Transmigration: I Have Storage Space in the Apocalypse-Chapter 450 - 445 Finally Back Home

————-

Mid-Autumn Festival, the big reunion, Zhou Zhenghui was originally unable to come due to work arrangements, but Little Zi’er mentioned:

"Sigh~ Third Brother being in the military has arrangements and can’t come back for the reunion festival, mom is so anxious she’s bubbling at the mouth!"

——Understanding the subtleties of her words, Zhou Zhenghui immediately took it to heart.

Moreover, since he has the support of a prominent family background, nobody at work dared to trouble him excessively. After he was done with his important work and meaningfully attended the feast, he left early and headed straight to the Xie Family.

Being a stranger in a foreign place, and with his third son not returning, when his youngest son learned that Jiang Xiaoying had taken leave to return to her mother’s home for the festival with her daughter, he was utterly dejected, and Zhou Xiuhua had no mind to celebrate Mid-Autumn.

Zhou Xiuhua, seeing that it was already three in the afternoon, thought that the Mid-Autumn would pass bleakly.

Only then did she see her daughter return, and from her learned that her future son-in-law would come later to celebrate Mid-Autumn Festival with the two elders, a smile finally graced the old lady’s face.

She commanded Fifth to buy some fruits and went to prepare the grand dishes herself.

Yan Jinsu saw her mother-in-law finally smiling and smiled as well.

The two little treasures were very well-behaved today, or rather, Little Jiu and Shiyi have always been gentle. They just turned four months old, but their gums were already whitening, looking like little teeth would sprout soon.

This was much faster than the old saying of ’green bean teeth’!

Little Jiu and Xiao Shi were both growing strong; although only four months old, they could sit very steadily without help, managing to flip and roll around by themselves—they were learning to crawl, but their limbs weren’t quite strong enough yet.

Yan Jinsu was not particularly keen on letting them crawl too much, and each sitting session could not last beyond a minute.

Although both treasures were physically strong and evidently smarter than peers their age, this wasn’t why Yan Jinsu liked their advanced development.

Yan Jinsu even did not want the babies to exercise their bodies too early.

However, this idea of hers clearly did not get the approval of the Xie Family.

The family was exceptionally proud of Little Jiu and Xiao Shi’s impressive development.

Their favorite activity was showing off their grandchildren, the twin dragon and phoenix, to the neighbors, boasting how robust and smart they were—

Especially Mr. Xie, who took pride in them the most. Although the old man slightly favored Little Jiu’er, he was equally fond of the smart and adorable Xiao Shi.

Xiao Si and Xiaoqi were also getting older, and naturally cherished love among siblings. After all, with many grandchildren in the Xie Family, if every one of them were to vie for affection, the family could be noisy every day.

The best trait of the Xie children was that they never reached out to take or snatch if adults did not offer. Even if they saw their cousins had something, they only showed envy, not rushing to grab.

Having an exemplary elder brother as a lead, even if the younger brothers and sisters had some slight moods, they were easy to soothe.

Seeing how popular Little Jiu and Xiao Shi were, Xiao Si and Xiaoqi were not jealous that the adults preferred them, but babbled about how could the adults compete with them for playing with the younger siblings!

Indeed, Little Jiu and Xiao Shi were very docile, and unless they were made uncomfortable, they hardly cried!

Ever since Little Jiu, at two and a half months old, learned to call people with ’ah’, he rarely cried.

Xiao Shi was also smart, Yan Jinsu paid great attention to prenatal education when the twins were in her womb, feeling good and positive, the twins had always been very gentle and likable after they were born.

Besides the one incident where Yan Jinsu was kidnapped, the twins hardly ever cried or made a fuss.

Especially after reaching three months old, the twins’ intelligence developed slightly faster; Xiaojiu clearly had the intelligence of a child over two years old, and Xiao Shi also nearly reached the intelligence of a two-year-old.

Xie Jingchen noticed and felt especially fortunate for his ’foresight’.

During the Mid-Autumn Festival, although Xie Jingchen was not present, Zhou Zhenghui was there, and he was very good at speaking and behaving, making Zhou Xiuhua beam with joy, even the ever-reserved Mr. Xie had more wrinkles by his eyes from smiling.

After the Mid-Autumn feast, Zhou Zhenghui proposed that Xie Jingzi should come back to Beijing with him for the New Year.

This proposal received the rational nod of approval from both Xie Tiesheng and Zhou Xiuhua.

After all, the two had been dating for over half a year, and their elders had observed Zhou Zhenghui’s demeanor and believed the relationship was serious; Xiao Zhou repeatedly assured them that the Zhou Family truly harbored no prejudices regarding social status.

This matter was crucial, and Xie Jingzi was extremely nervous about it.

Fortunately, Yan Jinsu kept giving her advice, taught her how to maintain her skin well, and since the sisters-in-law got along nicely, Yan Jinsu generously shared many new clothing designs with her.

Xie Jingzi originally loved making clothes, and with Yan Jinsu’s guidance, she managed to make many garments for herself, her nephew, parents, and uncle, mostly using materials provided by Zhou Zhenghui or privately from Yan Jinsu. After all, everyone has their sources, and Zhou Zhenghui wouldn’t investigate Yan Jinsu over such a trivial matter.

Every individual has their life trajectory, and Yan Jinsu could only remind her little aunt and teach her more ways to handle affairs, hoping she could stand strong and independent no matter where she was.

Setting aside this trivial matter, Yan Jinsu and Xie Tiesheng were recently spending more time at Rongtian Dam.

Seeing that winter was approaching, and the cold weather was unsuitable for planting any crops, Yan Jinsu didn’t plan to grow anything but was making a rough plan for the land she owned.

Then in this plan, she prepared for fertilization or land conditioning; in any case, she must be ready to plant directly when she returned after the New Year.

As the current land management wasn’t strict and loopholes were plenty, Yan Jinsu swiftly secured a seventy-year lease, though the upfront payment was minimal.

The land she obtained was also vast.

It was said to be a mountain, but the large mountain encompassed smaller slopes, and between them, there were mountain streams, small ponds and so forth—an ideal version of Yan Jinsu’s mountain villa.

Although it was a bit far from the military area, Xie Jingchen was physically fit, and once she built the villa’s surrounding wall and constructed a small village farmhouse, tidying up the area would make it a simple yet wonderful spot for the family to vacation in the countryside.

From here to the military area, including all the winding paths, it was just over ten miles. However, if one were to cross mountains and ridges, it actually spanned only about four or five miles in diameter.

With Xie Jingchen’s fitness, if he really wanted to come over quickly, it would take him just about half an hour.

Yan Jinsu felt time passed really fast, as her husband finally concluded his enclosed competition that lasted for half a month, right before November.

The Xie family decided to head back to their hometown for the New Year, Xie Jingzi was to accompany Zhou Zhenghui to Beijing to visit the Zhou family, Xie Jingyang had to wait until January when the students were on holiday because of work commitments.

As for Xiao Si and Xiaoqi’s schooling, well, their agency’s kindergarten simply required a heads-up and they could take a break from school early, it really wasn’t a big deal.

Thus, among the family, it was only the brothers from Xie Jingchen’s side who were the last to leave.
