Rebirth in the 60s: A Path to Counterattack-Chapter 376. Arrive in Beijing, pick up from the airport, full of emotions
The answer, of course, is no.
To motivate him to work hard and strive for success, Lian En and his siblings are diligently making efforts.
Even though Lian En is busy with the art exhibition, Chenchen and Xinzhi are about to report to Qing University.
Disciplining Lian Xi is something that has never been relaxed in the slightest.
Close monitoring (Xinyue, Xinqing) + remote supervision (Lian En, Chenchen, and Xinzhi taking turns calling) are proceeding together.
If his efforts are not enough, causing his already gradually improving grades to slip back down.
Haha, his second brother’s naturally sharp tongue will certainly have to be given extra spice, and if he doesn’t get criticized until people feel sorry for him, this matter won’t be considered settled!
As for Lian Xi, he would rather be beaten up by his parents and elder brother as a mixed team than be verbally poisoned by his second brother’s words that are as toxic.
Having dealt with the eager-to-follow Lian Xi and agreed to Xinqing’s demands, which would surely fill several pages.
Lianshan and Shuzhen, carrying Lian Li, boarded a flight to Beijing with Chenchen, Xinzhi, and Old Yang, who insisted on accompanying his apprentice to school.
Yes, this time, the six of them did not take the train or drive, they flew directly.
Old Yang, who doesn’t mind spending money to spare a little hardship, said, "I’m living one less day each day, without any concerns, just thinking about living as comfortably as I can. Trains are too slow, driving is tiring and troublesome, it’s better to spend a little more for a plane! Same amount of time, arrive sooner, maybe I can help Lian En with something. You don’t need to worry about the money, I’ll cover it all!"
Lianshan frowned, but considering that the old man was of a senior age and high rank, otherwise he would’ve just given him a chuckle.
For their own daughter’s education, as parents, to come send them off but not even willing to spend on a plane ticket and have to make the teacher pay, does this make any sense?
Really, their family isn’t short of money!
Flying is flying, treat it as a rare new experience during the journey.
Lianshan thought as he swiftly bought the plane tickets, though he hadn’t yet realized that Old Yang, who was clamoring about flying, would actually experience airsickness.
He was full of spirit when they boarded, but by the time they landed, he was wilted like a withered eggplant.
Distressed, Lianshan mischievously thought of asking how the old man would return, and if he’d fly again?
Although over the years gifts exchanged frequently, everyone was busy, so there weren’t many chances to meet sincerely.
Finally, when Shuzhen and her husband arrived in Beijing, Wei Lai, Wu Hao, Feng Anhuai, and Jiang Shengnan and her husband all hurried over to greet them.
They were longing for a reunion, to chat and catch up properly.
If possible, whisking them away to their own home, bypassing Old Wu, would be the best option.
However, times have changed, and in recent years, Shuzhen has bought quite a bit of real estate in Beijing. There are truly more than just one or two places to stay.
Besides, Lian En and Feng Ju had come several days earlier and had, of course, arranged all the family accommodations perfectly.
Just as they were about to start offering the typical hospitality, Lian En hurriedly arrived.
He said his mentor Feng Ju had found a chef specializing in Huaiyang cuisine, and many good dishes had been prepared at home.
Old Mr. Wu, Old Mr. Jiang and Uncle Dong Shu were all waiting at home, so they should hurry and head there together.
"Look at this, I was supposed to start off by hosting everyone to experience the gourmet of Beijing. In the end, I didn’t manage to be the host but got entertained instead," sighed Wei Lai, having spent significant effort persuading the stubborn old Wu, only to have Feng Ju cunningly swoop in and steal the thunder. He found it both amusing and endearing.
"It’s not about who hosts, we’re friends! What’s important is having the time and place to catch up on all the years we’ve missed out on," Lianshan grinned sheepishly, smoothing things over as always.
"That’s true, huh? Seems like the days spent stationed in the Liu family village were only yesterday, yet in the blink of an eye, a good ten-plus years have flown by," mused Old Yang, increasingly feeling justified in pretending to be sick back then, hitching on the idea of camping and riding with Lianshan and them!
You see, they hadn’t suffered much despite those tumultuous times and occasionally enjoyed some wild game meals.
When Shuzhen and Shouren successively became the team leaders, the standard of living drastically improved.
In hindsight, his shamelessness back then not only ensured stability during turmoil but even secured a dependable old age!
Recalling his good apprentice’s meticulous care throughout, even now solicitously supporting him lest he suffer discomfort, Old Yang could not be more content.
Once eager to end it all during the hard times, now he felt like he could continue enjoying this good life for another hundred years without wearying.
Old Yang’s words stirred many emotions, and everyone agreed that being able to return unscathed and live this happy life today owed a great deal to the support of Shuzhen, her husband, and Liu Shouren, the Liu team leader.
Even Jiang Shengnan clutched Shuzhen’s hand, repeatedly expressing gratitude, saying it was thanks to the couple’s warm assistance back then.
Otherwise, she feared her grandfather would have long perished in that storm, leaving her and her husband with a lifelong regret.
Faced with Jiang Shengnan’s behavior of expressing gratitude and sentiment every time they met, Shuzhen could only helplessly smile and change the topic, shifting directly to their children.
However, as soon as the topic was broached, it once again drew everyone’s admiration and congratulations.
"A young painter, renowned nationwide. Truly gifted twins, high achievers from Qing University, and Chenchen, at such a young age, has started her own company becoming a boss. 𝘧𝓇ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝘣𝓃ℴ𝓋𝑒𝑙.𝑐𝘰𝑚
In total, they’ve raised three adult children, one-half have achieved great success.
Tsk tsk, you two have not only mastered nurturing quality seeds but are also quite adept at cultivating talents!" Dong Shu adjusted his glasses, praising them with admiration.
"Indeed, it’s as if you won’t leave any room for other people’s children to excel!" Jiang Shengnan nodded, smiling lively, "Every time I think of your children, my palms itch. Wanting to line up my three and give them a spanking to see if any talent would emerge under the stick!"
"Alas, it’s all about genetics, why complicate things for the kids? Both parents aren’t scholarly, yet you insist the kids march along that path!" Wu Hao shook his head, not grasping Jiang Shengnan’s regretful mindset: "As for me, I never press our two mischievous lads to excel.
Just planning to find them smart wives one day, solving the problem at its root.
So, Shuzhen, my eldest is about the same age as your Xinqing, why not consider becoming in-laws?"
Before Shuzhen could react, Lianshan, who was all smiles a moment ago, immediately darkened his face: "My daughter will never marry, so you’d better abandon that thought!"
