Xu Xining adores this new life, free from the heavy burdens of her previous identity and suffocating responsibilities.
What she feels most is the love from her family and the freedom of livin...
Yang Chunqin said irritably, "He likes your sister, what else could it be?"
Xu Laosan was proud of himself when he was born. He really loved his sister the most. He would respect anyone in his family who dared to say that they didn't love his sister the most. His sister was so beautiful, kind, gentle, smart, and talented... Anyone who didn't like her must be out of their mind.
Grandpa Xu named his grandson Zehong, Xu Zehong, nicknamed Xiaoliu.
On the day Xiao Liu turned one month old, the family held a celebration for him, and Kuang Guangzhi also made a rare appearance.
Originally, Kuang's parents were also going to visit their grandson, but the two elderly people couldn't travel by car. They would get nauseous even on a trip to the county town, let alone such a long journey.
There was no other way but to have Kwong Kwong-chi act as the representative.
When Kuang Guangzhi came, he brought a lot of seafood, including kelp, seaweed, dried shrimp, abalone, and various kinds of dried shellfish...
People living by the sea use seafood to make soup to nourish their bodies after giving birth, so Mrs. Kuang prepared a lot of it, but she always felt like she hadn't brought enough.
It turns out that when Xu Mingyang was in the military in their area, the Kuang family thought it was good that their daughter married someone not far away and could come home often. Although he married a soldier and usually lived in the family compound, the family could still take care of their daughter when she gave birth.
Unexpectedly, shortly after their marriage, their son-in-law was transferred to Kyoto.
The elderly couple were very proud that their son-in-law was transferred to Kyoto, which showed that their daughter had good judgment in finding such a capable son-in-law, and their status in the village changed dramatically.
Kyoto was too far away, and although the elderly couple were proud, they were also very reluctant to leave.
Since Mu Jingheng and Xu Mingyang took care of him, Kuang Guangzhi's business is now thriving, and he no longer needs to risk his life as a human smuggler.
When Kwong Kwong-chi came, he dressed in the style of Hong Kong, looking dazzlingly fashionable.
Upon arriving at Xujia Village, it became the focus of attention.
People of all ages from Xujia Village came out to see the spectacle; they had never seen anyone dressed so sleek and shiny.
Hong Kong's movies and television shows haven't reached the mainland yet, so not to mention Xujiacun, even in Qingyuan County or the provincial capital, Kuang Guangzhi's attire is unparalleled.
When Mu Jingheng received Kuang Guangzhi, his eyes widened, and he almost blurted out "Holy crap!"
Kuang Guangzhi had his hair slicked back, and it was so shiny that a fly would probably have to do the splits if it landed on it.
He wore a white shirt, a V-neck sweater over it, a black wool coat over the sweater, a large black and white checkered scarf around his neck, black suit trousers, and chunky leather shoes. If he also had a cigar in his mouth and a top hat in his hand, he would be the quintessential Xu Wenqiang in real life.
Mu Jingheng couldn't help but click his tongue a few times, circling Kuang Guangzhi several times. If it weren't for the many sacks around him, his act would have been even more convincing.
People who frequently travel to Hong Kong are different; the outfit he's wearing is probably something you couldn't get even in mainland China.
Mu Jingheng teased, "What's up? What brings you here?"
Kuang Guangzhi rolled his eyes at Mu Jingheng, but still said proudly, "How about it? Isn't it classy? All the bosses in Hong Kong dress like this. If you like it, I'll get you a set next time."
Looking at Kwong Kwong-chi's outfit now, it seems quite out of place, but when it aired in the 1980s and 90s, this style of dressing became popular in China.
Mu Jingheng waved his hand and said with a smile, "We have rules about clothing, so we can't keep up with your fashion. But how long has it been since you washed your hair?"
Kuang Guangzhi glared at Mu Jingheng and said irritably, "You bumpkin!"
Mu Jingheng asked Xiao Ning to help load all the things Kuang Guangzhi brought into the car. Xiao Ning would occasionally look at Kuang Guangzhi with curious eyes.
He felt that this person's attire was somewhat similar to that of a traitor in a movie. He found it strange that Chief Xu's brother-in-law was dressed like this, all flash and no substance. He could even see that he was shivering from the cold.
Kuang Guangzhi did feel cold. The temperature in Qingyuan County was very different from that in his hometown. Back home, when it was coldest, what he was wearing was just enough. But in Qingyuan County, it was a damp cold, and the cold seemed to penetrate to the bone.
Kuang Guangzhi was already shivering from the cold, but he endured it.
His brother-in-law had reminded him to wear more clothes, but he completely ignored Xu Mingyang's advice in order to look good.
After getting into the car, Kuang Guangzhi sniffed. He really wished a cotton-padded coat would fall from the sky!
Perhaps Mu Jingheng heard his thoughts and tossed him a military overcoat.
Kuang Guangzhi didn't care that Mu Jingheng was laughing at him; he immediately wrapped the clothes around his body.
Damn it!
He finally came back to life.
Xu Mingyang went to the department store to buy things, and Mu Jingheng picked up Kuang Guangzhi and then went to the department store to pick him up.
After Xu Mingyang got on the bus and saw Kuang Guangzhi wrapped in a military overcoat, he asked in surprise, "Brother, did you fall into the water?"
Kuang Guangzhi was stunned for a moment, and even Xiao Ning was confused. Mu Jingheng reacted quickly and replied, "Uncle, do you know anything about fashion? My brother is dressed like a boss from Hong Kong."
Xu Mingyang: "Is it popular to be soaked to the bone in Hong Kong?"
Mu Jingheng couldn't help but burst into laughter. Talking about fashion with Xu Mingyang was completely irrelevant.
Kuang Guangzhi said with a straight face and an annoyed tone, "I just used hair oil, osmanthus-scented hair oil, very expensive hair oil."
Xu Mingyang himself was amused, "Big brother is really good at making a scene, so energetic!"
Mu Jingheng added, "It does look quite energetic, but washing it is a bit of a hassle. I wonder if one jar of shampoo will be enough?"
Kuang Guangzhi turned his head away, not wanting to pay attention to these two country bumpkins anymore.
Upon arriving at Xujia Village, Kuang Guangzhi perked up again. He tossed the military overcoat onto Yang Mujingheng, then tidied his hair and clothes before getting out of the car with great poise.
The villagers of Xujia Village were indeed drawn to Kuang Guangzhi's actions.
"Who is this person? He's so impressive!"
"My goodness! These clothes and leather shoes are just like those of an old man from the past."
"Which leader is it?"
"It was Xu Zhiqing and Mingyang who went to pick them up. Maybe it was some kind of leader?"
"Mingyang's wife gave birth to a big, healthy baby boy. Is this commander here for the baby's one-month celebration?"
"The Xu family is going to prosper; high-ranking officials keep coming to their house."
"It would be great if the leader could come more often! Our Xujia Village brigade can finally make a name for itself."
"Don't worry, with the brigade leader here, our Xujia Village brigade has nothing to worry about."
As soon as Comrade Kuang entered the courtyard, thinking that he had already done his job to save face for Kuang Meizhu, he immediately grabbed the military overcoat from Mu Jingheng's hand and put it on her.
Showing off comes at a price.
Damn it, why is it so cold in the Jiangnan region?
