Zhang Hongmei forced down a bowl of soup. "Aunt Yang, from now on I'll only have three meals a day. I really can't eat five meals a day."
No one objected, mainly because watching Zhang Hongmei eat made them feel uncomfortable, so they decided to just have three meals a day.
"Wang Ying, Aunt Wang and her family of three can arrive in Q City the day after tomorrow."
"Aunt Wang is back from the US?"
"Yes, they called yesterday and said they had arrived in G City; the troops stationed there sent them over."
"The day after tomorrow? I'll arrange a time and I'll pick you up."
"Then you can go with Brother Shun. He also needs to drive a truck, and those ten international students are back too."
“Okay, we’ll go in two cars, and I’ll take Aunt Wang and her family.”
"You can arrange it yourself."
"Grandma, can my uncle help me out?" Since Liu Aimin hasn't gone back for the past few years, and he's in his prime, it's not a good idea for him to just stay there all the time.
"What do you want your uncle to do?"
"You can help me supervise the construction team, or my uncle can directly set up a construction team."
What do you want to do?
"I want to start a real estate company, where I build houses and sell them."
"Hehe, let's go talk to your uncle. He should be very willing. He's the one who oversaw all the buildings in our village."
"Hehe, that's great! Let my uncle set up a construction team directly, then it'll all be ours. We won't need to hire outsiders."
"You just can't sit still."
"But I can't always revolve around my child, can I? I'm only eighteen."
Everyone in the room fell silent. It was true; even with a child, someone like Zhang Hongmei couldn't just focus on the child.
The four children didn't wake up either; it was almost time for them to be fed.
"Aunt Yang, don't worry about them. I just gave them water. Let's just wait for them to wake up from their hunger."
Hu Aifen helped the old lady and her mother-in-law, and the three of them went to rest. Er Ya and Wang Ying went to the guest room. Only Aunt Yang and Aunt Chen stayed behind.
Zhang Hongmei lay on the bed and fell asleep shortly afterward.
She was woken up by the children. Still groggy, she sat up and fed the baby.
"Madam, I think the babies are much stronger today. Look, the eldest has even opened his eyes."
Zhang Hongmei just smiled; there was no way to answer that question. After feeding the four children, they all opened their eyes.
They washed their bottoms again. Hu Aifen and Liu Changhe's family had already arrived. When they heard that the big leader wanted to see the child, the four of them picked up the child and took him to the living room.
None of the four children are asleep yet, and the other three have opened their eyes. Although their eyes are not very flexible yet, they can still move their eyeballs to hear sounds.
Four elderly people lined up to look after the children, and Zhou Shixiong got to the front of the third child. Tears streamed down his face.
"Shouyi, Lao San's eyes look just like my aunt's, really. Chang'en, show the photo to your boss, quickly."
Zhang Shouyi put down the documents in his hand, took the photo, glanced at it, and realized it really did look just as Zhou Shixiong had said. The third son looked remarkably like that Empress.
Zhou Shixiong was extremely excited. However, he didn't make any further unreasonable demands. He already knew the Zhang family's bottom line. The child was still too young, and he would have plenty of opportunities to get close to him in the future. He was confident he could win him over.
The children were carried inside. Zhou Shixiong sat on the sofa, looking pitifully at Zhang Shouyi.
"Shouyi, can I come to see the child every day from now on?"
"Sure. You can come every day, but you absolutely must not say anything to Hongmei."
"I promise." Zhou Shixiong breathed a sigh of relief after getting the answer he wanted.
"Boss, you should go back and rest, otherwise you won't have any energy this afternoon," Li Chang'en hurriedly advised, urging them to go back. They were all afraid their lord would lose his temper.
Gu Chuanming and Zhang Xingguo both saw the photos. But seeing them was one thing; taking their grandson away was another.
A short while later, Liu Changhe and his family also went back. The two elderly people also went back to their neighbor's house.
Did Zhang Shouyi put down the documents and go to be with his wife?
"Brother Zhang, have the names for the three children still not been decided? Grandpa and Dad haven't reached an agreement yet?"
"No, neither of them can convince the other. You should choose for yourself tomorrow."
"Let's do it together."
"Okay. Honey, let's take a nap. I'm a little sleepy."
The two lay down, but Zhang Hongmei, feeling hot, refused Zhang Shouyi's embrace, so they had no choice but to hold hands and go to sleep.
Meanwhile, little Wang Zining on the boat was also listless. It wasn't seasickness or anything; he was just getting impatient with the unchanging scenery.
"Ningning, are you really going to give up like this? We still have three more days before we reach land. Do you think Annie and Daniel can keep going?"
"Dad, this is so boring."
"It's boring. But you can find your own fun. How about we have your mom teach us to recite poems?"
"Dad, your suggestion is even more boring."
"How could that be? Let's have a race, you and me! See who can carry it faster!"
Wang Zining was casually dragged over by Zhao Tiancheng, and the three of them started playing games together.
Liu Jingze and Song Zigan took turns driving, without stopping for a moment.
When Liu Jingze received a call from his mother informing him that Hongmei had given birth to four boys, he was completely stunned.
I was packing my things in a daze when I finally remembered that I still had Song Zigan.
Everything was basically arranged in Haishi, and even without this incident, the two of them were planning to come back and take a look.
After all, he hadn't been back for almost a year, and he hadn't even had time to pick up Song Zigan's graduation certificate.
"Senior Liu, let me drive."
"It's okay, I can still drive."
"Let me do it. You've been doing it for ten hours already."
Liu Jingze didn't want to rest and couldn't sleep at all; his mind was filled with thoughts of Zhang Hongmei.
Four children, how much suffering did Hongmei endure?
Grandma told me to go back immediately, but I didn't know why. But whatever the reason, I had to go see Hongmei, otherwise I wouldn't feel at ease.
Song Zigan was in no better shape than Liu Jingze. He was shocked to learn that Zhang Hongmei had given birth to four children, which was truly unbelievable.
I really want to go back right now. To see how Zhang Hongmei is doing?
I didn't know the woman was pregnant. But I remember when my father's new wife was pregnant, my father personally came to pick up my grandmother to take care of her.
How distressed Zhang Hongmei must have been! How could that slender girl have four children in her belly?
One can only imagine the suffering she endured at that time.
The two had a great working relationship and were thinking similar things. But now, neither of them knew what to say. They felt that whatever they said would be wrong.
