Two days later, Wang Yong returned in the afternoon and took the buyer back to get the title deed and go to the county government office to transfer the ownership.

"Will you move out within three days?" The buyer confirmed again and again before taking the title deed and leaving.

Wang Yong took the newly acquired banknotes and the rest from home, and returned to the yamen with Xia Tian and others.

The ownership was transferred twice in one day, and the clerk in charge happily congratulated Wang Yong.

Wang Yong touched the newly acquired title deed and said generously, "Tomorrow after work, I'll invite you brothers to Kechanglai for a drink. Everyone should come."

The clerk bowed and said, "Very good, very good. I will definitely go and have a drink to share in the joyous atmosphere of this wedding."

"Then I'll go first. I still have to register the children." Wang Yong took the three quail-like children to the other side and added their household registration to his own household registration.

Because these three people had been registered as children, but their parents didn't care, they shouldn't be moved around. But Wang Yong slipped two taels of silver to them, and the person in charge of household registration smiled and said, "The village head in charge said a lot of children are missing. I think they were kidnapped. Let's just count them as missing."

Missing household registrations were not a concern unless their parents were found. Furthermore, since the children had all changed their names, the household registration clerk didn't bother to bother with them and registered Xia Tian and the others on the Wang family's household registration.

After getting the household registration certificate, they became ordinary citizens.

He endured it until he left the county government office, then Xia Tian leaned over to take a look. Although he couldn't read, he had a family and a household, so he would be like any other ordinary child.

Xia Tian's eyes were filled with tears. His knees softened as he knelt down and kowtowed to Wang Yong, "Thank you, Uncle Wang..."

"What are you doing! Get up!" Wang Yong lifted him up, and the other two knelt down again. Without thinking, he simply accepted it. A sense of responsibility rose in his heart, and it felt like something was landing on his shoulders. He said solemnly, "A man's knees are made of gold. He kneels to heaven, earth, and parents. Now you are all my good children. I accept your kneeling and will take good care of you in the future."

"Dad." Xia Tian fell to the ground, his voice choking with sobs. If you ask him if he regretted leaving home, he definitely did at first, when he was starving and exhausted, when he was beaten for no reason. But after getting through it, he no longer regretted it.

Today, he had a father again, and he didn't know how to describe his feelings. But he had gotten to know Uncle Wang and Aunt Wang better over time. He was willing, seeing how well his sister was taken care of, when Aunt Wang treated them to a meal and picked up food for them, and when Uncle Wang held him in his arms, he wanted to have a family too.

Zhang Zhou was similar to Xia Tian, but he never regretted anything. He seemed to have no desire to live, and when times got tough, he always thought about dying. But his eldest brother always pulled him along, dragged him along, and kept him alive until today, when he had a family again.

As for Guan Xu, he was still a bit naive. He had endured much less hardship than his older brothers, and just being able to eat was enough. However, he loved Uncle Wang and Aunt Wang very much. He felt that such parents were the best.

The Wang family stopped setting up a stall from that day on, and Dong Xiaohuan was busy packing up things at home, taking out everything that could be used.

Wang Yong took a day off, rented a ox cart and took his wife and children to their new home.

"From now on, this will be our home." Wang Yong said, taking out the key to unlock the door. The Welcoming Pine on the screen wall seemed to be welcoming its next owner.

When the family of six entered their new home, the principal room was definitely Wang Yong and his wife's. Among the side rooms, Xia Chu's was the largest and best located.

As for the other rooms, Xiatian let her younger brothers choose first, and she randomly picked one of the remaining rooms.

After putting my things away, I started cleaning.

They each cleaned and swept their own rooms first. Xiatian brought a bucket of water and distributed rags to his younger brothers and sisters. He raised his hand and said with a smile, "Let's see who can clean the cleanest!"

"It must be me! I'm the best at my job!" Guan Xu didn't follow any martial ethics. He threw away the wet rag and ran back to the room to start.

"I won't lose to you!" Zhang Zhou was rarely interested and walked away with high morale.

"Brother, I'm going too!" Xia Chu's desire to win was also awakened.

Only Xia Tian shook his head and laughed, then slowly began to wipe the dust off the tables and chairs.

Seeing the children so excited, Dong Xiaohuan became cheerful and patted Wang Yong, "Brother Yong, we can't lose either!"

Wang Yong laughed, "Okay, the two of us must not lose."

The previous owner had left in a hurry, and the furniture was still there, though a little dusty. They tidied up their room and moved to the front.

Dong Xiaohuan worked more efficiently than the others, finishing the main house, the main hall, and the study. Several children came up to her and asked what they should clean next. She suddenly felt like dispatching troops. "Xiaotian and Xiaochu, take the brooms and clean the front yard. Xiaozhou and Xu'er, go to the backyard. I'll go to the kitchen to clean up and prepare lunch. Brother Yong, how about you go buy groceries?"

Xia Chu giggled and playfully shouted, "Yes, sir!"

Guan Xu imitated her shout and ran off laughing, holding the broom. After a while, his voice came from the backyard, "Second brother! Come quickly, don't be lazy!"

"I'm coming." Zhang Zhou responded and went to the backyard.

Everyone was busy with their own things. As for cleaning, there were only some dead branches and leaves, nothing else.

Xia Chu looked at the fallen leaves floating in the small pond and asked Xia Tian, "Brother, how can we get the leaves out of the water?"

Xia Chu took a look and said, "I don't know if there is a rake. I'll go look in the woodshed."

The woodshed was half full of firewood, which looked quite dry. At the other end were brooms and other tools, including a bamboo rake.

The kitchen was next to the woodshed. Dong Xiaohuan saw Xia Tian holding a spade and asked, "What are you doing with this?"

Xia Tian explained, "There are a lot of fallen leaves in the pond. I'm going to use this to pick them up."

Dong Xiaohuan was worried. "Leave the lotus pond alone. Wait for your Wang...your father to come back and let him take care of it. You and your sister should stay away from it. Don't fall in. We don't know how deep the lotus pond is."

"I will be careful and won't fall." Xia Tian felt that he was an adult and didn't need to trouble his father with such a small matter.

"Be good and listen. Just sweep the yard and pile the leaves over there later," Dong Xiaohuan pointed to the empty space to the side of the kitchen. "We'll burn them together when the time comes. We can even grow some vegetables here."

"Okay." Xia Tian nodded and put down the spade.

After a busy morning, Wang Yong didn't want his wife to be too tired, so he bought not only groceries but also ready-made meals. But when he got home, he was scolded, "You just bought a house, and you're so extravagant. It would be better to cook for yourself."

Wang Yong didn't get angry. He rubbed his wife's shoulders and said, "We're celebrating by moving into a new house. Besides, you've been busy all morning and must be exhausted."

"I think you're just greedy." Dong Xiaohuan actually understood and felt sweet inside, but she felt a little distressed after spending such a large sum of money. There were many places to spend money right now. Several boys only needed one set of spring clothes, and summer clothes would have to be two sets each. Even if there was only one pair of shoes, they would have to have three pairs.

We don't have enough mattresses and sheets at home, so we need to buy some. Also, there are wooden basins, towels, toothbrushes, and toothpaste for them to wash.

There are a lot of things to buy. Although I still have some spare money, there is still a long way to go.
