"Does your family know?"
"Yes, I visited her home for a few days before the holiday. Her parents are very open, and you know them too; they often take us out."
Xu Li's lips twitched. "I thought Dad was the least worrisome, but it turns out you, girl, are the most troublesome one. Do you plan to stay with her all the time?"
"Well, she’s actually quite pitiful. When she was little, she was sent to her grandparents' house for the summer and was bullied badly by the boys in the village. Later, she developed some psychological issues and would go close to any boy. She’s my desk mate."
"Your desk mate?"
He scratched his chin and thought for a while. "Is she the thin, quiet one who gets scared and hides behind you whenever I get close? That’s Irina, right?"
"Yes, that's her."
Zhuo Ya lifted her head, her big eyes blinking at him. "Can I, Dad?"
"Dad respects your choice. Worst case, I’ll support you both for life; after all, the ranch will eventually be yours to manage."
"You’re so nice!"
The little girl happily got up to help Xu Li stretch his legs. Anna was about to call her husband to rest when she happened to see this scene. She smiled and said, "Misha, it’s time for bed."
Zhuo Ya wrapped her arms around his neck and made a face at Anna. "No! I want to chat with Dad."
"Suit yourself."
Anna gave them a teasing glance before closing the door and returning to the bedroom. While playing on her phone, Eva glanced at the door. "Where's Misha?"
"He’s in the study reading. Let’s go to sleep."
The sisters giggled as they crawled under the covers, quickly kicking off one piece of bothersome clothing after another.
The New Year here isn’t much different from that in Huaxia; during this time, people visit each other. As the one who speaks most on behalf of Xu Li in the village, he opened the courtyard gate early to wait for others to come and pay their New Year’s greetings.
After exchanging greetings with the old villagers and chatting for a while, they moved on to visit others. Some young men accompanied female workers with gifts to wish Xu Li's family a happy New Year.
Xu Li looked at the pregnant female worker and patted the young man's shoulder. "Petrov, take good care of Suzanna."
"I will, Brother Makarov."
Petrov was about twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old and had gone through a failed marriage. His partner took their parents' inheritance along with several years of hard-earned savings and ran off with her lover, leaving him with their six-year-old daughter and one-year-old son.
They met online through chatting and eventually decided to meet in Bratsk after spending more time together. At that time, Petrov was quite down on his luck; he met Suzanna while bringing along his two children and candidly shared his experiences.
Suzanna felt sympathy for Petrov's situation but was also afraid of being deceived again. So she called Xu Li for advice. By the time Xu Li arrived in the afternoon, he asked just one question: "Are you willing to endure hardship?"
Petrov nodded without hesitation, "I can do it!"
In just a few minutes of meeting, Xu Li brought Suzanna, Petrov, and his two children back to Growing Village, where they were settled into the temporary resting room in Cattle Shed No. 3. The children were taken care of by other female workers. After teaching Petrov how to operate a tractor, Xu Li handed him an electric saw and an axe. "You can build your own home. I will give you some advice on construction."
