Two pairs of relatives were outside sharing their hearts with each other, without any intention of coming in for a while.
Jiang Xinyu asked Sister-in-law Liu to start the fire; the won were making dumplings at ho in the afternoon, just waiting for them to co back and cook.
Huili and Wei Kaiyun would almost be back now. Starting the fire now, they would also need hot water for washing up soon.
"Mom, when can we eat the waterlon at ho?"
"Mom hasn’t been out to the field. You should ask your Dad about this."
Jiang Xinyu also wanted to eat fruit, but there was nothing here. She wondered why there weren’t apricots. She had apricot pits in her space, so she thought about planting them when she got the chance. The family would at least stay here until the movents ended.
At this mont, it was unnecessary to stir up trouble outside.
Hearing footsteps, Jiang Xinyu looked up and smiled at Lv Beiguang who was coming in.
"Xinyu?" Lv Beiguang felt as if he had been struck by lightning. Was she pregnant again? He hadn’t seen the previous two, but now seeing the baby right in her belly was different.
"Welco." Jiang Xinyu said with a smile.
"Dad, what’s wrong?" Jing Chu turned to look at her silent father.
"Xinyu, is this..."
"I’m pregnant. More or less a month left before delivery."
"Xinyu, this child..."
At that mont, the sound of tractors ca from the yard.
The three children dashed outside, just now they greeted Uncle Lv but were ignored.
Lv Beiguang stared intently at Jiang Xinyu.
"Lv Beiguang, I never said. Shi Jing and Feifei are Wei Kaiyun’s children."
Actually, Lv Beiguang had already guessed. He just didn’t want to believe it.
He felt numb all over, unable to move, especially his head.
"Xinyu, so you two have always been together?" Lv Beiguang still asked with difficulty.
"Yeah, how was your trip?" Jiang Xinyu wanted to change the subject. Today, she felt Lv Beiguang had feelings for her.
Before, she thought he was a straight man not interested in won. She didn’t expect him to actually have feelings for her.
Jing Chu also felt it. She was very distressed for her father, so she held his hand.
Shi Jing rushed in, "Mom, Dad asked to ask you how to handle these things?"
"You three shouldn’t be outside all the ti; there are too many mosquitoes. Get Dad to move everything in, and we’ll unwrap presents after dinner."
Shi Jing laughed and ran out, loudly repeating Jiang Xinyu’s previous words without missing a beat.
Wei Kaiyun ca in carrying two bulging sack bags.
"Put them down first," Jiang Xinyu quickly said, feeling extrely awkward.
Wei Kaiyun smiled, dropped them directly, and went back out to keep moving.
"Jing Chu, take your Dad to wash up; dinner will be ready soon."
Lv Beiguang was muddle-headed as his daughter led him away.
Actually, he should have figured it out long ago, but he just thought it impossible.
After all, Wei Kaiyun was even older than him, and back then, he thought they didn’t have much interaction. It turned out to be different.
Now thinking back, he found it quite reasonable. He knew Jiang Xinyu’s job was arranged by Wei Kaiyun. From the start, she had the sa job level as him, which wasn’t sothing ordinary people could achieve.
When he first t Jiang Xinyu, he wondered how a young girl could be a secretary.
Now everything was clear; they had been together all along.
A voice inside him said Jiang Xinyu was with Wei Kaiyun just because of work.
Then, another voice countered, Jiang Xinyu’s character was there for everyone to see; she would never be that kind of person.
Moreover, she rose up through her own efforts, having experienced it once, she knew the hardships involved.
"Dad, don’t be like this, Jiang Xinyu is very happy now." Jing Chu was really worried seeing her father so out of sorts.
"Hmm, I know. Don’t worry, Dad will be fine as long as he has you two." Lv Beiguang was full of bitterness.
Actually, coming this ti, he thought about talking to Jiang Xinyu; if it didn’t work, maybe they could beco a family, but the reality was so disappointing.
"Dad, you’re still good friends with Aunt Jiang."
Lv Beiguang nodded. "Yes, I was just too surprised just now."
"Dad, there’s an even bigger surprise—Sister Xiaoli and Uncle Yang are together."
Lv Beiguang already knew, but after all, they were just neighbors; he couldn’t interfere with life decisions, especially since the other party was a girl, he couldn’t say much more.
Everyone was in the yard getting washed up, finally looking after the three kids and Guodong.
Dinner was directly in the yard, with two tables separated by gender.
The kelp threads on the table were very popular.
Everyone was quite satisfied with the al. Afterward, everyone pitched in, tidying up quickly.
Old Yang looked at the dispirited Lv Beiguang. "Mr. Lv, I’m having a simple ceremony in the village with Xiao Li tomorrow."
Lv Beiguang nodded. "Mr. Yang, although Xiaoli’s parents are gone, as a neighbor, I still have so words to entrust to both of you."
Zhao Xiaoli felt very uncomfortable hearing this but was very grateful for Lv Beiguang’s words of advice.
"It’s only right, and thank you for taking care of them siblings."
"Mr. Yang, you’re quite a bit older than Xiaoli; you don’t need to say you’ll give way to her. Now that you’re willing to bring Xiaoqiang over, I’m very grateful. These two kids are entrusted to you. I’ll treat them like my own niece and nephew; I won’t stand idly by if anything happens."
Zhao Xiaoqiang hugged Lv Beiguang’s arm, "Uncle Lv!"
"Xiao Qiang, follow your sister and brother-in-law to live a good life; you’re a good kid, Uncle Lv trusts you."
"Uncle Lv, don’t worry, I’ll take good care of my brother." Zhao Xiaoli promised, with tears in her voice.
"Good, you need to live your life well. Though life here is more tiring than ho, it’s more worry-free. Life is sothing you forge on your own."
The others listened to them, the atmosphere a bit heavy. "Don’t worry, I’ll definitely take good care of them siblings; at least there won’t be any issues with living."
Lv Beiguang nodded, life is truly managed by both partners; as long as you put your heart into it, there’s no fear of not living it well?
"Uncle Yang, should we start calling her ’Big Mom’ now?" Feifei suddenly interjected, making everyone laugh.
"Yes, she’ll be your Big Mom from now on."
The three kids greeted anew, calling Zhao Xiaoli, whose face was flushed, a title with quite a high seniority.
"Xiao Wei, Xiao Jiang, we’ll head back first. Co early tomorrow." Old Yang stood up and said with a smile.
