Chapter 55

Leaving Xiaohe Town

As a few people chatted, time quickly came to 9 o'clock in the evening.

Fang Xin felt that the time was about up, so he stood up and said, "We can go now."

Hearing the sound, several people quickly stood up, picked up the things they had prepared long ago, and walked out one by one.

Grandma Li closed the door gently, feeling extremely reluctant.

There are so many memories here, and the two have walked through these 40 years hand in hand.

Everything in the past is still vivid in my mind, but now I have to leave.

She slowly turned around and saw Grandpa Li behind her, and smiled, "Let's go."

Grandpa Li held Grandma Li's hand tightly and said nothing, yet it seemed like he said a lot.

Fang Xin started the car and slowly drove away from the old house and the town where he had lived for a long time.

The car drove slowly forward on the snow, and the people in the car all looked in the direction of home.

They don't know if they will have the chance to come back in their lifetime.

Although their new home is not far from here, they are reluctant to leave.

No one wants to give up his old home unless he has to.

After all, I have lived here all my life and never thought about leaving.

The car drove slowly to the town entrance, and everyone's heart was beating in their throats. They were afraid that something might happen and a bunch of people would come out to block their way.

There was still a roadblock at the entrance to the town. Xiao Kai and Grandpa Li opened the car door and got out quickly. They pushed the roadblock aside swiftly and carefully checked whether there were any obstacles on the ground.

After clearing the roadblock, the two quickly returned to the car.

"Drive, drive." Grandpa Li spoke nervously before he even sat down firmly.

Fang Xin stepped on the accelerator and the car accelerated instantly.

Finally they were far away from the town, and they felt relieved.

Fang Xin calmly turned off the low beam and turned on the high beam headlights, and the vision in front of him suddenly became clear.

The heat in the car is slowly rising.

Fang Xin took off his thick coat and immediately felt much more relaxed.

Soon, several people also felt the warmth, and they took off their thick coats and hugged them on their thighs.

At the beginning, everyone was in good spirits, talking and laughing happily, but the occasional bumps in the car, coupled with the warmth inside the car, soon made everyone dizzy, and they all closed their eyes and fell asleep.

The dog was held in the arms of Grandma Li, who was sitting in the passenger seat. He was sleeping soundly with his little head tilted back.

After about three hours, we finally arrived at our destination.

The car slowly stopped. Fang Xin couldn't help but yawn and tilted his head to look at the people behind him. "It's time to wake up. We've arrived."

"We're glad we're here." Grandpa Li was the first to open his eyes, looked outside, and stretched his legs. "Put on your clothes before getting off the car, so you don't catch a cold."

A few people put on their clothes and got off the car, straightened their bodies and stretched their waists.

Grandpa Li looked around and said, "This is a nice place."

Old Man Wang smiled broadly, "Yes, we have found such a good place. It feels isolated from the world, but we feel at ease living here."

Several people followed Fang Xin into the house and used the key to open the renovated room.

The people blocking the door looked around the room.

The room was kept very clean, without a speck of dust, and had a luxurious big bed that looked very expensive.

Even the stove is set up.

Grandpa Li originally thought that he could just stay there for the first night, make a bed on the floor, and then get some wooden planks to make a bed the next day.

I didn’t expect Fang Xin to even get the big bed back.

Grandpa Li suddenly felt guilty and distressed, "Xinxin, you have suffered a lot.

Fang Xin waved his hand nonchalantly, "It's okay."

Fang Xin said as he walked into the house and lit the stove with quick movements.

The two elders were deeply moved, thinking back to when their relatives had laughed at them and called them fools for having money to support a stranger.

But now he feels that he has found a treasure. How could he be so lucky?

Without Fang Xin, the old couple would have died long ago, perhaps on the first day of hypothermia, or perhaps on the day of serious injury. It was Fang Xin who saved them time and time again.

Maybe even biological children can't do this!

Grandma Li saw all the dedication Fang Xin had given to her and felt warm in her heart. She was moved and distressed at the same time. The old couple watched Fang Xin grow up and knew how difficult it was for her. Growing up alone was as difficult as growing up with weeds.

Old man Wang walked around the house, looking here and touching there, with a smile on his face and feeling very happy. He didn't expect that the house here even had doors and windows. He thought he had to install the doors and windows himself.

By tomorrow he has built a room and can just put up a stove and live there.

Old man Wang sighed, "This room is so clean. The floor and walls look like they were painted. This child is really great. He is better than my own children. I am a little jealous of him."

Grandma Li rolled her eyes at him and said, "Xinxin is our biological child."

Old Man Wang was stunned for a moment, then immediately agreed, "Yes, yes, the elder sister is right, they are his biological children."

After chatting for a while, they started moving their belongings into the house.

Grandma Li first took out the bedding and spread it on the bed to get some cool air.

Grandpa Li said to Old Man Wang, "Let's squeeze into one bed today. I think this bed can accommodate people even if they lie sideways. It's quite big."

Old man Wang scratched his head in embarrassment: "We can just work as a shopkeeper."

"It's so cool sleeping on the floor. Let Xiao Kai sleep next to his grandmother Li, and you sleep next to me. But if you sleep sideways, you won't be able to stretch your legs. Let's just make do with it for one night, and you can clean up your rooms tomorrow."

"Okay, sorry to bother you then."

Fang Xin saw that everything was almost packed and prepared to go back.

"Grandpa and grandma, you should go to bed early. I'm going back now."

Grandpa Li guessed that Fang Xin should live here, so he called them here as well, "Xin Xin, where do you live?"

"Not too far from you, to the east."

"Then you should go back and have a rest. You have been exhausted these days."

Grandma Li, "Come over for breakfast tomorrow"

Fang Xin waved his hands, "No, I want to sleep longer tomorrow."

"Then I'll save the meal for you."

"No, grandma, don't worry about me. You can eat your own food and don't leave any for me."

Fang Xin took the dog back to his home quickly.

I haven't been home for several days and I miss home a lot.

It’s still more comfortable to stay at home.

"Tuntun, it's better to be at home."

"Woof."

The dog gave a perfunctory response, then ran to his snack refrigerator with his butt sticking up. He hadn't had any delicious snacks for several days and was completely rotten.

It took a big tomato out of the refrigerator, lay on the floor and started eating it.

Fang Xin ignored it and went to the kitchen to light the stove, then added some firewood into the kang and lit it.

I looked back at the dog. He had finished eating the big tomato and was now chewing a carrot.

It seems that her child is very hungry, and this guy doesn't dare to eat too much even at his parents' home.

"Don't eat too much, it's time to eat soon."

"Woof."

I took off my heavy clothes and changed into home clothes.

I walked into the bathroom and was about to turn on the faucet.

Suddenly thought of something.

She didn't build a sewer pipe, so the dirty water couldn't be drained out at all.

She had totally forgotten about it.

It’s a pity that the foundation and walls on the mountain were all built by her with great effort.

But it doesn’t matter, if you don’t have it, then just don’t use it.

It would be more troublesome to pour all the used dirty water into a bucket and then clean it up together.

As for the toilet and other things, just go into the space.

Take the basin, fill it with water, and add some hot water.

Wash your hands and face thoroughly.

Then the man and the dog filled their stomachs and fell asleep directly.

She hasn't had a good rest for several days, so she wants to sleep until she wakes up naturally tomorrow.
