Meng Xiba said he wanted three children, but she knew that wasnât possible.
Because during this period, it was family planning. They should only have one child.
She also wondered whether, when the policy opened up to a second child in the future, she would still be of childbearing age...
"What are you thinking about?"
The two men on either side suddenly asked at the same time.
"Huh?" Chiang Xiao snapped back to reality and quickly shook her head. "Nothing, nothing!"
Oh my God, was her mind too far gone, thinking about whether she could have a second child at forty!
If she mentioned this, theyâd laugh at her for sure!
Absolutely canât say it!
She felt her face heat up and quickly ran towards the house.
"Iâll go open the door first!"
The two men watched her back from behind, with slight smiles on the corners of their mouths.
The girl they both wanted to spoil, wishing her a lifetime of smooth sailing, peace, and joy, and they would always love her.
"Did Uncle Six remember the things from back then?"
The two walked slowly home, each carrying some vegetables, meat, eggs, and noodles.
Meng Xinianâs sudden question made Ah Liu pause in his steps.
"Do you think Iâve remembered everything?" he asked in return.
"Even if you havenât remembered everything, you probably remember most of it." Meng Xinianâs tone was very certain.
Ah Liu didnât speak, only sighed slightly.
After a while, he said softly, "Things in life donât always go the way we want."
"Of course, things donât always go as we wish, but as long as one isnât too greedy, knows what they want most, and achieves that one thing, thatâs enough."
Meng Xinianâs words made Ah Liu look at him.
He hadnât expected such insight from a young man.
It made him realize he had underestimated Meng Xinian.
So he asked, "Then, what do you want most?"
"What I want most," Meng Xinian smiled slightly, saying without hesitation, "is to walk hand in hand with Little through life, grow old together, surrounded by children and grandchildren."
Many might find this an old-fashioned wish, but it was truly what he desired.
"Anyone or anything obstructing this wish," Meng Xinianâs gaze turned cold, his tone firm, with a hint of ruthlessness, "I will eliminate."
Although his words were harsh, when Ah Liu heard them, his heart felt at ease.
"Hope you can always think this way, that your wish wonât change."
"It wonât."
Chiang Xiao had already reached the door and looked back, seeing them still walking slowly and talking. She couldnât help but call out, "Arenât you guys hurrying up? Even the ants on the roadside are faster than you."
Meng Xinian and Ah Liu exchanged a glance, sped up, and walked towards her.
Chiang Xiao had just washed her face and hands when the phone rang.
This call was from Chiang Songhai. He had called several times, and no one had answered.
Previously, he wouldnât have worried, thinking Chiang Xiao had gone out, but because Chen Zhu had called earlier, he feared something had happened in the Capital City, so he felt uneasy.
"Little, nothingâs wrong over there, right?"
Chiang Xiao heard the urgency in his voice and was stunned for a moment, "Grandpa, nothingâs wrong, why?"
In fact, of course, there was something. Ah Liu had found his family, and they belonged to the Jiang Family. Did that count as something?
But Chiang Xiao decided not to tell her grandpa and grandma just yet, since they didnât really know the situation with the D State Jiang Family.
