In the following days, Song Mingzhou indeed became Wang Ya's bodyguard, just as he had said.
Every day after returning from kindergarten and having dinner, he would run to his third uncle's house, touch Wang Ya's belly, and serve her tea and water. When Wang Ya went out for a walk, he would also bring three dogs with him.
Song Jianmin and Chen Zhou were very pleased to see that Song Mingzhou was no longer causing trouble or being mischievous.
Song Yingying and Song Rongrong returned to Heping Lane one day apart and learned about Wang Ya's pregnancy. They both came to visit her at home, and Grandma Song happily prepared nutritious meals for Wang Ya every day.
After Wang Ya was transferred to another position, she was responsible for clerical work. Her days were not too busy, and she was in a good mood. She controlled her food intake every day and gained more than 10 kilograms before the Chinese New Year.
Wang Ya is tall and was thin before. Although she has gained weight now, it is not obvious. Her face is just a little rounder.
Grandma Song and Song Anmin then controlled the amount of cooking they did, worried that they might overfeed the baby.
In recent years, the Song family has had a happy event almost every year or two, and Phoenix Pavilion has even opened four branches, which makes people envious and sigh.
On the 29th day of the Lunar New Year, Director Jiang from the community came to see Xu Songyuan. She said that someone had asked her to ask Xu Songyuan if he still wanted to get married. The woman's family was well-off. Her husband had died a few years ago. He used to be a factory director and left behind a lot of money. She and Xu Songyuan were considered a good match.
Xu Songyuan declined, saying that he had no plans to remarry since his wife passed away.
Director Jiang chuckled and didn't say anything, but secretly thought to himself, "It's rare to find a good man like Xu Songyuan."
Xu Guiying should not have known about this, but Song Zhiyin let it slip. Her granddaughter went to see Wang Ya, and on her way back, she saw Director Jiang coming out of Xu Songyuan's house.
The next day, Xu Guiying casually mentioned it. Xu Songyuan didn't hide anything and gave a brief account.
Xu Guiying didn't say anything.
Everyone has their own way of living. If Xu Songyuan really had a plan, he would have remarried a few years ago.
On the 29th day of the Lunar New Year, Song Guomin returned to Heping Lane as he had done in the previous two years. He ate happily at the Song family home and then went to his third brother's house.
Now, even without the third or fifth brother calling him, Song Guomin will shamelessly go over.
Later that evening, Song Yingying and Song Rongrong also returned. Ying Zhengqing was filming out of town this year and didn't return to the capital, so Song Rongrong spent the New Year alone.
The children in the family are quite noisy. Yan Yan and Le Le now come back to Heping Lane for a meal every two or three weeks. The siblings and the twins get along well. They occasionally argue and cry, but overall they get along quite well.
Before long, the sound of Song Mingzhou crying and wailing could be heard from the alley.
Everyone in the main room of the Song family laughed.
Soon, there was movement through the small kitchen door.
Song Mingzhou slipped in like an eel and said to Song Jianmin outside:
"Dad, it's New Year's Eve, you can't hit me!!!"
Song Jianmin's face turned ashen with anger: "You bastard! You better not come back tonight!"
When Song Yangmin entered the kitchen and saw the father and son arguing, he couldn't help but frown. "What's wrong now?"
Song Jianmin was furious. "Second brother, you have to help me deal with him later! That kid sold the family's iron pot!!!"
Song Yangmin almost couldn't hold back and clicked his tongue, "Song Mingzhou, what's wrong with you! Why are you selling pots!"
Song Mingzhou looked aggrieved. "Second Uncle, my classmate's family member got sick. I donated all my money, but it wasn't enough, so I sold the pot."
After speaking, Song Yangmin raised an eyebrow and glanced at Lao Wu.
Song Jianmin hadn't expected this reason either. He frowned and asked, "Didn't your class donate?"
Song Mingzhou: "I've donated, I've donated. I was just worried it wouldn't be enough."
Song Yangmin: "Alright, that won't be allowed next time. If there's not enough money, are you going to make up for it all? That's something adults have to worry about. If there's not enough money, your teacher will call for donations again. Alright, let's go eat with your second uncle."
Song Jianmin's anger subsided considerably, and he waved his hand, saying, "I'm leaving. He can eat here tonight."
Song Yangmin led Song Mingzhou to the main room, where everyone learned the whole story.
Song Mingzhou may be mischievous, but he has never done anything bad since he was a child, nor does he have any ill intentions.
Song Mingzhou went to the children's table to eat. He was the youngest at the table. After finishing his meal, he asked his older brothers and sisters to play hide-and-seek with him.
After playing around for a while, Song Mingzhou ran to his third uncle's house and asked Song Jianmin to pay for firecrackers.
Song Jianmin said sternly, "You can only buy sparklers."
Song Mingzhou pouted, "Daddy~~~~"
Song Jianmin gave the money to Yan Yan, saying, "Yan Yan, you keep an eye on things for your fifth uncle and don't let him play anything else."
Yan Yan grew taller; the little girl was pretty and clever. "Okay!"
