University student Qin Xiaoyu died with deep regrets, betrayed by a scumbag. Reborn, she finds herself in the body of a 25-year-old young widow with depression and two children, living in the 1980s...
"Who is Director Feng? Why can't he see this child?" She suddenly realized something, covered her mouth, glanced in the direction of Building No. 4, then looked at Xiao Zichen, and understood everything.
"Sister-in-law, don't go over there yet." Qin Xiaoyu was worried that her fourth sister-in-law might say something inappropriate.
"Is Director Feng's son Xiao Zichen's father?" Sister-in-law Si was overjoyed with her discovery.
"Sister-in-law, don't make wild guesses. It's best not to mention this." Qin Xiaoyu helped her take Xiao Zichen out of the blanket.
"I'm just curious. I don't care who his father is. This child is mine, raised by me, and no one can take him away." Fourth Sister-in-law tossed Xiao Zichen around and kissed his chubby face several times.
Upon hearing this, Qin Xiaoyu suddenly felt uneasy.
Since Director Feng was coming over, it was impossible not to invite him to stay for a meal. Tang Wenwen didn't want to stay in Building 4, so she made an excuse to go back to her room.
"Xiaoyu, is that your sister-in-law? I heard she's helping you manage your business." Director Feng was determined to find a daughter-in-law from the Tang family. He hadn't been too fond of Tang Wenwen at first, but now that he'd seen her more often, he found her more pleasing to the eye.
Although she wasn't as beautiful as Tang Fengqin, she had a refreshing and neat look that resembled Tang Fengqin's when she was young, so I settled for second best.
"Aunt Feng, her boyfriend is arguing with me about her business counter in Shanghai." Qin Xiaoyu brought this up specifically, because Director Feng immediately lost interest upon hearing that Tang Wenwen had a boyfriend.
Qin Xiaoyu left Building 4 and went to the Tang family's house.
The room was unusually quiet, with only Tang Wenwen sitting by the window, lost in thought.
"Wenwen, I also want to ask you, how are things going with Fusheng?" Qin Xiaoyu sat down next to her.
"There's no progress. I can't get past my aunt. Nothing I say will help. But who dares to pry open the door?" Tang Wenwen said dejectedly.
"So what are your own thoughts?"
"How could I dare to have any thoughts? When I think of Xiao Zichen, I cut off all my hopes." Tang Wenwen gave a bitter smile.
"So, do you like Jiang Fusheng or not?" Qin Xiaoyu pressed.
"What good is liking him? He appeared at the wrong time, so I have no choice but to give up... Fusheng!" Tang Wenwen exclaimed and ran quickly towards the door.
Jiang Fusheng walked over, carrying a suitcase, braving the wind and snow.
Qin Xiaoyu felt a mix of emotions; these two had suffered enough. Tang Wenwen was stubborn, but that last word, "Floating Life," revealed a deep longing in her heart.
Tang Wenwen brought Jiang Fusheng over, and the two walked and talked and laughed, with the gloom on Wenwen's face gone.
"There's nowhere to stay here, let's go to Building 4." Qin Xiaoyu realized that no matter how many rooms there were, they could all be filled; the human reproductive capacity was just too powerful.
"Let's put our luggage down first. There are a lot of people over there, all in Building 4." Tang Wenwen didn't want Jiang Fusheng to go over there.
"You too, you abandoned your aunt for Wenwen?" Qin Xiaoyu deliberately provoked Jiang Fusheng.
"Don't wrong me, it was my aunt who made me come. I couldn't refuse even if I said no." Jiang Fusheng said, taking out several gifts from his suitcase. They were clearly prepared by his aunt, each one exquisite. Most thoughtfully, there was even a gift for Zhou Xing's mother. It was obvious that Jiang Fusheng had talked to his aunt a lot about Qin Xiaoyu.
In any case, it's the Lunar New Year, and I can't just stay at the Tang family's house and not show my face.
After a while, Qin Xiaoyu accompanied the two of them to Building No. 4.
They called the children back while they were outside. The wind and snow were getting stronger and stronger, and the wind stung their faces. Their little faces were all frozen red like apples.
As soon as the children entered the house, they chattered excitedly, and each family went up to greet them and claim their own. The little girl rushed into Zhou Xing's mother's arms, and Commander Zhou breathed on Hanhan's little hands, which were red from the cold, and then wiped them with his breath.
Xiao Jin and Li Sheng surrounded Zhou Yue.
"You're all cold, come back later, don't let your mother catch a cold," Deng Jianyan kept urging them to leave, saying they were too cold.
"When will we be able to have such a lively family gathering?" Director Feng asked enviously.
"Mom, Fusheng is here." Qin Xiaoyu shooed Tang Hu, who was slow to move at the door, and let Jiang Fusheng in.
"Oh my, Fusheng's here! Come in quickly!" Grandma Hanhan's eyes lit up, her joy no different from seeing her son-in-law.
“Perfect timing, let’s stay a few more days. It’s not easy for Wenwen to have some free time,” Zhou Xing’s mother said with a smile.
"Is this your sister-in-law's boyfriend? He seems like a nice guy." Director Feng, having figured it out himself, pulled Qin Xiaoyu aside and asked.
"Yes, I came all the way from the provincial capital to be with her." Qin Xiaoyu first stuffed a mouthful of dog food into her mouth.
A Lei crawled in carrying a cake, his head covered in snowflakes, his neck shivering from the cold.
"Uncle Lei, our cake won't lose a fight. Don't always get involved. When kids fight, nobody should interfere, or it will have no friends," Hanhan couldn't help but protest.
Qin Xiaoyu then realized that he had gone to help the cake fight again. For some reason, the way he shyly scratched his head was so cute.
"This is Xiaoyu's boyfriend? How come I didn't know?" Director Feng asked in surprise, having just made a discovery.
"Alright, it's time to take your seats. Go wash your hands." Seeing that Qin Xiaoyu didn't know how to answer, Zhou Xing's mother quickly changed the subject.
Fortunately, these people were used to working together, and the group of over thirty people didn't get into any trouble. Grandma Hanhan helped Mrs. Hanhan over to take her seat. Commander Zhou and Grandpa Hanhan tidied up the chessboard, and Qi Si called Aunt Wang and Fourth Sister-in-law to come over for dinner.
The children lined up to wash their hands, the older ones looking after the younger ones, and then took their seats in turn.
"When will our family grow to a large size?" Director Feng sighed again.
"That depends on your son's efforts." After saying that, Jing Tian's father asked, "Why isn't he here yet?"
"Jing Tian is coming?" Qin Xiaoyu was surprised.
"He just got back yesterday, transiting through Beijing, so it was a bit slow. This time he can stay a few more days," Director Feng said with a smile, his face full of happiness.
"That's great." Qin Xiaoyu didn't even have time to hide the disappointment in her tone. She glanced at Tang Wenwen, a warning in her eyes.
"My stomach's a little upset, you guys eat first." Tang Wenwen got up and walked out. Half of the people present knew what was going on, and the rest, seeing that no one seemed to care, didn't think much of it either.
When Jiang Fusheng heard Tang Wenwen say that her stomach hurt, he immediately couldn't sit still and hurriedly got up to follow her.
"Eat, everyone, eat! The food will get cold soon," Zhou Xing's mother urged, trying to draw everyone's attention back.
Just as Tang Wenwen reached the door, it opened and Xiao Si's wife walked in.
"Hehe, I'm here to freeload, and I even brought a guest with me. He went to our building." As she spoke, Sister-in-law Xiao Si made way for Jing Tian to walk in.
He spotted Tang Wenwen at a glance, and froze on the spot as if struck by lightning.
Tang Wenwen was not much better off than him; her face was pale and completely bloodless.
