In order to keep in constant contact with Ruan Jiaojiao, Ruan Jianguo gave Xiu Xi a big brother phone that Ruan Jie had been longing for but never got.
When they headed to Beidu, the family was lively and bustling, but when it was time to return, only the couple remained, and Ruan Jianguo truly wasnât used to it.
As the train started to move, he pondered and said to Shu Jiao, "Wife, why donât we slowly start developing toward Beidu? Weâll try to move our home here by the time Jiaojiao gets into a university here."
Shu Jiao, who was full of worries, looked at him in surprise upon hearing this.
"Jianguo, are you serious?"
In fact, moving the family to Beidu had been suggested to Shu Jiao by Old Master Shu on more than one occasion, but she had never brought it up with Ruan Jianguo.
She knew that if she brought it up, Ruan Jianguo would definitely consider it, but it would surely also put him in a difficult position.
Because the Ruanlin Family was native to Xiahe Village, and initially moving away from Xiahe Village was something she wasnât accustomed to for a while. Luckily, moving to the town wasnât too far from Xiahe Village, so she could still go back every now and then to chat with her old friends.
When they moved to the city, the three younger brothers also moved along, so it didnât make much difference to the Ruanlin Family.
But whether it was moving to the town or city, moving towards Beidu now was a completely different concept.
For anyone, it would mean starting anew.
Not many people would be willing to give up everything they currently have and venture to an unfamiliar place to start over.
She knew how difficult it was for Ruan Jianguo to make this decision!
Seeing Shu Jiaoâs emotional expression, Ruan Jianguo knew he had made the right decision. He smiled, nodded, and hugged her as he said, "Even if not for ourselves, we have to consider the children."
If thereâs a chance to leave that mountain nest, why not try? Shouldnât people aim for higher places?
"What about mom...?"
"Mom will understand. If she wants to live with us, she can come with us. If she misses home, isnât there still Second Brother and Third Brother? She can always go back whenever she wants."
However, Ruan Jianguo guessed that the Ruanlin Family was more likely to follow them.
He knew she couldnât be without Ruan Jiaojiao.
Shu Jiao nodded, deeply moved.
On the night Ruan Jianguo and Shu Jiao left, Ruan Jiaojiao didnât have any more episodes of being out of sorts, and for several consecutive days afterwards, there were no occurrences either. But even so, Xiu Xi didnât dare be careless and woke up every midnight to check on her.
Mid-October.
Ruan Jiaojiao and Xiu Xi had been in Beidu for about half a month by then, and throughout this period, Ruan Jiaojiao had been very normal, with no more instances of being out of sorts.
As this half-month passed, Ruan Jiaojiao finally reached her full monthâs day, and she could say goodbye to her monotonous diet of goat milk and start eating other foods.
To introduce her to meat, the Ruanlin Family got up early in the morning and slaughtered some fresh carp that the Shu Familyâs servants bought, and stewed a pot of fresh soup.
Old Master Shu also gathered a bunch of food that cats can eat and brought it home like it was free.
Chicken, duck, fish, meat, everything was available.
And the Shu Familyâs servants were no longer surprised to see such a spoiled kitten, pampered like a little young lady in the house. After all, many wealthy families now have pets, many even claiming themselves as parents of the pets. The Shu Family was still somewhat restrained in front of the servants, so in their eyes, this was still considered normal.
