After the first get out of class ended, Lu Jing informed Zhang Hongmei and Er Ya that they had given birth.
"It's another boy!"
I went home at noon, ate a quick meal, and then took the supplements to the hospital.
Upon entering the ward, I saw that Er Ya's complexion was rosy, and she didn't seem to have suffered too much.
"Hongmei, you're disappointed!" Er Ya teased with a smile.
"There's nothing I can do about being disappointed. When I was abroad, my favorite thing to do was dress up Anne. I never thought that I was so useless, and you guys are no better either. You've left me with no chance to dress up the kids."
"Hehe, just wait and see what Wang Ying and the others do."
"What are you expecting from me?" Wang Ying also pushed open the door and came in, still holding Zeng Zhiyu in her arms.
"I'm looking forward to you having a daughter. Hongmei is still waiting to dress her up."
“Hongmei, if you like it so much, why don’t you just have the baby yourself?”
Zhang Hongmei just shook her head and smiled. Zhang Shouyi had a tubal ligation and didn't want to have any more children. He said that she had neglected him too much after they had children?
That's pure nonsense; I can't even fathom what he's thinking.
Cheng Guangxu came in carrying large bags and saw the two people in the ward. His smug expression made Wang Ying want to slap him. He was just too hateful.
Zhang Hongmei picked up the little one; the child's features still resembled Cheng Guangxu's.
A short while later, Liu Maocai arrived with his two children, Liu Pengfei and Cheng Ping'an.
The two greeted Zhang Hongmei and Wang Ying politely in the ward.
Ping An and the others had already met several children. But this time it was their own little brother. Although he wasn't the youngest among the group of children, he was the youngest among those studying together. At that time, they were already thinking about how quickly their little brother in their mother's belly would be born.
"Mom, my little brother looks like me!"
Wang Ying chuckled to herself, watching her son tugging at Ping An's clothes, longing for a playmate, and realized she should have another child.
"Sister Erya, we still have a nanny at home. Send one over later so that Aunt San doesn't get too tired."
"Okay, I was about to speak up even if you didn't."
That evening, it was just the two of them, Zhang Hongmei and Cheng Guangxu, when Zhang Hongmei mentioned Cheng Guangxu's second son.
"This child still looks like his father."
"That's fine too." Zhang Shouyi didn't really care about these things; he would only agree with a few words if his wife said so.
Because it was inconvenient these past few days, Zhang Shouyi obediently held his wife, and now that it wasn't hot, Zhang Hongmei didn't refuse.
"Let's move back to the compound this week."
“Okay, we’ve expanded our house. It’s still not as spacious as here, but it gives our sons more room.”
"Yes, I know. I went to see it last week, and it was alright."
On Saturday, the whole family went back to the compound together. Zhang Hongmei is no longer opposed to this place, but she is not used to it. She just worries that it will be troublesome for them to come and see her in the future.
The happiest person is Zhou Shixiong, who still comes over for meals every day and even brings his own cook. The four children have a very full schedule of studies, and despite Zhang Hongmei's objections, their lunch break hasn't been cancelled.
Children need plenty of rest to grow quickly.
Every week, the four children talk to Annie and Daniel on the phone, and their foreign language skills are already quite advanced.
When Zhang Hongmei met Zhao Haozheng, it was already December.
"Has the matter over there been resolved?"
"Well, it's nothing serious. It's just that Wyatt's wedding has increased our workload, so James and I couldn't come at the agreed time."
Looking at the increasingly mature Zhao Haozheng, Zhang Hongmei felt a little uneasy.
“These are gifts from Annie and Daniel to the children. This is for Ningning, this is for Aunt Huang and the others, this is for Carlos, this is for Wyatt, and this is for my parents. They are all for Zhenye and the other three.”
"I've fallen out of favor now, everything is given to them, nothing is mine."
"Yes, these are the profits from textile factories, trading companies, and clubs."
"That's too vulgar, it's all about money."
Zhao Hao rolled his eyes at her. "You're becoming more and more extraordinary. This is a gift for you."
"Just give the gift you gave me to Lu Xing. I don't want to see your gifts."
"Zhang Hongmei, you're getting lazier and lazier."
"I only have the luxury of being lazy because of you guys. By the way, you're twenty-seven now, when are you getting married?"
"I came here to see if Lu Xing will agree to marry me. You don't need to interfere; I'll ask him myself."
Zhao Haozheng and Lu Xing would talk on the phone once or twice a month, and he had a good impression of this quiet and pretty girl.
"What? Are you in a hurry?"
“Ever since Wyatt got married, I’ve felt harassed. Too many people want to set me up with girlfriends.”
"Your motives are not pure."
"How is it not pure? Let me tell you, I'm already fed up with it. Besides, my parents both like Lu Xing, and I also have a good feeling about the girl. If we can reach an agreement while we're in China, we'll go back to the US together to get married and start a family."
"Then go and pursue it yourself."
In fact, Zhang Hongmei and Lu Xing had talked about it, and this young girl actually had a good impression of Zhao Haozheng.
How many days are you staying here?
"I'll talk to Lu Xing for a week. If he doesn't like me and isn't willing to come with me, I'll stay for three days."
"You've got guts!"
"Hehe, that's just how I am."
"I've called my four children back here to have dinner with you."
"That's great! I heard from my mom that these four little ones are exceptionally smart, and their foreign language skills are already quite high!"
"It's alright, I talk to them on the phone every week."
After Zhang Hongmei finished speaking, she called the compound and notified Lu Xing to come over as well.
Two nannies were left here; they were notified to prepare dinner immediately.
Zhao Haozheng reported to Zhang Hongmei on the company's major moves over the past two years. Although he had mentioned it on the phone, this was a more comprehensive account.
At 6:30, the four children arrived with Zhang Shouyi.
Knowing that the leader was coming, Zhao Hao was genuinely flattered and shook hands to greet him.
Zhao Hao was stunned when he saw the four children. They were so exquisite! Annie and Danielle were already good-looking, but compared to these four children, they were still a bit lacking.
"You four, this is your Uncle Zhao, who is Ningning's uncle's older brother."
Zhenye led the way in greeting them. Zhao Haozheng happily gave them four gifts. These were handheld game consoles; Zhao Haozheng had brought back more than ten this time. They were special gifts for the children.
“Uncle Zhao, this is not a good thing. I know this is the game console that Sister Annie was talking about. You are tempting us and making us neglect our studies.”
Zhao Hao smiled as he looked at the little boy who looked exactly like Zhang Hongmei, acting innocent despite having gotten the better deal. He and his mother not only resembled each other in appearance, but also in personality.
"As expected of your mother's son. But I like him. You're Zhang Weiyu?"
