"Wife, this is fine too."

"It's very tiring to hold a baby like this."

"It's okay, I can manage."

"You can do it, but the child will also feel tired."

"Why don't we give it a try?" Zhang Shouyi looked at his beautiful wife, as lovely as a peach blossom, beside him, and he was starting to lose control again. No matter, there were still a few days left. Soon he would be free.

Aunt Yang and the others outside heard the child crying, but Zhang Shouyi was inside, so no one dared to knock on the door. Unless the leader opened the door and called for someone, they could only wait outside.

The old lady hated Zhang Shouyi the most and wanted to go into the house, but Gu Chuanming stopped her.

"Sister, their parents are in there, how could they possibly mistreat their child?"

Zhang Xingguo quickly tried to comfort the old lady, saying he had to say something nice about his son.

An hour later, the couple had served four children, and Zhang Shouyi even helped with washing their bottoms and changing their diapers, without needing Aunt Yang or the others' help.

"Brother Zhang, Annie and Daniel will be sleeping with me tonight."

"What? They're here tonight to take my wife for themselves?"

"They are all still young."

Zhang Shouyi was extremely dissatisfied, but he didn't show it. He let them stay with his wife for the next few days, otherwise he was afraid he wouldn't be able to control himself. Once his wife finished her postpartum confinement, no one else would be allowed to stay, not even the four children; they would all have to move out.

Zhang Hongmei didn't know what Zhang Shouyi was thinking, and even if she did, it wouldn't change anything. This guy usually seemed to listen to her every word, but when it came to things he cared about, he would never back down. That's just the kind of person he was.

The children were all awake, so the three elderly people came in to see them. But Zhang Hongmei absolutely refused to let them hold her.

"Grandpa, I've already told you, we can't spoil them like this. When they get older, they won't be able to get down on their own anymore and will always need someone to carry them."

"We have people on our side."

"Grandpa, it won't work even if there are other people around."

Seeing his granddaughter's resolute attitude, Gu Chuanming reluctantly withdrew his hand.

Honestly, I can only watch. I can't even hug her.

"You four should grow up quickly and walk soon, then we won't listen to your mother anymore."

Zhang Hongmei was speechless. She knew she had to be stricter with Zhang Shouyi from now on. She had been hoping he would be a strict father, but that was unlikely.

It was almost nine o'clock, and the four children were making a fuss again, so the three elderly people had to go to the living room. After all, guests were coming over soon, and they couldn't just go back to their own rooms now. The two children were Hongmei's godson and goddaughter, so they had to wait.

Zhang Hongmei fed the children again. Only after they all fell asleep did Zhang Hongmei have time.

She closed the door, took the four children into the space, quickly took a shower, changed her clothes, and then brought the four of them out.

Wang Ying and the others have already entered the capital. Annie and Daniel haven't slept at all because they were so anxious.

"Aunt Wang Ying, it's getting so dark, when will we get there?"

"You'll definitely see your mother in half an hour."

Only after having a confirmed time did Annie finally feel relieved.

The car pulled up to the gate, and Lao Jin looked at it before opening the gate to let them into the yard. But the truck couldn't get in.

Zhang Hongmei vaguely heard the commotion outside and wanted to go out to greet them, but Zhang Shouyi stopped her.

"Wife, Zhao Tiancheng and his wife are outside, so you don't need to worry. Come on, let's go to the living room to wait." Zhang Shouyi put a hat on Zhang Hongmei, leaving Su Chen and Lu Jing to take care of the child.

Before she even left the house, Hu Aifen and the old lady arrived. With the four of them there, Zhang Hongmei felt much more at ease.

When they arrived at the living room, Wang Ying led them in as well.

When Annie saw Zhang Hongmei, she immediately ran over and hugged Zhang Hongmei's waist, saying, "Mom, Mom, I'm so glad to see you again."

"Annie, baby, my baby, Mommy misses you, misses you so much." The two hugged each other and cried. Annie is now over 1.3 meters tall and is no longer the little girl she used to be.

Daniel ran over and hugged Zhang Hongmei's leg.

They both saw him. Zhang Hongmei knelt down and picked up Daniel. "Baby, can you still recognize Mommy?"

The child's tears streamed down his face because Zhang Hongmei had fed him the spiritual spring water, so he was particularly fond of Zhang Hongmei's scent. Of course, he was also smarter than others.

"Mommy, Mommy, Mommy."

"Yes, Daniel, my baby." The mother and son hugged each other and cried again.

Looking at his wife like this, Zhang Shouyi felt uneasy.

He walked up to Huang Meihua and the others. He extended his hand to Beth. "Hello, Mr. Beth McKen, I am Zhang Shouyi, Zhang Hongmei's husband."

"Hello, in this setting, I won't address you as 'leader,' sorry to bother you."

Zhang Shouyi smiled gently, "Of course. Please have a seat. It will probably take Hongmei a while to react."

"Hello, welcome!" Zhang Shouyi shook hands with Huang Meihua again.

Huang Meihua sighed inwardly, realizing that seeing the real person made her understand that her Carlos was no match for him in any aspect.

"Sorry to bother you."

"You don't need to be so polite. Just let me know if you need anything."

Huang Meihua simply smiled and nodded. However, Beth and the other man did not sit down, but instead looked at the two elderly people.

Zhang Shouyi readily shared his knowledge with them.

"This is Hongmei's grandfather, Gu Chuanming. This is my father, Zhang Xingguo."

Beth shook hands with Gu Chuanming. "Hello. I never knew that the grandfather Hongmei always talks about was so kind."

"Haha, welcome, and thank you very much for taking care of this girl."

"Hehe, you're too kind. We didn't do anything. Hongmei is so sensible; we didn't need to take care of her at all."

He then shook hands with Zhang Xingguo and expressed his gratitude once again.

Huang Meihua shook hands with Gu Chuanming. "You probably don't recognize me, but I remember you. I was young then, and what impressed me most about you were your gossip."

Gu Chuanming was taken aback. He looked closely at Huang Meihua. He remembered the Huang family, but he had absolutely no recollection of this woman.

"I really don't remember. I only have some impression of your Huang family."

"Of course. When you were at the height of your fame, I was only a few years old. I saw you at a banquet at your residence."

"Haha, you're so good at talking. Back then, my glory was just attracting cats and dogs. Sit down quickly."

While they reminisced, the mother and her three children finally calmed down a bit.

Zhang Hongmei, holding the hands of her two children, also walked over here.

"Hongmei, you shouldn't be out of confinement yet?"

"Godmother, I'll be out of confinement in three days. I'm healthy, I'll be fine."

“You don’t cherish yourself,” Huang Meihua said with a sigh.
