Surprise! The rough husband is the hidden boss of the period literature

Chapter 437 Return to the city
Jian Jingchuan didn't have time to come and pick up his daughter and grandson, so he sent his bodyguard, Xiao Pan, instead.

He helped buy sleeper tickets, and early in the morning of February 26, the entire Jiang family set off to send the two elders, Xu Qinghuan and his wife, their two children, Jiang Xinglan and her daughter, and Jiang Xingmei, a total of nine people, onto the train to Yancheng.

When the time for parting comes, it's quite sad for both those who leave and those who stay.

Jiang Xingmei, in particular, had never been separated from her parents since she was a child, and her eyes were swollen from crying.

Zhou Guizhi was also speechless, and tears streamed down her face like rain.

“Huanhuan, when summer vacation comes, please come back if you can, so your aunt can see the stars and have some food.” Zhou Guizhi was on the verge of tears as soon as she opened her mouth.

Jiang Baohua was somewhat speechless. "If you're worried, I'll buy you a ticket later, and you can go to Yancheng too."

Zhou Guizhi cried, "I want to too, for this whole family."

Jiang Baohua was too lazy to say anything.

Although he was reluctant to leave his elderly parents, it was clear that it was better for them to be with Xu Qinghuan than with them; they wouldn't have to worry about catching a cold or cough.

After repeatedly instructing them, when the train whistled, Jiang Xingye told them to quickly step back to avoid being hit by the train.

Xu Qinghuan waved to them through the window until they were no longer in sight, and then tears streamed down her face. She was saying goodbye to the place where she had lived for three and a half years.

Jiang Xingye took the child from her arms and gently put his arm around her shoulder. "I'll come back again in the future."

Jiang Xingmei wiped away her tears and said, "Yes, I'll definitely come back during the summer vacation."

There were nine of them in total, occupying three private rooms. Xiao Pan was in the room next to theirs, and he would come over three times a day to ask if they needed him to help buy food. Jiang Xingye and Jiang Xingmei would go with him.

While others ate dry rations, they ate hot food for all three meals a day.

There are also two elderly people there.

Xu Qinghuan was worried that the two elderly people would not be able to handle the train journey, so she gave them spiritual water from her spatial storage.

When they arrived at Yancheng Railway Station at noon on the fourth day, the two elderly people did not look tired at all. On the contrary, they were in high spirits and got off the train first. They waited on the platform and asked Jiang Xingye to take down their luggage so they could watch over it.

The Huo family sent people to pick them up, and Jian Jingchuan also arranged a car.

No one expected that Old Mrs. Huo and Shen Xiuqin would come together.

Grandma Huo and Grandma Jiang stood hand in hand on the platform, looking at each other with great joy.

"I thought I would never come back in this lifetime!"

"If our children and grandchildren are so capable, why can't they come? I'll show you around sometime; things have changed so much over the years! And they'll change even more as time goes on. Let's try to live a few more years."

"Good, we're lucky. There aren't many left alive. If we keep living like this, we'll all turn into old monsters!"

"So what if she's an old hag? Things are so much better now. We've been waiting for this day for so long!"

Grandma Huo then looked Grandpa Jiang up and down. “You look great. Huanhuan is quite capable. So many people are asking about her. I told Old Huo not to go to work today and to come pick you up. He hadn’t even changed his clothes, but something came up over there, so I had to send someone to pick him up.”

"It's a good thing he's got a lot going on these days! We need him to keep things under control right now."

“I said we’ll go to your house today, have dinner there first, and then I’ll take you back to rest. It’s close by.”

"Let's go tomorrow. I'll go back and wash up today. I've been on the train for three or four days, and I feel like I'm made of pickled vegetables. I need to rest before I go."

After seeing Xu Qinghuan and her group off to the courtyard house, they arranged to visit the Huo family the next day. Then, Old Mrs. Huo and her daughter-in-law went back home.

Xiao Pan also took the driver back to report.

As soon as she entered the courtyard house, Jiang Nanyin exclaimed, "It's so beautiful!"

Jian Jingchuan had cleaned the courtyard house very thoroughly beforehand. Although the flowers and plants inside had not been meticulously maintained, they were not messy. In the first courtyard, two winter plum trees exuded fragrance.

Snow fell in Yancheng after the New Year, and two snowmen, a boy and a girl, were piled up in front of the wintersweet tree, imitating the shapes of stars and Chichi. It was obvious that they were Jian Jingchuan's handiwork. Xu Qinghuan put the two children on the ground and let Lan Yin play with them while she took charge of tidying up the house.

To save trouble, Jian Jingchuan moved directly into the first courtyard, occupying two rooms in the east wing: a study and a bedroom.

The main room is a large hall used to entertain guests.

Xu Qinghuan and Jiang Xingye lived in the third courtyard, while the two elders lived in the main courtyard of the second courtyard.

Jiang Xinglan and Jiang Xingmei moved directly into the east and west wing rooms of the second courtyard, saving them the trouble of occupying the courtyard of the fourth courtyard.

The side room had long been converted into a bathroom, equipped with a toilet, bathtub, and shower, making it very convenient to use.

The east wing of the second courtyard has three rooms in total, with an adjoining room next to it. The mother and daughter each have a bedroom, and the central room is used for living.

Jiang Nanyin's room has a small four-poster bed, a dressing table against the wall, and a small study separated by a screen. The desk faces the window, and there is an exquisite antique display shelf behind it.

She stroked every piece of furniture inside, and said in disbelief, "Mom, are we going to live here from now on?"

"Yes, do you like it?" Jiang Xinglan asked, hugging her daughter.

"I love it, I love it so much." Jiang Nanyin nestled in her mother's arms. "Mom, I will study hard in the future, and I will buy you such a beautiful house in the future."

"Okay!" Jiang Xinglan said with tears in her eyes.

She was actually very happy living in Shangjiang Brigade, but no matter how well her parents and brothers protected her, it couldn't change the fact that she was divorced. Although most people were working hard to make money now, the way the commune members looked at her was still different.

If she's like this, imagine what her daughter would be like.

She didn't need the old lady to persuade her; she was willing to do anything as long as Xu Qinghuan and her husband asked.

She hadn't originally planned to ask for money, but she was very grateful when Xu Qinghuan offered to bring Lan Yin over so that she and her daughter could live a normal life in this unfamiliar place.

From now on, it's good enough that I don't have to live under the strange gaze of the world.

Xu Qinghuan paid her a monthly salary of 40 yuan. She felt uneasy taking it, but the old lady told her to take it. If she didn't, Xu Qinghuan would feel uneasy.

The kitchen was located in the first courtyard.

The west wing was originally a small flower hall, perfect for dining.

The old man and woman had to walk through the hallway to eat.

"What's there to be afraid of? Walking a little more is good for your health. You can still walk along this covered walkway even on rainy or snowy days. We can talk about this when we can't move anymore." The old lady was extremely satisfied with the house.

Jiang Xingye was quite smug as he walked with the old lady, saying, "Once the ground thaws, we'll clear out the land in the back building area. You two can plant vegetables there, and we can plant flowers in front. In a couple of days, I'll take you two to the flower and bird market to find some nice birds to hang under the eaves..."

"Dad, I want one too!" Jiang Xingcan said, looking up. "I want to raise birds too, and I want to raise a big tiger."

"The giant tiger eats people!" Jiang Chijing warned her.

"I won't eat it. Be my mount, just like Brother Qingxiao."

The things from Shangjiang Brigade's home, including Qingxiao and Xu Qinghuan, were all brought into the space, but since they hadn't been officially registered, they couldn't be taken out.

However, Qingxiao's wife, the silver wolf in the space, gave birth to a litter of puppies that look almost like dogs. After they turn one month old, Xu Qinghuan can take two of them out to raise as guard dogs.

“Okay, I’ll give you and your brother a big tiger each later,” Jiang Xingye said.

He continued to paint a picture for the elderly couple, saying, "When the weather is nice, go for a stroll. Houhai Park is right next door. Every day, people practice Tai Chi, walk their birds, play chess, and chat. There are so many people there. You might even run into one of your comrades."
