Zhang Xingguo was genuinely overjoyed. You could tell just by looking at his gait.
"Wife, look at Dad, he's starting to ramble a bit."
You don't know, Dad really loves children, but I'm his only biological child in this life, and then you came along too.
After that, our child made up for his regret.
"Brother Zhang, your father and mother must have a very good relationship."
"Yes. Dad was an oddball among his brothers. Even though it's a new society now, Dad's brothers all had two or more women."
"Hehe, your family is powerful and influential. No one will investigate, and you can live whatever life you want."
"Yes, that's what they think, humph! Otherwise, how could I have let them fall so quickly?"
Zhang Hongmei sensed Zhang Shouyi's hostility and moved slightly. "Brother Zhang!"
"Yes, it's okay."
"Wife, you can't be afraid of me. I can accept anyone else being afraid of me, disliking me, or hating me. But not you. I can't accept your distancing."
"No, I just felt that you were too aggressive just now."
"I'm sorry, but when I think of them, I can't help but become violent."
Go to sleep. I'll tell you about my family situation another time.
"Hmm. I'm sleepy, I'm going to sleep."
Zhang Shouyi, holding his wife in his arms, gradually regained his composure. He now had a wife and children, and he had avenged himself. Unless he died, they would never be able to turn their lives around.
Zhang Shouyi reached out and stroked his belly, but the baby was asleep and did not interact with him.
Listening to my wife's steady breathing, I drifted off to sleep without realizing it.
Two hours later, Zhang Shouyi woke up. He hadn't had such a sweet sleep in a long time and felt completely relaxed.
I checked the time; it was almost four o'clock. I decided to wake my wife up.
Zhang Hongmei groggily opened her eyes, glanced at Zhang Shouyi, and smiled at him.
"Wife, don't seduce me!"
Zhang Hongmei rolled her eyes at him, thinking he was being quite improper.
The two got up, and Zhang Shouyi asked someone to bring hot water. He helped pour it into the bathtub. "Wife, it's ready."
Zhang Hongmei took in a bucket of water, then poured out half a bucket of water, which Zhang Shouyi helped add to the hot water.
"Get out!"
"Wife, no, I can't. I'm worried. Your body can't afford any mishaps. We're husband and wife now, what's there to be shy about?"
Zhang Hongmei dodged his hand that was trying to help her and turned her back to him to take off her clothes.
Zhang Shouyi watched from behind, swallowing hard. Although Zhang Hongmei was five months pregnant and carrying multiple pregnancies, her figure remained unchanged.
"Wife, let me help you."
Zhang Shouyi touched his wife's arm and noticed that she was all red. Zhang Shouyi's mouth was dry, but he knew that he absolutely could not do anything reckless now. He endured the discomfort and helped Zhang Hongmei into the bathtub.
"Wife, let me help you scrub your back."
Zhang Hongmei remained silent, genuinely embarrassed. Although they were husband and wife, this situation still made her uncomfortable.
After soaking for only fifteen minutes, Zhang Shouyi wrapped Zhang Hongmei in a bath towel and carried her out.
"Brother Zhang, don't worry about me, I can manage on my own. You should go take a bath too, it'll do you good."
"Let me dry your hair and change your clothes first."
"No need, I can do it myself."
In the end, Zhang Hongmei couldn't resist Zhang Shouyi's insistence and let him take advantage of her before things were finally neat and tidy.
Zhang Shouyi sat in the bathtub, feeling relaxed all over. It was much better than drinking water.
I stayed there for an hour before coming out. My wife was already gone from the bedroom.
Zhang Hongmei chatted with the two or three elderly people in the living room.
Zhang Xingguo was still excited and kept muttering to himself.
Zhang Shouyi came in and sat down next to Zhang Hongmei. "Wife, it's time for you to eat."
"Hmm, I'm a little hungry too, but I don't want to eat bird's nest today. I want to eat an egg pancake."
When Aunt Li heard that Zhang Hongmei wanted something to eat, she immediately went into the kitchen to prepare it with a smile.
"Hongmei, you need to eat more. You're eating for one person, but four people are eating to make up for it!"
"Dad, don't worry, I'm perfectly healthy, and I know that."
"Grandma, would you like something to eat?"
The old lady shook her head. "I won't eat. I never eat anything other than a proper meal. You eat."
After she finished eating, Zhang Shouyi carefully helped her wipe her hands clean.
"I wonder if my third uncle and the others have gotten off the bus yet?"
"Xiao Shun went with the two of them, but the train is always late."
"Grandpa, when is Er Ya going to the research institute?"
"She can go whenever she wants."
"Hehe, that would be after her senior year classes."
I forgot to ask, how many days of leave did she take for her wedding?
"She has school tomorrow and a holiday for May Day, so she didn't ask for leave."
"Yes, that's just how my sister Er Ya is."
The group chatted in the living room while Zhang Shouyi helped Zhang Hongmei crack walnuts. These were brought from their hometown, and Zhang Hongmei ate a few every day, saying they would be good for their child's hair in the future.
"Brother Zhang, I'm not eating anymore, it's too greasy. I've already eaten five today."
"Just eat this last one."
Wang Ying and Zeng Zhongkang entered the living room. This made things even more lively.
Er Ya and Cheng Guangxiu waited at the train station, but no one came.
"Er Ya, don't worry, your parents are with the child, so they might not be coming down too early."
"Yes, I understand."
"It must be this car. We just need to wait."
The two stood at the exit, watching the crowds coming and going, but none of them were the person they were looking for.
In the end, only a few scattered people remained, and the train announcement sounded. Even Cheng Guangxu was starting to get anxious.
"Er Ya, shall we go check the car?"
"Well, whether we find it or not, let's get together here."
"good!"
The two hurried toward the train.
"Er Ya, look, Mom and Dad are getting off the bus over there."
Liu Maocai also saw the two of them, and Er Ya quickly ran over.
Liu Maocai was carrying several packages, while Li Cuihua looked unwell and was holding the child beside him.
Er Ya ran to Li Cuihua and took the child from her. "Mom, how are you? Why do you look so pale?"
"It's okay, it's okay. I've been sitting in the car for several days and I'm not feeling well. Don't worry about me."
"Dad, give me the luggage, and you help Mom."
Liu Maocai didn't stand on ceremony and handed all the luggage to Cheng Guangxu.
"Guangxu, Mom is fine."
"It's good that you're alright. Let's go home and get some rest. The car is right outside, Dad, let's go now."
Wang Xiaoshun saw them approaching from afar and quickly got out of the car.
"Uncle, Aunt, hurry up and get in the car. You must be tired from the journey."
