"That’s because you don’t want to look. Actually, finding an ordinary person to spend life with is quite good too."
"Old Yang, stop overthinking it. Hurry up and settle down." Wei Kaiyun advised his friend.
Old Yang smiled and shook his head, "You should know , I’m soone who would rather go without than settle. If there’s no woman who makes my heart flutter, I won’t get married."
"But where do you have the chance to et won? If you don’t et them, how will you know if they can make your heart flutter?"
"It’s just that my destiny hasn’t arrived yet. There will always be a chance encounter with my beloved one. I’ll wait patiently."
Wei Kaiyun knew Old Yang’s temperant and changed the subject, not continuing further.
"Is your work busy? Why not stay here for now and return when spring cos?"
"No, I can’t be absent from there. I have to go back, but I’ll co over during the New Year."
"Alright."
Old Yang saw that half of the dumplings were wrapped, and he went down the kang, "I’ll boil water. Once finished, we can cook them right away. The dumpling filling slls so good; it’s been a long ti since I had Xiao Jiang’s cooking. I’m really looking forward to it."
At this mont, only Wei Kaiyun was left on the kang. He sat there, gazing at his wife under the candlelight, feeling deeply satisfied.
This was his wife, his children. He felt a sense of unparalleled fulfillnt in his life.
"Shi Jingfei, go get two heads of garlic, and ask your dad to peel them."
"Okay, I know where the garlic is." Shi Jingfei said, putting down his chopsticks and running off.
By the ti the family sat on the kang to eat dumplings, it was already eight in the evening; the al was indeed quite late.
However, everyone was very satisfied. Although their lives here were decent, Sister-in-law Liu’s resources were tight, accustod to hard tis, so her cooking was average.
Jiang Xinyu didn’t skimp on at or oil, so the dumplings slled very fragrant.
The three children ate a bit much, so afterward, they wandered around the room.
Jiang Xinyu watched them, feeling a bit bitter inside. Her children had suffered so injustice in terms of food.
Now that she’s here with them, she must ensure they eat well; they’re still young and shouldn’t suffer.
In the evening, the two children wanted to sleep with their parents. Thus Old Yang, Shang Zhenkun, and Jianbin shared one room among the three of them.
The two children were thrilled to sleep with their parents. But, given their biological clocks and young age, they fell asleep in half an hour.
The couple lay on either side of the two children. Wei Kaiyun saw the kids were asleep, "Wife, co and join in my bed."
"You rest, I’m a bit tired today."
Wei Kaiyun chuckled, "Wife, even if I wanted to, I wouldn’t have the strength now. I just want to hold you while we sleep."
"Holding you makes feel real."
In the end, Jiang Xinyu joined Wei Kaiyun in his bed. As they snuggled together, Wei Kaiyun sighed, "This is what happiness looks like to ."
"You’re too easily satisfied."
"This isn’t easy to co by. If I hadn’t t you, I wouldn’t be living like in a past life, but I wouldn’t have had my own family either. I would certainly live alone like Old Yang."
"Haha, not necessarily. Without , you’d have a family because you know things from your past life."
Wei Kaiyun shook his head, "I’m also soone who would rather go without than settle. My life will only be what I want it to be, and I won’t compromise myself."
Wei Kaiyun gently touched his wife’s belly, feeling the baby move slightly.
"Wife, the baby moved." He was full of joy.
"Yes, this baby is very well-behaved. Although I felt him move early, I haven’t been uncomfortable at all. Everything is fine."
"He’s being thoughtful towards his parents."
Jiang Xinyu nodded, "Yes, he’s sensible. Initially, I was worried I would be uncomfortable. But surprisingly, I’ve been able to keep doing what I need to without any issues."
The couple talked endlessly, and Jiang Xinyu fell asleep gradually.
But Wei Kaiyun couldn’t fall asleep, surrounded by the breathing of the four of them in the room, feeling so happy.
Next morning, Jiang Xinyu got up at six when the kids woke up.
"Shi Jingfei, Feifei, why up so early?"
"Mama, we usually wake up at this ti; we have to practice soon."
Jiang Xinyu watched the two kids efficiently putting on their clothes, then heard sounds from the main room.
Wei Kaiyun pulled Jiang Xinyu back to lie down, "Wife, leave them be, Master Shang is there."
Jiang Xinyu got up, "You lie down, I’ll go take a look, and breakfast needs to be made."
"I’ll get up with you."
"You stay put; otherwise, I’d be distracted taking care of you.
I’ll call you for breakfast once it’s ready. Don’t move unnecessarily, heal well, and you’ll recover faster."
Wei Kaiyun had no choice but to lie down again. He was just like a useless person now; to care for them well in the future, he had to focus on healing.
Jiang Xinyu walked out and saw Master Shang warming up with the three kids.
These little ones were particularly serious.
She smiled and went to collect firewood. The leftover dumplings from last night weren’t enough to eat, so she planned to make seafood porridge for them in the morning. Of course, she and Wei Kaiyun shouldn’t eat anything too hot, so millet porridge would be fine too. Anyway, she had to heat the kang, so it didn’t matter.
She boiled water in the large stoves on both sides; after exercising, they would also need to wash.
Just then, Old Yang also ca out.
"Xiao Jiang, you’re up early."
"The kids got up, so I woke up."
"Haha, I’ll be heading back shortly."
Jiang Xinyu hesitated for a mont, "Master Yang, could you make a call to my friend to let her know I’m safe?
I hurried off after hearing about Wei Kaiyun’s accident, so just let her know I’ve arrived here."
"Okay, I got it. Just give the phone number later."
"Thanks."
Old Yang smiled without saying much; it’s not good to act too distant.
An hour later, the children finished their training. Jiang Xinyu had prepared basins of hot water; seeing the three energetic kids, she felt truly happy.
Seeing it was seafood porridge, Shi Jing and Feifei cheered. Nothing beats mom’s cooking.
They praised Mom with a basketful of complints.
After breakfast, Old Yang left with the phone number.
The kids continued to learn with Master Shang. Jiang Xinyu listened on the side, thinking perhaps book knowledge should be added since they would enter society and take exams in the future. Ten years from now, the college entrance exams would be restored, by which ti Jianbin could take them, but Shi Jing and Feifei were still too young.
