Chapter 89 (End)
"Yeah, well, I'll think about it."
"Wife, after today, I finally feel like I've truly married you."
"Feeling at ease?"
"Yeah, I feel at ease."
"hug."
"Isn't this what I'm holding?"
"Hold tight."
"good."
Pei Ze hugged his wife tightly and carried her from the sofa to the bed. This was the correct way to start the wedding night.
-
Six years later, in the villa of Hongyun Home, unscrupulous parents were showing affection in front of their children, while An An was working hard to feed her sister.
"Wife, eat more shrimps to supplement calcium." Pei Ze peeled one and put it in Zhong Miao's bowl.
"Yeah." Zhong Miao's mouth never stopped talking.
"Brother, I want to eat shrimp too."
"Okay, I'll peel it for you." An An was already a twelve-year-old boy and was about to go to junior high school.
"good."
My younger sister is four years old. Her name is Pei Mingyue. She is an unexpected event in my parents’ lives.
When Pei Ze first learned that Zhong Miao was pregnant, he was almost scared to death, but Zhong Miao was very calm. In this way, he went through ten thrilling months and only felt relieved after she was out of the confinement period.
Little Pei Mingyue was born amidst her mother's expectation and her father's fear and worry. Now Pei Ze still doesn't want to recall the scene when Zhong Miao entered the delivery room. After the child was born, he immediately underwent a ligation operation so as not to scare him again.
An An is now the most tired adult in the family. His sister can be said to have grown up with his company. As for those unscrupulous parents, they would only stay with her for a while every day. If his mother stayed with her for a while longer, his father would take her away.
"Let's go. We're done eating. Mom and Dad have gone to work. Be good, sister, and don't bother grandma. I'll be back to accompany you in the evening."
Zhong Miao stood up and kissed her daughter on the cheek, then touched An An's head. "An An, be careful on your way to school."
"I know, Mom."
An An likes to be close to his mother very much. However, when he grew up, his father would get jealous if his mother was a little bit warm to him. Ever since he was six years old, his father has been guarding against him like a thief.
"Goodbye, Mom. Goodbye, Dad." Yueyue held the spoon and shook it.
"Yeah, bye."
The unscrupulous parents left their two children behind after dinner and went to work.
An An sighed, and after his sister finished her meal, he sent her to his grandmother's house next door.
He didn't dare to look at his sister's reluctant eyes. He said goodbye to his grandmother and turned to leave. He didn't know why Yueyue didn't bother her parents but only him, her brother.
An An sometimes thinks that his parents have been in a serious relationship for several years, his grandmother is old, his sister is still young, and he is the only one who worries about this family.
Thinking of the cute and soft Xiao Yueyue, well, he admitted that he enjoyed it.
The villa area is developing very quickly, and several primary and secondary schools have been added. After he transferred to another school, he could just ride a bicycle to school and didn't need anyone to take him there.
When Zhong Miao arrived at school, he went to his office first. Class had not started yet.
Today, Li Qiumo has been promoted to the head of the Oil Painting Department, and the second-year engineer's tutor is Zhong Miao.
Li Qiumo passed by the office and saw that the door was not closed. He knew that Zhong Miao had come, so he knocked on the open door.
"It's Lao Li, you're here early today."
"I'm not going to be here early that day. The department has a meeting at 2 p.m. in the conference room. Please notify them for me."
"Okay, you know what it means to increase the workload for your apprentice."
"I'll treat you to barbecue at noon. If Pei Ze is not busy, come over."
"Thank you, Master, for giving me food."
"Hey, you're already a mother of two children, why are you still so naughty?"
Li Qiumo was speechless. Most women lost their girlish charm as they got older and had children, but Zhong Miao, on the contrary, looked more and more like a child. Not only did her spiritual aura become more prominent, but she also became more and more spoiled. This was because of the spoiling of her husband Pei Ze.
"A little bit of skin, and cotton clothes turn into mink fur; a little bit of joy, and boiled water turns into cola. I wish you make a lot of money soon."
It would take another ten or eight years before Li Qiumo's painting was sold at a high price, so she sent her best wishes in advance.
"Haha, you're so full of yourself. Thanks for your good wishes. Don't forget to notify me of the meeting."
"Okay."
She did whatever her boss said, and she would help make a few internal calls. She could even have a meal at noon, which was very nice.
She first called her dear husband and asked him to come for lunch, and then prepared to go to class.
The mid-1990s was a time of rapid economic development, and many restaurants opened near Qingmei, including a barbecue restaurant.
Pei Ze was in charge of grilling the meat, while the master and the disciple were in charge of eating. "Hey, Lao Li, you're going too far. I grill meat for my wife, that's my duty. Don't you have any hands?" It seemed that he was here to serve the master and the disciple.
"I'm your wife's mentor, so why can't I just borrow your light? Then why should I treat you? It's better for us to eat on our own."
"You two are really good. You're tiring this silly boy, aren't you?"
Pei Ze looked at his wife with aggrieved eyes.
"What else can we do? He's older and of higher generation, so we should be more tolerant of him."
That’s right, Li Qiumo is thirteen years older than Zhong Miao and six years older than Pei Ze. He is a true big brother.
Zhong Miao doesn't care about them. These two men always quarrel with each other for no reason. She can even write a novel about their love and hate relationship based on their deeds.
"Okay, for your sake."
Li Qiumo was unhappy, "My beloved disciple, does your master look old?" He had just turned forty and was afraid that others would say he was old. Zhong Miao's words really hurt his heart.
"No, my mentor is always an aspiring 18-year-old. I can sense your youthful and restless heart from the articles you read."
Li Qiumo was once discovered by Zhong Miao while she was reading a novel. She was surprised at Li Qiumo's taste, which was exactly the same as that of her whining senior brother Hu Xu.
"Then I feel relieved." Li Qiumo didn't blush at all.
Pei Ze was speechless. These master and disciple never talked about serious things all day long. He suspected that they had watched too many martial arts TV dramas.
As for Pei Ze, he is not so busy now. The factory has become a joint-stock company. In addition to him and his wife holding the largest shares, Zhong Ming, Erwa, Li Hongmei, and several outstanding employees also hold a small amount of shares. Since you are all shareholders, don't think that Pei Ze will be the only one to suffer.
He and his employees worked hard for many years, and Ming'an Home Furnishing has grown from a small workshop-style factory into the nationally renowned behemoth it is today. Therefore, as senior executives of the company, Erwa and his wife are busy like a top every day.
As for Pei Ze, once he makes a decision, he will delegate the work to his subordinates so that he can have time to spend with his wife and children.
The same goes for Zhong Ming. It was the 1990s, and it was a hot investment period in all walks of life. He was doing very well. Even Pei Ze couldn't match his old father's current assets. It was really Pei Ze in the open and Zhong Ming in the dark. Pei Ze even asked Zhong Miao to give the money to his old father to help them invest.
After getting home from get off work, the couple went straight to Zhong Ming's place. The three villas were close to each other, so Zhong Miao gave the one she originally wanted to use as a studio to her mother-in-law. The studio was in a room on the second floor of her house.
In this way, the old mother lived alone in one house, the old father and his wife lived in one house with Li Tongtong, and they lived in one house. As for the children, they moved around and lived in any house. There were rooms for them everywhere. Most of the time, the children lived with their grandmother.
Although the family hired a nanny, the cooking was still arranged by Zhang Weilan and Zhou Yunshan.
As soon as she entered the house, Zhong Miao smelled the aroma of food. "Aunt Zhou, what delicious food did you make today?"
"Pork ribs stewed with beans, crucian carp soup, two stir-fries and two cold dishes."
Zhou Yunshan poked his head out from the kitchen and answered.
"Okay, I'll help."
Zhong Miao entered the kitchen, where Li Tongtong was helping to chop vegetables. "Tongtong, take a break, I'll do it."
"No, sister. The potatoes you cut are a mess. You can't even fry such thick strips. Just help me get the dishes and chopsticks."
Li Tongtong is very skillful. Sister Zhong Miao is good in every way except that she can't work. Besides, there is a big family and she doesn't need to work. Li Tongtong especially likes to take care of her sister.
After Li Tongtong had her sister Zhong Miao, her psychological symptoms gradually improved. It must be said that Zhong Miao's knowledge of psychology was still useful. Now, the relationship between the two sisters is very good, and Li Tongtong is no longer cautious and has truly integrated into the big family.
"Okay, I'll wash my hands first."
Pei Ze was called over by his father-in-law as soon as he entered the house. The father-in-law and son-in-law were studying the booming stock market and discussing the next investment trend.
Zhang Weilan was teaching Yueyue to read in the study, while Anan was doing her homework nearby. As an old lady, she was almost seventy years old, and tutoring her two adorable grandchildren was her primary task.
Zhong Miao and Pei Ze take care of the two children's daily lives, while Zhang Weilan only takes care of her granddaughter and the children's studies during the day. The family has a clear division of labor and no one is idle.
Zhang Weilan is very satisfied with her current life. Her son, daughter-in-law and in-laws do not treat her like a protected animal because of her age, forbidding her from doing this or that. Instead, they let her do whatever she wants. The old mother is pleased. Although she is old, she is still strong.
After a lively dinner, Zhong Miao began to tutor An An in English. Nowadays, schools have begun to focus on cultivating language talents and have added English as a subject. Zhong Miao is the only one in their family who can speak English.
An An particularly likes this part. There are always many people around his mother, and the most difficult one to deal with is his father.
Only when tutoring English and in some special circumstances does his mother belong to him completely and even his father and sister cannot take her away.
Pei Ze was also curious about when Zhong Miao learned English, but Zhong Miao still fooled him.
Zhong Miao didn't tell Pei Ze about the book trip, not because she was afraid that he wouldn't believe her. After so many years, she knew best what kind of person Pei Ze was to her. Even if she said the sky was red, he wouldn't refute her.
However, she had experienced the pain of death once, as well as the confusion and fear that came with traveling through a book. She didn't want Pei Ze to experience it again with her memories. Apart from making him feel uncomfortable, it had no practical meaning at all. Let the past be the past.
Besides, she and her father had already agreed that this would be their little secret forever.
