Chapter 173 The Grandparents Are Here

The rice seedlings in the fields are green and growing well. It looks like this year will be another bumper year.

The two of them walked slowly to the private school in the village. They heard the sound of reading from afar. The school had been greatly expanded. An old man nearby saw Biyue.

She said to him happily, "Yue girl, your family is now prosperous and wealthy, but you have not forgotten your roots and have done a lot of good things for the village. Look at this wide and smooth road, which was also built with your family's money, as well as the private school.

Your family has also spent a lot of money to expand it. Children from several surrounding villages have come to our village to study. In the past, there was only one teacher in the private school, but now there are four or five teachers teaching the children. I heard that the teachers' quick revisions were all paid for by your family. Our village is now famous because of you.

Thanks to you and your Chen family, we now have enough food to eat, our children can go to school, and my eldest grandson is working in your workshop. I am very grateful to your family."

The old man talked a lot, all of which were about thanking him and his family for their contributions to the village.

"Grandpa, only when the villagers live well, the Chen family's efforts are worth it. We are all from the same village. It doesn't matter if only our family is rich. What's important is that everyone can live a good life."

"You Chen family are so kind and righteous! It's a blessing for our family that I can live in this village. You two can go for a walk. I'm going to get busy."

"Yue'er, it seems that your family is not only famous in the village, but also loved by the villagers, because everyone in the village has been favored by your family. Looking at the smiles on everyone's faces, I am happy for your family and the villagers."

The two went to the fields to have a look, and introduced Luo Chen as they walked. When she was five years old, she ran out and saw her father and others busy in the fields. Because she was the only girl in the family, the whole family spoiled her and she didn't do any farm work at home.

Later, when he followed Doctor Lin to study medicine, he didn't need to help anymore. His mother helped him wash his clothes. When he was ten years old, his family's conditions improved a little, so he went to the nameless island again. The two of them walked around the village while talking, and when it was almost noon, they headed back.

As soon as they reached the door, they heard the sound of many people talking inside. When they walked in, they saw a lot of people coming, including grandma's family and two uncles.

The two uncles were standing outside the door and just happened to see the two people walking in. Although Bi Yue had changed a lot now, they still recognized her from her eyes and eyebrows. The two uncles were very happy.

The eldest uncle shouted happily, "Biyue, my niece is back. I haven't seen her for a few years. She has changed a lot. Now she is Princess Rong'an of Changping State. Your grandma and grandpa knew about this, and the whole family was very happy. This morning, your father went home to inform us that you were back and took us over for a feast. The whole family was busy packing up and drove the ox cart over."

The uncle also said excitedly, "Our Biyue is becoming more and more promising. Not only is she the Princess Rong'an of Dachang, but there is no woman prettier than my niece in this area, or even in the entire Ning'an County. The uncle is so happy."

Bi Yue introduced her two uncles, "Uncles, this is my fiancé Han Luochen. He came back with me. This time, I am going to bring my grandparents back to the capital to live and see the world. After a lifetime of hard work, it's time to enjoy a peaceful life.

I would like to invite my grandma, grandpa, and two uncles to come to Beijing to attend my engagement party. You can also do business in Beijing or help me with things.

You can discuss it. Don't worry about food and accommodation. I plan to open an auction house in Beijing and need a lot of manpower. If you are willing to help me, that would be even better."

The two uncles immediately looked at the handsome man next to them. The eldest uncle walked over, patted Luo Chen on the shoulder and said,

"You are a very energetic young man, very handsome, and worthy of my niece. Not bad, not bad. Uncle is very satisfied. You are very lucky."

The younger uncle also came over and said to him, "Brother is right, this boy is very lucky to marry my Biyue."

"My two uncles are right. It is my blessing to meet Yue'er in this life. I will treat her well for the rest of my life and will never let her down."

At this time, grandma and grandpa in the main room heard their two sons calling Biyue outside, and they hurried out.

Bi Yue walked up quickly and hugged her grandma, "Grandma, Grandpa, I missed you so much. Today I finally returned to my hometown and sent Dad to pick you up."

Grandma wiped her tears and called affectionately, "My Yueyue, I haven't seen you for several years. You are getting more and more beautiful. If I meet you on the road, I am afraid I won't recognize you. You won't leave this time? Your grandpa and I are old, and I don't know how long we can live."

Bi Yue wiped the tears from her grandmother's eyes and said to her gently, "Grandma, don't be sad. This time when I come back, I want to take you, grandpa, my eldest uncle, my second uncle, my grandparents, and my parents to live in the capital together, so that we won't be separated."

Grandpa immediately said, "We are both old, and we can't do much in Beijing. We can only eat white rice, and what about the fields at home?"

"Grandpa, don't worry about these things. Sell the fields and houses in the next two days. I have a farm in the capital. Your granddaughter will give you a manor. If you want to farm, you can farm. If you want to play, you can go to the capital to play. I will rent the land to tenant farmers to grow crops.

When you are happy, you can go and take a look. When you are unhappy, just walk around the area with your grandma. Isn’t it nice to enjoy your old age?

The capital is quite far from here, I can't have time to come here to see you, you are getting older, you should enjoy your life, I hope you are by my side, I can take care of you at any time, okay? Grandma and grandpa."

After saying that, she started to act coquettishly in her grandma's arms. Her grandma and grandpa looked at their granddaughter with doting eyes, feeling warm and comfortable in their hearts.

Grandpa thought for a while, then said to grandma, "Old lady, let's agree to our granddaughter's suggestion and go to the capital together. We are both old enough to go to the capital to see the world and accompany our granddaughter. Our two sons will go with us anyway, which is good."

"Grandpa is really far-sighted. Thank you, grandpa and grandpa. I'm so happy that you agreed. After dinner today, I'll sell the land and house tomorrow and move here first. It will be convenient for us to travel together later."

Grandpa took a look at the Chen Family Compound. It has changed a lot in the past few years. Two people in the family have become officials, and the eldest grandson is now a juren. The family is getting better and better. Another large courtyard has been built near the Chen Family Compound. Not to mention Shuwan Village, even the entire Sishui Town is a wealthy and famous village.
