"Yes, on such a happy day, we must not cry, we must be happy." Xie Zhi clapped his hands. "At noon, I'll treat everyone to Jiuya Restaurant. It's the best-reputed restaurant in our neighborhood. The food is delicious, the environment is great, and you have to queue to eat there in the evening, but you won't have to queue at noon."

Everyone applauded. Xiao Moran, who was originally going to the factory, decided not to go today. Instead, he went directly to Xie Zhi's house to call his assistant to arrange work. He followed Su Xiaonuan around, looking like a devoted wife.

"Dajun, Fangfang, call for help!" Chen Suqin said happily, holding her two children's hands.

"Hello, uncles and aunts," the two children said in unison.

"You've got it wrong, you've got it wrong, you should call them Grandpa and Grandma." Su Ming, Ye Mei, and Zhang Yulan waved their hands anxiously.

Dajun was fifteen and Fangfang was twelve. They were already as tall as adults. They looked at these people and thought they were younger than the elderly people in the village, so they didn't dare to call them anything and instead called them uncles and aunts.

“Dajun, Fangfang, you have to call them the same way Xiaotian and Xiaoli do. ​​You have to call these grandpas and grandmas. As for these two, you can call them uncles and aunts, but Xiaotian and Xiaoli call them godfathers and godmothers. If you want to call them that, you have to ask them for their permission first.” Xie Zhi was already very familiar with the two children. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have been able to take this family in.

"Can we call them godfather and godmother?" Dajun and Fangfang asked Xiao Moran and Su Xiaonuan for their opinions.

“Yes, of course.” Xiao Moran spoke first. “I am truly blessed to have such a great godson and goddaughter.”

"Get lost." Su Xiaonuan punched him. "Can you handle that? Dajun is already fifteen years old."

"How about I call you big brother and big sister?" Fangfang blinked her big eyes.

"No, wouldn't that create chaos?" Xie Zhi said. "You and Xiao Tian and Xiao Li are of the same generation. Xiao Tian and Xiao Li call them godfather and godmother. You don't call them that, but you can't call them brother and sister either, can you?"

“Then let’s call them Uncle or Auntie,” Xiao Nuan said. “Don’t make things difficult for the children. As soon as they arrive, you’re making it hard for them to address you. And Boss Xie, don’t let the children call you Dad. Let them call you Uncle. That way, no one will feel awkward.”

"Alright then, whatever you say." Xie Zhi still wanted the children to call him Dad. His daughter from his first marriage was a few years older than Da Jun, and he had never visited her in all these years. Perhaps it was because he had experienced life and death that he now realized the importance of family ties. His next step was to go see his biological daughter whom he had not seen for many years, the daughter he had forgotten for so long.

Just then, Lan Guangxue returned. He had already been brought back by Xie Zhi. Although Su Xiaonuan and Xiao Moran were vying to take care of him in his old age, Xie Zhi said that the person who should take care of him the most was Xie Zhi, after all, Lan Yin was his wife. So, Lan Guangxue moved into the Xie family with Xie Zhi.

Lan Guangxue now owns two houses: the one Xie Zhi gave to Li Chunxiang, and the one he bought himself. He rents out the one he bought and lives in the Yaleju one himself. Now he can stay at Xie Zhi's house whenever he wants, and go back to his own house whenever he wants. He is free and happy.

Every month, Su Xiaonuan and Xiao Moran would give him pocket money, and Xie Zhi would also give him pocket money. Even though he didn't have a pension, his income was higher than those who did. Just now in the neighborhood, Aunt Zhang even pulled him aside and tried to introduce him to a potential partner.

So, he started singing as soon as he entered the house.

"Oh, did you find some money? Why are you so happy?" Ye Mei asked.

"I'm even happier than if I found money!" Lan Guangxue smiled, looking around at the strangers in the house.

Xie Zhi introduced him to Chen Suqin, and when he heard that Xie Zhi was going to marry Chen Suqin, he wholeheartedly agreed.

Lan Guangxue and Xie Zhi were sworn brothers, and of course he hoped that Xie Zhi would find a good home. Chen Suqin was a kind-hearted woman who was good to the children, and she was indeed the best choice for Xie Zhi to marry.

"This is truly a win-win situation," Lan Guangxue said to everyone. "Aunt Zhang from the neighborhood also introduced me to a partner. She's retired from the textile factory and has a son. We've hit it off. When the time comes, I won't need you to take care of this lonely old man. As long as that woman's son is filial to us, my two houses will belong to him after I die."

“Aunt Zhang’s recommendation is reliable, I think this method will work.” Zhang Yulan and Aunt Zhang are good friends, and she absolutely trusts Aunt Zhang’s character. Besides, Aunt Zhang knows everything about Lan Guangxue. She tells everyone about Lan Guangxue’s selfless act of saving five children.

Therefore, Lan Guangxue, this lonely old man, became the most sought-after person in the neighborhood, and many women wanted to be his companion.

"Then go and invite Aunt Zhang and that woman over. Let us give you our opinion. I'll treat everyone to dinner at a restaurant later." Xie Zhi was also happy for him. "If it's convenient, invite that woman's son over too. Xiao Nuan and Moran are the best at judging people. Let them see if he's after your house."

Xie Zhi was tricked by the woman, and now he is most afraid of being schemed against by women, which is why he asked Lan Guangxue to invite that woman and her son over.

"Wait here, I'm going to find Aunt Zhang right now. That woman is definitely still at Aunt Zhang's house." Lan Guangxue took a few steps and then turned back to say. "But don't go too far. That woman and I have taken a liking to each other. As for her son, even if he's after my house, it doesn't matter. We have two houses, I'll give him one, and we'll live in the other. We can't take worldly possessions with us when we're born, and we can't take them with us when we die. As long as we're happy while we're alive, that's enough."

Half an hour later, Lan Guangxue arrived with the woman and her son, and of course, Aunt Zhang, the matchmaker, also came.

They were all old acquaintances, and they chatted warmly as soon as they met.

"This is my good friend Guilan, and this is Guilan's son Haoyu," Aunt Zhang introduced to everyone. "Since we all know each other so well, I won't beat around the bush. Guilan is a widow and a woman with a tragic life. She took care of a bedridden man for more than ten years. He passed away five years ago, and she has moved on from the past. Haoyu also agreed that she should find a partner again. Fortunately, I know about Guilan's situation, so I wanted to help them get together."

"Great!" Everyone applauded and cheered. Putting everything else aside, just the fact that this woman had served her bedridden husband for more than ten years showed that she must be a virtuous and kind woman. Couples are supposed to be like birds in the same forest, flying away when disaster strikes, but she didn't. Instead, she took meticulous care of him for more than ten years. It's not easy.

Actually, at first, they really wanted to check on Lan Guangxue, fearing that the other party was really after his property and money. You know, Xiao Moran and Xie Zhi deposited 100 yuan into his account every month, and even more on holidays, making him much richer than those who received only a few dozen yuan in pension.

Even if the mother and son had ulterior motives, no one would care. Just like Lan Guangxue said, as long as they are filial to them, the house and money after their death will all be theirs. What's the point of having so much material wealth? It's not bad to have a son by their side who is filial to them.
