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

Chapter 994 What a wonderful child, why isn't he a member of the Liu family?
Qiu Shaofeng was lucky; when he arrived at the backyard, the fire hadn't been extinguished yet.

He offered the person a cigarette, and the person reciprocated by doing him a favor.

He brought the heated meal into the ward: "Xia Qiu, eat it while it's hot."

Then, as if remembering something, she asked, "By the way, has your milk come in yet?"

Xia Qiu shook her head and said, "Not yet, but it does feel bloated."

Upon hearing this, Qiu's mother said, "That's good, that's good. Once you've had this hot meal, Junjun's rations will surely arrive soon."

Xia Qiu, who had just become a mother, was still a little embarrassed.

She took the lunchbox from Qiu Shaofeng and quickly started eating, hoping that her milk would come in sooner.

While eating and playing with her child, Qiu's mother suddenly looked up at Qiu Shaofeng and asked, "Your great-grandmother is doing well, isn't she?"

Qiu Shaofeng nodded gently: "Yes, after learning that Xia Qiu had given birth to a son, he was so happy that he laughed until tears streamed down his face."

Upon hearing this, Qiu's mother glared at her eldest son. She knew perfectly well why her grandmother had tears in her eyes. It was because she had seen the family's prosperity. After all, her grandmother had lost her husband early and only had one son. Now, the Qiu family was thriving, and she was overjoyed.

Looking up at his eldest son, he said, "Go back to the team early tomorrow morning and borrow a handcart to pick up your wife and son. We're not in a hurry. As long as we can get back before noon, that's fine. If we leave too early, it will be too cold, and I'm afraid your wife and son won't be able to handle it."

Qiu Shaofeng nodded: "I understand. I'll have Shaomei come with me then."

After saying that, she ran to see her son: "Son."

As the group chatted casually, Liu Laoqi arrived at the ward door: "Oh, eating?"

Mrs. Qiu had just finished eating, and when she saw people coming, she quickly got up to greet them while shoveling the last few bites from her bowl into her mouth: "Seventh Grandfather, come in and sit down." Old Seven Liu waved his hand and said: "I won't go in. Keep this brown sugar safe and make it for Xia Qiu to drink later."

Xia Qiu was touched. After all, they had severed ties with the Liu family and reconnected with the Xiao family. And now, Grandpa Qi had come all the way to give her brown sugar: "Grandpa Qi, thank you. You've gone to so much trouble."

Looking at Xia Qiu's expression, Liu Laoqi could roughly guess what she was thinking: "Even if you are not of the Liu bloodline, you have still called me Seventh Grandfather for so many years. What, now that you've acknowledged your biological grandfather's family, you don't acknowledge me as your grandfather anymore?"

Xia Qiu quickly waved her hand: "Seventh Grandpa, I didn't. You will always be my Seventh Grandpa."

Seeing that her eyes were red with anxiety, Liu Laoqi dared not say anything more: "Alright, Grandpa knows you are all good people. This is Grandpa's heartfelt wish. Just accept it."

Qiu Shaofeng stepped forward and accepted it, saying, "Thank you, Seventh Grandpa."

After delivering the goods, Liu Laoqi waved his hand and said, "I won't disturb you any longer. I also need to go and keep watch at the gatehouse."

He waved his hand, turned around, and walked away with his hands behind his back.

Even after walking a distance, Liu Laoqi muttered to himself, "What a wonderful family, what wonderful children, why aren't they members of the Liu family? What a pity."

Shan Liang, who had previously changed his name to Xiao Changsheng in the village, had taken good care of him, since his own son was too far away from home, and even if he wanted to, he didn't have the means.

The year he returned to the village, the firewood his family used for the winter was all gathered by this distant nephew. So even though they weren't members of the Liu family, they were still considered juniors by Liu Laoqi.

Since his granddaughter had given birth, he naturally had to send something to express his feelings.

Meanwhile, in the ward, Qiu's mother watched Liu Laoqi's retreating figure and said, "From now on, you must treat him with respect, do you hear me?"
