Ultimate Village Doctor-Chapter 804 - 868 The New Spring

Chapter 804: Chapter 868: The New Spring Chapter 804: Chapter 868: The New Spring Chapter 868

After handling the company’s affairs, Long Xiaoshan returned to the farm where new houses had been added, and his parents now lived there all year round.

By then, the villa area in the village was also funded by Longyang Group, and Xiaoshan had selected the best one for his parents.

As the year drew to a close,

the family began to prepare New Year’s goods, getting ready for the New Year’s celebrations.

Finally, Xiaoshan had some leisure time.

In fact, since his release from prison to the present,

he had been busy non-stop.

Starting a farm, participating in the Dragon Head battle of Hechuan City, joining the Special Action Division, annihilating the Qiu Family, then holding an auction, getting involved in the Hidden Sect strife, afterwards traveling to Myanmar, and upon returning, ceaselessly participating in the Special Action Division’s grand competition, suppressing the Tang and Situ Families, followed by settling the company’s internal turmoil.

In this half year,

he had gone from a newly released convict and small farmer to a grandmaster and tycoon, commanding Hechuan with assets worth at least tens of billions, and controlling both the Burmese Snake Witch Sect and Tang Family, the foremost noble family of Xichuan.

...

It could be said that, in the eyes of ordinary people, he had already reached the pinnacle of life and achieved what many could not in several lifetimes.

But the higher you stand, the further you see.

From Xiaoshan’s position, he could behold scenery invisible to the average person.

He also knew that the road ahead was long; his current achievements were merely the beginning.

However, after being so busy for so long, and with the Chinese New Year, the most valued festivity, even Xiaoshan threw all his worldly affairs aside, spending his days leisurely with family and friends, enjoying the holiday.

Hunting in the mountains, fishing in rivers, lying in the farm basking in the sun.

In the blink of an eye, New Year’s Eve arrived.

Every household began to paste the character ‘Fu’, hang spring couplets, and the sound of firecrackers echoed through the village.

Children in new clothes ran up and down the village roads, their joyful laughter unceasing, filling the air with the festive mood of the New Year.

Xiaoshan rose early to help the family slaughter a pig and, along with little Ling and Long Shiyu, busily stuck spring couplets on the house.

The farm was bustling with excitement.

Li Jialin had hurried back to Hong Kong Island before the New Year, and Shen Yuerong had rushed back to the Capital City.

Coming from great families, naturally, they could not stay here for the New Year.

But even without them, this was the first time the Long Family had so many people celebrating the New Year together.

Apart from the couple Long Dashan, Xiaoshan and his siblings, there were also Chun Tao, Jin Lian and her mother, Shangguan Baihe, Fu Xuelan, Wang Chao.

Chun Tao was now known in the village as Xiaoshan’s woman, even recognized by Long Dashan and his wife.

Jin Lian and her mother had always been close to the Long family, and after Long Fakui got arrested, the mother and daughter, left on their own, also joined the festivities.

Shangguan Baihe had stayed since her last visit; of course, she didn’t want to spend the New Year with the Situ Family.

Now that the Situ Family had been subdued by Xiaoshan and the new family head was Situ Qian, with the worship master from the Tang Family at Qian’s side, there was no fear of any mischief from the Situ Family.

Fu Xuelan was celebrating the New Year at the foot of the mountain for the first time and was curious about everything.

Wang Chao had been without a home for a long time and now consistently followed Xiaoshan.

The Long family, now large and prosperous, was no longer as financially strapped as before, and Xiaoshan personally cooked a big table of dishes at midday, enriching them with several premium medicinal herbs.

After setting off firecrackers,

the family gathered together to have a lively and cheerful New Year’s meal.

In the afternoon, the village was to conduct ancestor worship.

The Long Family’s ancestral hall had already been renovated, and as the village head, Long Xiaoshan, along with the villagers, went to the hall to pay respects to their ancestors.

Afterwards, dozens of banquet tables were set up in the village square.

To treat the villagers to a meal.

Although the last dispute over shares was unpleasant.

But as village head, Long Xiaoshan remained magnanimous, still funding a feast for the entire village and, after the meal, distributing red envelopes to every household.

A new year brings a fresh start.

Long Xiaoshan’s current magnanimity wouldn’t fixate on these trifles.

By the time the villagers finished eating, it was already dark.

Lanterns hung from every family’s home, and the sound of fireworks could occasionally be heard.

Snowflakes began to sparsely fall from the sky.

Long Xiaoshan and his family walked back to the farm along the village roads.

Seeing Fu Xuelan dressed in a striking red outfit, a departure from her usual transcendent aura, Long Xiaoshan smiled and said, “How do you like the New Year celebration, Fairy Fu?”

A glint appeared in Fu Xuelan’s eyes as she pursed her lips and responded, “It’s quite nice.

I like this feeling.”

Long Xiaoshan laughed heartily, “I’m glad you like it.

I thought you preferred peace and quiet, but New Year’s is all about bustling crowds, hardly a moment of stillness.”

Fu Xuelan expressed, “I really envy you, having such a large family.”

Looking at his parents and younger sister ahead, Long Xiaoshan softly said, “Yes, my most treasured wealth is them.”

He turned around, only to notice a hint of sadness on Chun Tao’s face.

He grasped Chun Tao’s hand and asked, “What’s wrong, Taozi?”

Chun Tao quickly shook her head and replied, “Nothing, nothing?”

Long Xiaoshan feigned anger, “Being formal with me again, huh?

Is your bottom itching for a whipping?”

Chun Tao hurriedly said, “Not at all, I…

I just miss my family and my little sister.

I wonder how she’s doing now.

It’s been four years since I left home and I haven’t gone back.”

Chun Tao’s voice was tinged with sorrow.

Long Xiaoshan was taken aback, realizing he had never inquired about Chun Tao’s family situation.

This oversight was his mistake.

Tightening his grip on her hand, he said, “Well, that’s easy to fix.

After the New Year, I’ll find a chance to visit your home with you.”

“Ah, you…

you want to come home with me!” Chun Tao exclaimed in surprise.

“Of course.

Come to think of it, you joined me and this lame son-in-law still hasn’t met the in-laws.

My fault!

I believe it’s customary to visit the maternal home on the second day of the New Year, isn’t it?

Let’s head out the day after tomorrow.

Oh, where is your home exactly?” Long Xiaoshan said.

Chun Tao stood there rigid, at a loss for words.

She said, “This…

this doesn’t seem right.

I…

I’m not your wife yet, I…

I haven’t been.

It’s not right, little Xiaoshan, you can’t.”

Long Xiaoshan clasped Chun Tao’s shoulders, looking intently into her eyes, he earnestly said, “Who says you’re not?

In my eyes, Xu Chuntao, you are the wife of Long Xiaoshan, and not even the Heavenly King could change that!”

Chun Tao’s lips trembled slightly, tears instantly welling up in her eyes.

She suddenly flung herself into Long Xiaoshan’s embrace, hugging him tightly, as if trying to meld her body into his.

Shangguan Baihe, Jin Lian, and Fu Xuelan, who were nearby, stopped in their tracks and turned to look at the couple embracing under the street light.

A trace of indescribable emotion showed in each of their eyes.

Taking a deep breath, Shangguan Baihe gave Jin Lian and Fu Xuelan a knowing look.

The two women nodded subtly and quietly walked away.
