"Mom." A muffled voice came from under the towel.
"Mommy is here, dear baby, wipe your face gently." She took away the towel to prevent her son from hurting himself; a hot towel can easily make it difficult to breathe if it is kept for too long.
Without the obstruction, Li Ming opened his eyes and stared at his mother for a while; grinning foolishly, the chubby and cute baby's silly smile was really adorable.
Li Ming happily threw away the towel and rubbed against her arms, "I love you, mommy."
"Okay, baby loves mom, and mom loves babies too." She picked up the towel and handed it to Yan Rushan.
Yan Rushan put three towels into the basin together. He had already wiped the faces of the other two children. Compared with Li Ming who was acting coquettishly and playing with his mother, Li Zhen and Li Ji were much more honest.
Zhong Yuxiu stayed with the children, coaxed them to sleep, and then put them in their room. She covered them with a quilt and quietly left the bedroom with Yan Rushan.
"Wife, let's take a break."
"Well, it's time for a nap."
The couple walked upstairs together in tacit understanding, returned to their room, lay down, relaxed their minds, and fell asleep naturally. When they woke up, it was already evening, and another day had passed.
The days passed in an orderly manner. She didn't get to go out and play during the holidays, and she didn't finish the things she wanted to do. Zhong Yuxiu felt quite regretful, but the holiday was over and she had to return to work.
Yan Rushan relaxed for a few months, and as soon as his wife left, he returned to building the company; each branch was on the right track, and the installation of defense doors was also going well. He was already planning to open branches in other provinces, striving to make the company bigger and stronger and seize the market.
It was not easy to realize his idea, but he had a plan; he started with a three-year plan and a five-year plan, and with the assistance of several brothers, he soon began to implement it in several major provinces around Shangjing.
Zhong Yuxiu, however, had been thinking about a promise she'd made: a matchmaking outing. She invited colleagues from BGI, the Medical University, and even those she'd met at work, asking them to invite their good, outstanding female colleagues to her home. The guise? Naturally, they were inviting their friends to a trip to Hongxing Village, where they'd also take them to Yan Rushan's farm.
Everyone, married and unmarried, invited friends to come along. The more people there were, the more lively it became; Red Star Village itself was bustling with activity. Today's Red Star Village is no longer the same as it was just a few months ago. Its roads are paved with cement, its fields are lush with crops, and its children have a designated place to study. Every child in the village has access to education. Compared to other villages, it's truly a great place.
Zhong Yuxiu specially gave herself this day off, and Yan Guofeng and Yan Rushan would naturally be present; as well as her three children.
"Grandpa Yan, Uncle Yan, Aunt Zhong, you're back." On Sunday, Nie Xi had a day off and was playing with the children in the village. When he saw the car entering the village, he hurried over.
She was not unfamiliar with this car. Probably only the Yan family could drive in and out of the village; the appearance of this car had left a deep impression on most people.
Zhong Yuxiu opened the car door and got out, "Nie Xi."
"Aunt Zhong." Nie Xi stopped in front of her, looked up and smiled, "Aunt Zhong, where are my brothers?"
"My brothers are in the car. Aunt Zhong has invited some friends to come for an outing today. There will be a lot of people coming, so you should say hello to your friends. You can go to the mountain to play with us, but you can't run around. You need to get your family's consent first." Since they are here now, there is no way they won't go up the mountain.
Once they go up the mountain, with so many people, it is impossible for the children not to want to follow; just in case, they still have to get the necessary vaccinations.
Nie Xi nodded, "I'll tell them first and come over to see my brothers later."
"Okay, Auntie thanks our Nie Xi."
After watching Nie Xi walk away, Zhong Yuxiu walked forward a few steps and helped the old man take over the three children; Yan Rushan got out of the car, climbed onto the roof and took down the stroller, and Zhong Yuxiu put the children one by one into the stroller.
The stroller is quite wide, but it is a bit crowded for three children.
"Don't Nie Xi and the others have school today?" Yan Guofeng got out of the car from the other side and asked.
Zhong Yuxiu said, "Today is Sunday, and Nie Xi and the others are on holiday. I can invite everyone over because it's a holiday."
We are all working people and don’t have much time to meet up, so it’s great to be able to invite them over to play; if it’s not a holiday, they won’t be able to come out whenever they want.
Yan Guofeng suddenly realized and slapped his forehead, "Yes, today is Sunday. Look at my memory."
Life is so leisurely that I even forget about the days.
Yan Rushan said, "Grandpa, you and Comrade Gu go home first and take the children with you. We'll wait here for the others. Oh, Comrade Gu Lingguo."
"Comrade Yan." Gu Lingguo was getting out of the driver's seat.
Fang Guozhong got out from the passenger seat.
"Comrade Gu, when you go back to pick up Comrade Wang and the others, remember to go to the market to buy meat and vegetables. There are so many people here today, so we have to handle it properly. Time is a bit tight, and I'm sorry for the hard work." After a pause, he said, "If you really can't handle it, you can ask for help from the village."
Gu Lingguo nodded in agreement, "Okay, then I'll go back to pick them up first, and take Comrade Wang and the other two to pick out the ingredients."
Gu Lingguo sat back in the driver's seat and backed away. Fang Guozhong and Yan Guofeng pushed the children towards home. Zhong Yuxiu and Yan Rushan stayed where they were and waited for more than half an hour before five cars came.
The people driving the cars were Lin Kai, Cao Zheng and others. Each car could seat four people. Not counting Cao Zheng and the other five people, a total of eighteen people got out of the five cars.
"Yuxiu." Zhong Yuan rushed towards her as soon as she got out of the car, hugging her tightly and refusing to let go. "Yuxiu, you finally contacted me. Think about how long it's been since you last contacted me. How long has it been since we last met? You're such a busy person, I didn't expect you would still remember me."
Zhong Yuxiu hugged her back and said, "I have to balance my family and career. I really can't do it in two parts. I encountered some problems a while ago. Now that I'm free, I asked you guys to come out and play."
"Yuxiu, are you okay?" As a friend, Zhong Yuan knew a little about Zhong Yuxiu. She was truly talented; not only was she a top student at the Medical University, but she was also an outstanding talent at Huazhong University. "I know you're very busy, so I won't say much else. Just be sure to take care of yourself."
"Yuanyuan, thank you for your concern, I'm fine." He patted her shoulder.
Zhong Yuan then let her go and turned to look at Yan Rushan, "Your husband is still so handsome, he seems more mature and attractive."
Zhong Yuxiu looked up at him and smiled, "He has always been attractive."
