Volume 2: Secret Realm Reincarnation Chapter 225 Family Relocation
Taoyuan Village is not big, and on the second day, the whole village knew that Li Xuanfeng had returned.
The villagers also heard that he had married a very beautiful girl and had a lovely daughter. Every family sent people to Li Xuanfeng's home to say hello and check on him, and they were extremely enthusiastic.
Li Xuanfeng had no choice but to receive everyone politely and answer their various questions. It took him two or three days to completely conclude the matter.
Shen Luoyan didn't care about this matter. On the contrary, Xiao Siyan didn't allow anyone to hug her, so many enthusiastic villagers had to give up helplessly.
Ever since Li Xuanfeng brought Shen Luoyan and Xiao Siyan back, the smiles on Li Tang and Yang Qing's faces have never faded.
Not only did their son return safely, but he also started a family and had children, which made them extremely relieved .
When Li Xuanfeng was teaching little Siyan and she called out "grandpa and grandma" incoherently, the two elders were even more delighted and Yang Qing even hugged little Siyan and kissed her on the face as a reward.
"Si Yan, grandpa and grandma are daddy's parents, and they are the ones who love you the most."
After a few days of explanation by Li Xuanfeng, little Siyan has gotten to know Mr. and Mrs. Li Tang. She is not averse to them and even opens her arms to let them hug her.
In the village, Li Xuanfeng also saw two children who were about the same age as Xiao Siyan. Seeing them crying and being unruly, he felt extremely fortunate that his daughter was very sensible and never cried or made a fuss.
Li Xuanfeng also met his three childhood friends. Sanniu was already married to a girl in the village, and Tiedan also had a partner and was planning to pick a good day to get married. Only Ergou was still single.
Ever since Li Xuanfeng came back, Ergou has been often teased by Tiedan, Sanniu and many villagers these days, saying that he is the only bachelor among the four of them.
"Xiao Feng, I am also going to go outside the village and bring back a beauty like your wife, so that those who laugh at me will become dumb and speechless."
Tiedan said this to Li Xuanfeng with great confidence, and seemed to be extremely angry about this matter.
"It's terrible to be uneducated. It makes you speechless." Tiedan shook his head immediately after hearing his words.
Li Xuanfeng shook his head and smiled, thinking of the experience of leaving the village a few years ago, and a trace of reminiscence appeared in his eyes.
When he went to Xuanling City that year, if he had not met Shen Luoyan and had not had her help, he would probably have been unable to move forward and would have had to make a living by doing hard labor.
In the few days after returning, Li Xuanfeng took his wife and daughter to the river several times, enjoying the cool river breeze and looking at the scenery on the other side of the river.
While sitting by the river, Li Xuanfeng told Shen Luoyan many interesting stories from his childhood, which made her often laugh with her hands covering her mouth.
After Li Xuanfeng came back, Li Tang and Yang Qing had a lot more free time. When they were working in the fields, Li Xuanfeng and three guards joined them.
Li Tang and Li Xuanfeng were originally reluctant to let them help, but the three guards suggested that they do all the farm work so that Li Xuanfeng and his son could have a rest.
Li Xuanfeng treated them very well along the way, without any airs of a master, so they respected him very much and were unwilling to let him work hard.
It is precisely because of this character that Li Xuanfeng is unwilling to let the three guards go to the fields to do farm work. They are guards, not servants.
After several fruitless arguments, both sides finally had to give in and go to work in the fields together. With five people working in the fields, Li Tang's workload was greatly reduced, and it was much easier than before.
Although Li Tang planted a lot more crops after the arrival of Li Xuanfeng and others because he was worried about food shortages, the addition of young people like Li Xuanfeng and the three guards increased the work efficiency several times, giving him more time to rest.
Time passed quickly with the sunrise and sunset in Taoyuan Village, and another year passed in the blink of an eye. At this time, little Siyan's speech was very clear, her steps were steady, and there was a bright light shining in her big eyes.
At this time, little Siyan was already very smart. Not only did she learn to serve tea to her parents, but when she saw Li Xuanfeng and others coming back from work, she would immediately wash the fruit and give it to them.
Even Li Tang and Yang Qing couldn't help but exclaim when they saw Xiao Siyan's behavior: "We have lived for so many years and have never seen such an obedient and sensible child."
"Isn't that because I, as a father, have taught her well?" Li Xuanfeng boasted with his head held high when he heard their admiration for little Siyan.
"You were very noisy when you were a child. You ran around all day and almost turned the whole house upside down." Yang Qing said after rolling his eyes at him. Compared with little Siyan, Li Xuanfeng as a child was the exact opposite.
Hearing Yang Qing's words, Li Xuanfeng touched the back of his head embarrassedly and could only laugh dryly.
Seeing him like this, Shen Luoyan couldn't help but burst out laughing, her eyes narrowed into slits, like delicate crescents.
Once when sitting on a big rock by the river, Shen Luoyan was staring at the rushing river in a trance, and Li Xuanfeng saw a look of longing in her eyes.
Although Shen Luoyan never mentioned this, Li Xuanfeng also knew that she missed home and her parents.
She grew up under the careful care of her parents, and left home for the first time for him, and for such a long time, so it was inevitable that she missed home, just like Li Xuanfeng who was living in Xuanling City at that time.
A few days later in the evening, when the family was sitting at the dining table, Li Xuanfeng brought up something to discuss with them.
"In two years we will leave the village and return to live in Xuanling City."
"Why are you leaving again?" Yang Qing asked anxiously when he heard this. Li Tang also looked at Li Xuanfeng in surprise, waiting for his answer.
They originally thought that Li Xuanfeng would not leave after his return and would stay in the village.
"Dad, Mom, it's not just us who are leaving. This time, you should also leave with us." Li Xuanfeng replied, stating the purpose of his discussion.
After an hour of discussion, Li Xuanfeng told Li Tang and Yang Qing about the agreement he had made with Shen Hua and said a lot of persuasive words before they finally agreed.
Li Xuanfeng knew clearly that his parents agreed to leave the village and go to Xuanling City entirely because of him, because they didn't want to be separated from him.
When they returned to the room to rest, Shen Luoyan hugged Li Xuanfeng's arm, leaned on his shoulder and said with a smile: "So this is why you can make my father agree to the marriage, the surprise you prepared for me."
At that time, Shen Luoyan also knew that her father did not agree to the marriage because he was reluctant to let her follow Li Xuanfeng and leave Xuanling City and leave them, so she was helpless at the time and had no appropriate reason to convince her father.
Unexpectedly, Li Xuanfeng was willing to give up his quiet life in the village for her and take his parents to Xuanling City.
She always knew that the isolated life in the village was what he had always longed for.
After learning about this today, Shen Luoyan was extremely surprised. It turned out that Li Xuanfeng had done so much for her without her knowing.
"Madam, you can ignore your father's opposition and follow a poor boy like me. Of course, I can give up some things for you." Li Xuanfeng said softly.
That night, the two fell asleep holding hands, more intimate than a newlywed couple.
Since making this decision, Li Tang and Yang Qing's mentality has changed, and a look of reluctance has begun to appear in their eyes. Taoyuan Village is their hometown where they have lived for decades and they have never thought of leaving, but now they have decided to leave for their son.
Even the neighbors noticed something was wrong with the two, but they did not respond to the question and planned to tell everyone before leaving.
The family's life did not change because of this decision. They still repeated their usual life, often working in the fields with the three guards, or catching rabbits and fishing for a snack.
Li Tang called Ergou and began to teach him medical skills. He couldn't let the village be without a doctor after he left, otherwise Ergou would blame himself.
Worried that Ergou would not be able to fully learn the technique in two years, Li Tang wrote down his own experiences in a medical book for Ergou to refer to after he left.
Little Siyan is already three or four years old, but she has become a follower of Li Xuanfeng and Shen Luoyan, unlike other children of this age who run around everywhere.
During breaks, Li Xuanfeng would often take Shen Luoyan and Xiao Siyan to the river, and sometimes he would stare at the river in a daze.
Shen Luoyan thought that he was reluctant to leave the village because he had to leave in two years, but what she didn't know was that Li Xuanfeng was not only reluctant to leave Taoyuan Village, but the entire world!
In this peaceful life, the fruits on the peach trees in the mountains turned red twice!
Although Ergou did not learn medical skills as fast as Li Xuanfeng, he was already able to work independently at this time. With the help of the medical books left by Li Tang, he would have no problem treating patients in the future.
Li Tang and Yang Qing began to tell the villagers about their decision to leave. After knowing the reason, the villagers were extremely reluctant but still understood them very well.
Before leaving, every household in the village sent gifts to Li Tang and his friends. This was a token of their goodwill, and Li Tang could not refuse, so he accepted them one by one with gratitude.
But soon after seeing the mountains of fruits and dry food piled up in the yard, they had to smile bitterly, as they simply could not take all of these things with them.
Li Tang had no choice but to explain to everyone with an apology. In the end, he only took dry food with him, and sent back .
A few days later, when Li Tang left with his family, all the villagers came out to see them off.
Li Tang was a respected person in the whole village. Everyone was sad to see him go, but they could only choose to respect his decision.
"Take care and have a safe journey." The villagers sent them their blessings.
"Thank you all for seeing us off. Now go home." Li Tang and Li Xuanfeng clasped their fists and bowed to everyone, then began to persuade them.
Only after seeing Li Xuanfeng and his group enter the cave leaving the village did everyone turn around and go home.
Ergou did not leave with them. He chose to stay in the village and became the only doctor treating everyone.
After leaving Taoyuan Village, Li Xuanfeng and his group of eight finally returned to the gate of Xuanling City after another two months of trekking.
What Li Xuanfeng didn't know was that when the city guards saw him and Shen Luoyan, they immediately sent someone to run into the city.
After entering Xuanling City, Shen Hua came to greet him while he was still halfway to Shen Mansion. The city guards were going to Shen Mansion to inform Shen Hua.
This was his order to the city guards. He had been waiting for this day for three years!
During this period, he often came to the top of the city wall, watching to see if there were any familiar figures outside the city.
"Dear relatives, welcome to Xuanling City!" Shen Hua came towards him, clasped his fists and bowed to Li Tang, saying with a smile.
Shen Hua's appearance surprised Li Xuanfeng a little. They had just passed through the city gate not long ago, and they didn't expect Shen Hua to get the news and come so quickly.
"Mr. Shen is so polite. How could I disturb you?" Li Tang already knew Shen Hua's identity because he had heard Li Xuanfeng mention it before. He felt flattered to see him come out of the house to greet him.
"Of course, of course. You are Xuanfeng's father, and Luoyan's father." Shen Hua explained with a smile.
After a few polite words, they walked towards the Shen Mansion together. Shen Hua had already prepared everything and was just waiting for their arrival.
After arriving at the Shen Mansion, Han Yue immediately sent people to prepare a dinner to welcome Li Tang and his friends.
During this dinner, Mr. and Mrs. Li Tang and Mr. and Mrs. Shen Hua chatted happily, as if they were good friends who had not seen each other for many years.
Li Tang clearly felt the rarity of this relative. He did not have the slightest airs of a wealthy family, nor did he look down on them because they were from a remote mountain village.
Shen Hua had even cleaned up the room for them and had someone clean it every day so they could just move in when they came back.
Shen Hua was very thoughtful and arranged for Li Tang and Yang Qing to live in the house where Li Xuanfeng lived, so that their family could still live together.
