"They look really good, more like Yuxiu, and their eyebrows and nose are like Comrade Yan." Feng Jianhong smiled and couldn't help but reach out and stroke their faces gently, her movements were gentle for fear of hurting them with her rough hands.
Zhong Jing smiled and nodded in agreement, "That's right! They look very similar. If we take them out in the future, people won't be able to tell who's older."
Multiple births are divided into fraternal and identical. Identical multiples mostly look the same and rarely change as they grow up.
"Exactly." Old Master Yan laughed heartily. "When they grow up a little, you'll be able to tell if they're similar."
Zhong Jing nodded with a smile, agreeing with the old man's words. "You are so lucky, with so many children and grandchildren, four generations living together."
"You are also blessed. You have filial children and grandchildren. You can enjoy your old age in peace. This is better than anything else."
"Who says not? The child's mother and I don't have any big requests. We just hope that when we are too old to move, we will have filial children and grandchildren around us." Zhong Jing chuckled. He also loved the three little ones. He reached out to touch them, then withdrew his hand. "My hands are old and rough. Don't hurt them."
Feng Jianhong raised her hand and looked at it. Thinking of how she had reached out to touch it just now, she smiled awkwardly.
"It's okay. You are the child's grandparents. You love them as much as I, their great-grandfather." He was not afraid that they would hurt the child.
Having said that, Feng Jianhong and Zhong Jing did not reach out again, no matter how much they liked him; but when they saw their three chubby and fair grandchildren, they still resisted the urge.
Yan Rushan said, "You guys continue chatting while I bring some fruit up to Yuxiu."
"Go ahead." The old man waved his hand.
Yan Rushan nodded to the two elders of the Zhong family, got up and went to the kitchen to prepare some hot fruit and brought it upstairs.
"Yuxiu, are you asleep?"
"No." Yuxiu opened her eyes and turned to look at him, "Why are you here?"
Yan Rushan stepped forward and sat down on the edge of the bed, placing the tray in his hand on the bedside table. "Grandpa is downstairs talking to Zhong's parents, so I came up to see you. Now that they're here, have you thought about how to accommodate them?"
"It's up to you to decide."
"Then let's arrange for them to stay at Grandpa's house. What do you think?" Living close by, the compound is safe, and it's convenient to check on them. "They don't have any acquaintances in Beijing. Before, their son and daughter-in-law were here, so it wasn't easy for us to arrange for them to stay at home. Now that they're not here, it's perfect for Zhong's parents to stay at Grandpa's house."
"......." Zhong Yuxiu had no objection to this. "Does grandpa agree to let you live in my house?"
Yan Rushan said, "Grandpa will agree. No one lives there, so it would be nice if someone could move in and enjoy the local life."
"That's fine." Zhong Yuxiu glanced at him with a nonchalant nod. "Zhong Jiaquan only works on construction sites back home. He doesn't get much salary each month, and it's hard and tiring. I'm thinking of arranging for him to come to Beijing and find him a job, whether it's driving or something else."
"Sure, the transportation company needs help, so adding someone isn't a problem." He agreed immediately, adding, "I've discussed this with them, and they seem quite interested."
Zhong Yuxiu sighed softly, "If I hadn't seen how difficult their lives were, I wouldn't have asked for this."
"It's good to pull them together. They're closer to you, so it'll be more convenient for everyone to get around." Yan Rushan chuckled, raised his hand to ruffle the black hair on her head, and smiled deeply. "Don't worry, I'll make arrangements. If he doesn't want to go to the transportation company and wants to learn a craft or study, I can also make arrangements. It all depends on what he is willing to do."
The one he is referring to is Zhong Jiaquan.
"This is the only way. Find some time to send a telegram to the Zhong family. Ask the entire Zhong family to come over and discuss it. But Bai Lian..." She didn't like this. She had too many little thoughts, loved to calculate, was narrow-minded, and had a mean mouth.
Yan Rushan said to her gently and dotingly, "Don't worry, just don't let her into the compound. She's just Zhong Jiaquan's wife, and has nothing to do with you. If you like her, you can interact with her more. If you don't like her, just leave her alone. You should do the same with others."
The Yan family has this ability, so he is not afraid of offending people.
Yuxiu's heart was warmed. She had once heard a saying: If you marry a capable man, you will be welcomed by everyone you go, and everything will be arranged for you wherever you go. If you marry an incompetent man, you will have to take taxis, carry bags, and read people's faces, and you will suffer a lot of grievances.
She suddenly understood this truth now.
......
Afternoon.
Yan Rushan went out and sent a telegram to Zhong Jiaquan, which was signed by Zhong Jing. It only asked the Zhong family to rush to Shangjing as soon as possible, and said nothing else.
It was two days later when Zhong Jiaquan received the telegram. The distance was too far, so there would always be some delay in delivering the letter.
After receiving the telegram, Zhong Jiaquan was worried about his parents' life in Beijing, so he packed up and rushed to Beijing that day. He didn't even take Bai Lian with him and left her to look after the house.
Four days later, Zhong Jiaquan got off the train, found the compound, and after reporting, he was taken to Zhong Yuxiu's home.
As soon as he entered the hall, Feng Jianhong hurried forward and pulled him, "Jiaquan, you're finally here. Where's your wife?"
"Bai Lian is watching the house. Mom, what's the matter that you telegraphed me to come here?"
"Something's going on, and it's a good thing." Feng Jianhong held his hand, her expression expectant. "Yuxiu and Comrade Yan know that your income back home isn't high, so they've come to discuss whether you'd be willing to come to Beijing to work. We didn't want to agree, but you know your sister didn't grow up with us. We missed out on more than 20 years, and your father and I have always wanted to make it up to her. If we could be closer, we could see her more often."
"But..." Zhong Jiaquan suddenly felt inferior.
Zhong Jing said in the hall, "Come and sit down. Comrade Yan is here. Let's discuss this."
Zhong Jiaquan clenched the bag in his hand and was pulled by Feng Jianhong to sit on the sofa.
"Comrade Yan, I'm sorry to trouble you."
"It's okay. There's no such thing as a bother or not. The Zhong family's parents came all the way here to visit Yuxiu and the child, and I think it's too much trouble for them." Yan Rushan was not ignorant of the ways of the world, and he guessed Zhong Jiaquan's thoughts almost exactly. "Yuxiu and I were the ones who brought this up."
The Zhong family looked at their parents helplessly.
The Zhong family's parents nodded, and the Zhong family breathed a sigh of relief. "It's good that it's not what Mom and Dad asked. Yuxiu is living well in your family, which is better than anything else. Forget about this matter. I have no education and no skills. I can't do anything in Shangjing. At least I can have enough food and clothes in the village, and I won't have to leave my hometown."
After all, I have no money, no confidence, and I am restricted in what I do.
"Yuxiu and I have long suspected your intentions, so you can rest assured. Yuxiu and I can lend you three thousand yuan to rent a yard. If you want to study, I can enroll you in night school. If you want to work, I can also find you a job. If you don't want to work or study, you can try self-employment, that is, starting a business."
