Although Zhang Ermu's presence is not noticeable due to his dull personality, he is a generous and diligent person. He was willing to help villagers if they needed to get to or from the city. His wish is simple, he hopes that one day, if he needs help, others will help him just like he helps others.
So, when Li Chenze ca to him to borrow a bullock cart, he readily agreed. As for paynt, he didn't even think about it. If people gave him sothing to thank him for, he would accept it. If not, then a simple thank you will do.
After they loaded their things, Li Chenmo put a big bamboo basket in the cart and said, "Brother Zhang, my second brother is leaving for a long ti, and there is no one to look after the garden. These vegetables are for you and your family."
Looking at the basket full of vegetables, Zhang Ermu nodded and said, "Thank you, Brother Li."
When Li Lingyun and Pan ijia boarded the bullock cart, Zhang Ermu whipped the bullock and the bullock cart drove slowly.
After they left, Li Chenze and Li Chenmo locked the door and returned to their hos.
At the sa ti, at the city's railway station, Su Jian and her family finally got off the train. It took them two days to get the docunts from the governnt to move their residency to Xie Village. Afterwards, they traveled for more than 20 hours before finally arriving.
Su Jian carried several big bags, looked at her parents and said, "Father, my cousin said he would co to pick us up. So, let's wait for him at the entrance."
Su Lide looked at his daughter's pale face and asked, "Ah Ying, do you want to take a rest first?"
Su Lanying looked at the sky and knew that if she took a rest first, it would be dark by the ti they reached Xie village. So, she smiled at her father and said, "Father, I'm fine. We shouldn't keep my cousin waiting for too long."
Seeing that she had no difficulty breathing, Su Lide said, "Then let's go."
Because her sister's body was weak, Su Jian didn't let her carry anything. So, it was his father and himself carrying their big bags while his mother carried the smaller bamboo basket.
Since their family declined, he has beco accustod to doing heavy work and gaining muscles. If he still has the sa body constitutions as before, he might not even have the strength to move things let alone carrying so many big bags.
Since they were not visiting but moving into Xie Village, the police officers needed to check their docunts. So, it took them twenty minutes to complete the formalities and leave the train station.
When they ca to the entrance, they saw Houzi waiting for them. He was standing next to a bullock cart and talking to Li Lingyun.
Seeing them coming, he said, "Boss Ling, that's my second uncle."
When Su Jian ca over with his family, his eyes lit up when he saw Pan ijia. It had been several years since he last saw her. The little girl he rembered had grown into a beautiful girl. As soon as his eyes moved, he saw the man standing next to his cousin was looking at him with deep eyes.
Not noticing the strange tension in the air, Su Lide walked over and hugged Houzi while saying, "Ah Jun, you have grown up!"
After his father passed away, Houzi was taken care of by Su Lide. He was the father figure in his life and it made him happy to see him again. He hugged his uncle for a while and said, "Second uncle, this is my maternal cousin, Pan ijia. She once visited you when she was a little girl."
Seeing her, Su Lide thought of the little girl and said, "Jiajia, I haven't seen you for a long ti. You have grown into a beautiful girl."
"Second uncle, second aunt, cousins," Pan ijia greeted them.
ng Qiaoping looked at Li Lingyun and asked curiously, "Jiajia, who is this man?"
"Second aunt, this is my boyfriend, Li Lingyun," Pan ijia introduced him with a smile.
Li Lingyun nodded to them and greeted them politely, "Second uncle, second aunt, cousins."
Su Lide and his family were surprised to hear him address them so intimately on their first eting. They were so shocked that they could only stare at him with wide eyes.
Before they could co back from their surprise, Pan ijia added, "Second aunt, today Brother Yun and I are going to visit my parents. So, we can't stay too long. We will visit you when we co back later."
Houzi took out his pocket watch, checked the ti, and said, "You should leave now, otherwise you will be late."
Since they were in a hurry, Su Lide's family said a few words and let them go.
Looking at their backs, Su Jian said, "I didn't expect that my cousin would et such a handso man in Xie village."
He glanced at his sister and said, "I wonder if there are any good n out there left."
Su Lanying knew that her brother wanted to find a man for herself, so she said, "Brother, you'd better find a sister-in-law first."
Realizing that the children were about to quarrel again, ng Qiaoping quickly interrupted them, "Okay, let's not stand here blocking other people's roads."
Houzi nodded, helped them load their things into the cart, and sat in the front seat. Su Lide and Su Jian were sitting in the front, while ng Qiaoping and Su Lanying were sitting in the cart.
Although a bullock cart moves slower than a tractor, a bullock cart has more space. Therefore, they can still sit comfortably even with their belongings.
On the way back to Xie village, Su Lide asked, "Ah Jun, how have you been these past years? I heard from Brother Zhou that you ca to our place a few days ago. Are you still working for them?"
