That night, as the three of them lay in bed, Xu Keke was reminded of the night she was preparing to leave the army with her two children.

In just a few short days, these two children are different now than they were back then.

Although they are still innocent and kind, through their own deliberate planning and encouragement, they not only have more ideas than before, but have also learned to express themselves and persevere.

Just like now, the two children didn't push each other; Da Cui directly asked her, "Mom, are you going to be with that Uncle Fan?"

"I did have this idea, and I originally wanted to discuss it with you, but Miss Feng brought it up earlier today, which put me in a bit of a passive position."

Yuanbao: "What if we don't agree?"

“If you disagree, there must be a reason. What is that reason? If your reasons are correct, I will listen to you. You are my dearest family members, and of course I hope to receive your blessings.”

Yuanbao became anxious, "We have good reasons for opposing it. You don't even know what he does for a living, how can you marry him? We don't even know where his family lives."

Xu Keke hugged the two children again. It seemed that when Zhao Xiuying came that day and mentioned her remarriage, the two children not only listened but were also considering her feelings. It must be said that Feng Lichun really raised two good children.

"He's also a member of the People's Liberation Army, and his work is currently kept secret. But you'll find out soon enough."

"Like Mr. Kobayashi?"

Xu Keke sighed, "Yuanbao is just too clever. What am I going to do?"

With the blessings of their two children, Xu Keke and Fan Wu no longer hesitated. Fan Wu, due to his special status, submitted a marriage application to the organization and awaited approval before getting married.

Upon receiving the letter, Miss Feng insisted on giving Xu Keke a gift. She took Xu Keke to a porcelain shop on South Street, ordered several sets of tableware that were not cheap, and let Xu Keke choose from them.

Some were elegant, some were luxurious, and some had auspicious meanings. Xu Keke understood why she was being asked to choose; it was indeed difficult to choose, as every single outfit was beautiful.

"Feng Lichun!"

Xu Keke looked in the direction of the voice and saw Chen Yufen. She was already thin, but now she was even thinner, and her clothes looked baggy on her. Because of her thinness, her cheeks had sunken. Xu Keke never expected that in just a few days, she would become so haggard.

"Feng Lichun, you've come here to laugh at me, haven't you? Please leave. You're not welcome in our shop." Chen Yufen looked at Xu Keke with a gloomy face.

Unlike her sister, she seemed more composed. Xu Keke didn't move, just calmly looked at her. "This store is state-owned now, right? You're just an employee here, not a young lady. What right do you have to kick me out?"

"Yes, I have no right." Chen Yufen sneered. "You came here to laugh at me, didn't you? Well, you see, I lost my child and got divorced. Isn't that satisfying? You're doing better and better, while I've become like this."

Xu Keke looked around and asked, "Where's your sister?"

Although the land had become public property, they could continue to work and earn wages there if they wanted. She had heard from Fan Wu that Zhou Chengguang's confinement had been lifted. Chen Yurong was also unemployed; she must be here.

"You're really good at pretending. Well, if you weren't, how could I have been fooled by you and thought you were some clueless country bumpkin? That man is no ordinary person. My sister was interested in him back then, and I told her not to make any rash moves, but I never expected that you would get the better deal."

"What do you mean?"

"What do I mean? With that person around, Zhou Chengguang is doomed. Zhou Chengguang has already transferred to civilian work, and my sister went with him. She's looking after a farm in the southern suburbs. You didn't know that, did you?"

"Believe it or not, I really didn't know," Fan Wu said, as he was away on a mission. It seemed to have happened only in the last few days. Xu Keke glanced at her stomach. "Zhou Chengguang's mother said you were pregnant. How come you got divorced and lost your child?"

Chen Yufen looked out the window with a sorrowful expression and a bitter smile. "Liu Wenda has also been dismissed. He had originally agreed with me that it was a fake divorce, but now it's a real one. He's blaming me, but it was he who insisted that Zhou Chengguang was about to be transferred to the military region. That's why I had the idea of ​​marrying my sister to Zhou Chengguang. Now he's putting all the blame on me."

So she wasn't a good person to begin with. Xu Keke didn't want to say anything more; she had to walk her own path and couldn't blame anyone else.

Xu Keke finally chose the bright yellow tableware set with auspicious floral patterns. Miss Feng was a little disappointed; nowadays, they just wrap things up hastily in kraft paper and newspaper, no longer using the exquisite boxes of the past.

Before leaving, Xu Keke said to Chen Yufen, "If you feel frustrated, just vent your anger. Why keep fighting with yourself?"

"You're telling me to learn from you."

“Learn from me? What’s wrong with learning from me? At least it makes me feel good.”

"I feel so good!" Chen Yufen murmured.

Xu Keke and Miss Feng had already left the store when Chen Yufen suddenly rushed to the door, "Feng Lichun, Liu Wenda said that your arrival was deliberately targeting Zhou Chengguang, and we've all been used."

Xu Keke didn't even turn her head. The timing of Liao Meng writing that letter was just too coincidental. Including his subsequent actions, but she hoped more that he was acting out of a sense of justice.

Miss Feng walked beside her, glancing at her repeatedly. "You really don't care?"

"What they care about is that they started with bad intentions. That's what allowed others to take advantage of them. When it comes to scheming, it's always about calculating human nature."

“I knew you weren’t your average rural woman. I knew it the moment I saw you.”
