"If you're not feeling well, go to the hospital right away, or I'll have Yingying take a day off and come back home so she can go to the hospital with my mom!"

"No need. If she were really unwell, wouldn't I have taken her to the hospital sooner? Why are you saying these useless things here?"

"That's true, alright then!"

"Oh my, my great-grandson is so good! See? He's much better than your dad. He even knows to massage his great-grandmother's legs."

"That's right, I'm definitely better than my dad!"

How powerful is it?

"Amazing! Amazing!"

"good!"

"Xiao Xuan, tell Grandpa, have you been practicing your basic skills properly lately?"

"Yes, I get up early every day. My dad practices with me whenever he's not busy, and my mom practices with me when he is."

"Very good, not bad. So, besides practicing the basics, what else have you done?"

“There are many! Recently, my mom also signed me up for extracurricular classes. I have to go to the Children's Palace every Saturday morning.”

"Oh! What do you learn at the Children's Palace?"

"I learn everything, but my favorite thing is martial arts."

But my mom also signed me up for Go and calligraphy lessons.

"Is practicing martial arts your favorite thing? You just like doing somersaults, don't you!"

Besides, isn't getting up early every morning essentially practicing boxing? It's no different from martial arts training.

"But he's the best boxer among all the kids in the bedroom!"

"Then why don't you think about how long you've been planning to fight, while the other kids have only been practicing for a short time?"

"It seems so! But besides practicing martial arts and boxing, I don't like anything else either."

"Then why did you go and learn Go and calligraphy?"

"Great-Grandpa, didn't Mom spend the money? Mom said that she and Dad don't earn money easily. It costs a lot of money to go to the Children's Palace for one class. I have to earn this money back, otherwise it would be a huge loss."

"Who taught you all this?"

"No? Anyway, every time my dad takes me to the supermarket, he only allows me to buy one toy, no more. If he had more money, he could buy me a few more, right?"

So that's what you think?

Isn't that so?

"That's right. The reason we don't let you buy too many toys is because we already have quite a few at home, and you can hardly play with them all. Besides, how much money do we have? Your mother and I don't earn that much, so it's right for you to be frugal."

"I know, otherwise I wouldn't have learned Go and calligraphy from those two old men."

"You should be grateful! I heard it from your mother. They are all famous masters. You are incredibly lucky to have learned from them."

"Zhengze, who is the person teaching this child Go and calligraphy?"

"Grandpa, Teacher Wu taught him Go, and Teacher Yao taught him calligraphy."

"So it was them. You little one are really lucky with wedding candy."

Were great-grandfathers and the others very capable?

"Of course they are very capable; they are all well-known figures in their respective industries."

"Is he as good as my dad?"

"This can't be compared, okay?"

Why can't we compare?

"Because they are engaged in different professions..."

"You stay here with them, I'll go check if your mother has woken up?"

"good!"

"What are you looking at, you brat!"

"Grandma, don't you think Dad's acting a little strange today?"

No? What's wrong?

"Nothing much? I just felt that my dad was acting a little strange today."

And then there's my mom. I've known her for very long, she rarely sleeps in. Why isn't she up yet today?

"Why don't you think about how busy your mother has been lately? Besides, she's not the same person she was twenty years ago anymore. She's been busy for so many days in a row, can't she just take a proper rest?"

"Grandma, I didn't mean that, I just thought it was strange."

"I don't find it strange at all. This is a very normal thing."

"Have you never slept in when you're tired?"

"Of course I want to sleep, but I wake up at the appointed time and can't fall back asleep."

"That's for you young people. We older folks can't even sleep a little longer."

"You're awake? Why aren't you up and going out for dinner?"

"Tired, feeling weak all over?"

"Why do you feel so weak? Should I take you to the hospital to get it checked out?"

"What are you thinking? Everyone just thinks it's you!"

"I...you mean last night? How is that possible?"

"Why not? I haven't been getting enough rest lately, and last night you just wouldn't stop. How could I possibly have any energy?"

"I see. Well, is my apology enough?"

"What good is an apology? How old are you? Don't you know you should be more careful?"

"No matter how old I am, you know my physique and physical strength, don't you?"

"Go away, don't get in my way."

"No, you're getting angry already? Come on! Where are you going?"

"Of course I'm going to take a bath and then change my clothes! What else do you think I'm going to do?"

"It's nothing. Since we're going for a bath, why don't we join each other?"

"Get out of here, don't do anything reckless in broad daylight."

Besides, I just heard Xiao Xuan's voice. His grandson is here, so please don't cause any trouble, okay? What if the child barges in?

"It's okay, I locked the door from the inside when I came in!"

"That won't do either. You remember this: you're not allowed to go into the bathroom, understand?"

"Okay, I know. Take your time. I'll go out now, okay?"

"That's more like it."

"Grandpa, you're out! Where's Grandma? Is she still asleep?"

"You're awake, are you washing up?"

"oh!"

"Dad, is Mom really alright?"

"It's nothing, what could possibly be wrong? It's already past ten o'clock, aren't you going to the hospital to pick up your wife and bring her back for dinner?"

"No need, Dad. Yingying is on duty at noon today?"

"Alright then, have Aunt Zhang serve the food first, then you can take it to your wife, eat with her, and come back later. Leave the baby here for now."

"Okay, no problem. By the way, Dad, I heard from Junde that my sister-in-law's due date is in two months. Should Mom go over to help her during her postpartum period, or should we hire someone else?"

“It’s definitely inconvenient to bring her back, and your mother can’t spare the time either. I’ll ask your mother again later, but whether we go or not, we definitely need to hire a nanny to take care of her for a while first.”

"Didn't Grandma say she was going?"

"She'd like to, but at her age here, do you think it's feasible?"

"That's true. If it really doesn't work out, you can have the baby delivered and driven directly to Beijing. That way, it will be more convenient for your family to take care of the baby."
