Zhang Hongmei smiled and handed the child to Li Cuihua. "Third Aunt, are you happy now?"
"Yes, we're so happy! We're going to be dads on Christmas Eve."
Liu Maocai also stared at the child's smiling face.
When Zhang Hongmei returned, she told the two elderly people that Ping An had given birth to a healthy baby boy weighing eight pounds. The two elderly people were very happy for Ping An.
After twelve days, the child's family returned, including Shi Tou and Er Lengzi.
"It's really not easy for the two of you to come back."
"Sister Hongmei, please don't be so sarcastic. I just brought Chenxi back."
"Okay, Chenxi can go straight to junior high school, right?"
"Yes, just arrange a nanny for them and let the two brothers live on their own. That's how Liu Qiang and his brother got by."
"Okay, I understand. Don't worry, I'll take care of it."
Su Chen laughed and said, "I came back to see Liu Qiang's wife. Your brother and I are also looking forward to having a grandson."
"The next child born will be Zhiyuan's."
"Yes, and then it's Chongyu's. This old lady should have been worried a long time ago."
Er Ya laughed from the side, "Wang Ying is the most anxious. Zhi Yu hasn't come back yet, it's been a month already."
The group chatted and laughed, and then had dinner at a restaurant that evening, with everyone who could come eating together.
By the end of August, Zhiyu and Qingyang returned together with Xiao Wu and the other two.
Looking at her son whom she hadn't seen for a year, Wang Ying was so excited that she didn't know what to say.
Lu Yue is the same; she only has Qingyang as her child.
"Zhiyu, go meet Wang Zitong, whom I've taken a liking to, tomorrow."
"Okay, Mom, you can arrange it. I have no objections."
"Son, do you have a girl you like? If you do, then don't meet her, otherwise you'll feel bad for her."
Zeng Zhiyu shook his head. "Mom, no, how would I have the chance to meet girls?"
"Okay, go wash up quickly, I'll go cook for you."
Lu Yue was the same; she wasn't as emotionally expressive as Wang Ying, but she was still quite excited to see her son.
"Qingyang, Mom has found a girl for you."
"Mom, I know. You can arrange it. I'll do whatever you want. I haven't been by your side these past few years. I'm an unfilial son."
Lu Yue's eyes welled up with tears. Although he only had one son, she was content.
"Okay, Mom will call them in a bit, and we'll arrange a time for you two to meet."
When Xiao Wu and his two nephews got home, they received a warm welcome from their nephews. Xiao Liu went into his study, put all the food he had brought back from the ring into his bag, and then went to distribute it to his nephews.
That evening, Zhiyu and Qingyang came to the compound. They knew they would definitely come back to see Zhang Hongmei and the others.
"Alright, you two have matured a lot in the past few years, you're both grown men now." Zhang Hongmei smiled as she looked at the two of them.
When Zhang Shouyi returned home that evening, he was quite happy to see the two young men. They had grown up; the children who used to dart around his legs had grown into adults.
Their destinations had already been arranged: Zhiyu would stay with Gu Yaozu, and Qingyang would stay with Zhang Ruifeng.
"Are you two going on a blind date tomorrow?"
"Yes, my mom has made the arrangements."
"Everyone who's reached marriageable age has gotten married, leaving only the two of you."
"Auntie, we'll be good and follow the family's arrangements."
When the two returned home that evening, Wang Ying and Lu Yue were waiting for them. Their son had finally come back, and they were still in a state of excitement.
The next day at noon, Zhiyu waited for Wang Zitong at the restaurant.
Zhiyu squinted at the beautiful girl in the white dress, wondering, "Is this the girl I'm supposed to meet? Or is this the girl my brother wants to meet?"
"Hello! Are you Zeng Zhiyu? I'm Wang Zitong."
Zhiyu stood up and extended his hand. "Hello, I am Zeng Zhiyu. Miss Wang, please have a seat."
He glanced at his brother not far away and smiled.
Neither of them were particularly outgoing, but they knew what they needed to know.
"Miss Wang, this is our first meeting. What do you think of me? Is there a chance?"
Wang Zitong smiled and said, "I admire soldiers."
Zhiyu smiled and said, "To be honest, I'm not really a soldier. I graduated from a military academy, and I will work in the military in the future. That's my wish."
What's your impression of me?
"When I saw you walking over, I thought to myself, this girl is quite pretty, and it would be best if she were the one I was going to meet."
Both of them spoke rather subtly, but their meaning was clear.
Qingyang also met Gu Xiaolan. This girl was cheerful and outgoing. Although Qingyang was not talkative, the two got along quite well.
The two couples were traveling together, so they arranged to watch a movie together that evening.
Wang Ying was absent-minded all day, and her son still hadn't come home by evening. "Mom, don't wait anymore. My older brother is a grown man, how could he get lost?"
"Go away, I'm not worried about him getting lost, I just want to know if your older brother has taken a liking to that girl?"
"Mom, you're too impatient."
"How could I not be anxious? Your brother Ping An is already a father."
"Mom, can you even compare this?"
"Go, go read a book."
Seeing his mother's disapproving look, Zhiming touched his nose and decided to go back to his book.
Zeng Zhiyu escorted Wang Zitong to her doorstep. "Shall we have dinner together tomorrow night?"
"Um."
"Then I'll pick you up tomorrow."
Wang Zitong nodded, smiled, and went inside.
When Zhiyu got home, it was already 9:30. Seeing his mother sitting in the living room, he felt quite bad.
"Mom, I'm back. We went to see a movie this afternoon and had dinner together. We'll have dinner together again tomorrow night."
"So you mean you've taken a liking to that girl?"
"Yes, it's very pretty. Mom has great taste."
"Hehe, actually I didn't notice her at first. It was your aunt who said this girl was nice."
"Yes, my aunt has a good eye."
"Alright, hurry up, Zhiyu. Ping An is already a father, Zhiyuan's wife is pregnant, and your brother Chongyu is about to become a father, as is Liu Qiang. So, Mom is anxious."
"Okay, I will try my best."
Wang Ying was satisfied and patted her son on the shoulder, "Go and rest."
Lu Yue was also waiting for her son to come back. "Qingyang, how is Gu Xiaolan?"
"It's great, it complements me perfectly."
"What does the girl think?"
"They agreed to date."
"Hmm, did you see Zhiyu and the other guy today?"
"We had dinner together."
"Alright, I got it. Go get some rest now. By the way, when do you guys start work?"
"My second brother gave me a month's leave."
"Hehe, that's good, Qingyang. It would be best if you could get that girl to marry you within this month."
"Mom, we're going to the park tomorrow. I'll just ask her directly."
