Chapter 1441: The Year 1972

The girl awkwardly said congratulations and then ran away.

Liu Tongtong was quite curious, but definitely wouldn’t ask about it.

The Li Family Village was especially lively here. Chaoyang had come back for the New Year this year. Han Xiangjun also joined, but he couldn’t stay for many days before having to leave.

This time he came to get more alcohol; sales were going too well.

"Old Han, the alcohol production can’t keep up. You’ll have to come back half a year later. After all, this type of fragrant white liquor needs at least six months to mature," Lv Beiguang hurriedly told Han Xiangjun, worried that his side might be pressing too urgently.

How could Han Xiangjun not know? But it was so profitable; sales were too good.

"Guodong, Chaoyang, you both shouldn’t go anywhere. Just stay here and brew more alcohol. The more the better. I’ll have to raise the price; rarity increases value."

Neither of them objected, but Chaoyang still wanted to spend more time with his wife. Now, working at the distillery every day, there’s not much time for that.

This year, the distillery dug a cellar, storing all this type of alcohol; sorghum liquor doesn’t need to be stored since the city distilleries are urgently requesting it.

Now, everyone’s so busy they can’t even lift their feet off the ground; no choice, all the men have to come to work at the distillery during the day.

On the day before the Lunar New Year, Jiang Xinyu prepared food and sent it to Lv Beiguang.

He stayed that day, inexplicably drank some alcohol, and in a daze, had a romantic dream. Moreover, in the dream, he saw the face of that woman—it turned out to be Yang Xiuqin.

Meanwhile, down South, Yang Xiuqin lay beside two children that night, thinking about what happened a year ago that day.

She really didn’t regret it, not one bit. She was grateful to have two little treasures by her side. The two children were about seventy percent like Lv Beiguang, particularly beautiful. Although they wouldn’t have Jing Chu’s looks in the future, they would certainly be beauties.

Usually, Yang Xiuqin controlled herself not to think, but today she indulged herself.

The vivid memories of back then reappeared vividly; Lv Beiguang’s silhouette constantly flashed in her mind.

She loved that handsome, honest, disciplined man.

He was the father of her two children. When they grew up, she would definitely tell them.

The next day Lv Beiguang woke up in a very bad mood. How could that dream be about Yang Xiuqin?

This made him feel ashamed. How could he be like this? He was a bit disgusted with himself.

Finally, he thought perhaps it was because he was worried about that female intellectual. It could only be explained that way.

came. Everyone happily celebrated the New Year, with firecrackers continuously going off in the village at night. That’s because everyone had money in their pockets, making them willing to spend.

Lv Beiguang wasn’t idle, only returning home to eat on New Year’s Eve, and was back brewing alcohol on the first day of the New Year. It was only Wei Kaiyun and Old Yang helping him, while giving Guodong and Chaoyang a holiday.

On the second day, Guodong drove with two brothers-in-law, his wife, and children to his father-in-law’s house to pay respects for New Year.

In the afternoon, Li Xue went out to buy candies for a few children and ran into Liang Caifeng in the building.

"Mom." She hadn’t seen her mom for a long time. After her marriage, she wanted to take Lv Guodong to see her, but at that time, that man came back. Li Xue really didn’t want to visit someone else’s house, so she let it go. She didn’t expect to meet here.

"Xue’er, you’re back?"

Li Xue looked at her listless mother and felt a mix of emotions.

"Mom, are you not feeling well?"

Liang Caifeng shook her head, "No, no. I’m fine."

But due to life’s troubles, Liang Caifeng looked terribly aged.

Li Xue compared her mother to Lu Fengzhen in her heart. Indeed, without comparison, there was no harm. Only when compared, she knew how fortunate Lu Fengzhen was.

"Xue, do you have a partner? It’s time to find one."

"Mom, I already have a child."

"Child? You’re so young! Why did you have a child so early?" Liang Caifeng’s loud voice immediately attracted everyone’s attention.

Li Xue felt very embarrassed being watched by so many people.

Liang Caifeng also realized this. She awkwardly smiled and pulled Li Xue out of the building.

"Xue’er, why did you get married so early? Is he treating you well?"

Li Xue finally felt a bit comforted.

"Mom, I’m doing quite well now."

"Where’s that man from?"

"He’s a Zhiqing from Li Family Village."

Liang Caifeng immediately panicked. Regardless of being on the street, she slapped Li Xue’s back hard, "Are you stupid? How could you be with a Zhiqing?"

If he goes back in the future, what will you do? Did your dad agree? Wouldn’t it be better to marry your cousin back then?"

Li Xue was disgusted, threw off Liang Caifeng’s hand, "That’s my own business. I have something else to do, I’m going."

If not for the last sentence from her mother, Li Xue wouldn’t have felt so uneasy.

"You silly girl, you’re always like this. How can you have no sense at all?"

Li Xue didn’t look back, decided not to enter the building, went to the supply and marketing cooperative, bought a pound of regular fruit sweets, and went home.

Guodong cared about Li Xue, of course, noticing her unhappiness.

"Xue’er, what’s wrong?"

"I met my mom in the building." Li Xue told Guodong about the conversation between her and her mom.

"Alright, don’t be angry. There won’t be many opportunities to meet in the future." Guodong wasn’t very happy either. But after all, it was his mother-in-law, he wouldn’t say much.

"Hmm, I know. But I just feel she’s still so out of touch."

"Forget about it. Sister-in-law wasn’t feeling well earlier, went home. Will you go and see her?"

Li Xue was so upset she didn’t notice there were more bicycles in the yard?

"Sister-in-law, what’s wrong?"

Zheng Lihong smiled all over her face, "Nothing, I might be pregnant."

Li Xue was a bit stunned. "That’s good news. Have you confirmed it?"

"Not yet, I’ll go to the hospital to check after some time.

After so many years since Zhibin was born, I’m finally pregnant again." Zheng Lihong carefully patted her belly.

"Sister-in-law, my brother didn’t pressure you, did he?"

Zheng Lihong laughed, "Of course not. Your brother isn’t anxious, but I am. Having just Zhibin is too little. I’m thinking of having a few more."

The sisters-in-law talked quietly about children.

"Xue, Jingchen is growing up. Are you planning to have another child?"

Li Xue blushed, "Guodong doesn’t want another. He was scared when I gave birth."

Zheng Lihong laughed, this brother-in-law indeed spoiled his little sister too much, treating her like someone to cherish and hold.

"Xue, one child is too little."

"But Guodong is always on guard, hasn’t happened until now?"

"Don’t rush. You’re still young. Waiting a few years is better, but definitely can’t leave Jingchen as an only child."

Li Xue sighed, "I know too. But Guodong says having Jingchen alone is enough."

"That really shows he cares about you. Don’t overthink it," Zheng Lihong hurriedly comforted the little sister-in-law.
