Peaceful Farm Life

Chapter 2444: Chapter 2445: Return to Tianyun (11)

An Jing and Su Changyi had many sons and daughters-in-law, as well as many grandchildren. During the New Year, everyone would kowtow and offer New Year’s greetings to them, and An Jing and Su Changyi would give out red envelopes one by one.

This year was a rare reunion year. After the New Year’s Eve dinner, no one dispersed; instead, they all went to An Jing and Su Changyi’s room to spend the night together keeping vigil.

An Jing and Su Changyi’s room was quite large, but it couldn’t fit everyone, and even the aisles were filled with people.

The room was filled with laughter and joy, as harmonious as one could imagine.

An Jing and Su Changyi would never have thought that their youngest daughter—Su Xing—had also traveled to Tianyun.

At this moment, Su Xing was also celebrating the New Year.

However, she was doing so in the cold and dreary General Huo’s residence.

At this moment, she was sitting alone in her boudoir, sighing.

She, too, had transmigrated here, arriving six months ago in the body of a person named Huo Xiner.

Huo Xiner was the only daughter of General Undefeated Huo, who had died of illness ten years ago, after which the Huo family’s fortunes had declined.

And Huo Xiner’s mother had died in childbirth. Huo Xiner still had a grandmother, who was very kind and doted on Huo Xiner.

The grandmother, Madam Huo, had been widowed at a young age, with only one son—Undefeated Huo—and because Undefeated Huo was unwilling to remarry after his wife’s death, he had only Huo Xiner as a daughter when he passed away.

When Undefeated Huo died, it was as if the pillar of the Huo family had fallen, and naturally the family declined further by the day. Now those with some status in the Imperial City were unwilling to associate with the Huo family, thinking it would lower their status.

Huo Xiner had practiced martial arts from a young age and was very skilled, but six months ago she went out to play and was bitten by a venomous snake, died, and when she opened her eyes again, she had become Su Xing.

If it weren’t for the fact that she occupied Huo Xiner’s body and felt indebted to her, combined with the fact that Huo Grandmother treated her well, Su Xing would have long left the Huo family without caring whether she was Huo Xiner or not.

The Huo family also had four particularly loyal slaves, two of whom were a married couple now in their forties. The other two were their son and daughter, the son named Ding Qifei and the daughter named Ding Hongye.

Ding Hongye was the same age as Huo Xiner, sixteen this year, and was also Huo Xiner’s maidservant.

Thinking of this, Su Xing found it very ironic. She had been twenty-four in the modern world, yet after coming here and living for six months, she was still only sixteen.

What made her even more speechless was that the Tianyun she was in now was exactly the same as the bedtime stories her mother used to tell her when she was young.

When she was young, she loved listening to stories, especially before bed; without a story, she couldn’t fall asleep. Moreover, she didn’t like hearing the same stories repeatedly, so her mother would always look for many storybooks to read to her in turns.

Later, after all the storybooks were finished, she pestered her mother for more stories. Left with no other choice, her mother told her, ”Mommy had a very long dream. How about Mommy tells it to you as a story?”

At that time, she really believed it was a dream and immediately nodded enthusiastically: ”Yes, yes, Mommy, please tell me quickly. Xiner wants to listen.”

Her mother, An Jing, then said, ”Xiner, Mommy’s dream was somewhat fantastical. In the dream, I became a soldier and transmigrated into an ancient country called Xiyun, into the body of a farmer’s daughter. I even met your daddy there, but back then he wasn’t called Su Changyi, he was called Xiao Changyi. On the surface, he was a farmer, but in reality, he was the revered King of Eternal Victory.”
