Little did I expect... that this would be the beginning of my ordeal.

At this time, the supply and marketing cooperatives would have already closed, and the black market would have shut down as well.

Where can she buy a quilt?

Just like yesterday, I had no choice but to share a blanket with Gu Chengfeng. I just hoped that I wouldn't dream about that huge furnace again tonight...

The family left the state-run restaurant and parted ways at the gate of the military compound.

Gu Changmei was busy with the arts performance for several days and was exhausted.

The remaining few people walked shoulder to shoulder towards the detached house with a yard at the back.

Xu Hongying was clearly very happy, and she kept urging them to have a baby.

"Sisi, go ahead and get pregnant and give birth. Mom promises to take care of you throughout the whole process and never let you worry or get tired."

Chen Sisi dared not speak, and could only silently endure it, nodding as she pleased.

Perhaps because of the alcohol, Xu Hongying recalled past events, and her eyes became red.

“When I was young, my husband didn’t love me, and my mother-in-law didn’t care for me. I was almost due to give birth, and I went to the hospital alone. After giving birth, I had to do postpartum care all by myself… In the dead of winter, I even washed their diapers…”

"Don't worry, the rain that Mom got soaked in will never fall on your head..."

Shen Sisi never imagined that Xu Hongying had such a miserable life when she was young. She really didn't know why she was so determined to marry Gu Changhe and have three children.

"Mom, have you ever regretted it?" Shen Sisi asked in a low voice.

Xu Hongying sighed, "I regret it, but there's no going back. But I think... even if I went back to my teenage years, I'd probably still choose Lao Gu!"

Suddenly, after a moment of deep thought, everything became clear.

Xu Hongying stood in the wind back then, feeling lost as well.

Perhaps at that moment, her choice was the right one.

But who could have predicted whether they would marry a human or a ghost?

Chen Sisi looked at the shadows of the three people, which were stretched very long by the streetlights. Soon, a pile of gifts came into view.

Who put it in front of their house?
