"Godmother, I really value my health very much, I know what I'm doing," Zhang Hongmei said hastily and obsequiously.
"It's good that you know it yourself. You're still young, you need to take care of yourself."
Daniel looked straight at Huang Meihua and said, "Grandma, don't talk about my mother."
Huang Meihua felt a pang of sadness after hearing her grandson's words. She had taken care of him since he was a child, but she never expected that this child would still be closer to outsiders.
Zhang Hongmei quickly pulled the two of them to sit next to Huang Meihua.
"Godmother, you must be tired from your journey. Would you like to go wash up with Godfather?"
Huang Meihua checked the time; it was already past nine o'clock at night.
"Okay, it's getting late, Annie, Daniel, let's go get some rest."
"Grandma, we want to sleep with Mommy."
"Me too!"
"Godfather and Godmother, let them come with me. Would you like to see your grandson first?"
Beth stood up. "Hongmei, your godmother and I will go wash up and change our clothes first, and then we'll come back in a little while."
"Godfather, there's no need to be so formal. Let's go see the child first."
Huang Meihua also stood up, "Let's go change our clothes first. We have to take seeing our grandson seriously, of course."
Annie and Daniel refused to leave with Huang Meihua. Left with no other option, they went out with Aunt Li.
“Annie, Daniel, this is your great-grandfather, and this is your grandfather.”
Annie pulled Daniel up in front of the two elderly people. "Great-Grandpa, hello! Mom has always talked about you, and I'm so happy to see you now."
Daniel simply called out "Great-Grandpa," then turned to look at Zhang Hongmei, as if afraid she would leave.
The two children then moved to the front of Zhang Xingguo and said, "Hello, Grandpa! It's a pleasure to meet you."
The two elderly people had prepared gifts beforehand and handed them to the two of them respectively.
She also really liked the two children and thought Hongmei had a good eye for them.
Daniel broke free of Annie's hand and pressed himself against Zhang Hongmei. He gripped her pants tightly, refusing to let go.
"Grandpa, Dad, you two should go and rest. It's getting late."
After seeing the two off, Zhang Hongmei pulled Annie and the other girl, saying, "Shall we go see your younger brother? Your ancestor is still there."
As long as they are with Zhang Hongmei, neither of the two children has any objections to going anywhere.
Zhang Shouyi followed behind the mother and her three children, watching their intimate interactions from behind. He knew that if Hongmei hadn't been so attached to her two children, she wouldn't have so readily consummated their marriage and so desperately wanted children.
Zhang Hongmei led the two of them into the room. The old lady and Hu Aifen sat next to the crib, watching the baby intently even though the baby was asleep.
Hearing the noise, they turned around and saw that Zhang Hongmei and the others had returned.
“Annie, Daniel, this is your ancestor.”
"Mom, is this the great-grandmother you always talk about?"
"Yes, that's my great-grandmother, you can call her Ancestor."
Annie had a particularly sweet tongue, which made the old lady smile. Daniel, on the other hand, didn't respond well. He called her "Grandma" in a stiff voice and immediately returned to Zhang Hongmei's side.
"Annie, Daniel, you can just call this grandma."
The mother and daughter had both prepared gifts for their first meeting. Little Li already had eight gifts in his hand.
"Grandma, Auntie, you should go and rest too, it's getting late."
The house was so noisy that the four children were startled awake and started crying loudly.
"Mom, my little brothers are awake. I'll come and hold them."
Zhang Shouyi picked up the fourth brother and handed him to Annie. "This is the fourth brother, your fourth brother."
Seeing the little girl holding the child so skillfully, Zhang Shouyi found it amusing.
"Daniel, Mommy's going to feed the little ones. Would you like to come to bed with Mommy?"
Zhang Hongmei took the baby from Zhang Shouyi and breastfed it, half-covering herself.
Daniel stared intently, and Zhang Shouyi's face darkened. He picked up the third son and placed him next to Daniel.
“Daniel, look, this is the third child, your youngest brother. Doesn’t he look like your mother?”
Daniel's attention was drawn to the third child, who looked just like his mother.
Daniel lay beside the third son, watching him writhe and cry. Startled, he sat bolt upright.
Zhang Shouyi picked up the third son, "Daniel, do you want to hug him?"
Annie also saw what the third brother looked like. "Godfather, can I hold my third brother?"
Zhang Shouyi smiled and nodded. He put down the third son and took the fourth.
Annie immediately went to bed and picked up the youngest child, who was crying but not shedding a tear.
“Daniel, look. Doesn’t he look just like his mother? Isn’t he exactly the same?”
The two sisters sat on the bed, each holding their youngest child in their arms.
Zhang Shouyi is very magnanimous; if the old lady were here, she would absolutely not allow it.
Huang Meihua and Beth quickly took a shower and changed their clothes. Aunt Li led them directly to Zhang Hongmei's room.
Xiao Li stood at the door. "Madam, please come in. Sir, please wait a moment. Madam is feeding the baby."
As soon as Huang Meihua entered the room, she saw her grandchildren on the bed, holding a baby. She quickly walked over.
"Grandma, come here quickly and look at my third brother. He looks just like Mom."
Huang Meihua was also amazed by the child. But what surprised her most was that the child looked even more like the Empress than Zhang Hongmei.
Zhang Shouyi took the eldest son and handed the second son to his wife.
The fourth brother was getting upset. Nobody paid him any attention. He just kept crying without actually doing anything.
Zhang Shouyi stood in front of him, looking at him, but didn't reach out to hug him.
Huang Meihua looked at it and was speechless. Was this a father and son arguing?
She walked to the crib and picked up the fourth child. This kid was clever; he immediately stopped crying and kept snuggling into Huang Meihua's arms.
"Little Li."
Xiao Li, who was outside the door, immediately called over Aunt Yang and Aunt Chen.
The two were busy washing the bottoms of the two older children and changing their diapers.
The third child didn't cry or fuss in Annie's arms, which made Annie extremely fond of him.
Daniel poked the third brother's chubby arm with his finger.
"Sister, he's too fat."
"Yes, you've gained a lot of weight since then."
Zhang Hongmei was feeding her fourth child when she overheard the two little adults talking. She smiled, thinking how amusing it was for children to chatter.
"Annie, hand me your third brother. I need to feed him. Hurry up and put them all to sleep. When will they grow up to be as sensible as you two?"
After the children were all cleaned up, Zhang Hongmei hurriedly asked Zhang Shouyi to invite a bassist.
The elderly couple looked at the four children lined up on the bed. They were especially fond of the third child, who looked just like Zhang Hongmei; he was just too adorable.
Beth pulled out six diamonds, each the size of a fingernail, and each engraved with a number.
