Transmigrated to the 1960s, Li Chu only wanted to lay low and live a safe, peaceful life.
...After the fire was lit, it seemed that someone had specially requested some wind, and the fire, aided by the wind, burned even more fiercely.
Li Chu was stunned by the sight of the burning fire.
When he was called in with a nervous heart and then inexplicably praised, he finally remembered that his little butterfly seemed to have unintentionally changed something again.
They ignited a fire that should have started ten years later, ahead of time.
However, judging from the situation, the leader seemed very satisfied, otherwise he wouldn't have specially brought him over to praise him.
This is what Li Chu thought of after he came out and sat in the car.
As soon as he entered the house, he was greeted by his wife's caring gaze.
Ding Qiunan never expected that just one instance of an outsider using the military supply warehouse without permission would lead to so many problems.
She hasn't been sleeping well these past two nights, especially today. After hearing from Zhao Zhijun that her husband had been called away, she couldn't even eat dinner.
"Don't worry, nothing happened, and I even got praised."
"real?"
"Of course it's true."
"Phew~" Ding Qiunan let out a long breath and hugged her man tightly.
"Honey, I want to retire."
"What did you say?"
"I said I wanted to retire."
"What a joke! You've only been in office for a year and you're already quitting? Do you think this is child's play? Don't say things like that again."
"Wenhui will come back to stay for a while after her postpartum period ends in a few days. You can take your leave this year and rest and recuperate at home." Li Chu raised his hand and patted his wife's back.
Honestly, I've been using Yeguo Reading to read and follow my favorite books lately. It has easy source switching, multiple reading voice options, and is compatible with both Android and Apple devices.
"Wenxuan and Yueyue took the child to the nursing home?"
Ding Qiunan knew it was impossible when she said those words.
"Yeah, I'm leaving right after get off work. Have you eaten yet? I'll get you something to eat."
"I'm not hungry right now, and I guess you haven't eaten either, have you?"
"No, I was a little worried when I heard from Zhijun that you were called away."
"Okay, everything's completely alright now, don't think about it anymore. Are you hungry?"
I'm not very hungry.
"Then let me change my clothes, and the two of us will go to the movies."
"Huh?" Ding Qiunan lifted her head from her husband's arms: "What movie are we watching?"
"Red Sorghum, I heard it was filmed quite well."
"That's okay too."
"Go ask your sister and brother-in-law next door if they're going."
"Okay, then hurry up and change your clothes."
Wang Ziwen wasn't home, and Li Qin didn't like going to the cinema because the benches inside were uncomfortable for her, so in the end, it was just the two of them going by themselves.
At that time, if a movie screening was going well, nearly a thousand people could squeeze into the cinema as easily as if it were nothing, and there were even standing room tickets available.
For example, when they arrived at the cinema for the particular showing, the previous screening hadn't ended yet, and the plaza outside was packed with people waiting to watch the next showing.
Many small business owners weaved through the crowd, selling sunflower seeds and peanuts, cigarettes, and popcorn that popped out of a cannon.
A scene of prosperity.
Tomorrow is Sunday and most people are off, so it's okay to sleep in a little later tonight.
The two were dumbfounded by the situation. There were so many people outside, and there were also people inside who were not leaving to watch the second show. Buying a ticket now would definitely mean standing room only.
"What should we do? Maybe we should just stop watching. It's impossible to see clearly with so many people watching."
Upon seeing this, Ding Qiunan immediately backed down.
There can be a problem if there are too many people, especially if there are too many children. Some of the unruly kids will run up to the screen and play around. Even if the people below are yelling, the kids will just do whatever they want. You can't just rush up and beat up all the kids, can you? There are too many of them, you can't beat them all.
They didn't drive here; if they had, they could have gone to another cinema to check things out.
Alright, let's retreat.
"Then let's come back another day."
"Hey, let's go get some wontons and steamed buns." Ding Qiunan pointed to a corner of the square where there were several night market stalls.
Are you hungry now?
"I'm not very hungry, I just want a bowl of wontons."
"Then I'll make it for you when we get home. I remember my sister still has some minced meat left."
"That would require kneading the dough, which is such a hassle."
"Oh, it won't take long. Let's go. If you want to drink wontons, let's go home."
It wasn't that Li Chu was unwilling to spend money on eating out, but rather that the hygiene conditions of these night market stalls were truly worrying, and most importantly, you really didn't know what kind of meat was being eaten.
He didn't believe these stall owners could go to the market and cut a good piece of meat to make minced meat.
Rather than eating something that makes you feel uncomfortable, it's better to go home and make something yourself. You have everything at home, and with all these years of experience, what he makes is just as good as what you get at these night market stalls.
“That works too, but there’s no rush. Let’s go around to the east and go back.”
"Okay, do you want some popcorn?" Li Chu asked, pointing to a popcorn vendor in the square.
“I won’t eat it. If Yueyue were here, she would definitely eat it. Why has Yueyue become so greedy this time she’s pregnant? It’s only been two months, and look how round her face has become. If she keeps eating like this, what will she look like when she gives birth?”
Wang Yueyue has indeed changed a lot since her second pregnancy. When she was pregnant with her second child, she was almost the same as before, especially her cravings. Goodness, she wanted to take a bite of everything she got.
"Who knows? I don't understand either, but..."
"But what?"
"It's hard to say now. Do you remember Jia Yuan's condition when she was pregnant?"
"You...you didn't mean to say...you meant to say that Yueyue is pregnant with twins this time, did you?" Ding Qiunan stared wide-eyed at her man.
"It's hard to say. We can't touch it yet, and you weren't like this back then. But when Jia Yuan was pregnant, she was incredibly hungry and could eat a whole chicken in one meal."
"Then...what if there really are two?"
"What do you mean, 'what to do'? Just raise it! What else can you do? Are you afraid you can't afford to raise it?"
"No, no, I'm not afraid of not being able to afford it. I'm worried about being punished."
"Don't worry, at most it'll be a two-level salary deduction, no big deal. But wait, honey, isn't it a bit too early for us to discuss this? This is just speculation."
"If you can guess like that, then you're pretty much right. Looks like I need to start making clothes now, to prepare in advance, and also small blankets, oh, and diapers."
Ding Qiunan lowered her head and started counting on her fingers, figuring out what she should prepare.
Li Chu was both amused and exasperated, and regretted bringing this up out of sheer boredom.
However, he did have such suspicions. Since his family had the gene for twins, it was impossible that neither he nor his sister could pass the test.
Haha, if Yueyue is really pregnant with twins, their family will be in for a lot of fun. If it's two boys, Li Wenxuan will have to bend over and work hard to earn dowry money for his sons.
