"Sister-in-law, congratulations!" Hu Peizhen said with a smile to Han Zijing.
"Hehe, Pengfei and I didn't notice it until one time I felt unwell and went to the hospital, and that's when we found out I was pregnant."
“It’s just that you two are too young. You two keep making dumplings, I’ll go call Hongmei and ask her to prepare a nanny.” Li Cuihua put down the dumplings she was making and went to the living room.
Shi Tou helped dial Hong Mei's number.
"Hongmei, please find me a nanny who can take care of pregnant women and babies. Zijing is three months pregnant, and I'm too old to go with her."
"Third Aunt, don't worry, we'll definitely find them the best. When is Pengfei leaving?"
"They'll be going back the day after tomorrow."
"Okay, I'll have Ganlu send her over tomorrow. Don't worry, there won't be any problems. Back then, Sanya was also taken care of by a nanny."
"Yes, that's what Sanya said too. I'm relieved as long as someone takes care of Zijing."
Li Cuihua hung up the phone with satisfaction, no longer having to worry about it.
The men in the living room all knew the news, and Liu Jianguo was the happiest, as he was about to become a grandfather, which was a wonderful thing.
Looking at her thirteen-year-old second son, she felt quite lucky in this life. Hongmei had also helped her turn her life around, and he would definitely be much more successful than her in the future, with so many older brothers to take care of him. She could just focus on taking good care of her daughter.
Liu Maocai was also very happy, as he now had great-grandchildren.
The whole family gathered for dinner that evening. Since it was dumplings, there were no stir-fried dishes; it was all cold dishes and seafood.
After dinner, the family stayed for a while before going back to rest. Even though they hadn't done any work, they were all mentally exhausted.
Today is the newlyweds' wedding night, and Ping An feels relieved. However, his wife is not cooperating and refuses to cooperate after three attempts.
"Ping An, you have to go back to your parents' home tomorrow, so just calm down."
Only then did Ping An reluctantly fall asleep holding his wife.
The next morning, after they got up, everyone in the family sat in the living room, and Er Ya had prepared the return gifts. These days, the traditional return gifts are no longer given, so Er Ya simply prepared tonics and seafood.
After breakfast, the two drove back to the Hu family home.
This homecoming visit was very simple. It was just a meal for the four of them.
"Ping An, please don't mind, we don't have any relatives. This family banquet is really too meager."
"Grandpa, I won't overthink it. Don't worry. There are advantages to having fewer relatives."
"You have to go to work tomorrow, right?"
"Well, my third brother and Chongyu are too tired, so I still have to go back."
"Ping An, you go to work tomorrow, I'll stay home with the elderly, and I'll go back to school the day after tomorrow, okay?"
"Sure, it's your decision."
Hu Jinlong was pleased to see the young couple discussing things amicably.
In the afternoon, Ping An helped Hu Peizhen tidy up her bedroom. There were many items and books that she needed to take back, since she would need them for school.
The next day, Ping An took more than ten kilograms of wedding candy to work, while Hu Peizhen stayed at home with the elderly.
Liu Jianguo, Shi Tou, and Peng Fei all went back today.
After lunch, Cheng Guangxu and Song Zigan's assistant drove the three families to the station.
Li Cuihua was quite unaccustomed to the sudden loss of so many people in the family, but fortunately Chenxi stayed.
The stones and willow catkins symbolized that the children should go directly up the mountain, and Zhang Hongmei had no objection, only that the old lady was a little reluctant to let them go.
It was Xiao Li who came to pick up Chenxi in person. Li Cuihua had prepared a lot of things for him. Xiao Li checked them all and said, "Third Aunt, these can't be brought. You can just prepare clothes for him."
Er Lengzi and Su Chen, a married couple, discussed things with Zhang Hongmei at Fuzeyuan.
“Hongmei, Liu Qiang will be twenty-one years old next year, and he will be a senior in college next year. You should hurry up and introduce him to someone. You make the decision, and neither of us will have any objections.”
"Yes, I understand. Zhang Shouyi said that Liu Qiang's wife needs his approval, and I don't have anyone in mind yet."
"Okay, it's up to you two to decide."
“I know there are quite a few people of that age, at least Chongyu should be preparing. And Qingyang and Zhiyu will be back next year, so we don’t need to worry about Qihong anymore, he’s dating the daughter of Zhuzi’s colleague. The rest can wait a few years.”
"Please take care of it. We're leaving this afternoon."
"So eager?"
"The three of us will take turns driving. Okay, you guys chat, I'm going to find Ruifeng."
After Er Lengzi left, only Su Chen and Zhang Hongmei remained.
Su Chen talked about his life in the military region.
"If my brother does anything wrong, don't pay him any attention. Pack your things and come back, and I'll teach him a lesson."
"Hehe, no way. After so many years of marriage, how could I not know him? I trust him completely."
"Just keep things in mind, but don't be too careless."
"Where is your brother in this world? We have no chance to even meet him."
"Su Chen, have you been happy all these years?"
Su Chen paused for a moment, then smiled and nodded, "Your brother and I don't have the kind of love that your brother's boss has, but we can't live without each other now."
Hearing Su Chen's words, Zhang Hongmei felt a pang of emotion. Even after being an old married couple, their kinship was unbreakable.
“Hongmei, Liu Qiang, you must put in a lot of effort. This boy is honest, just find him an ordinary wife.”
"Su Chen, you're overthinking it. His wife has to be approved by Zhang Shouyi. Among these kids, he only likes Ping An, Liu Qiang, and Chaoyang."
After I find someone, I still need his approval.
"Yes, I trust your judgment."
What exactly happened to Sister Jing?
“It was because I had a conflict with Zhang Shouyi. I was not satisfied with her performance at the time, so I asked her to help Wang Ying. But later she went up the mountain and directly trained my subordinates. She has been with you the longest and knows what kind of people I need. So the people she trained are very good for me. I didn’t call her back. She told me that she also likes life on the mountain.”
"Sister Jing is getting old."
"Yes, I'm over forty, and she's seventeen years older than me, almost sixty."
