Now that their son is back, they are overjoyed.
"It's good that you're back, it's good that you're back."
Hou Pinxuan found a job as a gatekeeper and lived a simple life, relying on his pension and subsidies to take good care of his parents.
Xiaoli's flower shop is doing very well. She used to run a flower shop before and is very familiar with the process.
After carefully renovating her flower shop, she still aimed for a high-end, boutique approach.
Rare and exotic flowers are no problem for Xiao Li.
Potted plants and landscaping products are Xiaoli's main products.
She spent a very long time in ancient times, so she could directly copy and then make slight modifications according to her own perspective, which made the work very flavorful.
After several years of operation, everyone in Chiayi City knows that there is a very unique flower shop here.
Even the black market has exotic flowers and plants that have leaked from flower shops.
Obtaining flowers from Xiaoli Flower Shop has become a new form of social status among the upper class.
Hou Yihua had excellent grades and was particularly interested in biology. After graduation, he entered the research institute and became a national academician.
Hou Yiqin, however, developed an interest in Sanda (Chinese kickboxing). She has been very dedicated to martial arts since she started practicing, and her skills have surpassed those of her brother. She has already won several martial arts championships.
This year she will represent the national team at the Olympics. She has even infiltrated a mysterious ancient martial arts alliance and become a high-ranking member of the alliance.
Xiao Li then realized that ancient martial arts existed in this world, but many families had already declined.
When she learned that the Ancient Martial Arts Alliance was actually being secretly operated by the government, she took out many secret manuals and had her daughter hand them over to the government, as well as share them with some promising young talents with good character.
Years later, both children had their own families, and Xiaoli had had enough fun. Under the blooming osmanthus tree, she peacefully passed away.

Zhen Li lived in a fishing village and was an excellent diver from a young age. Everyone called her Black Pearl, which was considered the most precious thing in the village, and she was very proud of it.
She always had the biggest catch when going to the beach, and all the children in the village considered her their leader.
Soon after, a military unit stationed on the island arrived. Among them was a soldier named Xiao Wu, who was very handsome.
She attracted the attention of all the girls on the island, including Zhen Li, of course.
Zhen Li was very bold. She confessed her feelings to Xiao Wu, but Xiao Wu told her that the military had regulations that prohibited her from dating people on the island while serving in the military.
Her friends all told her that boys like fair-skinned and pretty girls.
Zhen Li began to take care of her skin and gradually became unwilling to go swimming or go on blind dates, which greatly worried her parents.
All her friends have found partners one after another, but she is still waiting for Xiao Wu.
Because of her dark skin, she used to be called "Black Pearl," a name she hated the most.
One day I accidentally heard that pearls can whiten the skin.
So she dived into the deep sea to find the biggest and brightest pearl.
On this trip, she discovered a secret: many people were lurking on an unknown island.
The island was heavily guarded and even armed; these people were clearly not ordinary.
She secretly observed and was surprised to find Xiao Wu among them. In her panic, she revealed her weakness.
During the chase, Xiao Wu was seriously injured.
Xiao Wu helped Zhen Li escape from the island and handed her the intelligence wrapped in brown paper, telling her that he had always liked her very much.
It was only because of military regulations that I deeply buried my love for it.
Overwhelmed with grief, Zhen Li wanted to die with Xiao Wu, but Xiao Wu stopped her, telling her that they must complete the mission.
After saying those words, Xiao Wu died.
Zhen Li escaped the island; she was going to deliver the intelligence her lover had given her to the military.
Back on the island, her superior told her that Xiao Wu was actually their undercover agent.
The people on that island are spies. Xiao Wu has already infiltrated the spy center, but unfortunately, this mission failed.
Zhen Li was heartbroken beyond words. She blamed herself for being too reckless, but her lover was already dead. She decided to join the army and complete the mission her lover had not finished.
She wanted to avenge Xiao Wu.
The information Xiao Wu gave her was a defense deployment map.
Research revealed that there was a weakly defended area on the island, but the location was quite rugged and could only be accessed by diving.
This requires someone who is good at swimming to dive down and plant explosives to blow up that area of defenses.
Zhen Li accepted the mission, intending to complete it even at the cost of her own life.
As she detonated the explosives, she was shouting in her heart, "Xiao Wu, I'm coming!"
But she suddenly noticed that Xiao Wu was smiling smugly at her, sitting with the head of the secret service.
She looked behind her and saw that all the soldiers who had come with her were inside the encirclement.
Xiao Wu laughed arrogantly, "Thank you so much, Li."
Zhen Li suddenly realized that Xiao Wu really was an undercover agent, but he was an undercover agent for the secret service.
The mission was a complete failure; all the officers and soldiers who came with them were killed.
The soldiers and villagers in the fishing village were also massacred.
Zhen Li felt deep regret; she shouldn't have let love blind her.
She recalled Xiao Wu's inconsistent attitude towards her.
She thought of going to find pearls, which was something Xiao Wu mentioned unintentionally.
She recalled the moment before Xiao Wu died, when she smelled blood and suddenly felt disoriented.
There were flaws everywhere, but I was blind to them.
He ruined everyone's life.
It harmed the officers and soldiers, their families, and their friends.
If she could do it all over again, she wouldn't like Xiao Wu anymore. She would protect her family, her people, and all the lovely people in the world.

Xiao Li opened her eyes and was surprised to find herself in the deep sea.
The fisherwomen have special lungs. They are trained from a young age to dive into the deep sea and not need to come up for air for more than ten minutes.
Xiao Li could also do it, but she had just arrived and wasn't familiar with her body yet, so she took out a water-repelling bead.
Instantly, an invisible layer of energy isolated her from the seawater, allowing her to breathe normally. She received the memories under a huge underwater coral reef.
At this time, the original owner went to the deep sea to search for pearls, and the small island not far from here was full of spies.
Xiao Li quietly approached the small island from underwater.
There were indeed many people busy on the island. On the rocks of the small island, a man was holding binoculars and looking around.
Xiao Li recognized him at a glance; it was Xiao Wu.
"Why haven't they arrived yet? Did they go somewhere else?"
He was speaking an island language, which Xiaoli had learned in the modern world, so she could understand it.
Xiao Li felt it was all orchestrated by Xiao Wu himself. Although she already knew it from her memory, seeing it with her own eyes still made her grit her teeth.
This person is so evil. Not only did he deceive the original owner's feelings, but he also used her to destroy the entire fishing village, making the original owner bear a heavy burden of guilt.
