I originally planned to stay in Miaoshan for the whole holiday, but I didn't expect to be recognized.
Since that's the case, to avoid unnecessary trouble, let's find another place to stay!
Fortunately, there are many places near Beijing that we haven't been to yet, so we'll go and explore those places we haven't been to before.
Anyway, I have nothing to do at home, so I can't bother the kids.
They don't have the same freedom as me; they have to go to work regardless of whether their children have a holiday or not.
Fortunately, at my age, I can do whatever I want without anyone interfering.
Otherwise, you really can't go out and have fun. The most important thing is that you are in good health, otherwise they won't feel at ease.
While you can still go out and have fun, go out and travel more. When you can no longer go out in a few years, you won't miss it anymore.
Otherwise, when the children go to work, who will take care of you and meet your demands?
Time flies, and several years have passed in the blink of an eye. In these past few years, I've gone to all the places I wanted to go on my own.
Now, if I have nothing to do, I just stay at home. What can I do?
Even if I'm perfectly healthy, my children are still worried, so I won't trouble them.
However, since returning from our last trip, my husband and I have moved to Miaoshan.
It's not that you can hang out with people you know, but the air there is better than in the city.
Another advantage is that when you have free time, you can wander around.
Living in this hutong is actually inconvenient now, because with the internet becoming more and more developed, many people enjoy exploring hutong culture.
Staying here is already inconvenient, so let's go stay in Miaoshan. There are ready-made places there, and we don't need to prepare anything else.
We and our husbands are comfortable living here, and even our older brother and sister-in-law have moved here too.
Originally, Sister Nan and her husband Shen Bei were also going to move here, but their grandchildren were too young, so they had no choice but to let their sons take care of the children first.
Why did they get married so late? This also meant that their children from the same generation couldn't grow up together, which meant their relationship was relatively weaker.
Fortunately, the Shen family had good upbringing, and their parents and grandparents were good to them!
Whenever there's time, I'll just leave my child here in Miaoshan, especially during winter and summer vacations.
Other people's children are all attending tutoring classes there, but these children not only don't, they're also being grouped together.
Even the youngest child in Zhao Mingcheng's family would come over.
After his divorce from Jing Qianqian, he spent several years on his own before finally getting married again. And it happened very quickly; they had a child just over a year after their marriage.
To be honest, although our relationship is still lukewarm, there aren't any other problems.
The wife he married this time is very ordinary and doesn't cause trouble. As for whether she has any ulterior motives, that's their business. As long as she doesn't focus her attention on the Shen family, that's fine.
Since it's the holidays again and the children have come, in order to foster their relationship, the boys are assigned to one room and the girls to another.
Moreover, they all had bunk beds, so the older children would take care of their younger siblings.
Although they are together, despite their significant age difference, their constant bickering is unavoidable.
Fortunately, my home is usually quite lively, so I'm used to this kind of situation.
There is also a ranking among them, but that's their own business.
If you lie in the rocking chair in the room, you will hear it.
"Xiao Shi, don't you know the rules? We're a team now. Who gave you permission to move around like that?"
"I, I, I didn't."
"Xiao Shi, I've told you so many times, you have to report before you speak, how could you forget again?"
"Report, I'm sorry, I was wrong."
"Alright, Xiao Wu, don't make things difficult for him. How old is he?"
He's only coming with us for fun, so let's hurry up and leave!
"Okay, what about Xiao Shi?"
With his short legs, by the time we get there it will be dark, and we won't be able to do anything there, right?
"What should we do? Are we just going to leave him here? If we do that, Grandpa and Grandma will definitely punish us."
"Forget it! How about I carry him the whole way?"
"Really? Third Brother!"
"If it's not real, then it must be fake! You don't want to be punished, but do you think I do?"
Besides, our family rules are no different from yours. If one person makes a mistake, everyone has to be punished. What's the difference between this and the ancient system of collective punishment?
"Sigh! Third Brother, don't say anymore. We do the same thing at home."
No matter which of us does something wrong, Grandpa and Grandma will do the same thing.
Also, they didn't care when it was exams before, but ever since I started third grade, if I get a score below 98, it's a problem.
"Whichever one of us is who, we have to stand in the corner as punishment. Anyone who didn't know better would think we weren't our grandparents' biological grandchildren!"
"That's all because of you. You never check your work carefully during exams. If you had just checked it a little more, would I be the one being punished by standing in the corner?"
"I, I..."
"Alright, we can talk about this later. Now, everyone check your belongings to make sure you've brought everything. If you haven't forgotten anything, then we'll set off."
"Okay."
What are they going to do?
"Sister-in-law, don't worry. I heard they're going on an adventure and they're going to explore the entire Miaoshan Mountain."
"this?"
"It's alright, sister-in-law, don't worry! Someone will be following them."
"That's good, that's good. I was just worried they might get lost or run into bad people."
"It's unlikely that my sister-in-law got lost, not to mention how many times they've come to Miaoshan to play."
How could you not believe in the militarized training your older brother gave them?
Their expedition was, in fact, at the behest of their grandfathers.
As for the need for bad guys, it's uncertain, since people nowadays aren't as good as they were back then.
But the slightly older children could still tell the difference to some extent.
Besides, with someone protecting them, you don't need to worry.
For families like ours, sooner or later, at least half of their children will have to join the army.
They'll still have to undergo training eventually, it's just earlier now, since we have instructors readily available!
"That's true. In that case, I won't interfere."
"Don't worry about it. If they can explore every inch of Miaoshan during this holiday, then the task they will face next will be much more difficult."
I wonder if these kids can handle it, considering they're still quite young.
"That's true, but once they come back to us, we'll be a whole. How can we leave the smallest one behind?"
