Oh dear, He Tiantian was right.
Tang Qian was surprised and said, "I didn't expect He Tiantian to be so insightful!"
"Hehe, you don't even know what the Huo family does," said Old Master Tang. "Huo Yingjun's wife went abroad with Huo Yingjun, and He Tiantian is a businesswoman and an athlete. The Huo family naturally has to talk to He Tiantian about some political matters so that she can be sensible and know what she's doing when she's out there, so that she doesn't cross the line."
"I see," Tang Qian said. "No wonder you talk about family matters or politics every day during meals."
"Yes, this is not only for you to hear, but also for Zhengmin," said Grandpa Tang. "I didn't expect you to be less sensitive to the situation than He Tiantian. It seems you need to learn more in the future. You can't be so muddleheaded, or you won't even know why something happened."
"Yes, I'll pay attention in the future," Tang Qian said. "No wonder Zhengmin listens so attentively every time you talk, and he asks me about things he doesn't understand when we get back."
"Hehe, that's how it should be," said Grandpa Tang. "Knowing how to use your brain and ask questions will prevent trouble. Ah, with this wife you married, your mother and I can rest in peace after we've passed away. As long as you don't act recklessly, you'll probably have a good life. With such a smart mother to guide you, we don't have to worry about our grandchildren."
“Dad, why are you saying such things again? You’re in good health,” Tang Qian said. “From now on, just be in a good mood every day and live to be a hundred years old with Mom.”
"Alright, who can live to be a hundred? I've been through so much in my life, I've come to terms with it. Now that you're all better, I can finally rest easy," Grandpa Tang said with emotion.
"Hehe, you think so highly of Zhengmin?" Tang Qian was a little smug, wanting to hear his father praise Qi Zhengmin.
That's his wife!
He went through so much trouble to get here, and we're so happy and content!
"Of course," said Grandpa Tang. "Children spend a lot of time with their mothers, so they are greatly influenced by them. Let's not talk about other families, but look at our family. Aren't your older siblings' ways of doing things and their personalities largely influenced by our mother?"
"Yes," Tang Qian nodded, "but I seem to have a personality like yours."
"That's because I'm retired now, and I have time to discipline you," said Grandpa Tang. "Think about the Huo family again. Does Huo Zhekun or Huo Zhegan resemble your Uncle Huo or Aunt Huo?"
"Uncle Huo is a rough man, but he's shrewd inside. He's quite decisive in his actions!" Tang Qian said. "The two older brothers of the Huo family are gentle and refined, and they do resemble Aunt Huo more, even in appearance. However, the men in their family are all as tall as Uncle Huo. It can only be said that the children of the Huo family are really good at growing up, and each generation is more handsome than the last."
Grandpa Tang wholeheartedly agreed, saying, "I'm older than your Uncle Huo, and I was already married back then. But your Uncle Huo wasn't. We had other comrades-in-arms, colleagues who married other comrades or workers, but your Uncle Huo, this rough-around-the-edges guy who was involved in literacy campaigns during the Red Army period, insisted on marrying the daughter of a big capitalist. At the time, we all thought your Uncle Huo was attracted to her beauty, but later we realized how outstanding the younger generation was, which shows how shrewd your Uncle Huo was. Of course, your Aunt Huo was quite beautiful when she was young."
Tang Qian found it interesting and asked again, "Dad, my mom is illiterate, and to be honest, she's not very good-looking. You're so talented, how come you live with her?"
When his son chatted with him, Old Master Tang smiled smugly and said, "Of course it's because your mother is tall! Our Tang family's genes have been completely changed by me, which is why you brothers and sisters are so tall."
Tang Qian was taken aback. Thinking about his father's height, which seemed to be less than 1.7 meters, he was indeed a bit short. He said awkwardly, "I didn't know there was such a saying. What's the basis for it?"
"I've never heard of the old saying, 'A tall father is one person, a tall mother is a whole family!'" Old Master Tang said confidently, showing off his foresight.
Tang Qian scratched his head, somewhat puzzled, and said, "Dad, you made this up, didn't you? I've only ever heard of 'a bad soldier is bad for one person, a bad general is bad for the whole army'!"
“That’s because you’re ignorant,” Old Master Tang said. “I have an older brother who died young and an older sister, neither of whom are as tall as me. Your grandparents weren’t tall either. There’s no one tall in our Tang family. But after I married your mother, and looking at you four siblings, even the shortest one, your sister, is 1.68 meters tall. That’s all thanks to your mother. Your mother is a hero of our Tang family, so of course I love her.”
Wow, the older generation's relationships are really interesting.
"Hehe, is that how it is?" Tang Qian laughed. "No wonder you liked Zhengmin so much back then, because he's tall!"
"Yes, he's tall and has fair skin," said Grandpa Tang. "Look at your child, he's better looking than other people's children. You've clearly married the right woman."
Well, Tang Qian actually thought his father's words made sense.
His wife is wonderful, and his children are beautiful.
"Alright, you should go back and get some rest too. You have to get up early to catch your flight tomorrow," said Grandpa Tang. "Your older brothers and sisters are here to celebrate the New Year with us, so you should go back and spend the New Year with Zhengmin. It's a rare occasion that your father-in-law, mother-in-law, and brother-in-law are also back. Have a good get-together."
"I am an unfilial son, unable to spend the New Year with my father and mother." Tang Qian felt a little guilty.
"Hehe, we have a long future ahead of us. Let's focus on our in-laws first. After all, we're usually together, while they only come back once a year. It's only natural that they want to spend time with their daughter. Besides, Zhengmin is pregnant and needs someone to take care of her. We can rest assured if you go," said Grandpa Tang. He understood his son's thoughtfulness and always put his son first, so no one could find fault with him.
At this moment, Madam Tang came in and said, "Little Si, I have prepared a lot of things for you. When you go to your wife's family tomorrow, be sure to take them with you, and also give Zhengmin some nourishment."
"Mom, don't worry," Tang Qian said. "There are many people in Yue's family who will take care of Zhengmin."
"Oh, I can't rest easy until she's right in front of me," said Madam Tang. "When you go, you mustn't upset Zhengmin. If a pregnant woman gets angry, the baby won't be good-looking. Please remember that."
Tang Qian nodded and said, "I've got it, Mom."
The two elders back home repeatedly urged Tang Qian to take good care of Qi Zhengmin.
The two elders call Qi Zhengmin every day to talk and show their concern for their daughter-in-law. Because Qi Zhengmin is pregnant, the Tang family's Spring Festival this year was very lively, and the two elders were in a good mood, as were the younger generation.
