Jiang Qiyue stood on a chair to wash vegetables, while Jiang Baohai heated a pot and boiled water. After washing a large bowl and two small bowls, they waited for the water to boil before cooking the vegetables.

Gao Qinghe sat at the dining table, watching the father and daughter busily prepare a bowl of tomato, egg, and vegetable noodles for her.

"The last time you made noodles for me was a thing of the past."

Jiang Baohai asked doubtfully, "Has it been that long? Then quickly try it and see if it still tastes the same as before."

Gao Qinghe eagerly picked up a mouthful of noodles, took a bite, and nodded repeatedly in satisfaction, "Not bad!"

Jiang Qiyue struggled to grip the long chopsticks with her small hands, aimed her mouth at the rim of the bowl, and shoveled the noodles into her mouth, successfully getting a big mouthful.

She imitated her mother, puffing out her cheeks and mumbling, "Bucuo, Bucuo."

Jiang Baohai even began to doubt whether his noodle-cooking skills had improved again.

I took a bite with some skepticism, and hey, I'm a fucking genius!

After finishing their noodles, Jiang Baohai took his daughter to take a bath, while Gao Qinghe emptied the contents of her suitcase and sorted them out.

The mailed items are still on their way and will probably arrive the day after tomorrow. In addition to the family's recent changes of clothes and pajamas, the suitcases contain gold jewelry and cash that Gao Qinghe has bought over the years.

The safe in the new home is a large, built-in cabinet connected to a custom-made wardrobe, with a hidden door that blends seamlessly into the wardrobe.

In recent years, the couple has always kept 300,000 yuan in cash on hand, which is used for daily social interactions and expenses.

Gao Qinghe is already tired of buying gold jewelry, and now with the gold bars, the total weight is three kilograms.

These days, it's troublesome to withdraw money from the bank. Having cash and gold on hand makes it very convenient to use them whenever needed.

A safe that can hold three million in cash, this stuff only takes up a tiny corner of it.

Gao Qinghe discovered that she may have been materially satisfied in her previous life.

After being reborn, she surprisingly had little interest in jewelry.

Of course, it's also possible that Qingxian County is too small and there's nowhere to buy jewelry.

There are shopping malls in the provincial capital. I'll go shopping there another day. If I make money but don't spend it, it's just a piece of paper.

Even if she doesn't want to buy it, she can still buy some for Jiang Qiyue to wear and play with.

This little guy is starting a brand new life.

On second thought, given the poor security situation these days, it's safer for children to dress discreetly.

After thinking about all sorts of random things, Gao Qinghe finally decided to spend more money on knowledge, health, and youth.

Apart from these three things, everything else is external.

Jiang Qiyue, wrapped up in a ball by her father, ran out of the bathroom.

"Why isn't your hair dry?" Gao Qinghe turned her head and asked into the bathroom.

Jiang Baohai replied, "I didn't buy any, let it air dry naturally."

The door was locked from the inside. The elderly father, who had been sweating profusely while bathing his child, took a refreshing cold shower.

Gao Qinghe knew that someone had poured cold water on the bathroom glass door again when she saw that there was no water vapor coming out.

He said irritably, "Jiang Baohai, do you have a death wish?"

As soon as he finished speaking, mist began to rise.

Jiang Qiyue followed suit, saying, "I don't want to live long enough."

She looked up at her mother and said, "Mom, we want to take a hot bath, right?"

"Yes, cold water can make you catch a cold and is bad for your health."

Gao Qinghe reiterated the importance of taking a hot bath, took the towel off her daughter, and thoroughly dried her hair.

Jiang Qiyue's little face was pulled so hard by her mother that it looked ugly every now and then, but when she saw her mother earnestly helping her dry her hair, her little fists that had been resisting finally drooped down. Sigh, she had already tried her best, so let's forgive her.

Fortunately, it was short hair, and it dried almost completely in no time.

Gao Qinghe was still having a headache when she glanced at Jiang Baohai, who was coming out of the bathroom with his short, neat hair tossing.

"The first thing I'll do tomorrow is buy a hairdryer!" Jiang Baohai said hurriedly. The bathroom door slammed shut; Gao Qinghe was annoyed that she couldn't wash her hair.

After taking a shower, Gao Qinghe looked at her thick, wavy hair in the bathroom mirror, scratched the ends of her hair, and seriously considered whether she should change to a short hairstyle.
After thinking about it, I realized that it wasn't easy to grow my hair long for so many years, so I'm a little reluctant to give it up for now.

After the initial excitement of arriving at her new home faded, Jiang Qiyue was afraid to sleep alone. As soon as her mother came out, she clung to her, acting like her little shadow, until she herself fell asleep. Then she reached out for her father to hug her.

Jiang Baohai didn't even need to coax him for half a minute before the little guy had already fallen asleep, nestled obediently in his father's arms, unusually well-behaved.

"I'll drive to the mall tomorrow and buy what I need."

After applying face cream, Gao Qinghe climbed into bed, turned off the light, and lay down.

Jiang Baohai moved his daughter to the edge of the bed, covered her with a small blanket, moved closer to his wife, wrapped his long arm around her, and stretched his hand in front of her.

Gao Qinghe snatched it away and glared at him warningly.

Jiang Baohai chuckled softly, then grabbed her hand and placed it on his body. "I've recently developed six-pack abs. Feel them."

Gao Qinghe has a hard time preventing the corners of her mouth from turning up.

The couple fooled around shamelessly for a while before finally going to sleep.

One of the buildings is right next to the road, and at night you can hear the sound of cars passing by.

Gao Qinghe didn't sleep well on her first night in her new home.

Having grown accustomed to the tranquility and darkness of the countryside, it took me a while to adjust.

The traffic noise isn't actually that loud; you can't hear it at all with the windows closed.

However, the temperature in the provincial capital is a bit lower than in the county town, and the night breeze is very comfortable, so I don't want to turn on the air conditioner at all.

With the curtains open, the city's light pollution streamed into the room, making it difficult for Gao Qinghe to fall into a deep sleep, as it wasn't completely dark.

Jiang Baohai didn't sleep well either. The couple looked at each other's tired appearance and couldn't help but smile.

The ideal city life I imagined doesn't seem to be so wonderful after all.

Of course, city life also has its advantages.

There are several breakfast shops outside the community, and any one of them tastes great.

After having breakfast at the store, the family of three headed to the mall for a big shopping spree.

We bought all the food, drinks, and other daily necessities we needed at once.

We spent the whole morning shopping, and the three of us had lunch at the mall at noon.

In the afternoon, the couple took Jiang Qiyue to register for kindergarten, which was less than 100 meters away from the community.

On the way back, I took the opportunity to complete the check-in procedures for the mother and daughter at the property management center, including access control registration.

We had dinner at a restaurant near our neighborhood, and then the three of us took a walk home, ending a fulfilling day.

The package arrived early the next morning.

Jiang Baohai carried everything up by himself in one trip, and the family of three spent half a day tidying up.

Jiang Qiyue had been eyeing the swimming pool downstairs from her balcony for a long time.

She kept asking her mother if she had found her swimsuit yet.

After Gao Qinghe and Jiang Baohai finished putting everything away, they finally found a small floral swimsuit that had been hidden away at the bottom of the trunk.

Because it was impossible to buy a one-piece swimsuit in the size of a three-year-old in the county town, Qi Lianxin bought the fabric and made one for her granddaughter herself.

Jiang Qiyue loved the red floral onesie with a ruffled hem at the waist the most, because all the other children were naked, but she had a swimsuit.

Every time Gao Qinghe took her back to the village, she would tell her mother to bring a swimsuit.

Once the clothes were found, Jiang Qiyue couldn't wait to urge her parents to take her downstairs.

Just as Jiang Baohai opened the door, the sky suddenly darkened and rain began to pour down.

Jiang Qiyue saw her parents stop, pouted, and couldn't hold back, bursting into tears. (End of Chapter)
