Chapter 2320: Farewell Words Before Departure

Zhu Zhibin was stunned for a moment, then said directly, "Eldest Sister, you can't be jealous of me just because you can't have a little girl. Just watch, Nuan Nuan and I will definitely have a little girl in the future, right, Nuan Nuan?"

Nuan Nuan didn't even want to pay attention to this person. She went straight to Zhu Yanyi's side. "Second Sister, are you really not going back with us?" Nuan Nuan truly admired this Second Sister.

Zhu Yanyi nodded. "Our car has already arrived. I plan to travel around practicing medicine. These packed items are things I don't use daily, so I'll just have Azure Sovereign Qingdi Logistics ship them. Also, I need to stay at the Sicheng Town Hospital for a month, then go to Yong City Hospital for a month, then Hang City, and so on, city by city. But don't worry, I will buy some local specialties in every city and mail them to you."

Since Zhu Yanyi had made her plans, she had no intention of changing them.

"It's such a pity. I wanted to go with you, Second Sister." Nuan Nuan looked regretful.

Zhu Yanyi smiled and said, "By the way, you are getting engaged soon. I probably won't have time to come then, so I'll give you the red envelope I prepared now. Please don't mind." She handed a box to Nuan Nuan. Inside was actually a set of jewelry, passed down from ancient times, absolutely valuable.

Nuan Nuan took it, opened it, and looked inside. "Second Sister, this is too precious."

"It's fine. Your Second Sister doesn't have much else, but she has plenty of these things. So I'm giving you this set. Don't feel burdened." Zhu Yanyi smiled calmly. "Besides, consider it compensation for me not being able to attend your engagement ceremony."

Zhu Zhibin said from the side, "Not showing up for the engagement is fine, but don't you dare miss my wedding either." His tone was quite resentful.

Zhu Yanyi chuckled lightly. "Alright, stop complaining. Don't be so resentful. Rest assured, I will definitely appear at your wedding, no matter how difficult it is."

Zhu Zhibin nodded satisfactorily. "It's settled then. No matter what, you must come to my wedding."

"Definitely, definitely. You are my own brother. I have to show off the prestige of the elder sister-in-law at least." After speaking, Zhu Yanyi puffed out her cheeks, took a few steps in an official manner, pretending to show off her authority.

Little Northwest happened to see this. He was currently in the stage of loving to imitate, so he started walking like that too. This instantly made all the adults present laugh heartily.

"We agreed to go with you to take care of Little Northwest, but now we have to leave first." Xie Xinlian complained. There was no way around it; her son was getting engaged, and she couldn't miss it.

"Mom, it's fine. I'm here." Yan Aohan said from the side. "Ani goes to school, and I will take care of Little Northwest. After Zhibin's engagement is over, you can come back."

"Rest assured. With us old folks here, we guarantee to take good care of Little Northwest during our time in Sicheng Town," Old Li said with a smile. They also liked playing with the children. Being old, having a child around was lively and fun.

Xie Xinlian wasn't worried about Little Northwest lacking care, but she was reluctant to part, after all, she had always been the one taking care of her.

Zhu Shunyao said from the side, "Alright. Once the bean sprout matter is finished, we will come back and wander with the couple." Zhu Shunyao made the final decision immediately. Both sons and daughters were important. Now that the two daughters' life matters were settled, the son's affairs naturally could not be ignored.

So, returning to the capital with the youngest son was inevitable. However, they also needed to help with the daughter's side. There were still many elders helping in Sicheng Town, but if they went to Yong City or other cities, Little Northwest would have no one to care for him. Therefore, it was fine for them to go together then.

Actually, they were just anxious out of care. Zhu Yanyi and Yan Aohan's abilities were evident, and they had bodyguards with them. Taking care of a small child would absolutely not be a problem. But since Zhu Shunyao and Xie Xinlian doted on Little Northwest, Zhu Yanyi and Yan Aohan naturally wouldn't refuse. If they wanted to come help, Zhu Yanyi and Yan Aohan wouldn't object.

Zhu Shunyao and Xie Xinlian, along with Zhu Zhibin, Nuan Nuan, Zhu Yanli, and Taishu Yuanxiang's family, left. Originally, Zhu Yanli could have stayed, but since it was Zhu Zhibin's engagement, she still needed to go help. However, she and Taishu Yuanxiang had already discussed it. While they were still young and had time, after Zhu Zhibin's matters were settled, they would come with Zhu Shunyao and the others. More people meant more liveliness. Besides, following Zhu Yanyi allowed them to see the scenery of different cities. Of course, if they got tired, transportation was developed enough now that they could return directly.

Zhu Yanyi began her clinic duty at the Sicheng Town Hospital on the sixteenth day of the first lunar month, after the Lantern Festival. So, the Lantern Festival was quite lively for the Zhu family.

Zhu Yanyi personally cooked a large table of vegetarian dishes. Who could blame her? There were many elders. However, Zhu Yanyi's vegetarian dishes were eaten clean. Even Little Northwest ate a full small bowl of rice with the soup from the vegetarian Buddha Jumps Over the Wall.

After dinner, Yan Aohan carried Little Northwest, Zhu Yanyi supported Zhu Xinfu, and occasionally took care of the other elders. They went to a nearby park.

The free park held a lantern exhibition every year during the Lantern Festival starting this year. Zhu Yanyi considered that she would be busy starting tomorrow and might not have time to accompany the elders, so she took everyone out today to walk around and enjoy the bustle.

The lanterns in the park's exhibition were provided by various private enterprises. Azure Sovereign Group, Azure Sovereign Logistics, and Azure Sovereign Security alone provided three lanterns from the Azure Sovereign brand. Other small companies and factories also contributed. This was actually one way to promote their own names.

In the park, the lights were dazzling. Outside the park, police helped maintain order.

Everyone entered in an orderly manner. Many people brought AV cameras and point-and-shoot cameras to take photos. Although there were many people, most were just there to join the fun.

As soon as Zhu Yanyi entered the park area, she started recording with her AV camera. She walked and introduced everything, and when she saw the lanterns, she chose suitable angles to film them.

Their group moved leisurely, not rushing forward. Since the elders had bodyguards nearby, there was no need to worry about being crowded.

"This harvest lantern is nice. Ani, it's provided by Azure Sovereign Group," Old Li said, looking at a large lantern two meters high.

Zhu Yanyi first captured the scene, then smiled and said, "Indeed. Dad participated in the design initially. I didn't know until later. Originally, many designs were made. Later, my Dad said, 'We Azure Sovereign deal with fields and sell fruits and vegetables, so why not make a harvest picture?' And that's how it was decided. I didn't expect it to look so good now."

"Don't underestimate your Dad. Your Dad has his own vision and depth," Old詹 (Zhan) said with a smile. "Not to mention your Dad, even your Mom is rare."

Zhu Yanyi nodded after hearing this. "My Mom is indeed very smart. She was truly illiterate before, unable to even write her own name well. Now, not only does she recognize characters, but her handwriting is also quite presentable."

Zhu Yanyi still admired her parents. In fact, whether in her previous life or this one, Zhu Shunyao and Xie Xinlian both had a rare love for learning. It was just that conditions in the previous life didn't allow it, so many things were missed, and they ended up living ordinary, mediocre lives.

But this life was different. Because Zhu Yanyi's life trajectory changed, the life trajectories of other members of the Zhu family naturally changed too.

"Actually, many people of your parents' generation were very smart. But due to the times, they couldn't study properly, which is why they ended up this way. Fortunately, your Dad and Mom were willing to learn, so their later learning was still good." Old詹 (Zhan) was quite admiring that Zhu Shunyao, a guy from a farming background, could create Azure Sovereign Group.

Zhu Yanyi smiled. "Grandpa Zhan, hearing you say that, I feel my Dad and Mom suddenly became much more impressive."

"Naughty. Is that how you mock your own parents?" Old詹 (Zhan) scolded with a laugh, but didn't say anything more.

Zhu Yanyi continued filming with her AV camera and led them to continue viewing the lantern exhibition.

"This carp jumping over the dragon gate is also nice," Old Chun said, pointing at a lantern.

Zhu Yanyi looked at it. "Indeed, it's very vivid."

"It feels like the countryside is always more lively, whether during the New Year or the Lantern Festival," Old Zhang sighed.

Zhu Yanyi nodded, agreeing with this point. "The countryside is more open. Look here, fireworks and firecrackers are non-stop at night. You can't see such sky-filling fireworks in the city."

"You're right. The capital has banned fireworks in recent years, mainly due to environmental pollution," Old Zhang said. He was quite knowledgeable about this aspect.

Zhu Yanyi naturally knew this too. Industrial development was really too fast now, causing environmental pollution in many places. Zhu Yanyi knew this would absolutely not change.

At least for now, it wouldn't change anytime soon. So, it was better to cherish the current environment, especially here in Sicheng Town. Undoubtedly, because this area developed agriculture, the air quality was significantly better.

"That's why, for us old folks, the countryside is the right place to retire. Fortunately, I came with Ani and the others this time. Otherwise, I'd really be eating the dust of the capital every day," Mrs. Chang said directly.

"The old lady is absolutely right. It is indeed so," Old詹 (Zhan) strongly agreed with his wife's opinion.

Zhu Yanyi kept filming, naturally recording this conversation too. "When I copy these videos and show them to my senior brothers, they will definitely think your days are so lively and carefree."
