Chapter 493 Became a Mother
Zhou Xiye was stunned for a moment. Shang Shang was still crying, "Daddy, let's go home..."
Bian Suxi answered the phone, somewhat helplessly: "They were playing happily during the day, but they don't want to go to sleep at night. They insist on finding their mother and grandmother. Don't go to sleep yet, your father and I will take the two darlings back right away."
Jiang Zhizhi also changed her clothes and came out. The phone was very loud on the other end, and she could hear it.
After Zhou Xiye hung up the phone, he laughed and said, "These two little rascals left happily, but now that it's time to sleep, they're making a fuss again."
The two didn't go back to their room; instead, they sat in the living room waiting for the two children.
Fang Hua also heard the commotion, put on a coat, and went downstairs: "What happened?"
Jiang Zhizhi smiled and said, "Shangshang and Xiao Zhouji are making a fuss about coming back."
Fang Hua was delighted: "This child, she even knows how to miss home. I couldn't sleep either. I always feel uneasy when my child isn't home."
She happily sat down in the living room, waiting for Shangshang and Xiaozhou to return.
Half an hour later, Shang Shiyi and Bian Suxi returned carrying two tearful children.
Shang Shang immediately wanted Zhou Xiye to hold her, and Xiao Zhou also rushed into Fang Hua's arms, rubbing her eyes and trying to stay awake.
Bian Suxi was both amused and exasperated: "These two little darlings agreed perfectly during the day that Shangshang would sleep with me and Xiaozhouji would sleep with his grandpa at night, but once they lay down, they didn't want to and cried to come back."
Shangshang let her dad hold her first, then she let her mom hold her.
This was the first time Shang Shiyi had met Zhou Xiye since returning to China. He recalled that back then, before his identity was revealed, he had gone to Zhou Xiye to complain. He wasn't as dull as the rumors suggested.
After Jiang Zhizhi and Fang Hua took the two children upstairs to sleep, they asked Zhou Xiye, "You're doing really well now, but it'll be difficult to move up the ranks. Have you thought about trying again?"
Zhou Xiye shook his head: "I don't have that idea yet."
Shang Shiyi nodded: "The General Staff Department in Beijing is full of talented people. You come from a military background, so the competition will be fierce. If there is an opportunity for transfer, you can go there for two more years to gain experience and then come back. That will make a big difference."
Bian Suxi quickly stopped her: "Alright, Xiye, Zhizhi, and the children have finally reunited. Don't make any rash suggestions. If Xiye is transferred again, Zhizhi will be left alone at home again."
Shang Shiyi felt it wouldn't affect anything: "Zhizhi can also bring her two children with her to the military. Xiye's current rank is more than enough."
He then smiled at Bian Suxi and said, "You need to have some ambition so that you can be a support for Shangshang and Xiao Zhouji in the future."
Zhou Xiye did not refute: "I will consider it."
Shang Shiyi smiled and said, "It's nothing, just normal chatting. Now that we have a child, we have to think more. Alright, it's getting late, you should all get some rest."
Zhou Xiye saw them off to their car.
Bian Suxi couldn't help but nag Shang Shiyi: "You, Xiye has finally come back, and the family has finally reunited. Don't give me any bad advice."
Shang Shiyi smiled and waved to Zhou Xiye, who was standing outside the car. After the car drove away, he said, "You're only looking at short-term gains. If you want the children to have an easy life in the future, Xiye has to move up to a higher position."
"Don't just focus on the current reunion. After Lao Zhou and I retire, if no one takes our place, there won't be many resources left to use when Xiao Zhou and the others grow up."
“I support Xingzhou’s willingness to do business, but if no one in the family goes into politics, it will be difficult to go far. We have few children, and in the future, when it comes to Xiao Zhou’s generation, there will be even fewer children, so there will be fewer people to help each other.”
Bian Suxi thought for a moment: "Isn't there my sister's family too?"
Shang Shiyi smiled but didn't say anything. After all, they were already a step further apart, and by the time they reached Xiao Zhou and the others, their relationship would be even more distant.
...
On the eve of the Spring Festival, Jiang Zhizhi left the hospital and went directly to the medical school laboratory.
Therefore, this Spring Festival will be relatively more leisurely.
Zhou Xiye also took a holiday at home during the Spring Festival this year. During the day, he would take his two children skiing in the yard.
A sled was nailed together with wooden planks and covered with a thick little mattress. Shangshang sat in front, and Xiaozhouji sat behind, hugging his sister's waist.
Zhou Xiye then pulled them around the courtyard.
The lake in the courtyard square was also covered with a thick layer of ice, so he took his two children and made them spin around on it.
Little Zhou and Shang Shang were laughing heartily with their mouths wide open.
When Chen Limin passed by and saw this, she couldn't help but feel jealous again.
However, her health is deteriorating day by day, and now she doesn't even have the strength to get angry.
She called Song Man back, and Song Man told her directly that the newspaper was very busy lately and she didn't have time. She told her to go to the hospital if she felt unwell.
She called Song Dong again, and Song Dong told her that he was also very busy lately, and if she felt unwell, she should have her aunt accompany her to the hospital, and he would talk to her when he was done with his work.
She lamented, "What's the point of raising two children?"
When you need them, none of them are there for you.
On the contrary, Fang Hua, who only has one son, lives a lively and bustling life every day, and his relationship with the people in the compound is getting better and better, which makes her envious and jealous.
I watched from afar for a while, listening to the children's heartwarming laughter, and then turned away with a bittersweet feeling in my heart.
They happened to run into Shen Luojia, who was returning from the radio station.
Lately, I've been hearing Shen Luojia's songs on the radio before lunchtime.
People in the compound all liked her very much, and privately they said that Shen Luojia was the little nightingale of the compound.
She didn't know if it was just her imagination, but now that she looked at Shen Luojia, he didn't seem so silly anymore.
She sometimes hops and skips when she walks, but she exudes a kind of ethereal charm.
Shen Luojia glanced at her, then happily ran towards Shangshang and Xiao Zhouji, shouting from a distance, "Shangshang, Xiao Zhouji, I'm here too."
Chen Limin glanced at it a few more times, then left with a heavy heart.
Jiang Zhizhi went to the lab in the morning, and when she came back, she saw Shen Luojia running on the lake with two children, while Zhou Xiye stood by the lake watching.
When Shen Luojia ran, her two braids flew everywhere; she was fast and kicked up a lot of snow.
Little Zhouji's eyes were barely open, but he still grinned and shouted, "Auntie, hurry up, hurry up!"
Jiang Zhizhi walked over with a smile: "Luo Jia is running so fast she could fly."
Zhou Xiye also laughed: "She really likes Xiao Zhouji and Shangshang. She always brings them snacks when she goes out."
Jiang Zhizhi looked at the happy Shen Luojia and said, "She's been much better lately, which means the acupuncture techniques in Teacher Jin's notes are effective."
Zhou Xiye could tell that Shen Luojia had changed a lot. Although she was still carefree and happy, she was more attentive to Shangshang and Xiao Zhouji.
They would wipe their sweat, and when they ate, they would make sure not to spill food on their clothes.
Even her speech became more composed, but her personality remained straightforward, and no one in the courtyard dared to provoke her.
Jiang Zhizhi looked at Shen Luojia and the two children with her hands behind her back, and said with some pride: "Traditional Chinese medicine is still very powerful. If it can be combined with Western medicine, it will definitely play a greater role."
“I’ve been organizing Professor Jin’s notes recently, and I hope that more medical students can see them.”
No sooner had she finished speaking than Shen Luojia, who was running happily, suddenly fell on the ice and rolled over once.
The two children, riding an out-of-control sled, were about to crash into Shen Luojia...
