"Haha, you figured it out?"

I've actually had this idea for a while now.

It happened when Zhimeng was still young, but I was too embarrassed to bring it up at the time.

After a series of events, I became convinced that Zhimeng was the right company.

"I'd be perfectly content if Zhimeng really became my goddaughter."

Zhuang Bingqian laughed.

"Well, you've finally revealed your wolfish ambitions."

I told you so.

When Ya Ya was little, every time she saw you, you wouldn't let her leave and insisted that she stay at your house for a meal.

So you've been thinking about Yaya since she was little.

You're definitely jealous of me; you've probably been badmouthing me behind my back, haven't you?

Shang Jingshu shook his head.

"I am indeed jealous of you, but I have never spoken ill of you behind your back."

"Alright, do you think I don't know you? You've probably cursed me a lot."

If you're going to announce that you've recognized her as a relative, what do you plan to give Ya Ya?

If it's too cheap, don't bring it out; I feel bad for you.

Shang Jingshu thought for a moment.

"Old Zhuang, how about I give that piece of land in the suburbs to Zhimeng?"

Zhuang Bingqian was stunned.

Are you really willing to do that?

That's your family's ancestral property, isn't it being used by your municipal government now?

"What's there to be reluctant about?"

I gave the larger plot of land to Zhimeng, but I still have a smaller one, don't I?

The municipal government has returned that land to me, and I am free to dispose of it as I see fit.

An Tanxiao brought over the brewed tea.

Zhuang Bingqian pulled him back.

“My dear in-law, you should listen to this too.”

Old Shang is planning to adopt Ya Ya as his goddaughter. What are your opinions?

An Tanxiao looked at the two old men.

What opinions could we possibly have?

Old Shang was just like Grandpa in nature, it was just a matter of having more rituals.

That depends on Zhimeng's own thoughts.

Shang Jingshu smiled.

"So, Lao An, you don't object, and Lao Zhuang agrees?"

Zhuang Bingqian pointed to the tea.

"Hurry up and pour me some tea!"

Even if you're my godfather, you're not as high-ranking as me. I'm a legitimate grandfather.

"Hahaha, okay, I'll pour you some tea."

Shang Jingshu poured a cup of tea for An Tanxiao as well.

"Old An, talk to Zhi Meng when you get back tonight, so she can be mentally prepared and see what she thinks."

If Zhimeng agrees, we'll pick an auspicious day to formally recognize them as godparents.

"Okay, I'll tell Zhimeng about it tonight."

That evening, Zhuang Zhimeng was surprised to hear the news her father-in-law told her.

"I don't object to recognizing Grandpa Shang as my godfather."

Abo and I had originally planned to take care of Grandpa Shang in his old age.

An Qingbai echoed his wife's words from the side.

"We do have this idea."

I just didn't expect Grandpa Shang to plan to become his godparent."

Shi Meiling clapped her hands.

"I think it's better to recognize him as your godfather. That way, you'll have a reason to be filial to him in the future."

Otherwise, if you just say that you're taking care of him because he's an older friend, people will definitely have second thoughts.

An Danxiao also expressed his opinion.

"Godparents must be recognized."

Old Shang is now truly all alone.

Having a granddaughter gives him hope for the future, and keeps him from feeling so depressed.

Zhuang Zhimeng nodded.

Okay, I understand.

I'll call my grandparents and tell them what I'm thinking.

An Qingbai accompanied his wife to the phone.

Zhuang Zhimeng called and her grandfather answered.

"Grandpa, I agree to become your godparent. You don't object, do you?"

Zhuang Bingqian laughed.

I knew you would agree, Ya Ya.

Let me tell you.

Old Shang plans to give you that particularly large piece of land in the suburbs as a gift to signify your adoption as godparents.

That land is extraordinary; it's the ancestral property of the Shang family, quite large, enough to be used as a racetrack.

"Oh? Would it be appropriate for me to accept it?"

"Why is it inappropriate?"

It's perfectly normal for a godfather to give his granddaughter something.

He's already incredibly grateful that you've decided to recognize him as your godfather.

And Old Shang also owns a small piece of land.

Before Zhuang Zhimeng could say anything, Cao Wenxiu snatched the phone away.

"Yaya, Grandma also agrees to let you recognize a godparent."

Old Shang is quite pitiful; your Grandma Song helped him a lot back then.”

"Okay, Grandma."

"Grandpa can tell Grandpa Shang to arrange a date for us to go."

"OK.

I know about Old Shang's land. You should take it; he'll be even happier if you do.

"Okay, I understand."

"Yes, as long as you know it."

After hanging up with his granddaughter, Zhuang Bingqian called Lao Shang.

Shang Jingshu was very happy to hear this, and took out the calendar to prepare to choose the best day to formally recognize his godparents.

An Qingbai held his wife's hand.

"What's wrong with my wife?"

"Grandpa Shang is about to give me land again, and I suddenly realize that I have the potential to become rich overnight."

Seeing that his family wasn't around, An Qingbai smiled and kissed his wife.

"My wife became rich overnight a long time ago."

"Hehe, that's true, then I'll become a real little rich woman."

"Little Anzi, aren't you going to escort me back to my quarters?"

An Qingbai picked up his wife and tickled her.

"Look how cocky you are, honey, are you trying to fly to the moon?"

"Haha, honey, stop fooling around."

I misspoke, let's go back to sleep.

"Okay, go to sleep."

An Qingbai did not put his wife down, but carried her back into the house.

The couple whispered to each other in bed for a long time before finally falling asleep in each other's arms.
