Although the old home here in the countryside can’t compare to the apartment buildings in Beijing.

Still, she felt that coming back here was truly returning home.

No matter how good the house in Beijing is, it’s just a house.

Woof woof woof~

It seems Wang Cai really likes the new home here too.

As soon as Jiang Xue put him on the ground, he started joyfully running around the yard.

"Come here, Wang Cai, I’ll take you to see my room~"

Jiang Xue called Wang Cai while jogging inside.

Wang Cai, hearing his little master’s call, happily followed her inside.

The moment Jiang Tao stepped through the door, he also felt an immense sense of familiarity.

Even though he’s bought a house and settled in Beijing.

In the end, he just doesn’t have a sense of belonging there.

Jiang Family Manor may just be an obscure little village in the country.

But it’s the place that nurtured him.

Growing up drinking this water, playing in this mud.

The attachment to his homeland runs deep in his bones.

No matter where he goes, this is where his roots are. 𝕗𝕣𝐞𝐞𝘄𝐞𝚋𝚗𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹.𝚌𝕠𝚖

People often say that fallen leaves return to their roots, fallen leaves return to their roots.

This saying is not just empty words.

In recent years, more and more villagers who developed well elsewhere have been returning to the village to build houses.

They’re building houses not really to live in.

Mostly it’s for having a memorial hall, a place to hold a funeral after they’ve passed on.

After the funeral, being buried in the family’s free ancestral gravesite is better than the tens of thousands costing cemeteries outside.

"Wife, I feel like we can really spruce up our home even more."

Jiang Tao looked around the yard, put his arm around Xu Li’s slender waist, and said with a smile.

"How else could we spruce it up?"

Xu Li turned her head to look at Jiang Tao, her beautiful eyes full of tenderness.

These days, the couple has been together every day, never separated.

Xu Li’s sense of happiness has soared immensely, and she’s incredibly satisfied with their current lifestyle.

"Someday let’s get big brother to find someone to enclose our entire yard with tempered glass, turn it into a sunroom."

"We can also replace our front door with a solid bronze one."

"Lay a layer of marble tiles in the yard."

"We can install electric sunshades on the balcony..."

Jiang Tao eagerly shared his renovation plans for their yard.

Before, they didn’t have money, so when building the house they saved wherever they could.

The house that was finally built naturally had many unsatisfactory areas.

Now that they have money, Jiang Tao wants to make their home beautiful.

No matter how many houses they buy elsewhere in the future, they can’t abandon their "home base" here.

Xu Li, naturally, also fully supports Jiang Tao’s renovation plans.

She is even more attached to this home than Jiang Tao.

The couple chatted in the yard for a while before going inside.

After a few more words in the living room, Xu Li took Jiang Xue to bathe.

Jiang Tao, waiting for his turn on the sofa, checked his social media on his phone.

He also browsed some of today’s trending news.

Afterwards, he watched a few running tutorials by some runners on a short video app.

Although Jiang Tao’s constitution already reached over 90 and is about to break the limit of 100.

This doesn’t guarantee he can outrun professional athletes with lesser physiques.

Running is a sport where constitution is important, but it’s not everything.

Technical skills in various aspects are also extremely important.

Jiang Tao still has a lot to learn in the future.

After 11 PM, Xu Li and Jiang Xue finished their baths, and Jiang Tao went for his.

During Xu Li’s period, she declared a ceasefire.

While Jiang Tao was showering, he activated [Deep Sleep Mode] for the mother and daughter.

By the time he finished and returned to the bedroom, Xu Li was already asleep under the covers.

Jiang Tao didn’t disturb her.

He lay in bed scrolling on his phone, waiting for the midnight refresh of news updates.
