Sun Shaoan's marriage

Zhao Dongchuan stood for a long time, finally sighing…

Such a major event was beyond his control! Birth, aging, sickness, and death are the fate of mortals; to achieve such accomplishments and be remembered through the ages, it’s not in vain to have come to this world!

Zhao Dongchuan parked his bicycle and bowed deeply in the direction of the capital.

He murmured softly, “May you rest in peace!”

His arrival here was purely accidental. He could provide help within his capabilities, but the prerequisite was to ensure his own safety.

Once he revealed dangerous abilities that could not be controlled, then to those in power, he would be a dangerous element.

For dangerous individuals with “special abilities,” at the national level, there were only two choices.

One was to be recruited, and their family would also be placed in a private location under the guise of safety, meticulously “protected.”

Secondly, if they could not be recruited, then an uncontrolled dangerous element, once caught, would face direct physical elimination. A slightly better outcome might be lifelong imprisonment, using family to “persuade” him, ultimately becoming a tool for some people's personal gain.

When there was no absolute strength to avoid the above situations, it was better to lie low.

Although this world was a low-martial world, the power of technology should not be underestimated, and also, never test human nature!

With his current strength, a head-on confrontation would probably not be able to withstand the power of the “Gatling Bodhisattva,” let alone various powerful missiles.

Of course, some people at the top would definitely adopt gentle methods, such as moral blackmail, etc., but there would certainly be people willing to take a tough stance to achieve their goals!

He couldn’t bet his own life on whether others would show him great kindness.

Currently, all he could do was subtly, imperceptibly change some things.

After a few minutes of silent mourning, Zhao Dongchuan regained his spirits and rode his bicycle towards the village.

Upon reaching the village entrance, he encountered many villagers with heavy expressions, and quite a few had clearly been crying with choked sobs.

Zhao Dongchuan also silently rode his bicycle towards his own cave dwelling. At this time, everyone clearly had no intention of chatting, merely watching his figure in silence.

Riding all the way, he soon arrived in front of his own cave dwelling.

Zhao Dongchuan opened the courtyard gate with a key, only to see a courtyard full of broken branches and withered leaves, along with many decaying dry weeds, looking incredibly dilapidated.

“Well, time for another big cleanup!”

Shaking his head helplessly, Zhao Dongchuan parked his bicycle in a corner of the courtyard, opened the house door, and a rush of dust assailed his nose. The air inside carried a hint of chill.

Having been uninhabited for several months, there was no sign of life here, as if the house had become even more dilapidated.

Zhao Dongchuan took out an enamel basin and a rag from his space and went to the southwest corner of the courtyard. Here, a large water vat was placed, used to collect Yushui. At this time, there was still a lot of water in the vat, most likely collected from the rain a few days ago.

“It’s barely usable. Cleaning the room and wiping things down won’t be a problem!” Zhao Dongchuan looked and muttered to himself.

He then began the big cleanup, first sweeping away the weeds, fallen leaves, and dead branches from the courtyard with a broom. Then he drew a full basin of water and began to wipe the windows, doors, and the kang. Every dirty spot his eyes could see was carefully wiped clean.

Fortunately, he had an excellent physique; he only sweated a little and didn't feel tired. Anyone else would probably have collapsed long ago.

After several hours of effort, he finally cleaned both the courtyard and the inner room. It looked much cleaner and tidier; finally, it was habitable.

Zhao Dongchuan sat in the courtyard, looking at the refreshed courtyard with a satisfied smile!

Labor makes me happy, labor makes me relaxed!

He took out a pre-brewed teapot from his space and poured himself a cup of tea. Just as he was about to drink from the blue and white teacup, footsteps approached.

From the rhythm and force of the footsteps, he knew it was Sun Shaoan.

Zhao Dongchuan raised his teacup, drank it in one gulp, and with a wave of his hand, a small table appeared beside him. By the time he had placed the teapot and teacup on the table, Sun Shaoan’s voice was already heard.

“Little Zhao! Are you home!”

Sun Shaoan called out as he walked.

“Shaoan Ge, you’re here! Come, take a rest first, have some tea!” Zhao Dongchuan stood up to greet him, calling out.

“You really came back, huh? I just heard Tian Haimin say you were back and didn't believe it! I hurried over to see! Didn't expect it to really be you!” Saying this, Sun Shaoan excitedly gave Zhao Dongchuan a punch to the chest!

“I haven’t seen everyone for a long time, so I came back to visit!” Zhao Dongchuan smiled slightly, rubbing his chest. (The Northwest Hammer King just loves to punch people!)

Actually, returning to Shuangshui Village was mainly to avoid the harassment from people in Huangyuan City. This remote small village had blocked news, and few people knew about his novel's publication. Even if someone occasionally knew, the villagers didn't quite understand its specific meaning.

On the other hand, it was also to see Shaoan and the others. He would most likely return to his Hometown for New Year's, and Shaoan and Xiulian's wedding was with the Spring Festival, which meant he couldn't attend Sun Shaoan's wedding, so he had to handle things here first.

“You kid, a man of culture, your words are always pleasant to hear. How long are you planning to stay this time?” Sun Shaoan asked.

Zhao Dongchuan naturally knew the subtext of Sun Shaoan’s question: he was asking if he could attend his and Xiulian’s wedding.

“Shaoan Ge, I’ll probably stay for ten days to half a month this time, and then for New Year's, I plan to go back to my Hometown to spend time with my parents!”

“Hmm, that’s right. Thinking back to when you settled in our Shuangshui Village, it’s almost been a year. Now that you have the means to go back, you really should visit your parents.” Sun Shaoan nodded, smiling.

“Shaoan Ge, although I can’t attend your and Sister-in-law Xiulian’s wedding, I can still help you with some preparations!”

“Alright, then I won’t be polite. I’ll really trouble you these days! It’s true that you don’t know until you get married; getting married is really a hassle with all sorts of things, it’s driving me crazy!” Sun Shaoan patted the back of his head, a wry smile on his face.

“By the way, where’s Sister-in-law Xiulian? Has she returned?” Zhao Dongchuan asked.

“Not yet. She only left a short while ago. A few days ago, she sent a letter telling me not to go to Shanxi to pick her up. She wants to come from Shanxi with her father by car!” Sun Shaoan mentioned He Xiulian, smiling with a look of happiness.

What a considerate He Xiulian!

Zhao Dongchuan sighed with emotion!

“If there are any difficulties with the wedding, and I can help, please don’t be shy!” Zhao Dongchuan said.

“There’s nothing. Everything is resolved!”

“By the way, we’re slaughtering a pig today. Come to our place for the pig-slaughter feast!” Sun Shaoan said, pulling Zhao Dongchuan to leave.
