Chapter 129 - 126 New Update on the News
The New Year is here, but the city feels much more subdued than the village; everything is still chaotic, and people are anxious.
Li Huai Ren sits at the kitchen table, looking at the newspapers that Qin Xi brought back a few days ago, as well as a letter from his old buddy Lan Xinmin.
The old buddy has gone to the Jinan Military Region, with his eldest son there, who took his grandson with him last October, perhaps out of concern that his father would be in danger due to the unstable situation.
After reading the letter, Mr. Li’s face was smiling. At this moment, Li Xianglu was packing dumplings, Qin Xi was rolling out the dough, and Qin Zhen was stoking the fire at the cookstove.
Today is already the first day of the Lunar New Year, and just like last year, Grandpa Li gave each of the three children a big red envelope, hoping for new hopes for each child this year. But unexpectedly, hope came so quickly.
It was Qin Zhen who first noticed that Grandpa Li’s laughter was a bit off and curiously asked, "Grandpa, what are you laughing about? The dumplings aren’t ready yet." No matter how many years have passed, Qin Zhen’s mentality hasn’t grown much. In his eyes, the best thing is to eat delicious food.
Mr. Li smiled and shook his head: "Ah, you child, you really are lucky."
Hearing this, Qin Zhen quickly put down the fire poker and scrambled over; Li Xianglu and Qin Xi also stopped their tasks and turned to look.
Grandpa Li said with a smile, "Old Man Lan sent a letter, saying that his son heard from higher-ups, it seems that universities might start to recruit students again this year."
