They weren't hothouse flowers, so they adapted very quickly.

Every Friday night, Zhang Zhenye and Zhang Weiyu would go back with Daniel. On Saturdays and Sundays, the three brothers would go to work at the group company together, where each of them had an office and an assistant.

As soon as they arrived, Zhao Haozheng took a long vacation.

As a result, Zhenye and his colleague had no choice but to work every night, with endless documents to approve, just like they were back in China.

They would definitely call home every week, and gradually the three elderly people got used to it.

The four of them were not at home for the first Spring Festival. Although Xiao Wu helped to liven up the atmosphere, it was not as happy as in the past. It had been 1983, and the world had developed so rapidly.

Zhang Shouyi is extremely busy right now, but no matter how busy he is, he always leaves work on time.

He deeply realized that nothing is more important than family.

This year, Xiao Wu and his two friends will also be going up the mountain, along with Xiang Dong and Xiang Bei.

Zhang Hongmei originally didn't want the three children to leave, fearing that the three elderly people wouldn't be able to adapt. However, Gu Chuanming and the old lady both agreed.

The couple discussed it and decided to give the remaining three rings to their sons today. They had given the rings to Zhenye and his sons when they were eight years old.

Xiao Wu and his two friends are now over six years old. So what if they were given the money? There's no need to worry about them telling anyone or anything going on.

Xiao Wu and his two friends were overjoyed to receive the treasure, but they just couldn't bring themselves to say it.

Afterwards, Zhang Shouyi made the three of them swear an oath, which made the operation even safer.

Zhang Hongmei also dripped blood onto the rings of all three of them, so that she could help the children if they weren't around, and save them in times of danger.

The couple then taught them the cultivation method. The three of them were indeed in good physical condition. With the help of a cup of spiritual spring water, they were able to draw qi into their bodies overnight.

The three children were like they had found a new and exciting toy, and they didn't find it boring at all.

"Mom, it's the green spiritual energy that entered my body."

"Aren't there any other colors?"

"there is none left."

"Then remember, you have a wood-attribute spiritual root."

My uncle smiled and said, "Mom, mine is brown."

"Then you have an earth-attribute spiritual root."

"Mom, mine is red."

"Xiao Qi has a fire-attribute spiritual root."

Now that's good, no one in the family is without spiritual roots.

Actually, the couple was overthinking it. The child had been using spiritual spring water since before birth, so how could he not have spiritual roots? Moreover, he had been undergoing marrow cleansing and tendon strengthening almost constantly since birth. Otherwise, they wouldn't have been able to draw qi into his body so quickly.

Zhang Shouyi then made the three men swear an oath not to reveal the secret of the cultivation technique.

"You three, remember this: this is extremely dangerous. I think even with my current identity, if someone like this really has their eye on it, there's nothing I can do. So, you three must be careful and absolutely cannot let anyone find out. Also, you can't use it outside. You can't practice it in front of outsiders."

All three children nodded. They could also distinguish the importance of things.

When Zhang Shouyi went to work, Zhang Hongmei told them about the ability to recall them in case of danger.

"If there is any danger to your life, you must let me know, and Mom will find a way."

Xiao Wu held Zhang Hongmei's hand and asked, "Mom, is this bad for your health?"

Zhang Hongmei nodded with relief. "It's definitely not good for me, but the seven of you are my life, and I will never let you be in danger."

In fact, Zhang Hongmei has been grateful more than once that this function exists. She doesn't hope to be able to use it, but it is a guarantee.

After the fifteenth, the five of them went up the mountain. Gu Chuanming and Zhang Xingguo wanted to go, but Zhang Hongmei refused, saying that Gu Chuanming was already 103 years old and could not go up the mountain.

"Grandpa, you can just stay home and look after Xiangting, Zhiming, Yuhui, and Yuxuan."

Gu Chuanming had no choice but to nod. He knew he couldn't act impulsively, so he would listen to Hongmei.

Zhang Hongmei now works from home every day, remotely managing multiple companies. She is extremely busy.

Time flew by and it was already the end of 1983. The old lady's health was really failing. Although Zhang Hongmei gave the old lady the Lingquan water again, it had no effect.

The old lady is now 108 years old and feels that she has lived a worthwhile life. Holding Zhang Hongmei's hand, she said, "Hongmei, I can hold on for a few more days. Please take me back to Liujiatun. I want to die there."

"Grandma." Zhang Hongmei's tears streamed down her face uncontrollably.

The old lady looked at Zhang Hongmei, who still looked as young as ever, and smiled. "Hongmei, I'm already very content to have lived this long. Let's go."

"Okay, Grandma, Chang Yuan has gone to pick up Xiao Wu and the others. I'll arrange for Lu Jing to arrange a plane for us to go back. I'll go back with you."

In fact, Liu Changhe and his wife were just putting on a brave face, afraid that their mother wouldn't be able to accept it. Now that they saw their mother like this, the couple, both over eighty years old, seemed to have had all their energy drained away.

"Grandpa, Grandma, you should at least see my great-grandmother off, shouldn't you?"

Liu Changhe smiled and said, "Hongmei, don't worry, your aunt and I can both hold on."

Liu Aimin has already called Liu Jingze and Liu Jingxiang. Bai Xue is going to pick up Yu Hui and the others.

Zhang Shouyi was startled when he received the call. His wife rarely cried, but she was very upset to hear that the old lady was dying. "Wife, I'll go back with you."

"Well, you don't need to now. Just come and meet the old lady. Once you've really left, you can take a plane there. After all, you really can't get away."

"Okay, I'll be right there."

Gan Lu was standing nearby, worried that Zhang Hongmei might be uncomfortable. "Madam, you can't be too sad. Everything is still waiting for you to arrange."

"Yes, I know, don't worry. Go home now, pack Xiao Wu and the others' clothes, and also tell my grandpa and the others."

Lu Jing made the arrangements; one plane simply couldn't accommodate everyone, and Liu Maocai's entire family also needed to go back.

Zhang Shouyi came over and held the old lady's hand. "Don't worry, I will definitely take good care of Hongmei and the children."

The old lady gave a slight smile and said, "Okay."

Zhang Shouyi felt uncomfortable looking at the old man, but no one can stop the cycle of birth, aging, sickness, and death.

After arranging things at home, Liu Jingze and his brother all set off in the afternoon. Even Er Lengzi and his wife drove back. Everyone from Liujiatun who was outside was notified.

Before leaving, Zhang Hongmei still arranged for someone to pick up Liu Changhai. No matter what, they had to let the mother and son see each other one last time. She couldn't let the old lady die with regrets.
