Shen Guoliang and Tang Yanran were discussing matters with Ji Shubo.

After finishing my work, I quickly made time to come to Ningyuan to see my granddaughter and daughter-in-law.

Ningyuan was already waiting, and Mo Yuming told them about the situation there.

The two families had been looking forward to this for a long time, and it marked their first meeting in twenty years.

Shen Guoliang and Tang Yanran were also very nervous sitting in the car, looking at the familiar yet unfamiliar place.

They were both saddened, having left this place twenty years ago.

When I returned, many people were gone, but I watched as the streets slowly came back to life.

Presumably, as my granddaughter said, China will become a force to be reckoned with by those countries in the future.

Tang Yanran looked at the familiar place, her heart filled with complex emotions.

My family members all passed away years ago, and I don't know where my eldest brother is.

During the years of war, all the family's money was donated.

During those years of constant war, Tang Yanran never saw her brother-in-law again after marrying Shen Guolang.

After the country was pacified, they tried to find their brother, but there was no news at all.

As Tang Yanran walked into the familiar alley, she immediately became restless. Shen Guoliang noticed his wife's unease.

"What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell, or is something the matter? You'll see your granddaughter soon."

"Seeing familiar places reminds me of the time I spent with my brother when I was a child."

Shen Guoliang knew that his wife's hometown was in Beijing, and that her family might have a house here.

It's worth noting that the Tang family was very wealthy in the capital at the time, and they were among the first to donate all of their assets.

The Tang family had all participated in the revolution during the war years ago, leaving only the brother and sister behind.

After his sister got married, Tang Jian'an resolutely devoted himself to the revolution.

Tang Yanran had no contact with her sister for years and had not been able to find any trace of her brother.

Looking at this familiar place, Tang Yanran couldn't help but think of her brother.

Shen Guoliang could only silently watch over his wife, patting her back and telling her to take care of her health.

"Alright, let's look again when we get back. Maybe my brother-in-law is in that place."

Don't worry, your brother-in-law has a very auspicious face; good people are always blessed. He's definitely still alive and well.

"Yeah, it's just that I see familiar streets. It seems like this place hasn't changed much over the years. I feel like my house is right here."

"Okay, let's see if there are any residents here. If we have the chance to buy it back this time, we'll do so, so that you'll have something to look forward to."

"Yes, I have many childhood memories."

When the car arrived at the entrance of Ningyuan, Tang Yanran quickly composed herself, her earlier sadness gone.

Shen Guoliang quickly got out of the car to help his wife, and Mo Yuming and Ji Shubo also got out.

Tang Yanran quickly composed herself before getting out of the car with the old man.

Grandpa and Grandma Song, along with the Mo family elders, were standing outside the door, eagerly awaiting their arrival.

When the elderly couple from the Shen family got out of the car, Old Master Song's eyes were also filled with tears.

Shen Guoliang was also feeling bad, looking at his old friend's aged face.

They've all grown old, no longer in their early forties; they're now elderly men and women.

"Brother, you've worked hard all these years," Shen Guoliang said, looking at Old Master Song with a sigh.

They walked together toward the second courtyard of Ningyuan, and Tang Yanran looked at the familiar layout.

This is a bit surprising; he walked very fast and lost his former composure.

Seeing the familiar layout, I walked into the secluded garden.

Everyone was baffled by Tang Yanran's outburst.

Shen Guoliang quickly came over and pulled his wife aside, asking, "Yanran, what's wrong?"

Tang Yanran finally came to her senses and saw that her husband was already sobbing uncontrollably.

"Ah Liang, this is where I lived when I was a child. Nothing much has changed. It feels very familiar as soon as I came in." Tang Yanran looked at her husband with tears streaming down her face.

"That's fate. This place is your granddaughter's now. Isn't that destiny?"

The old lady nodded and quickly took out a handkerchief to wipe her tear-stained face.

He looked at everyone with an embarrassed expression and apologetic look.

"I was a little flustered when I saw familiar places, please don't mind. It's been twenty years since we last met, and seeing you all here now makes me feel much more at ease."

"Alright, sister-in-law, it's all fate. Ningning is still inside, let's go in and not keep her waiting."

The old lady, still in shock, quickly tidied herself up and went to check on her granddaughter's health.

"That's right, don't keep our granddaughter waiting, let's go in quickly."

After saying that, she was also anxious to see her granddaughter, and she sighed at the child's health.

Both pregnancies were triplets. Pregnancy is very tiring; even carrying just one child is difficult.

The granddaughter had three children, and one can only imagine the suffering she endured—a suffering that most people could not bear.

"That's right, Ningning is getting anxious when she sees that we're not going in for a long time."

They didn't linger outside and quickly headed towards the living room.

Song Yining was also waiting for her grandparents to arrive, and she was very much looking forward to it.

Because of blood ties, I was also very happy to think about my grandparents' arrival.

After a large group of people came in, they saw Song Yining sitting there looking out the door.

Looking at her granddaughter's huge belly, Tang Yanran felt uneasy.

As she spoke, "Grandpa and Grandma" prepared to get up.

"Don't move, Grandpa and Grandma, come here. Sit down and we'll be right there."

Hearing what her grandmother said, Song Yining stopped moving; she decided it was best not to stand up too easily.

I had no intention of sitting up again; with so many people around, it was better not to cause any more trouble.

After they sat down, they began to share their experiences over the years.

"My dear in-laws, it's all fate. We didn't have a daughter back then, and it's always been a regret of ours."

But fate is a strange thing; we ended up becoming in-laws.

"Alas! It's a pity my granddaughter married your youngest son." Shen Guoliang was also unhappy, but he put on airs again.

"Look, this guy is just resentful; he's even getting angry with Daji now."

"We understand these things; we didn't expect the two children to be together."

"That means it's fate. How have you all been these years?"

"Having witnessed the changes around me along the way, I believe things will only get better in the future."

"Brother Song and his wife, you've worked so hard all these years."

If it weren't for your care, I don't know how Neng Neng would have survived all those years.

That troublesome kid in our family should have insisted on staying with us back then.

The Shen couple, who lived in a remote mountain village in Shaanxi Province, sneezed repeatedly, initially thinking it was due to the cold weather and that they had caught a cold.

Actually, it was their parents who were scolding them, calling them an unreliable couple.

They couldn't even protect their own daughter. Over the years, it must have been hard on Song Jia and her husband, as well as Song's nephew and niece-in-law.
