After feeding the children their complementary food, they called the waiter to pay the bill and the family walked out of the restaurant.
As she left the restaurant, the cool breeze blew over her. She felt a little regretful. She'd actually retorted to the woman's gossip. This wasn't like her style. She looked up at Yan Rushan. Could it be that she really cared about him? Did she not want to hear anyone say she wasn't good enough for him?
"What's wrong?" Yan Rushan asked softly.
Zhong Yuxiu shook her head and sighed, "I was impulsive just now and shouldn't have said those words; there's nothing wrong with what she said. There's indeed a big difference in appearance between you and me." If she hadn't been attracted to his looks back then, maybe she would still be able to keep her composure until now, and there would have been no way for the triplets.
Yan Rushan raised his hand and put his arm around her shoulders, slowing down his pace and creating some distance between him and the others. He lowered his head and chuckled, "I'm glad you care about me, but let's not argue with her. You're the most beautiful in my eyes. As long as you're here, I can't see anyone else."
"If not, would I marry you?" She still had some confidence. Zhong Yuxiu couldn't help but think that if Yan Rushan hadn't been strong enough in his will, they would not have been destined to be together.
"Yes, yes, my wife is right. It shows that I have behaved well. When we go back this time, should we put the wedding banquet on the agenda? Although we have obtained the marriage certificate, it is a bit unreasonable not to have a wedding banquet." Yan Rushan lowered his head and coaxed softly, "Does my wife plan to disclose my identity?"
Zhong Yuxiu looked up at him, somewhat reluctant to hold a wedding banquet. "There's no need to go through so much trouble, is there? We've been married for so many years, everyone who should know already knows. You've already been labeled Zhong Yuxiu, and there's no way to get away from it. Isn't the purpose of holding a wedding banquet to announce that we're married? Now that everyone knows, a wedding banquet is no longer necessary."
"That won't work. Other women have a wedding process. We didn't have a wedding banquet back then, so we have to make up for it now. Not only that, but we have to make it grand. We have to invite our classmates, teachers, and friends. There are also many people on grandpa's side who want to meet you." The old man has accumulated a huge network of contacts over the years.
Those people wanted to know her simply because they wanted to understand her as a person; those who were not familiar with the old man had never seen Zhong Yuxiu in person, and they wanted to know her simply because they had heard that the eldest grandson of the Yan family, Yan Guofeng's eldest grandson, married a researcher.
"Can we not have a drink?"
"No, grandpa asked me about this last time. Let's just have a wedding. Find a hotel and don't worry about it. Just leave everything to me. On the day, put on your suit and give a speech and a toast with me." Yan Rushan took charge of everything.
Zhong Yuxiu looked up at him and nodded reluctantly, "Okay then, we should go to Hua University to get our diplomas when we get back this time."
"Yes." Yan Rushan squeezed his wife's hand and smiled happily. "You can do research if you want in the future. You can live your life as usual. The children will grow up slowly. When they turn four, we will send them to the kindergarten next to the military compound."
"We have to participate in the growth of children." She had thought about this a long time ago. Now that the children are still smiling, she can do research peacefully for a few years; when the children are older, she will try to reduce the number of times she goes to the laboratory and spend more time with the children.
There is a huge psychological difference between children with and without parents. She remembered that in her first life, before she was about to travel through time, she was also an unloved child who didn't know who her parents were. There was a lot of competition in the orphanage, and it took a lot of effort to get enough food.
When she grew up, she still felt regretful.
She didn't want her children to go through what she had gone through. Her sons were so good; she couldn't bear to do that.
"I'll listen to you. As long as you're at home, I'll assign the work to someone else and come back to be with you and the kids." He had made arrangements for future work, the company was on the right track, the confidants he had trained were already able to stand on their own, and with his brothers taking care of things, he felt a little more relaxed.
In a large company, it is difficult for the boss to do everything himself; in order to reduce the workload, he has to take control of the overall situation and leave the implementation to the people below.
The couple was talking in the back, and the old man in front had already led his people to the entrance of the alley; but when they got here, they didn't know which direction to go.
Yan Guofeng turned around and looked at his eldest grandson and his wife. "You can talk, but Rushan is leading the way. We can't find a place to rent."
"Here we are, Grandpa." Yan Rushan took his wife's hand and walked forward, "Grandpa, let's go."
Yan Guofeng shook his head helplessly. Gu Lingguo and Fang Guozhong walked to the side of the two men and followed them not far away; Wang Daya, Gong Zhaodi, and Feng Zheng walked with the old man.
Yan Rushan led his men to the rented house. The gate of the yard was very imposing, the only drawback was that it was a bit shabby.
"Grandpa, this is it. I've seen the location and I think it's pretty good. There's a large open area in front, and you can buy meat and vegetables and daily necessities not far to the right. It's not the most convenient location in the provincial capital, but it's quiet. It should be nice to live here for a few days. What do you think?"
Yan Guofeng took a look around the courtyard. "It's not bad. This must have been an official's residence. Although there's no clear symbol, look at those horizontal beams above the gate. They must have had certain specifications in ancient times."
"As long as you are satisfied." Yan Rushan had no knowledge of this area, and could only say that he chose to rent this place because of his good impression.
He took out the key, took his wife to the door, and handed the key to her, "Wife, you open it."
"Okay." After taking the key, Zhong Yuxiu successfully unlocked the gate. She turned back to look at the old man and said, "Grandpa, please go in first."
Yan Guofeng walked up to her with a smile and said, "It's all the same, let's go in together."
"Then let's go together."
The three of them walked side by side, Yan Guofeng holding Li Ji's great-grandson in his arms. Entering the courtyard, the furnishings were somewhat run-down, but Yan Guofeng was quite satisfied. This place had been the home of a high-ranking official, and as it was an old family residence, it must be a prime location for feng shui.
In ancient times, all places that could be used as ancestral homes were considered to be Feng Shui treasure lands.
The most important thing is that the wood used for the tables, chairs and stools here is of very good quality, which is not noticeable to those who don’t know much about the industry. But he could see that they were all made of pearwood, and although the paint was severely peeling, it did not affect their value.
"The yard is nice." Yan Guofeng nodded with satisfaction and started praising it.
"The yard is quite clean. We can just buy some quilts and mattresses and move in." Grandpa was satisfied. Yan Rushan lowered his head to look at his wife, wondering if she liked it. "Yuxiu, what do you think?"
Zhong Yuxiu nodded slightly. "Of course it's good, but isn't this place for sale? I think it's a good buy. It would be great if we could give the furniture as well. We can add a little money and repaint it. Their value will go up immediately."
