The Phantom Butterfly of the Republic of China

Xiao Jingchen's warning really worked. When the train slowly stopped at the platform, some people who had ill intentions got off the train and dared not move at all.

After all, Xiao Yi not only brought his whole family here this time, but also moved 80% of his family's property here, and even took out most of his bank deposits. Therefore, the amount of items he brought was astonishing, almost occupying an entire carriage. And this was the privilege that Xiao Yi had obtained with his connections, and his family had an exclusive carriage to transport the items.

As for Lin Junshan, Jin Ling and others, they did not choose to wait at the station entrance, but contacted the staff and successfully entered the station to wait. After all, they knew clearly that the uncles must have brought a lot of valuables this time, and they must not take it lightly.

Xiao Yi and others chose to wait until all other passengers got off the train before moving, so as to avoid unnecessary crowding and chaos. The train would stay at the station for about half an hour, which was enough time for Xiao Yi to move his belongings off the train. When all the passengers got off the train, Xiao Yi began to move his luggage in an orderly manner. At this moment, Lin Junshan and Jin Ling recognized Xiao Yi at a glance. The reason was that Xiao Yi looked very similar to Old Man Xiao, and one could tell at a glance that they were related by blood.

Jin Ling looked at the man who looked very much like his grandfather and greeted him politely: "Hello, my name is Jin Ling, are you my uncle?" Xiao Yi responded with a smile, carefully looking at the little girl in front of him, and found that she was quite similar to his sister. He immediately understood that this was his niece. So, he gently replied: "Yes, I am your uncle, Ling'er, right?" Jin Ling heard the affirmative answer and immediately smiled happily, saying: "Yes, uncle, I am Jin Ling. Should we get in the car?"

Xiao Yi looked at the situation at the station and also found the cars nearby. These cars were rare in the imperial capital, but here he could see not only four cars but also a large truck.

Xiao Yi was originally worried about how to transport the things, but now he doesn't have to worry about it anymore. Xiao Yi asked the housekeeper to help put the things on the truck. The truck was brought by Lin Junshan. He was also worried that his uncle's family brought too much luggage and the car couldn't fit it back, so he asked someone to drive a truck. But now it seems that one truck is not enough. Lin Junshan just called to call a few more cars and people.

The people and vehicles arrived quickly. The people brought by Lin Junshan were very helpful. In less than 20 minutes, the things were moved from the train to the trucks. Lin Junshan called three large trucks in total, but they were almost unable to load all the things. In the end, some of the things were loaded into cars.

Looking at the three full trucks, Lin Junshan, Jin Ling and the others sighed: "How much stuff is this!"

Xiao Yi heard this and laughed, "This is only part of it. There are still many that have not been moved in."

Lin Junshan asked in surprise: "More? How much stuff did you bring?"

Xiao Yi explained: "These are your grandparents' things. If I don't take them with me, they will get angry. You know that old people are just old people. There is nothing we can do about it."

Lin Junshan nodded to show his understanding. At this time, someone came to report that they were ready and could set off. So everyone got on the bus and prepared to go to their destination.

Along the way, Xiao Yi looked at the scenery outside the window, his heart full of expectations. He knew that this trip to Shanghai was not only a work trip, but also a farewell to the past. And these things will become a common memory for him and his family.

What Xiao Yi said was not wrong. There were still some things that the escort took away, but those things were not particularly valuable. They were just some small items that the family members were used to using. A group of people didn't want to throw them away, so they brought them here.

After Xiao Yi and his group appeared at the entrance of the train station, they went straight to the Xiao Family Manor. Xiao Yi originally thought that his father had prepared a small western-style building for his family, and it might be a bit cramped for the family to squeeze together. Even Xiao Jingchen's wife Jiang Yitang had the same idea.

She knew something about Shanghai and what kind of places people lived in. Unlike the imperial capital, there were small Western-style buildings here, which were said to be where foreigners lived. A family of old and young lived in one building, and each person had only one room, so there was almost no privacy. However, when she walked into the Western-style building, she was surprised to find that this was not the case.

The scene in front of her shocked and surprised her. It turned out that the building was not as small as she had imagined, but spacious and bright, with a reasonable layout. Each room was relatively independent, providing enough private space for family members. Moreover, the decoration inside the building was exquisite and gorgeous, full of artistic atmosphere, and made people feel the rich cultural heritage.

Jiang Yitong couldn't help but sigh: "I didn't expect this western-style building to be so big. It's much more spacious than we imagined." Xiao Yi responded with a smile: "Yeah, I didn't expect it either. It seems that my father has good vision and chose such a good residence." He looked around and nodded with satisfaction.

Xiao Yi's family members all expressed their approval, and they began to visit the building excitedly. The public areas such as the living room, dining room, and kitchen were elegantly decorated, while each bedroom had its own characteristics to meet the needs of different family members. In addition, there were also leisure places such as study rooms and gardens, where people could enjoy the fun of life.

Xiao Yi secretly felt lucky. He was grateful for his father's careful arrangement, which allowed them to have a comfortable and warm home in Shanghai. At the same time, he also realized that although they had left the familiar imperial capital, they could still live a happy and fulfilling life here.

But what they see now is only the bungalow in the front. In fact, there are nine such bungalows! Moreover, each one is decorated exquisitely and elegantly with different styles. If they don't like living in the same house, they can choose to live in other bungalows. These bungalows are not far from each other, which is convenient for mutual care, but also maintains a certain degree of independence and privacy. Whether they want to enjoy a quiet time alone or spend happy time with family and friends, this place can meet their needs.

Xiao Yi and his group came to the living room and saw his parents whom he hadn't seen for a long time. Xiao Yi was shocked when he saw his parents and said, "Dad and Mom, how did you become like this?" Not only Xiao Yi was shocked, but the younger generations who followed him were also shocked.

Xiao Jingchen said in disbelief: "What's going on? So, Grandpa, what they said is true." Xiao Jingchen's words reminded everyone of some news they heard in the imperial capital at that time. They originally thought that it was just some rumors, but they didn't expect it to be true.
