1970s: A hot-tempered wife who accompanied a soldier to the military compound and made a fortune.

Chapter 811 Thankfully, he's still alive; I'm already very content.

Zhao Lamei walked around the yard. The house was bigger than the one they built in Willow Village. There were five main rooms, two rooms each in the east and west wings, and nearly three-tenths of an acre of land in the back, which could be used to grow vegetables. There was also a toilet in the northwest corner.

I took a look into the kitchen and saw that they've already connected the tap water and even fixed the plumbing, connecting it directly to the street's drainage system. It's so convenient!

I discussed it with Xiao Changsheng: the easternmost room in the main house is for the old man, and he is welcome to come and stay at any time. The next room is for the couple. The middle room is for the living room, the next room is for Chuxue, and the westernmost room is for Chunxiao.

One room in the west wing was reserved for Xia Qiu to stay at her parents' home for a while, and the other room was reserved for Du Juan's niece.

Grandpa Xiao knew about his second daughter-in-law's arrangements, and he couldn't hide the smile on his face.

Looking at his second daughter-in-law's still-not-veiled belly, he thought that if this child was a boy, she would be at peace when she met Chunyi in the afterlife.

The old man didn't stay long, worried that his son and daughter-in-law would feel uncomfortable: "I'll go back first today. Once you're settled, go explore the surrounding area and get used to things as soon as possible."

After the old man left, Xiao Changsheng and Chunxiao tidied up all the things they had brought before saying, "Lamei, have Chunxiao cook you some simple meals. I'm going to the steel mill to find Chuxue and have her come over to familiarize herself with the place."

Zhao Lamei readily agreed: "Yes, yes, tell her to come back."

Looking at the house, she felt a little unreal. She never expected that their lives would change so much in less than a year.

After leaving, Grandpa Xiao returned to the compound and went into his study. He carefully took out the photo from the drawer and said, "Chunyi, I have finally brought my son back. Although he has suffered a lot, he is still alive. I am very content."

When Miao Yiqiu returned, she casually asked, "Has the old man come back yet?"

The nanny assigned to the family by the organization said, "He's back, but the leader went into his study as soon as he got back and hasn't come out yet." After saying that, she went back to the kitchen to prepare dinner.

Miao Yiqiu took off her coat and hung it up before going to the study door. She knocked lightly and said, "I'm coming in."

Miao Yiqiu has been married to Xiao Yude for many years, and she only goes into the study when the old man is home. Once the old man is not home, she never goes near the study, and no one else in the family is allowed to enter his study.

Xiao Yude was awakened by the knocking on the door. He looked at the photo in his hand, sighed softly, and then carefully put it away: "Come in."

Miao Yiqiu didn't go to her cousin's grandson's one-month celebration today. Actually, she wanted to give the old man more time to spend alone with his newly adopted second son's family.

Pushing open the door, I went in: "Is everything settled over there?"

Grandpa Xiao pointed to the chair opposite him: "Everything was already packed up before. They just need to put away their things when they come over today."

Miao Yiqiu asked with a smile, "Why did you come back so early? Didn't you stay and have dinner with them?"

Thinking of his second son's simple-minded appearance, Old Master Xiao couldn't help but smile: "If I stay there, their family will feel a little uncomfortable. I think there's plenty of time, so I'll wait until they've settled down and we can get to know each other slowly."

Miao Yiqiu smiled and nodded: "That's right. They've come from the countryside, so it'll probably take them a while to adjust. When we have free time, we should go over and wander around more often. Over time, they'll get used to our presence."

"You're thinking the same thing as me. By the way, did you go and explain to your cousin today?"
