Daniel wasn't brought to the birthday party this time; the current environment really wasn't suitable for him to be there.
Zhang Hongmei discussed it with him for a while. Daniel finally agreed to stay at home with Wang Xinyi.
However, he was definitely not in a good mood. From then on, he clung to her even more tightly.
Zhang Hongmei hasn't brought the children into her spatial dimension for several days, and she won't be able to for a while. Daniel won't leave her side, so she can't even give them the spiritual spring water to drink.
Huang Meihua and Beth returned three days later. Both were successful people of that age, and Zhang Hongmei couldn't discern anything from their faces.
"Grandpa and Grandma, you're finally back. I was so worried about you."
"Hehe, my granddaughter is the most thoughtful."
Annie hovered around the two elderly people; they were still quite disoriented after being away for a few days.
"Godmother, how is things at home?"
"Everything is fine. My second brother and his family moved and didn't stay in the capital. I also went to T City to see them."
Our Huang family has now become an ordinary family. My two older brothers were born out of wedlock, and our relationship has always been very distant. Now, only my nephews are left. I wanted to help them, but they refused.
“Godmother, everyone has their own destiny.”
"Yes, I know that too. So in the end, we just bought some grain for each family, and that was it."
"Hongmei, your godfather and I are going to Q City for a while, so Annie and the other girl will have to stay with you."
"No problem, don't worry. The driver is on hand for you. They'll take care of anything."
"Yes, I understand. I'm worried about your godfather; I'm afraid he might be in danger here. With me by his side, at least we'll have some room to talk."
"Godmother, don't worry. The drivers we arranged are all our own people. They are capable of handling it."
The elderly couple rested at home for a day and then set off for Q City with four other people. Since Sang Hongxiu was still in charge there and Roger was still in Hai City, Zhang Hongmei's dividend had not yet been allocated. Beth was going there to handle this matter.
Zhang Hongmei has fully recovered from her postpartum confinement, but she still can't take Annie and the others out to eat. Every day, Chengzi or Wang Xiaoshun takes Annie and Wang Zining out to play.
But Wang Xinyi and the others were also leaving. They had already paid respects to their relatives here, and they had to return to Zhao Tiancheng's hometown.
The children were reluctant to part, but in the end, Wang Zining left.
Now only Liu Jingsong will be able to play with Annie on Saturdays and Sundays.
Half a month has passed now, and Er Ya is already five months pregnant. I wonder when Cheng Guangxiu and the others will be able to come back.
"Mom, are Uncle Cheng and the others so busy with work?" After waking up from her afternoon nap, Annie and Zhang Hongmei were playing in the study. Annie finally asked the question.
"I don't know either. Their work is so special that we can't contact them normally."
"Annie, I'm so sorry, Mom can't take you out to play properly." Zhang Hongmei felt really sorry.
"Mom, what are you saying? I've already been to all the big places in the capital, and I think it's fine to stay at home with my younger brothers."
"Thank you for your understanding, Annie. You're always so considerate and thoughtful."
"Mom, is it because of your status as my godfather that you can't go out easily?"
"Yes, and we can't openly say here that you and Daniel are my children. Mom really feels sorry."
"Then I am still my mother's daughter."
“Annie, in a few years, we will be able to go out openly and proudly, and I can proudly tell everyone that Anne McCann is my daughter.”
Annie didn't understand these things, but she was still very happy that Zhang Hongmei said that.
Daniel ran into the study. "Mom, the brothers are awake."
At dinner time, Cheng Guangxu, Er Ya, Cai Peilin, Lu Yue, Zeng Zhongkang, and Wang Ying came over together.
Annie was overjoyed to see them. After all, they had been together for over two years; how could they not have feelings for each other?
“Our angels have all grown into young women. It’s been over a year since I last saw Annie, and she’s grown so much taller.” Cheng Guangxi held Annie’s hand, and the two were very close.
That's true. Neither Zeng Zhongkang nor Cai Peilin likes to talk. Zeng Zhongkang is much better than Cai Peilin, and he spends the most time with Annie.
Zhang Shouyi returned today, with a smile on his face.
They've been hogging my wife for far too long; tonight, she'll be mine. Seeing how they interact, it wasn't for nothing that I brought all three of them out.
After dinner, Cheng Guangxu earnestly invited Annie and Daniel to his home, promising to take them to watch the flag-raising ceremony the next morning.
The flag-raising ceremony was too early, so we had to go back to stay with them.
Anne was quite interested, but Daniel didn't react at all.
In the end, it was Annie who personally persuaded him, and Cheng Guangxu even promised to bring him back for lunch the next day. Only then did Daniel agree.
"Sweetie, have fun. You've come all this way and haven't gone out to play yet, that's such a waste. Don't worry, Mom will be waiting for you at home."
After receiving Zhang Hongmei's approval, Daniel allowed Annie to lead him away.
Now all the people who wanted to steal my wife are gone. And the four kids can be fed with formula now. I can finally have some time to myself this night.
Actually, the children's room is right next door, which is quite convenient. Aunt Yang and Aunt Li are finding it a bit difficult to take care of four children, but they're still young, and we'll need to find more help later.
After seeing Zhang Shouyi's arrangements, what else did Zhang Hongmei not know? This man is too shameless.
That night also allowed Zhang Hongmei to truly witness the shamelessness of her man.
"Let me go, I still need to take care of the child tomorrow."
Let me go, I still have to feed the baby tomorrow.
Zhang Shouyi completely ignored her slight protests, repeating them over and over until Zhang Hongmei gave up on objecting.
"Honey, I've missed you so much."
"Zhang Shouyi, you are shameless!"
"My wife has such great stamina, she can even scold me. Let's do it again."
The next morning, Daniel had already returned, but Zhang Hongmei was still asleep.
After receiving instructions, Aunt Li took Daniel directly to see the child.
When Zhang Hongmei woke up and saw the old lady in the nursery, they were relieved.
Everyone knew Zhang Hongmei was a little uncomfortable, so as usual, they were afraid she would get angry.
Zhang Hongmei cursed Zhang Shouyi in her heart. That shameless bastard! He'd gone too far.
In the afternoon, Xiao Li brought four people over for Zhang Hongmei to decide on the candidates.
All four of them are in their fifties and are very experienced in taking care of children.
