Chapter 1571 Returning to My Hometown

Lv Beiguang’s words were filled with nostalgia. Yes, I really miss those days.

Yang Xiuqin felt a little fortunate seeing Lv Beiguang like this.

Now the man she loves belongs to her. It’s all joyous thoughts.

When the five of them got home, Yang Xiuqin let the three children rest.

They were quite tired; they hadn’t slept well during the journey.

The couple lay down in another room.

“Xiuqin, what do you think of this place?”

“It’s all newly built, so of course, it looks particularly comfortable.”

Lv Beiguang laughed, “Yes, it’s all newly built. I bought this house because I wanted Guodong and Jing Chu to go to school. Back then, the primary school at the textile plant was excellent. So I found Xinyu; she arranged everything for me, and that’s how we ended up living here.”

“You commute quite far for work.”

“Isn’t that the case? But back then, the two kids had just come to live with me, and it was time for them to start school. I wanted to give them the best.”

Yang Xiuqin nodded. Yes, everything was for the children.

“Back then, Guodong and the other were with their aunt, who was my second wife.”

Yang Xiuqin knew a bit about their story, so she didn’t probe further, but she was grateful to Guodong’s aunt. If she hadn’t given up, none of this would have happened, and there wouldn’t be these three children.

Lv Beiguang suddenly leaned close to Yang Xiuqin and kissed her.

“I never thought I’d be able to come back with my wife.”

Yang Xiuqin hugged Lv Beiguang’s neck, “I’ll accompany you wherever you go.”

Lv Beiguang smiled and hugged his wife. “Good, we’ll always be together from now on.”

The couple shared a tender moment, and Lv Beiguang now felt he was the happiest person.

The children slept for an hour before they were called awake. The five of them went out again, and Lv Beiguang specially took them to the textile plant. Seeing the desolate ruins, he felt emotional, remembering the time he came here to find Xinyu and the scenes of taking a bus to the city.

“Dad, did Aunt Jiang used to work here?”

“Yes, she used to work here. Come, I’ll take you to see Aunt Jiang’s house.”

The five walked over and found themselves at Jiang Xinyu’s doorstep. “This should be it. Back then, Aunt Jiang lived here, and it still is her home.”

“Dad, the houses here all look the same.”

Lv Beiguang nodded, “Yes, because these were built by the state after the earthquake. You must remember, our country truly cares for the people. If this happened when I was a child, who would have cared?”

“Next time Aunt Jiang comes back, we’ll also come along.”

“Sure. Back then, your brothers and sisters would come to Aunt Jiang’s house for meals, and Aunt Jiang even took them to the club to watch performances.”

The five strolled to the club, which, though rebuilt, remained closed because the textile plant workers had moved to the city’s textile factory.

“Secretary Lv?”

Lv Beiguang heard a tentative female voice call him.

He looked over. “Mr. Wang.”

Wang Ailing smiled, “Still with Secretary Lv. When did you come back?”

“Got off the train this morning.”

“Who are these?”

“This is my wife and our three children.”

Wang Ailing looked at Yang Xiuqin several times. She had heard from Xinyu through letters about Lv Beiguang remarrying.

Really curious about what Lv Beiguang’s wife looks like.

“Hello, I’m Wang Ailing.”

Yang Xiuqin smiled and greeted her.

“Secretary Lv, come rest at my house, have dinner with me tonight.”

Lv Beiguang hurriedly shook his head, “No need, no need. I’ve already made plans to dine with Secretary Hao and the others tonight.”

Wang Ailing nodded and didn’t insist. “Secretary Lv. Where are you returning from?”

“From the Capital.”

“Have you seen Xinyu?”

“Of course, yes, Xinyu mentioned that Xiangting will be taking exams this year too?”

“Yes, preparing for it, it’s soon; the exams are early next month.”

“Haha, Xinyu said Xiangting will be awaited in the Capital.”

“That girl keeps talking about it all the time. Secretary Lv. Come by for breakfast tomorrow; I’m on night shifts this week.”

“No need; I’m going back to my hometown tomorrow. Let’s not stand on ceremony.”

Wang Ailing nodded, “In any case, you must come to dine at my house before leaving.”

“Really, it’s no trouble. We’re leaving in a couple of days, the children are attending school, and we took time off for this visit.”

The two exchanged a few more courtesies before parting ways.

“Dad, who is this aunt?”

“She and Aunt Jiang are childhood friends from the same village, and their relationship is especially good. In the future, her daughter will also go to school in the Capital, and you will see her then.”

“Haha, I thought this aunt looked pretty likable.”

Lv Beiguang and Yang Xiuqin both smiled; the children truly had a fondness for what’s familiar.

“Dad, are we going back to our hometown tomorrow?”

“Yes, we’ll return tomorrow to offer paper money to your grandparents.”

The three children somewhat understood, so they didn’t ask further.

The five strolled leisurely on the street for a while before heading to the restaurant, arriving earlier than expected, giving them time to get settled.

Hao Shichao received a call from She Xiaoyun and was quite surprised, not expecting Lv Beiguang to return.

So he left work half an hour early.

The others similarly had the same idea.

When they arrived at the restaurant, they unexpectedly ran into each other.

Ding Shihong saw them coming over, “Quickly, come inside; Lv Beiguang is in there.”

Liu Yuwei laughed and walked ahead, “He’s just like a young lady, definitely inside waiting, afraid of being seen.”

Everyone laughed upon hearing this.

Lv Beiguang heard Ding Shihong’s voice and came out.

It was just time for the meeting, and indeed, they hadn’t seen each other for a long time, and there were significant changes.

Back then, they all listened to Jiang Xinyu, so their families weren’t harmed, but because it was a major disaster, they were deeply affected, naturally aging considerably.

“Lv Beiguang, did you take a Longevity Pill? How do you still look young? We accepted that you look better than us, but we’re the same age, yet you remain youthful; I’m a bit envious,” Cao Xuelian joked.

“Indeed, Lv Beiguang, your appearance makes me quite dissatisfied,” Hou Wenquan chimed in.

Lv Beiguang walked ahead without speaking; his appearance had often been the subject of jokes among them.

Once everyone entered the private room, they collectively quieted down.

Everyone looked at Yang Xiuqin and the three children.

Anyone familiar with Lv Beiguang could tell at a glance they were his children.

Wang Fangtian opened his mouth, “Beiguang, are these your children?”
