Song Zigan appeared calmer than Liu Jingze from the start, not because he lacked Liu Jingze's depth, but because he wasn't as anxious. He didn't stop talking except for encouraging Liu Jingze.

Six days have passed since the four children were born. Today, Wang Ying and Wang Xiaoshun set off to pick up Wang Xinyi and the others.

Zhang Hongmei didn't need to explain anything to the two of them. Wang Ying came to pick up Wang Xiaoshun, and after they finished dinner, they set off. Normally, the boat would arrive in the early morning. This time of departure was just right.

It was past 1 a.m. when the two arrived at the ferry. Of course, a truck can't go as fast as a car, so Wang Ying had to wait.

"Brother Xiaoshun, we still have a long way to go."

"That's right!"

The two looked out over the sea, but still couldn't spot any lights.

"I wonder how Aunt Wang is doing?" Wang Ying asked softly, gazing at the sea.

"I really don't know that. I haven't seen Ms. Wang for many years."

"Back then, Aunt Wang and I accompanied Hongmei to Liujiatun, which was an experience I will never forget."

Aunt Wang is always so gentle and kind; it's good that the leader chose someone like her to accompany Hongmei.

Wang Xiaoshun didn't respond. Actually, the leader wasn't very satisfied with Wang Xinyi, but since the leader was willing, he didn't stop her from taking care of Hongmei.

The two only stood there for a short while. Although there was a sea breeze, there were still mosquitoes. They then got into their respective cars to wait.

Wang Ying gazed at the sea. Her mind was filled with memories of being with Zhang Hongmei back then.

Does she regret it? Wang Ying doesn't know, but she has thought more than once whether she could have gone abroad with Hongmei if she hadn't acted impulsively back then. Imagining herself going abroad, she thinks of Zeng Zhongkang.

He is generally easygoing, but he is actually very sensitive to emotions. After the two of them visited Dr. Sun last time, they sensed a change in Zeng Zhongkang's emotions.

I can't tell if he's dissatisfied with himself or with himself. But I can sense that our budding relationship has stalled.

Wang Ying shook her head, trying to convince herself not to overthink things.

Zeng Zhongkang has been gone for almost a month. I don't know when he will be able to come back.

Having met Zhang Hongmei's four sons, Wang Ying felt an even stronger urge to have a child, even if it was just one, she would be content.

It was already four o'clock when we finally saw lights on the sea in the distance.

This must be the ship Wang Xinyi and the others are on. Neither of them moved; they remained seated in the car waiting.

Wang Xinyi had already packed the belongings for the family of three, while Zhao Tiancheng carried the money bag and luggage.

They didn't wake Wang Zining either. The sea breeze was still a bit chilly at this time, so they wrapped the child in a blanket and waited for the person in charge to come and call her.

"Brother Zhao, I'm a little excited."

"Wife, I've been excited ever since I set foot on this land."

"Hehe, is that so? By the way, do you want to go back to your hometown to pay respects?"

"We'll see how it goes."

Going back is just to visit my cousins; the elders have probably all passed away. I should also burn paper money at my parents' and Haozheng's mother's graves.

Traveling with my son might be inconvenient, as the journey is quite long. I'm worried he won't be able to endure the train ride.

Once the boat came to a stop, Wang Xiaoshun and Wang Ying got out of the car with flashlights and waved a signal towards the opposite ship. They received a prompt reply.

The crew on the ship knew that someone was waiting to meet them below, so they quickly notified everyone on board to assemble.

Everyone was eager to disembark, and the closer they got to home, the more impatient they became.

Wang Xiaoshun stepped forward to hand over the duties to the staff who disembarked from the ship.

Wang Ying had already spotted Wang Xinyi on the brightly lit deck. Seeing her holding a child in her arms, she was genuinely happy for her.

The people on the ship were notified and lined up to disembark one by one.

"Aunt Wang!"

"Wang Ying? What brings you here?"

"You've come to pick you up? Give me the child. Let's get in the car quickly."

"No need, you can just lead the way. This child is quite important."

Wang Xiaoshun shook hands with Kong Yushun, and Zhao Tiancheng put the luggage in the trunk of the car and hurried over. He whispered a few words to the two bodyguards and then found Wang Xiaoshun.

Kong Yushun and his group of ten carried luggage onto the car. The two bodyguards each carried only a bag; it was very simple. Then, Zhao Tiancheng and Wang Xiaoshun shook hands as they greeted each other.

After saying goodbye to the person in charge on the ship, the two cars left.

"Aunt Wang, is this your uncle?"

"Hehe, yes, this is my husband, Zhao Tiancheng."

Brother Zhao, this is Wang Ying, whom I often mention.

The two greeted each other with smiles. "Aunt Wang, I think Uncle is better than Zhao Haozheng."

"Haha, yeah, that's why I feel that way."

"It's just that Zhao Hao is too immature."

"Hehe, your description is very apt." Zhao Tiancheng laughed. This young girl must be the one his son mentioned who helps manage the textile factory.

Wang Ying is naturally outgoing, and the awkwardness from not seeing each other for four years disappeared in no time.

"Wang Ying, how have you been these past few years? I saw Hongmei's letter; you and Zeng Zhongkang are together?"

"Yes, we got married. Aunt Wang, how's Zeng Zhongkang?"

“We lived with Zhongkang for three years. He just doesn’t like to talk, but otherwise he’s fine.”

Zhao Tiancheng held Wang Zining in his arms, the two of them sitting in the back, while Wang Xinyi sat in the passenger seat, so that Zhao Tiancheng could rest for a while.

Zhao Tiancheng watched the two people in front of him chatting happily, then leaned back and closed his eyes to rest.

"Aunt Wang, I feel that Cai Peilin is even less talkative. I don't know how Lu Yue can put up with him."

By the way, Aunt Wang, both Cheng Guangxu and Cai Peilin are married. Er Ya married Cheng Guangxu, and Cai Peilin's wife was Hongmei's former bodyguard; she even worked at the textile factory for a few months.

"They're both married? I don't have a strong impression of Er Ya, I just remember her as a shy girl. But I feel that Cheng Guangxu and Er Ya are quite a good match."

Has anything changed in Cai Peilin since she got married?

"Hehe, I don't know what he was like before. But I do know that he doesn't like to talk, even more silent than Zeng Zhongkang."

"Hehe, thinking about the three of them, I really do miss them a little."

"All three of them are currently working at the research institute. I wonder if they will be able to come back this month?"

"It's okay, I'll be staying for a few months before going back."

"That would be wonderful. I'll treat you to dinner later."

"Wang Ying, are you sleepy?"

"No problem, it'll be dawn soon, and we'll be there in a few hours. Aunt Wang, you don't need to worry about me."

"Wang Ying, how is Hongmei now?"

"Hehe, very good, you'll be terrified when you see her!" Wang Ying didn't want to tell Wang Xinyi about Hongmei giving birth; she wanted to know if she would be frightened.

"What's wrong? Why are you being so mysterious?"

"Hehe, you'd better not ask anymore. We'll see each other in a few hours."
