Transmigrated as My Aunt in the 70s

Chapter 544: Chapter 537: Tying the Knot

Zhong Meiying’s situation is basically ’irreversible and messy’, Sisi didn’t say much, just told her to think clearly, and not make a major mistake due to being upset or impulsive. The most important thing was for her to understand her own heart, regardless of her choice, being happy was what mattered the most.

"I know, I’ve come to terms now. If someone doesn’t like me, I can’t keep clinging to them obsessively. I, Zhong Meiying, am not someone who has no options. Right now, I don’t want to think about relationships, I just want to focus on my job. Sisi, I’ve made up my mind, I plan to go for further studies at university."

Her best friend had regained her usual cheerful and strong demeanor, which made Sisi very happy. Honestly, Sisi had always looked down on Meiying for loving Yuan Jin so humbly; but now, thankfully, the bright and clear Meiying was back.

"That’s the right way to think, have you decided where you want to go for further studies?"

"The provincial capital, it’s closer. I’ve already contacted the university there. I’ll attend two classes over the weekend, so it won’t affect my work," Zhong Meiying said.

Seeing that she had everything arranged, Sisi didn’t add anything more. As for Ben, Zhong Meiying said there was no need to bother about him, so Sisi took no action either.

Zhong Meiying mentioned that Ben wasn’t exactly idle during this period; being an author, he had some fame domestically, having published many articles in national magazines.

To be exact, Ben was a travel writer who started traveling since high school, recording the beautiful scenes, food, customs, and snacks of the places he visited with photos and writings, which were very popular among his compatriots.

He planned to write a series of travel essays on Z country. After tasting He Family Liquor and observing its production process, he intended to include these experiences in his articles, ready to publish once he returned home.

Sisi was surprised to learn that Ben, who looked like a boxer, was actually a writer. Truly, appearances can be deceptive.

With such a great promotional opportunity, Sisi asked Yuan Jin to fully cooperate with Ben; apart from some key processes that needed to be kept confidential, everything else could be observed and photographed by Ben.

One and a half months passed quickly, and the beer production line was fully installed and adjusted. Sisi brewed the first batch of He Family Beer using freshly harvested hops from B continent and her specially formulated beer medicine.

Sisi held up the first cup of golden, bubbly He Family Beer and drank it down in one gulp, enjoying the refreshing and excellent taste.

Marcos loved beer, and it could be said that all Germans loved beer; to them, drinking beer was like drinking water. Mr. Ma gulped down a large glass of beer, smacked his lips for a while without saying anything, then went on to pour himself a second cup, having missed good beer for days.

"The taste is very good, just a bit mild. It would be better if it were a bit richer," Ben offered some constructive advice.

"Ben, here in Z country, people prefer lighter beer. It’s the Germans like you who prefer richer beers," Sisi said with a smile.

Ben realized this too; different nationalities, different tastes. But the He Family Winery was really impressive, producing such delicious drinks. He would have to promote it well, as his goddess had requested.

Time flew like an arrow; Huang Yuan soon welcomed its first snow of the winter. Marcos had already returned to his country, and Ben went back after the snow as well, but he said he would come back soon, naturally, that statement was directed to someone specific.

Finn, however, was reluctant to return. He spent the time following Li Yuzhi around, exploring several cities, thoroughly enjoying himself and not missing home at all. Where would he find the will to go back?

Days passed neither too fast nor too slow, ushering in the prosperous year of 1987. As soon as He Family Beer hit the market, it sold out rapidly, especially during the summer. The two production lines in the workshop operated day and night, and workers busied themselves tirelessly. Trucks queued up daily at the entrance of the brewery, transporting He Family Beer all over the country.

The success of He Family Beer not only generated significant revenue for the brewery but also contributed greatly to the economic growth of Huangyuan County. Huangyuan County was no longer the impoverished place it had been three years ago. The average annual income of locals had grown from over a hundred yuan to nearly one thousand yuan, with some villages even reaching several thousand yuan, like Liu Village, which had already advanced into a moderately prosperous lifestyle.

The tremendous success of Huangyuan County added a significant highlight to Tian Xinhua’s political career, and the county had become a nationally promoted model, urging other counties and cities to learn from Huangyuan County. Due to his outstanding performance, Tian Xinhua had also been received by higher officials.

In 1988, right after Qingming, Mr. Yun instructed Tian Xinhua to prepare for a position in the south, specifically F city in G province. This time, Sisi decided not to follow him there. She planned to relocate her job back to the Capital City, as Tian Xinhua would eventually return there. Moreover, with Du Du already three years old, she wanted to spend more time with her son and the elderly at home.

By June, Tian Xinhua and Hu Dingkun had handed over their work. The same went for Sisi, though her job as an art teacher wasn’t too complicated—she just needed to wait until the school holidays.

Last month, Sisi even attended the wedding of Liu Tielan and Zeng Hongbo. Liu Tielan had recovered remarkably well, facing no issues with pregnancy and childbirth. Sisi was genuinely happy for her and wholeheartedly wished this frank and strong girl a lifetime of happiness.

Zhong Meiying and Ben, the couple who enjoyed their playful bickering, were still continuing their ambiguous relationship. Sisi decided not to interfere, as after all, they were all adults. Besides, although Ben was a few years younger than Meiying, he was very mature for his age, an insightful man.

What truly shocked Sisi was the relationship between Li Yuzhi and Finn. Finn, having followed Li Yuzhi like a puppy for two years, had indeed reaped success, though it resulted in an interesting pairing.

Finn found a soft-spoken woman in a city in the south—a married woman six years his senior. He fell in love with her at first sight, and they were now passionately involved. Sisi thought that Finn, this handsome young man, might have an Oedipal complex, subconsciously preferring older, gentler women—although his first crush had been ill-judged, as Li Yuzhi was far from a truly gentle woman and could be even harsher than a man when needed.

What further surprised Sisi was Li Yuzhi’s romantic history. This vixen had managed to hook Finn’s father, who was reportedly a British noble, albeit a minor baron. Nevertheless, he was a person of status and rank—a thin camel is still bigger than a horse after all.

Importantly, Baron Hall was wealthy and also handsome, with a strong masculine vibe. Even seeing him left Sisi utterly enchanted. Standing next to him, Finn looked like a young peach compared to a fully ripe one—easy to choose between with just your toes.

No wonder Li Yuzhi had chosen the older man over the younger!

Baron Hall, a fan of Country Z, adored everything from Country Z, including its women.

According to Finn, the men in their family favored Country Z due to the influence of the elder Baron Hall, whose wife was a woman from Country Z. However, her genetic influence on the Hall family was not significant, at least Sisi didn’t see any Country Z ancestry in Finn and his father.

Baron Hall planned to hold a traditional Chinese wedding with Li Yuzhi in Huangyuan at the He Family Winery, as Li Yuzhi claimed her maternal home was the winery and she wanted to be married from there.

Although Sisi still didn’t have a great impression of Li Yuzhi, her words moved Sisi profoundly. In an impulsive moment of generosity, she handed over a significantly large red envelope, which was indeed massive—Li Yuzhi’s bulging eyes were proof enough.

Seeing Li Yuzhi’s expression, Sisi’s bleeding heart instantly healed, and she cheerfully said, "Favors must be repaid. When my son gets married, you all need to give a bigger envelope than this."

After the wedding, Li Yuzhi moved to England with her new husband. Regarding her job at the winery, the baroness expressed that she could continue working after returning from her honeymoon, although her workplace shifted from Country Z to England.

Spreading He Family Wine to every corner of Europe became Li Yuzhi’s new life goal!

Sisi expressed that she loved this goal very much and would definitely support it to the end!
