The traffic was very congested. Although it was not far, the journey took more than two hours. The congestion was mainly in the first half, while the second half was much smoother.
The end of the journey was a farmhouse located in the mountains. There was a plaque on the door engraved with "Fangyuan Taoshe". As soon as the car stopped, a young man who looked like a waiter came out, greeted the family, and helped carry their things.
Xu Yanfeng took off his sunglasses and hung them on his pocket, took Xia Xi's hand, stepped over the old-fashioned threshold and walked in.
Ziheng followed with his small schoolbag on his back.
What comes into view is a spacious yard. The land is paved with green checkered bricks and many kinds of flowers and plants are planted. Several cats with different fur colors are basking in the sun in the yard, lazily turning over their bellies. When they see strangers coming, they are not afraid to hide.
A tall, handsome man hurried out from the east wing: "I was talking to someone. I didn't know you were here. I'm sorry for not coming to greet you."
Xu Yanfeng smiled, indicating that he didn't care. He shook hands with the other party and turned to introduce Xia Xi: "The boss here, Lao Fang."
Xia Xi nodded: "Hello, Mr. Fang."
"Hello, hello." The boss grinned at Xia Xi and looked at Xu Yanfeng, "Needless to say, this must be your wife."
Finally, he looked at Ziheng, his eyes widening. "No, Xu Er, your child is already this big?! I thought I was just far away from the city center, not to the point of living in seclusion, so why…"
Xu Yanfeng was too lazy to explain: "We'll talk about it later."
The boss rubbed the back of his head and said, "Look at me. You must be tired after driving here. The room is ready. Let Xiao Liao take you there." He instructed the young man, "Xiao Liao, be quick and treat us well."
Although I didn't know that Xu Yanfeng brought the child here, the best suite here was prepared for him. There was a small living room at the entrance, with a tea room attached. There were three rooms inside, one large and two small, and a large balcony.
Xu Yanfeng pointed to one of the small rooms and said, "Ziheng will live in that one, and we'll live in the big one."
Xia Xi looked at Ziheng and asked for his opinion.
He had no objection, took the small schoolbag off his shoulder and went into his room.
Xia Xi walked onto the balcony and immediately smelled the fresh fragrance of flowers and plants, mixed with the aroma of fruit. Looking around, she realized how beautiful the scenery was. The mountains opposite were lush and green, with fruit trees stretching out, and free-range chickens running around in the woods. Further away was a reservoir, and the water surface was like a mirror in the sun.
Xia Xi couldn't help but lean on the railing, holding her face with her hands, unwilling to look away.
Xu Yanfeng unscrewed a bottle of water and gave it to her. She took it and took two sips: "Are you familiar with the boss?"
Xu Yanfeng: "Well, my friend, his family is quite well-off. After a few years of family infighting, he suddenly got tired of it and ran here to escape the depression. He is no longer depressed and his mental state has improved."
He said "pretty good", which meant that he came from a wealthy family like Tang Yizhou and the others. Xia Xi thought back to the man she saw when she entered the house and smiled inexplicably: "He does look good."
Xu Yanfeng leaned against the railing and looked at her, his eyes slightly raised: "So I brought you here to relax." He pointed to the reservoir in the distance, "See it? I'll take you fishing there tomorrow."
"Huh? I don't know how to fish."
"Why can't you fish?" Xu Yanfeng smiled, emphasizing each word with an extremely slow tone, "You fished for me back then, weren't you quite skilled at it?"
Xia Xi: “…”
Damn it, it’s bad enough that he bullied Ziheng, but why did he bully her too?
