Chapter 70: The Longed-For Paradise

“Cousin, are you really my cousin Li Gou?” Li Wei exclaimed in surprise, never expecting to encounter his cousin here.

He recalled that his cousin’s family had left Li Village long ago. Why were they still wandering within Henan Prefecture after nearly two months?

Only after listening to their story did he understand. These people were all from Sanming Township. Not knowing where to go, they had been drifting like homeless dogs within the borders of Henan.

...

After a brief laugh, Tang Jie paused, holding back for a few breaths before saying, “Wait for me, I have something to discuss with you.”

Back in the 1980s, Taiwan’s television media was still dominated by TTV, CTV, and CTS—the “Old Three Stations” that ruled the island’s television market.

“Hey, I’m eating here! Don’t make such sudden moves, okay?” Remy, hanging around my neck, released her grip and complained.

Sitting there, Chen Daxiang’s expression shifted slightly. He truly hadn’t been able to sleep these past few days; this matter had weighed heavily on his mind.

All overseas collaborations were handed off by Gu Long to the Golden Harvest Company, as they had richer experience in international film distribution.

“This battle should be entrusted to Angie to command the Dragon Cavalry,” Chen Ji said. Avril’s face was full of confusion—not because she cared about who commanded the Land Dragon Cavalry, but because, judging from Chen Ji’s tone, he did not intend for her to participate in this fight.

Spending a family reunion Spring Festival here, for the first time, he truly felt the bustle of having family around. Although there were similar customs in the army, and Zheng Qi always treated everyone like brothers, something always felt missing. This time, at least, he managed to fulfill a long-held wish.

“Director Liu Shun, in which year did you start working?” Wang Zijun flicked the ash from his cigarette and asked thoughtfully.

“Director Meng, how did things go?” After a few polite exchanges, Zhou Aiguo asked hopefully.

The so-called “propagandizing for bandits” was, in most cases, a charge fabricated by the Nationalist authorities against those whose actions displeased them—an arbitrary accusation for those who obeyed or opposed.

Yuan Muzhi seemed to have installed a surveillance device on Li Sandou, so that every move Li Sandou made was within his grasp, including what he intended to do next.

In her past life? Feng Ye thought Lian Siyue was simply speaking of her deep affection for Feng Yunzheng, unaware that she was actually telling the truth.

Seeing himself in the lead, about to snatch the red flower, Han Zhicheng couldn’t help but grow excited.

Qin Yu was working overtime at the office when her family called, saying she hadn’t come home after school and asking for information.

Zhuang Qintong knew about her relationship with Susan. If she came looking for Susan, she would also learn, through Susan’s words, about the wedding dress design.

After all, it was the wedding of a great family in Tianyuan City—naturally, all the prominent figures of the city would be present.

Beside him, Li Xiaoxiao saw it most clearly. From her perspective, Wu Yong looked as if he had been inflated, his veins protruding all over his body, threatening to burst at any moment.

Just for delivering a cup of wine, he could earn a million as a reward—where else could one find such good fortune?

“That’s impossible, isn’t it?” Liuxing knew exactly how much magic she possessed; just by releasing all the magic within her body, she could fill an entire solar system with spiritual energy.

Indeed, instead of choosing a suicidal solo fight, they stood shoulder to shoulder, advancing and retreating together.

They had no central heating, so other than piling on thick clothes, they could only rely on their bodies to withstand the cold.

From this day forward, all care for Ni Fangfang comes to an end. There will be no more special arrangements with the county, nor any special attention. Her future lies entirely in her own hands.
