Cheng Dazhuang and his brother jokingly chided him for being unaccomplished, always getting shy when his wife was mentioned.
Cheng Xiaoxi also quickly excused himself.
Cai Shi and Xi Shi were also laughing heartily, and they could help by holding the two little ones.
It was fine on familiar ground, and they were walking together anyway.
Cheng Hao and Su Miaomiao did not raise their children too delicately, opting for a more "rough" upbringing, which would make them easier to care for and more resilient.
Cheng Xiaoxi quickly asked if it was alright for the two children to come along, glancing back as he spoke.
Chen Xi and Chao Yang sat steadily in Cai Shi and Xi Shi's arms, kicking their little feet and looking around, pointing and exclaiming at the flying chickens.
Cai Shi and Xi Shi also doted on the two treasures, fair-skinned and beautiful.
Their hearts were melting.
The chubby little treasures were also quite weighty, and the two women were reluctant to let go.
Hearing Cheng Xiaoxi's words, Cheng Hao and Su Miaomiao assured them that the children were not that delicate and that the area was quite clean.
Cai Shi and Xi Shi also said, "It's nothing, you two go and see what you want, we'll hold them, just keep them away from the railings, so the children aren't bothered."
Let alone being bothered.
The two children were very excited to see the goats, their little hands waving, wanting to touch them.
Su Miaomiao even turned back and smiled, "If they want to touch them, let them, it doesn't matter."
At this age, they loved to grab things and touch everything.
Cai Shi and Xi Shi readily agreed, telling the young couple to relax and sightsee, as they had the children and would take good care of them.
Su Miaomiao also smiled and said she had no worries, letting them play with the children.
She wouldn't trust a hired wet nurse as much, as they would leave when their time was up.
But Cai Shi and Xi Shi were different, their relationship was special.
Cheng Hao and Su Miaomiao then began their tour with peace of mind.
Afterward, they couldn't help but marvel.
"This is incredible! Such a large scale, it's beyond our imagination!"
Su Miaomiao was also shocked; Cheng Xiaoxi was truly a talent!
He managed such a large ranch by himself, although now he had villagers helping out.
But the management and the research into breeding were all his own doing.
His ability was extraordinary.
In their previous life in modern times, this would have earned him praise on an agricultural channel.
Cheng Xiaoxi was quite modest, pointing to several areas and saying, "It's not perfect yet. When it rains, the ground gets muddy, and I still need to solve that problem without compromising shade. I'll have to think hard about it."
There was always work to be done.
But it was like this every year.
Yet, life was fulfilling, and he never felt bored.
Interacting with the little animals every day.
He was also very happy, both physically and mentally.
Cheng Xiaoxi's smile was still simple and truly admirable.
The entire ranch was outrageously large.
It was also well-divided, with different animals having their own living areas.
They did not interfere with each other.
The manure could be sold, or used as fertilizer for the vegetables the animals ate.
Other products could also be sold for money.
Such as wool and rabbit fur.
Cheng Xiaoxi was extremely happy that the young couple could visit, and he became more talkative. Even if they hadn't come, he wouldn't have minded.
After all, they had too many things to do, a large enterprise, and it was far away.
Why would it be worth a thousand-mile journey for them?!
But the young couple still came.
Cheng Xiaoxi couldn't help but think, as expected of them, this was something they would do.
His smile never faded.
The young couple also felt gratified, seeing their former companion living well.
They were happy too.
The main reason was that Cheng Xiaoxi had sent gifts from afar, which had moved them.
So this time, they could also travel a thousand miles to see how he was doing, and enjoy some sightseeing.
Fortunately, seeing them doing well was enough.
Indeed, everyone had become prosperous, and they had even built new courtyards.
Cheng Dazhuang and his brother's lives were also harmonious, with their wives and children accompanying them, and their fathers-in-law helping out, they were very happy.
Cheng Hao and Su Miaomiao stayed there for a few days and found the life convenient.
Every day was peaceful.
It was a different kind of life, working at sunrise and resting at sunset, very tranquil.
The villagers saw the "distinguished guests" from Cheng Dazhuang's family for the first time. They only knew that they visited a few times a year or wrote frequently, thinking they were just flattering rich friends in the capital. It turned out to be a true mutual bond.
When Cheng Xiaoxi got married, they also made time to travel a thousand miles.
They brought even more gifts.
A whole cartload, which dazzled the eyes of the villagers.
When some villagers met the wives of Cheng Dazhuang and his brother, they couldn't help but pull them aside to whisper, some envious and flattering, others curious and gossipy.
Cheng Dazhuang and his brother's wives would smile and talk a little, saying that the young couple were genuinely good people!
They were practically deified.
But it was also true.
At least in the eyes of these people, the young couple were like gods.
They could do everything.
They knew so many things.
And they generously taught them, so they learned many skills.
Every time they encountered danger and hardship.
The young couple could always lead everyone to turn the tide, and they had heaven-defying luck.
It was truly amazing.
Cai Shi and Xi Shi also found it interesting here, walking around.
New places were always novel.
They took strolls every day.
Occasionally helping to cook meals. One could only say that a region breeds its people.
Even the local fruits and vegetables tasted exceptionally different.
The flavors were also different.
Cai Shi and Xi Shi also learned a few tricks from the villagers next door to Cheng Dazhuang.
They learned the saying "live and learn" from the young couple, as having more skills never hurt.
They learned to make local pastries and cured meats, planning to make them for their families back home.
Later, they helped with wedding preparations.
The decorations were beautiful.
Cai Shi and Xi Shi took charge of the kitchen, handling all the cooking for Cheng Xiaoxi's wedding banquet.
This naturally pleased him greatly.
He expressed his warm welcome.
Cai Shi and Xi Shi's cooking skills were recognized as excellent, so there would be no mistakes.
Especially Xi Shi.
She was a seasoned expert!
She had even taken on many apprentices now, and her skills had improved further.
When Cheng Xiaoxi offered them red envelopes, Cai Shi and Xi Shi were indignant, saying it was unnecessary and that they were family, having gone through life and death together.
How could they be so formal?
Everyone heard this and laughed.
Cheng Dazhuang and his brother also told Cheng Xiaoxi not to bother, and if they said no, then no.
It was their gesture of goodwill.
Cheng Xiaoxi then thanked them obediently.
Cai Shi and Xi Shi said it was nothing, but couldn't help but sigh, remarking on how quickly time had passed, with Cheng Xiaoxi about to get married.
Everyone else also sighed.
Who could say otherwise?
