Reborn in 1979: I Raised a Fortune with Four Daughters

Chapter 257 Receiving Zhao Sanhai and Gou Dan

Zhao Sanhai replied.

Just then, a burst of noise came from the phone, followed by a woman's voice:

"Fangfang, it's me, Meizi! It's been so long since we last contacted each other, I've missed you so much!"

“Oh, Sister-in-law Mei, I’ve missed you so much! It’s been quite a few years since we last met! I heard from Zhaoyuan that he went back to the village, but I was busy with family matters at the time, so I couldn’t go back for a get-together.”

Lin Fangfang said with a hint of regret.

"It's alright, everyone's busy with their own things! But I'll have to trouble you all to take good care of Gou Dan when he goes to school in Beijing!"

Meizi said somewhat shyly.

"Look at what you're saying, sister-in-law! We're all family, it's only right that we look after each other! Besides, Gou Dan is a well-behaved and sensible child, we definitely don't need to worry about him too much. Sister-in-law, why don't you come to Beijing with us this time? It's not easy for you to come all this way, so I can show you around and be a good host!"

Lin Fangfang extended a sincere invitation.

"Oh dear, there's just too much going on at the farm right now, I really can't be away for such a long time. It's really inconvenient for both of us to take such long leave at once. Let's get together properly next time you go back to the village! In Beijing, I'll leave Gou Dan in your and Zhao Yuan's care. This kid has never been out of the house since he was little, so he doesn't know much about many things. You and Zhao Yuan are knowledgeable and experienced, so please guide him a lot."

Meizi said with a smile and in a friendly tone.

"Look at what you're saying! We're all family, there's no need to be so polite! I'll talk to Zhaoyuan tonight and ask him to come with me to the train station tomorrow to pick up Sanhai and Gou Dan."

Lin Fangfang responded enthusiastically.

Then, the two chatted for a while longer about everyday things, until finally they reluctantly hung up the phone.

In the evening, Zhao Yuan dragged his tired body home.

As soon as she entered, Lin Fangfang rushed to greet him and eagerly told him that Zhao Sanhai would be sending Gou Dan to Beijing for school the next day and that the train was expected to arrive at the Beijing Railway Station at 4 p.m.

After listening, Zhao Yuan nodded to indicate that he understood, and then the couple began to discuss the specific details of how to pick up the person the next afternoon.

The following afternoon, the sun shone brightly and a gentle breeze blew.

Zhao Yuan and Lin Fangfang had arranged their work in advance and set off for the train station early.

They were in high spirits throughout the journey, eagerly anticipating their reunion with Zhao Sanhai and Gou Dan.

However, when they arrived at the train station on time, they were told that the train would be delayed by half an hour.

With no other option, the two had to patiently wait anxiously near the exit.

Finally, after a long wait, two familiar figures gradually emerged from the crowd—Zhao Sanhai and Gou Dan were slowly walking towards them, carrying large and small packages with great effort.

Zhao Yuan rushed forward and steadily caught the heavy package from Zhao Sanhai's hands. A bright smile spread across his face as he said enthusiastically:

"Third Brother, you must have had a long and tiring journey!"

Standing to the side, Lin Fangfang quickly reached out and took Gou Dan's hand, stroking his little head with loving eyes, and said gently:

"Oh my, our Gou Dan has grown into a big young man!"

The group chatted and laughed as they slowly walked out of the station.

As soon as he stepped out of the station gate, Zhao Sanhai was stunned by the bustling and lively scene before him. His eyes, which were not large to begin with, widened to a bulge, his mouth gaped open as if he could fit an egg in it, and he kept muttering to himself:

"Tsk tsk tsk... This capital city is truly extraordinary!"

Dog Egg, standing beside him, was equally excited, its big, round eyes darting around curiously, as if trying to take in all the new things around it.

Before long, everyone boarded a spacious and comfortable car.

With the roar of the engine, the car started smoothly and sped along the wide, straight road toward Zhaoyuan's house.

After a drive that wasn't too long or too short, we finally arrived at our destination.

After the car came to a stop, everyone worked together to unload the luggage and belongings from the vehicle.

At this time, only Xu Shuhui was left at home.

Upon seeing the guests arrive, she greeted them with a big smile and greeted everyone one by one, instantly creating a very harmonious atmosphere.

Lin Fangfang looked at Zhao Sanhai with a beaming smile and said kindly:

"Brother Sanhai, please stay here in the capital for the next few days. Tonight, our whole family will have a lively and delicious hot pot meal to welcome you back!"

"Oh dear, isn't this too much trouble for you? Why aren't Zhaodi and Laidi home?"

Zhao Sanhai asked with a puzzled look on his face.

Lin Fangfang smiled and replied:

"The children have all gone to the library to read and study. They should be back in a little while."

As she spoke, she quickly arranged accommodations for Zhao Sanhai and Gou Dan.

As Zhao Sanhai, Gou Dan, and Zhao Yuan unloaded the things Zhao Sanhai had brought from the car, they introduced who had sent them: peanuts grown at home, a lot of fresh eggs, salted duck eggs, and so on.

Xu Shuhui helped carry the things into the house.

After making the arrangements, Lin Fangfang and Xu Shuhui went to the kitchen together to prepare to cook dinner.

Meanwhile, Zhao Sanhai was sitting in the living room, chatting with Zhao Yuan.

They talked about the recent changes in the village, from the newly built roads to the new factories, and the interesting things happening in the village.

On the other side, Gou Dan walked into the study alone. When he saw the wide variety of books on the bookshelf, his eyes lit up instantly, as if he had discovered a whole new world.

He eagerly pulled out a book and began to read it with great interest.

Not long after, a commotion suddenly broke out in the courtyard.

It turned out that Zhao Zhaodi and Zhao Laidi had returned with their two younger sisters.

Zhao Zhaodi stood tall and graceful, while Zhao Laidi was also tall and beautiful.

"Oh my, Zhao Di is finally back! Look at Lai Di, she's grown so tall! This must be Nana, she's getting more and more beautiful, even prettier than Fang Fang! And this youngest one, that must be Yina. Zhao Yuan, I think you should take them back to Zhao Family Village when you have time. After all, Zhao Di and Lai Di still remember where their hometown is, but Nana and Yina probably don't even remember the name 'Zhao Family Village' anymore!"

Zhao Sanhai said with a big smile.

"Uncle Sanhai! You brought Gou Dan to school! Why didn't Aunt Mei come? By the way, where is Gou Dan now?"
