When Qiao Yu returned home, she found her grandfather sleeping on the sofa in the living room. She went back to the room and found a thin mattress to cover her grandfather before going back to sleep.

When I woke up, it was brunch time again.

Looking at the empty house, only Sister Wang heated up meals for her.

Qiao Yu: "Where are the others?"

"I went to the hospital to see the kids."

"oh."

"Miss Qiao, is it a boy or a girl?"

"boy."

"Boys are better. They can form a boy-girl pair with Harue-chan."

Qiao Yu raised his head and wanted to say something, but he could only see the other person's distraught back as he left. He shrugged and continued to eat his brunch.

After dinner, she went to send a telegram to Haidao and the Red Flag Brigade.

The content of the telegram was very simple, without any punctuation marks.

[Second child boy]

Everyone knows that Yan Zi's due date is this month. These four words can explain everything very well.

After sending the telegram, Qiao Yu rode his bicycle towards the military hospital.

There were quite a few people gathered here today.

They are all family.

After all, it was a military hospital, and idle people could not get in, which also gave Zhou Jun an excuse to refuse visits from his colleagues.

"Military boy, have you thought of a name for your child?" the old man asked.

Zhou Jun: "Grandma, I've already decided on the name Zhou Libing."

The little goldfish exclaimed: "It's my nephew!"

Quadruplets: "Let me see, let me see!"

"We want to have some fun too!"

"Sister, he is your nephew, and also our nephew, right?"

The little goldfish sneered, "Why are you so stupid? Didn't you all call Xiao Chunzhi my niece? How could this be a surprise?"

“It seems so…”

"Yes."

"That's what happened."

Qiao Yu, who was embarrassed to watch: …How come my second brother and his wife are both very intelligent, but they gave birth to quadruplets with such bad behavior?

The old man saw Qiao Yu coming and waved to her, "Just woke up?"

The whole family came after having dinner.

Qiao Yu nodded and said, "We also sent a telegram to Haidao and the Red Flag Battalion to let them know we are safe."

Zhou's mother: "Speaking of which, Shuhui's belly is getting bigger. When is the due date?"

"I will go to see him in January next year or at the end of the year, and reunite with Lao Zhou at the same time."

With the birth of Zhou Libing and the presence of children around him, the old man's sadness faded away. Finally, with Qiao Yu's help, the old man wanted to shed a few tears to express his sadness, but he didn't have the energy to do so.

It was not until Zhang Zhan took the initiative to contact him that he remembered Zhang Fu.

Zhang Zhan hesitated for a moment, his eyes were a little sluggish, his head was buzzing for a while, and then he said, "Okay, I understand, Grandpa."

"How long will you be back?"

"It depends on how much time I have."

"… Come back soon. Take the train."

The last few words washed away some of the sadness, and Zhang Zhan said with a smile, "I know."

Zhang Zhan finally got some free time in November and bought a train ticket back to Beijing.

At the same time, Qiao Yu also set out early and went to the island.

Lao Zhou? His transfer order finally came, and he wanted to give Qiao Yu a surprise, but when he talked to Qiao Yu, he learned that the couple bought tickets for the same day.

Old Zhou felt very disappointed.

Qiao Yu tried to comfort him: "Think positively, this is also considered a telepathic connection, ok?"

"..." was not comforted.

When Lao Zhou arrived in Beijing, he found that his eldest brother-in-law had arrived a few days earlier than him, so he offered him a cigarette and chatted with him.

He doesn't smoke, but he always keeps a cigarette in his bag for easy exchange of cigarettes.

There were many children at home and it was a bit noisy, so Zhang Zhan and Lao Zhou came to the yard to chat.

Between men, a cigarette can establish a good friendship, not to mention that the two of them now have Qiao Yu as their button.

Especially after learning about my little sister's personality...

Grandpa is absolutely right. There are few men in this world who can adapt to my little sister's personality, except for our relatives. Even if there are men who can adapt to my little sister's personality, they will definitely be attracted by her appearance and family background, except for the man in front of me.

In the turbulent times, not only did she not sever her relationship, she also used her position to protect Qiao Yu, truly sharing the hardships together as a couple.

Zhang Zhan was dissatisfied with his brother-in-law at first. After all, his younger sister had just met her family and she deserved someone better.

But how many men are there who remain the same for ten years?

Zhang Zhan is a man and understands men’s bad qualities best.

"Just transferred back?"

"Yeah." Lao Zhou smiled bitterly.

"What?"

"I bought a ticket and she happened to be going to the island on the same day. Isn't that a coincidence?"

Zhang Zhan laughed unkindly, "Pfft, it's quite a coincidence indeed."

After taking a few puffs of cigarette, Zhang Zhan asked, "Has the housing application been approved?"

"Yes, it's right next door. I have discussed it with Grandpa and connected the two rooms. When the children come home for the New Year, they will have a room to sleep in."

"Not bad, I can apply for the house next door."

Zhang Zhan knows about the neighbors.

The family of my grandfather was of the same level, but there was no capable younger generation. Although he was rehabilitated, the one who was highly respected was long gone. None of the younger generation could make it. They relied on the help of others to get a few jobs in Beijing and moved out of the military compound.

"Yeah." Lao Zhou didn't say much.

Even if he didn't say it, Zhang Zhan knew it.

Zhou Ze'an is a capable person, but because he married Qiao Yu, he was somewhat affected during the turbulent times and was suppressed. Now, the Zhang family has gained power, with the help of Qiao Yu's family, and Zhou Ze'an himself is a capable person, so he was transferred to Beijing and promoted, and he is qualified to be approved for a large courtyard.

"Would you like to come with me to see my dad?"

Lao Zhou thought about it and shook his head: "No, she will mind."

Zhang Zhan nodded, "Got it."

When the car arrived, Zhang Zhan put out the cigarette butt and walked out of the yard.

The old man was sitting in the back seat and asked curiously, "What are you two talking about?"

Zhang Zhan looked at the old man and said, "Just, just chat casually."

The old man pouted in dissatisfaction, "You are just hiding something. Everyone in the family can talk better than you. When you come back this time, learn from your nieces and nephews. People with their personalities are more likable."

"Grandpa..."

"Hmm? What's up?"

"You're being a bit long-winded."

The old man slapped him on the shoulder, "You are so good, you even dislike me! You are getting cocky!!"

Zhang Zhan smiled but said nothing.

That's good.

At least he is much better than the dazed old man I met at the Party School.

There is no tombstone, but the area in front of the tomb is clean and free of weeds.

You cannot bring any feudal superstitious things when visiting, not even offerings of fruit and wine.

Zhang Zhan recalled what his biological parents looked like...

Very faint, so faint that I almost forgot it.

Although they are family, our relationship is shallower than that with strangers.

"Grandpa, let me talk to them for a while."

Hearing this, the old man and the guard left first.

Zhang Zhan looked at the two raised hills and said, "Mom and Dad, the policy won't get any stricter. Then I can contact Zhang Zhou and help you move to a good Feng Shui location.

Don't worry about having no one to burn money after you die. Zhang Zhou and I will still do our best to show our filial piety. After all, I paid the rent for the house you lived in, didn't I?

I'm living very well, very well, without your disturbance... To be honest, you did a good thing.

If you really want to disturb my younger sister, then it will be a problem for Zhang Zhou and me. Isn't this forcing us to break off the engagement like my younger sister?

Fortunately, it didn't come to that.

If only I hadn't made the mistake...

At least our family will not have barriers and choices."
