Just before the Chinese New Year, Zhuang Zhimeng met her second brother's two children.
Zhuang Yixin, also known as Zhuang Yishu, nicknamed Doudou and Qiqi, is one year older than Pangpang and Naonao.
My second brother and sister-in-law have both returned.
DouDou and QiQi both really like this aunt they've only seen in photos.
He had only been with Zhuang Zhimeng for less than half an hour after they met.
Zhuang Zhimeng let Pangpang and Naonao play with their two cousins while she went inside.
I overheard my second brother and sister-in-law discussing something with my mother.
"Mom, Xinzhu and I are going to university after the New Year."
I want to go to the Military Command Academy, and Xinzhu wants to go to the Military Medical University.
"I'll have to leave DouDou and QiQi in your and Dad's care."
"Mom, thank you for your hard work, Dad."
Hao Caiyun immediately expressed her support for her son and daughter-in-law to continue their studies.
"Okay, your dad and I will take care of you, no problem."
Besides, we have in-laws on our side, and anyone can take good care of them.
It means taking care of two more children at the same time.
Zhuang Zhimeng also supports her second brother and sister-in-law.
"Second brother and sister-in-law, go and study with peace of mind. Make sure you seize the opportunity to go to university."
"You can leave the children with us without worry; we can also help out when we're at home."
Zhuang Zhiwu and Shu Xinzhu were very grateful.
"Thank you, little sister. After I graduate, I might be transferred back to Beijing, then we can see each other more often."
"Little sister, I'm sorry to trouble you."
Zhuang Zhimeng smiled.
“Our family loves a lively atmosphere. Now that we have four kids and two dogs, it’s going to be especially lively.”
Zhuang Zhiwu also made a guarantee.
"I can graduate in two years, and then I'll bring them to live with me."
"Okay, it's still very important for parents to be there for you. You should come back and visit them more often when you have time."
Zhuang Zhiwu was in a dilemma.
Shu Xinzhu helped explain.
"Your second brother and his colleagues are prohibited from taking family visit leave for two years. They are under closed management and studying."
I'll try to spend more time back here, but we also have a rule that students can't leave the school during their first year.
Zhuang Zhimeng understands.
"You can focus on your studies without worry."
We will often show your photos to the children so that they will never forget you.
We'll bring the children to visit you when we have time.
Shu Xinzhu couldn't help but give her little sister a big hug.
"Little sister, your sister-in-law doesn't know how to thank you enough!"
Zhuang Zhimeng patted her second sister-in-law on the back.
"You're welcome, we're family."
Hao Caiyun looked pleased and asked her son and daughter-in-law.
"Have you discussed this with DouDou and QiQi?"
Shu Xinzhu released her younger sister and answered her mother-in-law.
"We explained it to them, and they agreed, so we brought them both back."
They knew there were two younger cousins there, and they agreed because they wanted someone to play with.
Zhuang Zhiwu told his mother and younger sister.
“I promised to bring them home in two years, and they seem to have accepted that arrangement.”
DouDou and QiQi were asking their uncle.
"Uncle, are you going to university?"
An Qingbai glanced at his two little nephews who were circling around him.
"Yes, in a while, my aunt and uncle will be going to university."
By then, only your grandparents and chubby grandparents will be left at home.
You all need to take good care of them and spend quality time with them.
DouDou QiQi immediately felt very important and patted her little chest.
"Okay, we can take good care of the grandpas and grandmas."
When the chubby boy heard this, he ran over and shouted loudly.
"We can do it."
The people inside laughed when they heard this.
Over the next few days, family members gradually returned home.
This year, the two families spent the Spring Festival together, and both went to Zhuang Bingqian's house.
Zhuang Bingqian was particularly pleased.
Everyone agreed to get together to celebrate the Lunar New Year every few years.
After the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, the family members left one after another.
Xiazi and Mengge also returned from their hometown, bringing gifts for Zhuang Zhimeng and An Qingbai.
Zhuang Zhimeng asked.
"Xiazi, you're not going to keep the yarn?"
Jiang Yanxia sighed.
"Actually, I wanted to bring the dog back a while ago, but who would have thought that my mother-in-law is afraid of dogs."
No one in the family has said anything about it.
So I'll have to leave the yarn with you.
Zhuang Zhimeng looked at Meng Ge'er.
Su Mengmeng nodded.
"I didn't know my mom was afraid of dogs."
Just a few days ago, when we first arrived in Beijing, my mother was chased by a dog and ran a long way.
I've been afraid of dogs ever since, and I still can't stand seeing them.
"Then don't bring the yarn back. Don't cause any more trouble for Auntie."
Zhuang Zhimeng invited them to have a meal there and gave the money to Meng Ge'er.
A few days later, Zhuang Zhimeng and An Qingbai visited their uncle and aunt.
I hadn't had a chance to visit before, but I took advantage of the Chinese New Year to bring gifts and visit you.
Su Mengmeng's mother warmly welcomed them.
"I'm so glad to finally meet you all. I've heard Mengmeng and Yanxia talk about you all the time."
They praised how wonderful you were and how much you helped them.
I've been wanting to thank you all for a while now. Since you're here today, you absolutely must have dinner before you leave.
Make yourself at home.
Meng Wanru said she was going to cook.
Zhuang Zhimeng and An Qingbai quickly stopped the person.
"Auntie, please don't bother, we'll just sit for a bit and then we'll leave."
Meng Wanru disagreed.
"No, it's not right to not treat you to a meal when you come to my home. That's not how you treat guests."
You guys go talk to Mengmeng and the others and eat some fruit. I'll have it ready in a bit.
