Thanos's biological daughter in period fiction

Chapter 263 Moving into the Family Compound

During the few days from when they boarded the train to when they disembarked, not many people came to the sleeper carriages, and they were not assigned to the compartment where they were.

They didn't report this to us, and the whole family was together. They were all in the car, so no one came to pick them up.

They got off the car, and Xia Jixuan led them to sit down on the benches in the waiting area: "You guys rest here for a while, I'll go get a car. It's a bit far from here to our residence, and there are very few cars going that way, not even buses." The only place they could borrow a car from was the county government compound in the county town, where he had quite a few good brothers with high-ranking positions.

It's just borrowing a car; I can go anytime, anywhere.

“Okay, we’ll wait here. No rush. There’s a state-run restaurant nearby. Let’s go there first and have a meal.” Liu Fangmei wasn’t in a hurry. It was lunchtime, and there was a Guolin Restaurant not far from the train station. They had eaten there last time and the chef’s cooking was quite good.

"Okay, I'll take you there before I leave." Although there were a few teenagers, they were still a little worried about the old man's health.

When they took the old man to the state-run restaurant, they gave him a small half-cup of water mixed with spring water from the space before they felt at ease and went to the county committee compound.

Upon entering the state-run restaurant, Liu Fangmei entrusted the task of ordering food to her daughter. Since the two families had lived so close for so long, her daughter remembered the family members' and the Shen family's grandfather and grandson's living habits and favorite dishes very clearly.

Xiao Heiban noticed that there weren't many good dishes available today, so he only ordered a few bowls of shredded pork noodles and nothing else.

The noodles had just been served when Xia's father drove up in his military truck. It had three seats in the front, and the rest had to sit in the back.

They had thoughtfully placed a few small stools inside. After eating, they quickly got into the car. It would take several hours to get from this small county town to the city center. The car's shock absorption wasn't very good, and it swayed all the way. By the time they arrived at the residents' area, Xia Yutang was so carsick that she could hardly bear it anymore.

After getting off the bus, her older brother carried her into the house. Seeing his daughter looking so dejected, Xia Jixuan felt heartbroken.

I've never been like this before, I didn't know I'd get so carsick this time?

"Tangtang, are you alright? Do you feel nauseous?" Liu Fangmei reached out and touched her daughter's hair. She noticed that her daughter didn't have a fever, but was a little cold, and her hands were also a little cold. She looked at her daughter with some concern.

His daughter seems to have never gotten carsick before, but this time, perhaps because she changed trains too many times, she started feeling drowsy after only a short while on the train.

"It's okay, I'll lie down when I get back. I'm just a little dizzy, but I don't feel nauseous." She didn't expect to get carsick this time.

"Wait a moment. Eldest, carry your sister on your back while I clean the kang outside. The room hasn't been lived in for a long time, so it'll only take a little time to tidy it up. Second, you and Xiaoyuan go outside and get some firewood to heat up all the kangs in the room." Although it's not that cold now, kangs that haven't been lived in for a long time will always get damp. They need to be heated up before anyone can live in them, otherwise the dampness will seep into their bodies.

"Yes, Mother..."

"Okay, Auntie..."

While they were cleaning, many neighbors who had come out to watch the commotion saw Xia Jixuan bring his people in. Several of the older women from next door who had gotten along well with Liu Fangmei came over to help. Seeing that the little girl seemed listless and was clinging to her older brother's back, they were a little worried and asked what was wrong.

"She just got dizzy from changing buses. This bus came from the plateau region, so she might also be experiencing some altitude sickness. It's nothing serious, she'll be fine after lying down." Liu Fangmei suddenly remembered that it's normal for people in Nada County to experience some altitude sickness since it's located on a plateau. It's funny that she only started experiencing symptoms after arriving here.

"Ladies and gentlemen, we're having an engagement banquet in a few days, come and join the fun..." The three parents were discussing whether to hold an engagement banquet here when they were in front of the truck. The old man didn't want to be too high-profile.

But thinking about how outstanding his granddaughter-in-law was, and how she was already a member of the military region, he had also heard from his grandson that many people had come to persuade Xia Jixuan to let his daughter join the army as well.

To prevent their granddaughter-in-law from being poached by someone else, they held an engagement banquet to assert their ownership, right?

"Which one? Which of your three sons is getting engaged?" The sisters-in-law all looked at Liu Fangmei, their eyes full of curiosity.

All three members of the Xia family are exceptionally beautiful, especially the young girl. They all want to see who can win the hearts of these three unattainable beauties of the Xia family.

These two boys, who are serving in the army here, are often targeted by girls who try to stage accidents for them, but they are too clever and never succeed in doing so.

Liu Fangmei glanced at her daughter, and the other women followed her gaze and saw a boy and a girl over there.

"The eldest son?" The main reason for guessing it was the eldest son is because he is old, already 21, and it's time for him to find someone.

"The smaller one," Liu Fangmei said, gesturing with her chin to her daughter.

"Who? Which family's boy is so lucky?" It's unbelievable, the girl is only 14. Such a beautiful and capable girl, why is the Xia family in such a hurry to marry her off?

"The Shen family's, look, this is it." Liu Fang pointed to Shen Zhiyuan, who had just brought in firewood from outside.

"Why does this child look so familiar?" An aunt standing next to Liu Fangmei looked at Shen Zhiyuan's delicate and handsome face and felt that he looked familiar no matter how she looked at him.

The main reason is that Old Master Shen isn't here. As soon as they entered the compound, they saw quite a few people, several of whom were Old Master Shen's former subordinates. They were bringing Old Master Shen over and catching up.

"The child of Chief Shen?" Looking at Shen Zhiyuan's delicate features, the aunt suddenly remembered Chief Shen, who had been retired for more than 10 years.

The child's eyes and eyebrows look remarkably like the old commander. This aunt is quite old, old enough to be a grandmother. Among all the aunts, he is the only one who has ever met the old commander, Shen.

"Yes, he is the only son in his family."

"I knew it! This kid looked so familiar. He performed with the cultural troupe a few years ago during the Spring Festival. He was the one who played the piano."

Hearing her aunt say this, Xia Yutang was somewhat impressed by her aunt's memory. Six or seven years had passed, yet this aunt could still remember the piano that Shen Zhiyuan had played at the cultural performance.
