After An An got better, he would come with Hu Zi to visit the two old people every week. When he saw Zhang Weifang's white hair and deep wrinkles around his eyes, he realized that his parents were really old.
Over the years, he has missed too much time and let down too many people.
When visiting his parents' house, Hu Zi would help with the cleaning, and An An would fill the refrigerator or help with the dishes.
They are generally not used to cook. When people get old, they just want to eat something light. Those big fish and meat are not suitable for them.
Many elderly people would go out to dance square dance or practice Tai Chi, but Zhang Weifang is not interested in these. She would go out for a walk with Lu Shi every evening and usually stay at home.
Sometimes Xiao Hu would come to ask her to go out for a walk, which was her only entertainment activity.
Lu Shi also stayed at home to take care of Zhang Weifang and rarely went out. He had no interest in playing mahjong, chess, etc. among other people.
Lu Shi has been taking care of his wife all his life, and now he is afraid that something might happen if he doesn't keep a close eye on her.
He charges his mobile phone at home every day, keeps his essential medicines by his bed and in the living room, and keeps important items in one place, so if there is an emergency, he can just go out.
When people get old, they fear illness the most and death even more. Therefore, they will make preparations whenever possible to prevent it.
Zhang Weiren uses his mobile phone every day to talk about long-distance relationships. He is so passionate and positive, even more disgusting than young people's love.
As long as he doesn't spend money recklessly, everyone turns a blind eye to these things and treats them as comfort in his boring life.
This year, Zhang Nailin just turned 40. In recent years, many people have been having second and third children. She didn't have this idea originally, but her son's behavior hit her hard, and now she really wants to have a smaller one.
Zhang Nailin's son Lele is 13 years old. He has been a top student since childhood. His English level is now higher than hers. He has completed junior high school physics and mathematics by self-study.
Lele has been Zhang Nailin's pride since he was a child. His personality is like his father's. He is weak and has low emotional intelligence. He is easily bullied outside, so Zhang Nailin and his wife have always kept a close eye on him.
A few days ago on the weekend, Zhang Nailin wanted to take her son out to play, but was rejected by Lele:
"Mom, my classmates and I have an appointment to go to the movies together."
Zhang Nailin immediately asked:
"Do you want me to drive you there?"
Lele waved her hand and started changing her shoes:
"No, Mom, I'm grown up now, not a child anymore. You don't have to watch over me every day."
Being rejected by her son, Zhang Nailin, the old mother, felt uneasy. In her mind, her son was still young and should stick to them. She didn't expect that he had grown up without her noticing and had his own ideas.
So, Zhang Nailin immediately had the idea of having a second child. When Zhao Zhi heard that his wife wanted to have a second child, he immediately and firmly refused.
Their life is pretty good now. As their children grow up, the pressure will increase. There is no need to have another one to add to the trouble. Besides, they are not old enough to have another one.
Zhang Nailin has been a person who will never give up until she achieves her goal since she was a child. Once she wants to do something, she will never fail.
So, on Monday, she took a special leave to go to the hospital for a check-up. The doctor said that her uterus was in good condition and she could have a second child.
After returning home, Zhang Nailin showed the medical report to Zhao Zhi, and then began to urge him to have a second child, and also asked for his son's opinion:
"Lele, do you think it's okay for mom to have another child?"
Lele is still young, and he feels that having a second child or not has no impact on him at all, and it has nothing to do with him:
"Mom, don't ask me, this is between you and Dad."
So, in the following days, in order to have a second child, Zhang Nailin started taking folic acid, calcium tablets, and vitamins, as if she was obsessed with it.
Zhao Zhi still disagreed, but after Zhang Nailin's repeated attempts to seduce him with beauty, he finally compromised.
They were lucky and found out they were pregnant three months after trying to conceive.
After becoming pregnant, Zhang Nailin continued to work and take care of the family. Perhaps because of her age, although her pregnancy was in good condition, many spots appeared on her face, especially in the late pregnancy, when her face and legs were particularly swollen.
At the end of the year, Zhang Nailin gave birth to a little girl in Taipei. Both mother and daughter are safe. Holding his daughter, Zhao Zhi's heart was filled with infinite joy. The child was so cute.
During the confinement period, Zhang Nailin was taken care of by a confinement nanny and a babysitter. Her parents-in-law were old and not in good health, so they could not bear the burden.
After giving birth to a child, Zhang Nailin's face sagged so much that she looked like she had aged ten years, but that couldn't hide the joy in her heart.
After the confinement period, Zhang Nailin went back to work. Now there is one more person in the family, so she has to work hard to earn money.
The same goes for Zhao Zhi. Every time he looks at his daughter, his heart is filled with strength.
Zhao Zhi's IQ is indeed very high. In order to obtain a Taipei City residence permit, he took the doctoral exam two years ago. With a doctoral degree, his residence permit was quickly granted.
Zhang Nailin found that her face had become ugly, so she found a beauty salon and spent more than 100,000 yuan on a project. The skin on her face immediately improved, and it was impossible to tell that she had given birth to a child.
During the Qingming Festival, when Zhang Nailin came back, Zhang Weifang kept sighing that today's beauty technology is so great.
"Aunt, I think you can give it a try, so that we can both become beautiful together!" Zhang Nailin suggested enthusiastically.
However, Zhang Weifang shook his head and refused without hesitation: "I'm already so old, why should I bother with this? I can't afford to mess with my old face anymore. Besides, it costs hundreds of thousands of dollars for one session, which is not a small amount!"
Zhang Nailin didn't believe that her aunt had no money, but since the old lady didn't want to, she didn't say anything else.
2017 was a good year for having children. Not only did Zhang Nailin give birth to her second child, but Zhang Weishuang's eldest grandson also gave birth to a daughter, and Zhang Weibao's family also gave birth to a little grandson.
When you have a child, everyone's thoughts turn to the child.
Look, Wang Fuzi happily takes care of her grandson every day, and she endures it even though her daughter-in-law quarrels with her every day.
During the day, Zhang Weibao and Wang Fuzi look after the small supermarket. At night, they have to go to their son's house to see their grandson. Every day they have to endure their daughter-in-law's nitpicking and embarrassment. Wang Fuzi keeps all these in his heart.
His wife and mother quarreled every day, and Zhang Shiqi was unhappy. He did a lot of work for both of them, but it was useless.
In fact, his wife had only one goal, which was to get her mother-in-law to leave. She didn't like her mother-in-law, but Zhang Shiqi felt that the family couldn't do without his mother, so he always acted as a peacemaker between his mother and his wife.
He knew that his mother was a bit stubborn, but he also understood that his wife's dissatisfaction was not unreasonable. He tried to find a balance between the two and make the family live in harmony. However, this was not an easy task.
