Time flies, and a few years have passed in a hurry.
In the New Year of 1989, Zhou Jiao worked part-time as the deputy director of the Economic Research Office. In her father's words, his daughter conquered a lot of men with her brain power.
As for the price, she is almost becoming a flying person.
When she got off the plane after returning home that day, she was greeted by four chubby, pink and tender little babies. Every time Zhou Jiao saw them, she felt that she could not love them enough.
Too bad they're all boys.
The older pair of twins are Ping'an's sons, and the smaller, wobbly pair are Liuyi's.
Two years later, her two sons had twins one after another. At that time, the threshold of her house was almost trampled down by people, and everyone asked her what the secret was.
If Zhou Jiao could tell me, what’s the secret?
She must have stuffed a pair of her twin sons' clothes into her pillows when she moved, but no one would believe her if she said that.
Life has become more and more comfortable in recent years. If there is anything that worries her, it is her son Wuyi - this guy just doesn't want to get married.
It was not until last year that she could no longer tolerate it and gave him a good beating with a feather duster, and he finally agreed not to worry about marrying Geng Baobao when he was 30.
When I think of how outsiders describe my youngest son as a man of careful thinking, eloquent speech, and someone who has repeatedly secured the greatest interests for the country at the negotiating table, I feel a surge of disbelief.
Zhou Jiao couldn't help but want to laugh.
Her daughter Wuyi is more pretentious and childish than anyone else in private.
But fortunately, she took action. Now the couple's relationship is better than before. This time she hurried back for the baby Geng who was due to be born.
Who made her daughter Wuyiqiong so nervous that she kept shouting: Mom, please come back soon, I’m scared to death, my belly is so big, I wonder if it will explode.
Zhou Jiao picked up her grandchildren one by one, leading the group of little kids into the car. Suddenly, the brick-shaped cell phone she had spent a lot of money on in 1987 started ringing.
"Wife, leave the babies to Xiao Zhu and the others. I'm going home now. Go to the main hospital first. Wuyi said his wife is about to give birth."
Look, she arrived just in time!
Zhou Jiao quickly explained to her grandchildren that she had to pick up their little sister first and asked them to follow their uncles to their grandfather's place. She thought they would not agree, but it turned out to be a good thing!
Everyone was so excited that they urged her to go and take the little sister home! The pair of chubby little hands clapped for the sister, almost red from clapping, which made her heart distressed.
As soon as Zhou Jiao arrived at the General Hospital and stepped into the delivery room, Wuyi rushed to her side and said, "Mom, I'm inside."
You're in there?
Zhou Jiao glanced at her son unhappily, then couldn't help but pat him lovingly, comforting him, "Don't worry, Mom's here. How long have you been in there?"
"It's not even an hour yet. I said I was in pain for a long time, Mom..." Wuyi hadn't finished his words when he heard the cry of a newborn baby. He opened his mouth in surprise, "It's coming out so soon? Forget it, I don't want kids anymore. It's too scary. It almost killed me."
Zhou Jiao couldn't bear to look at her stupid son, so she quickly walked to the glass door, next to Miao Lishan and the others, and imitated them, staring at the crack in the door.
With the experience of her two previous daughters-in-law giving birth, Zhou Jiao, the mother-in-law, clenched her hands tightly and waited quietly for the second cry to be heard.
Yes, it's twins again.
She no longer had time to think about how many people would come to her doorstep next.
Less than ten minutes later, the second cry was heard. Miao Lishan shouted in delight, "Listen, listen quickly, this must be the daughter."
"Really? Grandma, are you sure?"
"Sister-in-law, this voice must be different."
"That's great, we finally have a girl in our family."
The Geng family, young and old, who were a step late in arriving after hearing the news, burst into joyful laughter when they heard their voices.
——Other families are going crazy missing their sons, but only in this family, everyone is missing their daughters so much that they are almost possessed!
As soon as the door of the delivery room opened, Zhou Jiao quickly raised her hand to stop them and looked at her fifth sister-in-law nervously.
Doctor Guan couldn't help laughing. "Both the adults and the child are doing well." She paused deliberately, "Junior sister, they're twins. You finally have a granddaughter. Congratulations!"
"Hey, congratulations." Zhou Jiao immediately pulled Miao Lishan, "Mom, I'm going to call my dad and Xiaowu to tell them the good news. Please keep an eye on the kids."
"Don't worry, it won't be lost."
Zhou Xiaozheng was undoubtedly very happy about the arrival of his only great-granddaughter. As soon as Zhou Jiao informed him, he and Zhang Guoqing arrived within five minutes of each other.
The father-in-law and son-in-law still had some conscience. They praised the older brother a few words and hugged his younger sister, never wanting to let go.
"Exactly the same as my Jiaojiao when she was a child."
Zhang Guoqing said doubtfully, "Dad, really?" His wife is so beautiful! No, although his granddaughter is a little red, she will definitely be a great beauty in the future!
This made Mr. Geng on the side so angry that he almost hit someone with his cane! He hadn't even glanced at it yet, so how could he understand the importance of respecting the elderly and loving the young?
…
This year, January 1st, is the first day of welcoming a new era.
Looking at his three grandsons who have all become fathers, Zhou Xiaozheng officially announced the launch of the "Soldiers' Home" Charity Foundation at the dinner table.
1992. Qingming Festival, the old Gu family residence in Jiangnan.
The private museum named after the Gu Family Pearl has been under preparation for several years. Now all renovations have been completed and it is waiting for an auspicious day to open.
In the yard, Zhou Xiaozheng held Miao Lishan's hand in one hand and his great-granddaughter, whose full name was Gu Nianxi and nickname was Beibei, in the other hand, and told the history of the Gu family in a gentle voice.
Behind him were pairs of young couples, holding their grown-up children's hands, quietly listening to the stories of their ancestors.
Zhang Guoqing and Zhou Jiao held hands, looked ahead and smiled at each other.
Hold your hand and grow old with you.
This is my best promise to you, you to me, and us to each other.
…
As time goes by, their generation is getting older.
The stories that once belonged to the couple gradually became just rumors, while the next generation of children were taking over from their fathers and continuing to carve out their own names.

Final remarks
First of all, I would like to thank all my friends who have been with me along the way.
Thank you for your support!
After more than 400 days, this book is finally finished. As I type these words, I feel very excited. At least I have persevered and I give myself a pat on the back.
For my next new book, I want to tell the story of an ancient man who traveled back to the 1960s.
I had the idea half a year ago and have been hesitating whether to open two offices at the same time, but I was always worried that I would lose sight of one while focusing on the other and end up giving up.
Thankfully, it finally came to an end on the last day of 2018.
I'd like to mention Wuyi and Xiaojiu here, and I won't reply to each person in the comment section.
Honestly, I think what everyone said makes sense.
But let me plead with you all on Wuyi's behalf.
Especially jly69 who has been supporting me with rewards, and my favorite I Like 2007 who has always been with me, and even many friends who have been with me for more than a year and given me support.
When I was first conceiving May Day’s view on marriage, my mind suddenly wandered to this: What does it mean to meet the right person at the right time?
Xiaojiu and Wuyi, if they had met five years earlier, would it be considered meeting the right person at the right time?
When Wuyi stepped out of the country and integrated into an internationally renowned university, his social circle had undergone tremendous changes, especially since he was also on a mission.
Xiaojiu, on the other hand, is currently an exchange student in high school. Her starting point prevents her from integrating into Wuyi's circle of friends, which is a frustration.
Wuyi had been moved before, and he had tried hard, but he was defeated by reality, which made him understand more clearly what type of person his future partner should be.
This is not utilitarianism, but shows that he is truly mature, so he chose to let time answer.
But there happened to be a Geng Baobao. This girl had a side that made him feel distressed, but also had a talent for concealing her identity around him.
At this moment, when Wu Yi subconsciously compared the two girls, he felt that he was crazy!
At that time, Geng Baobao was not within his choice range.
There are many other factors that may have crushed the relationship between him and Xiaojiu.
First, the heart-to-heart talk between Zhou Jiao and him when they met abroad must have brought him pressure, even a hint of rebellion. He could not resist his beloved mother, but he also had resistance to Xiaojiu.
Second, the conversation between Liuyi and him on the phone was the second knife. He once asked Yi Tangtang what he would do if he couldn't fit in with Liuyi's circle.
Third, Xiaojiu cut her losses in time. Wuyi couldn't let her go, and finally left after seeing her decisively acquire foreign citizenship. For him, this undoubtedly confirmed his initial doubts about Xiaojiu.
That's why he made a promise to Geng Baobao that he would wait until he was 30 years old.
His life was influenced by his grandmother Miao Lishan's 17 years of dedication to her husband and the long time it took his father and two brothers to choose their wives. It can be said that these directly influenced the way he dealt with his feelings.
………………………………
Haha... I was a little excited, and what I said was a bit disorganized and a lot of nonsense. Don't mind me. Maybe I'll look through it again tomorrow and delete it if I want to.
Finally, the last:
I wish all lovers in the world can meet their right partner at the right time. I wish you all a happy new year and many happy events.
Wish me all the best with my new book.
Bow, thank you for your company.
Your friends: Go ahead
