"Yes, we're good!"

"Mmm, good girl!"

Zhu Qinghao knew her child's temperament well, so she immediately went along with them, smiling and giving each of them a kiss.

"Okay~ You are all Mommy's good children. Have you been spending a lot of time with your great-grandfather at home?"

At this moment, another round of chatter broke out as everyone eagerly tried to answer, each one displaying great enthusiasm. However, each interaction was necessary, and Zhu Qing was almost overwhelmed with questions.

Sheng Yi stood aside, watching with a smile, but showed no intention of stepping forward to help.

Others only thought that their three children were very well-behaved, but only he and Zhu Qinghao knew how difficult they were to deal with.

It's fortunate that someone helped take care of him; otherwise, it would have been even more difficult.

Not long after the New Year, they received a letter from Lu Guangji saying that the Zhu family would be able to return to the capital soon.

Everyone was happy when they received the news, but they didn't dare to show it too obviously, since there hadn't been any official notification yet.

Fortunately, after three months of waiting, a jeep finally arrived at the Hongshan Brigade. Its purpose was to take Professor Zhu and his wife back to Beijing to resume their work.

At the same time, the Zhu family's exoneration documents were also brought to the village, and the Zhu family, who had stayed in Hongshan Brigade for more than six years, were finally able to return to Beijing.

After that, Sheng Yi's job transfer application was successfully approved, and Zhu Qinghao was transferred back to Kyoto with him and their child under the pretext of accompanying him to the military.

Now that Zhu Yanzhi and Zhen Zhu have returned to work, Grandpa Sheng and the Zhu family elders are all idle, so they are the ones who help take care of the children most of the time.

Sheng Yi's job has been transferred to the outskirts of Beijing, but he is currently on vacation and has not yet reported for duty.

As for Zhu Qinghao, although she had heard from Si Tian that the college entrance examination would be reinstated, she herself was not interested in it. Instead, she was more enthusiastic about doing things she liked.

Her family supported her idea, and with the introduction of Grandpa Sheng, Zhu Qinghao became an apprentice of a master of traditional Chinese painting who had also been exonerated and returned to China, and began to learn painting.

In this respect, Zhu Qinghao is actually very talented. When she was a child, she couldn't go out often, so she liked to draw to pass the time.

At that time, she was not in good health, so her family did not allow her to paint for long periods of time. Now that she finally had the opportunity, Zhu Qinghao naturally did not want to let it go.

As for Si Tian's prediction that the economy would take off, Zhu Qinghao wasn't completely unresponsive. She would still buy land and houses, but it just wasn't the right time yet.

In December 1977, Si Tian and Xiang Yu both took the college entrance examination. The following year, after the results were released, both of them were admitted to universities in Kyoto, and the three of them finally reunited in Kyoto.

Without Zhu Qinghao's knowledge, Si Tian and Xiang Yu had already hit it off and were preparing to start a business together, because they both felt that Zhu Qinghao was unlikely to get involved in such matters.

At most, I'll just invest some money and be a small boss behind the scenes.

Although Zhu Qinghao didn't show it obviously, they could all tell that she and Sheng Yi were not short of money.

When the two of them came to find Zhu Qinghao after they had finished discussing everything, Zhu Qinghao's eyes lit up, and she simply said:

"I'm busy, but I can provide the money. You two can contribute your labor, and we'll get rich together. You can take a larger share, and I'll take a smaller share, how about that?"

Upon hearing her answer, Si Tian and Xiang Yu simultaneously turned to look at each other, their faces clearly showing:

"See? I told you she'd do this..."

In the end, they reached a mutually agreeable agreement: Zhu Qinghao would contribute half the money, the other two would contribute the other half plus their labor, and the profits would be split 40/40/30.

Xiang Yu and Si Tian each have four, and I wish you three good things.

All three were satisfied with the plan, and thus, one of the largest chain clothing companies in the next few decades hastily took shape.

Since then, the three of them often get together, but most of the time they are busy with their own things. Two of them are doing very well in business, and Zhu Qinghao is also shining in her beloved field.

Seeing that she was often too busy to have any time for herself, and that the twins Tuan Tuan Yuan Yuan were very interested in traditional Chinese medicine, Sheng Yi simply went home to be a wife and mother.

At that time, he made a very bold decision. How many people would be willing to give up their secure job at the hospital just to go home and cook for their wives and children?

Because of this decision, Sheng Yi was ridiculed by unsuspecting outsiders for many years, but he always seemed to enjoy it and replied gently:

"You don't understand, and you never will."

After all, not everyone can live off a woman; he'd better not tell anyone, or people will get jealous.
