Reborn in the 80s: The Smart Wife with a Secret Space Chapter 414

The next day was the weekend, and everyone planned to stay here for a night and leave tomorrow afternoon.

Both Han Chaoyang and Han Chaoxu had taken the day off for tomorrow, and they just needed to return to their units before lights out.

There were plenty of rooms here, and Sister Chen would clean the other rooms every few days, so everyone could move in directly.

During the night, Big Brother Han Chaoyang asked, "Yanyan, tomorrow Xiao Xu and I plan to hike the mountain. Do you want to join?"

Xinyan hurriedly nodded in agreement when she heard they’d be going into the mountain, as she was truly overwhelmed by the elders’ enthusiasm.

Although she indeed craved familial affection, she still felt somewhat uneasy.

After exchanging goodnights with everyone, she then returned to her own room.

After taking a shower and lying on the bed, she reflected on today’s events. Had she truly escaped her past life’s fate now?

Dumping the jerk, getting into college, finding her family—this life was going to be lived freely, as her past life was too bitter.

Early the next morning, after breakfast, the younger members of the family, one by one, all set off towards Furong Mountain, which was three miles away.

The mountain wasn’t very high, but locals would occasionally try their luck on it, sometimes catching wild pheasants or rabbits.

Before leaving, Xinyan had told Sister Chen they wanted to gather some shepherd’s purse to make dumplings, so when they set out, Han Chaohui had a basket on his back.

As they walked, Han Chaoyang said, "There’s a pond halfway up the mountain. If we’re lucky, we might even catch some fish."

Han Chaohui, hearing this, asked, "Big Brother, have you caught fish there before?"

Han Chaoyang nodded: "Before I joined the army, I came here a few times with Second Uncle. We even grilled fish here, and it tasted quite good."

Han Chaoxu chimed in, "We didn’t bring any tools. It might be hard to catch anything."

Han Chaoyang laughed: "We’ll find some willow branches and weave our own fishing net."

Sun Zhenhai excitedly asked, "Big Cousin, will that work?"

Han Chaoyang looked at his little cousin and smiled: "We’re just out here to have fun, relying purely on luck."

Sun Zhenhai was a bit dumbfounded: "So, were you just bluffing earlier?"

Han Chaoyang laughed, putting an arm around his little cousin’s shoulder: "Yes, who told you to be so easily fooled?"

After speaking, he laughed.

Han Chaoxu glanced at his Big Brother: "Big Brother, if you keep teasing, Xiao Hai might not want to climb the mountain with you."

The reason Han Chaoyang suggested going up the mountain was that he knew it wasn’t tall and wouldn’t be tiring to climb. Moreover, the scenery was really nice this season, and mainly, he wanted his little sister to integrate as soon as possible.

Sun Zhenling stayed by Xinyan’s side the whole time: "Cousin, when are you heading to school?"

Xinyan replied with a smile, "Reporting on the first."

Sun Zhenling, reflecting that she had been there before, said: "Cousin, then I’ll have time to visit you and tour Jing University as well."

Xinyan smiled at her: "Sure, I’ll show you around then."

The two sisters chatted happily.

Seeing his two sisters enjoying their conversation, Han Chaoyang also had a smile on his face. Previously, he couldn’t figure out why he never liked Ji Xiaowen and Ji Xiaolei. Now he realized it was probably because they weren’t blood-related.

Thinking about Ji Xiaowen, Han Chaoyang’s expression darkened.

No one would have expected Ji Xiaowen to come to the army to find him alone some time ago, hoping he could persuade their father and Second Uncle to forgive them. She was so emotional that if he didn’t know her true nature, he might have been deceived.

When he refused, she quickly tried to resort to asking him to lend her some money. He almost gave in, but then remembered his mother’s reminders and sent her away.
