Armed with a machete and a gun, armed with a system, they fled the famine.

Zhao Yan was afraid that they would compromise because of her, so she looked at Tian Xiu'e and her husband and said to them, "Sister Tian, ​​Brother Chen An, you should also think it over carefully. Don't compromise because of me. I'm used to being free, so I prefer to live in the countryside. You don't need to worry about my thoughts. Think about your future carefully before making a decision."

Tian Xiu'e and her husband Chen An exchanged a glance, their expressions slightly grave.

To be honest, Tian Xiu'e also disliked the hustle and bustle of Beijing.

She felt it was too noisy and that the quiet countryside was much more comfortable.

But she knew her husband was different from her.

He's a man, so he must really want to stay and do something.

Tian Xiu'e sighed inwardly and quietly said to the man beside her, "Brother An, you decide. I... I'll listen to you."

She was a woman who followed her husband wherever he pleased; whatever he wanted, she had no choice but to obey.

Chen An's expression showed slight emotion.

He turned to look at Yang Sanlang and asked in a low voice, "Sanlang, what do you think? Are you really planning to go back to the farm with your sister-in-law?"

He didn't believe that Sanlang had no ambitions at all.

To everyone's surprise, Yang Sanlang nodded with an extremely serious expression.

"Yes, I've made up my mind. I'll be wherever Yan'er and the children are from now on."

Before the world is at peace, he might still be thinking about protecting his country.

But now that the world is at peace, he has given up on those thoughts.

His beloved Yan'er harbors a great secret, and he must protect her.

What the future holds depends on what Dou Qingran can accomplish.

Upon hearing this, Chen An's brows furrowed tightly.

Was his previous acquaintance with Sanlang merely a facade?

Is this the real Saburo?

"Sanlang, you..."

Hey.

He didn't know what to say.

He thought that Sanlang would be like him, wanting to do something so that his family could live a better life.

But don't want to...

That’s all.

He realized that ever since Sanlang had his younger brother and sister-in-law, his mind had been entirely focused on them.

Moreover, his wife Xiu'e's mind... may not care at all what achievements he makes or what career he establishes.

All she wants is for her whole family to live together peacefully.

Chen An turned to look at Tian Xiu'e beside him, and suddenly said to Zhao Yan and the others, "Sister-in-law, Uncle Yuan, Uncle Su, Xiu'e and I have made up our minds and decided to go back to the farm with Sanlang and the others."

As soon as he finished speaking, Tian Xiu'e looked at him in surprise.

"Brother An..."

Chen An quickly patted the back of her hand twice.

"Xiu'e, you don't need to say anything. I've already thought it through. The capital is bustling, but it's not easy to live there. Why don't we build a small house in the countryside and live there from now on? Besides, haven't you always disliked living in the city?"

Tian Xiu'e was so moved that she burst into tears.

"Brother An, you're so kind."

Zhao Yan and the others were instantly bombarded with a mouthful of dog food (a Chinese slang term for witnessing public displays of affection), while the parties involved were completely unaware.

The most composed Yuan Yutang coughed twice and said with a smile, "Alright, since everyone wants to go back to the farm, how about we go back in a few days?"

He had already thought it through; returning to the farm was a good option.

Nestled against the mountains, the area boasts a tranquil environment, making it ideal for retirement.

Moreover, the villagers of Huaihua Village across the street have a good relationship with them, so there won't be any unpleasantness in their interactions in the future.

He turned to look at Su Yanzhi.

"Brother Su, what do you think?"

Su Yanzhi said that there is nothing that is impossible.

"I also can."

He had no children and it didn't matter where he lived.

Seeing that everyone agreed to return to the farm, Zhao Yan immediately said, "Okay, let's do as Uncle Yuan said. Everyone should rest well for the next few days, and we'll set off in a few days."

Since they were leaving in a few days, they didn't unload everything from the carriage. They only moved the bedding and blankets they would use at night to their bedroom, and left the rest largely untouched.

The next day, Dou Xingyan heard that Zhao Yan and the others were going back to the farm, so she came to Zhao Yan's place early in the morning and hugged her, crying.

"Sister Zhao, why are you suddenly going back to the farm? Why not stay in the capital? I was hoping to be your neighbor in the future."

Zhao Yan gently patted Dou Xingyan on the back and said softly, "It's not that sudden. Returning to the farm was a decision I made a long time ago, but I just haven't told you yet."

"Don't cry, or Brother Shen will think I bullied you."

Dou Xingyan embarrassedly wiped away her tears, but the thought that Zhao Yan and the others would be leaving the capital in a couple of days made her feel down again.

"But I still can't bear to see you go..."

“We’re not far apart. When you get married to Brother Shen, I’ll come and see you off.”

Speaking of this, Dou Xingyan blushed instantly with embarrassment.

"Sister Zhao, you're teasing me again. Brother Shen and I... it's still a long way off."

Although her brother didn't object to her being with Shen Yu, he never expressed his opinion.

She was constantly worried, fearing that once her brother became emperor, he would start to make things difficult for Brother Shen.

Zhao Yan glanced at her face and asked tentatively, "By the way, speaking of this, has Brother Shen told you about the marriage? Brother Shen is all alone in his family. If he doesn't understand, I'll give him some pointers later."

Dou Xingyan buried her head in her chest, becoming even more embarrassed, and said, "Brother Shen said so, but... I haven't told my brother about it yet..."

Oh.

It turns out the problem was with Dou Qingran.

Zhao Yan smiled indifferently.

"No problem. I'll invite your brother and Brother Shen out later and let them have a good drink. Men, they'll open up over drinks."

She really didn't know how to put it.

In the front courtyard, Shen Yu was also discussing this matter with Yang Sanlang.

"Brother Yang, I'm afraid my current status is beneath Xingyan."

He is currently a commoner, while Xingyan is not a princess, but she is more like one.

His desire to marry Xingyan is like a toad lusting after a swan.

Yang Sanlang patted him on the shoulder and comforted him: "Don't worry, Brother Dou isn't that kind of person."

"Didn't you say you were going to reopen the restaurant? How's it going? Have you found a location yet?"

Only when this was mentioned did Shen Yu regain his spirits.

"I've found a place. It's currently under renovation and will be open in about a month. I'll invite Brother Yang and his wife to the restaurant for a nice drink then."

"Okay, we'll drink until we drop!"

Yang Sanlang readily agreed.

The two quickly changed the subject and started talking about other things.

Yang Sanlang told Shen Yu that they would be leaving the capital soon, and Shen Yu immediately asked in surprise, "Brother Yang, you said you were going back to the farm? Why do you suddenly want to go back? Wouldn't it be better to stay?"

After all that he and Zhao Yan did, they're actually going to leave each other in the end?
