Seeing the boy, Nie Shen'er smiled even sweeter and called out, "Brother Hexuan."

Even though her soul is over a thousand years old in her past lives combined, Nie Shen'er has no pressure pretending to be a child.

"Are you here to learn martial arts?" Zhang Hexuan stopped in front of Nie Shen'er, with a look of joy on his face mixed with a bit of shyness. He was a head taller than Shen'er, eight years old this year, and two years older than Shen'er.

Zhang Hexuan fell in love with this fairy-like little girl at first sight when he saw Shen'er. He treated her as his sister. He missed her when he couldn't see her, and followed Shen'er around when he saw her, insisting on sticking to her.

For this reason, even though his health is not very good, he insists on practicing the basics of martial arts with Shen'er.

Although he always managed to persevere halfway, Zhang Dali would send him off to rest and not allow him to continue.

"No. I came to say goodbye to you." Nie Shen'er looked up and looked at Zhang Hexuan, feeling a little regretful. It was a pity that she would never see her good friend again.

"Ah, why?" Zhang Hexuan suddenly became anxious. He looked at Nie Shen'er anxiously, then at Nie Feng, and then noticed that there was an extra woman in the yard.

"Who are you?" Zhang Hexuan was puzzled. He looked at Shen'er and then at the woman, and suddenly realized.

Nie Shen'er took the initiative to introduce the two, saying, "This is my mother, mother, and this is Zhang Hexuan, my good friend."

Pinghua smiled and nodded to Zhang Hexuan, "Shen'er often mentioned you to me."

Zhang Hexuan was a little reserved: "Hello, auntie."

Zhang Dali was also curious about what Nie Shen'er said. He looked at Nie Feng and said, "Why don't you go in and have a cup of tea, and then tell us in detail what happened?"

Nie Feng did not refuse.

The two families sat down in the main hall. Zhang Dali made some hot tea and poured it for Nie Feng and Pinghua respectively.

Zhang Hexuan actively poured a glass of water for Nie Shen'er and sat next to her in a depressed mood.

Goodbye is a very cruel word for a good friend. He is so worried that he will never see this beautiful sister again.

He felt extremely sad whenever he thought about never being able to play with his sister Shen'er again.

Nie Feng hesitated for a few seconds, looked at Pinghua, and then told her about his experience yesterday.

Hearing about this, Zhang Dali slammed the table and said angrily:

"The officials are so incompetent that they only care about bullying us civilians. Enough people have died in wars over the years, and yet they are killing innocent people because of internal strife. This is outrageous."

After saying that, Zhang Dali clenched his fist and said, "Brother Feng, why don't you stay here with me? You definitely can't go back over there, and there's probably someone waiting there, just waiting for you to come back. Don't worry, I won't charge you for accommodation, just treat it like you're at home!"

Zhang Hexuan's eyes lit up and he added, "That's right, live here. The vacant houses next to you on both sides are mine. Just pick one and live there."

If possible, who would be willing to leave their hometown?

Nie Feng and Pinghua were naturally very tempted by Zhang Dali's proposal to live here.

But Nie Feng was unwilling to not pay for accommodation. He said:

"It's already a bother for you to stay here. I will pay you the normal price for accommodation. We are not staying here for free."

Zhang Dali didn't care: "Okay, just give us two copper coins every month!"

"No, no, I..." Nie Feng wanted to say something.

Zhang Dali patted his shoulder and gave him a proud smile. "Why are you being so polite to me? We have no relatives or friends here. You and Shen'er are a good match for us, so we've already considered you our friends. There's no need to be so calculating between friends!"

Zhang Hexuan quickly agreed, "Yes, yes, yes."

Pinghua and Zhang Dali were not familiar with each other, so she was embarrassed to interrupt and sat quietly aside. Looking at Nie Feng's awkward but moved look, she felt a little touched. She didn't expect that the master her daughter worshipped would be so sincere to his friends.

The villagers of Wangxin Village are not simple and honest. In the early years, when Pinghua's mother was still alive, she was cheated by the villagers of Wangxin Village and was bullied. Later, her mother passed away, and Pinghua was left alone. Her life only started to get better after she married Nie Feng.

Pinghua was deeply attracted by Nie Feng's rare good qualities. After seeing Zhang Dali's character, Pinghua was so moved that her eyes turned red.

Kind people are always easier to touch.

Especially Zhang Dali, who came to the rescue in times of need.

Zhang Dali made the final decision and did not allow Nie Feng to "bargain". He took Nie Feng there and cleaned up the vacant room next door for Nie Feng to stay in.

The layout of the convenient house is the same as Zhang Dali's house, with two rooms, one bigger and one smaller. The bigger one has a double bed, and the smaller one is a bit crowded for two people, so Nie Feng and Pinghua live in the bigger one.

Zhang Hexuan was very active throughout the whole process. Even though he coughed a few times after walking a few steps, he still helped Shen'er clean up the room.

How could Shen'er let him suffer, so she just pulled him out and left the space for daddy and mommy to clean up. After all, she was still young, so let the adults do the hard work. There wasn't much luggage to pack anyway.

"Since Sister Shen'er is here this time, why don't you stay here forever?"

In the courtyard, Zhang Hexuan stared at Nie Shen'er's pretty face and spoke in a soft voice.

Nie Shen'er stretched out her hand, and Zhang Hexuan lowered his head consciously.

Nie Shen'er successfully pinched Zhang Hexuan's soft cheeks and narrowed her eyes in satisfaction:

"If I don't leave now, where can I go?"

She sighed and said in a pretentious tone, "I have a home and can't go back to it. I'm so miserable."

Zhang Hexuan suddenly felt distressed and coaxed, "Shen'er, don't be sad. This is your home. We are good friends. Good friends are inseparable."

Nie Shen'er wasn't that sad to begin with, and being coaxed so earnestly by the little brat felt quite novel. She nodded seriously, "Good friends are inseparable."

"Brother Hexuan, I want to take a shower." Nie Shen'er sniffed her own scent. She had been running around for a long time and hadn't taken a shower last night. Her body smelled sour. Fortunately, Zhang Hexuan didn't despise her and was busy around her.

"I'll ask Aunt Qin to boil some water for you." Zhang Hexuan said.

Zhang Hexuan lives here with only his uncle Zhang Dali to accompany him. There is also a servant named Qin who takes care of his daily life. She is responsible for cooking for the family. As for washing clothes, Zhang Dali outsources the washing to outside laundry workers.

Aunt Qin was busy making breakfast early in the morning. Their breakfast was quite rich, with rice, two side dishes, and pancakes that Aunt Qin had made early in the morning.

Here, pancakes, porridge, steamed buns, etc. are considered daily staples.

Zhang Dali had the steamed buns that Nie Shen'er bought outside, so he didn't eat breakfast.

Zhang Dali invited Nie Feng and his family to have breakfast.

After Nie Shen'er took a bath, Nie Feng and Pinghua also took a bath.

Zhang Dali saw that Nie Feng and Mrs. Nie looked extremely tired, so he told them to go in and sleep, while he went to lead Shen'er in practicing martial arts.
