Liu Xiuling arrived in the capital. After Liang Dan got out of the car, she asked Chengzi to take Liu Xiuling home directly.
When Liu Changhe's family saw their eldest granddaughter, their eyes were filled with tears. Holding her hand, they said, "It's good that you're back. It's not a big deal. You still have us."
Since the divorce, everyone in my family has had some complaints about me. Although I know they feel sorry for me, I still feel bad.
Grandma was alone; she didn't mention the past, she just felt sorry for herself.
"Grandma, I'm fine. It's all over now. I'm still so young. I can find a job and support myself."
"Yes, that's how we should think. It's alright, there are many reputable doctors in the capital. We can find a doctor to see, and we'll definitely be cured."
Liu Xiuling is still bothered by her inability to have children. If it could be cured, she would be able to have children.
"Grandma, I will definitely cooperate with the doctor and get proper treatment. I also want to have my own child."
Yes, yes.
Liu Changhe's family made dumplings for their granddaughter that evening, and the three of them enjoyed them very much.
Liang Dan and Gan Lu returned to report on their work.
"Very good, Ganlu's performance is excellent. I transferred you back this time because I feel you are not young anymore. If you have any ideas, you can tell me, or I will help you. You should both be getting married. Also, I plan to set up a computer company in the capital, and you two will take over."
"yes."
"Do you have someone in mind?"
Both of them shook their heads, indicating that they really hadn't paid any attention to this.
"Alright then, if I see anything suitable, you guys can meet them?"
After arranging all these things, Zhang Hongmei returned to the living room.
The old lady sat on the sofa, watching her four children play with building blocks.
"Grandma, aren't you going back to check on things?"
"Tomorrow, I've asked Dr. Sun to go with me to take a look."
"I'll go with you tomorrow. My grandfather and father-in-law are with the children."
Besides, I need to go see Lu Yue; she's about to give birth too.
"Sigh, in three to five years, these kids will be a bunch of mischievous monkeys."
"Yes, there aren't any girls yet, just six boys. If my aunt brings her grandson back, then there will be seven boys."
"There's nothing wrong with having more boys. It's better to have a girl next time, because she'll have older brothers to support her. Girls can be pampered, and being the eldest sister isn't easy."
"That's true. Whether it's the eldest brother or the eldest sister, it's quite a hard job. Just look at Annie; she now considers Daniel her responsibility."
Actually, this is quite good. For families like theirs, this kind of affection is a luxury.
"People, regardless of age, will automatically assume new roles when their roles change. Being the eldest brother or sister is also a responsibility that children take on for themselves."
If you observe Zhenye closely, you'll see that he usually gives way to the other three to some extent.
“I also noticed that I asked my grandfather and father-in-law, and neither of them instilled in the child the idea that he was the older brother and had to take care of his younger brothers.”
"Some children are just born that way. Just teach them little by little."
"Grandma, please don't overthink it."
"What more could I possibly want at my age? I'd be content if I could live a few more days and see my children a little longer. I don't care about anything else."
Zhang Hongmei didn't believe the old lady's words. She was competitive all her life, how could she suddenly let go?
It's already April, and the children have all changed into sweaters and long johns, all knitted by Li Cuihua. The children feel lighter and more agile.
During dinner that evening, she said, "Grandpa, Dad, I'm going back with Great-Grandma tomorrow. I'm leaving the children with you."
"Hongmei, shall we take the children to visit the army base tomorrow?" Gu Chuanming had wanted to do this for a long time, but it would be winter by the time the children could walk. The weather isn't cold now, so it's perfect!
"Grandpa, isn't it too early?"
"What do you mean 'early'? Our child will be training every year after he turns eight."
Zhang Hongmei glanced at the calm Zhang Shouyi. If he had no objection, why should she stop him?
“Okay, let Lu Jing and Su Chen go with them.”
"No need, they have their martial arts instructors."
Zhang Hongmei was conflicted. They were all grown men; could they really take good care of these four little ones?
“They are the child’s great-grandfather and grandfather, what’s there to worry about?” the old lady snorted.
That night, Zhang Hongmei nestled in Zhang Shouyi's arms. "Brother Zhang, are you really at ease?"
"There's nothing to worry about. They have a lot of people around them, and Master Wu is their bodyguard. As for other things, my dad and grandpa will take care of them. They won't go hungry or cold. You'll have to let go gradually."
"But I think they are too small."
"When they are in their seventies or eighties, you still won't think they are old."
Stop thinking about them, just think about me.
Zhang Hongmei slapped him, "What's so great about thinking about you all day?"
"Wife, you're already showing signs of getting tired of me, that won't do. I'll make sure you have something new to experience every day from now on."
Zhang Hongmei could no longer bear it, thinking to herself that this guy was just making excuses for himself, how shameless.
The next day, after Gu Chuanming and Zhang Xingguo finished breakfast, the three cars set off. The four children, knowing they were going out to play, completely ignored their mother.
"Grandma, I feel a pang of sadness."
"That's because you're bored. You need to find something to do. You said you went abroad to study for three years and came back, so you plan to stay at home and take care of the kids from now on?"
"Hmph! That's what you always say. If I didn't have children now, you would be the ones in a hurry."
The president of the Capital University approached me, suggesting that if things didn't work out, I could try teaching; at least I wouldn't have any problems with foreign languages.
You could also offer a computer science major; those are the only two things I'm really good at.
"Go ahead, we'll take care of things at home!" The old lady wanted Zhang Hongmei to go out because she didn't want her to see the children suffering during training. It was better for her to keep busy.
Lu Jing was driving, and she took the two of them to pick up Dr. Sun.
When they got home, only the mother and daughter were left. Liu Changhe was always on time for work. In his words, it wasn't as good as farming, but it was still something to do.
"Mother, you're back. Hongmei, come inside quickly. My daughter and I went out to buy groceries this morning and we just happened to buy some fennel. We'll make pancakes for lunch."
"Grandma!"
The old lady glanced at Liu Xiuling standing to the side. The child no longer looked the same as she had a few years ago. It seemed she had really grown up and learned from her mistakes.
"Yes, it's good that you're back. This is Hongmei, and this is Doctor Sun."
"Big sister, I am Hongmei. We sisters have never met before."
Liu Xiuling saw the incredibly beautiful girl next to her great-grandmother. She felt utterly inadequate in her vocabulary and couldn't find the words to describe her.
