Chapter 156: Chapter 2: Returning Home

Although Shen Chi’s family had been transferred to the Capital, it wasn’t possible for them to move there immediately. Before that, they still had to return to their hometown.

Getting off the train, Lin Xiaoguai held the dozing Little Niangao, while Shen Chi followed behind her with large and small bags, occasionally breaking through the crowds squeezing towards her.

"Brother, sister-in-law, over here, over here!"

Right at that moment, Shen Xiu’s voice came through, and Lin Xiaoguai along with Shen Chi quickened their pace to meet her.

"Sister-in-law, why did you come so late? I have been back for several days already and you’re just arriving now." Shen Xiu complained while taking Little Niangao into her arms, "Little Niangao, I’m your auntie, do you still remember me?"

"Auntie, hello." Little Niangao mumbled in a half-sleeping state.

"Ah——" Shen Xiu, with a happy face, gave him a kiss and said, "Let’s go, we should head back quickly; grandma made lots of dishes at home. If it weren’t for me persuading them, both of our elders would have come here too."

Arriving home, travel-worn, Shen Zhangming was already waiting there, and the Shen Minjuan sisters were all present as well. Seeing them, everyone gathered around.

"Elder aunt, second aunt, third aunt, little aunt, why are you all here?"

Shen Chi and Lin Xiaoguai both looked surprised; this was not the time of the Lunar New Year.

"Mom said that you are going to stay with us for a few days before heading to the Capital, and if we don’t come now, who knows when we’d get to see you?" Shen Minjuan somewhat reproachfully said, "I’ve told you so many times to come and play at the elder aunt’s house, you always agree enthusiastically, but you never show up. If you don’t miss this aunt, then I had to come and see you."

Her tone was half-joking, half-serious, which made everyone laugh.

"Alright, enough with the chatter, come in and help me with the dishes!" Seeing the group just standing in the yard, Luo Yufang called out.

"Coming, coming!"

The crowd hurried into the house. The aunts helped the young couple put down their luggage and placed the already asleep Little Niangao on the bed. By the time they sat down, the table was already full of dishes.

A few little uncles were there too, and the round table was so full it was almost hard to fit everyone.

"Chi, you’re settled now that you’ve gone to the Capital, right?" little uncle Zhao Shuhua asked Shen Chi while serving him a piece of braised chicken.

"Yes," Shen Chi replied after a sip of baijiu, "if everything goes as expected, I should be based in the Capital from now on."

Upon hearing this, everyone showed relieved expressions, especially the Shen Minjuan sisters. They always knew their nephew would do well, but who would have thought he would thrive so much? A country boy like him becoming a Capital man, how could they not be pleased?

"That’s how it should be," Zhao Shuhua nodded and said, "Little Niangao will also need to go to school soon. Having his school registration in the Capital will be good for his future."

"Don’t start with your serious talk," Shen Minying rolled her eyes at him and turned to Shen Chi, "Chi, you’ll need money in the Capital, do you have enough? If not, your aunt here can lend you some."

Her family had gotten back on their feet in the past two years, and she and her husband had managed to save a little.

"It’s enough," Shen Chi hurriedly replied, "Aunt, I have enough, don’t worry."

"Chi, how long are you staying at home this time?" The gentle-natured second aunt, Shen Minqing, was more concerned about this.

"We can’t stay for many days; we have to report to the Capital soon," Shen Chi said apologetically.

Except for Lin Xiaoguai, everyone looked somewhat disappointed, but Shen Xiu changed the subject, "Brother, I am going to start my internship at the provincial hospital next month."

"Really?" Shen Chi said with a happy face, "That’s great, I was even thinking about whether I should pull some strings for you."

"What’s so great about that?" Luo Yufang said, slightly displeased, "Xiu’er is still so young. It was alright when she was just schooling, but now, a girl working out there, can anyone be at ease? Isn’t our county hospital good enough?"

Shen Chi was somewhat silent; he knew that grandma wanted her grandchildren to stay close by. Now that he was moving to the Capital, even Xiu’er...

"Why don’t we buy a property in the provincial city for Xiu’er? Grandpa and grandma could also move there, and when Xiu’er gets married, the house could serve as her dowry," Lin Xiaoguai suggested, looking towards Shen Chi.

Now that Shen Xiu had been assigned to the city, she would likely settle down there. From Lin Xiaoguai’s futuristic perspective, buying a property now was very suitable both economically and practically.

"That’s a good idea, how about we listen to Wanwan?" Shen Chi said, looking at Shen Zhangming and Luo Yufang.

"No need, no need," Shen Xiu waved her hands quickly, "Sister-in-law, you don’t need to buy me a property. I can just rent a place to live. You two are the ones in need of money right now."
