The two agreed, as the work was indeed very tiring, so they decided to give Uncle Zhao a day off.
After Er Ya saw off the elderly and children, she was all alone at home, so she simply moved to Fuzeyuan to live.
Qingyang and Zhiyu are currently taking extra classes and will soon be seniors in high school. They are both quiet people, but they have discussed with their families that they want to apply to military academies, and they want to apply to military academies in Haishi.
Zeng Zhongkang was naturally delighted. He was a soldier himself and loved this profession very much. Since his son had decided to enter this field, he naturally supported him.
Cai Peilin had no objections; he supported his son's decisions.
Wang Ying and Lu Yue agreed. When Zhang Hongmei learned of the two children's decision, she didn't say anything. It was their own decision, their own hobby, so she let them be.
Now Zhang Hongmei is always accompanied by her two daughters-in-law, so she is not lonely even though Xiao Wu and the others can't come back.
However, Gu Chuanming's health deteriorated in the latter half of this year, causing Zhang Hongmei great concern. Dr. Sun had previously stated that the elderly man had been fine for the past two or three years. He simply wasn't as robust as before.
Zhang Xingguo is still in good health, but he is almost seventy years old, and Zhang Hongmei pays special attention to him.
The peaceful days passed by exceptionally quickly. It was already mid-August, and Li Cuihua and her family had returned from their hometown.
Seeing the listless old lady and her husband, Zhang Hongmei and Zhang Shouyi each gave the two elderly people a cup of spiritual spring water.
Zhang Hongmei hopes that the old man can live a long and healthy life without illness or pain.
"Are you relieved now?" Zhang Shouyi held his wife's hand as they walked in the yard to digest their food.
"Yeah, I feel a bit more at ease now."
"Honey, after Zhang Zhenye and the others get married, let's leave them here and go on a trip?"
"Hehe, I'd like to, but what about your time? Grandpa's health isn't good either. I can only think about it for now. I think it would be good if we could get out of here within ten years."
Zhang Shouyi sighed. Yes, although his son was able to take over the business, there were still elderly people to care for.
Only after all the elderly people have left can the couple go out.
There are also three sons to be taken care of. Thinking about it, there are really too many things to do.
"Wife, what are your plans for Xiao Wu and the other two?"
Zhang Hongmei gave Zhang Shouyi a strange look. What's wrong with this guy? Why is he arranging things for later today?
"I don't know either. Let them choose for themselves when they turn fifteen."
“Okay, there are still a few years. Once our sons have settled down and the elders have all passed away, my husband and I will go. You've suffered a lot by staying with me all your life.”
Zhang Hongmei laughed, "Yes, I feel like my whole life has been about giving birth and raising children."
The couple held hands, and Yang Lijun and Zou Haiyin, who were in their living room, were very envious.
"Sister Lijun, your parents have such a good relationship."
Yang Lijun nodded, "Yes, I wish we could have a life like that in the future."
"Absolutely, they seem like a match made in heaven, so enviable."
I wonder when they'll be back? Yaozu called and said they won't be back until mid-September.
"They won't have much time to come back. You've heard about Mom's past. Such a brilliant woman, yet she was willing to be confined to this small plot of land for Dad's sake."
"Sister Lijun, this is what your life will be like from now on. We should be much better off than you."
"We're about the same. But I can stay put."
"I'm not so sure. I don't like being trapped all the time."
The two women were talking quietly in the living room about their future, and they seemed to have some ideas about what the future held.
"Sister Lijun, when do you think Xiao Wu and the others will be able to come back? I haven't dared to ask Mom, for fear of upsetting her."
"I estimate it will be around the Lunar New Year. They have a lot more homework than we do."
“That’s normal. Xiao Wu and the other two are quite skilled at painting. Last time, Xiao Liu painted a landscape for me. It was really good. He told me that they have a special teacher to teach them.”
"Just looking at them makes me tired. Xiaoqi said they gather at five o'clock every day to exercise. They are still children."
Both girls simultaneously thought about how they would have children someday, and that this would definitely be their life. No need to adapt; just thinking about it was exhausting.
"Sister Lijun, are you going back to your hometown this year?"
"I'm not going back. There's nothing left for me at home."
“Yes, you buried your aunt’s ashes here, so there’s really no need to go back.” Zou Haiyin knew that Yang Lijun and her daughter had faced a lot of discrimination in their hometown and had no feelings for the place at all.
"Haiyain, are you going back?"
“We won’t go either. My second and third uncles’ families will come during the Chinese New Year. Grandpa is getting old, and we’re worried that he’ll get tired from the car ride.”
"Yes, nothing is more important than the health of the elderly."
"Sister Lijun, has your father contacted you?"
Yang Lijun shook her head. "No, he won't come looking for me. He hates me now, thinking that I'm the one who made Grandpa sever ties with him."
"What does this have to do with you?" Zou Haiyin was speechless at Lijun's father. He didn't treat her like his daughter at all, but like an enemy.
"We have a foreign language class tomorrow, and I think the teachers here are just as good as our professors."
"Well, our spoken English is better now. We'll have time to go abroad next year." Yang Lijun had met foreigners before, but it was when she was a ghost in her previous life. She didn't feel anything for them, and she couldn't understand what they were saying.
However, I know a foreign language and want to go out and see the world. But if I get married, the chances of me going out are really slim.
“That’s what I was thinking too. Yaozu told me that they all have houses abroad, so we’ll go and take a look when the time comes.”
"Hmm, I'll talk to Qin Shuang and Tang Feiyan tomorrow, and we should all go together."
While they were enjoying their leisure time, Zhang Ruifeng and Gu Yaozu in Country M had already graduated and achieved exceptional results in the martial arts competition. The school offered them a place to stay, but they declined.
He hurried back to help his older brother and his brother.
I'll be going back to China in just over ten days, and there's still a lot of work to be done at the companies here.
With their addition, Zhang Zhenye and Zhang Weiyu felt much more relaxed, and Wang Zining was now able to stand on his own.
That evening, they went to Zhao Tiancheng's house for dinner. "Grandma, the soup was delicious today."
"This is a soup I specially made for you, a brain-boosting soup."
Zhenye, what date are you leaving?
Wang Xinyi is almost seventy years old, and Zhao Tiancheng and his brother have basically handed over everything to the two of them.
