Rebirth in Famine: She Thrives by Lucky Space-Chapter 979: Confirmation

The dumplings today have more meat, they’re really tasty.

"Guodong, don’t be shy," Zheng Lihong said with a smile; the two sisters-in-law had just talked in the room.

She knew this was the boyfriend her sister-in-law brought back, and she was quite satisfied with him; the young man was good-looking and spirited. Most importantly, his eyes were honest.

"Sister-in-law, I know, I won’t be shy."

Wang Wugu pushed the peanuts toward Guodong. "Peanuts go well with dumplings."

"Great-aunt, I can do it myself." Guodong wasn’t shy but rarely took the dishes. He knew this was his first time having a meal at his future wife’s home and didn’t want to leave a bad impression.

After lunch, the three who had to work left.

"Xue’er, I’m going to call my dad. Are you coming with me, or do you want to stay at home and rest?"

"I’ll go with you."

A newly confirmed couple always wants to be together all the time.

The two of them went to the post office and connected with the office phone of the distillery.

"Dad, it’s me, Guodong."

"Why are you calling? Is there something urgent?" Lv Beiguang was startled; after all, his children rarely called him.

"Dad, I have something to tell you."

"What’s the matter?" Lv Beiguang was really worried.

"Dad, it’s good news. I have a girlfriend now."

"Really?"

"Yes, her name is Li Xue, a wonderful girl."

"Haha, that’s great, congratulations, son."

Li Xue listened beside him, feeling even more positive about her future father-in-law, who seemed as enlightened as her own father.

"Dad, can you arrange some time to come over? I think it’s better for the two of us to get engaged."

"Sure, I’ll arrange it, but it won’t be for long." It’s the off-season now, so taking leave should be possible.

"Dad, when will you come?" Guodong wanted Li Xue to officially become his wife as soon as possible.

"Call me in half an hour, I’ll go request leave now," Lv Beiguang said with a smile, feeling pleased that his son was at the age to think about marriage.

After Guodong hung up, he paid the bill and told the operator he would call again in half an hour.

The two of them didn’t leave, just sat on the long bench waiting.

Even though they didn’t sit too close, anyone could immediately tell they were a couple.

The two of them whispered to each other, and Li Xue smiled from time to time. They gave off a sweet vibe.

Meanwhile, Lv Beiguang found Sun Baosheng to request leave. "Director Sun, give me a long holiday. I need to visit where the kids have gone to the countryside."

"What’s happening? Weren’t you planning to go in the spring?"

"Guodong has found someone and wants to get engaged. How can I not go?"

"Good kid, he managed to win over a young lady? That’s impressive. There isn’t much going on now, so go ahead, but you only get forty days off."

Sun Baosheng knew Lv Beiguang had never taken a break, saving up his leave to visit the kids.

Indeed, things weren’t easy for Lv Beiguang, but fortunately, he had two kids.

"Thank you, Director Sun. I’ll arrange it; tomorrow I’ll go to the seaside and bring some seafood for Xinyu. The two kids are staying with her now, so I’m relieved."

"This Xiao Jiang is really amazing, putting aside her career for the kids. I truly admire her. In a few years, she’ll surely climb the ranks."

"She has her aspirations." How else to explain it? Living with the man and kids might just be her most desired life.

"Alright, tomorrow’s leave won’t count within these forty days. Here’s twenty yuan; help me buy something for Xiao Jiang while you’re there."

There was indeed a bond with the young lady, considering they had visited Russia together.

"Okay, I’ll go wait for Guodong’s call; he’ll call soon."

"Congratulations, you’re going to be a father-in-law."

Lv Beiguang smiled broadly. "Haha, I’m just hoping they both settle down, and then I’ll be at ease."

"Don’t just focus on those two. There are several ladies who like you. Why don’t you agree? The kids are settled now. What are you worried about?"

"I don’t have that in mind. Living alone is quite nice. When Jing Chu grows up, I’ll pass my work to her and let her return, so I can be even more at ease."

"Oh, what to say about you? You could have lived life freely with your looks. But what kind of life are you leading?"

Lv Beiguang just laughed; he didn’t like that kind of life. His only emotional stir didn’t even give him a chance to speak out.

"Alright, seeing you gets me riled up. Go, hurry up, take this money."

Lv Beiguang smiled, took the twenty yuan, and went out to wait for the call.

Guodong kept an eye on time, and after half an hour, he promptly called again.

"Guodong, I’m going to the seaside tomorrow to bring you some seafood, and my holiday is only forty days, so it’s quite tight. I think I’ll start making my way over the day after tomorrow."

"Okay, I got it, Dad. We’ll probably head to the city to meet you around those days."

"All right, I need to hurry. I still have to call your uncles and aunts."

After putting down the phone, Guodong felt even better, knowing in at most a month, Xue’er would be his wife.

"Let’s go home for a bit and then wait for Uncle Yang and the others."

"Okay, let’s go see my nephew and tell Aunt Lu, so she can inform my dad later."

Old Yang met some people with Chaoyang and explained some things.

They had lunch at a restaurant; Old Yang then left on his own. Chaoyang went to the supply and marketing cooperative and the building to buy things.

Every time he came out, someone would inevitably ask him to bring things back. It’s something he was used to. He’d bought everything the young intellectuals wanted, packed in a basket. He also got what the villagers wanted. He only went home after everything was loaded in the car, waiting for them.

Li Xue went home and told Lu Fengzhen that Guodong’s dad might be arriving the day after tomorrow.

"Alright, I’ll tell your dad when he returns. Xue’er, there are apples at home; take some back to eat."

"Aunt Lu, no need, you should eat more."

Guodong helped Li Xue tidy up a bit, then hurriedly left as it was getting late.

When they arrived, Old Yang was already back and had prepared a few chickens. Tired of pork, he wanted to offer his wife something different.

"Guodong, when is your dad coming over?"

"He said he’ll catch a bus the day after tomorrow. He needs to prep some seafood tomorrow."

"Haha, alright then, we’ll come back later. Next time we won’t have to drive ourselves; Xiao Wei and his wife will have to come over."
