The host of the quick travel is lacking in virtue for eight generations

Just as they reached the kitchen door, they bumped into a middle-aged woman carrying dishes out. She wasn't among the people Xiao Yun and the others had met at their door earlier, so she was probably cooking in the kitchen at that time.

The others were inside, busy lighting the stove or washing vegetables, and they all looked over when they heard the noise.

Lin Cuifen smiled and said, "This isn't a relative. This is my eldest daughter-in-law, Xiao Yun. Xiao Yun, you should call her Aunt Liu. She lives in the second house on the left."

Xiao Yun greeted her with a smile, "Aunt Liu."

"Wow~ I never expected your eldest son to be so lucky, finding such a beautiful wife. Do you have children yet? Have you brought them home?"

Xiao Yun nodded: "Yes, she came back with us and is in the house with her dad."

"You'll have to take me to see my house later, I love kids the most..."

Xiao Yun nodded, indicating that she would definitely go and familiarize herself with the place later.

After a couple more words, Liu Fang took the dishes and left. They finally went into the kitchen, where another introduction followed.

Grandma Huang, the first house on the right, is the same old lady who spoke first; she's actually our next-door neighbor.

The first house on the left is Aunt Chen's, the second house on the right is Sister Bai's. This unit, including the Zhuo family, has a total of five families on this floor, all of whom are workers and their families from the machinery factory.

Of course, the five families have different apartment layouts. Only the Zhuo family has a two-room suite. Because their family used to have two employees, and now there are three workers, they were allocated the largest apartment on this floor. The other families have one room or one and a half rooms, and the half room is a converted balcony.

For lunch, I made a steamed sea bass, a stir-fried green bean with pork, a stir-fried silver fish with eggs, and a steamed scallop and egg custard. This was made especially for Suixin. She had sent them some seafood before and even wrote down the recipe. Xiao Yun and the others said in their reply that Suixin liked this dish the most.

The staple foods are steamed buns and noodles. The noodles are specially prepared for a family of three to welcome them back. There is also a custom here of eating dumplings before boarding the train and noodles upon disembarking.

When they brought the dishes into the house, Zhuo's father, Zhuo Yiheng's younger brother, and his brother's children all returned.

Zhuo's father was named Zhuo Jiaqing. He was tall and big, with a square face, thick eyebrows and big eyes. He was a typical big man from Shandong Province. Apart from his physique, Zhuo Yiheng didn't really look like him. It seems that Zhuo's father probably looked like Zhuo Yiheng's grandmother.

Zhuo's younger brother is named Zhuo Yichen. He is also tall and big, with eyebrows and eyes like his mother. Like Zhuo Yiheng, he has sword-like eyebrows and phoenix eyes. His nose, mouth and face shape are a replica of his father's.

Because of their similar eyebrows and eyes, the two brothers can be identified as family when they stand together.

Because of the influence of Hu Xuan's soul, Zhuo Yiheng's body had less sharpness and angularity than the original body, appearing more gentle and smooth. Therefore, with his deliberate efforts to befriend him, it was easy for him to gain the other party's favor.

So in such a short time, the father and his two sons have gotten along very naturally, and Suixin has also started playing with his two cousins.

Zhuo Yichen got married early, and his two sons are seven and five years old respectively. They both attend the Machinery Factory Primary School, one in second grade and the other in kindergarten.

The primary school was located in the residential area, so the two brothers didn't need to be picked up or dropped off by adults. They went to and from school by themselves, and since there were other children of the same age in the neighborhood, they would go together.

"Dinner's ready. You three little ones, stop playing and go wash your hands. There's water in the basin over there."

Lin Cuifen put down the plate, addressed the three fathers and the three children, and then turned around and went out to serve the food.

Soon the food was laid out on the table, and everyone sat down. Xiao Yun was introduced to everyone again before they began to eat.

During the meal, everyone remained relatively quiet, adhering well to the rule of not speaking while eating or sleeping.

It wasn't until after dinner that everyone started chatting, talking about what had happened over the years. Zhuo's father also asked his eldest son about his future plans, whether he planned to come back or settle down there.

Of course, Hu Xuan was going to settle down there. He was following his wife, and as long as his wife didn't leave, he wouldn't move. However, he couldn't say that to the original owner's parents, so he just said in a very official way that it depended on the arrangements from above, and that he still had a mission there.

Zhuo's parents were unaware of the intricacies of the situation and assumed that their son had been sent there by the military, so they didn't say much, only telling them to come back and visit more often when they had time.

Overall, Xiao Yun's in-laws were alright; at least she didn't dislike any of them. So, when she was taking out gifts, she secretly added some more valuable ones.

Previously, I only prepared some superficial gifts. It looked like a big bag, but it was actually just some cigarettes, alcohol, and dried fruits and nuts from Northeast China that I bought in the market. Now I've changed some of the dried goods inside, added two ginseng roots that are about fifty years old, a bag of sliced ​​deer antler, and changed the alcohol to tiger bone wine.

Living by the sea makes one prone to rheumatism or gout, and she added some other medicinal herbs to this tiger bone wine, which are effective for both.

Of course, the tiger bones weren't hunted by them; they were bought from Old Jiang, Grandpa Xiao's old friend. The old man had hunted the tiger years ago, sold the tiger skin, and only had the bones left to make his own wine.

This was for Zhuo's parents and younger brother. Xiao Yun had originally prepared a fur coat for Gao Haizhen, which would be warmer than a cotton coat, since it was quite cold here in winter.

She added a large bottle of homemade face oil, which both mother-in-law and daughter-in-law could use. It had sun protection and skin care effects, as the ultraviolet rays at the beach were still very strong, and the people here were all quite tanned.

There's also a gold ring for each of the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law; since they found a gold mine there, this is considered a local specialty.

The children have toys from the Russians, as well as chocolates and candies, which don't need to be added.

When they took out the gifts, the Zhuo family members were all astonished, especially when they saw the ginseng, deer antler, and gold ring. This was truly a grand gesture.

Lin Cuifen suddenly felt a little worried. What kind of return gift should she prepare for them when they went back? Especially since it was her daughter-in-law's first time visiting, if she gave too little, her in-laws might complain.

She originally intended to give the money she had saved for her eldest son over the years to them. She had saved all the allowances he had sent back before, since they were both workers and didn't really need their son's money.

The money was meant to be saved for his wedding, but he ended up getting married outside the family without spending any of the family's money.

Although they did send money at the time, it wasn't much. Besides worrying about the security of the remittance, they were also afraid that too much money would attract attention.

Zhuo Yiheng has sent back quite a bit of money over the years. In addition to his regular allowance, he also received bonuses for completing tasks, which added up to several hundred yuan. Seeing this, I felt I had to add a little more, otherwise I would feel a bit guilty.

That evening, the elderly couple discussed it and decided to round it up and deposit some more money, giving them a savings account with a balance of one thousand.

Hu Xuan took half a month off, and after deducting the travel time, they could only stay here for a week at most.

That afternoon, he visited his neighbors with some dried wood ear mushrooms, dried mushrooms, hazelnuts, and pine nuts. The next day, he went back to the village in the suburbs with his father, who had taken leave. Since he had finally returned, he naturally wanted to pay respects to his grandparents and visit some relatives.

The worship must be done secretly; no paper money can be burned, only offerings can be placed on the grave as a token gesture.

They had learned from some neighbors that Zhuo Yiheng had lived in the village with his grandparents when he was a child, so he was closer to them.

It wasn't that Zhuo's parents didn't want to take him to the city; it was that he wanted to learn martial arts from the village veterans and didn't want to leave. It wasn't until his grandparents passed away and he was about to start middle school that he went to live with his parents.

The old house in the village is still there, where Uncle Zhuo's family lives. Uncle Zhuo's father is the third son, with two older brothers and a younger sister.

Uncle Zhuo died a long time ago, in the bombing of Japan. He was not yet twenty years old and had not yet gotten married.

Uncle Zhuo was very happy when they returned. He directed his sons to kill chickens and fish and even called his sister, who had married into the village, over. They gathered around a large table in a lively atmosphere.

Zhuo Erbo's full name is Zhuo Jialin. He is the accountant of Xiangyang Brigade. His three sons are: the eldest, Zhuo Yixun, is the team leader of the production team; the second, Zhuo Yijun, is the militia captain; and the youngest, Zhuo Yicheng, is a teacher at the village primary school.

Speaking of which, the Zhuo family is a family that combines farming and scholarship. All their ancestors were scholars, and although none of them held official positions, they generally did quite well.

Xiao Yun and the others were supposed to return to the city that day, but when they went to pay respects at the graves at noon, Xiao Yun habitually released his divine sense and discovered an air-raid shelter in the woods.

This is an important port city, so it's not surprising to have air-raid shelters. They exist not only in the suburbs but also in the city. But this air-raid shelter is different; it's connected to a secret passage.

The secret passage runs through the innermost part of the air-raid shelter, leading in two directions: one to the mountains and the other to the sea.

This air-raid shelter serves as a transit station and also provides access to both sides.

Xiao Yun used his divine sense to explore the mountain through the secret passage and found that the mountain had been almost hollowed out, with a huge underground cave dug out. Inside the cave, there was a fighter jet and many heavy weapons!

Although they are all outdated versions, they are clearly well preserved and still usable. It's not a problem to leave the fighter jets there, but the shells from those weapons are still a potential hazard. If an explosion occurs, many villages at the foot of the mountain will be affected. We still need to find a way to clear them away.

Of course, she could also store these directly in her spatial storage, which would solve the problem once and for all, but it's not in her nature to refuse such a great achievement.

Besides, with Zhuo Yiheng, a former elite soldier, around, it's perfectly normal for him to discover that cave with his reconnaissance abilities. He won't even have to rack his brains to figure out how to explain it, and he might even get a bonus or something.

These scrap metal pieces would take up space in her spatial storage, and she didn't know what to do with them.

Also, don't ask her how she knows this isn't something the country put there for war preparedness. It's covered with pictures of Japanese pancakes. Given the deep hatred the Chinese people have for Japan, even if it's a spoil of war, they would remove the pictures of Japanese pancakes and would never leave them out of the way.

Once Xiao Yun made up her mind, she communicated it to Hu Xuan telepathically. Hu Xuan agreed, and after discussing their plan, they decided to stay in the village that night and find an opportunity to discover it the next day.

The reason for staying was easy to find: Zhuo Yiheng wanted to meet up with his old friends. Zhuo's father, of course, had to go back; he had to go to work tomorrow, and he was already quite busy, so getting a day off today was already difficult enough.

Zhuo Erbo's family warmly invited them to stay, and even vacated the room that their third son had just cleaned up for his wedding. However, Xiao Yun and her husband refused. They didn't want to use the other person's new room; judging others by their own standards, the bride would definitely feel uncomfortable.

In the end, they stayed in the room of Zhuo Erbo's eldest son, Zhuo Yixun's child, and the child squeezed in with his parents.

The next day, after breakfast, Hu Xuan asked Uncle Zhuo where the old soldier who taught him kung fu was buried.

When I got back yesterday, I learned that the old soldier had passed away several years ago. His wife also died young, and he never remarried, so he had no children.

Before the original owner joined the army, he would often come to visit him. After he joined the army, he sent him things, but the other party did not accept them and returned them to his parents. They even wrote to him to stop sending them. He received disability allowance and was taken care of by the village, so he lived better than most people.

During this period, the original owner never returned. At first, they still corresponded, but later, after going to the battlefield, the letters from home were sent by the army, and thus contact with this side was lost.

After entering this body, Hu Xuan had no memory of it, and even his own address was found later. He had no way of knowing anything about the old soldier, and only learned that the man was gone after he returned.

Uncle Zhuo was not surprised by what he said. He had thought of this yesterday, but he couldn't say it while his father was around. His younger brother had always been unhappy that his eldest son was learning to be a soldier in Wudang. He always felt that it was because the old soldier kept telling the child about things on the battlefield that the child was led astray.

He thought for a moment and said, "Let your second brother take you there. They don't allow tombstones or graves to be erected now. Even if I told you, you wouldn't be able to find it."

He had to stay at the brigade headquarters and couldn't leave. His eldest son was a squad leader and also had to organize labor. His third son had to go to class. Only his second son, the militia captain, had time.

"Alright, then I'll trouble you, Second Brother."

This was also within his calculations. What use would it be if only the three of them discovered it? Someone else needed to go along with it. The best candidate was Zhuo Yijun, the militia captain. He would get credit for it, which would also benefit him. He might even get promoted. This is called keeping the benefits within the family.

After breakfast, Zhuo Yijun went up the mountain with them. Originally, his second aunt wanted to leave Suixin at home. She didn't take her with her when she went to pay respects to Zhuo's grandparents yesterday, since it was a cemetery and children are very perceptive, and she was afraid that she might see something that would frighten her.

But Suixin wouldn't have it. Yesterday, she heard that her parents had gone to the mountain, so she threw a tantrum and ignored them all night, sulking by herself. Today, she insisted on going to play. She had gone to the mountain with her great-grandfather and Duobao last month, and the mountain was so much fun.

Hu Xuan doted on his child. After saying a few words to his second uncle and aunt, he hoisted his daughter onto his shoulders, and the group left as if on a picnic.

Unexpectedly, the old soldier's grave was located in the woods near the air-raid shelter. It was a lonely grave mound overgrown with weeds, looking rather desolate.
