In the evening, the whole family gathered at the old house.
Zibo, Zizhong, and Zishu were all about the same age and had already been admitted to university two years ago. Zibo and Zishu went to Jingda University, while Zizhong, contrary to everyone's expectations, went to Haishi to attend university.
Ziji, Zichun, and Zixia are in their third year of high school and will soon be facing the college entrance exams, while Ziqiu and Zidong are still in their second year. Zijiu is in his third year of junior high, and the youngest, Zimo, is already in his first year.
After dinner, everyone sat in the main room and chatted. Xia Youyou publicly announced the news of her pregnancy and her upcoming trip to Pengcheng with Qi Siling.
After everyone got the news, while they were happy for her, they couldn't help but worry about her health.
Na Ru had given birth to a child, and Cao An had also seen Na Ru giving birth. Of course, he knew the hardships of childbirth, but he had to respect her decision.
Only Chenchen, he ran from Naru to Xia Youyou, "Aunt, wherever you go, Chenchen will go too!"
Xia Youyou couldn't bear to leave him either, so she reached out and held him in her arms. Since he was born, she had spent more time with him than her brother and sister-in-law, and had long since treated him as her own child. If she left the capital this time, she would definitely have to leave him too.
Thinking of this, her eyes turned red and she hugged him, unable to speak.
Cao An knew that the two of them had been apart for most of the past few years, which was really tiring, so he very much supported Xia Youyou's decision to go to Pengcheng.
Although they could accompany her at home, no one could compare to how important Qi Siling was to her.
He stood up, walked to Xia Youyou, squatted down, looked at her at eye level, put his big hand on her head, and looked into her tearful eyes.
"Don't worry, I'll take Chenchen to see you when I'm free."
With more and more planes flying around these days, there are some things that are inconvenient to let Chenchen know. He is a very unstable person, and we are afraid that he will tell his friends about some strange things at home and attract attention. Therefore, when traveling, everyone should try to avoid using aircraft.
It was fine when Chenchen was young, but when he was two years old, he noticed something was wrong, so Cao An decided not to use aircraft anymore and usually took airplanes of this era for travel.
Xia Youyou nodded, put her arms around Cao An's neck, and leaned on his shoulder.
She didn't want to be separated from them at all!
But my sister-in-law works here, the Anhai Machinery Factory is also here, and it is even more inconvenient for grandpa and his grandfather to move. The little radishes have grown up, and the fledglings always want to fly out to see the outside world.
All good things must come to an end, and separation is inevitable!
Cao An caressed her head lovingly, nuzzling her hair with his nose. "Don't worry about home. Since you want to have a baby, take good care of yourself and don't worry about everything. Si Ling has already prepared a house over there. You can go there and hire a few nannies to take care of your food and daily life. As for the outside world, your brother Xiao Hai and I will take care of it. You two just have fun for a year."
Chenchen also leaned on his father's other shoulder and imitated him, stroking his aunt's face with his little hands. "Auntie, don't cry. Chenchen will go to see you with Dad."
At such a young age, he already knows the meaning of parting.
Xia Youyou sobbed and cried when she heard this.
Liu Hui also sat by the side, wiping her tears. She had to let go even though she was reluctant. It was really hard for the young couple to be separated like this. They couldn't let Xia Youyou suffer the pain of missing her just because they couldn't bear to let her go.
There was no choice in the past few years. Hua University needed her, and she chose this path herself. Now Hua University has finally agreed to release her, and her family cannot hold her back.
"Okay, this is a happy thing, we can't cry." Na Ru came over and pulled Chenchen out of Youyou's arms.
Cao An is an extraordinary existence to Xia Youyou.
After her soul returned, Cao An was the first person she trusted. So, she hugged Cao An and cried bitterly, because she couldn't bear to leave him.
Qi Siling patted her back gently, "Be good, didn't you say you should stay in a good mood? Stop crying." His heart was broken by her crying!
Cao An held her shoulders and pulled her away from him, put his big hands on her face, and roughly wiped her tears.
Her skin was delicate, but she had been sunburned the past couple of days, and her face was still a little red. Cao An had calluses on his hands, and they scratched her painfully.
"It hurts~" Xia Youyou cried even harder and grabbed his hand to stop him from wiping it.
Cao An had no choice but to wipe her tears with the back of his hand. "Alright, you've cried like a cat. Chenchen can't even cry as hard as you!"
"Don't talk about aunt!" Chenchen was dissatisfied. He broke free from Naru's hand, and touched Xia Youyou's face with his two little hands, wiping his aunt's tears on behalf of his father.
Xia Youyou burst into laughter, wiping away the tears that had flowed down her chin with the back of her hand. "Our Chenchen loves Auntie the most!"
"Of course!" Chenchen raised his little face proudly, "The one I like and love the most is my aunt!"
"Heh, that's not what you said last night!" Naru said coldly from behind.
Chenchen's body stiffened, and he turned back to flatter her, "Mom~ You are my favorite mom! Auntie is my favorite auntie!"
Ziqiu and Zidong raised their eyebrows and looked at each other, "Oh~ we are not in love anymore~"
Chenchen's face flushed with anxiety, and he scratched his head with a wry smile, "Hehe, Second Aunt and Third Aunt are also my favorite Second Aunt and Third Aunt!"
Oh, he made the water level!
Everyone in the main room burst into laughter, and the sadness of parting finally dissipated.
Seeing that Xia Youyou had finally calmed down, Cao An pushed her into Qi Siling's arms, stood up, and took Na Ru's hand and sat back in her seat, leaving his son alone in the wind, disheveled and exposed to everyone's ridicule.
Although Cao Yuchu was still young, he had already shown his eloquence and made everyone very happy.
Xia Youyou leaned against Qi Siling, looking at Chenchen with some worry, "What if you become a playboy in the future, little guy?"
"Aunt, what is a playboy?" Chenchen didn't understand.
"A playboy is nice to all girls."
"Why should I be nice to all girls?"
"Uh..." This question stumped Xia Youyou.
Qi Siling answered for her, "Everyone's heart is small, so small that it can only hold one person. But everyone's heart is also big, able to hold many things. So how big is Chenchen's heart? Is it big enough to hold the fickleness of many people, or is it just the pettiness of this one thing that won't let go?"
Chenchen was a little distressed. "I have so many people in my heart. Does that mean I'm fickle?" He started counting on his fingers. "In my heart, there are my aunt, my uncle, my parents, my grandma, my uncle Hai, my great-grandfather, my great-grandfather Xiao, and my grandpa and grandma."
He walked up to Xia Youyou, spread out her hands, and twisted her fingers. "There are still many, Uncle Zibo, Uncle Zizhong..."
Everyone watched him count them one by one, and he counted everyone without missing any.
"Uncle, is this what you call a playboy?"
Qi Siling shook her head. "When I say fickle, I mean someone besides your family. For example, Xiaoxue from kindergarten, do you have feelings for her?"
Xiaoxue is the prettiest little girl in the kindergarten. She wants to go home with Chenchen every day and will cry if he doesn’t let her.
Chenchen hurriedly shook his head, disgust flashing across his face. Who would want to pretend to be that crybaby in his heart!
Xia Youyou smiled and pinched his little nose, "Then Chenchen is not a playboy."
Cao Yuchu nodded seriously, "Of course not!" It didn't sound like a good name.
