Chronicle of the 70s

After confirming the news, Qin Xi brought Li Xianglu to the Overseas Chinese Store to buy a bunch of fruits, walnuts, red dates, and a lot of dried fruits before they returned together.

The corners of Qin Xi’s mouth unconsciously curled upwards, obviously in a good mood, while Li Xianglu followed behind lazily, with a demeanor of resigned indifference—having already foolishly gotten to this point, and now even pregnant, they say pregnancy makes one dumb for three years, so being a bit dumb herself wasn’t a problem.

Grandpa Li and Su Yan had people set the dining table in the yard directly, waiting for others while watching Sister Xing cook.

By mid-June, the weather had already heated up. Sister Xing planned to make some cold noodles for lunch, accompanied by red bean porridge, while the naughty kid was squatting by the outdoor faucet, playing with the fish in a basin.

These fish were bought by Grandpa Li early in the morning at the market from someone selling them from a cart. They were a bit more expensive than the food supply station, costing four mao per jin, but the fish were lively and jumping in the basin, very fresh, so he bought four of them.

Seeing the two returning one after the other, Qin Xi had an unmistakable look of joy, while Li Xianglu behind had a face of laziness—it was clear without guessing that she must be pregnant.

The naughty kid, seeing Qin Xi carrying a big net bag of fruits, suddenly dashed over and first took out a few peaches to wash at the faucet.

Before long, Li Xianglu lazily leaned on a lounge chair with the naughty kid, eating peaches.

The naughty kid, sitting on a small stool beside her, stared at Li Xianglu’s belly in amazement and asked, "Is there a little baby in your tummy?"

Li Xianglu nodded, took a bite of the peach, "Mmm, the crispy peach is really sweet."
