Looking at the clean and tidy room, which showed care in every detail, Lu Zhankai and Meng Yuan were deeply moved.
Stepping forward and shaking Huo's mother's hand, Meng Yuan said, "Mom, we don't lack anything. You've prepared everything so well, really!"
"That's good, that's good!" Mrs. Huo breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this.
Looking at her two adorable grandsons whose eyelids were practically drooping, she said with a loving expression.
"The child is sleepy, and you've all been working hard for days. Go take a hot bath and go to sleep."
Before leaving, he reminded her, "Sleep in tomorrow, don't rush to get up."
"Okay, Mom."
After Mrs. Huo left, the room suddenly became quiet.
Lu Zhan got up and went to the bathroom to fetch a basin of hot water, then washed the two little ones' faces and feet.
The two children fell asleep almost instantly upon touching the bed, their little faces turning rosy in no time.
By the time they finished washing up, lay down in bed, turned off the lights, and rested, it was already past eleven o'clock at night.
They were exhausted, but neither of them felt sleepy.
"Can't you sleep either?" Meng Yuan asked softly after some time had passed.
"Hmm." The room was very soundproof, and Lu Zhan's voice was clear in the darkness. "It feels like a dream."
He paused for a moment, then added, "My parents and grandparents are really good to us."
Meng Yuan neither confirmed nor denied these remarks.
After a moment of silence, she said, "Sometimes I think, you are unfortunate, but you are also extremely blessed."
The reason he was considered unfortunate was that he was switched at birth when he was young and never got to grow up in front of his parents.
This missed opportunity meant missing out on more than thirty years.
Speaking of good fortune, he met his adoptive parents.
Since adopting him, Mr. and Mrs. Lu have truly treated him like their own son, never letting him suffer the slightest grievance.
Even after learning about his background, they did not choose to hide it.
Instead, she told Lu Zhankai everything, leaving the choice to him.
Similarly, his biological parents also gave him a lot of respect and did not force him to choose between his biological parents and his adoptive parents.
In the darkness, Meng Yuan's voice was very gentle.
As she finished speaking, she leaned closer to her husband.
"Such wonderful parents are hard to find even with a lantern, and you've found two pairs at once."
"Your younger brothers care about you a lot. Isn't that a blessing?"
Lu Zhankai didn't speak, but listened quietly.
After a long silence, he gave a heavy "hmm".
On their first night in their new home, the couple didn't sleep a wink, just chatting casually.
However, they were not the only ones suffering from insomnia.
Grandpa and Grandma Huo are currently flipping through their family photo album, discussing taking a family photo sometime.
Huo's mother and father were in the room talking about funny things that happened when their children were young.
It's understandable that the adults are like this, but I don't know what's wrong with Sui Sui and Zhao Zhao today.
Normally, he would be sleeping like a log by now, but today he not only didn't sleep, he was full of energy.
When Jiang Si returned to the room after taking a bath, the two little ones were happily munching on their tiny fists.
It makes smacking sounds from time to time.
After nibbling for a while, Zhao Zhao probably got bored and turned to stare at her chubby little feet.
However, the many clothes she was wearing restricted her movements.
After trying for a while and realizing he couldn't bite it, he could only grab his toes and have a great time.
Looking at the two little ones who showed no signs of sleepiness, Jiang Si was both annoyed and amused.
"It's already eleven o'clock, and those two are still not asleep. Are they going to play all night?" she asked.
Huo Tingzhou was also helpless about this, "There's nothing I can do. I've tried everything I can think of, but he just won't fall asleep no matter what I do."
"I guess the two little ones got a little too excited because they saw so many unfamiliar faces today."
As he finished speaking, he looked tenderly at Jiang Si.
"It's not just them, I reckon none of my parents and grandparents will be able to sleep tonight either."
Jiang Si smiled after hearing this, "Actually, I was also a little excited and couldn't sleep tonight."
She paused for a moment, then added, "I've never seen my parents and grandparents so happy before. This year is probably the happiest year they've had in decades."
Huo Tingzhou nodded.
The next second, he reached out and pulled Jiang Si into his arms.
The couple sat quietly beside the rocking bed.
After a long pause, he said, "This year is also the happiest year of my life."
When he said this, Huo Tingzhou's tone was filled with unprecedented gratitude and satisfaction.
“Yes, me too,” Jiang Si replied.
However: "These two little devils still won't sleep. Do we really have to play along with their antics all night?"
Huo Tingzhou thought to himself, "It shouldn't be that bad."
But looking at the two children's little feet moving happily, he felt that this was really hard to say.
Just as Huo Tingzhou was worrying about how to coax the child to sleep.
Little did he know, someone was already rolling around in bed with envy because he had a daughter.
The one who envied him was none other than Brother Huo the Second.
He didn't think much of it when there were no girls in the family.
But ever since I saw my older brother's quiet and gentle niece, Yao Yao, who calls him "Second Uncle" in a soft and sweet voice today...
And then there are my third brother's adorable twins, a boy and a girl, whose laughter is so sweet and clear.
It's no exaggeration to say that just thinking about Brother Huo makes my heart melt.
If he had a daughter, he would braid her hair every day.
I need to buy some cute dresses too.
