At this moment, Chen Gang suddenly spoke up, "Dad, I'd like to ride my bicycle to the Chen family home to get my and my wife's luggage, is that alright?"
"Okay, the bicycle is right there in the yard, feel free to ride it."
"Okay, thank you, Dad."
Chen Gang excitedly pushed his bicycle out the door and rode quickly towards the Chen family home.
"Feng'er, come back to the study with me first."
"good."
When the two returned to the study, Li's father stared at Li Feng and asked directly, "Do you plan to acknowledge your biological parents?"
Have you already contacted them? And even arranged jobs for them?
Seeing his father's serious expression, Li Feng honestly replied, "I did arrange jobs for them, but I didn't acknowledge them as family."
I only consider you family. You can do whatever you want with the Chen family.
"Good, this is what the Li family should be like. We should be willing to give up what needs to be given up."
When Li's mother returned from grocery shopping, she went to the room to call He Hua out to help.
"He Hua, come out and help with the cooking."
He Hua was lying in bed, fantasizing about her future happy life, when she was interrupted by Li's mother.
She was a little annoyed and said in a weak voice, "Mom, I feel a little unwell and I'm lying down to rest."
What should I do? I can't help you. Am I useless?
"Alright, if you're not feeling well, just lie down. I'll do it myself."
Furious, Li's mother went straight into the kitchen and quickly started cooking.
He Hua felt happy when she heard that there was no sound outside the door.
Hmph, that old hag wants her to cook? Instead of thinking about her being pregnant and letting her rest, she's making her get up to cook?
Shouldn't we treat her like a goddess? Serve her the best food and drink? Cook for her? That's just wishful thinking.
When Chen Gang arrived at the Chen family's house by bicycle, the family had not yet come home from get off work.
He stood in the courtyard and glanced at the home he had lived in since childhood.
He felt no reluctance whatsoever. No one in the Chen family had treated him well, so why should he still linger?
Thinking about all this, he hurriedly picked up his and He Hua's clothes and stuffed them into his bag, leaving nothing behind.
"Dad, we have a bicycle at home. Who brought it back?"
"Just go inside and you'll see."
As Chen's father and Chen Jin entered the house, they ran into Chen Gang, who was carrying his luggage.
"Third brother, where did you get the bicycle? Where are you going with your luggage?"
Chen Jin looked at Chen Gang and was about to touch the car when Chen Gang pushed him away.
"We didn't go anywhere. We're not staying at home anymore, so you don't need to call us to cook anymore."
"Hey, third brother, what kind of attitude is that? How can you talk like that?"
Chen Gang ignored them and sped away on his bicycle.
"Dad, look at our third son, he's gotten too big for his britches. Has he hooked up with someone? He even has a car now."
"Hmph, ignore him, he won't be arrogant for long," Mr. Chen said with a gloomy face.
"You go and cook first, I'll rest for a bit."
"Dad, I'm tired too. I want to rest. Let's save the food for Mom to cook."
Mr. Chen said nothing more, and the father and son went back to their room together.
When Chen Gang arrived at the Li family's house, Li's mother was setting out the meal.
"Gang'er, you're back. Go call your wife out, we can eat now."
"Okay, Grandpa, I'll go now."
Chen Gang went into the room and shook He Hua awake. "Dinner's ready, He Hua."
"Is it time to eat? So soon. Come on, let's go out now."
He Hua pulled Chen Gang to sit at the dining table. She saw that there was only one dish on the table: scrambled eggs with tomatoes, pumpkin, green vegetables, and an egg drop soup. There were no other dishes.
"Mom, why is there no meat? It's all vegetables."
"No meat? No meat. Take it or leave it."
Li's mother disliked He Hua and retorted angrily.
Old Master Li couldn't stand it anymore and asked, "Chunlan, we eat meat from time to time, why not this time?"
"Didn't I tell you to buy more groceries to celebrate Gang'er's return to the Li family? Besides, his wife is pregnant and needs to eat well."
"Yes, Dad, I understand. I was too late today, the meat was sold out. I'll go earlier tomorrow and buy some more."
"Alright, let's just eat this and buy more tomorrow," said Mr. Li.
Li Feng remained silent, quietly picking at his food. He was growing increasingly displeased with Chen Gang and his wife.
He needs to find a way to drive them out of the Li family. He is the only son of the Li family. What is Chen Gang? How dare he try to take it from him?
Although the Li family members were eating together, they all harbored their own thoughts and ill intentions.
After dinner, Li's mother wanted to ask He Hua to wash the dishes, but when she saw that Grandpa Li was there, she chickened out.
He Hua pulled Chen Gang along, chatting with Grandpa Li. The couple teased Grandpa Li, and their laughter could be heard from time to time in the main room.
Mr. Li sighed, saying that recognizing his biological son was the best decision he ever made. Look how happy he is!
Seeing their happy atmosphere, Li Feng felt resentful. Couldn't he make his grandfather happy too?
He always looks serious when he talks to his grandfather. Why does he laugh so loudly at them, but keep a straight face at himself?
Hmph, he'll go and marry a wife too. Zhang Xiaoya, right? Once he marries Zhang Xiaoya and takes their place, what will become of that couple?
After washing the dishes, Li's mother came out and saw the scene. She cursed inwardly, "Hypocrite! He's so happy with just a few words."
They want to seize Feng'er's family fortune? No way!
Su Tian's home is much simpler and warmer. She now cooks dinner for her parents, making them happy and they look several years younger.
Aside from staying in her apartment, she spends her time with her grandparents.
Su Tian had been back in Guangdong Province for seven or eight days, while Song Zhe, thousands of miles away, had traveled for two days from neighboring Yunnan Province to reach Qinzhou Town in order to see her as soon as possible.
He entered his courtyard, travel-worn, and opened the door to his room with anticipation, intending to take a cold shower before heading to Songjia Village to find Su Tian.
Unfortunately, his expectations were not met.
He saw a piece of paper on the table, picked it up and glanced at it.
The note read: Song Zhe! I came to see you on January 5th. I originally planned to see you before returning to Guangdong Province.
It's a pity I didn't see you; you went on a mission.
By the time you come back, I'll probably already be in Guangdong Province.
I miss you, Su Tian!
January 5, 1974!
Song Zhe stared at the note, sitting in his chair in a daze, motionless.
He felt that his biggest mistake was not getting Su Tian's home phone number, nor had he given her his own camp's phone number; otherwise, he would have gone directly from Yunnan Province to Guangdong Province.
After thinking for a while, Song Zhe decided to go to Guangdong Province to find Su Tian, as he was eager to see her.
He quickly got up, grabbed his clothes, and went to take a shower, without even eating dinner.
After showering and changing his clothes, he immediately lay down on the bed, thinking about giving Su Tian a surprise when he arrived in Guangdong Province.
