"I am indeed very lucky. If Lu He were really my biological daughter, that would be wonderful. My only regret in this life is not being able to watch Lu Chen grow up." Jiang Mingjing's biggest regret is Lu Chen.
If Hai Lanjuan were alive, they would definitely have both a son and a daughter, and they would definitely live a very happy life.
His wife passed away, but she left him with an excellent son.
"Don't think too much about it. Lu Chen can call you father, so he must have forgiven you in his heart." Jiang Minghe comforted Jiang Mingjing, saying, "Don't worry about it either. The most important thing in life is to look to the future. I can no longer work now, so I can consider it a peaceful retirement. It's just that you people have to suffer and keep going."
Jiang Mingjing listened to his elder brother's words without responding.
"You must understand that your future depends on continuing to endure before you can see the light. Mingjing, you still have a long way to go, so take care of yourself," Jiang Minghe said sincerely to his younger brother.
Jiang Mingjing nodded and said, "I understand. Let's not talk about this during the New Year."
Jiang Minghe smiled and nodded.
Jiang Jinyao stood to the side, not fond of talking about these things.
"I've discussed it with Yao Yao. After the New Year, I'll stay here and help take care of the child. You need to take good care of yourself too," Jiang Minghe instructed Jiang Mingjing.
"I know, you should take care of yourself." Jiang Mingjing is in good health, so these words should be said to Jiang Minghe.
The newborn baby was still half asleep. After a good night's sleep, he opened his eyes and saw a stranger.
His eyes were wide open, like those of a commander.
"Little Star, I am your great-uncle."
Jiang Mingjing spoke to Little Star in a coaxing tone.
Little Star stared wide-eyed at the man who called himself her great-uncle, her face full of allure.
"This young man isn't shy at all!" Jiang Mingjing said with a smile as he looked up at Jiang Jinyao.
Jiang Jinyao smiled and was about to respond.
“That’s right. When I first saw him, he stared at me too. He wasn’t scared at all, and he even smiled at me,” Jiang Minghe replied happily. He felt a sense of closeness when he first saw his grandson.
This intimacy is truly subtle, yet it's also tightly intertwined.
"Ah~" Little Star screamed. He opened his mouth, trying to speak, but could only make this sound.
“Little Star, are you wondering who I am? I’m your great-uncle, and this is your maternal grandfather,” Jiang Mingjing continued to say to Little Star.
The little star laughed, and to the old man, a child's laughter was the most beautiful laughter.
Jiang Jinyao watched her father and second uncle sitting together, chatting and laughing. Such a scene was very rare, and this was the first time she had ever seen it.
It turns out they've all gotten old.
Jiang Jinyao also realized that she had grown up and become a mother.
As we grow older, we gradually lose many things.
Jiang Mingjing finished talking and the child needed to rest, so he went home.
When Jiang Mingjing returned home, both children were asleep, and Lu Chen was waiting in the living room.
"Still not asleep so late?" Jiang Mingjing asked as he came in.
"Dad, do you want to get a late-night snack?" Lu Chen stood up from the stool and asked Jiang Mingjing.
Jiang Mingjing shook his head and said, "I'm not eating. I'm getting old, and my body can't digest anything I eat. I'm not hungry."
He looked down at the book that Lu Chen was reading intently.
"These are parenting books. Is it because you're not getting along well with your children?" Jiang Mingjing asked curiously.
Lu Chen said, "It's precisely because I don't understand that I need to learn. I spend a lot of time in the military, and the children spend very little time with me."
Lu Chen's relationship with the children is still not very smooth. He always feels that he doesn't know the children as well as his wife, even though his wife is just like him, working outside and only seeing the children after getting off work every night.
However, his wife knows everything about the child, and sometimes he has to ask her for help. He can only read books to see if he can find some ways to understand the child.
Jiang Mingjing nodded and said, "That's good. But children shouldn't rely too much on books. You should spend more time with them, smile at them more, and chat with them more. They won't say they don't like you."
After listening, Lu Chen agreed that it made sense and nodded in response.
"Grandpa?" Da Nian poked his head out of the room and called out with a grin.
Jiang Mingjing looked at a head popping out from the crack in the door behind him, and asked with a kind smile, "Da Nian, still not asleep so late?"
"I'm waiting for Grandpa, I want to sleep with Grandpa," Da Nian said happily.
Da Nian waited in the room for a long time, but Grandpa didn't come back.
He heard his grandfather's voice, so he got off the bed, poked his head out, and saw his grandfather's figure.
"Are you dressed yet? Are you cold?" Jiang Mingjing looked at Da Nian with a happy expression.
Da Nian opened the door and came out, smiling happily, saying, "Grandpa, I'm dressed, I want to sleep with you."
Jiang Mingjing picked up Da Nian, and it was clear that he was struggling.
But he could still pick him up and look at Da Nian, saying, "Okay, Grandpa will sleep with Da Nian."
Her eyes were full of love for the child as she looked at Da Nian and asked, "Are you hungry?"
He ate dinner very early today, but he wasn't hungry. He asked about Da Nian with concern.
Da Nian shook his head and whispered in Jiang Mingjing's ear, "Grandpa, I have cookies and bread rolls, I'm not hungry."
Lu Chen looked at this kid, who was even whispering to his grandfather, and felt helpless.
"Really?" Jiang Mingjing cooperated with Da Nian, showing great surprise.
"Shh~" Da Nian made a shushing gesture.
Jiang Mingjing pursed his lips and remained silent.
