But now, only these few things are left and people still remember them, otherwise the two old people would not have been forced to hide in the countryside for several years.
If it weren’t for the news that Shen Xiangzhi was married and had children, they would still not show up.
An Hongdou looked at everything in front of her and thought that compared to the quaintness over there, the colors here were indeed more gorgeous.
"Wouldn't it be a bad idea for us to just abandon the two elderly people and live alone?" If it were in the past, An Hongdou might not have worried about this issue.
After all, who doesn’t want their own private space?
But now, after feeling the kindness and love of the two elderly people, she suddenly felt that her thoughts were quite unfair to them.
"If you really feel bad, why don't we fulfill one of grandma and grandpa's wishes?" When Shen Xiangzhi said this, he stared at An Hongdou with a hint of desire.
She guessed that it must not be a trivial matter.
"Go ahead." For the sake of the old man, she could agree to it without any ambiguity.
"The biggest regret of my grandparents in this life is that there is no one in the Su family to carry on the family line..." At this point, Shen Xiangzhi sighed deeply, "You know my mother is like that. Asking her to have another child is like asking for her life. I am the only son of the Shen family. My mother later gave birth to a daughter, who is also the only daughter of the Zhang family..."
"So you want to give a child to grandparents?" An Hongdou immediately thought of the crux of the problem.
Although Shen Xiangzhi didn't say anything, his meaning was very clear.
"I can't agree to this." It's not that she doesn't want to, but the child doesn't have her surname anyway. No matter whose surname it has, it's still hers and the child has to call her mom.
However, she had her own reasons for not agreeing.
"Why not? Although the Su family is not as prosperous as before, it still has some assets. The child's surname is Su, which is just a change of surname to satisfy the wishes of grandparents. Aren't they still our children? Aren't they the same to us?"
Moreover, given the relationship between grandpa and grandfather, even grandfather would not say no to this matter.
After all, they had an agreement at the beginning that when the Su and Chen families got married, no matter whether the child was a boy or a girl, the first one would have the surname Chen, and the second one would definitely have the surname Su.
It’s a pity that his parents were not supportive. They separated not long after he was born and later divorced, not to mention having children.
"It's not a question of family wealth or simply satisfying someone's wish. This is a matter for the children's entire lives. Can you please not think of it so simply?" An Hongdou said, "The children are all ours and were born on the same day. If one of them has the last name Su, then no matter if it's the grandparents or the grandfather, the three elderly people will definitely have different attitudes towards the three children, which will be very detrimental to their growth."
This is the problem that An Hongdou is most entangled with. Otherwise, the child is still their child. It is not like he was adopted by someone else just by changing his surname. Shen Xiangzhi has no objection, so what else can she be entangled with?
“You think too much. Whether it’s grandma, grandpa or grandpa, they won’t treat you differently.” Shen Xiangzhi answered very firmly.
"What you said is good, but no one knows what will happen in the future. Maybe I will change my mind in the future, but I definitely don't want to take the risk now." An Hongdou continued.
Seeing that the two were about to quarrel, Shen Xiangzhi quickly raised his hands in surrender, “Okay, let’s all calm down and not talk about this for now, okay?”
If they continue talking and a fight breaks out, there's no one here, not even anyone to break up the fight, and he'll have nowhere to seek help if he gets beaten.
"Who brought it up first? Wasn't it you who brought it up?" An Hongdou rolled her eyes and threw the key back into his hands.
The good mood I had when visiting the house was completely ruined.
"Yes, the children are still at home, let's go back first."
As for the house, since I didn’t refuse it yesterday, I feel embarrassed to say no now.
However, she will compensate Grandma Su and Mr. Su in other ways and will not let their worries be in vain.
However, if they were angry because she did not agree to change the surname and wanted to take back their decision to give them the house, she would not blame them.
When she walked out of the yard, a hint of cold wind blew in the air, which calmed her anxious mood.
As soon as Shen Xiangzhi stepped onto the bicycle, he heard a clear voice calling not far from them, "Brother...Brother, don't leave yet..."
As soon as Shen Xiangzhi heard the voice, he knew who was calling him.
With one foot on the ground, he turned around to look at Shen Yuewan's somewhat panicked figure running towards him.
Shen Yuewan didn't expect that she would meet her long-lost elder brother when she hurried out.
But it's true. I heard from dad that my eldest brother just came back recently, so it's not surprising to see him.
"Brother, when did you come back? Why didn't you go home?" Shen Yuewan said in surprise, and looked at An Hongdou beside the bicycle in confusion, "This is..."
"Your sister-in-law." Shen Xiangzhi just replied very coldly.
"Hello, sister-in-law. I'm Shen Yuewan. I'm the second child in the family. You can call me Yuewan." Shen Xiangzhi's eyebrows were curved when he smiled. Although his tone of voice was cheerful, his expression was very gentle, giving people a comfortable feeling.
An Hongdou nodded at her, "Hello, Yuewan."
If she guessed correctly, this should be the daughter born to Shen Xiangzhi's stepmother.
Shen Yuewan continued to question Shen Xiangzhi, "Brother, you haven't told me why you didn't go home. Dad is so happy to know that you are coming back. You know, he is like that. He has a bad temper and won't say caring words. But Dad really cares about you."
“We just arrived in Jiangcheng and haven’t made time yet.” Chen Xiang knew.
Shen Yuewan was not angry at Shen Xiangzhi's indifference, but continued to ask with great interest, "Brother, I heard from Dad that you and your sister-in-law gave birth to triplets. I have three nephews now. Is that true?"
"Where are they? Why didn't you bring them back?"
"Can I see them?"
Shen Yuewan asked questions one after another, and it was obvious that she must have a great interest in the triplets. Moreover, from her words, one could also hear her admiration for Shen Xiangzhi.
However, Shen Xiangzhi's cold attitude made An Hongdou couldn't help but guess, could it be that Shen Yuewan's kindness was all fake, so he was so rude?
"They are staying at my grandpa's house. When I have time to go back, you will see them naturally." Chen Xiang knew: "Okay, if you have something to do, leave quickly. We have to go back too."
After that, Shen Xiangzhi asked An Hongdou to leave.
Behind them, Shen Yuewan's smile gradually dimmed.
