Like his second brother, Zhang Weiyu also treated the guests to a meal at a restaurant.

Zhang Hongmei remained at home. Although she was anxious, she didn't show it, fearing that her two daughters-in-law who hadn't given birth yet would become even more nervous.

Five days later, Zhang Botao, the earliest born, was already nine days old. Liu Maocai's family and Ma Li and others came over to celebrate the children's ninth day at their maternal grandparents' house.

Because it was all family, they didn't go out to eat, but Zou Haiyin started having sex right after lunch.

At 3 p.m., Zou Haiyin gave birth to a boy weighing 7.6 pounds.

Gu Chuanming named him Gu Kangning at that time.

The old man was overjoyed, tears welling in his eyes, thinking that the Gu family would become a large clan in the future, and that there would be more and more Gu family members.

Zhang Xingguo patted the old man on the shoulder, "Old Gu, this is a good thing."

"Yes, I know it's a good thing. I've never even dreamed of it."

The entire Zou family came over, and they were extremely relieved about their daughter. Having three sons by her side was a blessing that most people didn't have.

Gu Yaozu was naturally happy. Unlike his third brother, he hadn't been so eager for a daughter. To him, boys and girls were the same; parents would be happy if a girl came to visit, but they would like a boy too. He was just a little disappointed.

Now, only Zhenye's wife hasn't given birth yet. Hu Aifen devotes all her energy to Yang Lijun, and Yang Yongjian has also moved in and won't go back. They're afraid that they won't be able to keep up with their granddaughter's pregnancy.

The most composed people in the family right now are Zhang Zhenye and his wife.

The elders were quite satisfied with Yang Lijun. As the eldest daughter-in-law, with such demeanor, how could she not be a virtuous helpmate to Zhenye?

It's already June, and the baby is still firmly inside his mother's belly. There's no sign of him wanting to come out at all.

Dr. Sun comes by every day, and his conclusion is that the eldest young mistress is in good health and the child is healthy.

On June 6th, before Zhenye had even left for work, Yang Lijun went into labor.

The delivery wasn't quick this time. The baby seemed to be a beat slower than everyone else, and didn't emerge from the mother's womb until 11:15. The crying was also weak and feeble; the baby only cried a couple of times after the pediatrician patted him.

Zhang Hongmei finally gave up, realizing she was destined to have neither a daughter nor a granddaughter.

But the real surprise came when I held the child; the child looked remarkably like me. It was truly amazing; the child looked especially like Yu Chen. In other words, I had two grandchildren who looked just like me.

Zhang Xingguo was overjoyed. This was his great-grandson. His four grandsons had given him nine great-grandsons. If Xiao Wu and the other two each gave him one, he would have twelve great-grandsons. Who else was as fortunate as him?

After discussing it, the three elderly people decided to name the child Zhang Zhilin.

Zhang Hongmei talks to Huang Meihua on the phone almost every day, and Huang Meihua also learned that Zhang Hongmei had four more grandsons.

"Hehe, Hongmei, I knew you were a very lucky person the moment I saw you. Let Daniel go this time."

“Godmother, Daniel should stay and keep Victoria company. He doesn’t need to come over. I’ll go over when Green turns one year old, and I’ll take pictures and send them to you.”

"No need, Victoria is doing very well now, don't worry. Daniel would be upset if he didn't go, so you don't need to worry about that."

Gu Chuanming didn't insist on a big celebration this time, but Zhang Hongmei still invited Wang Ying. A year later, she had four more grandchildren, and although they couldn't have a grand celebration, they would do some charity work, just like last time. This time, the group was funding it, allocating funds to all the nursing homes.

Gu Chuanming was very satisfied with Zhang Hongmei's performance.

On June 19th, Daniel arrived in the capital. He planned to stay there until his youngest son, Zhang Zhilin, celebrated his one-month birthday, and also to celebrate the first birthdays of his five older children.

Zhang Hongmei and Daniel sat together watching the children on the screen, feeling happy.

“Daniel, this child looks noble.”

“Mom, I like Green too. Now I spend some time with him every day. It makes me very happy.”

"Yes, that's how it should be. Daniel, you must take care of yourself."

"Mom, I know, don't worry. I'm not a person who doesn't know what's good for me."

That evening, Zhenye and his four brothers chatted in the study, talking about each other's recent situations.

Zhang Hongmei lay in Zhang Shouyi's arms. She had been struggling with this decision for a long time, but she finally steeled herself and said, "Brother Zhang, I want to give Daniel's child the Green Spirit Spring water to drink."

Zhang Shouyi was very sensitive to this issue.

“Hongmei, this won’t do. It will be dangerous for you if it’s exposed.”

“Brother Zhang, I want to go over and give him a drink when Green turns one year old, just for him alone.”

Zhang Shouyi fell silent. In fact, his wife must have had this idea a long time ago.

"Hongmei, I don't know if I can arrange for you to go there then."

Zhang Hongmei fell silent. Yes, she wasn't free; she couldn't do whatever she wanted.

Zhang Shouyi couldn't stand seeing his wife like this. Finally, he gritted his teeth and said, "Hongmei, how about this? I'll talk to Daniel. If that doesn't work, I'll give it to him. I'll just say it was something we developed here." For his wife, Zhang Shouyi was willing to go to any lengths.

“Brother Zhang, you don’t want me to take risks, and I don’t want you to be in danger either.”

"It's alright, I still believe in Daniel."

Don't overthink it. Just remember, I'll stand up for you in every situation. I'll always be there for you.

Zhang Hongmei embraced her husband, the man who gave her love.

Because Daniel was going to stay in the capital for a while, Zhang Weiyu simply took leave and stayed with him.

Zhang Zhenye didn't say anything and silently took over his brother's job.

Daniel is leaving tomorrow, Zhang Shouyi called him into the study.

"Daniel, do you think Zhenye, Xiao Wu and the other six, and Ruiyang and the other five are particularly smart?"

"Yes, they are incredibly intelligent."

“Daniel, to be honest, if it weren’t for your godmother pleading on your behalf, we wouldn’t be having this conversation today.”

Do you also feel that you are smarter and healthier than others?

Daniel nodded.

"It's because when you were born, your adoptive mother gave you the medicine I prepared for her. You've rarely been sick since you were little, haven't you?"

Daniel nodded again.

“Zhenye and the other seven, along with these nine children, have all drunk it, so your godmother begged me to give it to Green.”

Daniel, you're a smart man; you know this isn't a small matter. It's because of my observations of your family over the past twenty years that I finally agreed to your godmother's request.
