Started as a thatched house and ended up as a female figure

Early the next morning, the entire Cheng family went out and returned to Pingnan Village.

After paying homage to Grandpa Cheng and Deng Xiong's grandmother and chatting with them separately, half of the things that had to be done when returning to the village today were done.

The remaining half is saying goodbye to the living.

Mr. Fang, who taught Cheng's children including Cheng Daping, Village Chief Wu, who took good care of the Cheng family, Mrs. Zhang and others who fled here with the Cheng family, Village Chief Jia and others who later reunited and became fellow villagers, and Jin Xiang and others who were saved by Cheng Wan and are now able to stand on their own...

Everyone understood that the Cheng family’s trip to the capital this time was different from the last time they went there.

The last time we went to the capital, the second and third branches of the Cheng family stayed in Shuoyang. Before Cheng Wan left, he also said that he might be back soon, so everyone didn’t feel so deeply about the Cheng family leaving Pingnan Village, Shuoyang, and Liangzhou.

This time, the Cheng family's business in Shuoyang had already been handed over and arranged, and the second and third branches of the Cheng family in the village had also started packing their bags.

The most important thing is that Cheng Wan, the most important person in the Cheng family, has already finished all the exams he can take in Shuoyang. If he wants to take the next exam, he must take it in the capital.

The Marquis Zhaoping's Mansion was originally in the capital, and Cheng Wan was also a Beijing official.

The situation is this: once the Cheng family leaves, they probably won't come back for a long time.

Or even if the Cheng family comes back, it is definitely not the whole family.

Ever since the Cheng family came to Pingnan Village, they have had a profound impact on the village.

Later, the Cheng family's business brought stable and considerable income to almost every household in Pingnan Village.

Later, Cheng Wan became an official and was granted a title of nobility. It is no exaggeration to say that the villagers of Pingnan Village stood three points straighter in front of people from other villages.

Everyone is reluctant to part with the Cheng family and Cheng Wan, both for public and private reasons.

"Everyone, go back!" Cheng Wan looked around at everyone as she spoke. Her eyes were slightly red. She pursed her lips and said loudly in a hoarse voice, "Go back, everyone, go back!"

No one moved.

"Village Chief..." Cheng Wan asked Village Chief Wu for help.

Village Chief Wu wiped his face, took a deep breath and exhaled, turned around and waved to the crowd, and said in a deep voice: "Go away! Don't block the way here!"

Some people moved, but no one was the first to leave.

Village Chief Wu glared and said, "Go away! Go do what you need to do! Have you finished all the work in the workshop?! Do you still want to earn wages?!"

"Village chief, let's stay for a while. After Zhaoping Hou and his family leave, we will go back to work."

"Yes, village chief, it doesn't matter if you wait a little longer."

……

Everyone was talking at once and expressing their opinions, the noise was chaotic and bustling.

Cheng Wan's heart felt sore.

She didn't expect that after the content of "The Letter to the Enemy Party" became widely known, these people would still choose to openly show their closeness to her.

Don't they know that the farther away from her they are, the safer they are?

These people are really "stupid".

But it's so stupid that it makes people soft-hearted.

Cheng Wan looked at this and that, cleared his throat, and said loudly: "Everyone is fine, we will miss you in Beijing! Everyone, go home! Go home!"

"Yeah, let's all go back!"

Old Mrs. Lin and others also echoed loudly.

"Marquis Zhaoping, will you come back in the future?" someone asked in a loud voice.

"Come back! We will be back!

You have to come back, my grandfather is still here!"

Cheng Wan's crisp voice made many people laugh out loud.

Village Chief Wu put away the smile on his face, deliberately put on a stern face, and waved to the crowd again: "Alright, everyone go away!"

The crowd was silent for a few moments.

The crowd gradually dispersed.

Cheng Wan looked at their departing backs, her eyes dark, and no one knew what she was thinking.

Village Chief Wu and Village Chief Jia were the last to come.

The two seemed to want to explain something, but in the end they said nothing. They just smiled at Cheng Wan and turned away.

Suddenly, Village Chief Jia stopped and turned around, looking at Cheng Wan with a loving and tolerant look, and the wrinkles on his face were full of pure blessings: "Wan girl, be fine, be fine, be fine!"

Cheng Wan's eyes instantly warmed up. She gave Village Chief Jia a bright smile and nodded heavily: "Hey!"

The two village chiefs walked away, but Cheng Wan was still standing there.

"Awan."

Gu Yan, who had been acting as the "invisible man", walked over.

Cheng Wan looked up, her eyes were red but bright: "Ayan, I am so happy."

Gu Yan was stunned for a moment, then the corners of his mouth turned up, and his eyes sparkled with twinkling lights: "Yes, our Ah Wan is a happy girl."

Cheng Wan chuckled, his eyebrows flying: "So in order for this happiness to last longer, I have to keep working harder and harder!"

"Okay, I'll accompany you."

The two looked at each other and laughed silently.

……

Over there, Old Lady Lin, Mrs. Zhang and Mrs. Song were already chatting about “girlfriend gossip” before parting.

Here, Cheng Wan was also whispering with Jin Xiang and the others.

“Take care of yourself, live your life well, and go to the two village leaders if you encounter difficulties.

If you miss me, let spring write a letter to me for you.

I will certainly write back to you.”

Jin Xiang and the others nodded heavily with red eyes.

Cheng Wan wiped the tears of several people one by one and coaxed them gently: "Don't cry, your eyes are about to be swollen. I'm not not coming back."

Yanqiu stared at Cheng Wan, unwilling to look away, and choked up uncontrollably: "Girl, you must take good care of yourself, eat well, sleep well, dress well, the girl must be fine! Be fine!"

"Yes, the girl must be fine. We will pray for her day and night!"

Cheng Wan continued to wipe their tears, responding softly, "Okay, I will take good care of myself, and we will all be fine!"

Gu Yan held Gu Yu's hand and stood a little further away, looking at Cheng Wan intently and obsessively.

Watching Cheng Wan speaking gently to Jin Xiang and the others, watching Cheng Wan wiping their tears patiently, watching Cheng Wan making Jin Xiang and the others laugh with a smile.

"Sui Sui, I love her so much."

Gu Yu raised his little head: "Uncle, I like Wanwan too."

"But Sui Sui, I want to hide her so that she can only see me..."

Gu Yan murmured softly, his dark eyes filled with morbid paranoia.

Gu Yu frowned, with confusion in his big eyes: "Uncle, I didn't hear what you said clearly."

Gu Yan blinked, lowered his head and touched Gu Yu's little head, with a smile on his face and gentle and harmless eyes: "I said I would protect her, no matter what the cost..."

……

The next morning, after saying goodbye to Old Lady Lin and the others, Cheng Wan loaded up his luggage with a heavy heart and rode on his horse. As soon as he arrived outside the gate of Shuoyang City, he was stunned by what he saw.

This... what is going on?
