"It's nothing. Your dad just retired from the army and he's feeling down, so I'm just finding him something to do," Yan Xiaonan said casually.
Shen Shaohua fell silent. She knew what being discharged from the army meant; she guessed her father couldn't handle the blow.
Nan Nan is right. Bring Yan Li over. Hopefully, the child's innocence will bring joy to his father.
As soon as Shen Mingtian entered his office, he tore up his resignation letter. While he was changing his work clothes in the inner room, he suddenly sneezed several times.
He took out a handkerchief and wiped his nose, guessing that Nan Nan must have gone to find his daughter, and the two of them were probably plotting how to exploit his labor.
Shen Mingtian pondered how the two little girls would exploit his labor.
Should I continue managing the club's flowers, clean the toilets, or climb out the window to wipe the glass?
Shen Mingtian was thinking about doing the dirtiest and most tiring work, but a smile was playing on his lips. He knew what Nan Nan meant; she simply wanted to keep him from overthinking.
The next morning, when he saw Yan Li standing in front of him with his big, bright eyes, Shen Mingtian smiled.
How could he forget his eldest grandson? He picked up Yan Li and gave him a big kiss on his tender cheek.
"Call me Grandpa, and Grandpa will give you candy," Shen Mingtian coaxed the little guy.
“Big Brother,” Yan Li called out.
"It's not 'Grandpa,' it's 'Grandpa,'" Shen Mingtian corrected.
"Big Brother." Yan Li continued blowing bubbles.
"Alright, then it's fine if Grandpa is a grandpa. He can't eat candy, otherwise your mom won't let him drink alcohol," Shen Mingtian said to himself.
Holding her eldest grandson, she prepared to start working and took out a document to look at. Her grandson snatched it away, and she quickly and carefully coaxed him to take it back.
After putting away the documents, I took out my water glass to make tea, but my eldest grandson had wet himself. Looking at the large wet patch on my pants, I could only shake my head.
After finally changing his diaper and pants, my eldest grandson started crying again. Judging from his expression, he must be hungry.
He knew his daughter didn't have breast milk, and his grandson was raised on formula, so he didn't want to go to Shao Hua anymore.
I took out the baby bottle and formula, prepared the milk, tested the temperature, and started feeding my eldest grandson.
The little one was very well-behaved while drinking milk, and finished the whole bottle in no time.
He thought his eldest grandson would sleep for a while after finishing his milk so he could continue working. But when he took his grandson, he pooped again.
Shen Mingtian resignedly took out the diapers, as well as the small basin and towel that Shen Shaohua handed him.
Suddenly I felt that Yan Xiaonan was too bad. How could he let him take care of a child's eating, drinking and toileting?
He put down the small basin and called Shen Shaohua over with a phone call: "Take care of your own kid, hurry up, he's already pooped all over his pants."
Shen Shaohua rushed over, and as soon as he reached the door, he heard his son crying inside. He quickly pushed the door open and went in.
The son was held in Shen Mingtian's arms, and as for the mess he had made, he had already cleaned it up.
After all, he was his own grandson; how could he let the child sleep in a pile of excrement? Fortunately, there was a restroom and hot water in his office.
Not only did they clean the child thoroughly, but they also dressed him neatly.
Shen Shaohua picked up Yan Li and tapped his little nose: "You naughty boy, you've worn your grandpa out."
The little guy was blowing bubbles and babbling incoherently.
Looking at the time, I realize I should give Dad some work this afternoon, otherwise he won't be able to get off work tonight.
After leaving Shen Mingtian's office with the little one, Shen Mingtian breathed a sigh of relief. Without the baby, even the air felt fresh.
Yan Xiaonan has already received a call from Ye Ren; the investigation on Zhang Mengdie's side has yielded results.
She quickly drove home, thinking it was better to discuss family matters at home, especially when it involved other people's affairs, she had to be more careful.
Upon arriving home, Ye Ren handed her a stack of documents, which Yan Xiaonan carefully read before finally letting out a sigh of relief.
The person who could fulfill Zhang Mengdie's dream was her maternal grandmother. When her grandmother was young, she had a fiancé, but they got separated during the war.
Unexpectedly, the two met again in the capital when they were old. It was definitely impossible to rekindle their romance, as they were both elderly people with children.
However, the relationship between the two was very friendly; it was the kind where if you were in trouble, I could help you, and if I had a problem, you could listen to me.
At that time, Zhang Mengdie's uncle encountered obstacles in his career development. It was the early days of reform and opening up, and in a fit of anger, he simply resigned and went into business.
During that period, this uncle also traveled between the south and the north, working hard and tiringly, but fortunately, he reaped considerable rewards.
After my uncle made some money, he bought a big house and planned to move my parents out of the old tenement building and into their own big house.
The old woman, however, was unwilling. Her daughter was still outmaneuvering her stepmother-in-law, and if they left the tenement building, wouldn't things fall apart?
For his sister's sake, the uncle insisted on living in the tenement building for several more years. Fortunately, the moon finally broke, and the brother-in-law published a statement in the newspaper, severing his father-son relationship with Old Man Zhang.
At this time, the maternal grandparents finally moved out of the tenement building and even bought Zhang Mengdie an apartment.
Old Zhang was furious. "You're just a small business owner. Do you think I'm afraid of you?"
Back then, being a self-employed was not a respected profession; anyone with a bit of influence could easily trample on it.
It was during this awkward period that Zhang Mengdie's grandmother's close friend stepped in.
It turns out that he is now the top leader of the Economic and Trade Commission. When he learned that his former fiancée's granddaughter was being bullied like this, he couldn't stand it.
After some maneuvering, Old Man Zhang was completely defeated, losing face and essentially ruining his future.
Later, Zhang Mengdie begged her grandmother to let her study in the United States. Her grandmother actually knew about Liu Jin and was even more aware of the Yan family's power.
So she begged them again to give the girl a way through, and when they heard that the girl was going to find the Yan family's child, they had no reason not to refuse.
Therefore, Zhang Mengdie, with a large sum of money sponsored by her uncle, flew alone to the United States and found Liu Jin.
When Liu Jin first saw Zhang Mengdie, he could hardly believe his eyes, knowing how difficult the path to education was.
Given Zhang Mengdie's family situation, they shouldn't have been able to apply for admission. Since they were able to get here, they must have their own methods.
He was worried that there might be some conspiracy in China that could endanger his aunt's safety, but overseas calls were not only expensive, but there were also many things that were inconvenient to say over the phone.
So Liu Jin wrote a long letter overnight, explaining his situation in detail, hoping to get his aunt's attention.
Yan Xiaonan really took it seriously, and when she learned what it was about, she could only smile wryly.
The Yan family has already made a name for itself, and people are eager to get involved in anything related to them.
