Chapter 443: Do Things According to Your Heart
It was the first time that Tan Chen heard his parents mention that he had a grandmother.
But think about it, they entrusted me to an outsider like Tan Mingshan and didn't even send me to my grandmother's house, so their relationship must not have been very good.
"Is my mother planning to return to the capital?"
Tan Shaowen nodded: "Well, I will go back with her tomorrow morning."
Tan Chen could see that his father was fulfilling his responsibilities as a husband, and there was obvious helplessness in his tone.
"Dad, you've had a hard time on this journey. You stay here with grandpa and the others. I'll accompany mom to the capital."
Tan Shaowen himself was unwilling to set foot in the Jiang family, let alone let his son go.
"No, you can't handle the Jiang family. I'll go with your mother."
Seeing that his father was quite determined, Tan Chen gave up the idea.
"Then Dad and Mom should rest early today."
Tan Shaowen put down his chopsticks: "Okay, let's put aside the unhappy things for now. I want to see the little ones."
Tan Chenli turned around and went into the room, and together with Shang Ruoting, he came out holding the two babies.
When Tan Shaowen saw the two cute little babies, the gloom on his face disappeared instantly.
"Tan Chen, Ruoting, please don't say anything yet. Let me see if I can tell which little grandson is mine."
Shang Ruoting smiled and handed Erbao to Tan Shaowen's arms.
The second baby, who was sleeping soundly, chirped twice and then grinned.
When Tan Shaowen saw his grandson like this, his heart was warmed, and all the fatigue from rushing on the journey was instantly swept away.
He carefully looked at the sleeping Erbao, gently picked up his little hand and looked at it, then raised his head and said: "This must be Erbao."
"Dad, you are so awesome. How did you tell them apart?" Shang Ruoting was obviously a little surprised.
Tan Shaowen held Erbao's little hand in front of Shang Ruoting and Tan Chen and said, "Erbao has a crescent on the nail of his left thumb, but Dabao doesn't."
Shang Ruoting didn't expect that the child's grandfather had discovered something before she did.
In order to verify whether what Tan Shaowen said was true, she ran back to the room and looked at Dabao's fingernails.
Sure enough, there was no crescent on the nail of Dabao’s left thumb.
"Dad, you're amazing. I was with the kids all day and didn't even notice."
Tan Shaowen smiled and said, "You guys are busy taking care of so many children every day, how can you have the energy to pay attention to these things?"
As he spoke, he returned the second baby to Shang Ruoting, and then took the third baby: "Grandpa's two granddaughters really can't be distinguished. Is this the third baby or the fourth baby?"
In fact, Shang Ruoting and Tan Chen have been in contact with children for a long time, so they can still tell the difference between Sanbao and Sibao. There is a rice storage area the size of a pinhole on Sanbao's ear.
"Dad, this is Sanbao. Look above her ears." Tan Chen said, pointing at Sanbao's rice storage.
Tan Shaowen looked carefully in the direction of Tan Chen's finger and said, "Don't say it, it's true, hahahaha... Our Sanbao also has a mark, and grandpa will never make a mistake again."
Jiang Ping had almost packed her things, and when she walked out of the room, there was a barely noticeable trace of fatigue on her face.
Shang Ruoting had just heard Tan Chen briefly talk about the situation in Beijing. She didn't know how to comfort Jiang Ping about this matter. No matter what the relationship was like in the beginning, family affection was still difficult to give up.
Especially at this moment of life and death, it is understandable that Jiang Ping chose to go back to see her old mother for the last time.
At least I can live my life without regrets.
After all, today is New Year's Eve, and the family should drink tea and watch TV together.
Shang Ruoting and Tan Chen coaxed the little ones to sleep and then went to the living room to accompany their family.
Although the affairs of Jiang Ping's parents' family were not brought to the surface, everyone in the family knew everything they needed to know.
In the end, it was Mr. Tan who saw that the atmosphere was a little off and spoke first.
"Jiang Ping...you and Shao Wen are going back to the capital tomorrow. Just do what's in your heart. Don't worry about anything. If the Jiang family dares to embarrass you, Shao Wen won't just sit there and watch. At worst, I, an old man, will back you up!"
Mr. Tan originally wanted to encourage and support Jiang Ping by saying these words, but unexpectedly, his words made Jiang Ping cry.
It was New Year's Day, and Jiang Ping felt a little guilty about crying in front of so many people.
She blinked hard several times to stop the tears from flowing.
"Dad, I know what's going on. You should stay here and celebrate the New Year. Shao Wen and I will discuss the matters in the capital."
Old Master Tan nodded and said, "Well, don't bother with those irrelevant people. Just know that you are a member of my Tan family. You have a husband, a son, and four wonderful grandchildren. That's enough."
