The Bai family was busy all day long preparing the banquet for Bai Xi. Everyone was exhausted, but their faces were filled with happy smiles.

Bai's mother looked at Bai Xi and his wife happily, and the stone in her heart finally fell. She thought of her four children. The eldest child is now married and has children. The second child has already become a father. The third child's child got married today and will have grandchildren soon. Even the fourth child has become a mother. She sighed: "The children have grown up. Time flies!"

At night, Bai Zhizhi dragged her tired body back to the room, she lay on the bed, the scene of the wedding in the daytime kept emerging in her mind. She knew that from this moment on, the life of the third brother would change dramatically, and he would bear more responsibilities and obligations.

At this time, Bai's mother came in and saw Bai Zhizhi's thoughtful look. She said distressedly: "You must be very tired today?" She gently hugged Bai Zhizhi and comforted her: "Don't think too much, everything will be fine." Bai Zhizhi nodded and said to Bai's mother: "Mom, I'm fine, I just feel a little emotional."

Bai's mother stroked Bai Zhizhi's hair with a smile and said gently, "Silly child, you have to learn to accept every change in life. Your third brother is married now, so you may have fewer opportunities to meet in the future, but this does not mean that the relationship between you will fade. As long as you care about each other, even if you are not together often, your hearts are still closely connected."

Bai Zhizhi listened to her mother's words and gradually became cheerful. She knew that no matter what difficulties she encountered in the future, her family would always be her strongest support. At this moment, she only hoped that her third brother and sister-in-law could continue to be happy and create a beautiful future for them together.

Bai Zhizhi nodded obediently, "Mom, you are the ones who work the hardest. Not only do you have to entertain these relatives and friends, but my eldest brother, second brother, and sisters-in-law also have to help in the kitchen. Even during mealtimes, they have to serve the guests. In comparison, my tiredness is nothing. And seeing my third brother getting married, I am happy for him from the bottom of my heart."

Bai's mother smiled gently, "Silly child, as long as you can be happy, it's worth it no matter how hard and tired we are. But having said that, you and Xiao Lu will be as happy as your brother in the future."

Bai Zhizhi looked at her mother firmly and nodded vigorously, "Well, don't worry, mother. I believe that Xiao Lu and I will live a happy life!"

The mother and daughter hugged each other tightly, as if all the fatigue at this moment disappeared. Then, Bai's mother gently kissed the three cute babies, then stood up and said good night to Bai Zhizhi, then turned and left the room and went back to rest. After all, they had been busy since early in the morning and everyone was very tired.

After seeing her mother off, Bai Zhizhi gently closed the door and then entered the space with the children. She played happily with the children in the space for a long time until the little ones were very sleepy, and then she slowly coaxed them to sleep.

Finally, Bai Zhizhi hugged her three babies tightly, feeling their soft breath, her heart filled with longing and expectation for a better life in the future.

It was past seven in the morning on January 1972, 1. The sun had already risen, but the temperature was still cold. Bai Zhizhi probably slept for too long in the system space, so she got up very early this morning. She was wearing a thick cotton jacket and walked out of the room while yawning.

When she came to the main room, she found that the rest of the family had not woken up yet. So she decided to heat up the leftovers from yesterday so that everyone could have a hot breakfast when they got up. Although the weather was cold, she was worried that if she didn't deal with the leftovers in time, they might go bad.

Bai Zhizhi walked into the kitchen, opened the pot, poured the leftovers in, and stir-fried them to heat them up. After a while, the food gave off a fragrant smell. At this time, Bai's mother and the Bai brothers got up one after another and walked out of the room. They smelled the fragrance coming from the kitchen and walked to the kitchen to prepare for breakfast.

Bai Zhizhi felt very relieved as she watched her family members come out of the room one by one. She smiled and said to Bai's mother, "Mom, I have heated up the food. Everyone can eat!" Bai's mother nodded, then walked to the cupboard in the kitchen, took out the bowls and chopsticks, and prepared to have breakfast.

Although the weather outside is cold, rural people still have to work every day. They need to go to the fields to sow spring rice and water and fertilize regularly in the following days to ensure that the crops grow healthily.

Bai Zhizhi and her family sat around the dining table, eating a steaming hot breakfast with relish. Bai's mother suddenly seemed to remember something and asked Bai Zhizhi, "Zhizhi, when are you going to leave here?"

Bai Zhizhi smiled and said to her mother, "Mom, I'm going to go back in the next few days. Otherwise, Lu Chuan won't have regular meals, which will upset his stomach. So I plan to ride my bicycle to the county to buy tickets this morning. Is there anything you need me to buy? I can bring it back."

When Mrs. Bai heard that Bai Zhizhi was going to the county, she hurriedly said, "Little sister, I just happen to need your help to buy something. I'll go into the house to get the money for you." Then she stood up and walked into the house.

When Bai Zhizhi heard this, she hurriedly stopped Sister Bai and said with a smile, "Sister-in-law, don't be anxious. What do you want me to bring back? It's not too late to give me the money when I come back." She didn't want her sister-in-law to go and get the money in such a hurry. It was not a big deal anyway.

When Mrs. Bai heard her sister-in-law say that she was not in a hurry to go back to the house to get the money, she was a little confused, but she did not stop. She turned her head slightly and gave her husband a look, indicating that he should go to the house to get the money. Brother Bai saw his wife's eyes, nodded knowingly, and then turned around silently and went back to the house to get the money.

This money is actually the pocket money that Bai's mother leaves for each daughter-in-law after the village distributes money every New Year. This not only avoids family conflicts caused by money problems, but also ensures the normal operation of the family, so Bai's wife thinks this arrangement is very reasonable.

Mrs. Bai watched her husband go back to the house to get the money, and then she said to her sister-in-law, "Zhizhi, go to the department store and help buy two boxes of vanishing cream and five feet of cloth. I only have two cloth coupons here. If we don't have enough cloth coupons, you can help us first, and I will give you the money when I come back. Zhizhi, is this okay with you?"

After hearing this, Bai Zhizhi smiled and nodded, indicating her agreement. After all, this amount of money was not much for Bai Zhizhi, and she had a lot of cloth in her space. If she really encountered a situation where she did not have enough cloth coupons, she could still take some out of her space to use. If that really didn't work, she could also find an automatic loom in the space mall, and then she only needed to search on Baidu on how to make cloth to solve this problem.

I will discuss this with Lu Chuan when I return to Province G. After all, grain, sugar, and cloth are all very valuable these days. I can sell the goods two or three times and then stop. In two years, the "Four Major Gangs" will fall, and the time for reform and opening up will be here.

At this time, Bai Ersao saw that her eldest sister-in-law asked her younger sister-in-law to help buy things, and she felt that there was nothing to buy. She originally wanted to buy candy or cakes for the children at home, but when her younger sister-in-law and younger uncle came back, they brought a lot of candy and cakes, soap, and perfumed soap. Her younger sister-in-law brought back a few pieces of these half a month ago. She even brought 10 packages of toothpaste used by rich families to the family. Her younger sister-in-law said that these were foreign products from Beijing Province, and they could only be bought with foreign exchange bills and Chinese currency. Her family didn't have much to buy, such as clothes and pants. Her younger sister-in-law had sent cloth before, which was enough for the family, so she didn't say anything.

Bai Zhizhi asked her second and third sister-in-law again: "Second sister-in-law, third sister-in-law, is there anything you want me to bring?" Her voice was clear and pleasant, with a hint of anticipation and curiosity.

At this time, Brother Bai had already taken out the money. He handed the money to Mrs. Bai and asked with concern: "Wife, what do you want to buy? It depends on whether you have enough money." His eyes revealed his concern and love for Mrs. Bai.

However, Mrs. Bai didn't want to pay attention to Mr. Bai. After taking the money from Mr. Bai, she quickly counted out two big unity notes, handed them to Bai Zhizhi, and said, "Zhizhi, sister-in-law will give you two big unity notes first. If it is still not enough, you can help to fill it up, and I will give you more money when you come back." Her tone was firm and decisive, and she seemed to trust Bai Zhizhi very much.

Bai Zhizhi took the money with a smile, secretly glad that she took it first, otherwise Bai Ersao might be unhappy later. She knew the family situation and everyone needed money, so she also understood Bai Dasao's approach. She thought to herself that this time when she went to the county town, she must buy good things for everyone to make them satisfied.

Bai Ersao just thought of those things and shook her head and said, "No."

At this time, Bai's third sister-in-law Lin Wen also spoke up and said, "No, Zhizhi, your brother and I went to the county two days ago and bought everything. We will go back to H Province the day after tomorrow. When you have time, bring the triplets and brother-in-law to visit me in H Province. We have a lot of seafood there, and it's super cheap."

Bai Zhizhi heard her third sister-in-law say that there were a lot of seafood to eat in H Province. She used to love eating seafood the most, but most of it had to be shipped back from abroad, and the ones in China were not as delicious as those abroad.

I quickly agreed, "Okay, sister-in-law, I'll go over and take a look when I'm free. Since you don't want to buy anything, I'll go over there. Mom, the triplets will wake up around 8 o'clock. You can help take a look at them then, and help change their diapers. They need to have their diapers changed when they wake up in the morning. The diapers are in the luggage bag next to the bedside table. After they are changed, you can feed them egg custard and malted milk. After they finish drinking, they can play with Zihao and the others."

"Okay, don't worry, these little things can't bother me!" the old lady answered happily.

Bai Zhizhi felt more at ease when she saw this. Thinking that time waits for no one, she hurriedly packed up and prepared to go out. On the other side, the old lady started to get busy. She first went to the kitchen to prepare breakfast for the triplets, and then started to clean the room.

Seeing Bai Zhizhi's happy face, the family also felt very relieved.

Everyone agreed, and Lu Chuan carried the triplets out of the room and placed them in their cribs. This crib was exactly the same as the one in Province A, and it was a bed that Lu Chuan made specifically for the triplets.

1972年1月14日上午10:13分富裕县

Bai Zhizhi rode her bicycle all the way here, feeling the sea breeze.

After everything was ready, Bai Zhizhi hurriedly left home and headed for the county. Along the way, she was in a particularly good mood, because this "one-day tour in the county" made her look forward to it very much, because she hadn't visited the county for a long time.

When she arrived in the town, she found that there were more people here than usual, and everyone had a smile on their face, which made her realize that today might be some important festival.

After walking around the market, Bai Zhizhi didn't find what she wanted, but she didn't get discouraged and continued looking.

Then, she rode her bike to the post office, parked her bike aside, and took out a small piece of paper with Lu Chuan's office phone number clearly written on it. She dialed the number and waited for the other party to answer.

"Hello, Zhizhi, what's the matter?" Lu Chuan's familiar voice came from the other end of the phone.

"It's nothing, I just missed you. Let me tell you, we are planning to go back tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, and you have to pick us up at the station." Bai Zhizhi said softly, with a hint of anticipation in her tone.

"Really? That's great! I miss you and the children, too. Are you doing well in City C? Are the children crying?" Lu Chuan's voice was full of concern.

"We are all fine. Our family members take good care of us and the children are also well behaved. They didn't cry or make a fuss." Bai Zhizhi replied with a smile.

"That's good. I was worried that you wouldn't be used to being outside. By the way, are you and the kids having fun over there?"

"Well, we had a lot of fun. The scenery here is beautiful and the air is fresh. The children especially liked it."

"Haha, that's good. My work here is almost finished, and when you come back, I will be able to spend time with you."

"Okay, then you should take care of yourself and don't get too tired." Bai Zhizhi advised gently.

"I know, my dear wife. You should also take good care of yourself and the children." Lu Chuan responded with a smile.

The two chatted for a while, sharing each other's daily lives. Finally, they said good night to each other and hung up the phone.

"I know. You have to take good care of yourself and the children. Once you buy the tickets, send me a telegram or call me to tell me the exact time you will get off the train so that I can calculate the time it will take to arrive at the G Province Railway Station."

The two chatted about some trivial matters, then said good night to each other and hung up the phone. After paying the phone bill, Bai Zhizhi walked out of the post office, got on her bicycle and continued on her way to the department store.

She wandered around the department store for a while and bought four bottles of vanishing cream and three bottles of liquor. Among them, the more expensive and collectible sorghum liquor was limited in purchase, so she only bought one bottle, which was a gift for her father.

As for other things, Bai Zhizhi did not buy them, but planned to take them out from the space warehouse when she returned home later.

Then, she went to the place in the county that specialized in selling train tickets (there were specially designated ticket offices in the city).

After buying the ticket, Bai Zhizhi went to the post office. When she called, she told the other party directly that she was taking out the things she had just bought from the space warehouse and the things she had taken from the space. She hung them all on the table. Because the car was crooked all the way back home, Bai Zhizhi put all the things on the table.

He handed the things for his three sisters-in-law one by one, then went back to his room to sleep, waiting for them to wake him up for dinner later.

Bai Zhizhi, lying on the bed, was filled with happiness and expectation. She believed that their family's future would be even better.

After a while, the meal was ready and Bai's mother woke Bai Zhizhi up. Then everyone sat together to eat and chat. Bai Zhizhi told her family about her experience of going to the county town today.

After dinner, Bai Zhizhi took the triplets to play in the yard and enjoyed a good time.

In this way, the day passed quickly and Bai Zhizhi spent a fulfilling and happy day.
