Rebirth in Famine: She Thrives by Lucky Space-Chapter 988 Is Different

The next morning, the three older kids found out their parents were back and were absolutely thrilled.

Shi Jing kept circling around her mother Jiang Xinyu, making her feel a bit overwhelmed by the attention. It had only been a day since they’d last seen each other, how did things turn out like this? But at the same time, she felt a pang of heartache.

Especially Tingting. The little girl started crying the moment she heard Jiang Xinyu’s voice.

Jiang Xinyu picked her up. The little girl looked at her, feeling wronged.

"She didn’t cry at all yesterday, but she was very down, and in the evening, she wouldn’t sleep. It took Feifei to coax her into sleep."

Jiang Xinyu kissed the little girl’s cheek, teasing her.

This made Shi Xian impatient, as he started howling on the kang bed.

Eventually, it was Feifei who got up on the kang to accompany him, and only then did he settle down.

All morning, Jiang Xinyu was busy soothing the children.

Everyone greeted Lv Beiguang. Especially Jing Chu, who wouldn’t let go of her father’s hand. Zhao Xiaoli also clung to Lv Beiguang, viewing him as the father figure for her and her siblings.

"Okay, our Jing Chu is a big girl now, hasn’t Dad come to be by your side?"

"Dad, how long can you stay?"

"Your brother’s engagement is on Sunday, and I’ll leave on Monday." Lv Beiguang was reluctant as well, as the two children were his only concern. He only had four days to spend with his daughter, and he truly couldn’t bear it.

"Will the engagement be held in the city on Sunday?"

"Yes, we’ll all go over, and set up two tables at your Uncle Yang’s place. We’ll head over on Saturday, and Aunt Jiang will have to handle the arrangements."

"Alright, I’ll help out on Saturday."

"Jing Chu, why don’t I arrange my retirement so you can take over my job? Then you can come home." Lv Beiguang knew his daughter wasn’t old enough, but he couldn’t stand seeing her feeling wronged.

"Dad, I’m not old enough yet, and besides, we can’t leave brother alone, can we?"

"How would he be alone? Soon you’ll have a sister-in-law."

"Even so, Dad, you’re still young and can work for another ten years. You should continue your job. I’m planning to go to college, and there’s no one at home to tutor me. With Aunt Jiang here, I’ll stay here."

After breakfast, Guodong and Lv Beiguang went to Li Yungui’s house together.

Since the date for Li Xue’s engagement was set and the Li family couldn’t come over, they had to inform them.

At this time, Li Yungui wasn’t home. He would always take a walk around the workshop after breakfast, otherwise, he wouldn’t feel at ease for the day.

"Your Uncle Wei and Aunt Jiang shine wherever they go," Lv Beiguang sighed.

"Yes, we live in Jin Family Village, and at this hour, no one is up at all, with breakfast and lunch merged into two meals daily. Now, in Li Family Village, you can see the kids going to school and adults heading to work at seven every morning."

Father and son reached the pesticide factory, and it was Li Yungui who opened the door. Having already done a round and reminded everyone, he was just getting ready to head home.

"Mr. Lv, you’ve come?" Li Yungui said with a smile, knowing they would become in-laws soon.

"Village Chief Li, I’m here to congratulate you. Yesterday, it was confirmed that Guodong and Li Xue will be engaged on Sunday."

"Congratulations to us both. It’s a great thing. Guodong is an outstanding child, and entrusting Xue’er to him gives us peace of mind."

Lv Guodong followed behind the two, walking towards the Li household.

"Thank you, Village Chief Li, for valuing him. In the future, if he makes any mistakes, do scold or punish him. They’re just kids, bound to make mistakes sometimes. Don’t hesitate; he’ll be your child from now on."

"Haha, of course, both children are right in front of me. If anything’s wrong, I won’t hold back in addressing it."

"Precisely, I will feel assured with the children under your care."

The three arrived at the Li house, Guodong greeted them and then went off to school, having already taken a day off yesterday.

In the house now were only the Li family couple and Lv Beiguang.

Qu Xiaoli brewed some brown sugar water for him and sat listening at the side.

"Village Chief Li, we’ll head over on Saturday, setting up two tables at Old Yang’s place. Vice Mayor Li’s status is such that it can’t be too grand. Luckily Xue’er doesn’t mind.

Realistically, even without Vice Mayor Li’s status, a grand affair wouldn’t be appropriate. Needless trouble should be avoided."

Hearing Lv Beiguang’s words made Li Yungui feel good.

He cared for his niece, and their attitude at home kept the girl’s family pleased.

"Yes, those are just for show. There’s no need for that. What our two families long for most is the children being together."

Qu Xiaoli listened from the side, secretly rolling her eyes, knowing her husband had tossed and turned all night after returning the other day.

"Village Chief Li, will your family also go? If not, we could ask Wei Kaiyun to drive a few times."

"No need, all of us, including Old Fourth’s family, will attend. We’ll just take the tractor."

"Is it safe?"

"No problem, the tractor is fine."

With that, Lv Beiguang felt relieved. It seemed two tables wouldn’t suffice; at least three would be needed.

The two then talked some more about their personal lives.

"Mr. Lv, your time is so tight. Otherwise, we have lots of sorghum in the village we could ask for your help in making wine."

Lv Beiguang had no choice. His vacation was this short, and having any time off was already a blessing. Being late returning would be hard to explain.

"Village Chief Li, I’ll be here for two days. Today, we could make some wine, as much as we can. You can watch; I think making regular grain wine is quite simple."

How could Li Yungui agree? The man’s time was limited, and his children were all here; it wasn’t easy for them to reunite. How could he let him work?

"Mr. Lv, that’s not necessary. I tried some myself following your method, and it’s fine, just not as pure as yours."

"No worries, we can handle it ourselves."

"The difference might be in the heat while steaming the grains, don’t overdo it."

Li Yungui thought for a moment; he might be right.

"Okay, I’ll try again in a few days. It’s no rush; making a bit to drink ourselves is fine."

"Next time you visit, try some of the wine stored in our cellar. It’s too far to bring along on this trip."

Lv Beiguang knew wine was the only specialty he could offer.

"There’ll definitely be a chance," Li Yungui said with a smile. He knew that the educated youth couldn’t stay forever; there would be a day when they’d leave. For the sake of his niece, they’d have reasons to visit.

"Village Chief Li, I should stop by Accountant Li’s place to inform them," saying this, he took out a bag of dried shrimps from the package, weighing about two pounds.

"These are seafood I brought along for your family to taste."

Not wanting to come empty-handed, he had brought some dried shrimp this time.
