Luo Xudong, who hadn’t been very talkative all along, surprisingly stepped forward this time and accepted the housewarming gift, even offering a smile and thanks to Liu Chunshu. Liu Chunshu was pleasantly surprised; this future leader actually thanked him. Thankfully, he hadn’t listened to his wife and mother when deciding on a gift—it’s important to give something satisfactory! Look at that, the future leader initiated a conversation with him! Zhang Yuzhi was a bit exasperated watching her son’s silly behavior; didn’t he notice Little Tian’er was feeling awkward? This fool! Finally, unable to bear it any longer, she pulled Liu Chunshu away. Luo Xudong looked at the mandarin duck bedsheets in his hand, thought they were pretty well made, and decided to use them for the wedding night! Watching Luo Xudong stare at the mandarin duck bedsheets with a mysterious smile on his lips, Beisitian’s face instantly turned as black as a pot’s bottom. Mrs. Qin and Luo Anguo pretended not to notice, tidying up here and there. Judging by the pair’s demeanor, it probably won’t be long before they can have the wedding banquet! Luo Xuping, however, wasn’t happy and started shouting, "Mom, I’m afraid to sleep alone; I want to sleep in the west room with Sis!" In his heart, Sis is just Sis, without differentiating between younger uncle and sister-in-law. Luo Xudong cast a stern glance over, realizing he needed to properly teach this brat about manners and etiquette to prevent him from being disrespectful! Mrs. Qin, hearing this, immediately grabbed Luo Xuping by the ear and led him outside. The child is already six years old; he really needs to be taught well. Now that Luo Xudong is back, once the time is ripe, it’ll be necessary for him to start calling her sister-in-law. As Mrs. Qin pulled Luo Xuping out, there was a commotion at the front gate; Old Guo and Mrs. Guo, bringing Guo Mingda along with Guo Jianye, arrived together. "Sister-in-law, what’s going on here? We hadn’t even come in yet and already heard your boy making a racket," Guo Jianye laughed. He taught Luo Anguo hunting and called him "younger brother," naturally referring to Mrs. Qin as "sister-in-law." "Uncle Guo, Aunt Guo, big brother, big sister, come in and have a seat," Mrs. Qin let go of Luo Xuping’s ear, inviting them inside to sit. Old Guo and Mrs. Guo were carrying two pots, while Guo Jianye and his wife had two boxes, the sound suggesting ceramic bowls or something similar inside. "Our two families are here to celebrate your housewarming and take a look at Doctor Bei," Mrs. Guo said with a smile. Mrs. Qin knew their visit was mainly out of respect for Beisitian. "Oh my, isn’t this Xudong! He’s really handsome and looks so spirited; worthy of being the hero of our Kao Village!" Mrs. Guo gazed at Luo Xudong with admiration, clearly impressed by this fine young man. Luo Xudong was familiar with Old Guo’s family; years ago, they taught Luo Anguo hunting, and he had once wanted to tag along, but he was too young to join. It’s fortunate he wasn’t allowed to join, otherwise he wouldn’t have gone to the army. For these people, Luo Xudong spoke with a certain respect to greet them. "This house is really spacious, with its large glass windows far superior to our paper ones. In winter, when the sunlight streams in, there’s no need to heat the stove!" Mrs. Guo looked at the northern rooms and felt envious. As soon as she entered the courtyard, she thought it was especially nice; the house was built high, posing no issue with water accumulation during rainy seasons, indicating good family conditions. Otherwise, who would spend idly to elevate the foundation—this costs quite a bit! Guo Jianye and his wife also toured around a bit, admiring the excellent house; it made them consider whether they should rebuild theirs, though they truly didn’t have that courage. Building such a house probably costs two or three thousand at least! The children ran out into the yard to play while the adults chatted together. Soon, the sound of the front gate echoed again, and Zhuangzhuang shouted twice to inform someone had arrived. Mrs. Qin went out to greet them, only to see it was the Li Family; Li Mengxia brought her son and husband along for the housewarming celebration. "Doctor Bei, we rushed here afraid we’d be late—and everything would be given by others already—this is just a token from my husband and me!" Li Mengxia and her husband brought two eight-pound quilts, one with a green satin finish and the other with a red satin finish, embroidered with mandarin ducks and peonies, looking very festive. "Thank you," Beisitian smiled. Thankfully, "Flat-head" Liu Chunshu was the only one; otherwise, if there were a couple more like him, Beisitian might really not be able to handle it. Li Mengxia’s son was growing well now, even better than before. It seemed that after the bout of pneumonia and under Beisitian’s care, his health foundation was stronger than ever. To this, Li Mengxia and her husband were immensely grateful. Luo Xudong watched from the side, seeing how Beisitian seamlessly responded and interacted with people in a gentle and polite manner. She maintained just the right distance—not too indifferent, yet not overly enthusiastic—making people feel comfortable and natural in her company. As soon as Old Guo’s two families left, two more families came; these were families healed by Beisitian. Besides them, the surviving members of the Li Family from the landslide also came; soon Yang Wulang, with his wife and children, arrived to offer congratulations. Unexpectedly, Xu Youcai also showed up with a housewarming gift. Get full chapters from 𝕟𝕠𝕧𝕖𝕝⚑𝕗𝕚𝕣𝕖⚑𝕟𝕖𝕥 Luo Er’s household suddenly became quite lively. The smiles on the faces of Mrs. Qin and Luo Anguo never faded. Luo Xudong couldn’t help but smile at the scene. In his childhood, he distinctly remembered the village kids wanting to bully him, saying his family was outsiders. Although he ultimately dealt with them, a small shadow remained in his young heart. Now, witnessing this bustling scene was partly due to Beisitian healing these people’s families, but also heavily related to her personal charm. In the evening, Luo Er’s family held two tables for a banquet in gratitude to Carpenter Liu’s family and Luo Aiguo and his son. Luo Anguo still couldn’t drink, but this time there was no need to use water as a substitute since Luo Xudong drank on his behalf. Carpenter Liu self-claimed to be a strong drinker, able to down a bottle of forty-proof Erguotou, yet was surprised that Luo Xudong could drink even more than he could! If it weren’t for Zhang Yuzhi stepping in, someone might have ended up laid out tonight! Carpenter Liu looked at Luo Xudong with shining eyes; drinking with this lad was truly exhilarating! Thanks to Mrs. Qin and Zhang Yuzhi’s intervention, they only drank a bottle and a half of the white liquor before wrapping it up, with Luo Xudong unaffected, while Carpenter Liu felt dissatisfied. Seeing this, Luo Anguo couldn’t help but chuckle bitterly; good thing he hadn’t drunk with this guy, otherwise even ten of him wouldn’t beat Carpenter Liu. Luo Aiguo was already in a drunken stupor, his mind preoccupied; the moment he drank, he got drunk. Luo Xuqiang, not much of a drinker, carried Luo Aiguo back home. Once the drinks were finished and people dispersed, the table was tidied up a bit. Mrs. Qin then went to bed with Luo Anguo; Beisitian saw Luo Xudong walking normally, allowing her to finally breathe a sigh of relief, fearing he might get drunk. Who would have thought that once inside the room, Luo Xudong, seemingly fine outside, suddenly became abnormal?
