After the meal, it was finally time for the mother and her five children. Zhang Hongmei gave them water and then told them stories.
Because of the magical spring water, these four children are exceptionally intelligent; otherwise, they wouldn't have won everyone's favor.
The eldest squinted, the second brother did the same as his older brother, the third brother always had a naturally cheerful look, and the fourth brother was fidgeting with his limbs. They were never still for a moment.
They finally fell asleep half an hour later. Since they were still on the first floor, the curtains were drawn. Zhang Hongmei entered her spatial dimension; there weren't many games or scripts available, so she decided to keep trying. Otherwise, she felt like she was holding a knife even when she was making money.
Time it right. Once a script is finished, leave the space immediately. The four children will wake up in about ten minutes.
Zhang Shouyi arrived home at five o'clock this afternoon. While the children were out of the room, he hugged his wife and cuddled for a while.
The dumplings for dinner were nothing special, but the same thing happened at lunchtime. Zhou Shixiong was also here tonight; Zhang Hongmei had personally invited him. It wouldn't be fun for the old man to be alone, so it was better to have someone else join in for a lively meal.
At night, the four children slept in the next room, and Aunt Yang and the other three were responsible for taking care of them.
The couple lay in bed. Today, Zhang Shouyi was a little excited and kept nagging Zhang Hongmei.
"What happy things have happened to you today that you want to share with me?"
Being with you is the happiest thing.
"Tch, fine, don't tell me then."
Zhang Hongmei leaned against the headboard, holding a joke book, which made her happiest.
"Honey, is this book more appealing than me?"
"That's not it. It's just that you always ramble on about things I don't understand, so of course it's not as interesting as a joke book."
"Hmm. Honey, what do you think makes me different from others?"
"You? You're more cunning and treacherous than others, and you're also kinder to me than others!"
"Wife, this is a classic case of giving a sweet treat after a beating! But I like what you said at the end."
He rambled on and on, without really saying anything.
Zhang Hongmei put down the joke book. "Brother Zhang, I want to write a script about a man who is depressed and unsuccessful his whole life, but after he dies, he returns to a turning point in his life, and then he has an incredible run and conquers the entire universe."
Zhang Shouyi looked at Zhang Hongmei with a complicated expression, unable to figure out what she meant. Did she know his secret? But her expression didn't seem to suggest it. If she didn't know, how could she have come up with such a story? Was it really just her imagination?
"Wife, what do you mean?"
"I was just asking what you think of this subject matter. Actually, I really don't want to film it abroad, but it might be possible to do so in China in twenty years, right?"
"Hmm, honey, do you think it's possible that I'm the kind of person you're describing?"
Zhang Hongmei looked at Zhang Shouyi with a complicated expression. In fact, she had had some doubts before, but after becoming husband and wife with him, she stopped thinking about it. No matter what kind of person he was, he was her man and the father of her children.
“Brother Zhang, no matter what kind of person you are, I only know that you are the head of our family.”
Zhang Shouyi hugged Zhang Hongmei and said, "Wife, today is the most unsuccessful day of my past life."
Today, I made a crucial mistake that cost me my current position over the next three years and will leave me in a very passive position for the next ten years.
Zhang Hongmei reached out and hugged Zhang Shouyi back. "Brother Zhang, if you don't want to talk about it, I won't ask."
"Wife, I just want to tell you that with you in my life, everything is different."
Do you remember when I said you were my fairy?
"Have you forgotten? When have you ever not used sweet words?"
"Hehe, how can you win your wife's approval without sweet words?"
I knew about your parents in my past life, but I never heard from you.
That's why I was so surprised when I met you.
You are changing the trajectory of your destiny little by little.
At that time, I thought, this is God's compensation for me in my past life, sending you to my side.
"Hehe, you're too narcissistic, aren't you? To be honest, if it weren't for Dad, I wouldn't even give you a second glance."
"Hehe, yes, the first time Dad saw you, he came home and told me. He said he'd found me a little wife."
"Hehe, Dad was really cute back then."
Zhang Hongmei wouldn't ask Zhang Shouyi about his rebirth in detail. That was her true attitude: if you're willing to tell me, I'll listen, but I'll never press for details.
I also have many things I'm hiding from him, so I have no reason to expect him to be completely honest with me.
Besides, I don't really have that much curiosity. I know without even thinking that it's probably similar to the script I just described.
Zhang Shouyi suddenly started taking off his clothes. "Wife, I want to truly feel your presence."
The next day, New Year's Day, Zhang Hongmei woke up and beat Zhang Shouyi up. He was shameless. He had no bottom line.
Zhang Shouyi chuckled as she hit him, teasingly saying, "Wife, I'm completely in your hands now. You can do whatever you want with me. I'm at your mercy, you can do whatever you want with me."
Zhang Hongmei glanced at the time and felt she shouldn't waste time in bed with him, but then she remembered she didn't have any breast milk to feed the baby, so she glared at him fiercely.
It's the first day of the Lunar New Year. No outsiders came to pay their respects; it was just the family enjoying each other's company. Usually, everyone only gets together for dinner, so it's rare to have the whole family together today.
With four children, the house is very lively. Wang Xiaoshun went home to get married this year, so only Chengzi, Xiao Li, and a few girls are there.
With so many people around, it felt lively. And the house was decorated especially festively.
Zhang Shouyi gave Liu Jingsong a large red envelope that morning. The four clever children looked at their father longingly, but received nothing.
This really stirred up a hornet's nest. A quartet! Zhang Hongmei was so angry that she turned around and went to the kitchen. Zhang Shouyi was being so boring.
Jinsong was startled, but he only had one red envelope in his hand. Suddenly, he turned around and ran back to his room, where he brought out three more. These were given to him by Zhang Xingguo and the others. He handed them to his four younger brothers who were all talk and no action.
The four children, holding the red envelopes given to them by Liu Jingsong, continued to cry and beg Zhang Shouyi.
"Hehe, have you four become more shrewd?" Zhang Shouyi doesn't wear his glasses at home now, and Zhou Shixiong hasn't come over yet, so there's no need for pretense.
He smiled, and the four demon kings immediately stopped crying and started playing with the red envelopes in their hands.
"Zhang Shouyi, how dare you bully my grandson?" Zhang Xingguo couldn't stand it anymore. What kind of father is this?
The four younger children smiled obsequiously at Zhang Xingguo. This only made the old man more dissatisfied with his son.
