Reborn with a Space: Building a Fortune Amidst Famine-Chapter 1153: Satisfied

The next day, Huang Xiaoqing woke up feeling sticky.

She whispered to her husband that she wanted to take a shower.

Da Biao had already been up for two hours. The stove and the big oven were both on, and the house was still quite warm. So, he didn’t object. After preparing bathwater for his wife, he was shooed out.

He smiled and warmed up food for her, since she missed breakfast.

It seems we should prepare some food at home. So, the wife won’t be hungry with nothing to eat.

After both of them tidied up, they drove back to the city.

The Huang couple was anxiously waiting at home.

Only after finally seeing their daughter and son-in-law get out of the car did the couple feel relieved.

The mother, being attentive, felt joyous seeing her daughter. As long as the young couple is in love, it’s all good.

The Huang family had some relatives, and for this homecoming, they prepared four tables, including colleagues of the three family members.

All the relatives and friends sincerely congratulated the young couple.

Da Biao, being the most mild-mannered among them, got along well with the Huang family’s relatives and friends.

Mr. Huang was pleased. He had no son, but he had a capable son-in-law. Watching them now, he’s sure they can uphold the family.

Mr. Huang felt he can now stand tall from now on. Not having a son has been a lifelong pain, but not anymore; he can live with pride now.

Though not many attended the homecoming banquet, it was still lively.

Everyone knew that the Huang family’s son-in-law was a capable man. Although no one was fawning, they still wanted to maintain good relationships.

Da Biao amiably chatted and joked with everyone, without any airs, making Huang family’s relatives and friends regard him and the Huang family more highly.

The homecoming banquet didn’t end until after two o’clock. Da Biao helped out and also got to know the neighbors around.

Some people sighed, thinking the Huang family would be different from now on.

Even though all three of them were teachers, in this era, having no son was looked down upon.

Now, their son-in-law was even more accomplished than a son, and the Huang family would only have good connections from now on.

It was after three when the family of four finally sat down, and everyone was quite tired for the day.

Huang Xiaoqing was even more exhausted. Mrs. Huang felt sorry for her daughter and told the young couple to return to their room to rest.

Seeing his wife fall asleep as soon as she lay down, Da Biao went out to clean the yard. "Mom and Dad, go inside and rest, I’ll finish up soon, you must be tired today too."

The Huang couple listened to their son-in-law and felt very comforted, again grateful they hadn’t refused; otherwise, where could they find such a good son-in-law?

The couple returned to the garrison that night since Huang Xiaoqing had recovered. She only had a three-day holiday and needed to return by Tuesday.

Early Monday morning, Daqing came looking for Sun Lizhen, and they planned to submit their reports today.

No one would stand in the way of such matters, and the hospital had approved Sun Lizhen’s transfer application. Such opportunities are enviable.

The two only met briefly in the morning and set the plan to register the next day.

Daqing felt relieved. When Da Biao got married, he felt nothing initially, but seeing Da Biao’s proud demeanor these past few days, he grew envious.

By this time, Chengzi and Li Xiaoyu were already out of the civil affairs bureau.

Li Xiaoyu looked at the marriage certificate in her hand with great joy.

Her expression delighted Chengzi. What man wouldn’t be happy that his wife was pleased with him?

"Do you still have to go to class?"

Li Xiaoyu nodded with a smile, "Yes, I have to." It’s her job. Besides, she wanted to save her leave for the wedding days.

Chengzi drove her to school, then went to work himself.

The sister-in-law now had the elder brother accompanying her throughout, making him quite free for the time being.

All the office secretaries congratulated Chengzi. Though they knew he was about to be transferred, he would still be responsible for the minister’s safety afterward and continue working together.

Moreover, Chengzi was very easygoing, so they had no conflicts working together.

"Chengzi, you have to treat us."

"No problem. I’ll treat everyone to dinner when everyone is on holiday. Right now, it’s hard to gather everyone together, but during the holiday, it’ll be easier."

Indeed, with so much work now, there’s hardly any chance at the year’s end.

"You’re getting married on the twentieth of the first month, so we might have time to join the fun then," Secretary Xu said with a smile.

"I have to return to the garrison, so it might not be realistic, but there will definitely be people going with the minister."

At that moment, a young secretary came over to deliver files, and they found themselves with no time again.

This year, Su Yuanyuan didn’t have much work. Lu Chengmin took care of her, and she’d already been informed in the morning that she had to go to the leadership for lunch today.

It had been a long time since they had all dined together. At noon, Tan Shaoting came to pick up his wife.

A group of people saw the couple so in love, and there was no one not envious.

They were young once, too, but never as loving as them. Truly, such love is enviable.

Xu Guozhi watched He Yuanhao, feeling anxious, but there was nothing he could do without someone he fancied.

With Su Yuanyuan setting the standard so high, indeed, no woman could catch his eye. How could someone so smart not understand this?

A few people chatted and laughed together, not solely about work, and of course, some gossip as well.

"Xiao Su, you’re not going out for New Year’s this year, right?" Zheng Wenqiang asked with a smile.

Su Yuanyuan nodded, "With the way things are, father and son won’t allow me to leave. Spending the New Year at home with the family is quite nice too."

"On the third day of the New Year, come to my house for dinner. Your aunt has always wanted to meet you."

Su Yuanyuan smiled, "Then, sorry for the disturbance."

Lu Chengmin also smiled, "Then come to my house on the fourth day."

Su Yuanyuan nodded with a smile, "That will be nice."

He Yuanhao had just returned. Having gone out three times at the end of the year, he was left with nothing due to his pride and arrogance.

He finally understood why someone like Su Yuanyuan would participate in such work.

He used to be silent, but never as silent as he was now.

Everyone present could understand. How could a young and proud man feel happy being constrained outside?

But reality is like that. He Yuanhao put down his chopsticks.

"Minister Su, I want to attend the meeting with you next year, to gain some experience."

Su Yuanyuan smiled, "Minister He, you’re overthinking it. We’re on equal footing."

He Yuanhao shook his head, "We’re not the same. Even though we haven’t gone out together, I know you’re definitely better than me."

Su Yuanyuan suddenly turned serious, "Minister He, I’m really not better than you. I’m just reckless and have offended many outside."

"But still, many people ask about you."

"That’s because of sudden changes. Next year, when you attend, it won’t be that way anymore."
