Transmigrated as the fake rich daughter, schemed by the reborn true rich daughter to go down to the countryside as an educated youth, living in poverty and destitution, short on food and necessitie...
Yan Rushan handed the child to Feng Jianhong and said, "Thank you."
"Hey." Feng Jianhong smiled as she held the child in her arms. She lowered her head to look at the sleeping baby and grinned happily, "It's so cute, so chubby and pretty. Look at its cute little nose, and its little mouth is still moving even in its sleep."
Once he started talking, he couldn't stop. Yan Rushan nodded repeatedly, said "hmm" lightly, and turned to go upstairs. He ran three times before sending the three children downstairs. He put two of them in the crib, and Feng Jianhong was holding one in her arms and she was reluctant to let go.
"Dad, come and see; our grandson is sleeping so soundly and having sweet dreams. It's so nice." The little baby lay in Feng Jianhong's arms, his lips moving, and his little face seemed to have a smile. He was born with a face that was pleasing to the eyes.
Feng Jianhong sat on the sofa holding the child. Zhong Jing stretched his head to look at them. It was fine when he wasn't looking, but when he saw them, he felt happy and cheerful. "It's true. We are blessed with three little grandchildren."
Being born in a Yan family and having promising parents, isn’t that a blessing?
In the hearts of the two elderly people, their three grandchildren were extremely blessed; born into a good family like the Yan family, they were three treasures in one birth, and they were cherished by the old man as if they were nothing. You must know that whether in the city or the countryside, many children are born with poor conditions; some may even not have enough food or warm clothes. In comparison, the Yan family's triplets were born into a blessed nest.
Yan Rushan did not comment on this. He was happy about the birth of his three children, but he also felt depressed. His position in his wife's heart seemed to have dropped a lot. This was only when he could not see the children. If he could see them every day, he would probably have even less place in her heart.
People say it’s good to have three children, and he thinks these three are his ancestors.
Zhong Jiaquan came over to take a look and chuckled, "She's so cute, she must look like Yuxiu." She must be as outstanding as her current sister, living in a big compound, having a decent job, and marrying well.
"Ahem." Yan Rushan coughed lightly. The Zhong family members were all focused on the child and didn't hear him at all. Seeing this, Yan Rushan gave up. He said, "Let me hold you if I want." He turned and walked towards the kitchen, but saw the old man with white hair walked in. "Grandpa, you're back."
"Well, I'm back. Where's my good great-grandson?" The old man turned around and said to the guards who had returned, "You guys can go back. I'm home."
"Yes, Chief."
The two guards saluted and left.
"The child is inside, asleep." Yan Rushan pointed to the hall.
Old Master Yan's heart was completely focused on his adorable great-grandson, and he had no desire to ask about his eldest grandson's affairs. He hurried to the hall, and when he saw the Zhong family, he laughed heartily and said, "In-laws, are you guys playing with the children? Little Zhong is here."
Zhong Jiaquan nodded with a smile.
"No, I fell asleep. How adorable." Feng Jianhong turned around and said with a smile, "Grandpa, you came back a little late today."
"Something's going on. It's a busy time now. After this period of busyness, I'll be completely free." Old Master Yan's words were clear, but Feng Jianhong and Zhong Jingke didn't understand and were shocked. "Grandpa, what do you mean by completely free?"
Yan Rushan explained to them: "Grandpa should have retired long ago."
"You're retiring! We were shocked. I'm glad you're okay." Feng Jianhong breathed a sigh of relief. "Please sit down, old man. You're still working at such an old age. I've talked to the child's father about this before. You should have enjoyed your life long ago. You're still contributing to the country. You're really capable."
Old Master Yan shook his head, walked to the crib, pulled a stool to sit on, and went to look at his great-grandson in the crib.
"As I should, my life has been a life of toil! I fought in wars when I was young, and even now that I'm old, I'm still busy." He reached out and touched the chubby faces of his two great-grandchildren, smiling, "Luckily, I have three little great-grandchildren to keep me company now, so I'm not afraid of retirement anymore."
Feng Jianhong smiled with understanding, "You're right. We can't sit idle. Living in the countryside, we always want to move around when we have nothing to do, whether it's inside or outside the house, as long as we can move. If we sit idle, it will feel boring. Decades of life have passed, and looking back, we have been busy all our lives."
Growing up in the countryside, there were countless families that favored boys over girls. It was even worse in Feng Jianhong's era. Girls started working for the family when they were three or four years old, and then went to work for their husband's family after they got married. Not only did they have to work at their husband's family, but they also had to give birth to children, be filial to their elders, and take care of their husbands.
Fortunately, the man she met was not bad and knew how to care for her.
"That's right!" Old Master Yan sighed and chuckled. "People of our older generation are all hardworking. We've been struggling for a living since we were born. We're nothing like the young people. Let's not talk about others; take my Dashan for example. He was well fed and well dressed since he was a child, and he grew up eating and playing all day long. When he was seventeen or eighteen, the policy changed, and we had no choice but to send him to the countryside. He really suffered a lot in those years, but after he was admitted to university and returned to the city, his good life began again."
"This guy is so lucky. He even found a good wife like Yuxiu after going to the countryside. Others come back crying for their parents, but he spends every day thinking about how to find a wife." The old man couldn't stop laughing when he talked about this. "When Dashan was pursuing Yuxiu, he was a fool and had a sour face all day long. Only Yuxiu didn't despise him. If it were someone else, I'm afraid he wouldn't be able to catch up with her even if he pursued her for a hundred years."
Of course, this metaphor is a bit exaggerated, but that's the point.
Feng Jianhong and Zhong Jing didn't take it seriously and just smiled. Zhong Jiaquan was interested, "How did Comrade Yan pursue Yuxiu? Grandpa Yan, can you tell us?"
"I don't know the details, I just know he's been running to Yuxiu's place every few days, and Yuxiu runs faster than anyone else when something happens. I've seen him secretly sad several times, and then they're suddenly together again." Old Master Yan's old face was full of smugness. "Dashan has this and that problem, but it's because he was spoiled when he was a child. But his character is fine. He's responsible, serious, loyal to his marriage, quick-witted, and knows how to behave and get things done."
"I can see that Comrade Yan has a lot of friends." There are those who run companies and those who sell goods.
Old Master Yan was delighted. "Really? It's a shame that Dashan didn't join the army. He had that kind of brains, and he would have done great in the army. Unfortunately, the timing was never right, and through some twists and turns, he ended up running his own company."
"Comrade Yan also opened a company?" Feng Jianhong's eyes moved, and the look in his eyes when he looked at Yan Rushan was different; he knew that he had a promising future, as a college graduate, so he must be making money, but he didn't know what he did.
The people who came to bring them to Beijing never mentioned this, focusing only on Yuxiu's story. Just two years after entering university, Yuxiu was teaching at a medical university and working at a hospital—a respectable job! She had a promising future. Although they didn't know why those people brought them to Beijing, it was definitely not a good thing.
They just wanted to contact their daughter, check on her situation and leave; no one expected that those people were actually spies, but no matter what, the result was good, they found their daughter.
