Chapter 155 Moving
The only way they can repay him is to run the shop well so that Mr. Lin can focus on his business in the city without any worries.
When he returned, he found the small shop still packed with people and bustling with activity.
Lin Dayuan gently stroked the poster in his hand all the way, making a plan in his mind that he would frame it and hang it on the wall after the new store was renovated.
When he arrived home, his family had already packed most of their belongings, including more than ten chicks and five geese, which were clucking and squawking anxiously on the truck.
Only one basket of vegetables was picked from the garden; the rest were left for the villagers.
After the last large iron pot was loaded onto the vehicle, Lin Guiying and the others looked at the old house where they had lived for decades with reluctance.
It was old and dilapidated, with the roof leaking rain from time to time, the cracks in the walls patched up again and again, and drafts coming in from all directions. If you farted inside, the whole yard could hear it.
Yet, it was here that many unforgettable moments took place, carrying so many of their memories.
Lin Xi was the same. In her previous life, she never left Linjia Village until her death. This was her home in both her lives, a place that always made her feel at peace.
As the car drove off, people from all the households stood at their front doors, smiling and waving goodbye.
"Guiying, if you don't have enough geese, come back to the village to buy some!"
"Xiao Xi, study hard. Next time you encounter a fire, don't rush in."
"Dayuan, we'll come to the city to support you when your new store opens!"
"Old Lin, be careful when you're collecting bottles in the city, and keep your distance from cars!"
……
Lin Dayun slowed down the car and responded to each question.
Just as they were about to leave the village entrance, the old village chief, holding the hundred-yuan note in his hand, shouted, "Dayuan! Dayuan! Take the money back! You kid, why are you throwing money away just for borrowing a car!"
"Old village chief, please accept this. Thank you for your care over the years!"
The village chief, panting, followed behind the car but ultimately couldn't catch up. He silently put the money in his pocket.
He had only given Da Yuan's wife two chickens when she was sick, but the whole family still remembered it.
The truck drove out of the village and gradually began to accelerate.
The villagers didn't turn away until the car was out of sight, but the chatter didn't stop.
"Grandma, why did they move away?"
"To accompany your sister Xiaoxi in her studies."
"Sister Xiaoxi is amazing!"
"Yes, she's a child prodigy, the pride of our village."
"Dad, do you think they'll come back? You almost got scammed last time, and it was Xiaoxi who saved us."
"Why come back? The Lin family's young lady is quite capable; she's taken her whole family to the city to enjoy a comfortable life."
"Mom, Xiaoxi is smart, and Dayuan is also very capable; he's expanded his business to the city."
"Yes, I hope their business gets better and better. For the past six months, they've been buying eggs and vegetables from us. They say they're fresh. What family's vegetables aren't fresh? They're taking special care of us."
……
The villagers of Linjia Village had all received favors from the Lin family, so when they saw the Lin family's life getting better and better, they were envious but not jealous at all, and sincerely hoped that this family would go further.
After all, they are surnamed Lin, they came from Linjia Village, and they are the pride of their village.
As the truck drove away from Lotus Town, the village disappeared from view. The Lin family members turned their attention away, and the atmosphere became slightly somber.
Lin Xi changed the subject, "After we're done tidying up, I'll invite Master and Mistress over for a visit, and tomorrow I'll invite Brother Yan Feng and the others over to get acquainted with the place, how about that?"
"Okay, don't forget to send a text message to Xin Xin and Xiao Ning to let them know, so they can find us later."
At this point, Lin Xi became slightly worried, as she had been unable to contact Teacher Yang since being discharged from the hospital and had no idea what had happened.
She knew that Teacher Yang was no ordinary person, but it was precisely because she was no ordinary person that she was worried.
It must be said that her concerns were justified, but she could never have imagined that Yang Qingning was far away in the war-torn country of H, surrounded by a group of mercenaries in a dilapidated warehouse.
Gunshots rang out continuously, but she remained calm and composed, leisurely loading her bullets and saying to the girl beside her, "After I take care of this batch, I'll go back to China. The rest is up to you."
"Boss, is there some urgent matter back home?"
Yang Qingning said expressionlessly, "No, the food in H country is too bad."
The girl standing nearby paused, just because of this? So the boss went back to China because... he was craving something?
"Boss, didn't you say that food is just for filling your stomach and that what you eat doesn't matter?"
Yang Qingning's usually cold face softened slightly, and she unconsciously curved her lips into a smile.
"Once you're done here, I'll take you to try some real gourmet food."
The girl next to him immediately fired a few shots in excitement, and several figures slowly fell down not far away.
"Great! Boss, I'll remember that. If even you like it, it must be delicious!"
Yang Qingning smiled, deftly snapped one person's neck, and said nothing more.
Grandma Lin's cooking is delicious no matter what she makes; it has a unique flavor that even a five-star chef can't replicate.
I haven't seen Xiaoxi in a long time. I wonder if the little girl's hair has grown out yet...
Lin Xi was unloading things from the car when she saw a bag of wigs. Suddenly, she remembered that she had forgotten about her second senior brother. If she didn't tell him about moving to her new house...
Given the seriousness of this matter, I'll probably be cursing myself for a year!
I shuddered at the thought and quickly sent a message.
Lin Dayuan, carrying the time delay device, asked, "Xiao Xi, what are you doing? Where are you going to put that glass dome?"
Lin Guiying carried the solid wood table, saying, "I know it has to be placed together with this table."
Lin Guojun, like a circus performer, had a dozen or so pickling jars hanging on his body and was carrying a large water vat weighing over a hundred pounds in his hand. "Let Xiaoxi arrange her own things later. Let's see where to put this pile of stuff first."
Security guard Wang Lin originally wanted to help move some heavy objects, since the family consisted of elderly people and young children who didn't have much strength. However, upon seeing this scene, he was stunned and speechless.
This, this is too outrageous!
Whose old lady can carry a two-meter-long solid wood table with such ease?
Who would dare to carry over 100 pounds of stuff while jumping around at their age?
As soon as Lin Guiying turned her head and saw Wang Lin, she immediately put on a kind smile and said, "Oh, little Wang, is there something you need?"
Wang Lin said weakly, "I...I'll help you move your things."
"Oh, no need. Our family is strong, we'll move it in no time."
Lin Xi echoed, "Yes, Brother Wang Lin, you should go back first, lest the manager finds out and you get scolded."
Just as Wang Lin was about to say that he had already changed shifts, he saw the little girl jump onto the truck, effortlessly lift a large iron pot, and then nimbly jump off the truck. The whole process was smooth and effortless.
The little girl's face didn't turn red and she wasn't out of breath.
He silently swallowed the words in his mouth, as if he really didn't need his help.
After Wang Lin left, Lin Xi checked the time. "Family, hurry up and move! We'll be there in almost three hours!"
The neighbor was sitting on their balcony drinking tea, wanting to see who the new neighbor was, but ended up spitting out their tea...
This family is not to be trifled with!
