Chapter 365 - Family of Five
Chapter 365 of "Peach Blossom Divine Medical God" starts with unexpected events: Chen Yang thought for sure that Zhang Xueying would agree, but to his surprise, she... Find out more!
Chen Yang thought for sure that Zhang Xueying would agree, but to his surprise, she declined.
âNo need, Chen Yang, you must be busy with things.
I can bring my parents and Xiaoxiao over by myself; no need to trouble you.â
Zhang Xueying said this very normally.
But to Chen Yang, it sounded a bit off.
Their relationship was very close, so speaking in such a reserved manner seemed somewhat estranged.
Chen Yang noticed this.
âSilly girl, whatâs there to fuss about between us?
Is your own family a trouble?
Besides, I havenât seen Xiaoxiao in a long time.
Listen to me, wait for me in Maotou Village, Iâll come over after lunch.â
Having said this, Chen Yang authoritatively hung up the phone, not giving Zhang Xueying a chance to continue speaking.
On the other end of the phone, Zhang Xueying was deeply moved by Chen Yangâs words.
Chen Yang had always remembered her; he hadnât forgotten her.
Afternoon.
After lunch, Chen Yang set off as planned, driving the minivan straight to Maotou Village.
Knowing that Chen Yang would come to pick them up today, Zhang Xueyingâs family had already packed up everything they needed in the morning.
Seeing Chen Yang driving up to their house,
they immediately moved all their belongings outside.
Chen Yang got out of the van and immediately started to help.
âLet me do it.
Is everything packed up?â
Chen Yang asked.
âAll set, Chen Yang.
Everythingâs inside,â
Zhang Xueying replied.
âGreat, help your father into the van first, and you wait in the van with Xiaoxiao.
Leave everything to me.â
Chen Yang said, smiling as he opened the trunk and began loading the items.
Hearing this, Zhang Xueying nodded, then turned around to fetch her parents.
Mr.
Zhang, who also knew Chen Yang well, was full of warmth when he saw him.
âDivine Doctor, youâre here, what a trouble, always involving you with our family matters.â
Mr.
Zhang said politely.
Chen Yang chuckled and waved it off, âUncle Zhang, why be so formal with me?
Itâs all but a light effort.â
Chen Yang affectionately called him Uncle Zhang.
Hearing this address, Mr.
Zhangâs mood brightened further.
After exchanging a few pleasantries, Mr.
Zhang boarded the van.
Chen Yang and Zhang Xueying then began moving things.
Although Zhang Xueying had quite a lot of belongings, Chen Yangâs minivan could fit them all.
Once everything required for their move to Liuhe Village was loaded, Chen Yang and Zhang Xueying also climbed into the minivan.
Mr.
Zhang and Mrs.
Zhang sat in the back, while Chen Yang and Zhang Xueying sat in front.
Zhang Xueying was still holding Xiaoxiao in her arms.
The little girl, having not seen him for many days, wasnât shy at all and grinned at Chen Yang, obviously fond of him.
Chen Yang felt very joyful and didnât rush to drive.
He reached out and teased Xiaoxiao a bit.
Then he started the vehicle and began the drive home.
When moving, there wasnât much conversation, but once they were in the car, the chatter increased.
Mr.
Zhang and Mrs.
Zhang started by expressing their gratitude to Chen Yang.
They were grateful for the two times Chen Yang had treated Mr.
Zhangâs illness, the last demolishment issue, and the Gu Familyâs apology.
These were all significant matters.
All handled by Chen Yang, how could Mr.
Zhang and Mrs.
Zhang not be grateful?
But after they expressed their thanks, Chen Yang laughed and said they didnât need to be so formal, as they were all family.
Being so formal made it awkward.
Chen Yang spoke pretty straightforwardly,
without thinking much about it.
Only after he spoke did he realize it might have been a bit improper.
Glancing at Zhang Xueying in the passenger seat, her cheeks were already flushed.
Mr.
Zhang and Mrs.
Zhang laughed even louder,
feeling secretly delighted inside.
They sensed that something might develop between Zhang Xueying and Chen Yang!
But what they didnât know was that in Chen Yangâs heart, he had already regarded Zhang Xueying as his woman.
It was just that the timing wasnât right yet.
Thus, they returned to Liuhe Village in joyful and light-hearted spirits.
Upon entering the village, Zhang Xueying saw the newly repaired road by the roadside and some noticeable changes in Liuhe Village, and she couldnât help but be surprised.
âHow long was I gone for?
Why has the village changed so much?â
Zhang Xueying exclaimed in surprise.
Chen Yang smiled lightly, âA lot has happened in the village recently, itâs hard to explain all at once, youâll understand after staying a while.â
âOh.
Zhang Xueying nodded and did not speak any further.
Before long, Chen Yang drove into Liuhu Village, and finally, the van stopped in front of Zhang Xueyingâs house.
After stopping, Zhang Xueying and Chen Yang both got out of the car.
Chen Yang even casually opened the back door.
Allowing Grandpa Zhang and Grandma Zhang to get down.
Zhang Xueying then took out her keys and went to open her own door.
âMom and Dad, you both go inside first.
Leave the moving of stuff to me and Brother Chen Yang,â
After opening the door, Zhang Xueying immediately said to Grandpa Zhang and Grandma Zhang.
âAlright, I wonât bother you.
Iâll go inside and sit.â
Grandpa Zhang laughed while nodding and then he and Grandma Zhang, who was holding Xiaoxiao, went inside first.
Chen Yang then helped Zhang Xueying open the trunk and they moved everything inside Zhang Xueyingâs house.
Although there were many things, they were moved swiftly.
It didnât take long to finish moving everything.
But the work wasnât done yet.
Zhang Xueying had been away from her maternal home for a very long time, and a lot of things in the house were covered in dust.
Especially some of the commonly used furniture, which definitely needed cleaning.
So, Chen Yang continued to help Zhang Xueying clean the furniture.
Grandpa Zhang and Grandma Zhang were sitting in the hall with Xiaoxiao.
This scene looked exactly like a typical happy rural family of five.
Zhang Xueying, watching Chen Yangâs busy figure, often felt this illusion.
âWhatâs wrong, Xueying?
You seem distracted?â
At that moment, Chen Yang noticed something off about Zhang Xueying.
Upon hearing Chen Yangâs voice, Zhang Xueying snapped back to reality.
âAh?
Nothing.
I was just wondering if we had left anything behind.â
Zhang Xueying scrambled for an excuse.
âOh, I see.
If you remember anything, just tell me, and Iâll take you back to get it.â
Chen Yang didnât think much more of it and continued to carry a basin of water to clean the dining table.
âBrother Chen Yang, let me help you,â
Zhang Xueying said as she took a cloth and followed him.
The furniture in Zhang Xueyingâs house wasnât excessive, so it was relatively simple to tidy up.
Soon, all the furniture in the house was cleaned, and the floor was swept clean as well.
It was just after five in the afternoon by then.
âXueying, do we have any fresh vegetables at home?
Letâs prepare something nice tonight and invite Yang Zi for dinner, heâs been busy all day.â
At this moment, Grandpa Zhang suddenly said to Zhang Xueying.
âOkay Dad, Iâll get started right away.â
Zhang Xueying rubbed her hands together and happily agreed.
Chen Yang initially wanted to refuse, but considering Grandpa Zhangâs kindness and that his own home was nearby, it seemed inappropriate not to accept, so he did not say much.
âXueying, let me go with you.
We can just grab something from my farm, no need to go out and get it,â
Chen Yang said with a laugh.
âSure, Iâll listen to you,â
Zhang Xueying laughed and agreed, then the two of them went out together to Chen Yangâs farm to catch rabbits to bring back for dinner.
âXueying, donât be scared by the rabbits I raise, you better prepare yourself beforehand,â
On the way there, Chen Yang gently reminded Zhang Xueying with a smile.
Zhang Xueying was somewhat stunned upon hearing this.
âWhatâs the matter, Brother Chen Yang?
Are your rabbits very special?
Do they bite?â
Zhang Xueying guessed.
âHehe,â
Chen Yang chuckled, then said, âEven scarier than biting.â
After saying that, Chen Yang quickened his pace.
This statement piqued Zhang Xueyingâs intense curiosity.
To her, rabbits biting was the scariest thing.
And there was something even scarier than that?
