Zhang Hongmei wrote back to both of them, and both letters contained information about the child.

The letter to Huang Meihua focused on inquiring about the situations of Annie and Daniel.

Although pregnancy, childbirth, and breastfeeding have lessened my longing for Daniel, I still think of him from time to time. I no longer shed tears when I think of him; it's true that I can't let go.

After writing the letter, Zhang Shouyi was responsible for putting it in an envelope and sealing it.

Finally, there was the recording of Annie and Daniel. When Zhang Hongmei heard the word "Mom," tears streamed down her face.

"Wife, you can't be sad. How about we let them come and see you?"

“Brother Zhang, we have a video recorder. You can record it for me. We don’t know how to burn the discs, so we can let them take the video recorder back directly.”

"Okay. Shall we start now?"

"Yes, starting now, there are four more children, and we also need to show them to the two sisters."

Zhang Shouyi was unconvinced. To be honest, he wasn't particularly close to even his four children, who were his own flesh and blood. Only Zhang Hongmei had truly entered his heart.

Actually, it's very simple. Zhang Shouyi fiddled with it for a bit and mastered it.

The half-hour session consisted of Zhang Hongmei giving instructions to the two sisters and introducing them to the fact that they now had four younger brothers.

Every child was recorded. And the third child even opened his eyes and smiled at the video camera.

It's quite a novelty that a seven-day-old baby can laugh.

Zhang Shouyi marveled at the sight. Zhang Hongmei called Lu Jing over and asked her to help gather the family of six in front of the camera.

"Honey, take out the packaging box and let's put it in directly."

Zhang Hongmei still felt it wasn't enough, so while Zhang Shouyi was packing, she recorded the two sisters' conversation with a voice recorder.

All the letters were placed in the VCR's case, and then wrapped in many layers of packaging. Finally, the three games and five scripts that had been previously researched were put together in a leather bag.

After the couple finished all that, their four children got hungry again.

Early the next morning, Wang Xiaoshun took the gifts Zhang Hongmei had given to Annie and Daniel, a leather bag containing two ginseng roots, and a leather bag containing a video camera to Xinyuan.

Today, Wang Ying drove Lu Xing here to report the textile factory's accounts to Zhao Tiancheng. So the three of them ran into each other.

Zhao Tiancheng, acting as translator, explained that both packages were for Huang Meihua. He also mentioned that Wang Xiaoshun would be bringing people to see the two off the next morning.

That evening, Wang Xinyi smiled mysteriously.

"Honey, what's making you so happy?"

"Brother Zhao, what do you think of this young girl, Lu Xing?"

"Lu Xing? Very good, beautiful, smart, and steady."

"Yes, you summarized it very well. I was asking if Haozheng would like her? By the way, this child is an orphan adopted by Old Master Gu, and is Hongmei's bodyguard."

"Haozheng and Luxing?"

"Yes, I quite like this girl. She's not spoiled, she's poised and generous, and she doesn't have the sharp edge that Wang Ying and the others have."

"I must say, you have a good eye. But Haozheng has to like her first. And judging from this young lady, she should be Hongmei's chief accountant, right? Is Hongmei willing to let her go?"

"If Haozheng takes a liking to her, and the young lady is also interested, Hongmei will definitely help her make it happen."

"Let's go back at the end of the year and have Haozheng come over in person. Hasn't Haozheng met you before?"

"I really don't know, I'll ask Hongmei tomorrow."

"I'm leaving tomorrow. You two stay here and be careful."

"Don't worry, there won't be any problems. How long are you planning to stay?"

"I should be back within a month at the latest."

“Okay, come back. Let’s go pay respects to my family, and then the three of us will go pay respects to my parents-in-law.”

"Yes, I'll try to get back as early as possible, but I don't know if Wang Ying's schedule will allow it? If Zeng Zhongkang comes back, won't he be interfering with the couple's get-together?"

"I'll call Wang Ying in a bit and ask. If it doesn't work out, you'll have to drive yourself, or try to come back in twenty days."

"Hmm, I'll ask Wang Ying later."

The couple discussed it, while Liu Jingze and Song Zigan arrived at the gate of the compound, looking travel-worn.

The two drove directly into the yard, got out of the car and went into the living room. Everyone had just finished eating and was still there, even Zhou Shixiong hadn't left.

Zhang Shouyi raised an eyebrow as he looked at the two people who came in, but said nothing.

"Grandma, Mom, how is Hongmei? Is the baby alright?"

"Hongmei is fine. You two go wash up first, and come over for dinner later." The old lady didn't treat herself as an outsider at all, and ignored Zhang Shouyi beside her.

Zhang Xingguo instructed Wang Xiaoshun to take them to the next room for accommodation.

"Sister Jiang, your great-grandson is quite an extraordinary person; he'll be remarkable in the future."

"What kind of person is he? Just someone who can make a living, and hopefully won't end up like me."

Zhou Shixiong met with a rebuff in a neither forceful nor soft manner, but he did not show any anger or embarrassment.

Hu Aifen went to the kitchen to cook for the two of them. The atmosphere in the living room was a bit strange; Zhang Shouyi didn't leave, he just sat there.

It was getting late, so Li Chang'en pushed Zhou Shixiong back home.

There are no outsiders in the living room now; everyone there is someone I know well.

"Grandma, you called Liu Jingze back, did you make a decision?" Zhang Shouyi asked with a smile, but his eyes held no smile and even a hint of sarcasm.

"Yes, I've taken a liking to the third son, but after all, he'll be Jingze's adopted son in the future, so he has to make the decision himself."

"The third brother?"

"Yes, it's the third brother."

"Hehehe, okay, the third one it is."

The old lady really disliked Zhang Shouyi's sarcastic smile, but she didn't say anything else at this moment.

Everyone knew Zhang Shouyi was unhappy and unwilling. But the old lady didn't give him a chance to back out. She made the decision directly and even called Liu Jingze back.

Zhang Shouyi thought bitterly, "So what if he's an adopted son? I don't believe that I, his biological father, can't win over my third son's heart."

The two returned a quarter of an hour later. Each of them ate a large bowl of chicken noodle soup, and afterwards they were restless.

The old lady got up, and Hu Aifen followed behind her. A little while later, she brought out four children.

The two of them jumped to their feet, Liu Jingze staring greedily at the four children. Especially the third one, how could he look so much like Zhang Hongmei?

Gu Chuanming clung to Lao Si's side, teasing him, but what could a seven-day-old baby possibly know?

Zhang Shouyi coughed lightly. "It's getting chilly tonight. Let's hurry and carry him inside."

Liu Jingze sat on the sofa, staring blankly at the four children.

"Liu Jingze, which of my sons do you think is suitable to be your adopted son?"

"Third brother, the third brother is my adopted son, Liu Jingze."

"Okay, then it'll be the third one." Zhang Shouyi said, then got up and went to his room.
