"They arrived at 5:30 PM, and Cheng Guangxu went to pick them up."

"Alright, I'll go there tomorrow at noon. I want to visit your house in the north."

"Hmm, we'll have lunch at home. What would you like to eat?"

"I'm fine with anything I eat. I have an important phone call coming up later, let's talk tomorrow when we meet."

Er Ya hung up the phone, feeling quite upset. Whenever there was a problem, she always turned to Hong Mei for help; it had been like this for years. She felt embarrassed. But she truly didn't know how to teach Yu Xuan.

Hongmei has professional craftsmen there; you just have to make things difficult for her.

Er Ya got up and went into her parents' room. The couple sat on the kang (a heated brick bed), because they, like their great-grandmother, were not used to sleeping in a bed, so they slept on the kang.

Er Ya also took off her shoes and climbed onto the kang (a heated brick bed). "Dad, Mom, I just called Hongmei. Let's send Yuxuan to her place. After all, she has a professional caregiver."

"Sigh! Even if you don't call, I will call Hongmei. Yuxuan is a difficult child to teach, so I can only trouble her."

"Mom, will my sister-in-law agree?"

"Actually, Jiang Yan is a pretty good person, but she's too obsessed with children. I know she's not a troublemaker, and she should be able to figure things out."

"Let's hope so. If she really doesn't want to, are we supposed to force her to stay?"

"Then we'll force them to stay," Liu Maocai said decisively.

The four children in the room are now also having problems. Chaoyang, the younger brother, is the apple of Ping An's eye. He is unhappy because Yuxuan keeps taking his toys.

Zhiyuan grew up and knew that Yuxuan was also his younger brother.

Chaoyang put down all the toys in his hands, sat down to the side and picked up a comic book.

Yu Xuan was furious when he saw that no one was paying attention to him.

So she started crying loudly. Jiang Yan immediately sat up, wanting to go and see what was wrong.

"What can you do there?" Liu Jianguo sat up and looked at Jiang Yan indifferently.

"I just went to check if Yuxuan had fallen and was crying like that."

"Don't worry about it, it can't possibly break. He's playing with his brothers, so something must have gone wrong for him."

Jiang Yan's heart ached as she listened to her son's cries. But she knew there was no point in going over there. With the children together, could she possibly stand up for him? Could she possibly scold her nephews?

Looking at your family's children, you can tell they must have been spoiled growing up too. Are your own children children, but other people's aren't?

Jiang Yan sat dejectedly on the bench.

Yu Xuan started crying, but the more he cried, the more listless he felt. No one was there to comfort him.

He sat on the side, sobbing, and continued playing the game.

Li Cuihua and the others didn't come over either. Er Ya sighed and got off the bed. She had sighed several times since the three of them came.

"You don't need to worry about them, go and rest for a while," Liu Maocai reminded Er Ya.

"Dad, I think I'll listen outside the window to see what's going on."

"What could possibly happen? Zhiyuan is here. Besides, what difference would it make if we listened?"

Er Ya went back to bed and lay down. Sure enough, the crying stopped after a while.

Er Ya lay down for half an hour, then got up again. She still had to go to the kitchen to prepare. The only family missing was Shi Tou and his wife.

"Mom, shouldn't the things for Liuxu and the baby in her belly arrive by now?"

"That's about right. This child's birthday is earlier, probably in February." Li Cuihua's face relaxed a lot when she mentioned her youngest son and his wife.

"Aunt Liu went over again this time, and this time it was just the two of them. She took good care of Liu Xu."

"Well, I've been quite fortunate in my life. I didn't have to take care of either of my daughters-in-law during their postpartum period, and I didn't have to look after Ping An either."

Cheng Guangxu returned with Ping An and Pengfei.

"Pengfei, go and study." Li Cuihua said, feeling sorry for her eldest grandson.

"Okay, Grandma, I'm going to read a book. I want to go to Aunt Hongmei's house tomorrow. I have a lot of questions I want to ask Zhenye and the others."

Li Cuihua sighed, "Pengfei, your parents are here. Wouldn't it be better if you left?"

Pengfei knew the outcome, but he still asked the question, even though he knew his idea was unrealistic.

"Grandma, I'm not going. I'll stay home and read. And my second aunt's husband and my great-aunt's husband are here too."

"Yes, your second aunt's husband and his two brothers all graduated from the Capital University. How could they not teach you?"

Pengfei smiled. Yes, there were five college students in his family, three of whom graduated from the Capital University. He felt immense pressure. In this final exam, he was only in the top ten. He wasn't even as good as Ping An, who was a younger brother who skipped a grade.

With grades like these, there's still a gap to getting into a top university in the capital. I definitely need to work harder in high school.

After Pengfei went out, the father and son also went to bed on the kang (a heated brick bed).

"Grandma, please don't put so much pressure on my older brother. He's already working very hard." Ping An knew Pengfei best. His older brother was truly incredibly diligent. If she had that kind of drive, she could definitely get first place.

Li Cuihua patted Ping An and said, "Grandma knows that too, but you should have noticed that your eldest uncle is a bit clueless. Pengfei isn't as fortunate as you brothers, so he has to work hard for everything himself."

"Mom, don't overthink it. We still have Er Ya and me, right? How could we abandon Pengfei?"

“Guangxu, I know that. You treat all the children in the family the same, and we trust you. It’s just that Pengfei has a problem. This child is suffering inside. It’s unfortunate for the child to have a father like that.”

This eldest son is truly neglectful of his eldest grandson. Before he got married, he never visited his son; now that he's married and has a son, he still doesn't come. How is the child supposed to feel?

Er Ya didn't know how to comfort the old lady. "Mom, I'm going to the kitchen. I need to prepare in advance."

Hearing the commotion in the yard, Jiang Yan hurried out and saw Er Ya working in the kitchen, so she went in as well.

"Er Ya, what should I do?"

"Sister-in-law, no need. I've already cooked the shrimp in advance. It's all small work, you don't need to do it."

"Sister-in-law, you should go and rest."

"No need, I'm not tired either. Er Ya, I have something to tell you."

"Okay, sister-in-law, sit down and talk, don't stand."

"Er Ya, I now realize my mistake. I'll have to trouble you with Yu Xuan from now on."

"No doubt about it, Yuxuan is my nephew. I'll say it again, he's a child of the Liu family."

"Yes, I really regret it now. I didn't listen to you and send Yuxuan over sooner."

"Sister-in-law, I may not be being polite, but you need to know that we are also Yuxuan's family. We would never harm him. All our strictness towards him is for his own good."

I hope my nephew will be successful in the future.

"Yes, you are all Yu Xuan's family, just like me."
