Chapter 1438: Chapter 560: Farewell to Family, Returning to Beijing! Dundun: This Road Is Mine, This Tree Is Mine! [Extra 3]

Half an hour later, the car slowly parked in front of the West Fourth Ring Villa.

Aunt Liu and several other maids came out to greet them. Han Shuzhen took out a few red envelopes from her bag and handed them to each of them.

They had been prepared in the car, it’s the New Year, for good luck, and also to encourage the maids to work harder.

Inside the villa, lunch was already prepared. Chen Yan changed into slippers and gave a pair to the old Mrs. Shen to change into. While she was busy, Shen Guofu handed over two collectible gold bars engraved with the zodiac rabbit.

Both gold bars were 999 grams, quite hefty. Chen Yan was pleasantly surprised to receive them, she didn’t expect New Year money would upgrade to gold bars.

She giggled and said:

"Thank you, Uncle, thank you, Aunt!"

"No need for thanks, come on, time to eat... Sister Liu, Lin Xu and Yueyue will arrive around three or four, prepare the meal early, they’ve only had breakfast and might be starving."

Han Shuzhen instructed as she supported the old Mrs. Shen to the dining room.

But this instruction was a bit redundant, because Shen Jiayue had again made the light mistake of overestimating herself yesterday—she was stuffed!

"I shouldn’t have drunk the cola, so much gas, it all came up when I drank it."

Lin Xu, who was driving, opened his mouth, thinking that from getting in the car till now, even without the cola, it probably would be... never mind, it’s his wife after all, better not complain.

He smiled and said:

"There’s a service area in ten kilometers ahead, let’s get down and walk around, it’s good to stretch a bit, sitting like this for too long isn’t healthy."

Shen Jiayue’s eyes brightened, this was a good suggestion.

Soon, they arrived at the service area.

The two got out of the car with Dundun, first taking turns to the bathroom, then strolling around the service area with Dundun, bypassing the small car area with a height limit, and found themselves at the back of the service area.

There were quite a few trucks parked here, and some camper vans with bulky front ends, looking quite grand.

Shen Jiayue was intrigued:

"Wow, this camper van looks nice, Xu, do you think if we get one, driving back to Yinzhou wouldn’t be as tiring?"

Lin Xu chuckled:

"It wouldn’t be as tiring, you could take a nap halfway, but Beijing isn’t very camper-friendly, at least our neighborhood doesn’t allow it, plus the various height restrictions, it’s still not worth it."

Buying a camper wasn’t practical, at least the cost-performance ratio wasn’t high.

They weren’t planning to transition into travel bloggers, so buying one would just let it gather dust, not much meaning.

But maybe in the future, they could buy a camper and tour around the country, like their master, experiencing and learning about local food culture and traditions.

After a round, they continued driving.

It wasn’t until ten past four in the afternoon that they arrived at the West Fourth Ring Villa.

As soon as they got out of the car, Chen Yan came up:

"Dundun, come to Auntie for New Year money."

She placed a thick red envelope on Dundun’s head. The little fellow, who had been dozing the entire journey, was suddenly startled by Chen Yan’s action.

It raised its paw intending to open the heavy object, but when it caught sight of the money, it immediately retracted its paw, changing the motion to a press.

It tightly pressed the red envelope on its head, afraid it would fall.

"Tsk-tsk-tsk, so this little fat cat is a money-grubber, huh."

Chen Yan took Dundun into her arms and whispered in its ear:

"Don’t give this money to your mom. She says she’ll save it for you, but she actually uses it for herself."

Dundun: "!!!!!!!!!!!"

Is there such a trick?

Then this kitty has to be wary.

Lin Xu opened the back door, and together with Shen Jiayue, took down the luggage of the father-in-law, mother-in-law, and old Mrs. Shen.

Entering the villa, Han Shuzhen, who was sitting on the sofa watching TV, said:

"Finally you’re here, must’ve been hungry during the trip? Sister Liu, get the food ready, Lin Xu and Yueyue need to eat... Dundun, what’s with you holding your head?"

Chen Yan giggled and said:

"It’s holding onto its New Year money, the little guy’s got a tight grip."

Han Shuzhen looked at it with a face of mixed feelings:

"How long are you going to hold it like that? Give it to your mom, let her keep it for you."

Dundun tightened its grip upon hearing this.

It wasn’t until Lin Xu said he’d put it in the little Minion suitcase that the little fellow finally let go.

At the dining table, just as they were about to sit down to eat, Ren Jie also switched shifts with someone to come over early.

Upon entering, before he could even greet anyone, Dundun blocked his path.

The little fellow sat squatting, raised a paw, and even made a rubbing motion.

Since everyone else had given New Year money, this self-nominated uncle ought to contribute as well.

Dundun had gotten used to collecting New Year money lately, so upon seeing Ren Jie, it directly requested it.

But having worked all day, the confused Ren Jie completely misunderstood Dundun’s intentions and instead was more interested in the rubbing hand gesture.

He smiled and asked Dundun:

"Are you trying to... rob a policeman?"
