Fort Cou, a little-known town, is a well-preserved ancient village tucked away in a large canyon in the western part of the country. This town is the town where Xia Xue is about to start the second half of her life.

When Leng Zhong drove to this town, the sun was shining, the red glow was flying, and the sky was clear and blue. The car was driving on a curved street that was not wide, and Xia Xue rolled down the window slightly to see that the smooth road surface was paved with bluestone. On both sides of the side street, there are two rows of elegant and simple huts. It looks like a plain shopping street, with drink shops, bakeries, supermarkets, and cafes.

Leng Zhong slowly drove the car towards a winding mountain road, the ramp was gentle and open, there were no cliffs, and there was no need to be thrilling to lean out of the window. How is it, Xia Xue, is this the pure land you yearn for in your heart? Leng Zhong easily held the steering wheel and asked Xia Xue with a smile.

Xia Xue was already amazed. The scenery here is so beautiful and quiet that it is beyond my imagination, I was so pleasantly surprised! If I could spend my whole life here, I can't think of any regrets left in this life! Xia Xue's eyes were dizzying as she browsed the scenery outside the window, and she was indescribably grateful to Leng Zhong in her heart.

Leng Zhong said with relief. Xia Xue, it's good that you like it here. I discovered this sacred place 10 years ago when I was a keen backpacker. So, I didn't hesitate to buy a house here. But I rarely come here myself, and most of the time I am involuntarily in the rivers and lakes. Now, my house can finally have a long-term owner with it.

Xia Xue closed the car window, put her hands on Leng Zhong's backrest, and said seriously. Leng Zhong, I have to pay your rent, otherwise you let me live here for nothing, and it will be difficult for me to live for a long time with peace of mind.

Leng Zhong's two sword eyebrows immediately frowned and said. Xia Xue, do you think I'm Huang Shiren? Besides, I'm in a good financial situation at the moment, and I don't lack your little rent. You are a newcomer, and you will have to live alone with your children in the future, and there are many places where you need money!

Xia Xue didn't follow and insisted on paying rent to Leng Zhong. Leng Zhong, if you really want me to live, then you must accept my rent, so that I can live in peace. Xia Xue said stubbornly, her face full of seriousness.

Leng Zhong was helpless, shook his head and smiled. Okay, Xia Xue, then it's up to you. Actually, I know that your net worth is not thin, but aren't you in an extraordinary period now? So, I want you to leave a little more money for yourself and your children. After all, this is a foreign country, not a domestic one, and your financial resources in the future are also limited. Xia Xue, I want to solemnly tell you that I am very willing to raise you, and I don't mind the child in your belly. If you can accept me one day, you must tell me, I mean it!

Well, okay! Xia Xue said loudly, feeling moved by Leng Zhong in her heart. Xia Xue silently looked at Leng Zhong, cold and gentlemanly, considerate and gentle. If a woman can marry a man like Leng Zhong, then she will definitely live a sweet and happy life. It's just that Xia Xue has long been tired of love in her heart, and she doesn't want to touch her feelings anymore.

Leng Zhong parked the car in front of a house on the hillside and told Xia Xue that this was her home. On the hillside, there are many houses, simple and elegant structures, and wide courtyards.

Xia Xue walked into the courtyard with Leng Zhong and saw that the courtyard was covered with crazy weeds, and at first glance, few people came to take care of it. When I walked into the house, I realized that this was a duplex structure house, and the decoration in the house was Chinese, which made Xia Xue feel like she was in her hometown.

Leng Zhong went to the kitchen to boil a pot of hot water, poured a glass of water for Xia Xue, and asked her to sit on the sofa and rest. Leng Zhong himself cleaned up the house neatly, and the efficiency and quality of the work made Xia Xue smack.

In less than an hour, the windows in the room were already clear, and the sheets and quilts that should be washed were put into the washing machine. Leng Zhong didn't care about drinking water, put on a working leather apron, picked up the weeding machine, and cleaned up the courtyard in one go.

The sun was slowly setting and the sky was getting darker. Leng Zhong looked like a craftsman, wearing a long vest-style apron and long boots on his feet, standing in the courtyard and watching the sunset on the horizon.

Xia Xue stood beside Leng Zhong with a slightly bulging belly, holding a white towel in her hand, gently wiping the sweat on Leng Zhong's forehead. Suddenly, a few nameless birds flew through the air, whistling and circling away, flapping their huge wings vigorously.

Leng Zhong and Xia Xue, immersed in the beautiful and magnificent glow of a foreign country, felt an inexplicable shock both physically and mentally. Leng Zhong turned to face Xia Xue, looked at Xia Xue silently, and said. If we grow old together here, what an exciting life it will be! We're almost in this life, aren't we? Whether you and I are husband and wife or not, I am willing to be by your side and accompany you in the wilderness!

Xia Xue stroked her long hair that was blown by the wind, and smiled wordlessly and shyly. She reached out and stroked her abdomen, muttering that when the child is born, he will definitely like this land!

Leng Zhong gently pulled Xia Xue's hands and said thoughtfully. Xia Xue, don't be afraid, I will help you raise the child together! I'll be with you no matter what time it is! It's just that I'm very busy with my work now, and I'm afraid I can't come over to accompany you often, but you are here by yourself, is it really okay?

Xia Xue nodded solemnly and said. Of course I can, this life should have been borne by me independently. Who made me a mother? The power of the mother, that is not to be underestimated. Mothers will burst out with infinite potential for the sake of their children!

Everything was cleaned up at home, Leng Zhong changed into clean clothes, and said that he was going to take Xia Xue out to eat, just to familiarize himself with the night and environment here.

Xia Xue followed Leng Zhong curiously, walking on the gentle and vast hillside, looking at the stars in the sky emitting a cold light, and her heart couldn't help twitching. In such an otherworldly fairyland, people's hearts will still miss their hometown, as well as those who live in their homeland.

Leng Zhong led Xia Xue to a pizza shop on the side of the street. The shopkeeper was a kind big-bellied man, probably in his forties, he smiled when he saw Leng Zhong and asked if Leng Zhong had just come back?

Leng Zhong said, yes, and then introduced Xia Xue, and told the shopkeeper that Xia Xue will live here for a long time in the future, and will ask the neighbors to take care of him in the future!

The shopkeeper readily agreed and let Leng Zhong and Xia Xue into the house. There were many guests sitting in the house, and when they saw Leng Zhong walking in, they greeted him one after another. Leng Zhong also took this opportunity to introduce Xia Xue to the neighbors, and everyone greeted Xia Xue warmly.

Leng Zhong and Xia Xue made their way through the crowd and found a window seat to sit down. The bright moonlight shone through the window on the table, the light and shadow flickered, and a few green branches entered through the window. A moment later, the cute big-bellied boss walked over with a teapot in person. He smiled and said, please try English black tea! I'm a real English uncle.

The boss personally poured two cups of tea for Xia Xue and Leng Zhong. Xia Xue picked up the cup and took a small sip, the fragrance was peculiar and the taste was smooth. This cup of tea looks like black tea with milk, but when you drink it, it feels mellow.

The boss seemed to see the doubts in Xia Xue's heart, and said with a proud smile. My tea is not an ordinary tea, this is an exclusive secret recipe! The boss smiled mysteriously and continued. In our England, there is also a cream tea, which is particularly delicious. That kind of tea, it's not about adding cream to the tea. The so-called cream tea refers to the lumpy cream spread on the scones, usually with jam or lemon condensed milk. This creamy tea is particularly popular in Devon and Cornwall in the southwest of England.

Leng Zhong smiled and said to the boss, I came back this time and brought you a few more teas. When I went out at night, I forgot to bring it over, and I'll bring it to you tomorrow.

The pot-bellied boss happily said thank you. At this time, the waiter took the freshly cooked pizza and walked to Leng Zhong and Xia Xue's table.

Hurry up and eat! I won't bother you anymore! The boss turned away with a smile and was busy greeting other guests.

Leng Zhong beckoned Xia Xue to hurry up and eat, and asked Xia Xue in a low voice, is she hungry?

Xia Xue shook her head with a smile and said. I didn't really feel hungry, but I smelled the pizza and I felt an appetite.

Leng Zhong said to Xia Xue while dividing the pizza with a knife and fork. In fact, in the hometown of this English uncle, there is also their own tea culture. In the UK, there are special rules and etiquette for afternoon tea venues, such as requiring men to wear suits and ties, and refusing to wear casual clothes or sneakers. In addition, in public places in the United Kingdom, it is not allowed to eat biscuits dipped in tea leaves, and it is considered an act of not knowing etiquette to drink tea with a little finger raised.

Xia Xue ate and praised it. She exclaimed when she heard what Leng Zhong said. In contrast, isn't it a lot more casual for us to drink tea in China? Unless you are a place to participate in Zen enlightenment and specialize in the study of the tea ceremony, you can see the sense of grandeur and ceremony.

When Xia Xue and Leng Zhong finished eating and were about to leave, a kind middle-aged woman walked over from the side. She politely greeted Leng Zhong and Xia Xue, and then asked Xia Xue if she would like to be a Chinese teacher?

Xia Xue looked at the woman in surprise, feeling both flattered and genuinely afraid. In her heart, she has been thinking about finding a job, but she feels that this matter is not so simple. Unexpectedly, there was a job that took the initiative to come to the door.

Xia Xue said excitedly. Thank you, I'd love to try this job! I'm just a little worried and don't know if I can do this job well?

The woman smiled and said that as long as we put our hearts into it, we will definitely do a good job. Since you have agreed to the job, please come to my school in a few days! Mr. Leng, know my school.

Xia Xue hurriedly nodded in thanks, saying that she would clean up at home first, and then go to the school in a few days.

Xia Xue and Leng Zhong said goodbye to the woman, walked out of the store, and strolled down the quiet and comfortable side street.

Leng Zhong looked at Xia Xue and said. Blessed don't worry, it's only been less than a day since someone asked you to work. And, an engineer of the human soul! Teacher Xia, please teach me more Chinese in the future! Leng Zhong laughed and teased Xia Xue.

After a while, Leng Zhong talked about the woman. Xia Xue, the woman just now, is the principal of a charity school in the town. The principal's husband, who died in a war on terror, later began adopting orphans and founded the charity school.

In Xia Xue's heart, she immediately felt awe for the headmistress. She turned to look at the pizzeria she had just left, and saw that the headmistress had also walked out of the door and walked in the other direction.
