1968: At the beginning, the beautiful sister-in-law came to borrow food! Chapter 146

“We’ll see in a bit. If it doesn’t work out, we’ll send some over to you!”

“Alright, that’s enough. Let’s head straight home!”

“Let’s get together again on the fifth day of the New Year!”

“I can’t see my wife before the wedding!”

“And I have to ‘hide from the stars’ on the fourth night!”

Mao Luzi looked at the long-unseen village, a smile on his face as he spoke to Li Yunfeng.

“What?”

“’Hide from the stars’?”

“What’s that for?”

Li Yunfeng asked Mao Luzi, a bit bewildered.

“Hahahaha, damn it!”

“Didn’t you mock others for ‘hiding from the stars’ back then?”

“How come it’s your turn to ‘hide from the stars’ now?”

“Brother Yunfeng, let me tell you!”

“Back then, when others in the village got married, according to our customs, you couldn’t see the stars the night before the wedding.”

“You had to stay in the room, close the doors and windows, and cover up everything.”

“Just stay cooped up in the house for a whole night.”

“Mao Luzi here was even mocking others for ‘hiding from the stars’ back then.”

“Who would’ve thought this kid would start ‘hiding from the stars’ himself now.”

At this point, Er Lengzi couldn’t help but burst into laughter.

“Just you wait, when I get married, I’m definitely not ‘hiding from the stars’!”

After saying that, Er Lengzi waved his hand at the two of them.

He pulled his sled and walked towards his own home.

Mao Luzi spat at Er Lengzi’s retreating back.

Then he and Li Yunfeng parted ways. Li Yunfeng, meanwhile, pulled the things on the sled towards his own home.

At this moment, inside Li Yunfeng’s house, the women were bustling about, incredibly busy.

Old Lady Li sat in front of the stove, helping to stoke the fire.

Li Xiulian was making dumplings with Mao Luzi’s two wives.

The remaining four women were cooking; some were stir-frying, some were helping to chop vegetables, and some were washing vegetables. It was a clear division of labor.

“Knock, knock, knock!”

“Knock, knock, knock!”

Li Yunfeng arrived at the doorstep and began knocking on the door.

It wouldn’t work now; they’d have to wait until spring to replace the windows with glass.

“Who is it?”

Li Xiulian, who was making dumplings and was closer to the door, directly opened it.

“Yunfeng!”

Seeing Li Yunfeng outside the door, Li Xiulian immediately shouted excitedly.

“Happy New Year, Happy New Year!”

“I’m back!”

Li Yunfeng shouted excitedly and immediately began moving things off the sled.

“Who?”

“Our man is back?”

“Honey!”

Hearing that Li Yunfeng was back, all the women rushed out excitedly.

“Get inside, get inside, it’s cold outside!”

Li Yunfeng said, moving the things from the sled into the house.

The things he bought included firewood, rice, oil, salt, and various canned goods, red sausages. Li Yunfeng also took out a lot of chickens, ducks, geese, and various eggs from his space.

He even took out some donkey meat, lamb, and pork.

And three weapons he had previously captured!

“Honey, are you alright?”

“Both Shi Tou and Tie Zhuzi have been buried.”

Li Yunfeng had just taken off his bearskin coat and hung it on the wall.

He had only been sitting by the fireplace for two seconds when Natasha pulled his hand and began examining him.

Seeing the bandage still on Li Yunfeng’s hand, she asked him with a worried look.

“I’m fine. I just got shot twice in my right arm and right leg.”

“I got two cuts on my back. I’ll be fine after two months of rest.”

“It won’t affect next year’s work. Mao Luzi’s right arm was shattered by the Russians.”

“He’ll probably need some time to recover too. Er Lengzi is better off.”

“He just got a cut on his chest!”

“Honey, have some dumpling soup first. We’ll eat soon.”

Li Yunfeng was just talking when Sophia walked over with a bowl of hot dumpling soup and handed it to him.

“Okay, we’ll eat later!”

“By the way, put those weapons I captured in the back room!!”

Li Yunfeng had captured two large broadswords and one spiked mace. Originally there were two spiked maces, but Mao Luzi had exchanged one.

“Yunfeng, you really are amazing!”

“I heard from that leader who delivered the stones that you might even get a medal of honor?”

Beside him, Li Xiulian’s alluring eyes were fixed on Li Yunfeng.

Her eyes were filled with longing.

Isn’t there an old saying?

Thirty like a wolf, forty like a tiger!

If she had remained widowed, it would have been one thing!

But ever since she had been with Li Yunfeng.

Li Yunfeng’s physical fitness made Li Xiulian deeply miss that feeling.

It had been over a month since they last saw each other, how could she not miss him?

“Oh, by the way, Yunfeng, I have good news for you!”

“Sister Shuhua is pregnant!”

Li Yunfeng was drinking dumpling soup when he heard Sophia mention Shuhua’s pregnancy.

“What?”

“Shuhua is pregnant?”

“Yes, Sister Shuhua is pregnant. She’s over three months along already.”

“Old Zhao’s family keeps wanting to take Sister Shuhua back now.”

“Now, among them, only Old Zhao the eldest has a son. The second, third, and fourth sons are all gone.”

“They think the child in Sister Shuhua’s belly is Old Zhao the third’s.”

“So they want to take Sister Shuhua back!”

“That’s impossible. With Old Zhao’s family being like that, they still want to take Shuhua back?”

“That’s impossible. Anyway, Sister Shuhua has been in the countryside for more than two days.”

“If it really doesn’t work out, we’ll send Sister Shuhua to my family’s side and have my parents find Sister Shuhua a job.”

Li Yunfeng went to the countryside because his family’s background was not good!

Someone in the family had to go to the countryside, so there was no way for Li Yunfeng to continue going to school.

Although there were universities at this time, only children of workers and peasants could attend them.

Children of small business owners and capitalists couldn’t get in.

“Don’t worry, I won’t go back.”

“This child has nothing to do with Old Zhao’s family!”

“You know, it was my first time when I was with you, brother.”

“That Old Zhao the third was completely drunk on his wedding night.”

“The next day he went up the mountain and came back crippled.”

Shuhua covered her belly and told Li Yunfeng her thoughts.

Anyway, Old Zhao the third was already dead, and there was no evidence to prove anything.

Besides, what kind of life did she have in Old Zhao’s family?

What kind of life did she have here?

With Old Lady Zhao’s unreasonable personality.

Going back now would only mean endless suffering!

“Dinner’s ready, dinner’s ready, let’s chat later!”

While they were talking, Natasha, Old Lady Li, and Mao Luzi’s two wives had already brought out the food.

“Look, eight dishes in total!”

“In previous years, being able to eat four dishes was already good.”

“This year, Old Lady, thanks to you, Yunfeng, I finally get to eat eight dishes!”
