Transmigration: I Have Storage Space in the Apocalypse-Chapter 659 - 655: As Endless as the Yellow River

——————-

Just now, Nephew Lei said he heard the sound of a car outside, when Aunt Chen came over to open the door, she was still somewhat skeptical.

For these past few days, she had heard plenty of similar statements from Lei Hairong, after all, who in this household didn’t wish for Thirteenth Master to arrive soon!

This separation had lasted for over half a year without seeing Thirteenth Master, even she, an old woman, kept worrying if Thirteenth Master was taking good care of himself!

Uh, this is all nonsense; in fact, everyone just wants to see Thirteenth Master’s wife and children, I heard...

"Aunt Chen, I told you not to call me that." Xie Jingchen felt helpless in his heart, gazing at the old woman in front of him with a smile, and habitually offered a word of advice.

This statement made him sound like the foolish son of a landlord.

However, Aunt Chen’s attention was clearly no longer on him, as she stared intently at Yan Jinsu and exclaimed joyfully, "This must be the madame, I am Nanny Chen, the old woman has finally waited for your arrival."

Ever since she heard from Nephew Lei about coming to Beijing, she had been looking forward to making a good impression in front of the madame.

While Yan Jinsu was taken aback by the old woman’s address, surprised and at a loss.

Xie Jingchen really wanted to facepalm, but instead said, "Let’s talk later, let’s go inside first to avoid becoming a joke to others."

Wang Chunmei was helped down by Ma Shan, with Hu Zhengjie and Yan Jinchang parking the car, and upon reaching their own mansion gate, Xie Jingchen immediately let the two children stand on the ground by themselves.

"Yes, yes, Thirteenth Master is right, it must have been freezing on the road, come in quickly—" Aunt Chen had been gazing at Thirteenth Master and his wife all this time, not noticing the pair of ethereal children standing at their feet.

When she finally saw them, she immediately joyfully called out, "Young Master, Young Miss!"

Without even a detailed look, as if instinctively and without thinking, she called out.

Yan Jinsu was already directly facepalming, speechlessly wondering where this ancient servant popped out from.

This brings us to talk about the self-proclaimed Nanny Chen’s background.

Although Aunt Chen lives in the new era, her family was historically a servant family to a landlord, and after the reforms and opening up, her parents, out of old loyalties, remained grateful for the benevolence their old master had shown to the Chen Family.

Hence, upon hearing that the old master had only a baby master left, they generously adopted him. As the Chen family had always been long-term servants, they became poor peasants after the reforms, a status considered good, and the baby master, being just born, wasn’t registered on the household registration, allowing the Chen family to conceal him.

Later, he settled at the Chen family.

From birth, Aunt Chen had always been by the side of this young master and was privately trained extensively in servitude by her family, later becoming impoverished, the Chen family struggled to support the young master, and after her parents passed away one after another, Aunt Chen became accustomed to weakness.

She practically became an adopted child bride raised for the young master, who unfortunately turned out not to be a good seed, completely rotten to the core, causing trouble at sixteen and committing a crime at twenty that got exposed and sold Aunt Chen.

Aunt Chen was rescued by Xie Jingchen during a mission; at that time, she was almost thirty to forty years old but appeared as haggard as a woman in her fifties or sixties.

Later, due to her excellent cooking skills, she was favored by Xie Jingchen and has since been working as a cook in his transportation team.

Yes, as early as three years ago, Xie Jingchen, privately, had formed a transportation team from the soldiers who had to retire, found connections, hung it under a certain institution [fictitious], and took on transportation routes that others dared not.

Because they were all retired Rong Wei soldiers with great skills, even though their bodies might not be in perfect condition, their expertise was undeniable, and they gradually made a name for themselves.

During the 70s and 80s, transportation was an extremely dangerous profession.

At that time, there were no surveillance on the highways, and when passing through remote areas, they could encounter bandits anytime, risking their lives for profit.

It was only Xie Jingchen who had the courage to take risks, seeing his retired subordinates living worse than each other, and even the guards had to endure mistreatment, out of desperation, he finally made a firm decision to propose this idea, and he didn’t expect that those subordinates would really be willing to follow him.

In their words, they were accustomed to being eagles in the sky, but were tied down like farmyard dogs, which they couldn’t stand. Because they had no backing, the professions they were allocated after retirement were extremely low-tier.

Their blood was filled with heroic passion, unable to live like a bear.

Xie Jingchen’s proposal quickly got everyone’s approval; initially, they formed a team of just six people, with only one second-hand car in hand.

Apart from salary, Xie Jingchen could be said to have withdrawn all his money on hand to gather enough to buy that second-hand transport vehicle.

This vehicle was sold because the previous owner could no longer continue, having been killed by highway robbers. His wife, in order to pay off debts and out of fear, directly sold the truck.

After half a year, relying on the resolute nature of the retired Rong Wei soldiers and their vigilant instincts, they gradually saved more money, acquired more vehicles, and recruited more retired Rong Wei soldiers.

Of course, those who could be brought into the Rong Department by Xie Jingchen were all individuals who could pass his test of character.

This time Xie Jingchen came to Beijing, it was the first time he officially utilized the older members of the fleet. Xie Jingchen, in order to better take care of his former comrades, spent quite a lot of effort.

Those who were physically able and had good character were all recruited into his transport team. Those with disabilities were generally assigned to run business in various places.

Even those who hadn’t joined, when willing to facilitate things for Xie Jingchen, often volunteered their help without second thoughts whenever Xie Jingchen asked for assistance.

The former Yan Jinsu knew about these aspects of Xie Jingchen’s life, but the current Yan Jinsu was very confused.

Hearing Aunt Chen calling her like this, if she did not clearly know she was in the 1980s, she might really think she had traveled back to the Republic era in a blink of an eye.

After all, such address was typically used by old servants in the past.

In a sense, Aunt Chen inherently had a servile nature.

To her, Xie Jingchen was like a rebuilder of her life, and the nickname Thirteenth Master originated because Xie Jingchen ranked thirteenth within the third branch of the Xie Family, and it stuck when subordinates teased him and Aunt Chen overheard it.

Since then, she has always called Xie Jingchen by this name, regardless of how Xie Jingchen explained, Aunt Chen would stick to her own belief.

Xie Jingchen had no choice but to deal with a determined old woman who had her own ideas about hierarchy, his fierce glares couldn’t even scare Nanny Chen.

It could only be said that Nanny Chen’s elders had educated her too successfully, embedding a deep-seated servility into her very bones, that blended into her behavior.

For Xie Jingchen, Nanny Chen was like acknowledging a master for the second time, the first was the family education from childhood, but this time, it was completely voluntary on her part.

Just as she herself understood, although she wasn’t very old yet, her body was already failing, and any thoughts of remarrying and having children were pure fantasy.

It was only because Xie Jingchen was generous by nature, that she saw a hope for survival, and thus her gratitude towards Xie Jingchen was as endless as the Yellow River.
