately greeted them.

After Qin Xiao and Jiang Tang finished washing up, Qin Xiao filled a bowl of water and brought it to the stove to heat it.

Jiang Tang just started to deal with the mess from last night.

Before they started washing the dishes, Wang Qilei and Liu Guohui had already gotten up. They quickly pushed Jiang Tang out of the kitchen, and the three brothers took up space in the kitchen. After the water was boiled, they started washing the dishes.

Jiang Tang clapped his hands and took Lu Fang to choose the things she liked in the house.

"Sister-in-law, you can go back at noon. I will ask Qin Xiao to contact Master Xiaoche to move all these potted plants back."

Lu Fang nodded.

After the three brothers cleaned the kitchen and warmed up the leftovers from last night, Jiang Tang called Lu Fang and the two children to eat.

I managed to clean up most of the leftover food in the morning.

Jiang Tang asked Qin Xiao to contact the owner of the truck, pick out all the potted plants, and move them directly onto the truck after people arrived.

After moving, Jiang Tang and Qin Xiao saw them off.

Liu Guohui and Lu Fang looked at Jiang Tang and Qin Xiao with reluctance on their faces, and left without saying anything.

After returning home, the originally lively and noisy atmosphere suddenly became quiet. Jiang Tang sighed, sat on the sofa, and watched Qin Xiao sit over. She tilted her head and leaned on Qin Xiao's shoulder.

"I've told everyone we'll leave on a certain day."

Qin Xiao put his arm around the little girl's shoulders and said softly, "The day after tomorrow, there's not much time left. The Chinese New Year will be here in a few days."

Jiang Tang nodded, "Yeah."

She turned her head, rested her chin on Qin Xiao's shoulder, and said softly, "Last time we took the train, this time we will take the train or drive."

Qin Xiao leaned his head to the side and leaned on the little girl's head. "I'll drive."

He turned to look at Jiang Tang, leaned over and kissed the little girl's soft lips, "Thank you for your hard work for two days."

Jiang Tang pursed her lips, "I'm not tired. Ask Chu Yang whether he wants to take the train or your car."

Qin Xiao nodded.

Qin Chuyang, who was standing next to him, tilted his head and looked at his brother and sister-in-law, blinking his big eyes, "I want my brother to drive."

He wanted his brother to drive him wherever he wanted.

Jiang Tang sighed and looked at the boy, "Chuyang, it's very cold sitting in the car, are you afraid?"

Qin Chuyang shook his head, "I'm not afraid!"

He looked at Jiang Tang, "Sister-in-law, Chuyang can just wear more."

Jiang Tang was helpless. He raised his hand and pinched Qin Xiao's face, and compromised, "Okay, then drive back. If you catch a cold, I won't be the one to take medicine."

Qin Xiao looked at the little girl, a smile welling up in his dark eyes, and he hummed in a hoarse voice, "Blame me."

Jiang Tang came over and bumped his head against Qin Xiao's forehead, "It's all your fault!"

Since they had decided to drive their own car back to the capital, Jiang Tang asked Qin Xiao to start packing and put everything that could be loaded into the trunk, which was already full.

The house suddenly felt much emptier.

Time passed quickly, and two days went by in a flash. On the day of departure, Jiang Tang and Qin Xiao got up early. When they opened the window, they found that there was a rare ray of sunlight today. Although it was still very cold, at least the usually damp road was not that wet anymore.

Qin Xiao made up the bed and sealed it with a plastic bag, then the couple left the bedroom and locked the door.

After going out, Qin Xiao went to wake up the kid, and Jiang Tang went downstairs to wash up.

The family quickly finished breakfast, Qin Xiao got in the car, and Jiang Tang opened the yard door.

It seemed as if the little black egg was afraid of being abandoned by its owner. It kept shaking its little body and stuck close to Qin Chuyang. It was not until Qin Chuyang held it in his arms that the little black egg felt at ease. It stopped wagging its tail and nestled comfortably in its little owner's arms and moved with his owner.

Jiang Tang opened the gate to the yard and Wen Juan and the others were already waiting at the door.

Jiang Tang's eyes softened and he felt sad. He walked forward and hugged Wen Juan and Sister-in-law Lu Fang.

"Sister-in-law, remember to think of me when you go to the capital. You must call me when you get there."

Jiang Tang nodded sullenly, "Yeah."

Lu Fang felt very sad, "We will have less time to go to the capital in the future."

"Come back and have a look when you have time."

Jiang Tang agreed to all of his requests and held her for a long time before letting her go.

Wang Qilei looked at Qin Xiao with red eyes, "Brother Xiao, I will definitely bring my mother to the capital in the future."

Qin Xiao raised his hand and patted his shoulder.

Zhang Hetian stepped forward and hugged Qin Xiao, and Liu Guohui and Wang Qilei beside him also hugged him. The brothers hugged each other, and everything was said without words.

Qin Xiao raised his hand and patted a few people, and said in a deep voice, "Let's go."

It took several people to release him.

Qin Xiao turned around and was about to get in the car when he saw the hunched woman not far away, standing on the side of the road looking at Qin Xiao and Qin Chuyang.

Qin Xiao's face turned cold.

Several other people also saw the woman at the intersection, and their expressions were not very good.

Wang Qilei frowned and was about to rush forward to chase the man away, but was held aside by Zhang Hetian and Liu Guohui.

Li Shunqin walked forward hesitantly. She knew that she was not welcome, so she just stood not far from Qin Xiao and spoke cautiously.

"I just heard that you were going to the capital."

"I'm not coming back... I came to see you, but I won't see you again."

Qin Xiao stared at her without saying anything. Li Shunqin's eyes were a little wet. "It is I, as a mother, who have let you and your brother down. Don't worry about your father's grave. I will be there to see to it. In the days ahead, I will treat it as a way of atonement for his sins."

"I won't bother him. I'll just clean up the grass around his grave. I won't disturb your good life anymore."

"Don't chase me away. Let me take one last look at you brothers."

Li Shunqin was filled with remorse. Her husband and children had been very good to her in the first half of her life. It was she who was cowardly, timid, stupid and bad.

Now that everything is gone, all she thinks about in her dreams at night are the days in the Qin family, but she is no longer worthy of them.

Qin Xiao stared at the hunchbacked woman and said coldly, "Put away that disgusting expression. It's bothering my eyes."

Li Shunqin immediately lowered her head.

Qin Xiao closed his eyes, looked down at Qin Chuyang beside him, and suppressed the coldness in his voice, "Qin Chuyang, do you want to talk to her?"

A glimmer of hope flashed in Li Shunqin's eyes.

Qin Chuyang frowned and shook his head, "No, brother, I won't talk to her."

Qin Xiao hummed, turned his head to look at the people at the door, and said in a low voice, "They left."

Wang Qilei and the others forced smiles on their faces and waved to Qin Xiao and Jiang Tang.

Jiang Tang sat in the passenger seat, and Qin Chuyang carried little Heidan to the back seat. The back seat had been tightly packed with thick quilts and blankets by Jiang Tang to prevent the little guy from getting cold as much as possible.

Jiang Tang waved out of the car window, took out the house key from his pocket and handed it to Wang Qilei.

"Leizi, find some time to move the TV at home to the factory, and come back occasionally to check on the yard."

Wang Qilei took the key, smiled and nodded, "Sister-in-law, don't worry, I will definitely take good care of it for you."

Jiang Tang smiled and retracted his head.

At this time, the car started slowly and drove from the yard gate to the driveway. When passing by Li Shunqin, no one looked at her.

Li Shunqin watched her eldest son's car drive away, and walked away step by step with a hunched back.

Wang Qile looked at the lonely figure, frowned, and thought of what she had done before. He snorted heavily, saying that people like her did not deserve sympathy.

The car gradually drove away from Wuli County, where he had stayed for a long time. Jiang Tang tilted his head and looked at Qin Xiao, and said softly, "Qin Xiao, are you reluctant to leave?"

Qin Xiao glanced at the little girl next to him and said in a deep voice, "I have already visited the places I am reluctant to leave."

Jiang Tang's eyes softened and he said "hmm".

Qin Chuyang was sitting in the back holding Heidan, his body still warm. He looked up at Jiang Tang, his voice soft and tender.

"Sister-in-law, Heidan was really scared just now."

Jiang Tang turned around to look at the little black egg who was lying comfortably in Qin Chuyang's arms with his eyes half closed.

Qin Chuyang frowned, "Heidan thought we weren't taking him with us, so he kept shaking and sticking to me."

When the little black egg heard what his master said, he hummed and closed his eyes, seeming a little embarrassed.

Jiang Tang chuckled, "We should say sorry to our Heidan."

The puppy was probably afraid of being left behind until they took it into the car at the very end.

Qin Chuyang held Heidan tightly and nodded his head, "It's really scared."

Xiao Heidan buried his head deeper.

Jiang Tang laughed.

He turned his head to look at Qin Xiao, "I don't think the weather will be good on the road this time. Qin Xiao, we won't rush. Let's find a place and stop to rest as soon as possible."

"Um."

Jiang Tang turned his head to look at the scenery passing by outside the car window, breathed a sigh of relief, and was about to leave.

She knew that Qin Xiao would definitely be reluctant to leave. Even she, who had not been here as long as Qin Xiao, felt reluctant to leave.

"Sugar."

The man spoke in a low voice, and Jiang Tang turned around to look at him.

"Compared to those trivial emotions, I look forward to being with you, no matter where you are."

He turned around and glanced at Jiang Tang, a faint smile appearing on his thin lips.

"Don't feel bad for me. Going to the capital is the best decision, especially being with you."

His voice was light, as if he was just talking about today's weather, but it was these light and seemingly insignificant words that hit Jiang Tang's heart hard, word by word.

The heat from Jiang Tang surged throughout her body, and the tips of her ears turned pink. She turned to look at the man's cold and hard features.

She said softly, "Qin Xiao, don't be distracted while driving."

Qin Xiao hummed, "No."

As soon as he finished speaking, he felt a warm touch on his face. His throat rolled and his hands gripping the steering wheel tightened.

Jiang Tang only kissed him and then quickly retreated, whispering, "Drive well."

"Don't talk nonsense"

Qin Xiao's knuckles, which had been a little cold, slowly began to feel warm, and he responded in a low, hoarse voice.

Qin Chuyang, who was sitting in the back row, wrinkled his nose, looked at the little black egg in front of him with his big eyes, and rubbed his head against the black egg, "Good boy, black egg, kiss."

Heidan glanced at his little master leisurely, rubbed his face, and answered him perfunctorily. Only after he got in the car did Heidan feel completely relieved. After answering his perfunctory questions to his little master, he leisurely closed his eyes again.

A small car drove across the bumpy roads of Wuli County, heading outward, leaving behind the scenery and cold winter passing by, heading north.
