As they were talking, the two of them arrived at Zhou's house. Chen Wenlian had just come back from buying groceries. When she heard that Xia Fei had come to get the key to the yard next door, which was for Xu Tong's two younger brothers to live in, she took out the key.
"It just so happens that I've planted a lot of vegetables in the yard, including radishes and cabbages. The four elderly people in your family will have enough vegetables to last them through the winter."
"Thank you, Aunt Chen. I'll have them send some to you once they're collected."
Xu Tong knew that the vegetable seeds were not worth much money, but the labor was valuable. He couldn't ask for money, as that would be too hurtful. They would still be neighbors in the future.
Chen Wenlian waved her hand. "No, no, I can't eat all the food I grow in my yard, so I give it away. I just think it's a shame to leave it unused. I usually have nothing to do, so now is the perfect time for your parents to take over."
Xu Tong took the key and said, "I'm sorry, I'll shamelessly take over these dishes."
"It's okay, it's okay. We won't be living here next year. Then I might be cheeky enough to come and ask for a couple of vegetables!"
"Ah? Where does Aunt Chen live?"
"The school! No, I heard they've rented another 10 mu of land behind the school gate to punish students. I'm going to ask Zhou if they can give me a small plot to grow crops. I'll pay rent for that! I always think the vegetables I grow are the most delicious."
"Aunt Chen," Xia Fei stopped Chen Wenlian as she was about to leave. "My sister-in-law and her family are out for a trip. Uncle Zhou is the principal, so he can make the decision on this matter. Punishing the students won't take up all ten acres of land, right? Or maybe he could give them half. Maybe some of those family members are like you, who love to grow their own vegetables. Anyway, you should ask Uncle Zhou. He absolutely has the right to do this."
Chen Wenlian was stunned. "Going out to play?"
"Yes."
"Oh! This girl has thrown everything to others. She went out to play by herself. When she comes back, I must give her a good talk."
Xia Fei smiled, "Okay, when she and the boss come back, I'll take Brother Xu to see the yard."
"Okay, go get busy!"
What Zhou Xiang wanted to go to the most was naturally the northwest, which was what her eldest brother often talked about. It happened that the population there was sparse and no one knew them. All her actions would avoid other people's attention, making it convenient for her to send her eldest brother and his son into the space.
The children were very excited, but they became bored after sitting for too long, so they went into the city to look for local food.
Every evening when checking in, after booking two rooms, one would be left empty because Zhou Xiang would take his eldest brother and his son to the space at night. Occasionally, the children would follow.
After hesitating for several days, they finally arrived in Xi'an. When seeing the Terracotta Warriors, Zhou Xiang repeatedly emphasized the appearance of the Terracotta Warriors and reminded the children not to look at them if they were afraid.
The children wouldn't agree. They were finally released and didn't want to miss any of the attractions or delicious food.
After seeing the Terracotta Warriors, the children were indeed a little frightened, so Zhou Xiang gave each of them a drink of medicine.
Zhou Yan was a little bolder, "Aunt, are those really real people?"
"Nonsense, who said that?"
"A tourist said it might be true, and also said the Qin Emperor was tyrannical."
Zhou Xiang pointed them out one by one, "You all look so depressed, is it because you heard this?"
All five children nodded.
"Humph! I just follow the crowd. We can only say that the ancients possessed wisdom beyond our imagination. They carved the clay into lifelike forms and their firing techniques were also very advanced.
Just think about it and you will understand. Even if the people being burned were willing, how could they keep their expressions unchanged while being burned by the flames? Don't tell me to use drugs. I don't have any drugs that can allow so many people to maintain different facial expressions and different body postures.
Therefore, I can only marvel at the wisdom of the ancients and sigh at the increasing ignorance of modern people."
After hearing what their mother (aunt) (auntie) said, the five children came to their senses.
"Yes, they are talking nonsense. They are just jealousy."
"Okay, next time, don't scare yourself. I already warned you in advance, and you still did this. I'm very disappointed."
The five children admitted their mistakes.
"Okay, go to bed! Have a good sleep and everything will be fine."
"OK."
"OK."
I finally arrived at Qinghai Lake in November. At this time in the beautiful Qinghai Lake, there was really nothing to see except the swans. The weather was too cold.
The whole family wrapped up tightly, standing on the yellow withered grass, just to see the not-so-spectacular flying birds?
Looking around, there is only this family of fools, because now is not the time when there are the most swans.
Zhou Xiang was shivering from the cold. How many years had it been since she had experienced such cold conditions?
Ling Ran felt sorry for his wife and asked everyone to evacuate.
The five children looked at the swans flying over the lake from time to time and were reluctant to leave.
"Mom (Aunt), can we get a swan and raise it?"
Zhou Xiang shook his head, "No."
Ling Ran also glared at them, "Don't do anything stupid, swans are state protected animals, private individuals are not allowed to raise them, but they will fly away."
The five children were dragged into the car by their father (brother-in-law) (uncle-in-law). They called back their eldest brother-in-law who was reluctant to leave. When the air conditioner in the car was turned on, Zhou Xiang felt alive again.
Looking at the five listless children, Zhou thought for a moment and said, "Tell your father, uncle, and uncle-in-law to find a way to get two black swans back."
The five children immediately became active and asked, "Is this really possible?"
Zhou Xiang nodded. "It should be possible. Raising black swans requires relevant procedures and a place to live. Our park is a relatively qualified place! However, black swans can fly, and every year we have to trim the long feathers on their wings to prevent them from flying."
