Lin Yuexi touched her daughter's head and said gently, "Yes, baby. When we get to the county town, we will have a new life. You and your brother will also meet many new friends and learn more knowledge. ..."
After several hours of bumpy ride, the tricycle finally arrived at the county town, and then passed through several alleys to the courtyard house that Lin Yuexi rented instead of bought.
The family of four had already visited the place once, so they were naturally familiar with the place.
Lu Cheng jumped off the tricycle first, turned around and carried the two children, Lu Xiyun and Lu Ziyan, off the car.
Lin Yuexi also got out of the car, took out the key and opened the gate of the courtyard.
Lu Ziyan and Lu Xiyun couldn't wait to jump and run towards the gate of the courtyard.
As soon as Lin Yuexi opened the lock, Lu Ziyan and Lu Xiyun pushed hard at the wooden door that exuded an ancient atmosphere.
Seeing this, Lin Yuexi also helped push it.
With a creaky sound, the door slowly opened and sunlight instantly poured in, illuminating the courtyard which was a little mottled but still full of charm.
Lu Ziyan and Lu Xiyun rushed into the yard like two happy little deer, and their clear laughter echoed in this small world.
Lin Yuexi looked at the children with a smile, her eyes full of doting.
She turned around and together with Lu Cheng, she carried the tricycle up to move the suitcases, and Zhao Gang also came to help.
Although Lu Cheng looked a little tired at this moment, the corners of his mouth rose unconsciously when he saw the happy faces of his wife and children.
"Let's move our things into the house first." Lin Yuexi said softly.
Lu Cheng nodded, picked up the largest bag, and strode into the main house.
The layout of the main room was still the same as before, with a slightly old square table, a few chairs, and a bed against the wall.
But the room had already been cleaned very cleanly the last time a family of four came over, and the sunlight coming through the window made the whole house seem particularly warm.
After Lu Ziyan and Lu Xiyun walked around the yard, they also ran in.
"Mom, where should my sister and I sleep?" Lu Ziyan asked, tilting his head back.
Lin Yuexi squatted down and said gently: "Baby, you two can sleep in the side bedroom first. Mommy has prepared it for you last time! When you are older, you can each have a bedroom, okay?"
As she spoke, she took the children to the next room.
There were two small beds in the room, covered with clean sheets. Lu Xiyun threw herself on her own small bed and said with a smile, "It's so soft, I like it so much."
Lu Ziyan was also walking around the room, checking the windows and cabinets, looking like a little adult.
Afterwards, Lu Ziyan and Lu Xiyun moved their luggage in, placed their clothes in the closet, and put the things they needed in their respective places.
After putting their luggage away, Zhao Gang was about to drive away on his tricycle. Lin Yuexi tried to persuade him to stay several times but to no avail. She said she would come back to visit them after they were settled, so the couple had to give up.
After Zhao Gang left, only their family of four were left in the courtyard.
Lu Cheng looked at everything in front of him and couldn't believe that his wife was so capable that she had already planned a retreat.
If I had treated her badly at that time, I believe she would have kicked me out long ago. Fortunately, I treated her wholeheartedly.
Lu Cheng was filled with emotion. He looked up at Lin Yuexi, who was sorting things with a smile on her face, and said softly, "Yuexi, you are so capable, you...you..."
Lin Yuexi looked at Lu Cheng, who was about to ask a question but couldn't, and said with a bit of amusement, "Lu Cheng, do you want to ask me why I bought a house in the county town so early?"
Lu Cheng felt embarrassed by her question and could only nod and say "yeah"
Then he added, "Yuexi, I don't mean to blame you. I just think you are too capable, and I feel like I am not worthy of you."
Hearing this, Lin Yuexi put down the clothes she was sorting, walked quickly to Lu Cheng, gently held his face with both hands, and said sincerely and firmly: "Lu Cheng, don't think so. We are husband and wife, this family belongs to us together, no one is worthy of the other."
She pulled Lu Cheng to sit on the bed and said slowly: "In fact, I have long thought about giving the children a better living environment, and I also want our family to have a stable place to stay.
Every time I see children being restricted by conditions in the village school, I feel bad.
Besides, I had just saved some money by digging Gastrodia elata in the mountains, and I learned that Master Bai was going back to Beijing, so this courtyard was vacant, so I thought I might as well rent it instead of buying it. "
Lu Cheng listened, his eyes slightly reddened. He held Lin Yuexi's hand tightly and blamed himself: "Yuexi, thank you for your hard work. I made you worry so much all these years. But I didn't notice it and always felt that I had fulfilled my responsibility to you..."
Lin Yuexi leaned on Lu Cheng's shoulder and comforted him softly: "Don't say that, you are just as hard-working in the army..."
At this time, Lu Ziyan and Lu Xiyun came running in, holding an old book in his hand, and said excitedly: "Mom and Dad, I found this book in an old box in the yard. There are many interesting stories in it!"
Lu Xiyun also echoed: "Also, there's that big tree in the yard. We can sit under it to enjoy the cool and tell stories in the future!"
Looking at the innocent smiling faces of the children, Lin Yuexi and Lu Cheng smiled at each other, and their previous emotions and worries turned into expectations for the future.
Lu Cheng stood up and said to the children, "My dears, when daddy goes to the army, you and mommy will live here. You must listen to mommy."
In the following days, the new house welcomed its first visitor, Deputy Secretary Li. As soon as he heard that Lu Cheng had moved to the county town, he was the first to visit.
Deputy Secretary Li walked into the courtyard with a beaming smile on his face and a basket of fresh fruits in his hand.
"Lu Cheng, Yue Xi, I heard you guys moved in, I'm coming to come and see you guys right away."
Lu Cheng and Lin Yuexi hurriedly greeted him warmly and invited Deputy Secretary Li into the house.
After some pleasantries, Deputy Secretary Li asked about Lin Yuexi's medical qualification exam.
Deputy Secretary Li looked at Lin Yuexi with a gentle and concerned look and asked, "Yuexi, I heard you mention taking the medical qualification exam before. How are you preparing for it?"
Lin Yuexi was slightly startled, then a confident smile appeared on her face, and she said: "Deputy Secretary Li, thank you for your concern. I have been preparing seriously. Every day after finishing my family and work, I dive into the review materials. Although time is tight, I feel that my knowledge is getting more and more solid. I think as long as the exam comes, I will be able to pass it immediately..."
Deputy Secretary Li nodded repeatedly when he heard Lin Yuexi say this, "That's good. I'm looking forward to working at the county hospital soon."
