Chronicle of the 70s

On the seventh day of the new year, except for Grandpa Li who stayed at home, Li Xianglu and the Qin brothers all went to the train station to see off Li Jianqing. He had one more suitcase and a big bag than when he arrived, all prepared by Li Xianglu—some for a few people in the Li Family Village, some for Li Jianqing, and some food for him to eat on the road.

Farewells are heartbreaking. As soon as she saw people boarding the train, Li Xianglu’s eyes turned red, and she pouted sadly, about to cry. Seeing this, Qin Xi quickly pulled her into his arms, soothing her: "Don’t cry. Jianqing has been performing well; he might even be able to test into the capital next year. Then you can see him every day if you want."

With tearful eyes, Li Xianglu sniffed and asked, "Really?"

Qin Xi hurriedly nodded: "Of course it’s true!"

Li Xianglu expressed belief but confusingly asked: "Why don’t you call my third brother ’Third Brother’? We’re married now, and you still call him Jianqing."

Qin Xi wiped his forehead even though there was no sweat, sighed, and said: "I’ll change it later." His wife was in grief now; he’d better agree first.

Seeing him agree so readily, Li Xianglu hummed in acknowledgment: "I’ll remember this."

Right after they sent off Jianqing, Qin Zhen walked towards the exit, shaking his head. Because he turned around too sharply, he bumped into someone who had just come in, resulting in both of them hurtling backward. Qin Zhen exclaimed in pain as he fell on his buttocks and immediately cursed: "You bastard! How dare you bump into your lord!"

The other person was a punk too, wearing bell-bottom pants with long hair, but his cool and handsome look was marred by the big, hairy mole on his round face. Upon hearing Qin Zhen’s words, he immediately scrambled up, ready to slap him.
