Reborn before the famine, kicking away the scumbag's family and living a carefree life.

Chapter 256 Persuasion

"Take a plane! It only takes three hours, and Mom and Dad can take a few more days off. They can save the rest of their leave for the Lunar New Year holiday."

"No, your grandfather is old and in poor health. He can't handle the hassle of traveling by plane and ship."

“I heard from Anxin that there was a soldier’s mother on the island who had a very serious asthma that would relapse every winter, making her life miserable and extremely tormented. Once, she went to the island to visit her son in winter and her asthma did not flare up. After that, every winter she would go to stay with her son on the island and her asthma never flared up again.”

"Grandpa's cough and Grandma's rheumatism might heal themselves without medicine once we get to the island, just like that soldier's mother did!"

"Don't try to fool me, there's no such thing as a miracle."

"Really, if you don't believe me, ask An Xin. You should believe An Xin's words, right?"

An Xin said, "It's true, Grandma. Many diseases are actually more likely to occur in cold conditions. If you go to a warm place, because there is no trigger, the disease is less likely to occur. There's nothing magical about it."

"Actually, during the Chinese New Year, as long as the family is together, it is home no matter where we are. My parents have lived there for so many years. Don't you want to go and see the place where they live, work, and develop? I think it is a miracle that they have transformed such a barren island into such a beautiful island as it is today. With my imagination, I simply cannot do it."

Grandpa Luo, who had been silent all along, spoke up at this moment: "Ah Jie was willing to give up a big city like Beijing and go to a deserted island. He just wanted to make something of himself. Now that it's basically completed, let's go and take a look. It can be considered as an affirmation of his achievements."

Luo Xingguo clapped his hands happily.

"Grandpa, does that mean you've agreed to spend the New Year on Qiongzhou Island?"

“You keep talking so sweetly, just trying to convince us to spend the New Year there! Anxin is right, as long as the family is together, wherever we spend the New Year is home. Your third uncle's home is also our home.”

"Oh! That's great! We can go to Qiongzhou Island for the Chinese New Year this year."

Just as Su Jinru had predicted, once they persuaded her grandparents, the others would naturally listen to them as well.

The Luo couple told their two sons about their plan to spend the Chinese New Year on Qiongzhou Island and instructed them to make the necessary arrangements.

The two sons naturally followed their parents' wishes.

They each discussed it with their wives.

Wang Shuqiong and Liu Yi had naturally heard about the various praises Luo Xingguo received after going to Qiongzhou Island. They were also curious as to how someone as shrewd as their brother-in-law and Su Jinru could enjoy life so much on a small island like Qiongzhou Island.

With Yuan Wenjie's abilities and connections, he could be transferred back at any time, but he just prefers to stay on that island and refuses to come back.

They wanted to see what magic the island possessed that made them willing to stay there rather than go to the capital, a place others would fight tooth and nail to get to.

Therefore, Luo Shaoan and Luo Shaoping made arrangements in advance, saving up all their vacation days for the Spring Festival, accumulating more than ten days of leave.

Wang Shuqiong and Liu Yi also applied to their work units in advance for leave during the Spring Festival, and even asked to take a few extra days off.

Luo Qiangguo and Luo Jianguo are still in the army and cannot go home for the Spring Festival.

The family made preparations several months in advance to spend the Chinese New Year on Qiongzhou Island.

Su Jinru also knew in advance that the Luo family was coming to the island for the New Year. She cleaned up the house closest to them in the family area, which was the empty house where Commander Liu and Wang Xiuying had lived before, and planted some flowers and plants in it.

She had planted these flowers and plants in her space beforehand, and then transplanted them. With the blessing of the spiritual water, they grew lush and vibrant in just a few months.

Su Jinru's house is the largest and most spacious, with five rooms. Su Jinru and Yuan Wenjie share a room, An Xin and An Ran each have a room, Lan Jie has a room, and there is also a guest room, which also serves as a study. Su Jinru cleaned it up for the Luo couple to stay in.

Luo Xingguo continued to live in An Ran's room.

Commander Liu's house was relatively small, with three rooms.

Su Jinru cleaned up two of the rooms and laid out new quilts and sheets.

The Luo family arrived as promised the day before Lunar New Year's Eve. They flew directly to Nanshi, and Yuan Wenjie personally drove to the airport to pick them up.

When the family got off the plane at 11 a.m., a wave of heat hit them.

Wang Shuqiong unconsciously unbuttoned her thick cotton-padded coat.

"The temperature here is really high."

Luo Xingguo: "From a place where it's minus eight or nine degrees Celsius to a place where it's up to twenty-seven degrees Celsius, do you think that's a huge temperature difference?"

After walking a few steps, the group looked at the scorching sun overhead and realized they couldn't bear to wear their cotton-padded clothes any longer.

"Take it off, take off your coat, otherwise you'll get sick from being all stuffy."

Everyone took off their cotton-padded coats, but they were still hot because they were still wearing cotton-padded trousers.

Liu Yi: "It feels like we've suddenly gone from winter to summer."

Yuan Wenjie spotted the family from afar and drove up to them.

"Mom and Dad, eldest brother and sister-in-law, second brother and sister-in-law, Xingguo, Anxin."

"Ajie!"

Yuan Wenjie got out of the car and helped them load their luggage into the jeep. Yuan Wenjie had specially driven an eight-seater jeep with a hood today.

"Hurry up and get on the bus! It's a bit crowded, please bear with us, we'll be at the pier in about 30 minutes."

Upon arriving at the dock, Yuan Wenjie's car, as usual, drove directly from the deck onto the ship.

The ship had sleeper berths, and Yuan Wenjie reserved the five best rooms: one for the Luo couple, one for his eldest brother and sister-in-law, one for his second brother and sister-in-law, one for Yuan Wenjie and his nephew Xingguo, and one for An Xin.

Once on the ship, it wasn't so hot anymore, but the cotton-padded trousers were still too hot to wear. Luckily, before they came, Su Jinru had repeatedly called to remind them to bring two sets of summer clothes: a shirt and trousers.

Bringing two sets of summer clothes in the freezing winter seems a bit redundant, but once you arrive here, you realize they're actually quite fitting.

Everyone felt much more comfortable after changing into summer clothes. Getting out of the heavy cotton-padded coats made everyone feel much lighter and more comfortable.

Grandpa Luo and Jiang Yuting sat on the soft bed in their cabin on the ship, looking at the vast sea and feeling the sea breeze. They felt relaxed and comfortable.

Grandpa Luo smiled and said, "My grandson is right. Putting everything else aside, the climate here is indeed quite comfortable."

Jiang Yuting sighed, "Speaking of which, we've been holed up in Beijing for so many years, it really is time to come out and see the world."
