I Got Rich in Period Fiction-Chapter 560 - 554: Going Home

He Xiuwen learned from He Xiuyu that the Qiao Family Team’s villa district had been completed, and the Village Chief had invited Qiao Qingyu to return, using official connections.

He said to the couple, "Rongrong has me and Chu Ying here. If you can manage to get away from work, then both of you go back together. If you can’t, Qingyu can take little aunt and Chaoxuan back for a visit. Decide on a day to leave and call me, I’ll arrange your train tickets."

He Xiuwen was always a decisive person in both actions and words.

Chu Ying also learned the news.

She ran to Qiao Qingyu’s office and promised to take good care of Rongrong while Qiao Qingyu was not home.

Qiao Qingyu couldn’t help but laugh and cry a little.

He Xuerong, the little girl with so many schemes up her sleeve, was facing such a pure-hearted stepmother, which made it easy for both of them to get along.

Even if Chu Ying and He Xiuwen had children of their own in the future, it was estimated that there wouldn’t be any significant conflict.

He Xiuyu obviously wanted to return to the Qiao Family Team with her.

But in his case, it was a matter of whether he could arrange his work.

When they went home in the evening, Qiao Qingyu said, "...We can always go back another time. Don’t let this affect your work."

He Xiuyu replied, "I’ve already arranged my work... I’m going to pack my things; we’ll leave tomorrow."

This was indeed fast.

As the times developed and various aspects continuously improved, the train service to North City had added another trip, and the speed had also increased.

Moreover, the country had also started to crack down on road and rail bully practices and the chaos of black-market trading along the railways and on trains.

Even in the hard seat section, it was much cleaner than before.

Of course, there were still many people.

Even with an additional train service, there were still a lot of people traveling.

Upon arriving in North City, someone was sent specially to pick them up.

Three jeeps were arranged.

It was Chaoxuan’s first long trip. With his shiny black eyes, he curiously looked outside at the landscape, which was different from the Northwest, with mountains and forests unique to this region.

Especially the trees here, which were rarely seen in the Northwest.

Lots of pine trees were planted along the road.

Chaoxuan asked his mother which were camphor pines and which were larches?

Qiao Qingyu certainly knew, as she had grown up seeing them and was familiar with them.

However, it was unexpected that this child even knew about camphor pines and larches.

He Xiuyu, sitting beside her, told Qiao Qingyu, "Knowing we were coming to North City, he made me introduce him to the geographical location of North City as well as its vegetation distribution."

Qiao Shengbao, who was driving, was greatly delighted and kept glancing back at the little child seated between him and He Xiuyu and Qiao Qingyu. freewёbn૦νeɭ.com

The child was really handsome, like the children in New Year prints.

And he was so smart too.

He was already acquainted with He Xiuyu, but this was the first time he remembered He Xiuyu formally bringing his wife and child back to the Qiao Family Team.

Qiao Shengbao told Qiao Qingyu that the family was waiting for them.

Chaoxuan thought his uncle, who kept looking back, was really fun.

So he stood up and reached out to grab his uncle’s hair. Qiao Shengbao quickly turned around, his face blooming into a smile, "Chaoxuan, let uncle give you a hug."

Chaoxuan shook his head, "Mom said I have lots of uncles, aunts, brothers, and sisters back in Qiao Family Team."

"Yes, yes, they haven’t met you yet and have been longing to see you."

"Then you’ll be responsible for introducing me to them."

Qiao Shengbao nodded earnestly, "Don’t worry, I won’t miss a single one."

Chaoxuan had never imagined that he would suddenly have so many relatives.

Although there was no snow in North City in October, it was the end of autumn and the beginning of winter. The crops were harvested, and the vast land was visible to the eye, covered with fallen poplar leaves. When the wind blew, the leaves danced in the air, and then you could see people in the Poplar Forest gathering them in sacks.

Chaoxuan was familiar with this. Near their home in the East, the Poplar Forest would shed a lot of leaves in autumn, and then folks from the base would gather them in sacks.

These leaves could be used for heating kang beds.

Further in, a brand new and beautiful rural town unfolded before everyone’s eyes.

Qiao Shengbao was proud and took Chaoxuan in his arms, slinging him onto his neck. Chaoxuan was often carried this way by Li Mingguang, so he was used to it now. His little feet rested against Qiao Shengbao’s chest while Qiao Shengbao held his little hands, running along the clean cement road toward the front.

While running, he shouted, "Grandpa, Grandma, Dad, Mom, Second Uncle, little Uncle, my little aunt and sister, and my brother-in-law are back!"

Inside the clinic, Qiao Ye was tidying up things on the sanitary station swiftly.

A faint smile played on her lips as her little aunt and uncle would be back soon. Dr. Jiang gave her two days off, and she had a lot to say to her little aunt whom she missed quite a bit. To her, her little aunt was not just an elder but also like a close sister.

It was a kind of feeling that was quite different.

Just then the door opened and looking up, Qiao Ye paused for a moment – the one who entered was Qi Feng.

Qi Feng had a plastic bag in his hand, filled with herbs to the brim.

He was smiling brightly, his voice cheerful, "I found these while surveying water conservancy with my colleagues in the mountains and thought of you; they might be useful here so I brought them over."

Qiao Ye smiled and, being busy, didn’t coyly refuse but accepted it graciously, "Brother Qi, just place it on the table, thank you."

After putting the plastic bag filled with herbs on the table, Qi Feng didn’t leave. Instead, he stood with his hands in his pockets, scanning the room, and making conversation for the sake of it, "Dr. Jiang isn’t here, huh?"

It was a rhetorical question; she was the only one in the clinic.

Still, Qiao Ye nodded, "Dr. Jiang went to the county town."

Qi Feng continued, "I heard your little aunt is coming back."

Having finished her tasks, Qiao Ye took off her rubber gloves, washed her hands, and glanced outside the window, "Brother Qi, is there something you need? If not, the clinic is going to be locked temporarily. My little aunt should be arriving home soon."

"...Okay." Qi Feng, with his long legs, quickly left the clinic but didn’t go far and instead stood at the doorway.

After changing, Qiao Ye took her bag, locked the clinic, and turned to see Qi Feng still standing nearby. She smiled at him and headed towards her home.

The man had been behaving like this lately, but she left other thoughts unsaid.

Unexpectedly, Qi Feng caught up again, "I heard your little uncle is also coming?"

Qiao Ye, "..."

Hadn’t they already talked about this?

Although she found it a bit odd, she still nodded earnestly, "Yes, my little uncle is also coming back."

"Chief Engineer He is very capable, and I’m not sure if he has the time but I’d love to consult with him about water conservancy projects."
