On the first day of the Lunar New Year, Liang Guiying and Zhou Yue took Zhou Xiaonian to pay New Year's visits.
First go to the Zhong family's house, then go to Aunt Wang's house.
Both families were overjoyed and deeply moved to see her transformed, and Uncle Zhong almost shed tears. Finally, he said to Zhou Yue:
“Zhou Yue, although I was the one who contacted the military unit for you, you wouldn’t be where you are today without Grandma Niannian. We’ve all seen what kind of person she is these past few days; she’s a good person and she’s been very good to Niannian. But as for Zheng Fangshu, don’t be soft-hearted. You and he are on different levels now. You finally climbed out of that pit, so don’t fall back down, even if Grandma Niannian begs you. Of course, I don’t think Grandma Niannian would beg you.”
Zhou Yue nodded: "I will remember Grandma Niannian's kindness to me and Niannian for the rest of my life. As for Zheng Fangshu, I don't care about him anymore. Uncle Zhong, Grandma Niannian said in her letter that she received help from you and Aunt Zhong whether she was setting up a stall or opening a shop, so I am especially grateful to you."
Zhou Yue said the same thing to Aunt Wang: "Aunt Wang, thank you for taking care of Niannian. I will remember it for the rest of my life."
After the grandmother and granddaughter left, the Zhong family and Aunt Wang's family were all happy for Zhou Yue, feeling that she had finally made it through.
However, Aunt Wang's daughter-in-law, Lin Fang, still chimed in, "If Zhou Yue goes to the army and gets promoted, he should immediately take Niannian with him. I just don't know if he'll take Niannian's grandma with him too."
Aunt Wang also had this question, but she neither asked Zhou Yue nor answered her daughter-in-law.
Lin Fang had another question: "Zhou Yue is still so young, do you think she will remarry? If she does, and the man doesn't accept Niannian, will Niannian still have to live with her grandmother in Jiangcheng?"
Aunt Wang can indeed answer this question.
“I don’t think Zhou Yue has that idea. Even if she does, she’s so outstanding and smart now, it’s impossible for her to find a man who doesn’t accept Nian Nian. If he doesn’t accept Nian Nian, then that man will never win her favor.”
Lin Fang thought it made sense, so she told Li Yang that she should teach Fei Fei to be more capable in the future: "People who are too weak are more likely to suffer. Also, you need to take good care of yourself, and I need to take good care of myself too. Parents are a child's greatest source of strength... Zhou Yue was meant to be this dazzling from the very beginning."
Li Yang agreed wholeheartedly: "I understand. I will definitely take good care of myself. You must be tired from taking care of the child. We have a nanny at home. Don't always take care of the child by yourself. Don't tire yourself out."
The Li couple were deeply in love, while Liang Guiying took Zhou Yue to see the empire she had built for her.
On the first day of the Lunar New Year, both the ice cream parlor and McDonald's were closed, and the shops were clean and quiet.
Liang Guiying smiled and said, "The ice room will only open on the third day of the Lunar New Year. We'll come over then and let everyone get to know the real proprietress."
Zhou Yue exclaimed in surprise, "Grandma Niannian, these shops—"
“It was transferred to you a long time ago, so that the Zheng family wouldn’t keep thinking about it. But it’s best if you and I keep this to ourselves. Your uncle and grandmother at least care about their reputation, but your aunt is shameless. If she knew this shop was yours, she would definitely try to make things difficult for me.”
At this point, Liang Guiying asked Zhou Yue, "Today is the first day of the Lunar New Year. Are you going to visit your uncle to wish him a Happy New Year?"
“No.” Zhou Yue said decisively. “Later I’ll go and light incense and burn some paper money for my parents so they know that I’m back on track and can be just as good as them in the future.”
"We should go, we should go."
Zhou Yue went to pay respects to her parents on the morning of the second day of the Lunar New Year.
Her memories of her parents are very faint; she only remembers that they loved her very much.
"Dad, I passed the selection for the flight team and am qualified to learn to be a pilot. Soon I will be able to fly the fighter jets you used to fly, just like you."
