Time flies, and it's already the end of June. The babies are six months old.

Wang Xiufen had them lie face down on the bed and watched them turn over.

"Yes, Da Bao, keep going, flip it..."

Da Bao braced himself on the bed with both hands, swung one leg up and back, and flipped himself over.

Actually, they would have rolled over months ago. Wang Xiufen felt very happy watching them roll around on the bed.

Lin Chen was chopping firewood in the yard, while Jiang Ning sat at the door with a basket, picking vegetables. The two chatted occasionally.

A major event occurred in the village in the first half of the year: with Lin Chen's help, the village was connected to electricity.

Of course, this is also related to the increase in villagers' income.

After the successful school project, Luo Guangming's construction team quickly gained a good reputation and took on several more engineering projects.

All the able-bodied men in the village with any skills went to help out on the construction team.

The daily wage is 80 cents, and if you work for a full month, you can earn more than 20 yuan.

With more money in their pockets, people started thinking about improving their living standards.

Seeing that some brigades had electricity, he asked Lin Chen to contact the commune to get electricity to Chayuan Village as well.

Now, everyone knows how capable Lin Chen is; the printing factory in the county town is like his own home, making money hand over fist.

Moreover, Jiang Ning introduced the daughter of the commune's Party Secretary Wang to the printing factory. Wang Qiuju, who used to be bad at everything, is now actually doing propaganda work.

Lin Chen definitely has a lot of influence in the commune!

At that time, the village's electrification was planned uniformly by the commune, and the order of priority was said to be based on assessments from various aspects.

But in the end, it all depends on how the commune leaders decide.

To be honest, Party Secretary Wang was quite helpful; he prioritized getting electricity connected to their village.

With electricity available, Lin Chen bought back the fans, and even bought two at once.

They had one in their room, and Wang Xiufen had one in her room.

When the weather gets hot, it's perfect for them to blow.

Seeing that Lin Chen was sweating profusely from exhaustion, Jiang Ning quickly turned the fan towards him.

"That's enough, stop now, it's too tiring."

Lin Chen kept working with his hands and smiled:

"I'm not tired, I just have too much energy to release, so let me do more work."

Jiang Ning blushed immediately upon hearing his words.

Since she gave birth, the two haven't officially had sex.

"Um, I've already had my period once, so tonight I should..."

Jiang Ning hesitated, wanting to say something but holding back, letting him figure it out himself.

Lin Chen smiled with delight. Did his wife's words mean he could touch her tonight?

He put down his wood-chopping knife, smiled, and walked over to her to pick vegetables. As they exchanged glances, he even kissed her on the corner of her mouth.

Just then, Yu Xiaofeng, her forehead covered in sweat, brought over a letter and covered her eyes with it:

"Oh my, why are you kissing in broad daylight?"

Lin Chen's expression changed instantly as he looked up: "What are you doing here?"

Yu Xiaofeng is really something else. After Lin Tao left, she started bragging elsewhere about how amazing her son was and how he was doing great things in Guangzhou.

Two months later, she still hadn't seen Lin Tao return, and she heard rumors that few who went to Guangzhou came back alive. Terrified, she started trying to please Lin Chen again.

If something happens to Lin Tao, she will only have one daughter who married far away, and then she will have to rely on Lin Chen from now on.

Then she took out a bowl of eggs and handed it over, saying she wanted to help Jiang Ning recover.

Jiang Ning found it amusing. She must have selectively forgotten what she had done before. This Wang Xiufen must have worshipped the wrong deity.

"Take it back, I don't need it."

She refused outright.

Yu Xiaofeng chuckled and pulled another letter from her pocket.

"Could you help me see who wrote this letter to Xiao Tao? I can't read very well, but maybe there's some news about Xiao Tao in the letter."

So you just wanted them to read the letter! Why make it so complicated?

Lin Chen took the letter and helped read it aloud.

He read it without any emotion at first, but when the contents of the letter turned out to be related to Jiang Ning, he simply stopped reading it.

"That's it?" Yu Xiaofeng thought he had finished reading it, but even though it was two thick pages, it felt like he hadn't said anything.

Jiang Ning took the letter and read it herself.

I had just finished reading it when Yu Xiaofeng snatched it away.

She knew the letter was from a girl, and that was enough. Her son was really something, managing to seduce a girl from the capital and even write her a letter.

After she left, Lin Chen looked at Jiang Ning and said:

"The Jiang Rou mentioned in the letter, is she your sister? Has she been in contact with Lin Tao?"

Jiang Ning was also shocked that Jiang Rou and Lin Tao would talk about so many private topics.

She even tells him when she's dating other men.

However, Lin Tao has been in Guangzhou for more than half a year now, and the fact that he can still send a letter here shows that the two of them have not been in contact recently.

The name 'Li Jiabao' actually appeared in her letter, and the two had confirmed their relationship as boyfriend and girlfriend.

That's quite a fast pace of development.

Li Jiabao may not be showing his true colors now, but decades from now, he will be a powerful figure in China.

If Jiang Rou truly receives his support, she will possess even greater power than in her previous life.

After all, in her past life, she had easily outmaneuvered Lin Chen and Lin Tao simply by being with him.

Both Lin Chen and she were bound by family ties, unable to see through their true colors, and ultimately ended up with their families destroyed and their lives ruined.

Unexpectedly, in this life she was favored by Heaven, and Jiang Rou was also freed from the original storyline.

It seems she still needs to find a way to connect Jiang Rou's storyline with Lin Tao's as soon as possible.

Lin Tao didn't know what was going on; he had been in Guangzhou for half a year and hadn't even sent back a single letter.

Just as the two were talking, a man wearing a floral shirt, bell-bottoms, and pointed leather shoes swaggered toward Yu Xiaofeng's house.

Because he had a slicked-back hairstyle with a middle parting and wore sunglasses, his appearance was not visible.

As he approached the door, he threw his bag on the ground and shouted into the house:

"Mom, I'm home."

Lin Chen and Jiang Ning stared at each other with wide eyes, wondering if this person was Lin Tao.

Yu Xiaofeng ran out of the house and, seeing his sleazy appearance, began to curse angrily:

"Where did you come from, kid? What are you yelling about!"

Lin Tao took off his sunglasses, twirled around with a flourish, and said with a grin:

"Mom, don't you recognize your son?"

Yu Xiaofeng looked closely and realized that the person was none other than her son, Lin Tao.

This is such a huge change!

She quickly went up to him and touched his face, crying and laughing at the same time:

"Oh my, it really is Tao Tao. Why are you dressed so gaudy now, you brat!"

"Mom, I've made a fortune! Guangzhou is such a great place to make money, look at how much money I have in this bag!"

As Lin Tao spoke, he ostentatiously emptied his bag and spread the contents on the ground.

There were more than a dozen stacks of ten-yuan notes on the ground, along with some goodies like beef jerky, malted milk powder, and milk candy.
