Zhang Hongmei smiled and agreed with Er Ya, saying that these children had all been with her since they were little.
They started cooking over here, and this time there were two tables just for the kids. It's really lively now.
After the meal, Jiang Yan found Zhang Hongmei.
"Sister-in-law, you haven't changed much in the past few years."
Jiang Yan smiled awkwardly, "I've hardly gone to work these past few years; I've just stayed home taking care of Yuxuan."
"oh!"
“Hongmei, let Yuxuan stay this time. I’m so incompetent. I’ve raised him like this. Please help me and educate him. Your older brother and I don’t expect him to become successful or bring glory to the family, but at least we want him to be able to live independently when he grows up.”
"Okay, we can let Yuxuan stay, but I can't give you any guarantees. You should know that educating children is no small matter, and I can't make any promises to you."
Jiang Yan nodded, "I understand, and I'm not someone who can't distinguish right from wrong."
“Sister-in-law, I still have to tell you, I raised a child when he was a child, but when he turned twelve, I gave him up.”
“Hongmei, I know him. I’ve met Liu Jingsong. He’s still in high school, but his grades aren’t very good.”
"Yes, that's right, it's Liu Jingsong. I'm not afraid of the children's future success, nor do I need them to repay me, but I cannot tolerate their poor character."
I just glanced at Liu Yuxuan from the side. He shouldn't be a particularly wicked person in the future. If he wants to succeed, he'll have to rely on himself. All I can do is find someone to guide him properly.
It's hard to say what Yuxuan will become in the future. But I assure you that his education will be the same as my own child's.
"Hongmei, thank you. I'm content with this."
Actually, I've figured it out these past couple of days. You know me, it's because they said I couldn't have children that I got divorced. So, I'm very determined to have children.
Seeing the sunrise made me truly realize that I had neglected my child.
Zhang Hongmei shook her head. "Sister-in-law, actually the children started learning when they were a little over three years old, but they weren't taught a lot of obscure and difficult knowledge directly. Someone was guiding them to learn while playing."
Actually, it's not too late for Yuxuan. It's never too late to learn.
It's just that your words and actions set a bad example for him.
The two chatted for a while longer. Zhenye and the others had other things to do in the afternoon, so they went back.
Yu Xuan watched his brothers get into the car, feeling genuinely envious.
As the couple lay in bed that night, Zhang Shouyi said to his wife, "Why do you make trouble for yourself?" He felt sorry for her. He knew that if Zhang Hongmei didn't care, she would be fine, but once she took over, she would definitely want to do her best.
"Sigh! There's no other way. If I really don't do anything about it, I won't be able to live with myself."
It was almost the 28th of the twelfth lunar month. Er Lengzi and his wife returned and stayed at Fuzeyuan. Liu Qiang wouldn't be back until tomorrow, so Xiang Dong and Xiang Bei were the only ones left.
They both remember when they came here. Besides, their parents stayed in the capital for more than two months last year, so the family has a very good understanding of each other.
Fifteen years later, Zhenye and his classmates started school. Now they are almost always studying, but due to time constraints, it is impossible for them to finish their studies. However, they have not given up.
Spring has arrived and flowers are in bloom. People on the streets have taken off their winter coats, and everyone's face seems to be beaming with joy.
By this time, Liu Yuxuan had improved a lot. Zhang Hongmei was afraid that they would have a conflict at first, so she taught Liu Yuxuan alone.
We let him go back to his grandparents for two days every week so that he won't feel homesick.
Actually, Liu Yuxuan no longer cries and throws tantrums at the drop of a hat; he is now a five-year-old child.
With so many children in the family, even though I can't attend classes with them, I still have a lot of time to play.
Xiao Wu and the others knew what kind of person Liu Yuxuan was, so they turned a blind eye to him and never held it against him.
However, Zhang Hongmei strictly forbade them from going along with Liu Yuxuan. "Who will take care of him after he enters society?" she asked.
July arrived in the blink of an eye, and there were only two weeks left until the exams. Pengfei and Ping'an had already finished their exams and achieved good results, so they were admitted to No. 4 Middle School without any doubt.
They were on holiday, so they came over to keep the younger ones company and didn't go out to play.
Carlos called almost every day to inquire about their arrangements.
Zhang Shouyi was extremely unwilling. His sons were about to leave him. What was going on? He had just sent his wife away, but she had returned after three years of hard work, and now he had to send his sons away too.
That evening, Daniel called Zhang Weiyu. "San'er, you don't need to bring anything. Everything has been arranged for them. It's still the same house where Mom used to live, and the nanny has also been arranged. The four of you will be staying at home."
"Brother, let's stay outside too. We'll talk about it later. We'll probably leave around August 5th."
"Okay, I'll come pick you up."
Xiao Wu was very unhappy and sat down angrily.
Liu Jingze sat down next to him and patted him on the shoulder. "Son, it's okay. Your brother and the others will be back soon."
"Godfather, you make it sound so easy. It hurts me to suddenly have four fewer people in the family."
"All good things must come to an end; you will part ways sooner or later."
Xiao Wu fell silent even more. He was extremely depressed.
All the children came over, wanting to spend more time with Zhenye and the other three before they left.
Looking at so many children, Gu Chuanming felt a pang of sadness. His precious children were leaving, and he was incredibly reluctant to part with them.
He wouldn't hinder the children's growth, so even though he was reluctant, he didn't say anything to them.
The four of them still went to Zhou Shixiong's grave to burn paper money. They told him that they were going abroad.
Even if they were unwilling, the time to leave had come. With Zhang Hongmei's special permission, everyone in the family went to see the four of them off.
Zhang Weiyu held Xiao Wu's hand and said, "I'm entrusting the great-grandfather and grandfather to you."
"Third Brother, I understand. Don't worry, I'll be their source of joy."
"Yes, they are getting old, you should visit the old man often."
Xiao Wu nodded. He could feel that the old lady was his favorite person, so he truly liked her.
The thirteen of them boarded the plane anyway. Zhenye looked at his family in the distance through the small window, unable to see their expressions, but he still couldn't bear to look away.
Touching the ring on my hand, I thought about what my mother had said yesterday, and the fantastical scene from yesterday.
I know my mother is telling the truth; she's very worried about them, otherwise she wouldn't have told them this.
