“Is this the largest department store?”
Wen Maiya looked at Chen Feng in surprise. "No way! What a remote county town they've come to!" He heard they were going to the countryside later. "Isn't that backward?"
Wen Maidong was also shocked, but he didn't show it so obviously. Obviously, he had a rough idea of what they would encounter later.
Moving from a big city to a small town brought different feelings and perspectives. He was just like his grandfather: even though he'd thought it through and prepared himself, he still felt a little nagging about the difference. Starting over, he thought things would be different.
"You come from big cities, so naturally you look down on small places like this."
Shen Feng looked at the two people beside him sarcastically. If they couldn't stand it, then they would probably be even more unbearable if they lived in the village in the future. The village didn't have electricity, and it wasn't as good as they imagined.
A rural area is still a rural area, no matter how it changes, it can never become like a county town. Their village has no electricity, no lights, no traffic, only farm work and wild game from the mountains.
"Now that I'm here, I'll naturally adapt slowly." Wen Maidong responded calmly to Shen Feng's provocation.
He's ready and will slowly adapt. Just because he can't accept it now doesn't mean he won't be able to accept it later. Standing still isn't his style, nor is it the attitude he wants to convey.
"snort……"
Shen Feng walked into the department store. He didn't want to waste time on these two people. It was obvious that they were not of the same kind and their personalities were incompatible, so Shen Feng had no intention of continuing the conversation.
"Brother..." Wen Maiya couldn't help but look at her brother coquettishly. She didn't like it here and wanted to go home.
"Let's go! We can only follow grandpa." Wen Maidong touched his sister's head soothingly and looked at her seriously.
"All right……"
Wen Maiya lowered her head. Although she was not particularly willing, she could not change her brother and grandfather's opinions. She knew that her brother and grandfather must be in trouble, otherwise they would not have rushed here in such a hurry.
"My sister needs to take back the embroidery thread, fabric, and daily necessities she uses, as well as the list given by the villagers."
Chen Feng carefully selected the items he needed to buy, and Wen Maidong and Wen Maiya followed suit. They also needed to bring some daily necessities back to the village. They had come here in a hurry and hadn't prepared anything. Fortunately, they were not broke, otherwise the people at the department store would have rolled their eyes at them.
"I've already picked out my things. How's yours? Are you ready now?"
"We've got it done too."
Wen Maidong was also helpless as he saw all the bags. He hadn't planned to buy so much, but seeing how much Chen Feng had bought, he and his sister really needed some daily necessities. Since Grandpa had already agreed with them, they would probably stay in Xiashan Village for the next few years.
"Wait a minute, I'll go to the guesthouse and ask Dad to come over and help. We definitely can't get it back."
"Okay, then my sister and I will wait for you here."
Wen Maidong held his sister's hand and looked at Shen Feng seriously.
"Um……"
Chen Feng put down the several bags of various sizes that had been packed in his hands and ran out of the sight of the Wen brothers and sisters like the wind.
"Okay, Uncle Wen, have you packed everything? Let's go now! We need to catch the bus to town and then take the donkey cart back to the village."
Shen Chenfeng had already informed everyone in advance about the situation in the village and the difficulties of the journey. The village was not like the town or the county seat. There were too many things that were not convenient to explain clearly so that people would have a clear idea of the situation.
"Yes, I know. I'm actually attracted by your village's lack of social interaction. The world is getting increasingly chaotic, and we don't know what it will become in the future. I hope your village won't be changed."
"Don't worry, although I can't guarantee the outside world, I can guarantee that our village will never be changed."
Chen Chenfeng smiled confidently. He could offer the Wen family protection, but they also needed to integrate into the village. Otherwise, no matter how many assurances he made, he wouldn't be able to satisfy everyone. He hoped Elder Wen would take the agreement seriously.
"Okay... let's go!"
Wen Xunqing would not give a definite answer. His fox-like smile avoided the trap set by Shen Chenfeng. He needed to confirm it again and take another look at the situation and the situation.
"I have to go to the post office later. All my medicinal herbs are there."
"It's okay, on the way."
Chen Chenfeng waved his hand. These were minor matters. As long as everyone was sure they were going to the village, it would be fine. With the old man of the Wen family in charge, at least everyone's health would be guaranteed. Even if the village lacked a doctor, it wouldn't be a problem. Small problems didn't need to be a concern, but major problems would require going to the hospital in a big city.
"Dad... we've already bought everything. Let's hurry over! My brother and sister are waiting at the entrance of the department store."
Chen Feng knocked on the door, panting. He looked at his father and Grandpa Wen, who were sorting out their things and started to urge him on. He had already bought everything, and these two people really weren't in a hurry at all. There was no other way. The Wen brothers and sisters were waiting at the department store entrance. It would be a waste if he got lost.
"Well, help Grandpa Wen carry his bag. We'll go downstairs to pay the bill and then we can go back."
Chen Chenfeng quickly carried the heaviest luggage on his shoulders, and signaled his son to help with a few small packages.
"No, no, no, I'll take these myself!" Wen Xunqing waved his hands. These were his treasures and he couldn't let others bump into them.
"Grandpa Wen, let me help carry these! Don't worry, I won't lose them."
Shen Feng snatched the slightly larger package from Wen Xunqing's hand. He felt embarrassed not to have something on hand.
"You kid...I can take these."
"Grandpa Wen, please let me get something! I'd feel awkward watching you carry things without anything in my hands!"
Chen Feng turned and headed forward to catch up with his father. He didn't want to be lagging behind. He wanted to go home to hug Niuniu and see his sister. The little sister of the Wen family wasn't as cute as his sister. She was ugly and troublesome.
"Shen family..."
Wen Xunqing watched the two of them leave, and he couldn't help but feel hopeful. Perhaps, in a different place, everything would be different, and things would develop for the better.
"I hope... everything will be fine."
After looking into the distance, Wen Xunqing's heart gradually relaxed.
