Chapter 410 What Happened Yesterday

However, plans cannot keep up with changes. Grandpa Xiao and Grandma Xiao want to wait until everyone graduates next year to go back together. However, the Yong'an Production Team has recently carried out land reform, which is to distribute land to each household. It will not work if no one from Xia Chan's family is away, because then they will not have any share of the good land.

Xia Chan and Zhou Qizhi need to ask for leave to go back, which will only take more than twenty hours and is not too troublesome. Grandpa and Grandma Xiao think that since they will go next year anyway, they might as well go together now and they can still look after the house for them.

So the four of them, along with a child, boarded the train back to the Yong'an Production Team.

When we got out of the train station and took the bus back to town, Xia Chan smiled and said, "Zhou Qizhi, when we get older, we can buy a car to do transportation. We can only run this route from the county town to our village. We will definitely make a lot of money."

In his previous life, when Xia Chan was watching videos, he saw a middle-aged couple driving passenger transport in the countryside. They could earn one or two hundred yuan a day. At a time when it was not easy for everyone to make money, it was not bad to earn so much money in a month. The most important thing was that they didn’t have to travel far. Except for the time spent driving the car, they could do their own things in the rest of the time.

Zhou Qizhi didn't say that he understood Xia Chan very well, but he understood her about 60% to 70%. He knew that when Xia Chan said such words, she actually wanted to do such a thing. It could be said that she was hinting at him to do such a thing in the future.

In fact, as long as he can be with her, he can do anything. It doesn't matter how much money he makes. What matters is that they are together as a couple.

So Zhou Qizhi quietly held Xia Chan's hand and said with a smile, "This is a really good idea. We can do this in the future."

When we arrived in the town, we got off the bus and rented a ox cart to go back to the production team. Because there was no car to the countryside, there were only ox carts used to transport people.

As soon as the ox cart entered the Yong'an Production Team, the villagers who were sitting and gossiping under the big jujube tree at the entrance of the village saw them. At first, everyone was a little bit unbelieving, because Xia Chan and Zhou Qizhi were really far from the image they remembered.

After recognizing them, we were all very excited.

The top scholar in their village has returned with a son who looks to be two or three years old. She is now pregnant with another child. She is studying and having a child at the same time. She has done two things at the same time without delaying anything!
Xia Chan gave each of them a handful of candy and then went home, because they had been riding for so long and were really tired, so they needed to go home and rest.

When they passed by the house at the foot of the mountain, Xia Chan asked Grandpa Xiao and Grandma Xiao to go in and take a look. If it was clean, they could move in directly. This way, Grandpa Xiao and Grandma Xiao wouldn't have to climb the mountain so hard.

Jiang Dayong also heard that they were back, and hurried over. His legs could still walk and run, but his posture was not very good. He said breathlessly, "The rooms are clean, and the quilts are often dried in the sun. You can move in directly."

"Uncle Dayong, thank you!" Xia Chan didn't expect Jiang Dayong to be so serious and responsible. She just wanted to find someone to watch over the house to prevent thieves from breaking in!
Jiang Dayong smiled embarrassedly, "This is my job, I have to do it well."

"Uncle Dayong, we are a little tired after just coming back. We need to rest first. We will treat you to dinner another day."

After settling Grandpa Xiao and Grandma Xiao, Xia Chan and Zhou Qizhi handed Zhou Chi to them and went up the mountain. Before leaving, Xia Chan put a lot of things into the space. She had to go back quickly and put them out, otherwise they would not have the chance to take them out if Grandpa Xiao and Grandma Xiao went up the mountain some other day.

On the steps leading up the mountain, Zhou Qizhi directly picked up Xia Chan. She was pregnant and had been sitting in the car for such a long time. Now she had to walk on the mountain road for dozens of minutes.

He couldn't do the hard work for her, but he could help alleviate some of her hard work. When he arrived at the gate of the courtyard, Xia Chan took out the key and opened the gate. Looking at the courtyard where he had lived for many years, Xia Chan felt as if he was in another world, as if everything happened just yesterday.

After returning to their home and putting out some important daily necessities, the two of them made the bed on the kang and lay down to rest. If there was anything, they would talk about it after they woke up.

When he woke up, it was already dark outside. Xia Chan got up quickly and took out some food from the space. Zhou Qizhi directly cooked half a pot of rice, steamed a large bowl of egg custard, and added the roast duck that Xia Chan brought out, and dinner was ready.

Zhou Qizhi first delivered dinner to Grandpa Xiao and Grandma Xiao, and then came back to have dinner with Xia Chan. After dinner, Zhou Qizhi hurried to boil water for a bath.

Xia Chan originally wanted to sneak into the space bathroom to take a shower, but Zhou Qizhi said that it was inconvenient for her to take a shower because of her big belly, and insisted on rubbing her back, so she couldn't go to the space to take a shower.

After washing up, they went straight to bed.

Returning to this small home where she had lived for many years, Xia Chan felt that her heart was filled. Although she was a member of the Xiao family and this place could not be considered her hometown, she had lived here for more than 20 years. She had adoptive parents who were kind to her and brothers who loved her. In her heart, this was her first hometown.

Moreover, she was born in this province, not in the Xiao family, so this is actually her first hometown.

They rested for the whole afternoon and then slept all night. The next morning, both of them woke up very early. They were bored lying down after waking up, so they got up early.

Zhou Qizhi first went to cook breakfast and then cleaned the house. Xia Chan also took a small shovel to deal with the grass in the vegetable garden in the yard. Their place is in the north, and there are not many kinds of fruits that can be grown. They have not been at home in the past few years, and no vegetables have been planted in the vegetable garden in the yard, only ten fruit trees.

Unlike the small courtyard in the mountains, the climate here is pleasant and all kinds of fruits can be grown.

In the past few years, Xia Chan planted several small fruit trees such as wild blueberry, maidenhair, and fig. This was because other fruit trees have very deep roots. Their yard was covered with stones, and only a few dozen centimeters of soil were above, which they brought back. It was not suitable for growing other fruit trees.

The fruits on the trees in the past few years should have been picked by Jiang Dayong. Jiang Dayong is a simple country man, and he would definitely not be willing to waste them like this.

There are only five vegetable plots in the yard, so weeding is quite easy. The summer cicadas didn’t take long to weed out the weeds.

When the time was almost up, Zhou Qizhi brought breakfast to Grandpa Xiao and Grandma Xiao. After coming back, he had breakfast with Xia Chan, and then they went down the mountain.

See if Grandpa Xiao and Grandma Xiao need any help. This time, Grandpa Xiao and Grandma Xiao plan to stay here and not go back to Beijing with them.

It would definitely be worrying for just the two of them to be here, so they have to settle things at home first, especially food. They have no food at home now, so they must prepare food for the next few months.

The two of them first cleaned up the vegetable patch in the yard, and then planted various vegetables. In this way, in two or three months, Grandpa Xiao and Grandma Xiao would have more than enough vegetables to eat.
