Eating Melons and Watching the Show in a Chronicles Novel

As a member of the working class, Lin Jingyu, a cargo registrar at a port, transmigrated to the early 1970s during her lunch break.

She unexpectedly discovered that she had entered a chronicl...

Chapter 308 We're Family!

"My daughter Shiyu is getting smarter and smarter."

Juliet laughed happily, "It's nothing serious. We've been transferred to different jobs. Your dad has been transferred to the Party School in Hongcheng, Hong Province, as the vice principal."

"No way."

Peng Shiyu was both surprised and taken aback, feeling that something was amiss. "Dad is a university professor, how could he be transferred to the Party School as vice principal?"

"The capital is in chaos again."

Peng Fengyi did not hide it from his daughter, "Especially at the university, 80 percent of the teachers were sent away, and we were almost sent to a farm too."

"If your grandfather hadn't intervened and spoken to the higher-ups, we might never have had the chance to meet in our lives."

"How, how could this happen?"

Peng Shiyu was shocked. "Didn't they say classes would resume? Elementary schools have already resumed classes, and next will be middle and high schools. Why are they sending all the university teachers away?"

Are they crazy?

"You silly girl, what nonsense are you talking about?"

Juliet looked helpless. "We can't really explain what's going on up there. Anyway, it's a good thing that we came to Hong Province to find you."

At this time.

Lin Jingyu brought tea, roasted peanuts, roasted chestnuts, popcorn, and cookies from her home.

"Grandpa Peng, Uncle Peng, Uncle Cheng, Aunt Peng~"

While calling out to people, he served them tea and explained with a smile, "We don't have anything fancy in our rural area. These are just some snacks that Shiyu and I made together."

"We've eaten all of these things."

Juliet smiled and picked up a cookie. "Your cooking skills are excellent. In fact, we should thank you for having Shiyu send so many things home every time."

"Aunt Peng was joking."

Lin Jingyu explained, "These things were all grown by Shiyu herself, and then made into snacks. I dare not take credit for this."

That's not how you say it.

Peng Fengyi picked up the conversation, "Shiyu doesn't know anything. If you hadn't taught her these skills step by step, how would Shiyu have learned to do them?"

Our whole family really needs to thank you.

"Uncle Peng is too kind."

Lin Jingyu smiled and said, "I like Shiyu and treat her like a younger sister. She doesn't deserve your constant thanks."

"Jingyu is right, we don't need to be too polite to our own family."

Grandpa Peng said frankly, "From now on, we can just treat each other as family."

"That's right, that's right."

Peng Shiyu nodded repeatedly in agreement, "I treat Sister Jingyu like my own sister, and we'll be family from now on."

"So, I got a great deal."

Lin Jingyu joked, "With a few more elders doting on me, no one will dare to mess with me in the future."

Upon hearing this, everyone present burst into laughter.

Although Cheng Nanxing didn't say anything, he secretly sighed at Lin Jingyu's good luck.

It can be said that with Old Master Peng's personal admission, no matter what happens to her in the future, the Peng family will not stand idly by.

Of course, he also knew that Lin Jingyu was kind and sensible, so it was normal for the Peng family to like her.

"Grandpa, Mom and Dad, what are your plans for the future?"

Peng Shiyu asked, "Does this mean we'll be living in Hongcheng, Hong Province from now on?"

"With you."

Peng Fengyi said, "Although I was transferred to the Party School, as you know, my current situation is similar to that of a temporary posting. There's not much to do most of the time."

If you're not here, we can stay in Hongcheng and live our lives there without any problem.

Since you're already here, there's no need for us to stay in Hongcheng and live with you in Chunnan County.

"Okay, okay."

Peng Shiyu was overjoyed. "The little villa in the county town is all ready. We'll go to the county town in a bit."

From now on, Grandpa, Mom and Dad, you will live in the county town.

Grandpa Zhang, Grandma Zhang, and Zhang's two uncles all live in the county town.

There's also Sister-in-law Lin, who's pregnant in the county town, and Sister-in-law Lu and her child, who are also in the county town.

Grandpa, Mom and Dad, there are many people in the county town. You can visit each other and play with people every day.

"Oh my, little Shiyu, have you forgotten about your uncle?"

Cheng Nanxing couldn't help but tease, "Everyone has already mentioned it, but you've forgotten about my family. Are you upset that there aren't any girls in my family to play with?"

Is it too late to ask your aunt to give you a little sister?

"Uncle Cheng, you'll make it in time!"

Peng Shiyu replied with a smile, "Go home and tell your aunt to hurry up and have a little sister. It would be even better if my mom had a little brother for me too. Then there would be a whole bunch of babies, which would be even more fun."

Upon hearing their conversation, everyone present burst into laughter.

Grandpa Peng and Peng Fengyi were especially overjoyed.

They also hoped that another son could be added to their family.

The Peng family has too few male members.

The third generation only had one male heir, Peng Qibo, which was a major worry for Mr. Peng.

If the Peng family could have another child, it would be a great joy for them.

"You little brat, you dare to say anything."

Juliet was amused by her daughter's words, "If you dare to speak so recklessly again, see how I deal with you."

"Mom, I'm telling you what's on my mind, okay?"

Peng Shiyu tugged at her mother's hand and said coquettishly, "Sister Jingyu has older brothers and younger brothers, as well as a whole bunch of cousins. I only have one older brother, so I want younger brothers and sisters too."

"You're still talking nonsense."

Julie was almost furious with embarrassment. She glared at her daughter and warned, "Hurry up and pack your things. We're going back to the county town. If we don't go back soon, what will we do tonight?"
