Chapter 138: Father and Mother Lu parted ways, cooperated with the black market, and earned consider
Bai Zhizhi had to go to work, so Lu's father and mother did not stay in the staff quarters for long. They returned to Beijing after only three days.
During these three days, as long as Bai Zhizhi had no classes, she would take Lu's father and mother to the sea city or the county for a stroll. They strolled together in the bustling streets and alleys, admiring the unique scenery of the city; tasting the local special snacks, and feeling the strong regional cultural atmosphere.
Since Wuyang County is located in the south and Lu's father and his family have always lived in the north, Bai Zhizhi would also cook various delicious foods at home with Lu's mother.
While chatting and laughing, they made delicious dishes (hot pot, braised pork noodles, steamed rice rolls, dumplings, braised pork and potatoes, hot and sour fish, spicy chicken, spicy goose, boiled chicken, stir-fried pork with macaroni stems, sweet potato noodle stew, pork and potato rice, stir-fried meat with carrots, meat pie, etc.). The exquisite dishes were served on the table, making Mr. and Mrs. Lu feel the warmth of home.
Although the time they spent together was short, Bai Zhizhi and Lu's father and mother had a very pleasant time. They understood and cared about each other, and established a deep relationship.
Around 1974:04 p.m. on April 07,
At the moment of parting, Bai Zhizhi was filled with reluctance. Fortunately, Bai Zhizhi had no classes yesterday afternoon, so she prepared a lot of things for Lu's father and mother and the people at home, including three big bags, two of which were full of food, clothes for her nephews and cloth for her two sisters-in-law.
I asked them to help make some suitable clothes for Grandpa Lu, Grandma Lu, and my grandparents. My parents-in-law's clothes were all ready when we had no classes the next morning. They each made a set of casual going-out clothes (a cylindrical T-shirt on the upper body and straight trousers on the lower body, which together made a set of retro sportswear). They all liked it very much. As we didn't know the sizes of Grandpa Lu and his family, we had to provide the fabric and let the two sisters-in-law help make it when they were free. Of course, we also gave each of them the corresponding fabric (Second Brother Lu's family had one more child, so they got more fabric).
When she went out, she wanted to help Lu's father and mother carry the luggage, but with Lu Chuan, the strongman, around, she and Lu's mother had to hold a child's hand each and drive to the train station in Hai City together.
Along the way, they chatted and recalled every detail of the past few days. Those warm scenes were playing before their eyes like a movie, and every moment was so beautiful.
"Zhizhi, we are leaving, you have to take good care of yourself! Take pictures of the triplets from time to time and send them to Beijing. The triplets are already over three years old, and it's time to start preparing their school admission materials. Your grandparents miss the triplets too. If they weren't too old, they would have expressed their desire to come and see you." Mother Lu held Bai Zhizhi's hand, her eyes full of love.
"Mom, don't worry, I will." Bai Zhizhi held Lu's mother's hand tightly, her voice choked with sobs.
"Zhizhi, remember to call home when you have time and tell your parents if anything happens." Father Lu patted Bai Zhizhi's shoulder and instructed.
"Okay, I get it, Dad." Bai Zhizhi nodded, tears welling up in her eyes.
The train slowly pulled into the platform. Mr. and Mrs. Lu boarded the train. They stood in front of the window and waved goodbye to Bai Zhizhi. Bai Zhizhi looked at the train going farther and farther away until it disappeared from her sight, then she turned and left.
This brief reunion has become a precious memory in Bai Zhizhi's life. She looks forward to the next reunion and hopes to spend a wonderful time with Mr. and Mrs. Lu again.
When they arrived at the station, Bai Zhizhi hugged Lu's mother tightly. Tears welled up in her eyes. Lu's father patted her shoulder and comforted her, "Don't cry. We will meet again."
The train slowly left the platform. Bai Zhizhi waved goodbye until the train disappeared from her sight. She took a deep breath, turned around and left the station, secretly vowing in her heart that she must work hard to make future reunions even better.
Around 1974:04 p.m. on April 07,
After Bai Zhizhi and Lu Chuan's family of five returned home, Bai Zhizhi was still in a state of distress. She sat quietly on the sofa, her eyes empty and her mind in disarray. She didn't know why she was so fragile, like a fragile glass heart that would break into countless pieces with a slight touch.
After all, she was not like this in her previous life! At that time, she had a bad temper, did whatever she wanted, and was never defeated by anyone or anything.
Moreover, she is the daughter of the Bai family, who is in the top ten of the richest list, and lives a rich and carefree life. However, now she has become so sensitive and easily hurt.
Especially after giving birth, her emotions were even more ups and downs, completely unlike the strong and confident "Bai Zhizhi" before.
Was it because her body and soul had changed after her rebirth? Or was it because her sense of responsibility for her family and children became more and more important, so she became so sensitive? In any case, she knew that she couldn't let this emotion continue to affect her life. So she took a deep breath, tried to adjust her mentality, and told herself to be strong.
Bai Zhizhi decided to turn her grief into motivation and work harder to distract herself and relieve her inner pressure. In addition, she also wanted to create better living conditions for her children so that they could grow up happily.
Thinking of this, Bai Zhizhi's mood gradually calmed down, and she began to think about what to do next.
The triplets are about to be old enough to go to kindergarten, and Bai Zhizhi thinks that the three of them are smart enough to go directly to elementary school. After all, their learning speed in the system space is amazing, and they have already mastered a lot of knowledge.
However, the education method of kindergarten may focus more on cultivating children's social skills and moral cultivation. Therefore, Bai Zhizhi plans to consult the teacher next semester to see if it is necessary to send the children to kindergarten.
If the teacher thinks that the children need more exercise in kindergarten, she will respect the professional opinion and send them to kindergarten. Otherwise, she will consider other ways suitable for the children's development.
Ever since Lu Chuan's parents returned to Beijing, Bai Zhizhi's family still has to live their lives as usual.
When Bai Zhizhi didn't have classes, she would go into the system space to review with the triplets. However, to her surprise, on the first day, she found that the three of them could recite all the knowledge points backwards.
This made Bai Zhizhi feel very gratified, and she also realized that the triplets' talent and hard work made them surpass their peers.
Bai Zhizhi knows that education is very important for children. Therefore, despite the excellent performance of the triplets, she will continue to pay attention to their learning progress and continue to give them encouragement and support. At the same time, she will also focus on cultivating their moral cultivation and social skills in daily life so that they can become well-rounded talents.
Not only that, the triplets were able to draw inferences about other situations by analogy, and sometimes would even take the initiative to start a topic, but ended up having to search on Baidu to see if there were any answers. There were several questions that even Bai Zhizhi herself could not find the answers to, but after hearing the analysis from the eldest brother and others, she suddenly understood.
1974 年 5 月 25 日清晨 6 点 02 分，阳光透过窗帘洒进房间。
Today is Bai Zhizhi's birthday. Lu Chuan got up early and tiptoed into the kitchen to cook a bowl of steaming longevity noodles for his wife.
After waking up, Bai Zhizhi reached out and touched the bed beside her, only to find that it was no longer warm. She secretly guessed that her husband might have gone downstairs to prepare breakfast.
She quickly washed up and went downstairs in her slippers.
When she walked into the living room, she saw two large bowls of longevity noodles and three small bowls of longevity noodles on the dining table.
One of the bowls of noodles had two poached eggs in it, while the other bowls had one in each.
Bai Zhizhi was deeply moved because she knew that this was a birthday surprise that Lu Chuan had carefully prepared for her. Although Lu Chuan was usually taciturn, he expressed his deep love for Bai Zhizhi with practical actions.
For Bai Zhizhi, this birthday, although simple and plain, is an important moment in her life.
This was also her third birthday since coming into this world, and she spent every birthday with the one she loved deeply.
She couldn't help but feel deeply moved, thinking that this journey was really worth it. Although she had lost everything she had originally, she now had true love and a happy family, which were the most precious treasures.
Because today is Bai Zhizhi's birthday, we had lunch in the space today. After all, the fragrance would still bring unnecessary trouble.
After eating the longevity noodles, he and Lu Chuan locked the door, and the five of them entered the system space hand in hand.
Bai Zhizhi originally wanted to cook, but was rejected by Lu Chuan, who said that today was the birthday boy and he needed to have a good rest for the day. The triplets also obediently put down their books and massaged Bai Zhizhi and their mother's shoulders.
Bai Zhizhi fell asleep while being massaged, and the triplets carefully returned to the kitchen to help Lu Chuan wash the vegetables.
Two and a half hours later, lunch was finally ready. The hotpot was the base, and the rest could be eaten after soaking in water.
Looking at the dazzling array of ingredients on the table, Lu Chuan nodded with satisfaction and gently woke up Bai Zhizhi.
"Wife, it's time to eat!" he called gently.
Bai Zhizhi woke up slowly, still sleepy, and saw the table full of delicious food. A surprised smile appeared on her face.
"Wow, there are so many delicious foods!" she said happily.
The family sat around the dining table and enjoyed a delicious lunch.
The children happily picked up their favorite food and devoured it.
Bai Zhizhi picked up a piece of beef and put it into her mouth, feeling the tenderness and juiciness of the meat, and a sense of satisfaction arose spontaneously.
Lu Chuan took good care of his wife, serving her food and adding soup from time to time.
The family ate and chatted, and laughter echoed throughout the space.
At this moment, Bai Zhizhi felt extremely happy. She knew that no matter where she was, as long as she had her family by her side, that was the greatest happiness.
1974年06月08日早上09：53分
On this day, Bai Zhizhi's class was in the morning. When she went to fetch water after her first class, she happened to hear two colleagues discussing the black market enthusiastically.
They mentioned that there are some extremely rare and valuable ingredients on the black market, which can often be sold at astonishing prices.
This news made Bai Zhizhi's heart move. She couldn't help but recall that she had dealt with the black market before. If she could find more rare ingredients like this, she might be able to make a fortune.
Action speaks louder than words. Bai Zhizhi immediately began to investigate the black market. She collected relevant information through various channels and gradually learned about the rules and locations of black market transactions.
Despite the complex environment of the black market, Bai Zhizhi did not back down. Relying on her wisdom and courage, she successfully established a closer connection with the black market and successfully obtained some precious food resources - special medicinal materials.
As time went by, Bai Zhizhi would take advantage of her days off or disguise herself as Lu Chuan to deliver goods. Then, every half a month, she would send a batch of special medicinal herbs picked from the mountains in Wuyang County to the black market. Later, Bai Zhizhi's business flourished and became more and more prosperous. Her hard work was finally rewarded. Not only did she make more money than before, but she also met some like-minded and interesting people.
During this period of time, Bai Zhizhi sold some of the supplies in her space.
This included 5000 kilograms of rice, priced at 1.6 yuan per kilogram; 200 kilograms of glutinous rice, priced at 2.4 yuan per kilogram; and because the fruit varieties are scarce now, only kilograms of glutinous rice were sold. She couldn't help but feel deeply moved, thinking that this time travel was really worthwhile. Although she lost everything she had originally, she now has a true love and a happy family, which is the most precious wealth. Thinking of this, she couldn't help but smile with satisfaction.
Because today is Bai Zhizhi's birthday, they had lunch in the space. After all, the fragrance would still bring unnecessary trouble. The five of them walked into the system space hand in hand, enjoying the tranquility and warmth.
After eating the longevity noodles, Bai Zhizhi originally planned to cook for herself, but was rejected by Lu Chuan. He gently said to Bai Zhizhi: "Dear, today is your birthday! You should have a good rest for a day and don't have to do anything."
Hearing this, Bai Zhizhi was deeply moved. The triplets beside her also put down their books, ran to their mother, and gently massaged her shoulders.
In this way, Bai Zhizhi gradually fell asleep under the care of her family. When the triplets saw that their mother had fallen asleep, they carefully returned to the kitchen to help their father wash and cut vegetables and prepare lunch.
Two and a half hours later, a sumptuous lunch was finally ready. The hot pot was placed in the middle as the main dish, and various ingredients were placed around it, which could be put into the pot and cooked before eating. The family sat around the table, sharing some of the delicious food they made themselves.
Rice is 1 yuan per catty; the price of fruit is 6 yuan per catty; there are also two wild boar meats, a total of 2 catties, sold at 870 yuan per catty; and 1.8 catties of sorghum rice, sold at 10 yuan per catty. You must memorize the special and ordinary medicinal herbs for me.
In this way, she would have enough funds to achieve her goal - buying a courtyard house.
After selling 10 bicycles, she will have more assets and can enjoy shopping to her heart's content.
At the same time, she also plans to stock up on some school district housing in Beijing, after all, this is the trend of the future. In addition, she also has to consider her friends' needs for resources.
In the family compound, Bai Zhizhi made many new friends.
Although she is still working, communicating with them while shopping for groceries or cooking always gives her many fresh ideas and inspirations.
These new friends in the family compound do not have top-notch servants, and although they will not make her life more colorful, they also provide more motivation for her career development.
Thus, Bai Zhizhi's career story begins a new chapter...
However, she never forgot the agreement with Lu's father and mother and looked forward to their next reunion.
She knows very well that family will always be her spiritual harbor, and she must cherish the emotional bond between family members no matter when and where.
