The two arrived home.
As soon as Shen Mingzhi stepped into the yard, Niannian stumbled over and hugged her leg, exclaiming, "Mom, you're finally back!"
The little guy can already speak very fluently.
Although he is still not very steady on his feet.
Zhouzhou was sitting on a chair in the yard, fiddling with a nine-linked ring.
He started playing with it before he could even walk, and he still hasn't figured it out.
"Let's go, let's go back. Your face is all red from the cold." Jiang Shaozhen walked to her side and scooped her up.
Shen Mingzhi carried Niannian into the house with great difficulty. "The little one is getting bigger and bigger. I won't be able to carry her when she's two years old next year."
Jiang Qing came out of the kitchen and laughed when she heard this, "That's right, but I still like to cling to my parents. Even if you can't carry me, you still have to carry me."
Shen Mingzhi smiled helplessly, "Of course I'll let you hold my own child."
She sat in a chair, holding Niannian in her arms.
Jiang Shaozhen held Zhouzhou and taught him how to solve the nine-linked rings puzzle.
The child is still young, and something as complex as the nine-linked rings is certainly difficult for him.
After Jiang Guofu returned, the family sat down together for a meal.
Jiang Nian sat next to Shen Mingzhi, constantly putting food on her mother's plate, saying, "Mom, eat some meat."
“Okay, my daughter really loves me.” Shen Mingzhi patted her head.
Jiang Zhou picked up a duck leg for Shen Mingzhi and said, "I'll give the big duck leg to Mom!"
"Mom can't eat this much. How about we split it in half?" Shen Mingzhi really didn't want to fight with her child for his favorite food, but if she accepted Nian Nian's, she had to consider Zhou Zhou's feelings. Otherwise, the child would feel jealous and unbalanced.
“Okay!” Zhouzhou replied immediately.
Jiang Shaozhen sat to the side and said to Jiang Qing and Jiang Guofu, "Look how clingy they are to their mother. Even though they've grown up, they're still clingy."
"Daddy, you can eat meat too." Niannian smiled and put a piece of sweet and sour pork rib from her bowl onto his plate.
“Oh, my daughter is so thoughtful,” Jiang Shaochen said immediately.
Zhouzhou looked at Shen Mingzhi and said, "Mom, could you help me pick up some food for Dad? He's sitting too far away."
"Okay, what dishes do you want to serve Dad?" Shen Mingzhi asked him.
Zhouzhou looked around, then pointed to the duck head, "Give that to Daddy, doesn't Daddy like it?"
Shen Mingzhi disliked eating duck heads, Jiang Guofu didn't like them either, and Jiang Qing was even less willing to eat them. It was always the frugal Jiang Shaochen who ate them.
Upon hearing this, he was both amused and exasperated, "Fine, I'll eat the duck head."
Shen Mingzhi chuckled and used serving chopsticks to pick up a duck head for him, placing it in his bowl.
"You really do love me, son," Jiang Shaozhen said with a smile.
Zhouzhou proudly raised her little face, "I remember all of Daddy's preferences!"
Shen Mingzhi realized for the first time that the child was actually quite cute.
After dinner, while Jiang Qing and Jiang Guofu were bathing the child, Jiang Shaozhen whispered to Shen Mingzhi, "Professor Wang came to see me today and said that Peking Union Medical College Hospital has helped me find an inhibitor. He told me to drink one in advance and another one when it's almost time. It should suppress my illness."
"Will drinking too much harm your health?" Shen Mingzhi asked worriedly.
"I'm not entirely sure, but I'll drink it first and see how it goes," Jiang Shaozhen said.
“Of course I trust the medicine from Peking Union Medical College Hospital, but… I’m worried about your health,” Shen Mingzhi said, adding that all medicines have side effects.
“They said there’s no major problem at Peking Union Medical College Hospital. We trust them, okay?” Jiang Shaozhen told her.
The two children won't sleep with them tonight.
The two finished showering.
Shen Mingzhi sat in front of the mirror by the window, applying face cream.
Standing behind her, Jiang Shaozhen looked at her increasingly beautiful appearance and said in a low voice, "Every time I go to your factory, everyone says that you are the most beautiful factory manager, and I think it's true."
Shen Mingzhi slapped him, "It's one thing for others to tease me, but you're teasing me too?"
Jiang Shao Chen leaned down, looked at her in the mirror, and said very seriously, "I'm telling you the truth, my wife."
Shen Mingzhi turned her head and looked at his handsome face. "Don't even mention it, people in our factory also tell me how handsome you are. I'm so lucky to have married you."
"Don't listen to their nonsense." After saying that, Jiang Shao Chen asked her, "Are you done yet?"
"What's wrong?" Shen Mingzhi asked him.
"What do you think? I'm sleeping, honey. Didn't you say you were going to take the kids shopping tomorrow?" Jiang Shaozhen said.
"Alright." Shen Mingzhi had just stood up when Jiang Shaochen pulled her into his arms.
She was suddenly lifted into the air, and in fright, she quickly grabbed Jiang Shaozhen's neck.
Jiang Shaochen got much darker that year, but he also became stronger and more mature.
"You scared me to death!" She patted Jiang Shaozhen's chest.
"Then I'll let you know next time." Jiang Shao Chen picked her up and put her on the bed.
Shen Mingzhi rolled over onto the bed, threw off the covers, and crawled inside.
A short while later, Jiang Shaozhen, whose body was burning hot, also got into bed.
The two finally had a chance to be alone.
Jiang Shaozhen kissed Shen Mingzhi for a while before reluctantly letting go of her lips, saying, "Wife, you've worked hard this year, so I'll take care of you tonight."
Shen Mingzhi was dizzy from the kiss and responded in a muffled voice. Then she hugged his neck and said, "It's not tiring at all. It's not as tiring as you are."
Jiang Shaozhen was about to make his next move.
The door was suddenly pushed open.
Niannian ran to the bedside with her pillow in her arms, "Mom and Dad, I want to sleep with you!"
The two people, frozen in bed... looked at each other, and finally showed a helpless expression.
Jiang Shaozhen sighed, gesturing for Shen Mingzhi to get dressed quickly, while he peeked out from under the covers, "How old are you, still sleeping with us?"
“Niannian is not even two years old yet, why can’t she sleep with her parents?” Niannian said, already climbing onto the kang (a heated brick bed).
A little while later, Zhouzhou arrived as well.
Jiang Shaozhen knew this would be the outcome.
He left the middle spot to the two children and lay on the edge.
He turned off the light after Zhouzhou and Niannian had fallen asleep.
"Mom...I want to hear a story." Niannian couldn't sleep, so she spoke to Shen Mingzhi.
After a moment of preparation, Shen Mingzhi began to tell her and Zhouzhou the story of "Journey to the West".
Jiang Shao Chen propped his chin up, looking at the two children, then at Shen Mingzhi's gentle face, and his happiness reached its peak at this moment.
As Shen Mingzhi patiently recounted the story of Tang Sanzang encountering Sun Wukong, who was imprisoned under the Five Elements Mountain, Niannian and Zhouzhou couldn't help but widen their eyes in astonishment.
Seeing how much they liked it, Shen Mingzhi thought that in 1986, they would be able to watch the show on a color television.
Gradually, the two children fell asleep.
Seeing that Shen Mingzhi was also dozing off, Jiang Shaozhen said softly, "Go to sleep."
Shen Mingzhi hummed in agreement. Although she hadn't managed to get intimate with him, the two little girls were still very heartwarming.
Time flies, and their baby will grow up.
And she will lead Poly to a better future.
