After time travel, share a space with your modern family.
Chapter 19: Rural Life Begins
Ruan Wanfu and Zhang Yufang rushed back to their rural home overnight, much to Wu Ma's delight. If the Ruan family hadn't returned, she would have been all alone in the empty house.
Ruan Haohao once suggested that another person be invited to keep Wu Ma company, but Wu Ma insisted that she could manage on her own and did not want to increase the expenses.
In the early morning, when Aunt Wu saw Ruan Wanfu and Zhang Yufang coming downstairs, her face beamed with a warm smile, and she quickly greeted them, "Good morning, sir and madam!"
Zhang Yufang responded with a smile, "Good morning, Aunt Wu! We'll go for a walk first, and then come back for breakfast later."
Wu Ma was curious to find that since her husband and wife returned yesterday, they seemed to have been rejuvenated, completely changing their previous listless appearance. Especially seeing that her wife was able to emerge from the shadow of losing her daughter, Wu Ma was genuinely happy for them.
At this moment, Ruan Wanfu and Zhang Yufang, dressed in comfortable and light sportswear, strolled hand in hand leisurely along the country lane. They occasionally encountered villagers and greeted each other in a friendly manner.
Sunlight bathed them, radiating happiness. A gentle breeze rustled the leaves, as if blessing them. Flowers blooming along the roadside released their fragrant aroma, soothing the soul. Birds sang merrily in the branches, seemingly welcoming their return.
Everything here was so peaceful and serene, bringing joy to their hearts. Ruan Wanfu and Zhang Yufang enjoyed this rare tranquility, appreciating the beauty of nature. They walked through fields and groves, admiring the rural scenery along the way and reminiscing about the past.
On this familiar land, they found inner peace and tranquility. Here, there was no urban hustle and bustle, only simple, honest folk and beautiful natural scenery. They took a deep breath of the fresh air, feeling the earth's essence, their hearts filled with love and anticipation for life.
The two walked from one end of the village to the other. Just as they were about to reach their doorstep, they suddenly heard a soft footstep coming from the door next door.
"Yufang, is it really you? I thought I was seeing things!" The speaker was Liu Rongzhen, the wife of their neighbor Ruan Wanchang. Because the two families lived close by and were related within five degrees of kinship, they knew each other very well.
Zhang Yufang smiled and replied warmly, "Yes, Rongzhen, it's been a long time! We're back to stay for a while. You're welcome to visit us sometime!"
"Alright, now that you're staying here permanently, we can see each other every day. Remember to visit me sometime! By the way, you've just gotten back, so there must be a lot of things to tidy up at home, right? Just let me know if you need any help," Liu Rongzhen said with concern, then picked up the bucket to water the vegetables.
"Thank you, Rongzhen. We can handle it ourselves. We'll definitely come to chat with you when we have time," Zhang Yufang replied gratefully.
Watching Liu Rongzhen's departing figure, Zhang Yufang couldn't help but sigh, "Honey, I still prefer living here. It feels so comfortable and at ease. And the neighbors are all familiar faces from the village; everyone looks out for each other, which is very heartwarming. Unlike in the city, where even if you live in the same neighborhood, you might never even see your neighbors!"
She recalled her days living in the city, saying that although she was busy with work, she always lacked a sense of belonging.
She knew that the reason she was able to adapt to the pace of city life was mainly because of work, which left her with little time to think about other things. However, now that she has returned to her hometown, she truly feels the peace and tranquility there.
"Aunt Wu, we're back! Let's go upstairs and wash up first, then we can have dinner soon." Zhang Yufang and Ruan Wanfu stepped into the room and called out towards the kitchen as they heard sounds coming from inside.
"Okay, I got it." Wu Ma's reply came from the kitchen.
"Honey, do you think Mumu came home last night?" Zhang Yufang asked her husband in a low voice as they walked.
"Perhaps!" Ruan Wanfu also couldn't give a definite answer, after all, he and his wife were just as clueless about this matter!
"I wonder if she'll be able to see us once she gets inside?"
"Probably not, right? Look at that arrogant Mr. Zi, there are many things that he's willing to do but unable to do! Not to mention Mu Mu." Ruan Wanfu responded to his wife's question.
"Mr. Ruan, Mrs. Ruan, I can't do that at the moment, but you'll have more opportunities to meet when you're promoted to a certain level in the future." Suddenly, the familiar robotic voice rang in the couple's ears again.
"So what exactly do you need to upgrade?" the couple asked almost simultaneously.
"Of course it's money! I need to spend a lot of money to upgrade!" The purple elf's words revealed an undisguised sense of pride.
"Honey, given our family's financial situation, I'm afraid it will be difficult to help Purple Elf complete her upgrade?" Zhang Yufang couldn't help but feel a little anxious.
After all, while their family wasn't exactly poor, they certainly weren't wealthy either; at most, they had a little savings.
However, Ruan Wanfu shook his head, indicating that there was still a way: "Not necessarily, there will always be a way."
"What method?" Zhang Yufang and Purple Elf asked in unison once again. Zhang Yufang was concerned about whether she would have more opportunities to see her daughter, while Purple Elf was hoping that the space could be successfully upgraded so that it could gain more powerful functions.
“We can simply give all those advanced modern gadgets to Mumu and have her take them to ancient times to sell to those wealthy people. Then, we can bring back those rare and valuable ancient items and hold an auction or something here in modern times,” Ruan Wanfu said smugly, outlining his plan.
"Honey, you truly are a business elite! You even came up with such a solution," Zhang Yufang praised.
"Hehe..." Ruan Wanfu chuckled. The reason he was able to achieve success in the business world was because of his wife's encouragement and support. Even though they had been married for almost thirty years, their relationship was still as sweet as honey.
