Chapter 1425 Happy Event

Zhang Zhenye raised an eyebrow. "I'm telling the truth."

The nanny, who was specifically there to take care of the new mother, brought over some hot water. "Young Master, would you mind leaving for a moment? I need to wipe down the young mistress's body. She'll be trying to breastfeed the baby soon."

Zhang Zhenye looked at Yang Lijun and saw his wife staring at him firmly, so he had no choice but to leave.

He heard the noise and knew that his three sisters-in-law had also given birth, but he didn't know if they had the granddaughter his mother was hoping for.

Zhang Zhenye came out and went straight into the living room, greeting everyone with a smile. Then he sat down opposite his mother.

"How is Lijun?" Zhang Hongmei asked.

"Mom, Lijun is doing well. The nanny is helping with the washing and said she'll try feeding the baby later."

"Okay, that's good. There's food left for you in the kitchen."

Zhang Zhenye smiled and shook his head, "Mom, I'm not hungry, I don't want to eat."

At this moment, the other three brothers also came in. They greeted everyone and sat down next to the eldest brother.

Looking at his four sons, Zhang Shouyi realized that from this day forward they had truly grown up.

"Mom, you only have grandsons?" Zhang Weiyu asked his mother with a smile.

Zhang Hongmei rolled her eyes at him, and Zhang Shouyi spoke up, "All four of you are here. Go back and tell your wives to keep having children. When you have a granddaughter, you will be free."

"Dad, what if the second child is also a son?" Zhang Weiyu asked cheekily.

"Then let's have three children."

The in-laws sitting in the living room were a little taken aback. The request wasn't unreasonable, but most people wouldn't be satisfied until they saw their grandson. These in-laws, however, wanted to see their granddaughter.

The four brothers all nodded. However, Zhang Hongmei spoke up, "Don't listen to your father. If you want to have a second child, then have one. If you don't want to, that's fine too. Also, even if you do have a second child, you should wait two years and let your wives rest."

Now the in-laws felt much better. However, they didn't think much of it, since some families have a child almost every year and they haven't noticed anything wrong with the other family's health.

Zhang Shouyi handed them a piece of paper. "These are the names your great-grandfather and grandfather gave the children. You can choose them yourselves."

"Dad, you should choose."

Zhang Shouyi shook his head, "This is up to you. When we have a granddaughter, your mother and I will choose the name."

Zhang Zhenye picked it up and looked at it first. Then he handed it to Yang Yongjian, "Grandpa, would you like to take a look?"

"No need, I've already looked at them. You can choose for yourself."

“Great-grandfather, grandfather, I think the name Zhang Ruiyang is good.”

The three elderly people looked at each other, thought for a moment, and nodded. "Okay, this is the name. My eldest son and grandson will be named Zhang Ruiyang."

Zhang Zhenye handed the paper to his second son, Zhang Ruifeng, who also glanced at it before handing it to his father-in-law. "Dad, would you like to take a look?"

Tang Shixian is a very low-key and traditional person, but since it was his grandson's name, he still took it and looked at it.

"Ruifeng, which one do you think is better?"

"Dad, what do you think of the name Zhang Hecheng?"

Tang Shixian nodded, "I also valued this name."

Neither of the elderly had any objections. Since the father-in-law and son-in-law had already been chosen, then it was settled.

Zhang Weiyu took the paper from his second brother's hand, and without even looking at it, handed it to his father-in-law, saying, "Dad, take a look."

Qin Dongjin didn't stand on ceremony, took it, and began to read it carefully.

"Weiyu, I think all ten names are good. You decide for yourself."

Zhang Weiyu took it and looked at it. "Mom, what do you think of the name Zhang Yuchen?"

"Weiyu, this name sounds nice, is easy to remember, and is easy to write, but it's a bit androgynous."

"But I just think this name is good."

"Then let's call her Zhang Yuchen. Whatever you like."

"Hehe, my son's name is Zhang Yuchen."

Gu Yaozu picked up the paper and walked directly to Gu Chuanming's side. "Grandpa, you can choose the name."

“Yaozu, I was the one who came up with these names, so you could choose two.”

"Then you choose."

Gu Chuanming was deeply touched; what a filial child!

Without any hesitation or taking the paper, he said, "The eldest son will be called Gu Hongyu, and the second son Gu Mingjie. What do you think, in-law?"

“My dear in-law, you have chosen a wonderful name. I think it is excellent.”

Gu Yaozu naturally had no objections. And so, the names of his two sons were decided.

Zhang Zhenye stood up. "It's time to feed the child. I'll go check on him."

The other three brothers also stood up. They wanted to go back and see as well. Having been with their wives during childbirth, they realized how difficult it truly is for women.

They had just left when Wang Ying rushed in like a whirlwind. "Commander, leaders, Hongmei really congratulates you."

"Okay, thank you, Wang Ying."

"Old commander, I am so happy."

"Hehe, this is a happy thing. Zhenye and the others are all grown up under your watchful eye, so of course you're happy. But you'll be even happier when Zhiyu gives birth to your child."

"Ugh! Don't even mention him, it's still nothing. What good will it do me to be anxious?"

Wang Ying's two secretaries stood behind her, respectfully congratulating the people present—all of whom were incredibly important figures.

"Wang Ying, the three of you sit down. We won't go to the study."

You should immediately begin drafting a plan to provide a two-dollar scholarship for every elementary, middle, and high school student in the entire country.

The three in-laws were all astonished upon hearing this; it was quite a generous gesture.

"Yes, Madam, we'll arrange it right away. I'll assign a specific person in charge of each province to oversee this, and there will absolutely be no mistakes."

Zhang Hongmei nodded, "I need to see the plan in two days, and the money must be distributed on July 22nd."

"yes."

The two secretaries turned and left, but Wang Ying stayed behind.

"Hongmei, when will I be able to reach the children?"

"I don't know either. Lijun and the others are trying to breastfeed. Let's wait a while. Auntie and Third Auntie will be coming over soon."

"Alright, I'll wait for the two elders. Hongmei, I envy you so much."

"Hehe, don't be envious. Just like Grandpa said, wait for Zhiyu to give you a grandson."

"Then I'll have to wait a long time. They called me last month, said a few words, and then hung up. Honestly, they live so far away, I can't even go and see them?"

"You're not going to Haishi?"

“I went there last time, but I didn’t see Zhiyu. The military academy is very strict. It’s not like you can just see him whenever you want.”

At this moment, Gan Lu led Hu Aifen and Li Cuihua in.

Zhang Hongmei and Zhang Shouyi both stood up to greet them.

The four in-laws also stood up to greet them. These were the mother-in-law's relatives. Seeing how much importance the leader attached to them, one could tell that these four elderly people must be very close.
