"That's right, it's all her own fault." Feng Qiujuan said, "There's also good news about Xiaoxia."

Bai Ruozhen asked hurriedly, "Sister Xia, are you dating someone?"

Feng Qiujuan laughed, "What? Xiaoxia might be able to return to the city next year." Then she enviously said, "I really hope I can return to the city in the future."

Zhao Lai Di snorted, "It took several years for our village to get such a quota. We don't know when the next one will come." Although she said so, Zhao Lai Di also envied Zhu Guixia, but her envy was not enough. Zhao Lai Di and Feng Qiujuan were definitely the most capable among the educated youth. Because they were determined not to marry in the countryside, they worked very hard and diligently on weekdays. Now they finally got this opportunity after all the hardships.

"I hope everything goes well," Zhu Guixia said. "But I'm also uneasy about going back to the city. After all, my family isn't well off, and it's hard to find a job. I'm really worried that my brother and sister-in-law will dislike me for having to support someone idle at home for nothing."

Bai Ruozhen comforted him, "It's good that you can come back. You can look for a job slowly. It's okay to find a temporary job first."

Zhu Guixia smiled and said, "This is the only way. Returning to the city is the dream of us educated youth. Let's go back first and talk about it later."

A few of them chatted and laughed and imagined the future. At around nine o'clock in the evening, they all went to bed. Gu Changqing couldn't fall asleep in his small bed, so he got up and went to the bathroom and then wandered around the supermarket. Then he found that the supermarket had been updated. There were many New Year gift packages, and it seemed that they were specially prepared for him. There was no company name or production date on the packaging bag. It was simply tailor-made for him.

Gu Changqing was overjoyed. He rubbed his hands and planned to make more money in the provincial capital, otherwise he would be sorry for God's kindness to him.

Feeling better and sleeping soundly, Gu Changqing went home and fell asleep immediately. The next morning, he went to the supermarket to buy hot buns and hot soy milk for several female comrades.

The train arrived at the station at around seven o'clock. Everyone hurriedly picked up their luggage and got off the train. After finding their families, they said goodbye.

It was Li Qiulan who came to pick them up this time, but she was followed by Bai Ruoyun and Bai Lishan, who had grown much taller.

"It's good that you're back. Let's go home." Li Qiulan has obviously been doing well in the past six months and is in good spirits.

Bai Ruoyun and Bai Lishan each held Bai Ruozhen's arm and chattered about this. Gu Changqing and Li Qiulan walked behind with their things, talking about their farewell.

When they got home, Li Qiulan went to cook. After dinner, Li Qiulan pulled Bai Ruozhen into the inner room to talk, "Zhenzhen, why is your stomach still not moving?"

Having been asked this question many times in the past six months, Bai Ruozhen knew that everyone was asking why she hadn't conceived a child yet, so she told him about Gu Changqing's decision again.

"Look at me, you told me this before, and I forgot again." Li Qiulan smiled, "Although your son-in-law is really good to you, you will be nineteen after the New Year, so it's okay to have a child."

Bai Ruozhen nodded and said, "I also want to have a child soon." Bai Ruozhen was very excited when talking about the future. She was also looking forward to having a child who she didn't know whether to look like her or Gu Changqing, or maybe she could give birth to twins like her mother?

Li Qiulan paused and asked, "Any news about your grandmother's family?"

Bai Ruozhen shook his head. "Not yet. Brother Changqing hasn't been out much this year. I asked around in the northwest but couldn't find him. Maybe he's been assigned somewhere else."

This made Li Qiulan feel relieved. "I'm glad it's not the Northwest. It's too hard over there."

"Don't worry too much." Bai Ruozhen comforted.

Li Qiulan smiled and said, "It's okay. It's been so many years, who knows what it's become." She stood up and said, "Go out quickly."

After resting for a night at the Bai family, Gu Changqing started to go to the black market the next day. Li Qiulan and Bai Jiansheng pretended not to know about this. Gu Changqing would go out in the middle of the night and come back in the morning, with a happy look on his face every time he came back.

Bai Liqiang was jealous and secretly asked Gu Changqing, "Brother-in-law, I have a day off tomorrow too, can you take me to see it?"

Hearing this, Gu Changqing glanced at him and said, "Okay, but you have to listen to me. Do whatever I tell you to do."

"Okay. I promise to listen to you." Bai Liqiang said happily.

Gu Changqing hummed, "As long as you listen to me, I'll give you half of the money I make."

This was simply a blessing from heaven. Bai Liqiang had originally only intended to go and see for himself. If he could get three or five dollars, he would be satisfied. He did not expect his second brother-in-law to be so generous. Bai Liqiang excitedly bowed to him and said, "Thank you, brother-in-law."

So when they went out the next day, Gu Changqing handed him a big bag and said, "Carry the bag and follow me closely."

After the two of them left the house, Li Qiulan shook her head and said, "Little Gu is really something. He actually agreed to it. It would be troublesome if he didn't cause more trouble for him." She was very relieved about her son-in-law. After all, nothing had happened in several years. If something went wrong because of her son, she would be so sorry to the Gu family.

Bai Ruozhen wasn't worried. "It's okay. Brother Changqing will definitely know what's going on."

But she was very grateful in her heart. After all, she knew Gu Changqing's secret, so she was relieved when he went out to sell things. Gu Changqing was willing to bring Bai Liqiang with him, obviously wanting to help the Bai family. It seemed that she had to treat him better in the future.
