Chapter 117 Arrived Home

"When people ask me about this money, I say you gave it to me. When they check where the money came from, what do you want me to say?" Shang Nanchen returned the passbook to Jing Xian, "You keep the money. If you don't want to use it for yourself, when you get to the capital, you can buy a piece of land as a test field. You can also plant some crops."

Shang Nanchen didn't know how educated Jingxian was, but she had been married for so many years, doing housework, working and taking care of the children. She was so busy every day that she had no time to read.

The college entrance examination is only one month away.

She never even opened the book.

When the college entrance examination was announced to be resumed in late October last year, she was busy taking care of her children at home. The first thing she did was to mail information to her friend far away in the grassland. She herself had no intention of studying for the college entrance examination.

Now I suddenly have to go to college. What if I fail the entrance exam?

"I just donated a sum of money, why do they still need to review it?" Jing Xian didn't understand this and was surprised when she heard this.

Shang Nanchen nodded: "Check them all!"

Jing Xian thought of the golden bricks she had hidden in her luggage and said with a pained look on her face, "Doesn't that mean my bricks will never see the light of day again?"

"There will be a day when you can see the light of day." Shang Nanchen couldn't help laughing and comforted Jing Xian.

Jing Xian sighed: "If I had known earlier, I would have asked Jing Daming and his wife to say in front of everyone that they gave me more than 10,000 yuan. How great would that be? Now I can give it to you legitimately."

"You can use it, buy a piece of land, and continue to study your seeds. Didn't you say this was called genetics?"

Jing Xian said with disdain: "It's terrible to be uneducated! This is called genetic breeding."

She also learned this after reading a lot of professional books.

Shang Nanchen was not angry either: "Okay, it's getting late, hurry up and try to get to the capital as soon as possible. After you leave, I will call our dad and ask him to wait for you at home."

"I know, I know. Tell me if you have anything to say, don't hide it from me. If you are injured, remember to tell me. I am a doctor and can take care of you, you know? There are many diseases that others cannot cure, but I can cure them. At least at the critical moment, I can save your life. Don't take it lightly, and don't think that hiding it from me is good for me. I may feel guilty when I find out later."

Jing Xian hugged him and said solemnly: "Shang Nanchen, don't make me regret my decision today."

"will not."

Shang Nanchen hugged her tightly, and when the children weren't noticing, he patted her butt and said, "Hurry up and get in the car."

Jing Xian glared at him fiercely, turned around and got into the car easily as if she could fly.

Shang Nanchen raised his eyebrows.

Jing Xian turned around and saw this scene. She walked over proudly, sat next to the two children, and waved to Shang Nanchen.

Shang Nanchen walked to the window and said to the children, "You have to listen to your mother, understand? If you don't, your mother will send you back and you will eat in the cafeteria every day."

The intimidation of these words was quite strong. Several children said in unison: "We must listen to our mother! Goodbye, Dad!"

"Okay, let's go!"

Shang Nanchen asked the driver to drive.

After the car drove out, Shang Nanchen took two steps forward, then stood there, staring until it was out of sight. Then he turned around, closed the door, and walked towards the troops.

Zhao Xiuzhi was just about to buy salt, and when she ran into Shang Nanchen, she asked, "Master Shang, where is Jingxian doing?"

"Oh, go see her dad."

Shang Nanchen finished speaking and walked away with big strides.

Wu Zhanfu came out of the yard and saw Zhao Xiuzhi still standing there. He asked her, "Aren't you going to buy salt? Why aren't you leaving yet? What are you doing standing here? Are you stupid?"

Zhao Xiuzhi glared at him unhappily and said, "Tell me, why is Jingxian still thinking about going to see her father?"

"If you want to go back to see your father-in-law, you can go back." Wu Zhanfu said, straightened his hat and left.

Zhao Xiuzhi chased after him angrily and said, "Why don't you know why I don't go home?"

"Then why are you jealous of Jing Xian?"

Wu Zhanfu felt that he didn't understand

woman.

She was clearly envious, but she was still unhappy when he asked her to go back.

It's really hard to please.

Zhao Xiuzhi felt that Wu Zhanfu was sometimes a fool and didn't understand what she was thinking at all.

"Am I jealous? I'm surprised. You've met Jingxian's father, he's so handsome. He's old, but looks younger than you." Wu Zhanfu is not ugly either.

But compared with Shang Nanchen and his father-in-law, there is a huge gap.

Wu Zhanfu stopped, pulled Zhao Xiuzhi's sleeve, frowned and said, "Zhao Xiuzhi, if you really have nothing to do all day, go do something else. Don't think about useless things all day long."

"Why is it useless? Is it not okay for me to be curious? If Jingfeng's father gets married, won't Jingxian be disliked if she goes to live with her family at her parents' home? Is it not okay for me to care about Jingxian?" Zhao Xiuzhi got furious and started to scold Wu Zhanfu.

Wu Zhanfu couldn't say anything better than Zhao Xiuzhi. Women would never argue, so it would be better to just shut up than to reason with them.

"Okay, okay, that's great."

Wu Zhanfu quickened his pace to avoid quarreling with Zhao Xiuzhi again.

Zhao Xiuzhi had a lot on her mind and wanted to find someone to share it with, but she couldn't find anyone.

After she finished shopping and returned home, she saw her mother-in-law sitting in the yard embroidering. She hesitated for a moment and sat down and said, "Mom, Jingxian went to her father's house. Did you know?"

"She said that when she came over yesterday." Old Mrs. Wu continued embroidering.

Zhao Xiuzhi couldn't help but ask, "Mom, you said her father was so young, and he's been gone for such a long time, didn't he get married again?"

When Mrs. Wu heard this, she knew what messed up things were in her daughter-in-law's mind again.

"Jingxian wants her father to remarry, but he has no intention of doing so. Moreover, he has given her all his things. Although Jingxian is going to her father's house, he lives in his own yard. If her father gets married and lives at home, it's fine, but if her stepmother doesn't let her live there, that's not okay."

Zhao Xiuzhi almost dropped her jaw in surprise: "Mom, how did you know?"

"Jing Xian said so."

Zhao Xiuzhi: “…”

Then why didn't she hear it?

Seeing her mother-in-law's indifferent look, Zhao Xiuzhi was very interested and didn't ask anything.

Drive out of the military area.

The road was a bit bumpy, and the wheat straw was spread on it, so it wasn't cold or hard at all. It wasn't uncomfortable to stand on tiptoe. Jing Xian just lay there, half-closed her eyes, and began to catch up on her sleep.

Xiaowu and Xiaoliu followed suit and lay down beside Jingxian.

Xiao Mao watched his brother and sister lie down, and then he lay down too.

The car was whirring away and the people in it fell asleep.

I slept soundly.

At first, Damao, Tiedan and the other two were quite excited, but after watching for a while, they got used to it and fell asleep.

Jing Xian opened her eyes, raised her wrist, and saw that it was already past eleven o'clock in the afternoon.

As soon as she moved, the other two kids woke up.

Jing Xian called Fusheng and asked him to tell the driver arranged by Shang Nanchen to find a place to park.

The driver knew that the chief's two children needed milk, so he stopped the car at a place with a river.

Local people are pumping water for irrigation.

After seeing this, Tiedan got out of the car and said, "Mom, where is our big teapot? I saw someone pumping water to water the fields over there. I'll go to the well and get some water."

"Okay, wait for me to find it for you."

Jingxian handed the big teacup to Tiedan, and also took the kettle which was specially used for boiling water and gave it to Tiedan.

Da Mao was taller than Tiedan. He took it and said, "Mom, are we going to have lunch here?"

"Let's eat here, and then we'll leave."

Jing Xian got off the car and planned to pick up some firewood. The little warrior sent by Shang Nanchen volunteered to go, and Fusheng and Xiaomao followed. She had no choice but to stay alone to look after Xiaowu and Xiaoliu.

"Be good, you two. Stay on top and don't crawl around. Mom will cook for you."

When they heard about food, the two kids became very well behaved.

Xiaoliuhui

Waving his little fists, he said in a baby voice, "Mom! Food!"

Jing Xian turned around. Although Xiao Liu didn't say anything, there were two words written in his eyes: Food!

"Yeah, yeah, food, food will be ready soon."

Jing Xian not only brought bowls and chopsticks, but also a small pot.

She found a few large stones, placed them in place, and put the pot on top. She then went to the car to find the seasonings she had made at home, as well as two pounds of noodles and washed vegetables, and placed them next to them.

Tiedan and Damao came back soon.

"Mom, well water is sweet and delicious. Do you want some?" Tiedan handed it to Jingxian. Jingxian poured some water from a small teacup and took a couple of sips. She found that the well water was really sweet.

"Okay, you go look after your sister, I'll wash the pot."

While Jingxian was washing the pot, Fusheng and the others came back collecting firewood.

Start cooking with firewood.

After a while the water boiled.

Jing Xian started to cook the noodles in plain water and then rinsed them twice with cold water.

Okay, let's eat.

Jing Xian boiled a small pot of water, took out the egg sauce she had prepared earlier, and used salted vegetables, minced meat, and soybeans as brine. Then everyone started eating.

Jing Xian didn't expect that the little warrior was also a coward.

There wasn't even enough for one pot of noodles.

Luckily she also prepared cakes.

Everyone divided the lasagna and started eating.

The two little ones ate very well. Finally, when the water was boiled, I added the water I brought from home to the warm water and used it to make milk powder for the two children.

Xiaowu and Xiaoliu drank their fill and felt sleepy again.

Not long after the car started, the two kids began to feel drowsy again.

It was not known whether they would find water at night, so Jing Xian switched shifts with the little warrior and started to hurry on.

The little warrior went to sleep in the car, and Damao and Tiedan went to the back to look after their younger brother and sister.

Jingxian drives very fast and very steadily.

She has very acute hearing and can hear footsteps from a long distance away.

Before dark.

They didn't encounter anyone watering the ground this time, but Jingxian parked the car in front of a house.

The little warrior volunteered to go down and ask for a pot of hot water. Jing Xian prepared milk powder for the two little guys and then switched places with the little warrior.

"You eat first, and I'll drive for a while. You drive in the first half of the night, and I'll drive in the second half." Jing Xian had the final say in this matter, and the little warrior didn't dare to object.

He quickly got in the car to eat, and after eating, he exchanged seats with Jing Xian.

Jing Xian ate a cookie and drank some of the warm water left over from making milk powder for the children. Before closing her eyes and going to sleep, she reminded him, "Da Mao, you've worked so hard. You must take good care of your brothers and sisters."

"Mom, you take a rest. I'll take care of my younger brothers and sisters." Damao asked Jingxian to rest quickly.

When Fusheng just changed his position, he came over from behind and asked Tiedan to go to the front to watch.

Xiaowu and Xiaoliu were not sleepy at the moment but were tired of sitting, so they pestered their brothers to play.

Jing Xian closed her eyes and began to rest.

At about ten o'clock, Jingxian and the little warrior took turns driving.

After Xiao Mao has had a good rest, he goes to the back to be replaced by Da Mao, who then goes to the front to sleep.

The other three stayed in the car fight, accompanying their younger siblings with the little warrior.

It was windy outside at night, so Jing Xian found a super-thin blanket and covered the children with it.

"You don't have to wake up. Wait until I park the car and then you can take my place. Have a good rest. You have to drive for a long time tomorrow." Jing Xian said this, and the little warrior closed his eyes peacefully.

Even if you are sleepy and tired, you can sleep soundly in such an environment.

Although the rest was not particularly good, it was better than no sleep at all.

Jing Xian turned on full speed mode again.

The car was going very fast.

It's dawn.

The car also stopped.

The little guys were sleeping soundly.

After hearing this, Jing Xian parked the car on the side of the road, borrowed a bucket of water from a fellow villager, and then built a simple stove with stones outside to start making a fire and cooking.

The little warrior has risen.

Helping around.

"Make some soup in the morning and eat all the cakes." Jing Xian made a tomato egg soup.

She peeled the tomatoes with a knife, cut them, put them in water, and then beat the eggs into the water.

After the soup was ready, several children woke up one after another.

They washed their faces and brushed their teeth one by one, then sat in a row with their own bowls to eat and drink soup. Even the fifth and sixth children held their own bottles and drank voraciously.

The children couldn't stop eating the lasagna, drinking soup, and stir-fried lean meat with sour radish. The fifth and sixth children, whose teeth haven't grown in yet, were enjoying the food.

When Xiaowu was silent, Xiaoliu called out, "Rou Rou, Rou Rou!"

"This is radish, not meat." Jing Xian corrected patiently.

"Damn!"

Xiaoliu repeated it seriously.

It's so cute that it's almost killing you.

When Xiaowu saw his sister eating carrots, he took the initiative to come over, opened his mouth and made an "ah" sound.

"You have it too, you have it too." Jing Xian was worried that Xiao Wu wouldn't be able to speak, but later she realized that it wasn't that the boy couldn't speak, but that he simply didn't want to speak.

Feeding children is the slowest process.

After the adults had eaten and played, Jing Xian took the two little ones into the car and let them continue to drink milk from the bottles. After they finished drinking, she used hot water in the military kettle to heat the bottles and then filled them up.

"You brothers, take care of the kids. I'm going to take a nap."

"sleep!"

Xiaoliu said in a cute way, his little face puffed up as if it was stuffed with food.

They drove for a day and a night and had already left the province.

It is estimated that it will take another eight hours to reach the destination.

The little warrior drove the car while Jing Xian fell asleep.

They stopped again for lunch at noon.

This time we had cakes.

I drink boiled water.

We ate the dishes that had been prepared previously.

The children were hungry on the way and had almost all of the boiled eggs. The little warrior also ate a few, and was embarrassed at first, until Jingxian said, "If you don't want to eat, don't drive."

The little warrior then took the egg.

"I'll open it later."

Jing Xian continued feeding the two little ones as she spoke.

After the two little ones finished drinking milk, Da Mao was in charge of washing the bottles. After washing and putting them away, Jing Xian let the little warriors rest and went to drive.

After entering the capital, Jing Xian discovered that this ancient city was very similar to what she remembered.

Not in the memory of the previous life, but in the memory of the end of the world.

At the end of the world, the largest northern base is in the capital.

She looked at the familiar yet unfamiliar road, the city full of a sense of age and simplicity, and had a feeling of traveling through time and space.

As the car drove further in, Jing Xian saw a familiar building and deliberately slowed down the car to let the children take a good look at it before slowly driving away.

A few minutes later.

The car stopped.

Before Jing Xian got out of the car, she saw a handsome middle-aged man in a Zhongshan suit standing at the entrance of the alley, looking at her with a sullen face.

Damn it, Dad is angry!

After realizing this problem, Jing Xian found that she didn't hate this feeling at all, and she was even a little happy about it.

It seems that only true family members would do this.

Jing Xian is a slow-to-warm-up person, even a little cold at heart.

At this moment, she could hardly control her emotions.

She opened the car door and jumped out, yelling, "Dad!"

Then he ran towards Comrade Jingfeng and hugged him.

"dad!"

This call of "Dad" came from the depths of her heart after she had gone through many hardships.

Jingfeng couldn't hold it back any longer, and said with heartache and helplessness: "Look at you, can't you take the train? You insisted on driving here. Shang Nanchen is the same. He knew you had to travel so far, but he didn't arrange two more people to take you here. Why did you insist on driving here yourself?

vehicle."

"Dad, when Xiao Wang returns later, you should arrange a few more people to take him back! He has worked hard along the way, running around with me and driving for such a long time."

Jing Xian is acting coquettishly with Comrade Jing Feng.

Comrade Jingfeng was flattered and would not refuse. He immediately said, "Rest at home for two days, and then I will send someone to take him back."

"Thank you, Dad!"

Jing Xian then remembered that she had actually forgotten about her children.

When she turned around, she saw a few kids lying on the edge of the car, staring at her.

Jing Xian: “…”

If she hadn't gone to the end of the world, she would have known that this feeling is called social death.

"Hurry, you guys get off, we're home." Jing Xian walked over as if nothing had happened and picked up Xiaowu from the car. Then Comrade Jingfeng already held Xiaoliu in his arms.

"Oh, this is grandma's granddaughter! She's so cute!" He held Xiaoliu tightly, turned around and looked at the other brats and said, "You brats, just get down by yourselves."

The bravest one stood on the car and said, "Grandma, that won't work. We still have to unload the stuff."

Jingfeng took a look inside. Wow, except for one empty space, the rest of the car was packed with everything. Not only luggage, but also vegetables.

"Are you moving?" Jingfeng was stunned by his daughter's generosity.

Jing Xian: "We will live here for four years. After four years, the kids will also take the college entrance exam. They will definitely go to universities here. It will be difficult to go back. If we don't move all our things here, will they just sit there and collect dust?"

"Good move." Jingfeng had already asked people to prepare bath water and meals. "Go in quickly, drive the car directly in and park it in the yard. Then take a rest first. If you want to take a shower, you can go take a shower directly. After that, we will eat."

When Jing Xian heard that she could take a shower, she immediately carried Xiao Wu inside.

She walked into the yard and turned back to ask Jingfeng: "Dad, the car can't get in through this door, right?"

A young woman came out from inside and smiled when she heard this: "There is a side door in our yard. You can just enter through the side door."

It's just that the tone sounds a bit annoying.
