Chapter 224: Chapter 224: Preparing to Leave

After Lu Feng’s transfer order came through, Fu Xiaoxiao started packing up the things in the house.

Lu Feng slaughtered the few fattened rabbits to make them into jerky, which was easy to manage with the new furniture. Lu Feng planned to transport them over; they were his bridal gift for Fu Xiaoxiao, and not a single piece could be missing.

Anyway, there’s still half a month left to prepare, so Fu Xiaoxiao is organizing things slowly.

For Lu Lin’s school, he’ll definitely have to drop out.

Fu Xiaoxiao asked Lin Qiu to help her make a lot of candy and went with Lu Lin and Lu Chen to Upper River Village.

The village remained peaceful after the New Year.

When Fu Xiaoxiao, Lu Lin, and Lu Chen arrived, the villagers were gathered around the fire, and Aunt Wang stood up excitedly upon seeing them.

"Oh my, my two little sweethearts, you finally came." Aunt Wang came forward and hugged Lu Lin and Lu Chen.

"Grandma Wang, Happy New Year." Lu Chen called out sweetly.

"Oh!" Aunt Wang’s heart melted instantly, and she immediately took out two red envelopes and stuffed them into the hands of the two little ones.

Fu Xiaoxiao was stunned. "Auntie..."

"It’s for the little ones, you can’t refuse it." Aunt Wang gave Fu Xiaoxiao a look, forbidding her from declining.

"This is for your grandson." Fu Xiaoxiao chuckled lightly, taking out a bag of candy and placing it in Aunt Wang’s arms.

Using her own words to counter, "This is for your grandson, you can’t refuse."

"...You little rascal, I can’t win against you." Aunt Wang, playfully defeated, accepted it with a smile, not showing any sign of anger.

"Aunt Zhang, Aunt Zhang the Second, Aunt the Third, this is for you." Fu Xiaoxiao laughed as she took out three bags and handed them to the three people behind Aunt Wang.

"Hahaha, well, well." The three accepted happily and then took out red envelopes for Lu Lin and Lu Chen.

"Happy New Year." Fu Xiaoxiao laughed, taking out another bag to share a few candies with everyone.

"You’re so courteous..." Everyone was surprised and invited their children over with smiles.

The children didn’t care, excitedly gathered around, and fell in love with the candy after just one bite.

No child can resist the power of sweets.

"Auntie, in half a month, I might have to leave with my husband to another place due to his transfer." Fu Xiaoxiao explained the reason for her visit, as this might be one of the few times they can meet.

Aunt Wang and the others were taken aback with a hint of reluctance in their eyes. "So soon?"

Such matters aren’t strange to them, since soldiers are often transferred, but Fu Xiaoxiao leaving does make them feel reluctant.

"There’s still time." Fu Xiaoxiao chuckled lightly. "I’ll come back to visit you all when there’s a chance in the future."

"You’re a smart girl; I believe wherever you go, you’ll manage just fine." Aunt Wang held Fu Xiaoxiao’s hand; she’s seen many people, but Fu Xiaoxiao was one she liked at first sight.

Someone as understanding and clever as Fu Xiaoxiao will do well wherever she goes. Aunt Wang isn’t worried about her having a hard life, just sad she won’t see her as often.

"Auntie, thank you all, you’ve been as warm as family to me." Fu Xiaoxiao hugged Aunt Wang, remembering how Aunt Wang often stood up to defend her, the feeling of being protected made Fu Xiaoxiao truly moved.

Even though they had only met a few times, Aunt Wang unhesitatingly defended her, cursed at people for her, and stood up for her.

"Don’t say things like that, it makes my eyes fill with sand." Aunt Wang’s eyes turned red; she can’t handle such words.

"Grandma Wang, Grandma Zhangs, we’ll miss you all." Lu Chen mimicked Fu Xiaoxiao, hugging them one by one, calling out.

"Without your sweet little tongue, where will we hear such sweet words in the future?" Aunt Zhangs were reluctant to let Lu Chen go; his sweet little tongue truly delighted them.

Even at home with their own grandchildren, none were as cute and obedient as Lu Chen.

Fu Xiaoxiao looked at them, even though her time here was short, they had been very warm and kind.

"If you don’t mind, once I get there, I’ll write you letters." Fu Xiaoxiao looked at them and asked.

"What are you saying, it’s not us minding but you not minding us; we’re just village women, can’t help you much." Aunt Wang gently patted Fu Xiaolan; they wouldn’t mind her.

As long as she doesn’t mind them and is willing to write to them, they would be more than happy!

"So it’s decided, give me your address, and I’ll write you letters." Fu Xiaoxiao smiled, holding their hands.

"Alright, alright." Aunt Wang agreed with a smile.

"I’ll go ask the village chief for the address." Aunt Zhang hurried to find the village chief, only he knew the village’s address, as they had never written letters before.

After getting the address, Fu Xiaoxiao and the others bid farewell to them and headed to the youth camp.

The youths gathered together during New Year’s, and when Fu Xiaoxiao arrived, she saw them receiving packages from home and sharing them.

As Fu Xiaoxiao entered, they all froze for a moment.

"Uh, is there something you need?" They looked at Fu Xiaoxiao cautiously.

"Why are you here? Looking for me?" Xiao Heng just happened to come out, and upon seeing Fu Xiaoxiao, immediately greeted her.

"I’ve come to find Zhao Qing." Fu Xiaoxiao said to Xiao Heng.

"Zhao Qing." Xiao Heng called out, and Zhao Qing hurried over, a bit taken aback.

"After the New Year, Xiao Lin won’t be reporting back; we need to move with his father to another place, so I’m here to inform you." Fu Xiaoxiao quietly said to Zhao Qing.

"Goodbye, Teacher Zhao." Lu Lin nodded at Zhao Qing, having a pretty good impression of him.

"Really? That’s great to hear!" Zhao Qing smiled at Fu Xiaoxiao. "Xiao Lin’s foundation was lacking, but now he’s caught up a lot, able to keep up with us without falling behind."

"When free at home, read more books; I believe you’ll get even better!" Zhao Qing earnestly told Lu Lin.

"Thank you, teacher." Lu Lin nodded; Fu Xiaoxiao often gave him assignments and focused tutoring, allowing him to improve quickly.

Fu Xiaoxiao ruffled Lu Lin’s hair, said goodbye to Zhao Qing, and prepared to leave.

Xiao Heng frowned and rushed after her.

"Xiaoxiao."

"Xiao Heng, is there anything else?" Fu Xiaoxiao turned to look at Xiao Heng and asked.

"My mom belongs to my dad!" Lu Chen suddenly reached out to protect Fu Xiaoxiao, not letting Xiao Heng get close.

"What are you saying!" Fu Xiaoxiao laughed and ruffled Lu Chen’s hair, wondering why the little rascal thought Xiao Heng liked her.

"Sorry! My son is a bit mischievous." Fu Xiaoxiao apologized to Xiao Heng.

Xiao Heng looked at Fu Xiaoxiao with a complex expression and shook his head. "If you weren’t married, I would definitely pursue you."

Fu Xiaoxiao was taken aback, while Lu Chen puffed out his chest, confirming his suspicion!

Lu Lin looked up at Xiao Heng, frowning. "My mom doesn’t agree."

"Stop joking, there’s no possibility between us." Fu Xiaoxiao laughed, thinking Xiao Heng was kidding.

If it weren’t for marrying Lu Feng, she wouldn’t have even crossed paths with Xiao Heng; she wouldn’t have appeared here.

So that condition doesn’t hold.
