Zhang Xingguo and Yang Yongjian also came out. Looking at his three grandsons, Zhang Xingguo grinned from ear to ear. Now he could see his grandsons more often.

Gu Chuanming looked at the five children in Xiao Wu and the other two's arms and said, "Ruiyang, Hecheng, Yuchen, Hongyu, Mingjie, this is your uncle, your grandmother's son."

Yu Chen looked at Xiao Wu with a cute and innocent expression and said, "Grandma's son is Dad."

"Hehe, and there are also uncles and elders."

“But Uncle Wu looks just like Dad.” Yu Chen touched Xiao Wu’s face.

“Your father and I are brothers, of course we look alike.”

Gu Chuanming smiled and ushered them into the living room. "What would you like to eat tonight?"

For the elderly, it simply means making sure the children are well-fed.

"Great-Grandpa, where's my mom?" Xiaoqi asked. They've been back for so long, why hasn't Mom come out yet?

"Your mother took your sister-in-law hiking. They should be back soon."

"What would you like to eat? I'll tell the kitchen to make it."

"Grandpa, I want to eat cold noodles," Xiao Wu said with a smile.

"Grandpa, I want to eat tomato and egg stir-fry."

Xiaoqi thought for a moment and said, "Grandpa, I want to eat meat pies."

"Okay, okay, I'll go tell the kitchen right away." Zhang Xingguo left happily.

When Zhang Hongmei returned, she smiled when she saw her three sons.

"Mom, we're back."

"Okay, now Mom can finally rest assured."

Before they even started dinner, Zhang Shouyi arrived.

The four daughters-in-law were incredibly envious; the parents-in-law's relationship was truly wonderful. The father-in-law was so attached to his wife; how could he have come running after her in just a few days?

"Brother Zhang, what brings you here?"

"I'm taking the day off tomorrow to come and keep you company."

The family enjoyed a happy dinner together.

That night, Zhang Shouyi tormented Zhang Hongmei several times.

"Wife, how many more days are you staying?"

"If we stay for another four or five days, Xiao Wu and his two brothers will need to prepare for school when we go back."

Zhang Shouyi felt embarrassed to ask his wife to go back. He knew that his wife had suffered a lot of grievances with him throughout her life, and now that she was in the mood to have fun, he would support her even if he didn't want to.

The next morning, Zhang Shouyi accompanied his three sons to practice their kung fu, while the three old men watched from the side. The three children's kung fu was truly solid.

“That’s right, you’ve really suffered these past few years on the mountain,” Yang Yongjian said to Zhang Xingguo with a smile.

"Hmm, his kung fu is even better than Zhenye's."

"Now you can rest assured, with this skill level, you're absolutely safe."

"You can't say that. There are always people more capable than you, and there's always something beyond your understanding."

After the mother and her five children got up, Zhang Shouyi and the others had also finished their training.

That day, the four daughters-in-law did not linger near their mother-in-law, but watched the couple walk up the mountain hand in hand.

Xiao Wu and his two friends were just teasing their nephews.

"Sister-in-law, Zhilin looks like me."

"Yes, you know, genes are really amazing. If your third brother were to hold Zhilin, he would think they were the real father and son."

"Yes. Zhilin is even more like Third Brother than Xudong."

“Sister-in-law, when we received the news on the mountain that we had four more nephews, we were all afraid that our mother would be heartbroken.”

“We were very nervous at the time, but we had no choice. The matter of giving birth to a granddaughter for Mom is now up to the three of you.”

Xiao Wu laughed and said, "Sister-in-law, we also like young girls. But that's something we can't decide."

The uncle and his sister-in-law were chatting happily in the living room.

Zou Haiyin and Xiao Wu have a good relationship, so she didn't hold back when she asked the question.

"Xiao Wu, are you going to high school this semester?"

"Yes, we have to go through three years of high school, one year of university, and then go abroad to study."

Are you going to the US too?

"It must be there. We were originally thinking of going to Y country, but our family in M ​​country disagreed. My brother said that we must study in M ​​country. As for our desire to go to Y country, he asked us to go there to take care of the family business."

"Hehe, I was thinking so too. How could we let the three of you go out and have fun? There are so many businesses at home, it's time for the three of you to manage them."

"Sister-in-law, Dad said that from now on, the seven of us will be in charge of our family business, and Mom is planning to retire."

"The four of us have no objections. Going to university isn't tiring. We have no problem with this."

“The three of us can do it too; it’s much easier than going up the mountain.”

They saw Zhang Shouyi off early the next morning, and the family of seventeen stayed for another four days. They wouldn't have gone back if Wang Ying hadn't called.

With three days left before school starts, Yang Lijun and the others are all ready to go to school. The four little ones can drink formula without any problems, so the four of them go to school in the morning and come home at noon to feed the children.

Xiao Wu and the other two followed behind Wang Ying. They had met before, but this time it couldn't be just a casual affair; they had to learn systematically.

Zhang Hongmei stays at home taking care of nine children. With three elderly people helping out, it's quite worry-free.

Now I finally have some free time, and I'm busy taking care of the kids every day.

Time flies, and the holiday is just around the corner. Xiao Wu and his two friends have been very busy lately, reviewing summary reports every day.

"Fifth Brother, Mom is working too hard."

"Yes, there are still seven of us working, but Mom is working alone."

Finally, the holidays have arrived, but the four mothers haven't had time to spend with their sons.

It wasn't until the 28th of the twelfth lunar month that the whole family got a holiday.

The four little ones are now six months old and can sit still, but they only get about half an hour a day, since the living room is carpeted and they don't have a moment to spare while crawling around. Luckily, there are many nannies and Ruiyang and the other three play with them.

In the evening, the whole family sat at the dining table. Even the four younger children sat in their high chairs.

Gu Chuanming was overjoyed. He believed that no one in the world was happier than him, as his entire family of twenty-four was now complete.

On the 28th day of the twelfth lunar month, Yang Lijun and the other three returned to their parents' home, and Zhang Zhenye and the other three went with them.

"Mom, shall we go to Shanghai for the New Year?" Xiaoqi asked her mother with a grin.

"Okay, let's go have some fun for a few days, but it'll only be a couple of days."

"No way. Such a short time?"

"We can't leave until the fifth day of the Lunar New Year at the earliest. We have many relatives and friends at home, and it wouldn't be right for us not to entertain them during the Lunar New Year."

"Let's forget about that then. Let's have the three of us go instead, Mom. We'll go on the sixth day of the first lunar month. We'll travel around there for a bit and get home on the fourteenth."

“Sure, you can make your own arrangements.” Zhang Hongmei always let her children make their own decisions.

"Hmm, Mom, are we going back to Liujiatun again this year?"
