Chapter 1229: Chapter 1229: Return
Li Xue chuckled on the side, "Jing Chu, isn’t Shi Jing a bit too young?"
Jing Chu spread her hands, "Isn’t it? Even if Shi Jing was just three or five years younger than me, that would be fine, but he’s ten years younger. I’m afraid Shi Jing might look down on me then."
Li Xue laughed out loud. "I guess Shi Jing will be scared by you."
Lv Beiguang looked helplessly at his daughter. What kind of thinking is this?
There’s really no way. This topic can’t continue anymore.
"Let’s go to Aunt Wang’s house to get the keys."
Jing Chu laughed. Dad is avoiding the issue. But there’s plenty of time, no need to rush.
"Guodong, take Xue out to play."
"Alright, the two of us will go to the club."
"Go ahead, if you can’t get into the textile factory club, just mention my name. You should be able to get in."
Guodong nodded, "Jing Chu, do you want to come along?"
"I’m not going. I’ll accompany Dad to Aunt Wang’s house."
The young couple headed out.
"Dad, shall we check out the supply and marketing cooperative?"
"Sure, though at this time, there probably won’t be much left."
"Dad, it’s so early; Aunt Wang might not be at home, right? People are at work."
"Hmm, that’s fair, let’s go see Aunt She then."
"Dad, I remember when I was young, didn’t Aunt She like you?"
"Don’t talk nonsense, your Aunt She is living quite happily now. By the way, she had another baby girl."
"Aunt She’s really pretty, the little kid must be pretty too."
"She’s alright, the kid resembles your Uncle Wang."
"Oh no, not a beauty then."
"Nonsense, still quite cute." The father and daughter whispered and joked as Lv Beiguang rode a bicycle, carrying his daughter.
They arrived at the supply and marketing cooperative. After a round, they could only buy some eggs, but they were limited; one person could buy a maximum of five.
"Comrade, is Secretary She here?"
"You’re Secretary Lv, aren’t you? Secretary She is in the office."
"Thank you, comrade." Lv Beiguang never smiles when he talks, but even so, a handsome man is still a handsome man. He remains very attractive.
In such a small town, almost everyone knows each other, especially since Lv Beiguang often comes to the supply and marketing cooperative to find She Xiaoyun. So the shop assistants here have a fondness for this handsome guy.
The young ladies still have fantasies about Lv Beiguang, after all, he is really good-looking, though he’s older and has two children.
But he has a good job, looks good, his children are grown and not around. His conditions are much better than the average young man.
But Lv Beiguang never pays attention to any hints. He always keeps his eyes straight, making the girls feel very helpless.
Now, there are no bold ones, no one directly tells Lv Beiguang, so they all secretly admire him in their hearts.
Jing Chu noticed, so Dad is still so liked by the girls.
And they are all young girls, not much older than her.
But Dad indeed doesn’t have any feelings. He keeps his eyes straight, completely unmoved by the girls’ show of affection.
Really a waste of Dad’s good looks.
The two of them, carrying the eggs, went to the back to find She Xiaoyun.
Seeing them enter, She Xiaoyun stood up smilingly and grabbed Jing Chu’s hand, "Wow, this pretty girl really makes me envious just looking at her. Jing Chu, when did you get home?"
"Aunt She, I got off the train this morning.
Aunt She, you haven’t changed, still as pretty as ever."
"My Jing Chu can always say the right things. Sit down, I’ll get you something delicious."
Jing Chu held onto She Xiaoyun’s hand and didn’t let go, "No need, I’ve grown up, I don’t eat kids’ snacks."
"Grown up or not, you’re still a child in my eyes. Be good, I’ll get you some rice candy to eat, just came in today, it’s especially tasty."
Lv Beiguang was completely ignored, he was already used to it, so he just sat on the side by himself.
"Aunt She, really, there’s no need, I really don’t eat sweet things. I won’t stand on ceremony."
"Girls should eat more sweets, it’s good for them." In the end, the rice candy wasn’t brought, instead, a bowl of brown sugar water was made for Jing Chu.
"Jing Chu, how’s it going over there?"
"Aunt She, you can just tell by looking at me now.
At first, it was really tough. But after Aunt Jiang arrived, I was fine. Eating and drinking well every day, otherwise, I wouldn’t have grown so plump."
"Not chubby at all, just right. Too thin and there’s no blessing.
When is Aunt Jiang coming back?"
"Master Shang’s health isn’t good; at the Capital Hospital for a checkup, should return after a while."
"That naughty girl has been gone for so long and still hasn’t come back."
Jing Chu just smiled; she was a well-behaved child, never discussing others’ private matters.
"Jing Chu, Guodong is back too, right?"
"Yeah, my brother and sister-in-law went to the club to play."
"Lv Beiguang, you’re doing well now. Already have a daughter-in-law."
Lv Beiguang, being mentioned, just smiled. Indeed, he didn’t expect Guodong would find a partner first; he used to worry about Jing Chu finding a boyfriend early and getting married.
"Isn’t that right? I even suggested to my dad to come back with us, so he could help build a house for my brother, then he could wait to see grandkids.
But he just won’t agree. Aunt Jiang, we’ve all said, we can change the work assignment and sell the house, then our family wouldn’t have to be apart."
She Xiaoyun smiled, glanced at Lv Beiguang, this man was still the same.
"Jing Chu, as people get older, they become more reluctant to leave. It’s hard to leave one’s hometown, that’s what it means." She Xiaoyun could still understand Lv Beiguang.
"I can’t persuade my dad, Aunt Jiang should talk to him. My brother and I will definitely go to university in the future. There won’t be many chances to come back. We can’t rest easy with just Dad alone.
How great it would be if we could always be together."
"Your thoughts are right, but your dad has lived here for half his life. If he leaves, he will find it very hard to adapt,
you should understand your dad; it’s not easy for him."
This man is so indifferent, but he truly cares a lot about his two kids.
He once wanted to quit his job to live with the kids, but was persuaded not to by everyone.
Being middle-aged, everyone knows how hard it is to live in an unfamiliar environment.
Jing Chu also knows this. But she really wants to live with her father. She still can’t come back; actually, even if she could come back now, she wouldn’t want to.
Forget it, take it slowly. Actually, if Dad could settle down, she wouldn’t be so worried.
But living with Uncle Wei and Uncle Yang, seeing them live a loving life, she also hopes Dad can find such a partner. They too can live lovingly together.
"Jing Chu, is farm work over there tiring? Girls need to take it easy. Health is the most important thing."
