Transmigrated & Triumphant: Defying Destiny's Chosen One-Chapter 573 - 68: Deciding to Move!_4

Yun Baoni put the few eggs she had picked up back into the kitchen, and upon seeing the large jars and pots in the two kitchen rooms, she couldn’t help but feel a headache:

"Da Dan, if these things go on the truck, nothing else will fit. How about this: sell whatever can be sold in the meantime, and just take a little bit of food for yourself."

"These jars and pots, they don’t hold any sentimental value, they can still be sold. Let Uncle Chen handle them, otherwise, they won’t even cover our transportation costs."

"They’re too heavy, take up too much space."

Da Dan’s distress was right there.

He looked at the room filled with an array of large and small treasure pots, feeling very reluctant to part with them. But after calming down—

Well, Baoni made a good point.

He could only say with heavy heart, "Then I’ll pack a couple of pots and collect all my old sauces and pickle juice."

This time, no one stopped him.

...

The kids handled everything efficiently, even though there was much reluctance in their hearts, since moving was inevitable, it was better to prepare early.

Daya was in the storeroom taking inventory of her fabric and sewing materials, realizing all of it could fit into one big box, so these must be brought along!

Including their bed sheets and quilts, they all had to be taken as well.

As for those jars in the kitchen, since selling them wouldn’t get a bad price and they’re too big and heavy, it’s better to deal with them earlier.

All the coal and firewood in the yard, whatever could be gifted or disposed of, should be managed too.

Gu Ping and Gu An had also accumulated considerable assets over the years, but their most treasured possession was still that full box of books.

Needless to mention Yun Baoni, every time over the years, she had raised the little chicks from fluffy cuties to plump grown hens and finally chopped them to eat, her spirit had matured a lot!

Once the decision to move was made, she had already grabbed the wings of the big rooster: "Aunt, let’s kill it for lunch, I raised it myself, it has to be eaten by us."

Great supplement!

Big Rooster: Grr?

Chu River nodded, "Alright, stew it with potatoes."

Gu An thought for a moment, then went into the cellar to sort out their stored dried vegetables and meats. As for the grains, thanks to having a convenient channel like Chen Changhai, they no longer stored so much, but there was still quite a bit. Whatever could be processed would be processed, and only a small portion would be brought along, the rest would be dealt with.

In an instant, the entire place was bustling with activity.

...

Chen Changhai, who was busy packing his luggage at home, suddenly sneezed twice!

He thought to himself: Clearly moving is a good thing, so why does the back of my head feel chilly now?

Only Little Xuan sat alone in the room, feeling lonely. After thinking for a long time, he came out and said, "Then what about me?"

Gu Ping subconsciously replied, "Of course, you come with us—"

Halfway through the sentence, he remembered Little Xuan wasn’t the child Uncle Shi adopted, he just stayed here regularly because his grandfather was unreliable.

But he still sincerely advised:

"You only met your grandfather last month, right? Why not ask if he can also transfer to Beijing and join us."

"Otherwise, you’re so small, going to school here alone would get you bullied."

Little Xuan gave Gu Ping a pained look—

How can there be such a person in this world?

Why are you saying such unpleasant things—who’s small, who’d be bullied? Does he have no brains?

But with the sorrow of parting rising in his heart, Little Xuan could only muffle a response: "I’ll call Grandpa at noon..."

Chu River urged him, "Your grandpa might not be resting at noon either, just make the call now."

Little Xuan hesitated for a moment, then seeing everyone was packing, hurried and dashed out too.

He made the call, and after a long time, Professor Zheng finally picked up—he had clearly taken a break to answer.

"Little Xuan, what’s up?"

His grandson was precociously sensible, and in all these years, the times he initiated the calls could be counted on one hand. After all, reaching him required a connecting call, and there was the waiting back and forth, it really was troublesome.

But Professor Zheng thought to himself, he could focus entirely on his research thanks in no small part to Teacher Xiao Chu, who provided so many ingenious ideas.

Over the years, Professor Zheng’s inventions had come one after another, but he didn’t ask for anything, just requested some materials that outsiders found hard to get, but for them, it only required applying for them.

Teacher Xiao Chu even raised his grandson so well...

Professor Zheng thinking about this, felt once more grateful for his lifesaver, and quietly waited for his grandson’s response.

Little Xuan felt down.

"Grandpa, would you always work at this research institute? Teacher Xiao Chu and the others might be moving to Beijing."

Professor Zheng thought for a moment: "Then you can go with them."

Little Xuan was furious—that old man!

He wouldn’t be entangled if not for him, would he?

Who knew the old man would continue saying: "Ah, actually two years ago the country already asked if I wanted to go to work at the Beijing research institute—I refused, thinking my grandson was living well here."

"Ask Teacher Xiao Chu when they plan to leave? If possible, we can go together."

Little Xuan: ...

He worried for nothing the whole morning!

Honestly, such a big old man, yet so unreliable.

Now he could only sigh helplessly: "Grandpa, we can’t go with you, the confidentiality level is too high."

He knew how much Teacher Xiao Chu contributed to his grandpa’s research over the years.

But... sigh, a scientific mind with a lazy heart.

No choice, he could only help grandpa conceal his great achievements.

Professor Zheng, instead, burst out laughing:

"Little Xuan, grandpa’s luckiest moment in life was meeting your Teacher Xiao Chu; not only did he save our grandfather-grandson duo’s lives, but also took such good care of you!"

Thinking of his now bright and active grandson growing sturdy like a small tree, Old Zheng felt so proud.

"Rest assured and go with them!"

"Don’t worry about grandpa on this side!"
