After returning to the family compound, they resumed their peaceful lives.
Ah Ting seems to be even busier since returning to the team.
They leave early and return late every day, and you only see them when they're eating.
The two children are still worlds apart in their studies. An'an is intelligent and has already studied up to the elementary school textbooks on her own. Su Jingjing can't help but feel a little afraid of catching up with her, her old mother.
Yuanyuan is still as silly as ever, and doesn't seem to have any talent when it comes to studying.
However, the couple had a very peaceful mindset; as long as their child was happy every day, it didn't matter if the child got a zero on a test.

Jinju only truly understood what it meant to live a life of misery after marrying into the Li family.
The Li family members completely changed their demeanor, no longer displaying their previous warmth and friendliness, but instead acting like smiling tigers.
All her previous fantasies were shattered.
Aside from having an urban household registration, the Li family was no different from any other impoverished family.
They couldn't bear to hire a nanny, so the small room was piled with things and looked messy.
When she first married into the family, she took on all the housework in order to please Li's mother.
She thought it was only temporary, after all, no one would order a pregnant woman around.
But the Li family members are no ordinary people; their skin is as thick as a city wall.
During this time, she suffered a lot of injustice.
Her former best friend has become distant. Haoxuan leaves early and returns late every day, ignoring her complaints and instead accusing her of being nosy.
Jinju felt increasingly aggrieved and sat on the bed, tears streaming down her face.
People say that pregnant women are often sentimental, and that's absolutely true.
Even though I'm almost four months pregnant, there's no sign of my belly showing at all. It's probably just a lack of nutrition.
Just then, a loud clanging sound came from outside, and she instinctively stopped crying.
Her mother-in-law was blaming her for not cooking.
She actually didn't cook on purpose.
Li's mother kept nagging, "Where has this girl gone?"
She had just returned from playing cards with her girlfriends and lost ten yuan. She was in a bad mood, and the empty pot only fueled her anger.
Just as she was about to unleash even more vicious curses, the door to her son's bedroom opened, revealing Jinju's melancholy face.
He swallowed back the words that were about to come out.
Why don't you cook at home?
Jinju deliberately clutched her stomach and said, "Mom, my stomach is a little uncomfortable today."
If we don't use some methods, she will be tortured to death in this family.
Li's mother looked at her flat stomach and gritted her teeth, convinced that she was lying.
"You're not just making excuses, are you?"
Jinju continued to show weakness.
Li's mother said fiercely, "Fine, let's see if your stomach still hurts tomorrow."
Before the child is born, the child in Jinju's belly could be Haoxuan's.
If she doesn't look like Haoxuan, she'll definitely tear that bitch apart.
Jinju thus narrowly escaped disaster.
She returned to her room still shaken, and she understood the hidden meaning in her mother-in-law's words.
You can dodge the first day of the month, but you can't dodge the fifteenth.
No, the only person she can rely on is Brother Haoxuan.
Li Haoxuan returned home early that evening, which was unusual for him.
He's been working on a project with a friend lately, and it seems they've made some money. He's been in a good mood every day.
Jinju noticed it too.
It seems that heaven is on her side. As long as she can appease Haoxuan, she can gain a foothold in the Li family.
Jinju wore a revealing nightgown and deliberately flaunted herself in front of Haoxuan.
Li Haoxuan's desire was aroused, and he pulled the person into his arms.
"Are you deliberately trying to seduce me?"
That's so sexy! Absolutely amazing!
Otherwise, he wouldn't have gotten involved with her in the first place.
Jinju spun around on the man's chest, "So, Brother Haoxuan, did you take the bait?"
"What do you think?" Li Haoxuan asked back, then pressed the other person down and kissed him.
"Wait a minute."
Li Haoxuan couldn't wait to loosen his belt. "What are we waiting for? Let's finish this first."
"If Brother Haoxuan won't listen to me, then don't touch me."
Jinju said those words at great risk, fearing the man would slam the door and leave.
But Li Haoxuan was now driven by lust and only wanted a quick victory.
After pausing for a moment, she lay down on the other side. "Okay, what did you say?"
He thought Jinju was asking him for money.
I've made some money recently, so giving her a little bit wouldn't be a bad idea.
"Brother Haoxuan, my stomach has been bothering me lately, probably because I've been working too much."
She hooked her finger around his and said, "Could you tell Mom that I can get some rest?"
"After all, the child in my belly is a member of your Li family."
As she spoke, she deliberately pulled the man's hand over and placed it on her stomach.
Li Haoxuan seemed to feel a slight bulge, and a strange feeling flashed through his mind.
"Okay, I'll talk to them about it tomorrow."
"Now you can let me touch you, right?"
He is still interested in Jinju, so it's understandable that he speaks up for her.
"sure."
Having received a satisfactory answer, Jinju smiled triumphantly.
The next day, the clanging and banging started again outside.
Jinju was woken up and immediately realized that her mother-in-law was unhappy.
As long as Haoxuan is still sleeping beside her, she is not afraid.
They went to bed very late last night, so it seems that Brother Haoxuan didn't go looking for other women because of her pregnancy.
Li Haoxuan was gradually awakened by the noise. He didn't react at first and pinched his eyebrows. "What's that noise outside?"
Jinju chuckled to herself, "We overslept today, and Mom is using this method to wake us up."
Li Haoxuan immediately deflated, cursing fiercely, "What on earth is she doing?"
After saying that, he put on his clothes and went out.
"Mom, what are you doing?"
Seeing his mother deliberately banging on the bowl, his face immediately darkened.
Li's mother immediately stopped what she was doing. "Son, haven't you left yet?"
She thought her son was leaving early and returning late as usual.
Li Haoxuan understood the unspoken meaning in his mother's words.
This is deliberately targeting Jinju.
"Mom, Jinju is still pregnant, so we don't need to ask her to do housework anymore."
Li's mother was stunned.
After realizing what she meant, her face fell. "Haoxuan, are you speaking up for her?"
Before her son could answer, she sat on the ground and started crying.
"Good heavens, he's forgotten his mother after getting married."
"Go and ask around, which family's daughter-in-law doesn't stay home to do chores?"
"She's from the countryside, so she must be in good health. She could work even with a big belly."
She let out two wails and then secretly watched her son's reaction.
Li Haoxuan was most afraid of his mother's move. "Mom, I didn't mean anything by it. Please get up."
Jinju inside the house heard everything clearly, and seeing that the man was about to give in, she quickly opened the door and came out.
Li's mother's wailing stopped abruptly, and both mother and son looked at her.
