Li Xiyue carries her space and spiritual pet, transmigrating from the apocalypse to the 1970s.
Her birth mother died early, and her birth father remarried, turning into a stepfather. The only...
"grandfather!"
"Great grandfather!"
Chu Xingbang was surrounded by his grandchildren and great-grandchildren, and his head was getting so mad that he waved them away. "Stop arguing, it's giving me a headache...Second brother, where are my daughter-in-law and granddaughter-in-law?"
Other families like grandchildren and want grandchildren, but he is just the opposite. He gets a headache when he sees these brats.
Why don’t these disappointing children and grandchildren give him some well-behaved granddaughters and great-granddaughters?
"Dad, they heard that Axun brought his girlfriend home, so they went to buy her a gift. They'll come back later." Chu Ruihua replied and looked at his nephew, "Axun, why don't you introduce her to us?"
Chu Xun pulled Li Xiyue up and said, "Second uncle, cousins, this is my girlfriend, Li Xiyue."
"Wow!" The cousins' eyes lit up.
"Axun, where did you find such a fairy-like partner?"
"Yeah, she's so pretty, isn't she?"
"It's a good match for Axun."
"A match made in heaven."
"Our Axun has such good taste."
Everyone started praising the product, and the room was bustling with activity.
Chu Xun looked at his cousins and said, "Yueyue is timid, don't scare him."
Everyone became more restrained in their conversation.
Chu Xun introduced them one by one, "Yueyue, this is my second uncle, this is my eldest cousin..."
With Chu Xun's introduction, Li Xiyue knew the identities of the men in this room.
Chu Xingbang and his deceased grandmother Chu had five sons, namely Chu Ruian, Chu Ruihua, Chu Ruizhong, Chu Ruiguo, and Chu Ruilin.
Except for Chu Xun's father, each of the five brothers had two or three sons.
However, not many of them survived. The others either died for their country or died young due to lack of support.
The Chu brothers had three sons, but only the eldest son, Chu Zhou, is still alive. One of the sons died, and one was lost when he was a child.
The eldest aunt of the Chu family passed away due to illness a few years ago.
As the eldest son and grandson, and the only surviving son of the first wife, Chu Zhou did not choose to join the army, but chose to go into politics. He is now the director of the municipal department.
His wife is Fang Fang, who also works as a clerk in the municipal department.
They had a pair of twin sons, only thirteen years old, and named them Chu Ping and Chu An.
There are more people in the second room, and the work they do is more diverse.
The second wife and her husband had two sons, the eldest son Chu Jiang and the second son Chu He, who died in the line of duty.
The second uncle of the Chu family is the commander-in-chief of the military region.
My second aunt is the director of the military region’s art troupe.
Chu Jiang is the deputy director of the Public Security Bureau.
He is only in his thirties, and he was able to become the deputy director because of his ability. A few years ago, he was still a small police captain. He went on a mission with his younger brother who was also a police officer. The two brothers directly destroyed a drug trafficking den, arrested countless drug dealers, and seized a huge amount of drugs, making great contributions.
However, his younger brother also died in that mission. Because of this achievement, he was promoted to deputy director of the Public Security Bureau.
His wife, Su Yirou, is a researcher at the Chinese Academy of Sciences.
The couple has two sons, the eldest son Chu Ping is ten years old, and the younger son Chu An is eight years old, both of whom are in school.
There are relatively few people in the third house. Both Mr. and Mrs. Chu died, and their eldest son Chu Bo also died.
Only the youngest son, Chu Tao, is still alive. He is the head of the military region’s drug procurement department.
His wife, Lin Min, works in the drug testing department.
The couple also had two sons, the eldest son Chu Jian was seven years old and the younger son Chu Kang was five years old.
My fourth aunt from the fourth room is still alive. Her name is Guan Sixian and she is the director of teaching at the Workers, Peasants and Soldiers University.
The eldest son, Chu Yong, is a teacher at the Workers, Peasants and Soldiers University.
My daughter-in-law, Lu Shishi, is also a teacher.
The couple had a son, only four years old, named Chu Wen.
The second son of the fourth wife also died in infancy.
Li Xiyue had a good memory. After Chu Xun introduced them once, she remembered everyone and greeted them one by one.
Men don't pay as much attention to rituals as women, but they also express their feelings by simply giving red envelopes. Li Xiyue received a lot of red envelopes.
Just after receiving the red envelopes, the aunts and sisters-in-law came back. When they saw Li Xiyue, they were all amazed.
"Axun, I used to think you were clueless, but now I know you have high standards."
"Yeah, where did you find a fairy-like girl?"
"Don't mention Axun, I like everyone I see."
"Who is so lucky to have such a beautiful daughter? I'm afraid you won't be able to find another one even if you search with a lantern."
"Axun, you have to treat me well. If you dare to bully me, I will be the first one to not let you go."
Aunts and cousins praised Li Xiyue one after another, making her look like a clown.
Then came the part of receiving gifts. Li Xiyue's hands were stuffed full. She couldn't help but sigh that a family with many children is always lively. With such a big family standing there, who would dare to bully them?
If you add in-laws, it would be a huge family.
Chu Xun is the only unmarried grandchildren. Considering his previous image, he finally brought a partner home this time, and the whole family doted on Li Xiyue to no end.
Especially since Chu Xingbang had spoken in front of everyone, saying that he would turn against anyone who dared to upset Li Xiyue, his future granddaughter-in-law, no one dared to neglect Li Xiyue anymore.
The other grandchildren's wives were not jealous. Chu Xingbang, the head of the family, was not interested in his sons and grandchildren, but he was very good to his daughters-in-law and grandchildren's wives. They had been favored in the past, so they were not jealous of Li Xiyue's attention. Instead, they felt that it was their due.
The children and grandchildren dared not to object, as their old man had always favored girls over boys, and they were used to it.
But we can't blame the old man for being partial. Scarcity makes things valuable. It was the Chu family's fault for ruining their son's life. They lost all their sons and their only grandchild, a daughter.
In the old man’s words, having too many sons is worthless.
Chu Xingbang sat on Li Xiyue's left and Chu Xun sat on her right. The grandfather and grandson protected her like a treasure.
Although Chu Xingbang said he was annoyed, he was actually happy that his children and grandchildren came back to see him.
With four generations living under the same roof and children and grandchildren around, which old person wouldn’t be happy?
Everyone discussed Li Xiyue’s birthday tomorrow. Originally, they planned to go out to a restaurant to celebrate, but now they couldn’t have a big celebration, so they just had dinner at home.
But the Chu family's tradition is that men cook, and none of the women know how to cook, so several cousins volunteered to help Aunt Tian cook.
Li Xiyue felt her heart soften as she listened to everyone arranging her birthday party.
It is said that a woman should consider the other party's family before getting married. With the family atmosphere of the Chu family, she is not worried at all about being wronged after marrying into the family.
Although, she couldn't let herself be wronged.
Feeling everyone's love and care for her, she was actually looking forward to joining this big family.
