Jiang Li raised an eyebrow, "Oh? When did Mumu start liking that kind of dance?"
Mu Mu pouted, "Can't I like it? The little skirts they wear are very pretty, I like them."
"Mom, just let me go and learn!"
Jiang Li smiled dotingly: "Okay, but learning dance is very tiring. Since you have chosen it, you can't give up halfway, understand?"
Twilight nodded obediently, "I know. I won't give up halfway."
She finally found something she liked, so it was naturally not a spur of the moment thing.
"Mom, have you bought me what I want? The lab building behind me is almost finished."
Suddenly hearing An An's voice, Jiang Li looked up and said, "The things you want are on the way and will arrive in a few days. They are all bought for you by your cousin."
"You have to be filial to your cousin in the future, okay?"
When An An heard that it was bought by her cousin, she smiled and said, "Don't worry, mother. We brothers and sisters will be filial to our cousin in the future."
"Naughty." Jiang Li said coquettishly.
After Jiang Xuemei and her husband finished their dinner here, they got up and went back home.
Jiang Li gave them some of the gifts she brought back and asked them to take them back.
When Huo Beiyu learned that his wife had returned, he canceled his evening social engagements.
In his eyes, no one is more important than his wife.
Jiang Li lay on the bed, looking at her husband who had just returned, and asked with a smile, "Why are you here so early today?"
Huo Beiyu walked up to his wife, hugged her in his arms, and said in a hoarse voice: "My wife is back, so I have to come back early."
"Did you miss me?"
Jiang Li hugged her man back and said, "I thought about it."
"Are you having fun in the beautiful country? Is your cousin in good health?"
Jiang Li replied: "It's good, it's just that my cousin has set his sights on our eldest son and wants Pingping to be his successor in the future."
"My cousin has no plans to get married and have children in his lifetime, and he doesn't want to raise children by himself. Jiang Heng's family only has two sons, and so many properties are enough for the two of them to be busy with, so he doesn't want to give his own properties to that side."
"I just don't know if Pingping would be willing."
Huo Beiyu smiled and said, "When the time comes, things will work out. Why think so much?"
"There's a social cocktail party at the company the day after tomorrow. Do you want to go?"
Jiang Li: "... cocktail party?"
"Well, there are too many single men and women in the company, and none of them have started a family but are just working together. As the head of the family, I naturally cannot just care about my own life and death and ignore the happiness of my employees, so I will take advantage of my free time recently to organize a social cocktail party for them."
"Any company that has cooperation with our family is open to single men and women."
"It can be regarded as a relaxation for everyone."
Jiang Li hummed, "Then I'll go and have a look the day after tomorrow. I've never seen such an interesting social gathering before."
Huo Beiyu smiled and said, "When I was in the army, there were often such social gatherings, but I never went once."
"I know, if you soldiers don't give you social activities, where are you going to find wives?"
"Those with elderly people at home who care for them are fine, and they can still look after them at home for their children. Those without anyone to take care of them can only find wives on their own."
"Okay, let's stop talking about this. It's time to rest."
Huo Beiyu kissed his wife's forehead and said, "Okay, I'll go take a shower, you go to bed first."
Jiang Li: "Okay."
A short separation is better than a new marriage. The couple stayed together until dawn and then fell into a deep sleep.
The next morning, when Jiang Li woke up, Huo Beiyu had already gone to the company.
The children also went to school.
Apart from the servants, she and her grandmother were the only ones left at home.
The old lady was trimming flowers in the backyard. When she saw her granddaughter-in-law wake up, she smiled and said, "Why don't you sleep a little longer?"
Jiang Li touched his nose awkwardly, "If you sleep any longer, it will be dinner time. Is grandma okay? Let me feel your pulse."
The old lady smiled and said, "No, I'm in good health. Don't you see that I look very rosy?"
"Well, grandma does look good, do you want to go out for a walk?"
The weather in midsummer was very hot and humid. If there hadn't been air conditioning at home, she would have run out to escape the heat long ago.
"No, I'm used to staying at home. I'm old and I don't want to go out."
Jiang Li smiled and said, "Okay, I'll go out for a walk."
"Go ahead."
Jiang Li changed into a cheongsam, picked up her handbag and drove out.
A few days after returning, Jiang Li suddenly received a call from his hometown saying that Jiang Qingguo was critically ill.
"What? Uncle was unwell and was fine all this time? Why is he suddenly critically ill?"
Jiang Jingchen's eyes were red. "The doctor said my father had advanced lung cancer, but it was too late when it was discovered."
When Jiang Li heard this, he said, "Wait for me, I'll drive back home now."
"Okay, little sister, be careful on the road."
After Jiang Li hung up the phone, she called her man.
When Huo Beiyu learned that his uncle was dying, he frowned and said, "Then I'll go back with you."
Jiang Li shook his head. "No, I'll take the triplets back home, and you can just take care of Chao Chao and Mu Mu at home."
"I don't know when I can come back this time, and the company cannot be without someone in charge."
"Just stay at home and relax."
Huo Beiyu thought for a moment and said, "That's fine. Summer vacation is coming soon anyway, so you can take the triplets back with you."
"I'll talk to the teacher at school."
"Okay, I'll pack my things now and go back tomorrow morning."
Huo Beiyu nodded, hung up the phone, got up, took the car keys and went to the middle school.
Pingping and the other two learned that their uncle was critically ill and that their mother wanted to take them back to their hometown, but they didn't say a word.
Although they had not met this uncle many times, they knew that their mother respected this elder very much.
"You three are all grown-up kids now. This time you should accompany your mother back home. Don't act naughty or cause trouble. Remember?"
As the eldest brother, Pingping replied steadily, "I know. I will take good care of my younger brother and sister."
"Well, be obedient when you go back and don't let your mother worry."
"Brothers and sisters at home, you should also get along well with each other."
Pingping nodded, "I know, just rest assured, father."
"Well, I'll take you to the mall. You haven't been back in years. You can buy some gifts for your brothers at home."
"By the way, pick out two sets of dark sportswear for you. When you return to the countryside, you need to be low-key."
Ping Ping: "Okay, we'll listen to father."
The three children were actually very happy when they knew they were going back to the countryside, as they had hardly ever been out of Kyoto.
Especially An An, she was so happy when she thought about going back to her hometown to pick mountain herbs.
I just don’t know what my uncle’s condition is like, and I don’t know if my mother can survive.
Chao Chao and Mu Mu were a little unhappy when they learned that their mother was taking the triplets back to her hometown, and they both wanted to go.
It was Jiang Li who spoke up again: "When you two are able to skip a grade, I will take you back."
