Chapter 455
Zhou Qizhi nodded, "Well, as long as we keep each other company, it's okay if Xiaochi and Xiaozhuo are not with us."
"If Mimi and Xia Bin also have two children, then our entire big family will have eight children. It's impossible for any of them to be away from home. Even if only one child is left at home, we won't be lonely. What's more, with so many of us living together in old age, how could we possibly feel bored?"
Their big family has many children, so it is impossible for there to be no children in the family. Even if Zhou Chi grows up, there are still other people's children!
It will take at least eighteen years for a child to graduate from high school. Xiao Mimi's child is about to be born, and he may be the youngest child in the family, so there will be children in their family in the next eighteen years.
Moreover, when Xiao Mimi's child turns eighteen, Zhou Chi will be twenty-five, and Jin Jingjing and Zhou Zhuo will be almost twenty-three. Maybe one of them will be married and have children. By then, they may have grandchildren to take care of. It is impossible that they are the only middle-aged people left.
So there is no need to worry about being lonely in your old age.
After returning home, the family of four went to the courtyard to soak in the hot springs and eat some fruit, and then came out and slept in their new home.
The next morning, I rushed back to the yard where I lived before from my new home. Grandma Xiao and Mother Xiao were already in the kitchen making breakfast. Xia Chan and the others made a lot of buns, steamed buns and dumplings and froze them in the yard, so it was easy to make breakfast. I just had to heat or boil them.
"Xiao Chi, Xiao Zhuo, you are here. Come over and have breakfast. Grandma has cooked dumplings for you." When Xiao's mother saw Xia Chan and the others coming, she greeted them hurriedly.
Zhou Chi and Zhou Zhuo hurried in and sat down at the table. Xiao's mother brought the hot dumplings and placed them on the table.
Xia Chan walked to the stove and used the dumpling soup in the pot to cook the remaining dumplings. It was so comfortable to eat a bowl of hot dumplings in winter.
After the dumplings were cooked, their family of eight sat around the dining table and ate the hot dumplings. Xiao Tiantian and Xiao Mimi now have their own families and their own lives, so they were not invited to eat in the morning.
Just invite everyone over to eat together at noon and in the evening.
After breakfast, everyone started working on lunch. It would be too late to prepare lunch for so many people without advance preparation. For two tables of food, several kitchens had to be used. Xia Chan distributed the task of lunch. One kitchen cooked several dishes, and with the joint efforts of several families, two tables of sumptuous lunches could be prepared.
At noon, Xia Chan put a large round wooden board on the dining table, and it became a large round table that could seat more than ten or twenty people.
Even if there is not enough room, it’s okay. The children will eat and leave the table quickly, and the adults can wait a while before sitting down. After all, they are all family members, so there is no need to care so much or to pay attention to any table rules. In their family, these things don’t happen.
After the children had eaten, they went out to play, leaving the adults sitting at the table to eat. The atmosphere was very harmonious and cordial.
Xiao's mother suddenly said, "The soil and water in the mountains seem to be more nourishing. My parents have only been here for more than two years, and they seem to have become much younger."
Father Xiao also nodded in agreement, "Yes, other people of this age have white hair, but my parents' hair is jet black, and they look better than middle-aged people."
"Mom and Dad, since the soil and water here are so good for health, why don't you come here to retire when you retire? If you don't want to stay here forever, you can live here for a few years." Xia Chan suggested with a smile. She couldn't stay in the countryside for a lifetime, and she would go to the city occasionally to enjoy a different life, but she would definitely retire in the countryside.
So she didn't force Xiao's father and mother to stay in the countryside all the time. They were from big cities and definitely wouldn't be used to it. It would be fine for them to stay there occasionally for a while.
Moreover, they will have to take care of the children for Xiao Fengfeng and Chen Haifeng, so they will definitely not stay here all the time.
"Okay, then after we retire, we'll come here and live for a while." Xiao's mother said with a smile.
Although it is a little colder here than in Beijing, this place is vast and rich in resources. Changing the environment occasionally can really improve one's mood. Just like when they came here this time, they felt that their physical condition seemed to have improved a lot.
After breakfast, Xia Chan took Xiao's father and mother to stroll around the village. As conditions improved, many large blue brick and tile houses were built in the village. Now the whole village is much more prosperous than before.
Xia Chan also took Xiao's father and mother up the mountain, to the place where the winter hunting team entered the mountain, and took them for a walk in the bamboo forest. Although the wind was howling, they kept exercising, so they felt warm.
When returning, Xia Chan was stopped by a man who was wrapped up like a bear and whose identity could not be identified. The man asked, "Is it Xia Chan? Song Qingshu's grandfather passed away last night."
"Oh, I understand. Thank you for telling me." Xia Chan nodded and said.
She didn't expect that after so many years, she would still hear news about the Song family. If it were in the past, she would definitely go to take a look when something like this happened. But later, the Song family treated her like that and wanted to use Ban Yutong to get rid of her. It would be fine if she didn't go to his grave and step on it a few times, but she also went to see him. What a wishful thinking!
The saying "the dead are the greatest" does not apply to her. Some things cannot just disappear with his death. Although the scar on Zhou Qizhi's stomach has faded a lot due to long-term hot spring bathing, it is still there and cannot disappear completely. How can she forgive those people in the Song family?
Also, Song Qingshu's grandfather has passed away, and Song Qingshu will definitely bring his wife and children over. If she goes over, will Song Qingshu's wife do something bad to her like Ban Yutong did?
"Mom, who is Song Qingshu's grandfather? Do we know him?" Zhou Chi looked up at Xia Chan and asked curiously.
Xia Chan touched the hat on his head and said, "I know him, but you don't know him, and you don't have to know him."
Afterwards, Xia Chan told them how Song Qingshu pursued her but was rejected by him, and how Song Qingshu's grandfather made things difficult for her in order to force her to agree.
Also, Song Qingshu's father used Song Qingshu to arrange a marriage so that Song Qingshu would be with Ban Yutong, but he was unwilling to be with Ban Yutong. Later, Song Qingshu's father trapped Ban Yutong at home, and then Grandpa Song revealed Xia Chan to help Ban Yutong escape. Ban Yutong wanted to get rid of Xia Chan, and Zhou Qizhi blocked the knife for Xia Chan.
Xia Chan told the children this story not to scare them, but to tell them how treacherous human nature is. In the future, when they go out, no matter who they face, they must be careful, because some people have no bottom line at all.
She thought that making things difficult for her was the lowest level of Grandpa Song Qingshu's behavior, but she never thought that Grandpa Song Qingshu would actually want to get rid of her. How could an old man take revenge on a junior who was younger than his grandson?
