413: Secluded countryside
At the main entrance!
Wang Yifan stood at the entrance with them. A cool breeze rushed towards them, carrying the refreshing chill of river water!
He lowered his head and saw that they were still wearing the High Heels they had worn upon arrival!
So, he quietly took out four pairs of slippers from the system space. They were pink, the kind worn in summer!
"Wives, change into these shoes!"
Zhao Lusi and the others turned their heads one after another, looking at him with smiles on their faces, and nodded!
They then changed into the slippers he handed them. Immediately after, he collected their High Heels and put them into the Lingquan Space, placing them by their room door!
The night in the Rural Areas was very quiet. Standing at the entrance, one could hear the sound of flowing water and the chirping of cicadas!
A few solar streetlights illuminated the road at the entrance!
The faint light gave people a sense of security. In the past, there were no streetlights in the village, and one needed a flashlight to walk at night. It was only in recent years that these solar streetlights were gradually installed!
"Husband, it's so quiet!"
Zhao Liying blurted it out subconsciously. Perhaps it was because she was used to calling him that, and she hadn't changed it in time. Fortunately, there was no one around!
Otherwise, it would have been really hard to explain!
"Yeah, that's just how the Rural Areas are, especially in the middle of the year. There's basically no one around. Even if people are at home, they are mostly elderly folks!"
"This kind of life is so relaxing. When I was working before, I got up early every morning and came back very late at night. I haven't been this relaxed in a long time!"
"Hahaha, you won't have to be that busy in the future!"
"Yeah!"
"Let's go. I'll take you for a walk, although there isn't much to see!"
He said with a smile!
It was true; apart from being quiet, there wasn't much in the Rural Areas. There was one other benefit: it didn't cost money. The vegetables eaten were grown by oneself, the rice was grown by oneself, and the meat was raised and slaughtered by oneself. It was completely self-sufficient!
"Husband, look, the moon in the sky is so round!"
Zhao Lusi pointed to the round moon in the sky and said!
Wang Yifan looked up at the moon in the sky. It was indeed very round, and one could even see scattered stars!
"It's really round, but it doesn't seem as bright as before. When I was a child, whenever the moon was full, you didn't even need streetlights; you could see the road clearly!" he suddenly remarked with emotion!
Immediately, they all looked at him!
"Husband, whose house is that?"
Zhao Liying pointed to a house next to Wang Yifan's house and asked!
"That's my uncle's house. They have all gone to Zhejiang Province!"
"Oh, I see!"
"Let's go. I'll take you to see my old family house!"
"Let's go, let's go!"
Tian Xiwei said, bouncing around, very lively!
It made everyone laugh!
Walking on the concrete road in the village, the dim light stretched their shadows. Wang Yifan, Zhao Liying, and IU walked behind, while Tian Xiwei and Zhao Lusi walked in front, bouncing along!
Very cheerful!
"Husband, you are just walking with us in the village like this. Aren't you afraid of being discovered?" Zhao Liying said with a grin!
"There's no one in the village now, and the elderly have all gone to rest early. What is there to be afraid of!"
Although he said that, he was still a bit afraid. Mainly because, even though the village was mostly elderly, there were one or two young people who worked in the nearby town. If they were spotted, then so be it!
"Husband, are there wild animals on the surrounding mountains?" IU asked in korean!
"Yes, there are. Some people even set traps on the mountains. They have caught some, but because they were protected animals, they let them go!"
"There really are?"
"Of course, but they are all small animals. There are basically no large animals!"
Passing through rows of single-story houses, they reached the middle of the village and soon arrived at his old family house. This house was the oldest one in his family; it was built entirely of wood connected by mortise and tenon joints, giving it a strong sense of history!
"Husband, was this wooden house also built by your uncle?" Zhao Lusi ran up to him and asked curiously!
"Yes. My dad had many siblings. He stopped school in the sixth grade when he was young and went out to earn money early on. After I was born, he moved out from his parents' place and used his meager savings to build this house. Later, everyone started building single-story houses, and my parents spent all their savings to build one too! ..."
Wang Yifan told them about his family affairs, and Zhao Lusi and the others listened very attentively!
Actually, they also knew that this was the life of an ordinary family—everything had to be relied on oneself. If Wang Yifan didn't have the system, they might not have fallen in love!
Everything was destined!
In the dark, there was a thread connecting them, guiding them to meet!
Zhao Liying thought to herself, her gaze unconsciously lingering on him, her eyes filled with deep love!
As she watched, she took the initiative to reach out and hold his hand, their fingers interlaced!
Wang Yifan turned his head in surprise, and when he saw her eyes filled with love, the corners of his mouth lifted unconsciously!
Just when he and Zhao Liying and the others were looking around in the wooden house, an old voice came from outside: "Wang Yifan, you're back?"
The voice was familiar, but he wasn't quite sure who it was, so he and Zhao Liying and the others came out of the wooden house!
When he saw who it was, he called out: "Grandma, you haven't rested yet!"
"I heard people talking, so I came out to take a look!"
The person who came was the old woman who lived below his house, who was also his grandmother!
"Grandma, be careful!"
As he said this, he hurriedly walked over to support his grandmother!
"It's fine, you don't need to support me. Yi Fan, who are they?" the old woman looked at Zhao Liying and the others and asked curiously!
"Grandma, I'll help you back, be careful!"
He didn't answer. The main reason was that he didn't know how to explain it. Should he say they were all his partners? That wasn't realistic. If he said Zhao Lusi was his partner, he would have to consider the feelings of Zhao Liying and the others!
It was better not to answer!
To avoid saying the wrong thing!
"Sigh, you child, why did you come back so early this year?"
"Grandma, I just came back to take a look, and I'm leaving tomorrow!"
"Leaving tomorrow?"
"Yeah!"
After Wang Yifan helped his grandmother home, he left without lingering too long, mainly because he was afraid she would keep asking. If she asked again, he would definitely have to answer!
If something went wrong, it would be trouble!
Afterwards, he took Zhao Liying and the others for a walk around the village to digest their food!
By the time he brought Zhao Lusi and the others back home, it was already past 7:50 PM!
After returning home, he had intended to go wash the dishes, but Wang Yifans Mother had already cleaned up the bowls and chopsticks!
"Lu Si, Liying, Xiao Tian, Zhi En, you must be tired, go rest early!"
"Auntie, we aren't tired. Is there anything we can help with?" Zhao Liying spoke up!
Immediately after, Zhao Lusi, Tian Xiwei, and IU also chimed in: "Yes, Auntie, if there is anything we need to do, let us help!"
The more Wang Yifans Mother looked at them, the more she liked them. What good girls they were!
