"That's great, haha, my daughter and son are older than his."
"Twins?" Zhang Hongmei was pleasantly surprised.
"No, I just didn't know it was a daughter or a son."
"You didn't even explain yourself clearly, leaving me disappointed. Do you need someone to take care of you?"
"No need. I didn't even ask my mother to come. Liang Dan is a good doctor. We'll let the old lady come when the weather cools down at the end of October."
"Then you should be more careful."
This was good news, and Zhang Hongmei was in a good mood. Song Zigan had called yesterday to say that Sanya was alright and the doctor said she was out of danger. However, she would still need to stay in the hospital for a few more days.
Liu Jingzhang has brought more good news; how could anyone not be happy?
Zhang Hongmei just wants everyone around her to be happy.
That evening, she took the initiative, which was rare for her, and Zhang Shouyi was truly flattered.
"Honey, I hope you'll always be this enthusiastic. Is something making you happy?"
"Yes, Liu Jingzhang called to say that Liang Dan is pregnant."
"Hehe, you're this happy?"
"That's right. The only ones missing are Chengzi and Xiao Li, and then everyone around us will be happy."
"Hehe. Little Li?"
"Really? Doesn't he want to settle down?"
"Yes, I asked him, and he has no intention of getting married."
"That won't do. How lonely he'll be when he's old? He'll be thirty by now, won't he?"
"Yes, he's thirty too."
"I'll ask him tomorrow and find them both wives as soon as possible, then I can put my mind at ease."
"Ha, then I'll leave it to you. But I doubt Xiao Li has found a girl he likes."
"Could he be attracted to men?"
Zhang Shouyi raised an eyebrow after hearing his wife's words. "Why would you have such a thought?"
"Didn't you say he looked down on women?"
Does disliking women necessarily mean liking men?
"I just said that offhand."
The next day, Zhang Hongmei indeed called Xiao Li to the study.
"Xiao Li, you're thirty already. Everyone else is married and has children. What are your plans?"
"Madam, I do not wish to get married."
"How could I not want to? No, you have to get married. Tell me, which girl do you like?"
Xiao Li: Can I force myself to do this? Besides, I really have no plans to get married.
"Madam, I really haven't noticed."
"Xiao Li, what do you think of Gan Lu? She's beautiful and composed. Besides, she's one of us, someone we know well."
"Madam, you can make the arrangements as you see fit. If Ganlu has no objections, I will agree."
"It's you who's looking for a wife, how can you be so indifferent?"
Xiao Li fell silent. Wasn't this asking a difficult question? He had never even considered this question before, and now he was suddenly being asked about his feelings for the girl. How could he possibly answer?
"Alright, since you're not going to say anything, I'll go ask Ganlu what she thinks. If she doesn't like you, that's fine, but I'll still have to find you a girl. You should pay more attention to girls."
"Madam, you made a mistake."
"Alright, alright, I've got it all taken care of. You just need to wait to be the groom."
Zhang Hongmei was a woman of action, and she immediately called Gan Lu over.
"Ganlu, you're the only girl left now. What are your thoughts?"
"lady?"
"Since they're all married, do you have any gay men you're interested in?"
Gan Lu shook her head. "Madam, I have no plans to get married."
"Why?"
"Because you can't continue working after you get married."
"No, aren't they all giving me work?"
"But they're not bodyguards anymore."
"Oh, so that's what you mean. What do you think of Xiao Li? After you get married, you can stay with me while he stays with the boss."
Ganlu fell silent, frowning as she thought for a moment. "Madam, this is against the rules."
"It's okay, if I say it's fine, then it's fine. Or do you dislike Xiao Li?"
"Madam, I really have no plans to get married."
Zhang Hongmei looked at Gan Lu and sighed, "I'm just afraid you'll be lonely when you get old."
"No, madam, I really don't want to get married."
"Alright, since you're unwilling, I won't force you."
After the couple finished exercising in the evening, Zhang Shouyi lazily played with the ends of Zhang Hongmei's hair.
"Honey, Xiao Li just pleaded with me; he really doesn't want to get married."
"Ganlu said the same thing. I have no idea what they're thinking."
"Alright, since they all disagree, let's leave it at that."
"That's all we can do. If they don't want to, they don't want to. I'll ask Chengzi what he thinks tomorrow. I guess that'll be the case too."
After entering July, Zhang Hongmei actually wanted to move back to Fuzeyuan, but Zhou Shixiong's health was not good and he really couldn't move. Now she has to go and stay with him for two hours every afternoon.
Seeing the children huddled in this small place, Zhang Hongmei and Gu Chuanming discussed something.
"Grandpa, why don't we send the children to Fuzeyuan? They'll be taken care of there."
"Alright, let your dad go over there. We'll just stay here, you and your son."
"Yes, I understand. Zhou Shixiong's temper is getting weirder and weirder. He doesn't even like Liu Qiang anymore. He keeps talking about Zhenye and the others all day long."
"It's okay, that's how it is when you get old."
The seven children didn't need to pack anything; the eight workers, along with Zhang Xingguo and the others, moved to Fuzeyuan that afternoon.
The children were much happier when they arrived at the spacious area.
That evening, Zhang Hongmei noticed that Zhang Shouyi didn't look well. "What's wrong, Brother Zhang?"
"Yes, I told you, you're not allowed to rush."
"What happened?" Zhang Hongmei's heart skipped a beat. Had something happened to the children?
"Here's the thing, Stone had a mission last year that he completed very well, but on his way back he discovered spies, so now we can't contact him at all."
"Stone?"
"Yes, stone."
Zhang Hongmei's eyes reddened. "What are we going to do? Why is that brat Shi Tou being so stubborn? Does he have to do this? Am I supposed to just leave him alone? What's wrong with doing business?"
"See, I told you, you can't be sad."
How long has he been missing?
"It's been a month."
Tears streamed down Zhang Hongmei's face. Her mind was a mess; she didn't know who to blame or what to blame.
“Brother Zhang, you must send someone to find him. I can’t accept this.”
"Yes, we sent people down a long time ago, but there's been no news."
Zhang Hongmei burst into tears. Zhang Shouyi had never seen Zhang Hongmei like this before and was startled.
"Honey, Liu Baoguo went down there personally, and a pair of special police officers from over there also went down. Don't worry, everything will be alright, there will definitely be a result."
“I’ll have him discharged as soon as he comes back; my heart can’t take it.”
"Fine, fine, let him retire when he comes back, we don't need him anymore."
Zhang Hongmei woke up several times in the middle of the night. Zhang Shouyi frowned, regretting telling her.
