After seeing Uncle Wang and Aunt Wang off, Wang Jun and his wife were trying to persuade their daughter to go back with them when Wang Yueyue ran over and hugged Ding Qiunan's arm, saying, "Qiunan's mom, I don't want to go back. There's no fun at home."

Li Qiaoyun looked at Ding Qiunan helplessly: "Sister-in-law, it's so difficult for me to see her now. She's more familiar with your place than with her own home."

That's right, Wang Yueyue has her own room here, and she often sleeps with Wen Hui. She has someone to play with and someone to help her with her homework. Moreover, each room here has its own bathroom, and she can take a shower every day, which is much more convenient than home. The child definitely doesn't want to go back.

Ding Qiunan smiled and said, "Then why don't you stay here too? If you don't want the hassle, you can stay in Yueyue's room. Anyway, she often stays in Wenhui's house."

"No way! My daughter's already living at your house. What, are you going to drag my wife over too?" Wang Jun got angry as soon as he heard that. Good grief, this was going to make him go back alone.

Xu Damao and Lou Xiao'e, overhearing the conversation, realized that the two were Wenxuan's future father-in-law and mother-in-law, and couldn't help but take a few more glances at them.

They also wanted to form a marriage alliance with Li Chu's family, a point that Lou's parents would definitely approve of.

Xu Yang would often go to see Wen Hui when he had nothing to do at school, but unfortunately, Wen Hui kept a certain distance from all the boys except Wen Xuan.

Lou Xiao'e had spoken to Ding Qiunan about it before, but there had been no follow-up. Today, she just wanted to come and ask, but she didn't expect that the family had just bought a TV and that there were so many people in the family.

Half a day has passed, and there hasn't been a single opportunity to speak to each other alone.

Outside the gate, Wu Xiaoliu had just seen Uncle Wang and Aunt Wang off with Li Chu.

"Sixth Brother, is there something you need today?"

"Hehe," Wu Xiaoliu rubbed his hands a little embarrassedly, "Actually, it's nothing, I just wanted you to take a look at Lily, I'm a little worried about it."

Jiang Li is the same age as Li Chu, only a few months younger, and is already forty-three years old. It's not easy for her to get pregnant this time, so it's no wonder Wu Xiaoliu is uneasy.

In order to ensure a healthy pregnancy, Jiang Li even retired early, letting her daughter take over her job.

Originally, Li Chu had planned to ask someone to arrange a job for her daughter, but unexpectedly, the other party quietly completed the succession procedures, leaving Li Chu feeling helpless.

“Show this to Jiang Li. It’s simple. But Sixth Brother, finish what you’re saying. You must have something else to say.”

Wu Xiaoliu hesitated for a moment before saying, "I knew I couldn't hide it from you. I actually came here today to see if you have any bicycle tickets or watch tickets."

"I remember you already have one, why do you need this ticket?"

“Xinyi is already working now, so I wanted to buy it for her.”

"What a great stepfather!" Li Chu chuckled and patted Wu Xiaoliu on the shoulder. "No problem, I'll get it for you when we get back. Just tell me how much you need all at once, why do I have to ask?"

"One hundred short."

Upon hearing this, Li Chu turned to look at him, took out a wad of cash from his pocket—the money Tian Jun had returned after buying the TV—and added a few more ten-yuan bills before handing it over.

"Here's two hundred, take it and use it first."

Wu Xiaoliu hesitated for a moment, and was about to say something when Li Chu interrupted him.

"What, you're only thinking about buying things for your daughter and you're not planning on living your life anymore? Don't forget, your wife is pregnant and she needs to supplement her nutrition."

Upon hearing that Jiang Li was pregnant, Wu Xiaoliu no longer hesitated and reached out to take the two hundred yuan.

"Give me some time, and I'll pay you back slowly."

“I’m not in a hurry. Let’s go inside. The tickets are inside. Let me check on Jiang Li’s condition first.”

The courtyard finally quieted down. If the TV station hadn't stopped broadcasting, Li Qin probably wouldn't have planned to go back.

I don't know what's so interesting about it, but the kids like to watch it, and even Li Qin, who's quite old, likes to watch it.

Move the TV back to the living room and put it away, then tell the three children to go wash up and go to bed.

Before I even sat down on the sofa, something was wrong again by that stinky ball in the front yard.

By the time Li Chu ran over, the stinky ball had already started to give birth.

He sent Ding Qiunan to sleep first, and he stayed here alone all night.

Stinky Ball only gave birth to one puppy in this litter, which was the first time Li Chu had ever seen one. Looking at the puppy nestled under Stinky Ball's belly, drinking its milk, he fell into deep thought.

Is there really such a thing as reincarnation?

The puppy drinking milk is entirely black, without a single other color on its body. To put it simply, it's exactly the same as the little black puppy he picked up years ago.

In a daze, he seemed to see Xiao Hei again.

After an unknown amount of time, the door behind him was pushed open, startling Li Chu from his reverie. Turning around, he saw Ding Qiunan walking in, wearing a coat.

Exhausted and sleeping with its eyes closed, the stinky ball suddenly opened its eyes, raised its head, and looked towards the door. Seeing that it was the lady of the house who came in, it lay down again.

When Ding Qiunan saw the newborn puppy, she exclaimed, "Little Black?"

She turned her head and looked at her man in disbelief.

Li Chu shrugged: "I don't know what's going on either. Maybe it's a generational inheritance, but how many generations have passed? Who knows?"

This was the only dog ​​he had seen besides Xiao Hei that was entirely black. He wondered if it would change as it grew up.

Li Chu stood up, washed his hands in the basin, and then picked up Ding Qiunan in a princess carry.

"What are you doing?" Ding Qiunan, who was squatting there watching the puppy, was suddenly picked up by her husband and asked stupidly in his arms.

"It's still early, why are you up?"

"I was half asleep when I realized you weren't back yet, so I came to check on you."

"Let's go then, let's go back to sleep."

After saying that, he picked her up and walked out of the house.

"Oh dear, the children are all here. Put me down, I can walk by myself."

"They're all sleeping soundly, who could see them?"

The days flowed by peacefully, and the autumn in Beijing was filled with a sense of desolation.

Li Chu, who had just left the sanatorium and was on his way to the main hospital, sat in the car looking out the window at the withered yellow leaves by the roadside.

Suddenly, a familiar figure came into view by the roadside.

He raised his hand and patted Tian Jun's seat: "Xiao Tian, ​​stop for a moment."

After the car pulled over, Li Chu turned his head and saw that the person squatting by the roadside smoking was indeed He Yuzhu.

He opened the car door and got out, calling out loudly, "Pillar, Pillar."

He Yuzhu, who was squatting there smoking, heard someone call his name, looked up, and saw that it was Li Chu calling him. He quickly stood up and ran over.
