With Qiao Yu's comfort, the old man ate his meal obediently and fell sleepy after the meal.

Qiao Yu asked the old man to get enough sleep before getting up to scold him.

The old man went to bed obediently.

Qiao Yu tucked the quilt in for him and said with a gentle look, "You'll feel refreshed when you wake up. Sleep well and have a good dream."

The old man slowly closed his eyes.

Qiao Yu tiptoed to close the door and turned around to see his second brother Zhang Zhou leaning against the wall, playing with a pen, wondering what he was thinking.

Hearing the noise, he met her gaze and put the pen back into his shirt pocket.

Zhang Zhou lowered his voice, "Are you asleep?"

"Yeah, I forgot about it when I woke up."

Zhang Zhou hesitated to speak.

Qiao Yu: "Tell me what's going on."

"My husband and I will leave with Zhou Wen in two days."

Qiao Yu waved his hands, "I guessed it. Go ahead. The child will be taken care of by you and your second sister-in-law. You don't have to worry about Grandpa."

"……Thanks for your hard work."

"Oh, nothing."

Zhang Zhou still felt bad.

He and Zhang Zhan were raised by their grandfather, and when their grandfather was about to die, he sent them away as granddaughters who were adopted by him halfway through their life.

They and Grandpa are good to my younger sister, but they support her financially, leaving her with less time to bond with her...

He will send more money later.

Even though I know my younger sister is not short of money now.

Jian Xinyu also agreed with Zhang Zhou.

Jian Xinyu: "I asked my dad, they were exhausted from taking care of the first and second children. They also apologized to me earnestly, saying that they shouldn't have forced me to get married and have children, and they regretted it...haha."

She couldn't help but laugh, and then said, "Sorry, I couldn't help it."

Zhang Zhou's brows relaxed, "You should smile more often. You look very pretty when you smile."

"I stay in the lab all day, how can I be happy?"

"Is it something to be happy about when your parents-in-law apologize to you?"

"Yeah." She didn't say it out loud, but her inner thought was: It's just asking for trouble.

She gave birth to four grandsons, but she tortured them and made them suffer the consequences.

Jian Xinyu did not dwell on this topic any further and continued, "It was not until my younger sister moved to Beijing and successfully brought up the eldest and second child that my parents felt much more relieved.

Since my younger sister is helping us raise four children, I should send her more money. I don't need to worry about my parents for now, as they will retire in a few years and they will have their own pension when they retire."

"Okay, I'll listen to you."

When Zhang Zhou, Jian Xinyu and Zhou Siwen left, they kept it a secret from their old man.

The only people who came to see him off were Qiao Yu and Lao Zhou.

The others are still sleeping.

Old Zhou was talking to Zhang Zhou and his wife, while Qiao Yu was telling Zhou Siwen, "We are not short of money at home, so don't be too busy and forget to eat, it will hurt your stomach. You are young now and don't think it's a big deal, but when you are your father's age, you will know how painful it is.

I am a good doctor and can help you take care of your body, but it takes time. You are a researcher, so what you lack is time, right? Don’t work overtime now, you have to make time to treat the disease later…”

Zhou Siwen smacked his lips and said, "Mom, how do you know I didn't eat on time?"

"Do you think your mother's medical skills are fake? Just take my pulse and you can tell everything."

"Well...I will eat on time."

"You have to chew slowly and don't rush. Eating too fast can hurt your stomach, and eating too much can damage your esophagus."

"Mom, I'm not that fragile."

Qiao Yu sighed, "I don't know what's going on in our family. Everyone is destined to marry and have children late, except your eldest brother who got married early.

If you have a lesbian like your second aunt by your side, why would I worry about it?

By the way, are there any colleagues of yours who can sleep well? If so, don’t waste time. If you waste time, you will end up like your fourth brother, who didn’t dare to make it clear that he got married and could only watch helplessly. "

"...Mom." Zhou Wen's scalp tingled.

Then the body and mind relax.

He hasn't been home for a long time, and it seems like he doesn't feel alienated from his family at all?

Especially my mother, she is still the same.

Qiao Yu muttered a few words and then stopped, "Okay, okay, okay, I won't rush you. There's no rush for this matter, let's take our time to choose. Otherwise, if we marry a troublemaker, the whole family will suffer..."

It's getting more and more outrageous.

Zhou Wen couldn't resist and got into the car.

Qiao Yu sighed, "This child, how old is he, he can't even face such a small thing..."

Zhang Zhou glanced at him and remembered how popular his cheap nephew was in the laboratory. He was a treasure that everyone was fighting for.

The adopted nephew always maintained a cool image and did not act in any manner. He would let his superiors transfer him to any department.

I didn't expect that I could be so childish and embarrassing at times.

Zhang Zhou sneered and said that it is better for children to have mothers.

Suddenly I thought of Fu Yujing again...

Well, he can also not have it.

After watching the rear end of the car disappear, Qiao Yu turned around and saw the curtains in the room on the second floor were quickly drawn.

Qiao Yu hesitated for a moment and asked Lao Zhou: "Did you see it just now?"

"Yes, it's Grandpa's room."

"Waking up so early..."

"What do you want to eat? I'll go to the kitchen to prepare it."

"Just do whatever you want."

Lao Zhou said this because he wanted to leave some space for her and her grandfather alone.

After answering, Qiao Yu went upstairs.

He knocked on the door tentatively before pushing it open and entering.

The old man curled up in a ball under the quilt.

Qiao Yu tried to communicate with him, "Grandpa?"

"Why did you come back?"

"This is my home. If I don't come back, where will I live?"

"Just go with your second brother."

Qiao Yu heard his childish voice and said with a smile, "Even if I follow them, they won't accept me."

"Then you and your second brother kept it a secret from me."

"What did I hide from you?"

"He was leaving and you didn't tell me."

"Well... didn't you watch me leave too?" I really didn't tell you. Wasn't it because I was afraid that you would be sad?

Why.

Qiao Yu feels that as you get older, life becomes much more difficult.

How could she have imagined in the past that she would be so patient as to coax others now?

She couldn't help but think of Lao Zhou again.

Lao Zhou is so much older than me. What if he also gets the disease and needs me to take care of him? What should I do?

"It's different."

"Grandpa, how about we come out from under the covers and talk? It's not good for your breathing if you cover yourself like this."

"don't want."

"Why?"

"That's it."

"Oh, well, do you want breakfast?"

"Just eat it under the covers."

"But the sheets will get dirty... If they get dirty after a meal, there won't be enough to wash."

"Then don't change it."

"The bed sheets are dirty. Mice love to visit. Grandpa, do you want to sleep with mice? Mice can eat people. What if one chews off one of your ears..."

The old man came out from under the bed sheet and looked at Qiao Yu with fear in his eyes, "Why is it so scary?"

"Hey, what I said is true."

"real?"

"It's more real than gold." Qiao Yu coaxed her a few more times before saying, "Old Zhou is making breakfast, Grandpa, why don't you go downstairs and have breakfast?"

"I... okay." I can't eat in bed, otherwise my ears will be eaten by mice.

It's so scary.
