Time Travel: Conditional Wealth

After many days of travel, the group of four finally returned to Beijing.

In September, other places have cool and crisp autumn weather, but the northernmost part is the first to enter winter.

The warm sunshine always makes people feel lazy involuntarily, but some people are different.

The Lu family in Beijing waited outside the villa early, hoping that their eldest son would return and bring back news about their youngest son.

The sun was already high in the sky. Wen Ya was dressed in simple and neat clothes. She was anxious because she didn't see her eldest son coming back. "Why haven't they come back yet?"

Lu Ming patiently comforted his wife: "Don't worry, the journey is long, and they need to take a short rest if they are tired."

"I... just want to know about Jin'an's situation. He has only been here for a few years, and few people who go to the countryside have a good life."

Lu Ming didn't dare to refute his wife. In fact, Lu Jinan had only been in the countryside for more than a month. In less than two months, two letters were not a small number.

Wen Ya is Lu Jinan's mother. Her voice is soft and gentle, a typical voice of a Jiangnan woman, and it is because of this that she holds her husband firmly in her hands.

As the military jeep's whistle sounded, the couple turned and looked towards the door at the same time.

Lu Ming's voice was a little impatient: "You bastard, you made your mother wait for you for so long."

Lu Yunshen held back and said, "Yes, my wife is a treasure and my son is a weed. I deserve to be tired."

Lu Ming glared at his son and threatened him, while Wen Ya urged everyone to go inside and rest.

He Zhien had not originally planned to come. He felt that it was not a good idea for him to come here to build relationships, and he was also afraid that other people would say things about him, and his current achievements would be attributed to the support of others.

But he couldn't resist Lu Yunshen's persuasion and he was extremely nervous now.

After returning home, facing Wen Ya's multiple questions, Lu Yunshen directly said that Lu Jinan was living a comfortable life, his childhood sweetheart took good care of him, he had little work to do, and it was already winter.

"Well, He Xi is pretty." Wen Ya sat on the sofa and looked at the color photos of He Xi and Lu Jinan, thinking: "I thought there would be twists and turns, but I didn't expect them to get along well."

He Yunshen would occasionally interject, "It's your son who's clinging to others, but they don't seem to care that much about him."

Wen Ya smiled and Lu Yunshen didn't understand.

Lu Jinan's price was too high, and most people who were interested in him cared about their family background. However, the other party was neither hot nor cold towards him, which meant that he was not interested in his family background, or he was a smart person.

He Zhien, who was standing by, did not share the harmonious atmosphere with the mother and son. He answered all of Lu Ming's questions carefully and seriously, as if he was reporting on work, but he was extremely nervous inside.

Wen Ya couldn't bear to watch it any longer and interrupted Lu Ming: "Old Lu, you are too serious. You make the child nervous. If someone doesn't know, they might think he has done something wrong."

"Really?" Lu Ming looked at the reserved He Zhien, "That's because he hasn't practiced it yet."

Wen Ya patted Lu Ming's shoulder and said, "Let's go and see what delicious food our future daughter-in-law has brought us."

When introducing the characteristics of her hometown, He Zhien was quite calm: "This is a unique Arctic blueberry that can withstand the severe cold of minus 50 degrees Celsius. It can adjust vision, improve fatigue, and has anti-oxidation and anti-aging effects."

The last sentence touched Wen Ya's heart. No woman is not afraid of aging. Everyone wants to delay aging. Lu Ming saw his wife's thoughts and said, "Send a telegram to Lu Jinan and mail some back."

Lu Yunshen stopped his father from going crazy just in time: "Dad, go down, the fruits have fallen. This is the most popular batch, there are many people but few fruits, so there are already quite a few."

He Zhien breathed a sigh of relief. He could imagine He Xi getting mad. Fortunately...

Wen Ya exclaimed: "Wow, these hazelnuts are so big, I have never seen them before. And these..."

At this time, Grandpa Lu and Grandma came back. They had gone out to meet friends early in the morning. When they saw the house full of delicious food, they were more serious than surprised: "Who sent this?"

Wen Ya put down the things in her hand and said with a smile: "This is a gift from Jin An's childhood sweetheart, but it's not cheap. The little girl is too serious."

The old man's expression softened a bit: "Well, I thought it was a gift from someone, thinking I would be homeless when I got old."

"Dad." Wen Ya looked at the unfamiliar can, "I know the rules, don't worry."

Lu Ming also comforted his father, saying that Grandpa Lu's worries were not unreasonable, as any disturbance was enough to cause huge winds and waves.

Grandpa Lu and Grandma Lu spoke for He Zhien with a smile, but in his eyes it became another kind of punishment, which was very painful. He was so timid that he dared not breathe.

Dinner was cod stewed with tofu, fried black fungus, air-dried sausage slices, etc. The wine was of course Yageda fruit wine, a homemade fine product.

"Tsk, good wine." Grandpa Lu commented readily.

"As long as you like it." He Zhien is a bit of a bootlicker now.

"Xiao He, remember to come often. Don't be so reserved. We don't eat people." Grandpa Lu's words caused laughter at the dinner table.

After the night is quiet.

Wen Ya was still thinking about Blueberry and was talking to her husband. She asked him why He Xi didn't like Lu Jinan, who had a good family background, good grades and was handsome.

Hearing this, Lu Ming laughed and said that Wen Ya had no limit in praising her son, and was just like Wang Po bragging about herself when selling melons.

Wen Ya was unhappy. What happened to his youngest son? Was she wrong?

Glancing at Lu Ming, Wen Ya walked with her slender legs and said coldly, "Go to sleep by yourself. Since I can't give birth to a son that satisfies you, you can divorce me first."

Lu Ming was frightened and quickly got up and chased after his wife: "You misunderstood my meaning..."

Without waiting for Wen Ya to answer, Lu Ming carried his wife and went back to the house. The bedroom door slammed shut, and Wen Ya's voice of protest was heard from inside: "I want to eat... blueberries..."

Even the old couple behind closed doors can make people blush and their hearts beat faster.

Comrades in the army scrambled for the delicacies that He Zhien brought back. Lu Yunshen showed his captain's authority and said, "Why are you robbing? We are strictly the people's soldiers. Where is the discipline?"

He then turned around and took two pieces of each cake, and commented: "Well, they are delicious, no wonder you guys were fighting for them."

The soldiers could not take it back even if they saw it, because the man held a high position and could not say anything.

He Zhien naturally couldn't stand it anymore and snatched the cake back: "My sister made it for me, you want to eat it? Let your brother make it."

Everyone tried to get close to her: "Isn't your sister our sister?"

"Get lost." Lu Yunshen glared at them, then turned to He Zhien with a smile and said, "It's our sister."

"You should go away."

It was also evening.

He Xi was busy preparing for the latest shipment of goods, as he hadn't made any money in a long time, and he could no longer count on the glass bottles he had made before, as he had used them all for gifts. This was the only thing he could do to pay back the money.

Snow meringue, osmanthus cake and jujube flower pastry, toast bread and thousand-layer butterfly pastry are all simple and easy snacks to make.

Although they didn't have an oven, they could use the wisdom of the working people. The family built an earthen stove for baking in one day. He Xi had no experience either, so they repeated the process of building and baking for a whole day and finally succeeded.

He Xi happily picked up the toast and sniffed it. It had a rich milky aroma, was sweet and delicious, and filled the air with a sense of satisfaction.

He Xi handed a piece to Lu Jinan: "Come on, you try it first, I think it tastes good."

There was a faint smile on Lu Jinan's lips: "Thank you."

"Is it too late to remedy this now?"

"what?"

"Store winter food."

He Xi looked at the dark mountain in the distance and thought for a moment: "Maybe there is something in the depths. It's too dangerous. There is something in the river."

When Lu Jinan heard that there was a way to remedy the situation, he felt relieved. He Xi realized his thoughts only later.

"It's nothing. I was just petty for a moment. I have food and money, but I'm worried that the snow will block the mountain and the food will be monotonous, and everyone will not be able to survive."

Lu Jinan said embarrassedly: "Thank you for the return gift you prepared for my family."

Facing his sincere eyes, He Xi seemed embarrassed: "It's only courtesy."

Lu Jinan stared at He Xi without blinking, admiring her beauty, her fair face, her lively eyes, and her seductive red lips.

The night is long and the beauty is ahead.
