The twins were abandoned in Liuhuai Lane, and Song Jingzhou felt his fatherly love return.
I habitually got up in the middle of the night to check on my child, only to realize that he was in Liuhuai Lane. Suddenly, I felt a sense of emptiness in my heart.
"What's wrong?" Su Qingci asked groggily, feeling Song Jingzhou sit up.
Song Jingzhou leaned down and kissed her cheek, then pulled her into his arms. "It's alright, Qingci. What should I do? I've realized I love you more and more. I really like you."
Su Qingci turned over and mumbled, "Okay, okay, I know, I love you too, go to sleep."
Looking at his wife's serene and youthful face, Song Jingzhou couldn't help but recall half of his own life.
He was very fortunate that he had retired from the military and returned to Gaotang Brigade, where he met a girl named Su Qingci.
He knew his wife had a secret, but he never asked or showed any curiosity about it.
Qingci didn't want anyone to know, so he pretended not to know and helped her cover it up.
The year he and Qingci had Song Suyu, Xu Tieniu pushed a man in a wheelchair back to see him.
He declined the offer to live overseas and at the same time roughly figured out the grudges of the previous generation.
The Wang family has been trying to get in touch with him for the past few years, but he is not interested in power and has no great ambition.
His heart was small, unable to contain the world or the common people. He was selfish, only wanting to live a peaceful life with the people he loved.
Moreover, now that he has three children, the amount of energy he can spare from his family is even more limited.
Scratching his head, Song Jingzhou thought that if the Wang family came looking for him again, he would push his brother-in-law out.
...
"Milk~", Su Qingci called out before she even entered the door.
"Auntie, it's Auntie!" Su Chengfei, along with his younger brother Guo Chengnan and Song Suyu, came running up to greet her excitedly.
"Ouch, slow down, slow down, my little darling~"
Guo Xiaomao put the steamed egg custard on the table and loudly called out to the few kids.
Liao Fengmei, who was holding Song Wuyou, came out after hearing the noise outside.
"The Qing porcelain is here?"
"Auntie!"
Su Qingci distributed a bag of cheese sticks she was carrying to several children and then went up to look at the chubby baby in Liao Fengmei's hands.
"Don't worry, don't worry, I'm your mom~", Su Qingci teased the baby for a bit and then asked Liao Fengmei.
"What about Wu Lu?"
Liao Fengmei pointed into the house, "He's sleeping inside with his aunt."
"Was Wenjing's pregnancy okay this time?"
Guo Xiaomao cheerfully chimed in, "This baby is very well-behaved, eating and sleeping well, she'll definitely be a sweet little girl."
"That's great! My brother's been drooling over his daughter!"
Su Changzhi and his son Si Gui are now helping Su Qingci and her daughter, serving as manager and deputy manager respectively at Qihang Group.
With so many children at home, it was difficult to leave them behind. After discussing it with Xu Weihua, Su Qingci asked Guo Wenjing and Liao Fengmei for their opinions.
The lumber mill and textile mill are also becoming increasingly unprofitable, and both of them have resigned and are now staying home to help take care of their child for a fee.
Xu Weihua took care of Su Qingci's child for three months, and together with Song Jingzhou, she developed postpartum depression. After that, she never wanted to take care of children again, and was only good at playing with them occasionally.
Liao Fengmei and Guo Wenjing, on the other hand, really love children and are very patient.
The mother and daughter discussed it and decided that it was better to hire their own people than outsiders. Besides, the seventy or eighty yuan salary from outsiders was really negligible given the family's current financial situation.
As an elder, Xu Weihua has a long line of grandchildren. To avoid suffering from postpartum depression again, she simply waved her hand and gave each of them who stayed at home 500 yuan a month as pocket money, regardless of whether they were Guo Xiaomao or Li Yueniang.
"Oh, right, Qingci, there's a letter for you," Liao Fengmei said, pointing to the television screen.
Su Qingci took the letter and read it. As expected, it was sent by Xiao Yuehua again.
After Su Qingci returned to Kyoto, she kept in touch with her and learned through her that Liu Siqing had gotten married to Guo Jie, the accountant from Peach Blossom Town.
Xiao Juhua chased after Meng Changhua for a year, scaring Meng Changhua so much that he dared not step out of the educated youth settlement. Later, with the mentality of "better to die than to die myself," he betrayed his own younger brother.
Thus, Xiao Juxiang successfully married Meng Changxiu.
Chen Haiying gave birth to a daughter, but never returned to the Luo family.
Luo Zhishan remained single until the college entrance examination was opened up. Chen Haiying was admitted to university, and the divorce was successful. She left her daughter with the Luo family and went to university herself.
Xiao Yuehua had returned to the city with Feng Jianjun four years ago. Feng Jianjun had an older brother and a younger brother. One can imagine that Xiao Yuehua's status at home was so high that she was pushed to go to the countryside.
In recent years, Xiao Yuehua has been making great strides in the Feng family, arguing with everyone and everything, and displaying all her abilities to the fullest. Even so, she has managed to hold her own against Feng Jianjun's mother, which shows how difficult this mother-in-law is.
Su Qingci opened the envelope and read, "Greetings, Qingci. I have good news for you. I successfully married off my mother-in-law and even received a dowry."
"That old shrew is always here and there, and she'll roll on the ground if anything is wrong. She encourages her son to beat his wife, and she dotes on her crippled son like a precious gem. I thought I was the only one who couldn't stand her, but I didn't expect my sister-in-law to have put up with her for most of her life."
"This time, in her attempt to find a wife for her youngest son, she didn't get anything from me. So, that old shrew set her sights on my sister-in-law's eldest daughter. How could I let such a good opportunity slip by? She wanted to find a wife for her youngest son, so my sister-in-law and I discussed it and decided to marry her off directly. The man is a paralyzed old man whose children are filial and want someone to take care of him. Perfect! Her precious youngest son, upon hearing there was a dowry, and that he wouldn't have to take care of him in his old age, and that the house would be available for his wedding, agreed without hesitation..."
As Su Qingci read the letter, she could imagine Xiao Yuehua's gloating expression. She had to admit that Xiao Yuehua was quite a character; she actually went to the city and managed to keep Feng Jianjun completely under her thumb.
