Chapter 374 Extra Chapter 23 (Final Chapter)
Jiang Cheng didn't think of Shen Yue, because Zhuangzhuang had too many questions and didn't allow her time to think about it.
As Zhuangzhuang grows up, his curious nature has not diminished, but has become even more amplified.
From first grade to sixth grade, Zhuangzhuang always ranked last in every exam.
The news that all the members of the Shen family are college students but they grow bitter melons at home spread far and wide.
Jiang Cheng has a good attitude. It doesn't matter whether the grades are good or not, since they have money anyway.
Nowadays, it is better to control yourself than to control your children.
Although Zhuangzhuang's test scores are average, he is really strong in other aspects.
For example, doing experiments and building rocket models with bare hands are all enjoyable things for Zhuangzhuang.
Zhuangzhuang’s favorite thing is to go to George’s laboratory in City S. He spends ten days or half a month there during every winter and summer vacation.
The rest of the time will be spent traveling with Jiang Cheng and Grandma Shen.
When Zhuangzhuang was seven years old, Shen Xing suddenly said that he wanted to get married.
This news shocked Jiang Chengshen, as they both hoped that Shen Xing would get married.
Plus, Grandma Shen is getting old, so it would certainly be better if she could see Shen Xing get married.
But the two of them had never heard that Shen Xing was in a relationship.
Even Shen Yue didn’t notice it!
The whole family looked at Shen Xing, waiting for him to continue speaking.
Shen Xing, who is almost thirty years old, looked embarrassed for the first time.
"You all know each other."
Jiang Cheng and Shen Que looked at each other. Do they know each other?
"It's Xing'er."
When Xing'er's name came out, Shen Que and Jiang Cheng's first reaction was to be overjoyed.
Xing'er and the others are really too familiar with each other.
After cooperating with Jiang Cheng, Xing'er quickly accumulated wealth, bought a piece of land in Beijing where every inch of land is valuable, and built a pharmacy.
Over the years, Xing'er has been learning and has never stopped on the path of curing diseases and saving lives.
She stays in Beijing for eight months every year. During these eight months, Xing'er sees patients every day. No matter whether the patients are rich or poor, everyone is treated equally and they all have to queue up to get a number.
The number of numbers per day is limited to prevent them from being sold by scalpers.
For the other four months of the year, Xing'er traveled around with a medical box on her back, working as a traveling doctor.
Jiang Cheng looked at Shen Xing curiously and asked, "How did you and Xing Er...get together?"
Shen Xing lowered his head and showed a happy smile.
"I was on a mission and ran into Xing Er."
While on a mission, you ran into Xing'er?
"Are you hurt?"
Everyone looked at Shen Xing nervously, and Shen Xing nodded and said, "It's all right, Xing Er is very good."
As for what the mission was, he couldn't say.
Jiang Cheng and the others understood, but they still felt bad for their own children.
Shen Que patted Shen Xing on the shoulder and said, "Good job."
Shen Xing and Xing'er's marriage was thus settled.
Shen Xing has limited time and Xing'er is also very busy every day.
After the two confirmed that they had feelings for each other, they got their marriage certificate directly without even having a wedding.
They were so efficient that even Jiang Cheng was amazed.
On the day of getting the marriage certificate, the whole family sat together for a meal to celebrate for the couple.
During the meal, Jiang Cheng asked the two how they would live in the future, after all, each of them was busier than the other.
Shen Xing and Xing'er looked at each other with tenderness.
"I won't be on a mission soon."
Xing Er smiled gently and said, "I won't be a traveling doctor anymore. Now that I've become famous, there are more patients at the pharmacy than I can handle. I will go to get off work and leave on time every day."
After hearing this, Jiang Cheng and Shen Que stopped asking questions and the couple made arrangements.
After Shen Xing got married, he spent more time back at the Siheyuan.
Whenever they have time, he and Xing'er will return to the courtyard on weekends and have dinner with everyone.
Every time she comes back, Grandma Shen is very happy.
As for Shen Yue, Jiang Cheng couldn't tell that she had any plans to get married.
After graduating, Shen Yue went directly abroad to study fine arts.
While abroad, she made a name for herself in the art circle and started holding art exhibitions.
Jiang Cheng and Shen Que, along with Grandma Shen and Zhuang Zhuang, flew abroad specifically to support.
After holding an art exhibition abroad, Shen Yue returned to China to develop her career and rejected job offers from abroad.
After returning to China, Shen Yue became a teacher at a fine arts university, which many people did not expect.
But Shen Yue herself was very happy.
She has plenty of free time every day to continue painting, and although teaching students sometimes makes her feel depressed, it's okay.
As for dating and getting married, it’s not that Shen Yue has never been in love. She has been in love a few times, but it just didn’t get to the point of marriage.
She has seen the love between Shen Que and Jiang Cheng, and the love between Shen Xing and Xing'er. In Shen Yue's heart, it is better to be alone than to be with someone who is not good enough.
If she can't find someone who is attracted to her both spiritually and physically, she would rather be single.
Of course, this is what she said to Jiang Cheng, and Jiang Cheng also expressed his understanding.
As for Grandma Shen, Shen Yue didn’t say anything.
Time passed and Zhuangzhuang went to junior high school.
Zhuangzhuang, who is in junior high school, grew 20 centimeters taller within a year.
He moved from the first row to the last row of the class, and his height exceeded 1.85 meters.
Every time Jiang Cheng took Zhuangzhuang out, he had the illusion that he was bringing a bodyguard with him.
After entering junior high school, Zhuangzhuang's grades changed dramatically.
From the last place, he steadily improved and finally entered the top three in the class.
In the high school entrance examination, he was admitted to Qingdao University with the top score and chose microbiology.
Jiang Cheng and Shen Que were indescribably proud.
When Zhuangzhuang was in his second year of high school, Grandma Shen suddenly caught a cold and developed pneumonia.
At this time, Grandma Shen was already ninety-three years old.
Everyone is back.
Shen Xing brought his and Xing'er's twins, and Shen Yue had already cried like a tearful person.
Zhuangzhuang was also asked for leave by Jiang Cheng, and everyone was in the hospital to accompany Grandma Shen.
Grandma Shen's health had been a little bad in the past few years. She was hospitalized once and almost died that time.
Now it happened again, and no one thought Grandma Shen could survive it.
Xing'er tried her best to help Grandma Shen recuperate, but the aging of body functions could not be stopped by anyone.
On this day, Grandma Shen was in better spirits. Everyone seemed very happy on the surface, but they felt heavy inside.
"Don't look so sad, my life is so worth it."
"The first half of my life was extremely miserable, but with you in the second half, I didn't suffer at all, and it also broadened my horizons."
"Don't cry, this is called a happy funeral."
"Let's pack up for today and go home."
Grandma Shen wanted to leave in a dignified manner, and Jiang Cheng and others did not want to make Grandma Shen uncomfortable at the last moment.
The family packed up and went home.
After returning home, Grandma Shen came out with several boxes and gave one to everyone.
"This is what I saved. I'm giving you a small portion as a keepsake."
"The big portion is for Jiang Cheng... Auntie promised you, everything that belongs to Auntie is yours." After hearing this, Jiang Cheng couldn't hold back his tears any longer and cried bitterly while hugging Grandma Shen.
"Auntie - I don't want you to leave!"
"Who am I to gossip with if you leave!"
When Jiang Cheng started crying, no one could hold back.
Grandma Shen’s eyes sparkled with tears as she held Jiang Cheng’s head.
"If you hadn't told me, I would have forgotten about it. If you hear any interesting gossip, remember to tell me about it, okay?"
"Don't cry, it's a blessing for a human being to die peacefully without any pain or disaster."
After hearing this, Jiang Cheng tried hard to hold back his tears and nodded.
"Okay, I'll tell you everything! I'll tell you everything I hear."
"Okay, okay!"
Grandma Shen stood up and said to everyone, “I’ll cook for you, let’s eat together.”
No mistake, just one song, one post, one content, one look!
Grandma Shen insisted on doing it, and everyone followed behind to help.
While helping, they were despised by Grandma Shen, as if they had returned to the days when they lived in the courtyard house in City S, and they were also despised by Grandma Shen in the same way.
The meal was prepared in such an atmosphere, and everyone sat down and ate together.
Grandma Shen ate very little and kept looking at everyone who was eating with a smile on her face.
That night, Grandma Shen fell asleep normally.
Xing'er and Jiang Cheng guarded her.
At six o'clock the next morning, Grandma Shen died in her sleep.
Xing'er withdrew her hand from feeling the pulse.
"Grandma, she passed away peacefully, without suffering."
Jiang Cheng held Grandma Shen's still warm hand, crying and laughing, "That's good, that's good."
Grandma Shen's funeral was simple, with only family and friends coming to see her off.
After being cremated, Grandma Shen’s ashes were placed in the courtyard.
Jiang Cheng would sit there with a book every day and nag Grandma Shen.
The days passed one by one, Zhuangzhuang was admitted to university, and after graduating from college, he went abroad to continue his studies.
When Zhuangzhuang came back from abroad, he went directly to the research institute and officially became a member of the State Council.
At the age of 45, Jiang Cheng and Shen Que began to withdraw from the company and prepare to retire early.
After handing the company over to professional managers, Jiang Cheng and Shen Que began their retirement life.
In the huge courtyard, there were only two of them left.
A bit quiet.
Jiang Cheng and Shen Que simply raised pets, two dogs and a cat.
In addition, they planted some vegetables and flowers in the yard. Every day, the two of them played with cats and dogs, watered the flowers and grew vegetables, which completely activated the potential farming genes of the Chinese people.
Not only that, the two also started traveling around.
Go out and play for a while, then come back and rest for a while.
In the courtyard, under the ginkgo tree, there are two rocking chairs, one on each side, drinking wine together, and growing old together.
In your spare time, you watched the sunset with me, and when we were eating, you asked me with a smile if the porridge was warm.
When you are outside, you can enjoy the hustle and bustle, but when you are home, you can enjoy the warmth and love.
The two of them accompany each other and protect each other.
The leisurely and loving retirement life ended when Zhuangzhuang got married.
When they were fifty-six years old, they had a grandson.
Still two!
Twins, boys.
Zhuangzhuang got married quickly. Both of them are busy scientific researchers.
The task of raising the child fell on Jiang Cheng and Shen Que.
From then on, the huge courtyard was bustling with activity every day because of the presence of the children.
The cat and dog at home finally encountered the "disaster" in their lives.
The two little kids grew up little by little. The older one was quiet, cool and steady since he was young.
The little one has been sweet-mouthed since childhood, and can even praise a stone into something beautiful.
However, the two little kids have one thing in common, which is that they love grandpa and grandma the most.
Of course they like their parents, but their parents are often not around.
Fortunately, Jiang Cheng and Shen Que did not spoil their children and they educated the two little ones very well.
As the two little ones grew up, Jiang Cheng and Shen Que also had gray hair.
When the two children were eighteen years old, Jiang Cheng was seventy-six years old and Chen Que was seventy-nine years old.
Both of them are in good health and can usually eat two bowls of rice.
Two little kids, the cool eldest brother inherited Jiang Group and Shen Group, and the second brother chose to start a new technology business and researched new technology every day.
No matter how busy they were, they would go home at least once a week to eat, chat and take walks with Jiang Cheng and Shen Que.
In their later years, Shen Xing and Xing'er, who were also old, moved back to the courtyard and lived with Jiang Cheng and Shen Que.
At this moment of old age, ages seem to become much more equal.
Four people are playing mahjong when they have nothing to do, one is growing flowers, one is growing vegetables, one is raising fish, and one is walking the dog.
In short, everyone has their own hobbies, so life is not monotonous.
As for Shen Yue, she became a model in her old age and even appeared on the covers of foreign magazines.
She had a passionate love affair, got married, and had a daughter.
But the relationship eventually went sour and she left with her daughter.
Throughout Shen Yue's life, she was soft and had no personality when she was young, but as she grew older, she became the most independent one.
Shen Yue often said that her eccentricity was the confidence given by Jiang Cheng.
Therefore, she also gave her daughter enough confidence.
The seasons change and time passes.
In the blink of an eye, it's Chinese New Year again.
The Zhuangzhuang couple now have white hair, and their two little kids have now returned with their wives.
Shen Yue also came back from abroad with her daughter, and everyone gathered together.
"Dad—you sit here."
"Uncle, eat this soft food."
"Here's the juice!"
It was noisy and full of joy.
Jiang Cheng and Shen Que sat in the main seats, looking at the scene of four generations living under the same roof, and they exchanged a glance with tacit understanding.
Shen Que held Jiang Cheng's hand.
"Luckily you're here."
"Lucky to meet you."
The two smiled silently.
I am fortunate to have met you, and I have no regrets in this life.
