The sixth brother is usually quiet, but he has a knack for getting things done.

He is the backbone of the children, and he looks a lot like his second uncle.

The seventh child was the most talkative of all the kids, chattering away all day long.

However, he is the most opinionated one, and he must accomplish whatever he sets his mind to.

If the children are strong-willed, they will do everything to the best of their ability.

She's also the most mischievous of the children, just like her father was when he was a kid.

Xiao Ba is very similar to Mo Yucheng, with the same demeanor as his father back then, but he's not very mischievous.

He has a bit of an old-fashioned scholar vibe, is taciturn and rarely speaks to people he doesn't know well.

Xiao Jiu is also the older sister among the girls, a fiery and energetic girl, with no trace of the gentleness of a typical girl.

She is definitely a quick learner when it comes to self-defense techniques, and she is always the most serious when it comes to practicing.

She speaks in the sweetest way, like she's coated in honey, and she has everyone completely charmed.

The old men in the family love seeing her the most, and they say caring things to her every day.

They coaxed her so much that they would bring her good things every day to feed this sweet-talking girl.

Song Yining was most helpless about this child, not knowing who the child took after.

She was the kind of person that gave Song Yining a real headache, making her want to hide whenever she saw her.

They chattered incessantly, their mouths constantly busy talking.

Her hands were never idle either; she was constantly causing trouble, and you had to clean up her messes afterward.

Despite their young age, they come here almost every few days.

That feeling was truly indescribable.

She's even more mischievous than her brother; she's practically lawless.

She knows to behave herself when she sees her mother, but she keeps acting cute and affectionate when she sees her father.

Knowing that she's spoiled at home, that guy knows how to read the situation.

She was so angry that no one saw her, but the elders in her family spoiled her.

Xiao Shi is a little more well-behaved than her older sister, just a tiny bit.

She's very perceptive, which is different from her older sister's love of challenges; these two sisters have completely different personalities.

My younger sister is a little more composed, but only a tiny bit, that's all.

She's always involved in the trouble her older sister gets into, leaving everyone helpless.

Xiao Shi really does look like Shen Zhiming and his wife; her maternal grandparents love this clever little girl the most.

Every time they get into trouble, it's their maternal grandparents. After knowing each other for many years, the couple knew that Ke must have done something wrong.

As time went on, Song Yining no longer wanted to see the girl she longed for.

He was even more mischievous than his older and younger brothers, and was known at school for always rushing ahead.

I haven't had to worry about any of the children who are still studying; they've been very ambitious since they were little.

When it comes to supervising their studies, Song Yining rarely checks what they're doing.

As they grow older, individuals develop clear directions and goals based on their actual circumstances.

They need to inform their family members in advance about what they are going to do.

As I watched the children grow up day by day, Song Yining's film and television career also flourished.

It is not as prosperous as in later generations, but it is much better than before.

Mo Yucheng has now been promoted to division commander and rarely does missions, but he is still very busy.

Over the years, the two of them have always had a tacit understanding, knowing that every wife is different.

His ambition motivated him to work even harder so as to provide his wife with a stable and peaceful home.

With her children past the age of clinging to their parents, Song Yining was busy with her own career.

Every weekend, without fail, I take a break so that I can spend time with them.

To ensure that the children do not lack a childhood, and to see several cheerful and lively children.

This was her hope in this life: to have many people who love her in this world.

The children are relatively obedient, and their independence is cultivated from a young age.

The children all did a good job; they supported each other.

Xiao Shiyi followed in his grandparents' footsteps, and his growth in the gifted youth program made him feel grounded every day.

Since his great-uncle passed away, he has become a completely different person.

Recalling the stories his great-uncle had told him since he was a child, he knew that he had sacrificed too much time and emotion for the peace of the country.

Because of their love for each other, they failed to keep their appointment on time, and thus parted ways.

Little Eleven was very sensible and listened quietly to the old man talking to himself.

I never inquired about the old man's affairs, but I was a good listener.

During his childhood, his parents knew he was dull, so they encouraged him to read to pass the time.

Instead of being disappointed, they faced the situation head-on and found him many books.

The books from Si Qingli's uncle's side were his favorite to read.

He never has time to go in, unless his family restricts the time he can go in.

He felt that he didn't want to sleep at all, except when he was eating, drinking, or relieving himself.

Looking at the books on various categories, I recalled my great-uncle's words.

He knew that the woman he loved was a remarkable person back then.

However, because he devoted himself to the revolutionary cause, he had to separate from his beloved.

She left her homeland, given a choice at the time, but Tang Jian'an hesitated.

He selfishly chose to serve his country, and that's how the two lovers parted ways.

For decades, the old man had actually hesitated, wondering why he had answered so quickly back then.

If I had tried to persuade her to stay back then, she might have softened and stayed.

This was just his final expectation; he was still too young and his thinking was too simplistic.

What's missed is missed, and there's no going back now.

From then on, Tang Jian'an treated everyone the same, avoiding what he wanted to see, and living a carefree life on his own.

He knew many people were eyeing his position and wanted to be his wife, but the woman just wouldn't leave him.

He was described as a cold-hearted person, yet he often helped the soldiers stationed there.

Nobody understood what he was doing, let alone how he came up with the idea.

When I decided to come back, I mustered up a lot of determination.

He never expected to find news of his sister.

Looking at my sister's granddaughter and the other children, I felt like I was back in my childhood home.

I inexplicably found myself back in the courtyard where I lived as a child, and it all felt unreal that day.

Sleeping in a familiar room, even though the furniture was restored very closely, he knew that this place was a thing of the past.

It's a kind of fate that I was able to move in, and it also put an end to the loneliness I've felt for the past few decades.

Watching the children play every day, he felt as if he had returned to his childhood, to the scene of playing with his younger sister.

He hadn't thought about his parents for decades, but recently he'd been seeing them frequently, and he felt that his days were numbered.

In his final days, he cherished every day and talked to Xiao Shiyi about his past experiences every day.

I finally told Xiao Shiyi something I'd been holding back for decades, and it made me feel so much better.
