255. Living life is about getting by.
Chen Wei and Luo Da had been gone for most of the day, and the Luo family elders were unhappy because they couldn't see the child. They were too embarrassed to go directly to the Li family to check on him, so they sent Xiao San'er to check on him several times.
Since the birth of his grandchildren, Uncle Luo has been even more diligent in making money, claiming that he wants to save up for his descendants. He is very aware that now that he is a grandfather, he should be a good person. Because of the lesson he learned from his previous affair, he now thinks that with so much money, it would be good to buy toys for his grandchildren, so he is very cautious about matters of the heart.
Another important reason is that he doesn't want his grandson to be talked about behind his back in the future. Now his reputation is no longer just his own business, but also concerns his descendants. This matter has become very serious.
My third aunt was the same. She went to the provincial capital to see her grandchildren once, and came back grumbling for days. Her grumbling covered a wide range of topics. She reminisced about the past, how her three sons, when they were young, were poor and lacked food, clothing, and help with childcare. She sighed, comparing them to her grandchildren now—how pitiful! She also lamented how much money Li Xiaoming spent, looking at all the people she hired, though she acknowledged how well the children were cared for, each one like a doll in a painting, so adorable… And then, for the first time, my third aunt felt a pang of envy for Li Wei. No wonder, Zhao Chunyan had always felt incredibly proud of having three sons; her sons were all handsome and charming…
But now, finally, she discovered that someone was far more capable than herself. Not only did this person have many sons, but also a daughter. Most importantly, she completed the task on her first try, which dealt a blow to her third aunt.
So now, Luo Gang and Zhao Chunyan, the couple, are both focused on saving money and making the most of their lives. One is working diligently, the other is taking good care of the family, one rarely goes to places of entertainment anymore, and the other rarely plays mahjong.
The couple later learned that Xiaoming had saved up a fortune early on, and he didn't care even if his parents didn't provide financial assistance. Thinking about Chengfei running such a big company, Luo Gang and his wife couldn't help but feel secretly alarmed. They had never realized that she was just an obedient little girl. When did she start making money secretly? Luo Gang and his wife had never heard a word about this.
Grandma Luo, having been Li Wei's neighbor for many years, knew a thing or two and helped her son and daughter-in-law clear up their confusion. But this didn't enlighten them; instead, it left them even more bewildered. Elementary school? How could such a young child know about business and making money? And her eldest son was often seen escorting goods and payments?
This is a bit too shocking.
Luo Gang remembers that back then he was still wandering around with his wife. Later, he worked for his sister and only earned a little money. If it weren't for the chance to meet some friends and his determination to venture out on his own, to be honest, he would never have gotten to where he is today.
But that little girl, Li Xiaoming, is only a few years old... and she already knows how to rake money home. Her family and Li Zhaoxing's family have worked so hard for so many years, and they're nothing special. It seems I really underestimated her. No wonder a little girl can do whatever she wants. Even after she and her son made the Li family look foolish, that girl didn't seem afraid at all. She's got guts and guts. Who knows, she might be a money-making machine someday.
From then on, Luo Gang and his wife began to look at Li Wei with new respect. Especially recently after their return, the more they looked at Li Wei, the more pleasing she seemed. The more they looked at their grandson, the more pleased they felt. Meanwhile, the certain elder was completely ignored…
The Luo family was in a state of turmoil at home. They were all sitting on the sofa in the living room downstairs, listening intently for any sound. Finally, Luo Liwei returned with the child. As soon as the nanny opened the door, Zhao Chunyan, who had been unable to contain herself, jumped up and ran over, beaming, "You're back! Hehe... Quickly take the baby to the nursery. It's cold outside. Hurry, hurry! Here, here, I'll hold this one. You must be tired..."
Da Luo Li Wei -_-|||
It's only a few steps. These young and strong people carrying a four- or five-month-old baby are already tired?! -_-|||
So despite having many children, besides the dedicated childcare staff, there are even more unofficial staff. Once they return to the Luo or Li family home, the children's biological parents are relegated to the sidelines, unable to help at all. If the children didn't still remember that these are their biological parents and often reach out for hugs, they probably would have long forgotten about them.
Li Wei was quite relaxed. After washing up, she lay in bed and picked up a novel she had read before. She didn't dare pick up one she hadn't read before, fearing there would be too many unfamiliar words and it would be inconvenient to keep looking them up in the dictionary. After all, it was a holiday, and she couldn't concentrate as much as she usually did at home.
One of the benefits of going to college is now becoming apparent: there's no holiday homework.
Everything depends on self-awareness, and Li Wei has never lacked this self-awareness.
Originally, Da Luo's room didn't have a separate bathroom. So, for the couple's return, Luo Gang and his wife specially converted the guest room next door into a bathroom connected to a walk-in closet. The large wardrobe from Da Luo's room was also moved in, making the bedroom much more spacious. A more feminine dressing table was added, and the walls and curtains were changed to softer colors. The originally very rugged boy's room was transformed into a cozy and homey bedroom, although the changes weren't extensive.
Li Wei was reading a book by the headboard, while a certain Da was downstairs talking to his father, no one knew what they were doing. Uncle Luo was acting all mysterious, and Luo Er had also been called over.
It was quite a gathering of all the adult males in the family.
Li Wei had been reading for almost two hours when she became really sleepy.
I put the book on the bedside table, snuggled into the covers, and planned to go to sleep. Half-asleep, I wondered what the three of them were muttering about, taking so long…
Also, tomorrow she'll be calling her third aunt—now her mother-in-law—a title she's used for almost twenty years, and it's not something she can change overnight. Tomorrow… she's scheduled to go shopping for new clothes for the New Year with her mother-in-law…
Li Wei didn't know how long she had slept. In her hazy state, someone got into bed, slipped under the covers, and warmly pulled her into a tight embrace. The scent and feeling were so familiar. Li Wei shifted slightly, finding a comfortable spot to curl up, and mumbled without opening her eyes, "What time is it? Is something important...?"
A voice came from my chest: "Go to sleep, we'll talk about it tomorrow..."
Li Wei didn't press the matter further; she was indeed sleepy, and she couldn't hear what the man said next.
Because she slept at night. Okay, she didn't do any exercise, so Li Wei got up early too. She got up refreshed, washed up, and got dressed. A certain guy was still sleeping, his bare, muscular arms draped outside the blanket. This guy likes to sleep without a shirt on because he thinks it's too hot.
Li Wei tucked his arm under the covers. She made sure the blanket was pulled tight. He seemed to have come home quite late last night; Li Wei remembered glancing at the time before going to sleep—it was almost midnight. She wondered what important secret they had discussed. She'd have to ask him about it during the day.
Downstairs were the children. Only the eldest, Roy, was awake; the two younger ones were still asleep. Seeing her son reach out to her through the crowd, Li Weile happily went over and took him from her grandmother and aunt, kissing him gently, her heart overflowing with happiness.
Of the three children, Roy was the oldest and heaviest at birth, about the same weight as a normal baby. Next was Luo Er, and Xiao Ya was the youngest. When Li Wei first saw Xiao Ya, her heart clenched. She was really worried that Xiao Ya wouldn't be able to hold on. Her two sons didn't look very big to begin with, but Xiao Ya looked so small that it was heartbreaking.
So when breastfeeding, we always gave priority to taking care of the little girl. With the meticulous care that we spared no expense, the little girl lived up to our expectations and gradually became healthy and strong. Although she was not as strong as her two older brothers, she was no different from other normal children.
However, this also earned him more love and affection from parents.
Every time Da Luo enters the nursery, the first person he wants to hold and kiss is Xiao Ya. Li Wei is a little better, afraid that the two older children will not be happy, so she tries to hold Xiao Ya equally, but she still holds Xiao Ya for longer.
Then the second child, Luo Er, is more prone to crying and fussing. Whenever he sees Li Wei holding Xiao Ya or Luo Yi, he always has to express his opinion. Or if he is unhappy about something, or if he is wet or hungry, he always likes to express his opinion.
The most sensible and worry-free one is the eldest, Luo Yi. He rarely cries or fusses, just rolls his eyes around. He's also growing the fastest. According to Grandma Luo and Grandma Li Wei, both boys will grow tall, but the eldest will probably be bigger than the younger one.
It goes without saying that you can tell just by looking at genetics. Li Wei is above average for a girl, she's not short at all. But Li Lin and Li Lianhui are both tall. Li Lin is already close to 1.7 meters tall, and Li Lianhui is over 1.8 meters tall. Aren't boys usually very likely to resemble their uncles?
As for Da Luo, he's really grown up now. He was already taller than boys his age, and he's grown even more in the last two years. He's taller and stronger than Li Lianhui. These three kids are definitely not going to grow any smaller.
The eldest Luo is now the oldest in the Luo family, followed by the second Luo. The second Luo has also grown up and is about the same height as Li Lianhui, but he is thinner and very handsome. He is a handsome guy no matter how you look at him. Li Wei glanced at the second Luo and wondered when he had started to dress up. He was dressed quite well.
Li Wei couldn't help but praise, "Little Er, I didn't realize it. When you were little, someone said you were handsome, and I was a bit skeptical. But now it seems that person really has an eye for talent. They actually saw your true nature as the Monkey King from your monkey-like appearance back then. Look at you now, not bad, not bad. You could easily fool a bunch of girls if you stood out like that, hehe..."
Luo Er had been bullied by Li Wei since childhood and was used to her treating him like a child. Especially now that she was his sister-in-law, with his older brother backing him up, he had no chance of turning the tables. Especially his older brother, who hadn't helped him when he was bullied by Li Xiaoming when they were kids, and even less so now. Moreover, it seemed that Li Xiaoming had gained a lot more support: his own parents, grandmother, and the three young children who were considered future stars. He couldn't afford to offend them.
Luo Er smiled ingratiatingly: "That Sister Xiaoming... oh no, sister-in-law, who has such a discerning eye that they've discovered I'm actually a rough gem? They noticed me when I was just a pearl covered in dust?"
Li Wei smiled at Luo Er: "Hehe... Ding Anni, she said when we were little that you're Miura Yuuji, the one who looks... so much like him O(_)O haha~"
Luo Er immediately deflated: "Sigh, I thought it was someone with such discerning eyes who recognized a hero, but it turns out it was her. Her eyes are too suspicious."
For some reason, Ding Anni is considered a beauty, comes from a good family, and is now a university student. Yet, over the years, from the elders of the Luo and Li families to Luo Er, Li Lianhui, and even Luo San'er, not a single person has shown any interest in her.
My assessment of Ding Anni can be summed up in one word: fierce!
