What would it be like to suddenly find yourself in a deep mountain with the intention of going to a big city?
Li family's three children would definitely tell you, it's exciting!
Li Weihao and his brother had no good impression of their grandmother, and Li Weili had no memory of her.
Therefore, their anxious feelings vanished as soon as they entered the Hot Spring Valley.
The Hao brothers took their sister to climb fruit trees and pick fruit.
They took their sister to weave grass nets to block fish at the gap below the lake.
Then they rode on Little Black and the others to play.
They completely unleashed their childlike nature.
Tian Jing stayed by the children's side, letting them run wild.
She even taught them how to cook for themselves. The three siblings were full of interest and didn't feel lonely at all.
During the day, when the children napped, Tian Jing would chat with Xiao Song.
At night, when the children slept, she would lie on a lounge chair, gaze at the stars in the sky, and chat with Xiao Song.
The days were pleasant and beautiful.
Li Zhengguo, on the other hand, was exhausted.
The watermelons had just been planted, and there were many things to do.
The most difficult part was preventing theft.
With his wife and children away, Li Zhengguo stayed up at night guarding the watermelon field.
...
After the watermelons were sold, he packed his bags and prepared to leave.
Mother Li thought her younger son was going to find Tiantian and her three children, and even helped him pack enthusiastically.
She also confided many things she was worried about.
Li Zhengguo agreed to everything one by one.
When the villagers all thought he was going to find his wife, he boarded a train to the capital.
During these three months, he had thought a lot while alone in his empty room.
Although Tiantian was pregnant with his fourth child, she still held a grudge, which also bothered him.
Especially after Lu Xiaoyun appeared in his dream of transmigration, he felt a deep sense of guilt towards Tiantian.
This was tormenting.
Therefore, he suppressed his longing and went directly to the capital.
Only after resolving everything could he face Tiantian with a clear conscience.
Li Zhengguo's sudden arrival surprised Lu Xinggang greatly. "Weren't you very busy?"
"Just finished being busy."
Li Zhengguo threw down his luggage. "How is the acquisition of the courtyards going?"
Lu Xinggang sat opposite him. "We've acquired half of them. For the other half, many are old neighbors who are unwilling to leave."
Li Zhengguo knew how difficult it was to acquire old alleys in the capital.
"Proceed slowly, maintain a gentle attitude, and don't arouse any aversion. Don't cause any trouble, or it will be difficult to explain to the government, and you will be reported for malicious land grabbing."
Lu Xinggang nodded. "I understand. Aren't you in a hurry? Besides, I've leased out all those courtyards, so it's generating some income."
Hearing this, Li Zhengguo's eyes narrowed. "Xinggang, let me see all the property deeds."
"Okay, wait a moment."
Lu Xinggang went out for a while and came back with a bag. "They're all here. Now that you're here, we can transfer all the property deeds to your name. Having them under my name makes me too anxious."
Li Zhengguo flipped through the property deeds, wondering if he should register a company to avoid transferring them all to Lu Xinggang.
Then he thought about his friendship with Lu Xinggang. If he couldn't trust their life-or-death camaraderie, who could he trust?
"There's no rush for this. When my wife arrives, we'll transfer them to her name."
But Lu Xinggang was anxious.
"When is sister-in-law coming? The biggest reason for my anxiety is that I don't know how relatives and friends found out I bought so many courtyards."
"They keep coming to me to borrow money or ask for a place to stay. I can't hold on much longer."
Li Zhengguo looked up at him. "Didn't you say you were doing this for a friend?"
"I did, but they didn't believe me."
Lu Xinggang looked helpless. "It wasn't until last month when I received a remittance slip from Pengcheng that I showed it to them one by one, letting them know I was indeed doing this for a friend, and only then did they leave me alone."
Li Zhengguo asked casually, "What do your family members think about this?"
"My family?" Speaking of his family, Lu Xinggang's expression softened.
"They're quite happy and feel it's prestigious. Plus, I get an extra salary, so they're supportive."
"Sometimes, when there's news about a property, and I can't leave work, my dad even comes over to help me check it out and stabilize the seller's emotions."
Li Zhengguo appeared to be thinking. "I remember you have more than one son in your family, right? If your dad comes to help, do your siblings have any objections?"
Lu Xinggang threw a punch at him. "Whose family situation are you mistaking for mine? There are only me and my brother in my family, I don't have any sisters."
Huh?
Li Zhengguo was suspicious. In his memory, he had no impression of Lu Xinggang's family at all.
When they were in the army, they mostly talked about their parents and rarely mentioned siblings.
People who inquired about others' families were usually interested in them and wanted to pair their sisters with them.
"Do you have any cousins?"
"What for?" Lu Xinggang leaned back. "Are you, are you thinking of expanding outside? I'm telling you, I look down on people like that, you..."
"What nonsense are you talking about?"
Li Zhengguo interrupted him impatiently. "I'm just asking casually. Didn't you also say my memory is confused?"
"I'm just asking to see where the confusion lies."
Lu Xinggang looked relieved. "It's good that it's like this, otherwise, I would have gone on strike."
Li Zhengguo glanced at him sideways. "When you see that sister-in-law, you'll know your worries were unnecessary. Please help me clarify."
"If I had known, I would have met her two years ago."
Lu Xinggang grumbled, and seeing Li Zhengguo glare, he quickly got back to business.
"No, let alone cousins, we don't even have any elder female cousins. Our Lu family is known for producing boys."
Producing boys is good.
Li Zhengguo's lips curled up. He wouldn't make a mistake with his most trusted brother, and he certainly wouldn't make a mistake with others.
"Since you're worried, I'll take these property deeds back first. Come on, take me to see the acquired courtyards."
Lu Xinggang found the change in his comrade's mood rather inexplicable.
However, it was good that his mood had improved. Just now, he had almost thought he would lose this job.
...
When Tian Jing saw her husband, who was dressed like a wild man, she almost didn't recognize him.
"You? Why aren't you calling out to Little Black?"
Li Zhengguo, who had climbed for four days and four nights, grinned happily.
"Tiantian, I haven't wronged you. There is no such person as Lu Xiaoyun."
Tian Jing was surprised. "You went to the capital?"
Li Zhengguo nodded. "Yes, I've been avoiding it for long enough. If I don't go, I'll feel suffocated."
"I only went for a day before returning in a hurry, and I've brought back all the property deeds."
Taking the handbag from her husband, Tian Jing held her breath in disgust.
"Go take a shower quickly, and we'll talk later."
While her husband was showering, Tian Jing grabbed the three children who were playing with Little Black and threw them into the hot spring as well.
Carrying the handbag, Tian Jing went up to Qing Songyan and told Xiao Song what her husband had said.
"Xiao Song, what do you think is the reason?"
Xiao Song didn't know either. "In my memory, after the master went to Mist Valley, he would be in a daze for several days upon returning."
"During that daze, he would sigh or groan, and sometimes laugh to himself."
"Then why didn't you say so earlier?"
"Is this important?"
"Very important!"
After experiencing the falseness of the transmigration dream, Tian Jing became even more wary of Mist Valley.
Mist Valley sounded like it was full of difficulties.
However, looking back now, the things she encountered were not difficult.
For example, Xiao Song knew how to use bloodlines. Perhaps, in ancient times, these were basic common sense.
And behind this basic common sense, Mist Valley, apart from affecting one's sense of direction when it was foggy, had no other issues.
For her and her husband, there was no great danger.
Not to mention the clear skies after direct sunlight?
For her and her husband, the biggest difficulties and dangers were suspicion.
Because of the suspicion of their third son.
The danger of their feelings being affected due to lingering doubts.
