Sweet Nostalgia of the 80s

Chapter 1849: Chapter 1848: This is just the beginning

”I promise you, we’ll do whatever you say. I’ll follow your command in everything!” Hou Zicheng said, ”Are you sure you can do it in such a short time... Forget it, that’s not my concern. However, I must remind you, if you fail, Cang Lang’s line will be severed. The hopes he places in you are enormous. You absolutely cannot make any mistakes.”

Upon hearing this, Rose couldn’t help but curl her lips: ”Do you think Cang Lang only has such limited abilities?”

”Honestly, given your current setup and progress, I really have some doubts.” Hou Zicheng had always hoped this Blood Rose could stir up some unexpected happenings.

But now it seemed he was a bit disappointed.

”This is just the beginning. Cang Lang has a game of chess in his mind. What you saw was merely a corner of the board! What I can tell you is that Cang Lang is always prepared, his pieces are ready, just waiting for the situational changes to make his move...”

”What do you mean?” Hou Zicheng seemed to understand, yet more confused.

”Alright. Don’t ask what you shouldn’t. Let’s stop playing riddles; there’s a time when the fog will clear and you will see things clearly. You’ll understand what I’m talking about then.” Rose didn’t plan to bicker more with Hou Zicheng, she stood up, ready to leave, ”Get ready for what you need as soon as possible! I don’t want to waste any more time.”

”Okay. Then I must plan carefully to ensure everything goes smoothly!” Hou Zicheng agreed.

A half month later, Gu Shuangshuang finished her postnatal period.

This day was also the child’s full-month birthday, a day worth celebrating greatly.

Tian Niu bought lots of sunflower seeds and candies, handing them out to the brothers in the camp, and also delivered some to Lin Miao and Gan Tian from the communications team, inviting them to come home for a meal.

This time, Gan Tian proactively refused.

This was a relationship without a future; although she liked Tian Niu in her heart, she couldn’t do anything to ruin someone’s family.

At noon, Tian Niu actively helped his mother-in-law to prepare a table full of good dishes, and the two families sat together and had a meal.

Tian Niu was somewhat excited, as his mother-in-law would leave in the afternoon.

The two months of living hell were coming to an end, and he finally got a few days of peace. If he could, Tian Niu truly wanted to beat gongs and set off firecrackers to ceremoniously send off his mother-in-law.

Gu Shuangshuang was also holding back laughter, just waiting eagerly for her own mother to leave quickly, so the house could have a few days of peace and quiet.

The fierce bombardment over this half month had really worn her out.

After the meal, those who needed to leave had to leave. Gu Shuangshuang, having finished her postnatal recovery, handed the baby to her second sister and together with Tian Niu, personally saw off Li Youjun and Duan Aihua.

At the gate of the courtyard, Li Youjun stopped and said to Tian Niu and Gu Shuangshuang, ”It’s cold, you both go back! We’re leaving now, and we’ll come to see Nannan again when we get the chance. I really like this child.”

”Mm. After the New Year, Tian Niu and I will bring the child home to visit you and my mother. Take good care of yourselves as well!” Gu Shuangshuang handed the things she was carrying to Li Youjun, ”These are for you to eat on the road. Take them!”

Li Youjun accepted what Gu Shuangshuang had prepared, looked at her lovingly, and said, ”Although I’m not your biological father, I see you as my own daughter. Now that you’re a mom, think before you act, don’t always be so childish! Tian Niu is a good person, so don’t always bicker with him.”
