Chaoyang and Jing Chu circled the building and bought everything they needed.

"Jing Chu, let’s eat out."

"Hmm, I don’t want to eat at someone else’s place." When in the city, it’s either a restaurant or the Qiao Family’s place. I really don’t want to inconvenience others.

Chaoyang knew Jing Chu’s temper well. So the two went to a restaurant.

"Lv Zhiqing? Do you remember me?" Wu Chenyu did not expect to see Lv Jingchu in the city.

This incredibly beautiful girl had left a mark on his heart. After all, she really never glanced at him, which was quite discouraging.

Jing Chu frowned and glanced at the man talking to her.

"I don’t know you."

Chaoyang was still a bit tense, this man looked better than Guodong. He was just worried they might actually know each other.

"We’ve met a few times in the county."

Jing Chu didn’t bother to look up. Say whatever you want.

Chaoyang was completely relieved now. He couldn’t say he was totally paranoid, but whenever a man approached Jing Chu, he would feel anxious.

"What do you want to eat?"

"Just a bowl of noodles."

"Alright." Chaoyang cheerfully went to get the food.

Wu Yuchen didn’t feel embarrassed, though he felt rather uncomfortable inside.

She simply ignored him. Oh well, he didn’t really have any ulterior motives, just wanted to say a few words because she was pretty.

With a gentle smile on his face, he sat down and continued eating.

Chaoyang brought over two bowls of noodles, with two eggs in Jing Chu’s bowl. Then he went back for some pickled vegetables and three steamed buns.

Upon returning, he saw an egg in his own bowl, feeling thoroughly satisfied.

In the afternoon, the two went to the supply and marketing cooperative, bought a lot of seasonings, found the director, and purchased candy; it was needed for Xue’s wedding and also for their engagement.

Time flew by, and soon it was the twenty-ninth. Chaoyang set off to pick up the Li Family at five in the morning.

"Chaoyang, why so early? Sit down, I’ll buy the food."

"Brother, let me go instead."

"You stay put, buying the food is all I’m good for now."

Li Yunqiao also came out. "Why so early?"

"Woke up early, came over. Uncle, on the tenth, Jing Chu and I are getting engaged."

Li Yunqiao sat beside his nephew with a smile. "Getting your wish?"

Chaoyang nodded happily. Jing Chu agreeing felt like a delightful surprise.

Li Yunqiao patted his nephew’s shoulder. "Chaoyang, it doesn’t matter in our small place, but if you go somewhere big, you need to have the ability to protect your wife."

Chaoyang nodded, as his mentor had already told him this, considering how Jing Chu’s looks were truly captivating.

That’s why he was willing to leave her now and venture outside.

In the Capital with Han Xiangjun, he really learned a lot and met many people.

Someone was willing to give him a chance, and he must seize that opportunity and succeed.

Li Yunqiao watched his nephew, reassured and relieved.

The women then came out to greet Chaoyang.

Chaoyang held his little nephew and younger brother. The two kids were very comfortable with him.

By eight o’clock, the car was nearly filled with things to take over.

Li Yunqiao held his son and grandson in the front, while the three women sat in the back.

By the time they arrived at the Li Family Village, it was already past nine. It was the first visit for the two little ones, and their eyes couldn’t take in enough.

Today, Xiao Li didn’t go to work because the spring planting in the village had already ended, and there wasn’t much work left.

Upon hearing the commotion, she came out immediately.

She took over the two kids with a smile and invited the family inside.

Wang Menglin also came out. Now five months pregnant, her belly was bigger than others’, so she was thinking of having Chaoyang drive her to the city in the coming days.

Qu Xiaoli hoped for twins but didn’t dare say it out loud, for fear it would pressure her daughter-in-law.

After unloading the car, Chaoyang and Hong Lin set off. He still had to return the car and then head to the fields to find Jing Chu.

Li Yunqiao went to the brewery. Hong Lin stayed at home, worried something might happen later.

"Mom, I’m going to find Xue’er."

"No need, Xue’er and Guodong will be back soon."

Guodong took Xue out for a stroll.

Lu Fengzhen no longer cared; the child being born would still be younger than the stepdaughter’s child.

"Aunt, why is the village so lively today?"

"Today we’re slaughtering pigs. Your uncle decided to slaughter pigs and treat everyone after the spring planting. Plus, we need pigs for ourselves; they’re being slaughtered together today. Tomorrow we start preparing the meat stew."

"Aunt, is there any work at home?"

"No, go to the brigade to watch the excitement."

Hong Lin smiled, nodded, and took his son and younger brother outside.

The house was left with only women, making conversation much easier.

"Meng Lin, you’re having two, right?" The nephew’s wife was two months ahead, but her belly was much bigger.

"Aunt, I don’t know yet, planning to go to the city’s hospital to check soon."

"Hmm, you should check."

Actually, Doctor Liu and his wife had already diagnosed it as multiple pregnancies, hence the plan to go to the hospital for an ultrasound.

"Aunt, is there work?"

"Nothing right now. Pigs will be delivered in a while. The chickens are already slaughtered, and we’ll go net fishing tonight. We just need to wash the pig entrails in the afternoon."

"Then I’ll go watch the excitement too." Zheng Lihong felt uneasy; Zhibin was not young anymore, yet she hadn’t gotten pregnant again. She felt extremely anxious, especially seeing three pregnant women at home, which made her even more impatient.

No, she knew of a famous doctor in the village and decided to go see him.

She found Hong Lin, "Lihong, why are you anxious?"

Zheng Lihong glared at her husband. He wasn’t anxious, but she was worried why she hadn’t felt any movements yet?

"Alright, alright, wait a bit, I’ll go ask where the doctor is."

Hong Lin really wasn’t worried. Waiting until Zhibin started school before trying for another would be fine. However, the wife was anxious.

The couple took their child to find Liu Xuefa and explained their purpose.

Liu Xuefa roughly guessed the couple’s identity.

After checking Zheng Lihong’s pulse, he said, "There’s no major issue physically. You were hurt during childbirth, but it’s not problematic. Don’t be anxious, children will come eventually. Sometimes the more you worry, the less likely it will be."

The couple thanked the doctor, and Hong Lin reassured his wife, "Doctor said there’s no problem, don’t worry."

"Hmm, hearing the doctor say so puts my mind at ease."

"What’s there to worry about? We already have Zhibin."

"I know, but I envy those with kids."

"Fine, whatever makes you happy."

Actually, Zheng Lihong wanted to say that even the stepmother got pregnant again, yet she hadn’t. But saying that wouldn’t sound dignified, so she just claimed she liked kids.
