“That works too. We’ll go see the children over there when we have time.” Lu Chen completely believed his wife’s words.

In her previous life, Shen Qiaoyue learned from Jiang Jinjing that cities near Fucheng would be prioritized for development after the city opened up. Since she worked there, the houses would be allocated to her, Shen Qiaoyue, and she might even be able to live a good life by taking advantage of the location.

This will not affect the child's household registration for schooling; the child can still attend school under the household registration in Luchen.

"Time flies! It's been almost four years since I married you!" We got married at the end of 1966, and now it's September 1970. Our children are three and a half years old.

"Wife, it's my luck to have married you. Thank you for managing this household so well." Lu Chen always felt that he was really lucky. "My life has changed since you became my wife."

Since getting married, he has found his family and changed his sister's original fate. It was his wife's help that gave Lu Chen a different perspective.

“The political commissar used to say that if a man listens to his wife, he will surely succeed. It seems that what he said was true,” Lu Chen said to Shen Qiaoyue.

"Then, is this an affirmation of my contributions to this family?" Shen Qiaoyue heard the affirmation.

Lu Chen nodded and said, "Of course, my wife, you are the best, the best wife in the whole world."

Shen Qiao said, both amused and exasperated, "I don't want to listen to your sweet talk anymore. Let's go, the children are far away."

Lu Chen smiled and quickened his pace to catch up with the children, only to find them waiting for him and the others on the chairs in front of them.

There are so many people here to watch a movie.

I saw Li Qingming and Xia Xiaoli, along with some family members from the residential compound who brought their children to visit. Now that there are streetlights, everyone feels much safer going out.

I also saw He Shaoyun and He Shaohua there.

When the movie was almost over, some villagers went home to rest early.

Da Nian was engrossed in watching, while Xiao Nian had already fallen asleep in his father's arms.

He Shaoyun and He Shao went back ahead of time.

Shen Qiaoyue had to go to work the next day, and Danian still refused to go back, so Shen Qiaoyue stayed there with Danian until the end.

Lu Chen wasn't sleepy, but looking at Shen Qiaoyue beside him, he knew his wife was already tired.

“Da Nian, you’ve read this story several times already. Let’s go back. Next time, we’ll read it over at our place, and you can read it again then, okay?” Lu Chen asked, pinching Da Nian’s ear.

Da Nian shook his head, not responding to Lu Chen's words.

Staring intently at the screen.

The other children were watching too, and the projectionist was almost falling asleep while waiting on the side.

Shen Qiaoyue was so sleepy that she wanted to lean on Lu Chen's shoulder and sleep.

After waiting for more than ten minutes, it finally ended, and I could take my child home.

At this moment, Shen Qiaoyue had only one thought in her mind: she would never bring her child to watch a movie again; it was simply an exhausting task.

On her way back, Shen Qiaoyue was swaying precariously.

The night was long, and Shen Qiaoyue felt that the sky was so blue, as if dawn was about to break.

It's nine o'clock at night now. People are already too tired to go to sleep, after all, they still have to think about going to work the next day.

Lu He rarely gets a holiday off. The first thing she does after getting off work is to pack her bags and go back to Fucheng to see her older brother and sister-in-law, and also to visit Aunt Yu and Uncle Xu, who have always treated her like a daughter.

"Xiao He, is everything packed?" Jiang Mingjing, wearing glasses and a white short-sleeved shirt, looked at Lu He at the door and asked.

"Dad Jiang, I'm almost done." Lu He quickly packed her luggage.

Before Jiang Mingjing could say anything more, the phone rang at home.

"Hello, this is Jiang Mingjing," he introduced himself.

After a while, I heard what was said on the phone.

“Okay, then you wait for Xiaohe at the train station. I’ll have Jiasheng take Xiaohe there. Please take good care of her on the way.”

"Don't worry, your parents don't know you're going there yet, and Lu He hasn't told Lu Chen either. When you get there, someone will come to pick you up."

After hanging up the phone, Jiang Mingjing said to Lu He, "Xiao He, your brother Fei Ming is on vacation. You can travel together and look after each other. He's already waiting for you at the station."

"Is Brother Feiming also going to Fucheng?" Lu He was indeed a little surprised to hear that Xu Feiming was also going to Fucheng.

Jiang Mingjing said, "His mother's sixtieth birthday is in two days, and Feiming wants to go and see her."

Lu He nodded, then suddenly realized.

"Dad Jiang, I didn't know it was Aunt Yu's 60th birthday, so I didn't prepare a birthday gift for her?"

Jiang Mingjing said helplessly, "Didn't you make shoes and clothes for your Aunt Yu, and a scarf for winter? These are the best gifts for your Aunt Yu."

"But a sixtieth birthday is not solemn enough." Lu He thought that for a sixtieth birthday, the gift should be something useful, practical, and valuable.

"Don't think about it anymore. When you get there, say a few nice words to your Aunt Yu. She'll be happier than anyone else. Once that's done, have your aunt see you off?" Jiang Mingjing asked.

"Okay, I'm all ready, Dad Jiang. Take good care of yourself here, okay?" Lu He reminded Jiang Mingjing with concern.

"Don't worry, Dad Jiang isn't a child anymore. When you go over there, don't fall for anyone. Dad Jiang won't approve," Jiang Mingjing joked to Lu He.

Lu He was the only good girl left by his side, but he couldn't bear to let her go back to find someone else, get married, and then return to Fucheng.
