"When they returned, the port city had been completely transformed. A new governor had taken office and issued a series of decrees, the most important of which was to accelerate urban construction and provide more job opportunities for the people."
“The areas that were previously monopolized by gangs have been forcibly taken back by the government. The space for the four major gangs to survive and make profits has been squeezed to the extreme. The month before last, there were two large-scale actions against the government, and they fought back and forth with the Hong Kong police.”
"It's only a matter of time before they are completely suppressed."
Lin Xiaoxiao was somewhat puzzled.
As far as she knows, the port city did not undergo such changes in history; these policies and measures were implemented at least ten years earlier.
The exploitation of the people by gangs continued even 30 or 40 years later.
After Hong Kong's return to China, the SAR government and police have continuously improved laws and regulations and strengthened law enforcement.
She had some doubts, but Lin Xiaoxiao didn't think much of it.
It's a parallel world, so things will definitely be different. Maybe, with the flapping of butterfly wings, the port city will return to normal ahead of schedule.
After all, China's military capabilities have greatly improved, and with the support of advanced weapons, it is at least thirty years ahead of its predecessor.
In short, only when the country is strong can the people be happy.
The next day was An'an's full moon celebration, and both families got busy early in the morning.
Lin Xiaoxiao dressed An'an in a festive red outfit that Wen Shiyu had specially made for him, with little rabbits embroidered in gold thread, and put on a matching hat.
"My son is so cute." Lin Xiaoxiao looked at the newly born little guy and couldn't help but give him a kiss.
An'an babbled and gnawed on her little hand.
"Son, it's your day now."
As soon as Lin Xiaoxiao took the little one out, the elders took him away, so she didn't have to worry about him at all.
Among all the uncles, Luo Qingming is undoubtedly the center.
Who can blame him but An'an's maternal uncle? That's how much prestige he has.
"Wu Xuan and his wife can't come back, so they asked me to give An An two red envelopes. You must accept them." Second Aunt Wan Fen stuffed two large red envelopes into Lin Xiao Xiao's hands.
Lin Xiaoxiao was about to speak when she was cut off.
She could only accept it with a smile, "Brother and sister-in-law are so busy at the base, yet they still remember An'an. Thank you so much."
Wan Fen said reproachfully, "Why are you being so polite with us? It's only right."
The Chu family was quite generous this time, sending many fine gifts. Lin Xiaoxiao only opened some of them for a glance before immediately closing them, not daring to show them to others.
He Meng and Zhou Mingmei, who arrived early in the morning, stared in amazement at the piles of gifts in the living room.
The majority of the arrangements were made by Uncle, Wen Mo, and Wen Shiyu, giving their grandson a grand reception.
"Qin Xiaoshen, where's my godson? Let me see him!" Han Xiu followed Director Fan and his wife in. When he saw Qin Yushen, his eyes lit up and he exclaimed loudly.
Qin Yushen, who was talking to Chu Xiaonian and Han Ming, turned to look at him.
When he turned around, Han Xiu saw Han Ming, who had been blocked by him. His face darkened instantly, but he quickly returned to normal.
Today is his brother's son's one-month celebration, and he doesn't want to cause trouble.
Ignoring Han Ming, she walked over and put her arm around Qin Yushen's shoulder, her tone excited, "Quick, I can't wait to hug my godson."
Qin Yushen said goodbye to Chu Xiaonian and Han Ming, then pulled him away.
Han Ming took a sip of water, his eyelids drooping, making it impossible to see the emotions in his eyes.
Chu Xiaonian patted him on the shoulder and sighed, "I told you not to come, but you insisted on joining in the fun."
"This kid keeps avoiding me, there's nothing I can do." Han Ming looked a little dejected.
He knew that given the relationship between Han Xiu and Qin Yushen, Han Xiu would definitely attend Qin Yushen's son's full moon celebration. He wanted to have a good talk with Han Xiu, which is why he took the liberty of attending the celebration.
"Old Han, I'm not trying to be mean, but if you're not thinking straight, don't mess with that kid. You don't want him to do something that will ruin his future, do you?" Chu Xiaonian had worked with Han Ming for so many years and knew all too well the conflict between the father and son.
There's a scale in my heart too.
The biological son is alienated from his family and has left home.
They treat their adopted son like a treasure; what kind of nonsense is this?
Han Ming took another sip of water, the bitterness in his heart known only to himself. "Old Chu, what do you think I should do? Just because Xiu Mei burned Han Yu's belongings, Xiu Mei was pushed down by Han Xiu and lost her child. Isn't that enough of a price to pay? How long will Han Xiu continue to hate me?"
Xiumei even lost the right to be a mother.
In order not to affect Han Xiu, Han Ming kept the matter a secret and no rumors spread.
In his view, he had already done more than enough for Han Xiu.
Han Yu's body was barely cold when he married Xiu Mei, which was indeed wrong of him. However, he was busy with work and had no time to take care of Han Ling, who was still an infant, so he could only let Chen Xiu Mei stay. Later, he drank too much and took liberties with her, so he had no choice but to take responsibility.
His stepsons understood him, but his two biological sons, Han Xiu and Han Ling, treated him like an enemy.
Han Ming was also furious.
Chu Xiaonian glanced at him and said in a light tone, "Didn't you ever doubt that what Xiao Xiu said might be true? You're the only one who's been blinded."
Han Xiu said that his mother had a difficult childbirth because Chen Xiumei pushed her downstairs. Han Ming didn't believe him. He thought that Han Xiu was just saying this on purpose because Chen Xiumei burned Han Yu's belongings.
That's why Chu Xiaonian said Han Ming was confused and not thinking clearly.
It's ridiculous that he doesn't trust his own son but trusts a stranger.
Han Ming was stunned.
Chu Xiaonian patted his shoulder and said meaningfully, "Your current wife is quite cunning. If Hanyu was really pushed down the stairs and killed by her, Lao Han, will you have the face to see Hanyu after you die?"
After saying that, he went to Chu Weinian's place.
Han Ming was left standing alone in the corner.
His expression was dazed, and his eyes held a complex mix of emotions, including doubt and fear.
In the living room, Han Xiu held An'an and adored her for a long time, saying, "Qin Xiaoshen, where did you get such good fortune? You have a wife and child in your arms. I'm so envious of you."
Qin Yu raised an eyebrow, glanced at him indifferently, and said deliberately, "You can't be envious of that."
Hahahaha...
Seeing Han Xiu's constipated expression, everyone burst into laughter.
Lin Xiaoxiao laughed and leaned on Qin Yushen's shoulder, saying to Han Xiu, "Don't be envious, you and Xiao Qiqi can have as many children as you want in the future."
Speaking of this, Han Xiu became even more depressed.
He still hadn't heard when his girlfriend would be back. He gave her two more months. If she still hadn't returned by then, he went to the port city to arrest her.
"Xiao Xiu, come out for a second." Just as I was feeling annoyed, I heard Han Ming's voice.
Han Xiu's expression immediately turned cold.
He handed An'an to Qin Yushen, saying, "Hold my godson for me first."
Qin Yu glanced at Han Ming, then glared at Han Xiu with annoyance, emphasizing repeatedly, "Help you? This is my own son."
"Stop showing off, my stomach is already rumbling with acid." Han Xiu said with a sour look on his face.
