The Peasant Wife: The Prime Minister's Beloved

This is what happened. As soon as Xiaochen saw his playmate, he was eager to share the joy. Xiaoyang wanted to stop him but it was too late.

When other children went home and talked about this, it was more out of envy than malice.

"Okay, Mom doesn't blame you."

Chen Xi squatted down gently, looking Xiaoyang and Xiaochen in the eye, his eyes full of kindness.

"But why did you insist that the house was rented? Didn't you tell us that the house was purchased?"

Xiaoyang asked in confusion.

"Yes, mother, if the family is really in trouble, it would be great for us to stay in the village with you. We can still play with our friends and let dad go to the county town to study alone, right?"

Xiaochen added that although the two children are young, they already know how to be considerate of their parents.

After that, Xiaoyang and Xiaochen also dug out the pocket money that Chen Xi had given them during this period, and insisted on giving it to their mother for emergency use.

Chen Xi and Xie Tianyi were amused by the children's sensible actions, and their hearts were filled with warmth. The children were so considerate.

"Don't worry, Dad and Mom are well-off, and Mom did buy this house. It's just that we just need to understand these things in our hearts. In front of outsiders, just do what Mom says."

"Family members naturally hope that our family will live in harmony, but as for outsiders, their thoughts are much more complicated."

"I'm telling you all this, but maybe you still don't fully understand it now. To put it simply, there are both good people and bad people in this world, and you can't easily believe what others say."

"Just like what happened today, you saw how many people in the village came to ask if my parents had any way to make money. If they did, should I tell them?"

After this explanation, Xiaoyang and Xiaochen seemed to understand something.

"We get it, Mom!"

The two children answered in unison, with a gleam of growth in their eyes.

There was a gleam of sudden enlightenment in the eyes of the two children. They finally understood that those people who seemed to be interested in this old house on the surface actually had selfish motives to learn the secret of making money!

My mother used her superb medical skills to relieve other people's pain in exchange for meager rewards. In addition, my grandmother's family ran a warm and inconspicuous snack bar. Every penny was saved bit by bit by my mother's wisdom and sweat.

If these valuable experiences and methods were easily known to outsiders, they would probably be taken for granted and lose their due value.

On the day of picking up the furniture, the sun was shining brightly, and Chen Xi led her two children into the bustling town. Although the main task was to move the furniture to the new home, in addition to completing this task, she also hoped that the children could adapt to this new environment that would soon become a part of their lives.

Therefore, this trip into the city was both a responsibility and a small adventure for them.

However, due to his heavy academic workload, Xie Tianyi had to stay at home and continue to immerse himself in the ocean of books.

The furniture was delivered by experienced carpenters on sturdy carts. Each piece of finely crafted furniture glowed with a warm luster in the sun.

Chen Xi invited several strong men to work together to temporarily place these furniture that carried the hope of a new life in the warehouse.

She planned to put them in place one by one after the new house was cleaned spotlessly, so that the home would truly "come alive".

After moving, Chen Xi decided to let Xiaoyang and Xiaochen start to try to be independent, which meant that they needed to have their own rooms. Although the two brothers were inevitably a little reluctant to give up the warm time of sleeping with their mother, the freshness and joy brought by the new home quickly diluted this slight sadness.

They began to happily choose their own little world. Their seriousness and anticipation filled Chen Xi's heart with warmth.

She followed the children patiently, watching them explore room after room, as if she was witnessing another important moment in their growth.

In the end, the two little guys chose a room next to the main house, where they could feel the warmth of home and keep a little secret of their own.

After choosing the room, they ran to the nearby bridge like ponies on the loose, chasing each other and laughing.

Even if they accidentally fell occasionally, they would just brush off the dust on their bodies, get up nonchalantly and continue their games.

It was not until the sun set that the two snuggled together and fell asleep on the ox cart, with looks of contentment and happiness on their faces.

When the ox cart slowly stopped, Chen Xi gently picked up the sleeping children and walked into the new home one by one.

Xie Tianyi heard the noise and walked out of the house. Looking at Chen Xi's seemingly weak but powerful figure, he couldn't help but admire her secretly.

During this period, the children grew at an alarming rate. Not only did they grow taller, but they also gained weight. It was not easy for Chen Xi to hold two of them at the same time so easily.

Xie Tianyi took a child with loving care and put him on the bed with the same gentle movements, fearing that he would disturb their sweet dreams.

"They were so excited about their new home that they had so much fun playing that they fell asleep on the way home."

Chen Xi explained softly to Xie Tianyi outside the door.

As the sky gradually darkened, the two little guys were too tired to hold on, and Chen Xi himself also looked very exhausted.

Seeing this, Xie Tianyi took the initiative to take on the task of preparing dinner, hoping to give her a break.

As soon as the aroma of the food filled the air, the village chief and the clan leader appeared at the door at the same time, as if they had telepathy. Xie Tianyi and Chen Xi quickly stood up to greet them, but the two elders were just passing by after a walk, and smiled and declined their hospitality, saying that they were just stopping by to take a look.

"Tianyi, and your wife, we are here today to discuss something with you."

The clan leader spoke, patting Xie Tianyi's shoulder gently, his eyes revealing a bit of reluctance and expectation.

He knew that once Xie Tianyi and his family moved into the city, the chances of meeting them again would probably become few and far between.

In view of Xie Tianyi's outstanding performance in the academy and his great possibility of achieving fame and entering an official career in the future, the clan leader believes that it is not excessive to make such a request. He also hopes that Tianyi can be concerned about Xianghe Village even if he is in a high position and become the village's future support.

Xie Tianyi agreed without hesitation: "Okay, village chief, clan leader, I will inform you the night before entering the city, and you will pass it on to the villagers."

Upon hearing this, the village chief and the clan leader nodded with satisfaction, then said goodbye and left. Their goal had been achieved.

As the school starts, Xie Tianyi's schedule becomes more tight.

The new house in the county town still needs final cleaning, and Xie Tianyi will also move in, so everyone sets out early to clean the house spotlessly.

In the county town, Chen Xi specially invited Chen Jiajia, the youngest daughter of Chen Erge and Chen Ersao, to join him.

Brother Chen and his wife even closed the shop for a day and brought Zhang Da and Zhang Er to help. With everyone working together, in less than half a day, the new house looked brand new inside and out.
