"That puts my mind at ease. There's nothing to be angry about. Just let it go. Besides, you still have children to raise."
Yu Hongxia nodded, "I understand. My son is still young. If something really happens to him, I won't be able to survive."
Seeing that Yu Hongxia was still not in good spirits, Zhang Hongmei left after a while. She told her that Wang Ying had already found a caregiver and that she could rest assured and focus on recovering.
As I left the hospital, I saw Yu Xi outside the car window.
Judging from the situation, she's standing outside, afraid to go into the hospital. What's the point? Zhang Hongmei shook her head and went home.
That evening, I talked to Zhang Shouyi about this, and I felt terrible. "This child is too selfish. If it were me, I would want my mother to be happy and have a good future. She's already married, but her own mother doesn't want her to settle down."
Zhang Shouyi patted his wife on the back, thinking that this was someone else's business.
"Honey, I think Zhenye and the others will soon be able to take over my work. Shall we go on a trip together?"
Zhang Hongmei looked at Zhang Shouyi seriously and said, "Brother Zhang, let's not do it this way. Let's wait until Grandpa and the others leave before we talk about it. I'm worried. I'm also afraid I'll regret it."
Zhang Shouyi didn't know what to say, since he also had these concerns himself.
"Brother Zhang, why don't you help Zhenye and the others for a few more years?"
Since they couldn't go on a trip, Zhang Shouyi came up with a solution: the whole family went to the beach.
Zhang Hongmei thought the suggestion was excellent. So she also invited Liu Aimin and his wife, and Liu Maocai and his wife, to set off together.
With the domestic economy booming and two sons, Zhang Shouyi has a lot more free time. So this time, he put aside his work and came out to relax with his wife.
The retirement home received the notification and immediately began preparations.
Gu Chuanming is getting on in years, and such a long journey is still a burden for him.
"Grandpa, are you feeling better now?" Zhang Hongmei was very anxious and also a little regretful.
After drinking the spiritual spring water, Gu Chuanming felt much more relaxed.
He patted Zhang Hongmei's hand with a smile and said, "Don't worry, I'm fine. Even if it takes a while, I'll drag it out until Xiao Wu and the other two get married."
Zhang Hongmei nodded. "Xiao Wu and the others will be in their second year of high school soon, and they'll be fourteen years old. You must persevere."
"Yes, I can wait."
Gu Chuanming is now 105 years old, making him the oldest person alive.
Yang Lijun and the other three were a little scared. They had been married for so many years and had a very good relationship with the old man. Moreover, the old man was genuinely good to them. How could they not have feelings for him?
Gu Chuanming knew the children were scared this time, but he had really tried his best and didn't want the younger generation to worry about him.
In fact, not only Gu Chuanming, but Liu Maocai and Li Cuihua also felt tired, but they did not show it.
Originally, they came out for a happy vacation, but now that it's turned out like this, Zhang Hongmei has lost all interest in having fun. So she simply let her daughters-in-law take the children to play, while she stays with the elderly woman.
After a couple of days, the old man recovered.
Zhang Hongmei and Zhang Shouyi would push Gu Chuanming in his stroller along the beach every day.
“Hongmei, our bond began here.” Gu Chuanming recalled that it was here that he met Hongmei and, following his own wishes, took in the child and released her as his granddaughter.
Sometimes he thought that if he hadn't accepted Hongmei, he would have died long ago. How could he have enjoyed such family bliss? Would he have seen the Gu family heir?
Zhang Hongmei also recalled the situation at the time. "Yes, I was thinking, 'Such a high-ranking leader actually wants to acknowledge me?'"
"Back then, you weren't really willing."
"Hehe, yes, I am actually a person who hates trouble, but I have never had an easy life."
The three strolled along the beach, the laughter of children echoing from behind them, making Gu Chuanming even happier. He suddenly thought of Zhou Shixiong; no one in his life had been luckier than him.
Because of the elderly woman's health, they stayed at the retirement home until the end of August before deciding to fly back home.
The children are really thriving here and don't want to go back.
"Why don't you four go back, Lijun? We'll stay here a little longer."
Zhang Shouyi was a little unwilling after hearing his wife's words. He had been away for so long and should go back. Why did his wife want to stay any longer?
"Hongmei, let's go back. It's getting a bit chilly here in the mornings and evenings."
In the end, they went back together. Seeing the children looking so listless, Gu Chuanming felt sorry for them.
They arrived home on the 28th. The children, having recovered, happily ran around in the yard, forgetting their reluctance to return.
When Xiao Wu and the others returned in the evening, the nine children were even more excited. The uncles not only brought them toys, but also lots of delicious food.
Zhang Shouyi woke up suddenly in the middle of the night and looked at his sleeping wife. She was forty-two years old, but she looked like she was in her twenties. He was also over fifty, but he didn't have a single gray hair.
Privately, many people speculate about how the couple maintains their health, and it's remarkable that Mr. Gu, at 105 years old, is still quite robust.
Zhang Shouyi was a little worried. After what happened a few years ago, he knew that there were still cultivators in the world. So now he wanted to live in seclusion with his wife to avoid unnecessary trouble.
But there were too many ties, and it wasn't something he could just leave on a whim. He hugged his wife tightly, and when she snuggled closer to him, she smiled.
If I can't even protect my wife and family, I've lived a wasted life.
Zhang Shouyi understood this, then hugged his wife and closed his eyes to sleep. As long as he was strong, no demons or monsters would dare to show themselves.
School has started for all the students, and Zhang Hongmei is planning to introduce Ping An to a girlfriend on Saturday.
Li Cuihua was particularly anxious about this matter and urged him several times, so she had to give up on those younger men she had previously set her sights on.
On Saturday, Zhang Hongmei invited Du Huiyu and her daughter over for dinner. Er Ya, San Ya, and Li Cuihua, along with their mother and two daughters, also joined them.
Du Huiyu, born in 1969, is two years younger than Ping An. She is currently a sophomore at Capital Normal University.
Zhang Hongmei chose her because she had investigated the child privately and found her to be very honest and exceptionally filial.
Upon hearing these conditions, Li Cuihua wanted to meet them.
Zhang Hongmei asked Ping An for his opinion. The child's only requirements were that he be able to be filial to his elders, endure loneliness, and understand her work.
Actually, this is a very high requirement. Which newlywed couple would want their husband to be away from them all the time? But Ping An is really very busy. Wei Yu is able to go to and from work on time every day because Ping An is keeping an eye on things.
