Chapter 244 Holding Grandson

On the last day of the year, in the early morning, the first heavy snow fell quietly in Yancheng.

Frost got up early in the morning and saw heavy snow flying outside the window. The lawn in the yard was already covered with a thin white blanket.

When she went out, she stood under the eaves and looked up at the falling snowflakes. She reached out to catch one, and it was a beautiful hexagonal star.

She heard footsteps behind her and turned around. He Tingzhou came out in a black coat, holding a beige cashmere scarf in his hand, which he wrapped around her neck.

Shuang Xu stood obediently in front of him, looking at him with her almond-shaped eyes.

"What's wrong?" He Tingzhou asked.

She shook her head: "Nothing."

He Xingwei has been on vacation recently, so it's a rare occasion that both he and Shen Changyuan are free. He Tingzhou and Shuang Xu are not busy, and Shen Yu is not working overtime today. The two families simply get together and celebrate the New Year in a lively and noisy manner.

The family banquet was held in the He family compound.

The He family's decoration is in a retro and elegant Chinese style. The plum blossom-shaped windows are full of oriental charm, and there are flower and bird paintings hanging on the walls. The house was always deserted in the past, but in recent years, with He Tingzhou and Shuangxu coming back frequently, it has become more and more popular.

Several elders at the table took turns to congratulate Shuangxu Company on its successful listing. After dinner, He Wenjing and his wife came with Lu Manman and Cheng Xi. They happened to meet two neighbors in the compound who came to visit, and the house became even more lively.

"Our Shuang Xu is so amazing!" He Wenjing was happier than her own daughter's successful career, and she smiled and praised Shuang Xu.

Lu Manman was jealous: "Am I not that great?"

"What are you so good at?" Lu Manman was able to develop such a naive character, which was naturally inseparable from He Wenjing's pampering since childhood. "Your father and I don't have any requirements for you, just be happy every day."

Lu Manman was very satisfied: "How could you two raise a waste like me?"

The old comrade with gray hair smiled and said, "Commander, you are so lucky. Your son and daughter-in-law are both outstanding people. They have successful careers. I think you will be able to have a grandchild soon."

This was a big jump in the topic, and everyone else in the living room paused in unison.

Shuang Xu was drinking warm water from a cup. He glanced to the side when he heard the words.

He Tingzhou was peeling oranges nonchalantly and had no reaction to the topic.

No one in their families had ever mentioned having a grandson. Since the topic had come up, He Wenjing asked, "Yes, you two have been married for almost three years. When will you consider the next step?"

The He family is small, with only two members, father and son, in the past twenty years. Looking around the entire Yancheng, one cannot find such a poor family.

This father and son have been talked about countless times after dinner. Each of them is a rare talent, but unfortunately the old one can't let go of his deceased wife, and the young one is heartless and cold-hearted. He only fell in love for the first time at the age of 29. When others are as old as He Tingzhou, they would have illegitimate children all over the place.

Now that he is married, he will definitely have children to expand the He family.

Without waiting for Shuang Xu and He Tingzhou to answer, Fu Yun said, "They have only been married for a few years, so it is most important for them to live a good life first. Our Shuang Xu is still young and her career is on the rise, so there is no need to rush about having children."

A mother always puts her children first. Shuang Xu is not yet 26 years old and is still a child in Fu Yun's eyes.

He Wenjing said: "Shuangxu is still young, but Tingzhou is not young anymore."

"That's right." Lu Manman interrupted, "A man's golden period is only a few years... Oops!"

He Wenjing smiled and took back the hand that had hit her: "Children's words are innocent."

"They're getting married next month and they still have children." He Tingzhou fed the peeled orange to Shuang Xu's mouth and threw out a powerful criticism, "Director Cheng, do you know that you have violated the Law on Protection of Minors?"

Cheng Xi, who was quiet and taciturn, also said: "..."

Lu Manman immediately jumped out to defend her socially anxious fiancé: "I will be an adult next month, is that not okay?"

Frost Preface was almost bitten by the orange.

The old comrade has four grandchildren himself, and his views are different from those of the young people: "You two are such a good match. If you have a child who inherits your good genes, he will definitely be beautiful. Besides, your father also wants to have grandchildren."

He Tingzhou was unconvinced: "He's not in a hurry, why are you in a hurry?"

"Who said he wasn't anxious?" the old comrade said, "I don't know how jealous he was when he saw my grandson."

He Xingwei is not the kind of person who only cares about his grandchildren. He immediately waved his hand to clarify: "This is their business. Whether to have a baby or not, and when to have a baby, is up to them to decide."

He Wenjing thought what the other person said made sense: "You are already 32 years old. Even if your father is not anxious, you should be anxious."

He Tingzhou remained unmoved and skillfully redirected the disaster: "As for being anxious, a 34-year-old widower should have something to say."

Suddenly, everyone at the table focused their attention on Shen Yu.

Shen Yu: “…”

Speaking of age, he is two years older than He Tingzhou. His aborted marriage with Lu Manman was also a hot topic of gossip in Yancheng. Who would have thought that things would change, and his sister, who was eight years younger, got married first, and he is still single now.

Fu Yun's worries were touched upon, and she looked worried.

Seeing Shuang Xu and He Tingzhou being affectionate after marriage, but Shen Yu remained silent, how could she not be anxious?

Shuang Xu touched He Tingzhou with his arm warningly: Don't talk nonsense.

He Tingzhou readily apologized: "Sorry, let me correct you, I am a 34-year-old single."

...what's the difference?

Shen Yu crossed his legs and replied calmly: "We are talking about your business now, why drag me into it."

He Tingzhou: "Who told you not to live up to expectations?"

He was a stubborn person, and he was able to engage in a debate with a group of scholars. He Wenjing didn't want to waste her energy on him and changed the topic to talk about Lu Manman's wedding next month.

It was already past dawn when they left the compound after the New Year's Eve. Shen Yu sent Shen Changyuan and Fu Yun back, and the guests and the Lu family also left one after another.

He Tingzhou and Shuang Xu were the last to leave. It had been snowing heavily all day and the snow in the yard made a crackling sound when they stepped on it.

Shuang Xu was being led by He Tingzhou. When they reached the car, she suddenly grabbed He Tingzhou.

"Don't you like babies?"

He Tingzhou turned around, brushed off the snow on her hair with his fingers, and said in a casual voice: "Who said I don't like you?"

"I'm not talking about me." Shuang Xu asked in a different way, "Don't you like children?"

The way he just argued with the crowd clearly showed that he had no interest in the child at all.
