Zhao Dafa held her hand and sighed, "In the blink of an eye, we are all old."

Shen Hongmei said with a smile: "That's right, in two years, Xiaoyun should be getting married."

Zhao Yun laughed, "Then I am preparing to become a grandfather, right?"

"Who knows? Maybe we won't be able to wait for two years. Xiaoyun has been dating that girl named Ren for the past two years. They might make you a grandfather in a moment of impulse."

Shen Hongmei was joking, but Zhao Dafa couldn't laugh. "No, that won't work. The girl is still in school. I have to warn him when I have time. If he dares to do anything to harm her, I'll break his legs."

Shen Hongmei's smile faded, and her heart felt slightly bitter.

If she had had such a sensible and wise elder by her side to advise her back then, she would not have made such mistakes and wasted so many years.

But then she thought again, if she hadn't been with Ma Chao, she might have married another man long ago and wouldn't have the life she has now.

Everything in this world has its destiny.

You can't change the past, nor can you predict the future, so you can only cherish the present.

The nanny brought Zhao Yihuan, who had just woken up and was crying, over and said, "Madam, Miss Huanhuan is making a lot of noise."

"Give it to me."

As soon as she fell into her mother's arms, Zhao Yihuan, who had just cried with a red face, stopped crying instantly. Her wet eyelashes fluttered, and she called Shen Hongmei "Mom", then turned her little head to call Zhao Dafa "Dad", looking so soft and cute.

Zhao Dafa smiled and pinched his daughter's paw, which was whiter and more tender than tofu, and teased her, "You cry when you can't see your mother. You might as well change your name to Little Crybaby."

Shen Hongmei touched her daughter's forehead with the back of her hand while explaining to Zhao Dafa: "She has had a low-grade fever these past two days, so it's inevitable that she's a little delicate."

"Didn't you go to the hospital to get some medicine? Your fever hasn't subsided yet? Why don't we go to another hospital?"

"She should be fine. Bring me the thermometer so I can take her temperature."

"good."

The thermometer was a little cold, and Zhao Yihan resisted and refused to let Shen Hongmei put it in his armpit.

Seeing this, Zhao Dafa took the thermometer, covered it with his palm until it was warm before handing it back to Shen Hongmei. He then took his daughter and held her in his arms and teased her.

While her daughter was distracted by Zhao Dafa, Shen Hongmei successfully placed the thermometer under her daughter's armpit.

"Huanhuan, be good, come on, Daddy will take you to see the big goldfish."

Zhao Dafa held his daughter's arm tightly to prevent the thermometer from falling out, and walked towards the fish tank.

"Look at this one. It's wagging its tail. Is it saying hello to us?"

"Ah, fish, fish, fish!"

Looking at the warm backs of the father and daughter interacting, Shen Hongmei couldn't help but smile knowingly.

Every day since she gave birth to her daughter, she felt that she was living in happiness and was sincerely grateful to Shen Mingzhu.

Without Shen Mingzhu, she wouldn't have everything she has now.

…

The nanny took a day off today. Shen Chaobei finally coaxed his son to sleep. He looked up at the time and found that it was already half past ten.

At this time, his wife Du Juan has not returned home yet.

Just when I was about to call and ask if I should drive over to pick her up, the landline at home rang.

It was Du Juan's assistant Mai Qiu who called, "Brother Shen, please come downstairs to pick up Ms. Du. She's drunk and I can't get her up."

When I got downstairs, I saw Du Juan sitting on the marble pier in front of the apartment building, staggering with the support of Mai Qiu, and she was obviously very drunk.

"Why are you drinking like this again?"

Shen Chaobei complained while squatting in front of the stone pier.

Although Du Juan was drunk, she was not completely unconscious. When she saw Shen Chaobei squatting down, she spread her arms and lay on his back, mumbling to Mai Qiu:

"My husband is here to pick me up. You can go back now. You've had a hard day today."

"Okay, Mr. Du, you should go to bed early."

As he spoke, Mai Qiu hung the purse in his hand on Du Juan's wrist, then diligently opened the security door of the apartment building for Shen Chaobei. He watched the couple go upstairs before turning around and leaving.

After returning home, in order not to disturb the two children, Shen Chaobei carried Du Juan directly into the bedroom, put her on the bed, and took off her high heels and coat for her.

After all the busy work, I was sweating profusely.

He didn't even have time to rest. He went to the bathroom, got half a basin of hot water, and washed off Du Juan's makeup.

After all this, Du Juan was much more sober. She sat up from the bed and said she wanted to eat.

Shen Chaobei had no choice but to go to the kitchen and cook a bowl of egg noodles.

"Does your body want to drink so much every day?"

Listening to her husband's complaints, Du Juan swallowed the noodles in her mouth and said lightly, "I didn't drink these few meals for nothing. Deputy Director Hou promised to bring the Rosen inspection team to visit the factory in two days. As long as we can get Rosen's investment, the scale of our factory can at least double, and even IPO listing is not impossible."

Although Du Juan's tone was understated, her expression and eyes could not hide her pride.

Both publicly and privately, Shen Chaobei naturally hoped that the factory would get better and better, and all his complaints turned into heartache and understanding.

"Then you should also take care of your health. If your health is broken, what's the point of making more money?"

"I know what's going on."

Du Juan took a mouthful of noodles, looked at him and said, "Although the food factory was founded by my younger sister, it is also my career and dream. I must make it bigger and stronger and make it the first local listed food company in Fengcheng."

Faced with his wife's strong and passionate career ambition, Shen Chaobei had no choice but to support her.

…

In the kitchen.

Just as Shen Mingzhu put the dishes on the plate, Chen Xiaochao poked her round head in from outside the kitchen door: "Aunt, it smells so good, what are we having for dinner tonight?"

Shen Mingzhu turned around and told the name of the dish, then asked, "Is your mother going to work overtime again tonight?"

Chen Xiaolu walked into the kitchen from behind her brother, and while she was sensible, she helped Shen Mingzhu serve the dishes while answering Shen Mingzhu's question: "My mom said that she still has to be busy for several days, so she asked us to come to my aunt's house for dinner these days. Does my aunt think we are annoying?"

The nanny hired by Pei Wenping broke her foot some time ago and needs to rest for half a month. Pei Wenping was too lazy to hire a new nanny and planned to take care of it herself for half a month. However, her workload increased suddenly this week and she couldn't take care of it, so she had to let the twins come to Shen Mingzhu's house for meals.

Shen Mingzhu patted Chen Xiaolu's head in amusement, "What nonsense are you talking about? With the two of you, the house will be more lively. Bring the dishes and wash your hands to prepare for dinner."

"Um."

Although she had no objection to the twins coming home for dinner, Shen Mingzhu couldn't help feeling confused and worried about Pei Wenping working overtime every day.

The food factory has been running for so many years, and except for a few days of busy accounting at the end of the year, there is rarely any overtime. (End of this chapter)
