Chapter 402 Yunxia (Happy New Year)
After Qingming Festival, the Zhang family's life underwent a great change.

Zhang Yunqi bought a luxurious single-family villa in the Shuixie Yundu villa area.

The Shuixieyundu Villa complex was built in the early 90s. For a long time, it was considered the place where the richest people in Jiangchuan lived. It was an aristocratic symbol of prosperity and wealth.

The entire community consists of 58 villas, including single-family and duplex villas. It is located on the south side of the intersection of Gongruishan Road and Zhongrong Road in Anyang Street, at the foot of Suxianling Mountain. For Jiang Chuan at that time, such a luxurious garden villa area was indeed a residential resort and a paradise on earth.

The single-family villa that Zhang Yunqi bought covers an area of ​​two acres, with a usable area of ​​2000 square meters and four and a half floors. Behind it is an unobstructed mountain view. Facing north and south, it is high up and overlooks the entire Chunjiang River.

In this way, the Zhang family moved into this wealthy area with pleasant scenery and safety. From then on, the Zhang family's children were picked up and dropped off at school by car.

At the same time, Zhang Yunqi transferred the Zhangji Qifengdu Fish Powder City No. 1 Store to Zhangji Catering Company for management. After Zhang's mother's health improved and she was discharged from the hospital, she no longer insisted on this matter. In the past, she was always reluctant to give up the fish powder store, saying that she was old and stared at TV at home from morning to night every day, and her whole body felt uncomfortable. She really couldn't stay idle, and she had nothing to talk about with the retired intellectual old men and women in the community. She had to do something to feel comfortable. But experience is always more convincing than words. For safety reasons and to prevent her children from worrying about her, she retired directly.

Chu Jian's mother Jiang Feng was supposed to continue working at the No. 1 Middle School store, but Zhang's mother disagreed.

For Zhang Yunqi, this matter was embarrassing.

The villa has a large backyard, which was originally used to grow flowers and grass. Before moving, Zhang came to take a look and was very satisfied with this backyard. It is close to the mountains and the water, and it is perfect for growing fruits and vegetables and raising fish.

At that time, Zhang's mother said to Zhang Yunqi: "You want to hire a nanny, right? It just so happens that I am used to staying with Chu Jian's mother. She can come and help me do housework and grow fruits and vegetables. I will have a companion, and my life will not be so lonely. You don't have to worry about the salary."

Zhang Yunqi agreed without even thinking about it.

He smiled and massaged his mother's shoulders and back. He didn't know what his mother was thinking. Anyway, there were some things he was not easy to say. Once his mother opened her mouth, everything became more natural.

Aunt Zhang continued, "Your older brother and older sister have moved out, so there are only five of us in the family. Your father often stays with Yunxi, so our big house is empty. I think if Jiang Feng comes to work, her two daughters can move in as well. Otherwise, if Jiang Feng works here alone, it will not only be inconvenient to come and go every day, but Chu Xin will have no one to take care of her. You and Chu Jian can also go to school together, which is convenient."

Zhang Yunqi agreed again without thinking.

that's it.

On the day the Zhang family moved, Chu Jian’s family also moved.

When she first met her mother Jiang Feng, there was naturally no reason for her to disagree. Over the years, she had been alone and helpless, raising two daughters as a mute. It was only thanks to the help of Zhang Yunqi's family that she was able to live a stable life.

This time when the Zhang family was in trouble, she was completely panicked. Now that she has gotten over this, her biggest thought is about Zhang Yunqi and her daughter's first meeting. As long as the two children are doing well, she has nothing to worry about. From the perspective of selfish human nature, this ill-fated woman may have a bit of a taste of climbing, but the reality is that which parent does not want their daughter to find a good family? Moreover, Zhang Yunqi's performance in every aspect over the years has been full of satisfaction with the first meeting, and there is really nothing to complain about.
Chu Jian's younger sister Chu Xin is developmentally delayed. Although she can speak, she is not very sensible. She just wants to play with Xiao Xiao every day. The two little girls have to sleep in the same bed.

As for the first meeting, for her, it was a psychological state that was difficult to explain. She naturally wanted to be with Zhang Yunqi. No matter from which angle, the two of them were already in a de facto relationship. However, due to age and schooling, they were far from the stage of talking about marriage. Living in Zhang's house, under the same roof, she naturally felt that it was wrong. It was difficult for her to feel at ease, but she had no other choice in this matter. She was not only herself, she also had to consider her mother and sister, just like what Zhang Yunqi had done for her and her family silently over the years. She was afraid that she would become an insatiable person, but she had no way to refuse. Instead, Zhang Yunqi often comforted her. However, comfort was also a kind of friendship. The friendship superimposed on her became more and more, and deeper and deeper. She was very grateful, and she also felt a sense of burden.

After moving, the Zhang family held a family dinner.

After experiencing this great change, everyone's heart was filled with indescribable emotions.

Mother Zhang was very happy. Although this old woman had not received much education and was usually short-tempered, she always had a calm demeanor when faced with major events. She and Father Zhang sat at the top table and said to their grown-up children, "This time, we have turned a disaster into a blessing. From now on, our Zhang family will be blessed. You should all live a down-to-earth life, run your business in an orderly manner, and do not do anything that would offend your conscience. You don't have to worry about ghosts knocking on your door."

Zhang's father also said, holding a glass of wine: "The past is the past, don't mention it anymore. There is always money to be made. A family is safe and sound, with food and drink, which is better than anything else."

Zhang Yunfeng drank a lot of wine.

He thought a lot and was under a lot of pressure.

For him, this lesson was too great. Over the years, with the help of the third brother, he was a successful man with a happy family in Jiangchuan. However, human desires seemed endless, and compared to the time when he was digging in the fields, he didn't seem to be much happier.

He didn't know why.

This time, his sister Chunlan was kidnapped, his brother Yunqi was arrested, his mother fainted and was hospitalized, Liansheng suffered, Lianzhong had a bunch of weird things, and Zhangji Catering was blocked by merchants every day. Such a big thing happened, and he, the eldest son of the Zhang family, was at a loss and could not do anything. He had no idea what to do. However, he was panicked to find out how happy his previous life was.

With these emotions, Zhang Yunfeng raised his glass and clinked glasses with his younger brother Zhang Yunqi.

The two brothers drank until late at night.

The next morning, the sun was shining brightly.

Chu Jian did not get up early as usual, because after moving here, they went to and from school together, so she got up half an hour later than usual, at six o'clock.

When I first saw Zhang Yunqi washing up, I saw him sitting on the windowsill, wearing headphones and riding his newly bought bicycle, circling around the gate of the villa.

The morning sun was very warm, shining through the locust leaves onto the boy's body. He was wearing a white T-shirt with a black wool cardigan on the outside. He had a tall figure, thin cheeks, and a faint smile on the corners of his mouth under his fluffy hair. He looked very handsome.

When he first saw her, he was stunned for a moment, then called out "Yunqi".

Zhang Yunqi stepped on the brake, looked up at the girl in front of the window and said, "Let's go to school."

When I first saw her, she smiled with her lips pursed, and her appearance was clean and clear.

This girl has always done things in an orderly manner, but at this time she seemed a little clumsy. She rinsed her mouth, washed her face, went to the toilet, changed clothes, got milk, and went downstairs with her schoolbag. She finished all these very quickly and came to Zhang Yun.

Chu Jian handed the milk over: "Here, drink it first."

Zhang Yunqi drank the milk in two or three gulps, threw the milk carton into the trash can, patted the back seat of the bicycle, and the girl sat on it with a smile.

Zhang Yunqi rode his brand new bicycle, carrying Chu Jian, all the way through Shuixie Yundu.

The waterside Yundu is full of locust trees, which are already green and shady in spring. The locust trees are lush, the birds are singing, and the beauty of grass growing and warblers flying seems to be everywhere.

After leaving the villa area, Zhang Yunqi's bicycle weaved through the crowds of people and cars. The streets were filled with the aroma of fried dough sticks and steamed buns, and pedestrians were walking hurriedly. A boy took a girl for a ride in the spring breeze through the streets and alleys of Jiangchuan City. When they approached No. 1 Middle School, warm clouds floated in the distant sky.

I knew when I first met her that there wouldn’t be many such times in the future.
