The host of the quick travel is lacking in virtue for eight generations

Actually, her birth chart wasn't very good. Xiao Yun and the others didn't specifically choose an auspicious time. Anyway, with their abilities, they could change her fate even with the worst birth chart.

On the third and twelfth day after the baby's first bath, close relatives ate a meal at home without making a big fuss. However, on the day of the full moon, many people came, including family relatives, Hu Xuan's subordinates, and cadres from the commune.

They didn't hold a banquet, just sent some gifts, looked at the children, and left. Xiao Yun even saw two familiar faces among them.

One was Zhao Xingbang, the head of the state-run restaurant, and the other was the sales clerk from the supply and marketing cooperative who assaulted him. The two were actually a married couple! Moreover, they were the niece and nephew-in-law of the commune director.

This... I really didn't expect it. The commune's circle is really small.

However, this makes sense. She had previously wondered how Zhao Xingbang became the head of the state-run restaurant, since he had said he came from a rural background and had only attended a private school in the village for a few years.

Now we know, he married a good wife because of his good looks. Although his wife is not exactly beautiful and has a bad temper, she has strong connections.

Zhao Xingbang was quite surprised to see Xiao Yun. He really didn't expect that the wife of the head of the tail-cutting association was the girl who sold wild animals in his place a couple of years ago.

After Xiao Yun and Hu Xuan got married, she never went to his workplace. Only his trusted subordinates who frequently visited were familiar with her. She didn't talk much to anyone else, including the neighbors.

After getting married, Xiao Yun rarely went out except when she returned to Baijiatun. Later, when she became pregnant, she became even less inclined to go out. As for the families of cadres, they are not even allowed to have gatherings now, let alone any social gatherings of wives, so many of the cadres who came today were meeting her for the first time.

Those people were quite surprised. They all knew that Director Zhuo doted on his wife. He would rush home every day after get off work, buy things for her from time to time, and even buy groceries every day. Some people guessed that he had to cook for his wife when he got home.

Many people began to underestimate him because of this, thinking that someone who could be overpowered by a woman must be a coward.

But they forgot that he came from the battlefield, so how could he be good-tempered? He only learned his lesson after being disciplined and suffering losses a few times.

Now that I've met their wives, I understand. If they had such beautiful wives, they'd want to keep them at home. They'd be willing to cook for them, do their laundry, and nurse their babies.

Zhuo Suixin's appearance is almost a combination of her parents' best features. She is incredibly cute and adorable, with a high nose, big eyes, a cherry-like mouth, and naturally curly hair. She is even more exquisite and beautiful than the dolls in magazines.

When their child was a little over three months old, Xiao Yun and her husband took the child to a photo studio to have their 100-day photos taken.

There were photos of a family of three together, and photos of the child alone. Several photos were taken, and then a few more were printed. One copy was sent to the maternal grandparents' house, and another copy was sent back to the Zhuo family.

Although no one from that side came to the wedding or the birth of the child, the grandparents and the uncle sent money and gifts, and they also corresponded to check in with each other regularly, which was enough.

Actually, if Xiao Yun hadn't been pregnant, they were planning to go there for the Lunar New Year, since Zhuo Yiheng hadn't been home for many years.

This year's Chinese New Year is fine. By then, the baby will be a bit older, about five months old, so taking the train shouldn't be a problem.

The main reason is that it's rare to find an opportunity to go out and travel these days. You need a legitimate reason to go out, otherwise you'll always be checked on the street, which is very troublesome.

At this time, the gold mines in the Qilian Mountains also officially began to be mined.

Yes, it took several months of effort before mining could finally begin. The main challenge was determining the location of the ore vein and estimating the output. After that, the road up the mountain needed to be built, otherwise access and transportation would be problematic.

Several nearby brigades were mobilized to help repair the road. There is no mechanization at the moment, so it all depends on the strength of manpower.

Then, houses were built for the miners and other staff, and the mining area was enclosed with wire mesh or stone walls, not only to keep out people but also to keep out wild animals.

Before this, the militia had been specially organized to go up the mountain to hunt a batch of wild game. Several brigades, including the commune, received a lot of it, and the remaining wild game was naturally driven to other places.

Because of the establishment of the mine, many people from Baijiatun Brigade, including those from nearby brigades, went to work at the mine.

Almost all the able-bodied men in the village signed up. However, not many were actually retained, because although the mine needed a lot of people, they couldn't just recruit from one whole brigade.

There are many other teams nearby, so the number of spots is limited.

Of course, due to the climate, there is no work all year round. During the winter, the mine also has to stop working because heavy snow will block the mountain, and supplies cannot be sent up. Everyone may be trapped up there at any time.

Of course, this means the wages will be much lower, since you don't get paid when you're resting, but it's still much higher than the wages in slaughterhouses and forest farms.

Originally, they planned to spend the Spring Festival in Shandong Province, but plans can't keep up with changes. Because of the gold mine, the higher-ups were coming to inspect and learn, and Hu Xuan couldn't leave at all. Xiao Yun couldn't possibly take the child alone. Not only did she not know the place, but she also couldn't manage the four or five days on the road.

Fortunately, the snowfall here wasn't heavy this year, so there were no more avalanches or road closures. Grandpa Xiao and Grandma Xiao have come to the commune several times, ostensibly to deliver meat, but actually to visit the children.

Zhuo Suixin is so adorable. She doesn't cry and smiles at everyone. The two elderly people say that seeing her makes them feel like they can live a few more years.

After the snow, Xiao Yun was worried that the two elderly people would fall, so she took the child back home for a few days. It just so happened that Hu Xuan went to the county for a meeting during those days.

"As you wish~ Come see Great-Grandma, Great-Grandma has flowers here~"

Grandma Xiao held up a red cloth flower and waved it at Suixin, who was lying on the kang (a heated brick bed). Suixin grinned and laughed, kicking her little legs and reaching out to grab it.

The room was warm, so we didn't wrap her in a blanket or dress her in anything too thick. She was just wearing a thin cotton onesie, which Xiao Yun had made. Her grandma and mom had praised her several times, saying that such clothes were comfortable for the child and wouldn't make her stomach or feet cold.

Only Grandma Xiao, Mom Xiao, and Xiao Yun were in the house. Grandpa Xiao and Dad Xiao had gone to the mountainside to pick up Jia Duo Bao. That guy had gone hunting. After the snow, pheasants were easy to catch and couldn't run away at all.

This is to prepare for the Chinese New Year; we won't go if it gets any colder.

Xiao's mother was sewing shoe soles, while Xiao Yun was knitting a sweater for the child, which would be finished in a day or two; she didn't have the patience for that of an adult.

Even when they have work to do, they still manage to chat and play with the children, gossiping about the village, and occasionally winking and making noises at Xiao Suixin.

"Grandma, Mom, Third Sister, I'm home!"

Before the words were even finished, Xiao Huandi lifted the curtain and came in.

"Why did you come here again? It just snowed today, and you might get stuck!"

Xiao's mother looked at her with disapproval. This girl's belly was already quite big, and she was being spoiled by her husband more and more, losing all her composure. Last time, she sat on her bottom on the road. Luckily, the snow was thick and she didn't fall, but that still scared everyone quite a bit. So, she was forbidden from going out alone when it snowed.

"No, Guangyuan is outside helping my grandpa and dad carry the roe deer. Duobao is so capable, he brought back a whole sled."
