Chen Hong couldn't understand whether this naughty boy was playing with his family. No matter what the adults thought, he would still try again and again, enjoying the game immensely!
For more than two years, from when Xiao An'an was nine months old until she was three, this scene became a regular occurrence in their family.
Even their neighbors know that the Zhou family has a child who longs for freedom the most, and closing the door behind them is always the first priority when the child comes to their house!
But he was also very funny. Even when he occasionally climbed over the threshold, he wouldn't go far. He would turn over and sit on the steps, calling out "Mommy, Mommy" to the adults.
His grandmother said, "This child is cunning; I'm afraid he might climb out and not be able to get home!"
As An'an grows older, he becomes more and more mischievous, and teasing him is the family's favorite thing to do.
At forty, Zhou Yi presents a different side at home than he does outside. When he's with his two sons, he becomes more and more like a child.
The father and his three sons had an incredibly close relationship. Whenever Zhou Yi was home, the three of them would always have a lot of fun together.
Yu Yang's personality has become more and more cheerful and confident, while An An has become more and more quirky and mischievous, with all sorts of strange ideas in her little head every day, and she is very naughty.
In 2012, my younger sister Xiaoyun met a man; the two met at work.
This man's surname is Huo, and his given name is Huo Jinhui. He works in software engineering research and development and is a typical science and engineering guy.
My family is from Beijing, and there are only two family members, my parents and I. I'm 35 years old and I've never been in a relationship.
In his parents' words, he just never really got it! He's like a robot who, once he's inside his studio, forgets to even eat.
Their company organized a group trip for its R&D staff, and Xiaoyun happened to be the one who hosted them.
I don't know if it was fate or what, but after returning from his trip, Huo Jinhui suddenly blossomed and started pursuing girls and dating!
After a year of getting to know each other and adjusting to each other, Xiaoyun finally got married in October 2013.
Although Huo Jinhui may not have high emotional intelligence, he is very intelligent. He owns shares in the company and his annual income is not low.
He doesn't live with his parents; they own houses on both sides. Huo Jinhui bought two houses in the High-tech Zone with his own earnings, while his parents also own a house in an older neighborhood.
Strangely, he didn't buy a car, only an electric bicycle. In his words, he already overused his brain at work and didn't want to think too much while driving.
Chen Hong was initially not optimistic about Huo Jinhui. She thought he had low emotional intelligence and couldn't even take care of himself. How could she expect him to take care of his wife and children?
But Xiaoyun was determined to be with him. "Huo Jinhui has low emotional intelligence, but that's not a problem for me. He's a stubborn person. Whether it's his career or his lover, once he's made up his mind, he will never change it!"
This is what Xiaoyun said to her sister. Chen Hong understood. Du Shi's betrayal broke Xiaoyun's heart. She was like someone who had been bitten by a snake once and was afraid of a rope for ten years!
Huo Jinhui was slow-witted and had a dull personality, which Xiaoyun considered his greatest strength.
Fortunately, Huo Jinhui is devoted to his relationships and has now come to his senses. Although he doesn't understand romance in life, he is a man of few words but very capable. Since they started dating, he has been the one to fix the water and electricity problems in Xiaoyun's and Chen Hong's homes. He's a very helpful young man!
He was very good to Xiaoyun and Nini, and he was also good-looking. His family didn't have many messy relatives, so he was a good match for Xiaoyun and Nini now.
After Huo Jinhui's parents came to propose marriage twice, Chen Hong agreed to Xiaoyun's marriage to Huo Jinhui.
As the saying goes, "When buying a pig, look at its pen; when choosing a wife, look at her mother!" When choosing a husband, one should observe his parents' character and conduct. In this case, the fact that Xiaoyun and Huo Jinhui got together was largely due to Huo Jinhui's parents' positive influence.
Both elderly people are retired workers who have worked their entire lives. When they were in the factory, they were just ordinary technicians who did nothing but study technology.
They were all very kind, ordinary people who supported each other throughout their lives and were a loving couple! Chen Hong admired their open-mindedness and never interfered with their choice of children.
When Xiaoyun got married, her parents came all the way from Jinan. After attending Xiaoyun's wedding, the elderly couple stayed for a month before returning to Jinan.
This was the longest they had ever stayed at home. Their children were all grown up and no longer needed the elderly couple to serve them food and drink every day.
Now all they do is pick up and drop off Erni, cook for the family, and that's it.
With more free time, my dad picked up his old craft again. Every day after meals, he would go to the timber market to find good wood to carve toys, ornaments, and bonsai bases for the children.
Now, the bonsai and stone bases in the homes of Chen Hong and her siblings are mostly carved by their father.
The old man was just bored and wanted to use his remaining energy to carve some wooden items for the children to play with.
Unexpectedly, the flowers I planted with care did not bloom, but the willows I planted without intention thrived, and even opened up a path to wealth.
The old man is skilled, and the patterns he carves are a combination of old and new styles. Not only do veteran collectors like them, but they are also very popular among young people. Those who have seen his works come to place orders.
For a time, the old man couldn't keep up with all the orders!
Now, the elderly couple can work while having fun, earning two or three hundred thousand yuan a year with ease, more than they can spend.
Not only did they stop asking Chen Hong and her siblings to give them money for their old age, but they also gave the children a big red envelope every Chinese New Year!
Chen Hong's father bought an off-road vehicle with his own money, and the elderly couple often went on trips whenever the children had holidays.
Chen Hong's mother said with emotion, "I've lived for more than 60 years and never thought I could live such a life where I can eat whatever I want, buy whatever I want, and go wherever I want. This life has truly been worth living."
