At the end of the millennium, Yu Xiang gave birth to a son, whom she named Li Jing.
Li Huai was overjoyed to have a grandson.
Now he has grandchildren, and he feels very confident when he goes out and talks to his old comrades.
When Li Jing turned one month old, the whole family gathered in Haishi to celebrate. Jin'er and Xingxing were fascinated by their even younger brother.
Jin'er didn't even remember seeing Xingxing when she was little. She just felt that now that she had two younger brothers, she had to act like an older sister.
Xingxing even declared with a haughty air, "When my little brother grows up, I'll take him to play together, and I'll protect him."
The adults were overjoyed.
Yu Xiang had no family members on her mother's side, and her mother didn't help her during her postpartum period, so she had to hire a postpartum nanny.
Zhao Qinglan was impartial. She didn't care about Ji Rou's postpartum period, and this time, when Yu Xiang was in postpartum period, she only helped to ask someone to deliver things.
She believes that sincerity towards one's daughter-in-law doesn't necessarily have to be shown in such matters, or that she has to come over to help serve her.
It all depends on the outcome. As long as the daughter-in-law has a good postpartum period, is in a good mood, and has good energy, that's all that matters.
Yu Xiang's two dining companions and her classmates from Shanghai came to visit her and her one-month-old baby.
Seeing that she had given birth but did not look haggard or weak like a new mother, and instead looked radiant, I knew she was doing well.
Sanwa was abroad at a crucial time for an experiment, and he didn't come back to visit his nephew, only sending a gift as a congratulatory present.
Before Yu Xiang went on maternity leave, she had already accumulated a lot of achievements.
When she returned to the company after her maternity leave, she was immediately promoted to a new position.
Some people were envious of her promotion, but they couldn't really say anything about it.
Even if the company belongs to the husband's family, they can't control them even if the husband is parachuted in as the CEO.
Now, they are just like ordinary employees, working diligently every day. They have never used their status to bully colleagues or steal credit. Even if they are promoted, they have achievements to show for themselves, and no one can say anything bad about them.
After having a child, Erwa matured a lot and gained the awareness of being a father.
It was at this point that Erwa recalled a willful phase in his childhood and felt quite guilty towards his father.
Their family is so well-off now, with several people helping to take care of the children, that he still sometimes feels overwhelmed.
When he was a child, before his mother came home, his father had to work and take care of him and his brother by himself. Only he could understand how hard it was.
Erwa is a very sentimental person. Thinking about his father's hardships, he called.
Li Huai was quite surprised to receive a call from his son.
The children do call home occasionally, but they always call home and the wife answers most of the time.
It's quite rare to call him directly like this.
He thought his son had encountered some difficulties and needed his help as a father, but unexpectedly, Erwa talked to him on the phone about their father-son relationship and thanked him for his hard work over the years.
After the call ended, Li Huai was still in a daze.
When he got home, he told his wife about his son's unusual behavior, and Zhao Qinglan just smiled.
"Your son is a father now, and he understands how difficult it is for you to be one."
"This sudden turn of events is rather unusual," Li Huai said somewhat awkwardly.
"Don't try to act innocent after getting the benefit."
Li Huai felt embarrassed when his wife exposed his thoughts.
Not long after Erwa's call, Dawa brought good news.
Da Wa had previously distinguished himself in flood relief efforts and was promoted shortly afterward.
Now, he has been transferred to the Beijing Military Region.
Although Ji Rou also served in the military, she took care of her family and did clerical work that was not very strenuous.
Now that her husband has been transferred, her job as his spouse has also changed, and they have moved to Beijing together.
When he was transferred to Beijing, accommodation was naturally arranged for him in the family quarters.
The family of three has lived in their current home since Jin'er was born, and they have grown attached to it. It's quite hard for them to leave.
The houses allocated to the families were naturally much smaller than their current homes. They packed some clothes and personal belongings, and left things like furniture in their current homes to avoid the hassle of moving them.
Knowing that her eldest son's family was moving to Beijing, Zhao Qinglan began to select from her many properties in the city, looking for the closest one to her son's current workplace that could serve as his residence.
When the eldest child learned of his mother's intention, he refused for the time being, saying that it would be better for him to live in the family quarters since he had just been transferred there.
Whether we stay there or not is another matter.
He wasn't the only one at home; he also had a wife and daughter. He wanted to provide his daughter with the best living conditions, so he was very flexible.
Zhao Qinglan then arranged for someone to tidy up the house she had chosen, so that her granddaughter could move in whenever she wanted.
When the move happened suddenly, Jin'er only missed her old home for a moment before quickly becoming happy again.
Because once she was in the capital, she could see her little brother Xingxing more often, as well as her aunt and great-grandmother.
Indeed, when they learned that the family was moving here, their relatives in Beijing were very happy, especially Xiaoduo.
With Jin'er's arrival, Xingxing (her child) now has a reliable long-term playmate, and she can also see her older brother and sister-in-law more often. How could she not be happy?
Because her son was moving, Zhao Qinglan even made a trip to Beijing to join in the festivities.
Da Wa originally wanted to move quietly, but his mother and sister sent him valuable items such as appliances, which attracted the attention of many of his new neighbors.
Zhao Qinglan and Xiao Duo visited their son's new home.
The eldest child was assigned a two-bedroom apartment that wasn't very big. To others, it was already a good place, but Zhao Qinglan and Xiao Duo felt it was too small.
Especially seeing Jin'er's small bedroom, Xiao Duo said directly, "Jin'er, go stay at your aunt's house more often in the future. Xingxing misses you so much."
Da Wa and Ji Rou looked at each other helplessly.
If their daughter wants to go, her parents naturally won't stop her.
Zhao Qinglan is not a high-profile person. It was only because of the scandal involving Lanxin that she came into the public eye, and she has rarely appeared in public since then.
When she came to Da Wa's place, the neighbors around her only thought she was elegant and graceful, but they never expected her true identity.
However, after Zhao Qinglan and the others left, some curious military family members inquired about the matter.
Ji Rou kept her mouth shut and didn't mention her mother-in-law's specific identity.
After making inquiries, everyone learned that Da Wa's ancestral home was in Beijing. Although he had been transferred from a military region outside Beijing, he still had many relatives there, so no one dared to underestimate him.
This was something Ji Rou deliberately revealed.
She and her husband didn't want to reveal their parents' identities right away, but they could reveal a little bit about their background to avoid a lot of trouble later.
In fact, the leaders and higher-ups here are aware of the couple's background, but they won't spread it around recklessly. At most, they will remind their own family members not to mess with this family.
Originally from Beijing, with many relatives there who appeared wealthy, and even the families of high-ranking officials subtly taking care of them, the savvy people in the residential area quickly labeled Da Wa's family as not to be underestimated.
