Rebirth in Famine: She Thrives by Lucky Space-Chapter 894: Acceptance

The Red Army didn’t react much; he’s supportive of Dad finding another partner, after all, Mom has already remarried. Dad is too lonely by himself.

Hongling is still on the verge of tears. Li Yunqiao hugged his youngest son, "Hongling, if you’re scared, just go back with Dad."

"But then I won’t be able to attend school."

"Hongling, you will always be Dad’s son."

At this moment, Li Xue held her little brother’s hand, "Hongling, you’ve left Dad for your studies, and when you go to college, you’ll be even farther from Dad, and then he’ll be even lonelier. Now Dad’s found a companion, and when we go away to study, we’ll feel more at ease with someone taking care of Dad."

"Dad, you won’t abandon me, right?"

"Of course not."

Finally, Hongling was comforted.

Li Yunqiao thought about it and decided that the three children should know, so he didn’t let them leave.

"Last night, I went out drinking and had too much. When I came back, I went to Fengzhen’s room, so today I’m here to propose."

Li Yunqiao said this, and Li Yungui and his wife understood: their brother had slept with her.

"Brother, I’ve inquired about Lu Fengzhen; she’s truly a good person," Qu Xiaoli commented.

Li Yunqiao nodded, "Yeah, I had this thought a couple of days ago, but Fengzhen was a bit disdainful of my age. After what happened, there’s no need for disdain."

Li Xue was older and understood what it meant, but she had no objection, as long as Dad was willing.

"Dad, don’t worry, I will get along well with Aunt Lu; as long as she treats you well, I will treat her well too."

The Red Army listened to his sister and agreed, saying the same thing.

Hongling was still downcast but also said the same thing.

"Dad, thank you for understanding me. Okay, you guys go to sleep; you have school tomorrow. And all three of you rest assured, I will always be your dad, just like before."

Hongling held Li Yunqiao’s hand, "Dad, is it still like before?"

"Yes, it’s just like before."

Li Xue called her two brothers to leave; she knew her dad had more to say to Second Uncle.

After the three children left, Qu Xiaoli got up, "Brother, you sleep here today, and I’ll sleep with Xue’er."

"Sorry to trouble you, sister-in-law."

Qu Xiaoli smiled and shook her head, found a set of bedding, and took her things to Li Xue’s room.

The two brothers lay down, Li Yunqiao was really tired, and soon fell asleep.

Qu Xiaoli lay down with Li Xue, "Xue’er, it’s a good thing your dad found someone. You guys are older now; college is even better, but even if not, within a few years you’ll all be starting your own families.

When you have kids, you’ll probably pay even less attention to your dad."

"Aunt, I know; don’t worry, I agreed to Dad finding someone right from the start."

"That’s good, as long as you’re open-minded. Also, this Lu Fengzhen is not bad. In the future, if you can get along, be closer; if not, keep your distance and don’t make things difficult for your dad."

"Got it, Aunt."

Brother Red Army and Hongling returned to their room and lay down in bed, "Second Brother, will Dad just like the little brothers and sisters more if he has them in the future?"

"Hongling, you’re overthinking it. Dad won’t be like that."

The Red Army turned over and stopped talking to his brother; he was very tired.

Only Hongling fretted alone that Dad wouldn’t like him anymore in the future.

The next day, at the sound of a rooster crowing, Li Yunqiao got up.

"Brother, it’s so early, isn’t it?"

"I’m taking the first bus back home; I’m going to the township police station on Tuesday to transfer Fengzhen’s household registration."

"Alright, I’ll ask Xiao Li to make you breakfast."

"That works. After breakfast at home, I’ll see Hongling isn’t happy; I’ll have a meal with him."

Just as the two got up, they heard movement in the hall. Qu Xiaoli was already up making breakfast.

She got up at midnight. It was done by morning; steaming sugar buns to make Hongling happier, the child is still too young.

Li Yunqiao got up, washed, and then went to his son’s and nephew’s room, where the four kids were already up.

"Why so early?"

"Uncle, we have class at eight; we haven’t memorized yesterday’s text, so we’re up now to memorize it."

Li Yunqiao was very pleased; with kids like this, they’ll definitely succeed in the future.

After a night’s sleep, Hongling, the little kid’s mood was better when he got up.

Li Yunqiao sat on the kang, accompanying the four of them as they memorized texts. It was a rare opportunity since he was always busy before, smiling as he watched the four kids respectfully memorize, occasionally offering a bit of guidance.

Li Xue got up to help Aunt make breakfast, the two of them chatting and laughing, looking just like a mother and daughter.

"Aunt, when Hongling eats sugar buns, he’ll surely feel better."

Qu Xiaoli smiled too, "Of course, I’ll definitely make sugar buns today, if that kid feels better I’ll be relieved."

Under the steamer, there was porridge made of sorghum rice and red beans.

Li Xue cut pickles and fried them with eggs. There was also stir-fried cabbage.

With such a plentiful breakfast, Hongling was naturally happy.

Yesterday’s unhappiness was forgotten, and the matter was resolved.

Seeing his third son eat to his satisfaction, Li Yunqiao was finally at ease.

After finishing, he said a few words to the three kids and then left by bike.

When he arrived at Jin Family Village, the sky was just beginning to lighten; everyone was still asleep.

At the Wang Family’s gate, he had just knocked when the door was opened.

"Brother."

"Hurry up and come in; Fengzhen is having breakfast, go join her."

"Brother, I’ve already had breakfast."

Brother Wang didn’t stand on ceremony, and Lu Fengzhen, hearing the knock, finished the last few bites and went inside to change clothes.

Brother Wang brought out a large bag of white flour, placing it on the crossbar of the bicycle, and Fengzhen’s packed belongings from yesterday were also placed up front.

Lu Fengzhen, outfitted and ready, bid her mother farewell.

By then, everyone in the house had gathered in the courtyard.

"Fengzhen, did cousin get all the letters ready?"

"Yes, two letters are done."

"Alright, we’ll get the certificate on Monday, and Tuesday I’ll take leave to transfer your household registration to the city."

"Okay, let’s go then."

Li Yunqiao exchanged greetings with the family before driving off with Lu Fengzhen.

The Lu Family went back to sleep; there was no work early so lying in bed was more comfortable.

The two arrived at the township, waited a few minutes, and the bus arrived. This time, they spent extra for a ticket, but the morning bus was quite crowded. Fortunately, since they boarded at the starting station, they got seats.

"Fengzhen, don’t fall asleep; it’s too cold on the bus, don’t catch a cold."

"Okay, what did the kids say?"

"Of course they all agreed, rest assured about this; all four kids were raised by me, I know their character."
