Rebirth in Famine: She Thrives by Lucky Space-Chapter 976: Coming Clean

In the evening, the couple lay in bed, and Qu Xiaoli talked to Li Yungui about Chaoyang.

"Don’t worry about Chaoyang’s marriage. I’m not just praising him, but who do you think is a match for my son?"

"You’re talking nonsense, so what about Chaoyang’s future?"

"I’ll definitely find you a daughter-in-law you like."

"I’m afraid he’ll set his sights too high and won’t find anyone suitable. What will we do then?"

"Isn’t there his mentor? What are you worried about? Besides, do you think Xiao Wei and the others will stay here with us for long?"

"You mean Chaoyang will leave with Xiao Wei?"

"He definitely will. Xiao Wei will definitely take Chaoyang with him when he leaves.

They’re the kind of couple who don’t like to owe others. Why do you think Xiao Wei pushed Xiang Dong away?"

"Does he look down on Xiang Dong?"

"I think that’s it. He’s already starting to mentor Chaoyang. We know our child; he’s a straightforward kid. Xiao Wei will definitely like someone like that."

"But I can’t bear to let him go."

"Do you want him to stay in the village and farm all his life?"

Qu Xiaoli fell silent at this. Indeed, she didn’t want her son to spend his life in the countryside.

"Alright, stop overthinking it. Let everything take its natural course. Our Chaoyang is filial. Even if he leaves with Xiao Wei in the future, he will think of us and his siblings."

"Sigh." Qu Xiaoli let out a long sigh.

On the next morning, after breakfast, Li Xue took the hat and small quilt made by her second aunt for the baby and went to find Guodong with Chaoyang.

Guodong and the others had finished eating too. The pork was ready. They were just waiting for the two siblings.

Old Yang and his wife were in the house. Today, the three of them didn’t have classes, so they all simply rested.

"Wife, are you going to the city?"

The seven-month-pregnant Zhao Xiaoli leaned on the kang and shook her head, "No, the road is too slippery. I dare not go out."

"Are we short of anything at home?"

"We have everything. No matter who goes out, they always bring back supplies. We don’t lack anything."

"Is there anything you feel like eating?"

"I want to eat sesame candy." This is a specialty from their hometown, and it’s not available here.

"They don’t have that here. Why don’t you ask Xiao Jiang if she knows how to make it? Isn’t it just sugar and flour? We can make it ourselves."

"I’ll ask Xinyu today. I think I can make it myself. You’re right, it’s just oil, sugar, and flour."

"Alright, then try it. Xiao Jiang has no time, but there are two people at home, so let them do it."

"Okay, don’t worry, I won’t do it myself." It’s nice to be taken care of.

Zhao Xiaoli heard Chaoyang’s voice outside, "Chaoyang and Li Xue are here. I didn’t imagine Guodong would quietly find a wife. Uncle Lv must be very happy.

I used to think Jing Chu would find a partner first, but it turned out to be Guodong."

"Haha, they are both your sisters-in-law, be happy."

"Of course, I’m happy. Li Xue is quite pleasant to look at."

"Okay, you rest; I’m leaving."

The four of them got in the car, with Chaoyang sitting in the front passenger seat. The main thing was Old Yang teaching him how to drive, and once Chaoyang learned, they’d have a driver.

Chaoyang was naturally eager to learn how to drive and watched intently as Old Yang drove.

"Master Yang, a car must be easier to drive on snow than a tractor."

"Yes, four wheels make it much steadier. But you still can’t be careless; in emergencies, the brakes might not hold."

"Understood."

"The current road conditions aren’t suitable for you to learn driving. Wait until the snow melts; you’ll learn for sure."

"Alright, I will definitely learn."

The four of them arrived in the city, and Old Yang drove straight to his home, "You two go about your business. Come back around three in the afternoon."

"Okay, Uncle Yang." Guodong carried a basket with twenty pounds of wild boar meat inside.

The two young boys and girls shared a smile and walked side by side into the building.

"Are you envious?" Old Yang asked Chaoyang with a smile.

"I’m not envious. When I get married, it must be out of love, just like them."

Old Yang understood Chaoyang’s feelings and didn’t say much. After all, this was a matter for the younger generation, and he wasn’t the kind to meddle.

Besides, Jing Chu, that girl, hasn’t come around yet. Chaoyang would have to wait.

Let’s go, we have work to do. In the future, these tasks will be yours.

"Yes, Master Yang."

Guodong and Li Xue went to the building, bought two bottles of good wine, two pounds of pastries, and then bought two pounds of brown sugar.

Guodong never lacked ration coupons. Normally, they were handed over to Aunt Jiang, and this morning, Aunt Jiang gave him several coupons.

"Xue’er, is there anything you want to buy? I have many coupons here."

Li Xue shook her head, "I don’t lack anything." She actually wanted to buy toilet paper but was too embarrassed to buy it in front of the boy she liked.

"Then let’s go home."

"Let’s go tell my dad to come home for lunch."

"Okay, as you say."

The two walked to the compound, informed the gatekeeper, and soon Li Yunqiao’s secretary came down.

"Uncle Wu, please tell my dad to come home for lunch; I have something to discuss with him."

"Okay, Xue’er, you’ve grown taller. Such a big girl now."

Li Xue smiled shyly.

"Your dad is in a meeting. I’ll tell him. Hurry back home now, it’s too cold outside."

"Alright, I’m heading home now."

The two walked for another twenty minutes before reaching home.

Wang Wugu opened the door. "Xue’er, you’re back. Come in quickly."

"Fifth Aunt."

"Hmm." Wang Wugu liked the pretty little girl.

Guodong followed suit, calling her Fifth Aunt and entered the courtyard with them.

Lu Fengzhen heard the commotion outside and also put on a coat and came out.

"Xue’er. Guodong?"

"Aunt Lu." Li Xue greeted with a smile.

Knowing that Lu Fengzhen was now Li Xue’s stepmother, Guodong also referred to her as Aunt Lu.

"Come on in quickly, it’s too cold outside."

Guodong handed the basket to Wang Wugu. "There are twenty pounds of meat in here. You decide where to put it."

"Why did you bring so much meat?"

The two kids just laughed. Lu Fengzhen wasn’t a fool; seeing the kids’ expressions, she could roughly guess what was happening.

"Xue’er, you rest at home; I’ll go tell your dad to come back for lunch."

"Aunt Lu, I already told my dad; you don’t need to go again.

Is my sister-in-law at work?"

"Yes, but she and your brother will both come back for lunch."

"Then I’ll help Fifth Aunt with the cooking."

"You don’t need to. We can handle it. You go see your nephew, he’s grown so chubby. Really endearing."

"Aunt Lu, is my nephew awake now?"

"No, little ones just eat and sleep. He’s sleeping right now, but he’s easy to care for, sleeping soundly even if there’s noise."
