Chapter 1578: Raising Children

This way, both of them felt a little more comfortable.

After breakfast, Wei Kaiyun rode his bike to work, and Han Xiangjun walked there, telling Jiang Xinyu to rest at home before he left.

In fact, this was exactly what Jiang Xinyu intended. With Han Xiangjun finally back, she needed some rest herself.

Yang Run Tai still came to pick up Feifei for school.

Jianbin and Shi Jing also went along.

At Lv Beiguang’s place, the family of five boarded the train for their return journey. The three children weren’t particularly excited about this return, knowing it was just for their dad’s friends to see them.

Once they got off the train and returned home, the three kids couldn’t wait to go to school that afternoon.

Lv Beiguang and his wife rested that afternoon.

This time, Han Xiangjun should be back, so the two decided to visit the factory tomorrow.

“We don’t know when we’ll be back again, do we?” Yang Xiuqin was a bit reluctant to leave the kids.

“It’s okay, we’ll go back and train a few apprentices. Eventually, we won’t have to do everything ourselves.”

When Jing Chu and the others came back from school, they found out their parents had returned and asked many questions about their old home.

“We won’t eat at home tonight. Let’s go to Aunt Jiang’s place to eat.”

Jing Chu hurriedly declined, “Dad, Red Army and the others are coming over today. Let’s stay home, and tomorrow we can tell Aunt Jiang in advance before going over?”

“Are all four of them coming?”

“Xiao Qiang is coming too.”

Lv Beiguang decided not to go to the Wei Family then.

The house was particularly lively in the evening, filled with young kids who got along well with Lv Beiguang.

They mostly asked about things back home.

Yang Xiuqin patiently shared the situation at home after they left, not finding it bothersome at all.

“So Shuxin ran away on his own?”

“Yes, your fourth uncle has aged quite a bit.”

“What’s wrong with him, is it some kind of rebellious phase the teachers talked about?”

“What does he want to do out there?”

No one knew. They were also clueless about why Shuxin left at this time. If it was the excitement of their brothers getting into college, he should have left long ago.

“No need to think about it. He’s a grown man with a wife. Why worry about him?”

“Shuxin’s wife left.”

Now, the brothers fell silent. Even though Chaoyang couldn’t say much in front of his unmarried younger brother, he couldn’t help but look down on Shuxin.

If he didn’t care for his wife, he shouldn’t have married her. Following him around for so many years without clarity, wasn’t he afraid of others talking behind his back?

That night, the four of them didn’t return to school and stayed at home.

The next day, Lv Beiguang and his wife went to the factory.

“Beiguang, when did you get back?”

“Yesterday. How about you? How many days have you been back?”

“Four days now.”

The three sat in the office discussing the Southern Distillery matters.

Yang Xiuqin was more familiar with that side, and there were old acquaintances, so Han Xiangjun had no concerns about them going.

After discussing work, Yang Xiuqin wanted to find Jiang Xinyu.

“Xiao Jiang is at home watching my daughter. From now on, my kid will be raised by Xiao Jiang.”

Lv Beiguang was taken aback, “Where did you get a daughter?”

“With a woman, of course. But that woman has left, so I asked Xiao Jiang to help raise the child. Jianbin was raised by them too, and look how well he turned out. My son getting into Capital University is all thanks to those two. So the daughter can only be entrusted to Xiao Jiang.”

“Won’t Xinyu be too exhausted?”

Now Han Xiangjun felt a bit guilty. The child had already adapted to Jiang Xinyu, but was still particularly prone to crying, making Wei Kaiyun increasingly displeased.

“Alright, let’s go home and check on Xinyu,” taking care of children is indeed quite tiring.

They carried the things their friends brought back and headed to the Wei Family.

It’s hot now. Jiang Xinyu held the awake little girl outside.

“This child resembles Han Xiangjun quite a bit, but who knows what she’ll look like in the future?”

“I’ve met her mom, she’s quite good-looking.”

“This child is quite dark.” Yang Xiuqin took the child from Jiang Xinyu’s arms, looking intently, indeed not too pretty.

“She’ll get better with time. Isn’t Tingting not my own, yet she looks more like me now? Nobody should be able to tell they’re not mother and daughter.”

So the child will change significantly, just nurture her well. There’s no other way; for Han Xiangjun’s sake, this child has to be raised.

It’s not about being selfless. It’s truly because of the adults’ connections, some things just can’t be dodged.

“You really have to bear quite a bit of burden again.”

“Yes, indeed. Wei Kaiyun hasn’t been sleeping well these past few days.”

Yang Xiuqin laughed with her mouth closed, men who can’t sleep well can go to another room; it’s Kaiyun’s reluctance to leave Xinyu.

“Xinyu, we met your former friends this time, and they all miss you dearly.”

“I miss them too. But now it’s even harder to leave.”

“Indeed, what would happen to this little one? By the way, we also met one of your village sisters; she gave this letter for you.”

Jiang Xinyu took it and saw the handwriting; it was from Wang Ailing, and of course, it couldn’t be anyone else.

“And here’s a letter from Secretary She.”

Jiang Xinyu smiled and set it aside. The second college entrance exam was approaching soon, she wondered how Xiangting was doing. Would she come here?

“Xiuxiu, when are you leaving?”

“Not sure yet, aren’t they discussing it now?”

“Are you really willing to leave the kids?”

“Yiqing and the others wish to stay, so that should be fine.”

“Yeah, you two should gradually let go too. Can’t tire yourselves out too much.”

“Lv Beiguang talked about going back to teach apprentices.”

The two whispered. Jiang Xinyu looked at the little girl who had fallen asleep and placed her in the stroller. This was also a way to train her; otherwise, she would wake up at the slightest noise, which was not good.

“Stay for lunch, won’t you?”

“Sure, the kids have someone to watch them.”

Lv Beiguang sat aside, listening to their conversation. Before long, Han Xiangjun returned.

The two men discussed some matters, also deciding on leaving in two or three days, as it was getting increasingly hot.

At noon, only Shi Xian and Tingting came back. Seeing Lv Beiguang back, Shi Xian was quite happy.

“Uncle Lv, once you leave, who knows when you’ll be back, right?”

“Yes, there will surely be many things to handle over there.”

“Won’t you come back for the New Year?”

“No, not coming back. All the time is wasted on the road.”

Indeed, time is all spent on the road; one round trip nearly takes two months just by train. What else can be done?

After lunch, Shang Zhenkun went to rest, and Lv Beiguang and his wife also went back.

Since Han Xiangjun’s return, he hadn’t looked at the little girl even once, leaving people speechless.
