Chapter 158
158 Pei Xuanxin’s Struggle
Zhao Xiu was wiping the table with a handkerchief. When she heard her man call her, she wiped the last dirty spot on the table before walking over.
At this moment, Li Shun walked in with Guan Dongshan and Guan Kang.
Zhao Xiu found the person standing beside her man a little familiar, but she did not recognize him for a moment.
“Haha, look, my wife didn’t recognize you either!” Li Shun said with a smile when he saw Zhao Xiu’s obvious stunned expression.
Guan Dongshan looked at Zhao Xiu and greeted her with a smile.
“Long time no see!”
As soon as she heard this voice, Zhao Xiu immediately recognized who it was.
“Guan Dongshan, it’s you! You’re back?”
With that, Zhao Xiu looked at the child Guan Dongshan was holding.
It had to be said that Guan Kang and Guan Dongshan looked very alike. They were simply two peas in a pod.
“Is this your child with He Hui?” Zhao Xiu asked again.
Guan Dongshan smiled and nodded, then touched his son’s head again.
“Kang’er, call her Third Aunt!”
“Hello, Third Aunt!” Guan Kang greeted obediently.
“Kang’er, be good! Come, follow me. Sit down and rest first! I saw that you guys rushed back. I’ll cook two bowls of sliced noodles first!” Zhao Xiu said warmly.
“That’s right! We can go back after eating a bowl of noodles! Anyway, it’s close to home. After we’re full, I can bring the child back to see his mother!” Li Shun also persuaded.
On the other side, Li Xiaoran had already heard the small talk between her parents and Guan Dongshan. Naturally, she had already cooked the knife-cut noodles.
As soon as the Guan family sat down, two bowls of sliced noodles and two bowls of bone soup were delivered.
“Uncle Guan, Xiao Kang, eat the noodles!” Li Xiaoran said with a smile.
Guan Dongshan looked at Li Xiaoran and immediately remembered.
“You must be Xiaoran! You’re already so old! Time really flies by. When we first met, Xiaoran was a baby! In the blink of an eye, she’s already a big girl!”
“Not only is she a grown woman, but she’s also married! Something happened, but let’s talk about it later. Hurry up and eat your noodles! Go back and see your wife later. It hasn’t been easy for her to be alone in the village all these years!” Zhao Xiu thought of something and said.
“I came back because I wanted to reunite with my family,” Guan Dongshan said, thinking of something.
“Alright, hurry up and eat. We have plenty of time to catch up in the future!” Li Shun urged.
Guan Dongshan smiled and thanked him before eating noodles with Guan Kang.
It had to be said that the knife-cut noodles tasted very good. Guan Kang, who usually did not eat much, had actually eaten a bowl of knife-cut noodles today.
After eating and drinking his fill, Guan Dongshan wanted to pay, but Li Shun stopped him.
“What money? Do you think I’m your brother? Back then, our family had a difficult life and you even helped us a lot. Now, it’s just two bowls of noodles. How can I accept your money?! Hurry up and put it back. Bring the child back to the family for a reunion!”
Seeing that Li Shun insisted on not accepting the money, Guan Dongshan could only thank him with a smile and bring the child back to see his wife.
Watching the father and son leave, Li Shun and Zhao Xiu smiled happily.
Zhao Xiu thought of something and said, “The wait is finally over! Although that child looks a little weak, he’s still in good health. He should be fine!”
Li Shun thought for a moment and said, “It should be fine. Otherwise, Guan Dongshan wouldn’t have brought the child back!”
At the same time, the news that Guan Dongshan had returned with a child spread throughout the village.
At this moment, everyone in the village was discussing and guessing the background of this child.
Wang Ying was shocked when she heard that Guan Dongshan had brought a child back.
After asking about this matter, Wang Ying quickly rushed home with a basin of clothes.
“Husband, something big has happened!” Wang Ying shouted as soon as she returned home.
Li Qiang, who was resting under the roof, heard his woman’s shout and looked over curiously.
“What happened that made you so impatient?”
“You don’t know, but not long ago, Guan Dongshan came back with a child!” Wang Ying panted slightly and said.
As soon as he said this, Li Qiang stood up.
“What did you say?”
“I said that Guan Dongshan brought a child back to the village just now!” Wang Ying repeated.
Li Yan, who was sewing clothes in the room, heard her parents’ conversation outside and immediately smiled.
Sure enough, the heavens were helping her.
Guan Dongshan had indeed returned with a child, like in her previous life.
This time, her parents would definitely believe her dream!
Outside, Li Qiang and Wang Ying widened their eyes. After calming down from their surprise, their gazes landed on the house where Li Yan lived.
At this moment, these words appeared in both their minds.
Their daughter’s dreams were real!
Thinking of this, Li Qiang smiled.
If everything in the dream was true, wouldn’t they have a good life in the future as long as their daughter married that scholar called Pei Xuanxin?
At this moment, Pei Xuanxin, who Li Qiang and Li Yan were thinking about, also arrived at Hele Village.
After returning, Pei Xuanxin kept thinking about what had happened in the cave.
It had to be said that once a man experienced sex, he would always think about sex.
After some hesitation, Pei Xuanxin told his mother that he liked Li Yan.
Pei Xuanxin’s mother also knew that she did not have much time left. It would naturally be best if she could see her son get married before she died.
However, Pei Xuanxin’s mother was very worried.
With their current situation, was Li Yan really willing to marry over?
Even if the girl was willing, would the Li family be willing?
“Mother, I promised her that I would propose marriage in the next few days, so I have to go no matter what!” Pei Xuanxin said.
When Mrs. Pei heard her son’s words, she thought for a moment and took out a silver hairpin from her pillow.
“Since you’ve already thought it through, take this silver hairpin and propose marriage!”
Pei Xuanxin looked at the silver hairpin and shook his head. “Mother, there’s no need. This is what Father gave you. Keep it! I have a way to propose!”
With that, Pei Xuanxin asked the woman next door to take care of his mother before turning around and leaving the house.
To be honest, Pei Xuanxin was not confident.
At the thought that Li Yan was already his, Pei Xuanxin felt that he had to be more responsible.
