Vientiane Throne of Civilization

Chapter 2025 Elf Apartment
Jenny and Carter's families have been neighbors for generations.

Not only do the two of them know each other, but their parents, grandparents, and even their ancestors all know each other and grew up together.

At this moment, the "Carter boy" that Grandpa Elf was referring to wasn't Carter, but rather Carter's father, Old Carter.

In the blink of an eye, Carter saw the two elderly people and quickly led his wife and children over to greet them.

"So, your family has moved here too?"

Old Carter smiled and nodded in agreement, saying that he had come to move things first, and would bring his two elderly relatives over after everything was settled.

The two elderly people were delighted! Now they would have someone to keep them company here!

Carter, that kid, don't let his seemingly clueless and unplanned nature fool you. He's actually quite clever, and you could even say he's a bit cunning.

He didn't put much effort into finding an apartment because he knew Jenny was reliable. Jenny had looked around so much, so there must be nothing wrong with it. He could just rent a suitable apartment in this complex.

When Jenny started working to earn money, Carter followed suit. Later, when Jenny came to Dazhou to work, Carter followed. Now, Jenny rents a place in the city and has brought his whole family with him, and Carter has done the same.

Come to think of it, Carter has never missed out on any good thing; he's actually quite shrewd!
That kid Carter just rented the apartment across from Jenny's.

When Jenny came to see it before, he saw both sets and they were basically the same. Carter made a note of it then. While saving up some money, he went back and collected some of Old Carter's gold coins and told his family about it.

When Carter heard this, he was somewhat tempted.

Carter's playful nature was somewhat inherited from his father, Carter. Ever since he went on a tour of the Great Zhou Dynasty with a sightseeing group, Carter had become a frequent visitor to the border cities of the Great Zhou.

If it weren't for his elderly parents needing care, he would have wanted to go to Dazhou to work.

Now that Carter has said that, how could he not be tempted?
But when he heard that the rent would be so expensive if he brought his whole family over, old Carter hesitated again.

At this point, Carter unleashed his trump card.

“Jenny and his family did the same thing!”

"What are we waiting for? Let's go!"

Carter had a firm grip on him; from childhood to adulthood, whenever Jenny took the lead, Carter would almost always agree.

Because Old Carter also knew that although his son was unreliable and always grinning foolishly, Jenny was reliable!

So he always told his silly son to play with Jenny more often.

Then the father and son chipped in, and later Carter called his wife over to chip in some more, and they actually managed to raise enough.

Then the whole family happily started moving.

On the night that Carter's family officially moved into the apartment, the two elves got together for a meal, which was quite lively.

The next morning, the children and grandchildren all had their own things to do, and the two sets of elderly people got together and started chatting.

Before, when it was just my own elderly parents, they didn't want to go anywhere. At most, they would just sunbathe in the small park downstairs from the apartment. Now that another elderly couple has moved in, I don't know why, but their activity range has suddenly expanded.

Every now and then, they would stroll around the neighborhood, find a teahouse to sit in, or chat in the park downstairs, where they could talk for quite a while.

When they were in a good mood, the two elderly couples would even go for a stroll in the nature park in the city center. And taking this opportunity, they gradually relaxed and became less reserved than when they first arrived, starting to wander around the city.

Meanwhile, in the Elf Forest, the Elf villages and towns were quite small, and the news that Jenny and Carter's whole family had moved to Da Zhou to settle down spread quickly.

This was as if a door had been opened, and taking advantage of the damp and rainy spring, more and more young people who worked and earned money in Dazhou proposed to bring their whole families to Dazhou.

Under these circumstances, the apartment complex where Jenny and his friends stayed became a popular choice for the elves.

The reason is simple: there are people of the same clan living here, so they can at least look out for each other.

This led to a significant increase in the number of elves moving into the apartment building over the following period.

While the elves were busy moving or persuading their elders, Jenny, who was always one step ahead, had already moved on to the next stage.

The recent humid season has passed, and with the gradual rise in temperature, we are now approaching the beginning of summer.

Taking advantage of a shopping mall promotion, Jenny and her family bought an electric fan.

They had enjoyed this when they came to the city to shop in the summer a few years ago, but unfortunately there was no electricity in their Elf Forest, so they couldn't use any electrical appliances.

Now that we've moved to Da Zhou, the appliances can finally be unsealed.

However, aside from the cost of buying an electric fan, daily electricity expenses will also increase.

It's only early summer, and the weather isn't that hot yet, so turning on the fan is a bit too cool.

After turning off the fan, Jenny hesitated for a moment before bringing up the matter of applying to become a citizen of Great Zhou again with his parents.

The atmosphere at home became noticeably quieter after that.

At this moment, Jenny's parents' feelings were actually quite complicated.

When Jenny first brought this up with them, they were actually inclined to oppose it.

There wasn't really any particular reason.

Because they have been subjects of the Elf King since birth, their opposition to their son's sudden desire to join the Great Zhou and become a citizen of the Great Zhou was purely instinctive, and also stemmed from some anxiety about the unknown.

After their entire family moved to the city of Da Zhou and lived there for a while, Jenny's parents had to admit that life here was indeed better than in the Elf Forest.

During their time living in Da Zhou, they never even considered going back to their village.

Now that his son has brought it up again, how can he refuse?
Jenny's father couldn't explain why they needed to stay in the Elf Forest. Was it just because they were elves?
He fell silent, and only spoke again after a long while...

“Jenny, we’ll take a few days off and go back to the village. We’ll give you an answer then.”

"Okay, Father."

Jenny respects his father's decision. In Jenny's memory, his father has been a wise and shrewd person most of the time, and he believes that his father will make the right decision this time as well.
