Chapter 447: Seventies: The Mature Husband 47

Before they knew it, it was 1979.

Just before the college entrance examination, Tang Wan became pregnant. Not long afterward, the Xue family's twins both got into university. It was truly three pieces of good news arriving at once.

For a while, the villagers who had previously disdained even walking past the Xue family's doorstep now passed by their house every day, their faces full of envy.

Two university students had come out of the family at once. As expected of children born to someone who had studied abroad.

Tang Wan was delighted as well.

Being able to get into university at this time was absolutely something that could bring honor to one's ancestors.

The two children had managed to get into university under her tutoring. She really felt incredibly accomplished!

……

When Xue Xingtong learned that Tang Wan was pregnant, he was completely stunned.

Then he picked Tang Wan up and spun around with her several times.

When he finally stopped, Tang Wan noticed that tears had actually welled up in Xue Xingtong's eyes.

“Tongtong, are these what you call tears of joy?” Tang Wan couldn't resist teasing him.

Xue Xingtong froze, then broke into a wide grin.

“Yes!”

He was going to have a child of his own too!

Everything felt just like a dream.

……

After that, Xue Xingtong no longer worked himself to the bone like before. Instead, he made plenty of time to accompany Tang Wan.

A woman's pregnancy was a major matter. With Ruru and the others away at university, he wouldn't feel at ease unless he stayed home and looked after her.

When the twins returned home for winter break, there was someone to take care of Tang Wan, and only then did Xue Xingtong dare to travel out of town again.

In April of the following year, Tang Wan gave birth to a son.

After having a child, Xue Xingtong became even more mature and steady. On top of that, after two years of experience in the business world, he had also developed an air of confident composure befitting a major business figure.

……

Three years later, the country officially implemented the policy of contracting farmland to individual households, bringing the era of earning work points to an end.

At this point, Xue Xingtong and Tang Wan could finally leave Hekou Village and officially move to the city.

After moving to the city, Xue Xingtong became busy once again.

Tang Wan didn't mind. Every day, she played with the child, watched television, and played Xiao Xiao Le. Her days were quite fulfilling.

And this country, which was just beginning to recover and rebuild, also began developing at an astonishing speed.

After all, the people at this time could be said to be exceptionally hardworking and diligent. Everyone was contributing their own small yet indispensable effort to the country's revival.

By the time their child reached school age, Xue Xingtong had also become a major figure in the transportation industry.

Tang Wan had never deliberately paid attention to Xue Xingtong's rise, so when she suddenly saw his name on the evening news, she was stunned for a moment.

“Little Cutie, how far has Tongtong gotten now?” Tang Wan couldn't help asking.

“Oh, the villain has already taken control of half of China's transportation industry,” Little Cutie said.

Hearing this, Tang Wan couldn't help drawing in a sharp breath.

To be fair, she considered herself something of a business prodigy, but she had to admit that even with the same amount of time and capital, she probably couldn't have achieved what Tongtong had accomplished now.

This guy had clearly still been working in the electrical appliance industry before. How had he become the leader of the transportation industry after just a few years of her not paying attention?

No wonder the original plot had said that he had almost thrown the country's economy into chaos through his own efforts.

Still, as expected of her Tongtong. He was seriously amazing!

……

Just then, the door opened, and Xue Xingtong came in carrying several bags.

“Wanwan, these are skincare products Chairman Zhou gave me. He said they're very good and asked me to bring them back for you to try. And this is a new outfit I bought for you. See if you like it.”

The moment Xue Xingtong entered the room, he squeezed their son out of the way. He handed Tang Wan a box of exquisitely packaged skincare products, then shook out the dress from another bag for her to see.

Their seven-year-old little boy rolled his eyes when he saw this and very sensibly went into his own room.

He was almost forty years old, yet the moment he came home, he clung to his mom all day long.

Shameless old man!

Hmph!
