On the evening of the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, after having dinner in the dining hall, people gradually left.
Han Shunde hesitated before speaking to Li Lanzhen.
"Lanzhen, I... I want to go to Forget-Worry Valley to see my parents."
On New Year's Eve, Li Lanzhen knew that Han Shunde should go to Wangyou Valley to visit his parents.
She knew that Han Shunde was a filial son and the eldest son.
If those things hadn't happened on their journey to escape the famine, perhaps he wouldn't have come to this paradise with her.
Li Lanzhen never expected that when they left Wangyou Valley, Han Shunde's family would be able to make up their minds to come out with her.
Han Shunde could have gone to see his parents on his own if he wanted to; informing her was a way of respecting her wishes.
So Li Lanzhen smiled and said, "Okay, when are you planning to go?"
Han Shunde's eyes swept over Li Lanzhen's face, and seeing that she didn't seem unhappy, he breathed a sigh of relief.
"We'll leave tomorrow morning. If we can come back that day, we will. If we can't, we'll come back the next morning."
Li Lanzhen nodded, "There isn't much work to do in Peach Blossom Spring right now."
Brother Zhang has taken care of everything, from greenhouse vegetables to grains.
You can stay there for a few more days if you wish.
Are you all going?
Han Shunde shook his head and looked up at Han Zhaoxiong and Huang Shanhua, who were standing in the distance.
Li Lanzhen also turned her head and glanced at the two people standing in the distance.
Judging from their expressions, it was clear they were extremely reluctant to go, which Li Lanzhen could understand.
Their own daughter was almost thrown into the river by their aunt-in-law, so how could they possibly become close to them?
Li Lanzhen nodded.
Han Shunde hesitated for a moment before speaking again.
"Lanzhen, I want to take Shulan and Mingxiang with me."
When the two of them got married, they didn't visit my parents, so I was thinking of taking them to meet them now.
At this moment, although Li Lanzhen had a smile on her face, her heart had turned cold.
"I disagree! I will not let Han Mingxiang leave Peach Blossom Spring now."
You know he has exams in April, and I don't want him to be in any danger.
After saying that, he turned and walked out.
After taking two steps, she suddenly stopped and turned to look at Han Shunde.
"Village Chief Han, please do not reveal a single thing about all of this in Peach Blossom Spring to the people of Forget-Worry Valley."
Especially our greenhouse vegetable and grain cultivation.
I don't want them to know right now!
Also, we sent a batch of grain to the soldiers guarding the border before the New Year. This matter must not be revealed in the slightest!
Moreover, I do not allow anyone from Forget-Worry Valley to come here!
Please do not bring anyone in without permission!
Otherwise, you can leave too!
After saying that, she turned and left.
The Han family was left standing in the dining room, looking at each other in bewilderment.
Liu Zhaodi swung her fist and punched Han Shunde in the back.
The loud bang snapped Han Shunde out of his daze.
Han Shunde was shocked when he heard what Li Lanzhen said!
Have I become arrogant too? Everything here was brought about by Li Lanzhen; what does it have to do with me?
Does calling him "village chief" make him the village chief? It's just a title of respect.
Sigh! It seems I need to be constantly vigilant and not make the same mistake as his father!
After being punched by his wife, he turned around and grabbed Liu Zhaodi's hand.
"Hey, honey, does your hand hurt?"
Liu Zhaodi glanced at her son and daughter-in-law, then glared at him.
"Let me tell you, if you're as muddle-headed as your father-in-law, you might as well go back to the Valley of Forgetfulness by yourself!"
I live in this paradise with my son and daughter!
"I'm not going to Forget-Worry Valley with you tomorrow, you can go by yourself!"
Huang Shanhua quickly grabbed Liu Zhaodi's hand and winked at her.
"Mother, you have to go with Father."
Then she whispered, "Mother, you go with Father, don't let him say the wrong thing."
She had seen Aunt Lanzhen's serious expression and unpleasant tone just now.
Huangshan Peanut was afraid that his father-in-law would return to Forget-Worry Valley, and in his excitement, he would say things he shouldn't have said and reveal information he shouldn't have revealed.
What would she do then? She was unwilling to leave Peach Blossom Spring!
After being reminded by her daughter-in-law, Liu Zhaodi immediately understood and waved her hand dismissively.
"Yes, I'll go with you tomorrow. But let me tell you, you'd better keep your mouth shut!"
Don't speak recklessly or carelessly just because you're happy!
Han Shunde nodded with a smile and said, "I know, I know. We'll leave early tomorrow."
Li Lanzhen was still a little worried as she walked home.
She wasn't afraid of Han Shunde talking nonsense, but she was afraid that the people of Forget-Worry Valley wouldn't let him go.
Han Shulan followed silently behind Li Lanzhen, her head down, feeling ashamed.
After she and Han Mingxiang returned to Peach Blossom Spring, they learned the whole story.
Han Shulan was angry that her grandfather was unreasonable.
Grandma led the group to find Forget-Worry Valley, and she also took care of all the food and drink for everyone along the way.
The old woman was kind; she saved more than twenty orphans and took them to the Valley of Forgetfulness.
It's really heartbreaking and disappointing that they caused such a mess!
Now, her own father wants to take Han Mingxiang back to Forget-Worry Valley with her.
Why go back? Just to show off and let everyone know that his son-in-law is about to take the imperial examination.
Hmph! He doesn't even think about the fact that his husband is about to take an exam and his studies are so demanding. He still wants him to go back and save face for him and show off!
I don't want to go back; my grandparents have a strong preference for sons over daughters.
In Hanjiacun, she didn't suffer much hardship, but she wasn't valued either.
Compared to girls who suffer setbacks, she was relatively well off, managing to eat about half full every day.
Li Lanzhen knew that she had been following behind, her steps heavy, and she dared not make a sound.
She stopped and turned to take Han Shulan's hand.
"Shulan, your grandfather is your grandfather, your father is your father, and you are yourself!"
Don't punish yourself for their mistakes!
Now you are Han Mingxiang's wife, my daughter-in-law, and a member of our Han family.
Cheer up! Take good care of your husband these next few days, encourage him to study hard, and when he passes the imperial examination and becomes a scholar, you'll be a scholar's wife.
Li Lanzhen's words comforted Han Shulan's anxious heart.
Her steps quickened, and her icy hands gripped Li Lanzhen's warm hands tightly.
After they returned home, the two brothers, Han Mingjiang and Han Minghai, came over.
Han Mingjiang started speaking angrily as soon as his butt hit the stool.
"Mother, what's going on with Village Chief Han?"
He still wants to go back to Forget-Worry Valley to see his parents?
What if he goes back and accidentally reveals everything about our Peach Blossom Spring?
Li Lanzhen looked at her eldest son and said.
"Boss, what do you think we should do?"
Han Minghai shook his head. "No, he still knows what's important."
Even if he revealed a little bit, let's do as Mother said and let him leave Peach Blossom Spring for Forget-Worry Valley!
Moreover, we will not accept anyone from the Valley of Forgetfulness!
Li Lanzhen felt gratified as she looked at her eldest son, who was becoming more and more confident and decisive in his speech and actions.
It's good that everyone is growing; you can't just do all the work yourself, or you'll exhaust her.
She only wants her children and grandchildren to grow up and be able to stand on their own two feet.
