Marrying a childless superior, she became pregnant and lived a carefree life in the 1970s.

Chapter 381 [Host, Host, the reward for you has been approved!]

They moved that very day.

The whole family moved to a courtyard house.

In order to take care of Tuantuan and to make it easier to teach Yueyue to draw, Grandma Sang packed her clothes and moved to Gu Jianing's courtyard house.

Grandpa Sang: Why am I left alone again? No, semi-retirement isn't enough; I need to retire completely. That way, wherever my wife goes, I can go with her. And I can dedicate myself to teaching Xingxing.

After testing Xingxing, Grandpa Sang was pleasantly surprised to find that Xingxing had an extremely high talent for mechanics and research and development, and also had a very high IQ.

"We stars are geniuses!"

"Great, at least I have someone to carry on the family line."

"Star, what will you do in the future?"

"I want to build an airplane, I want to fly an airplane!" came Xingxing's childish voice.

"Okay, Grandpa will teach you. From now on, our Xingxing can fly the very powerful airplane he built himself, okay?"

"Okay," came the firm reply from Xingxing.

After moving to the courtyard house, Gu Jianing asked Chen Ma to take care of three meals a day again and then gave her a raise.

Chen Ma readily agreed.

Gu Jianing and her family have now settled down in this courtyard house that belongs to her completely.

I must say, living in a courtyard house is just different from living in a single-story house.

It exudes a serene and ancient charm, as if living outside the secular world, free from all worldly affairs.

Gu Jianing slept very well that night.

Xingxing and Yueyue, the brother and sister, sleep in the same room, but there are two beds, so the two siblings can keep each other company.

As for Tuantuan, since she will be taken care of by her maternal grandmother later, she has started sleeping with her maternal grandmother from now on.

Fortunately, Tuantuan now only needs to drink formula, not milk.

Moreover, Tuantuan is very well-behaved and almost never wakes up or cries at night.

The next day, Grandma Sang praised, "Our Tuantuan is such a beautiful and well-behaved child. Grandma loves you so much."

When Gu Jianing got up to wash, she could see through the carved window that Sheng Zexi, who had gotten up at some point, was practicing martial arts with Xingxing in the courtyard.

By the time Chen Ma finished washing up, breakfast had already been prepared.

After breakfast, Gu Jianing and Sheng Zexi took Xingxing and Yueyue and set off for the cemetery.

Since we're in Beijing, we definitely need to go and pay our respects to my mother-in-law.

Xingxing and Yueyue also need to go and pay respects to their grandmother.

Unexpectedly, when the family arrived at the cemetery, they saw a familiar face.

When Sheng Zexi saw the person's figure, he pursed his lips, his face not as sullen as before, but the emotions in his eyes were rather complicated.

"Grandpa~"

It was Xingxing and Yueyue who spoke first.

Sheng Xinhao, who was wiping his wife's tombstone in front of her grave, suddenly heard this call.

Turning around, I saw the stars and the moon.

A smile immediately spread across his face.

Sheng Xinhao stood up and picked up Xingxing and Yueyue with both hands at the same time.

Despite his age, Sheng Xinhao is a soldier with outstanding abilities.

Moreover, his hand, after Gu Jianing performed surgery on him, has recovered very well and is now back to normal.

So this way, you can also hold the sturdy Xingxing and Yueyue at the same time.

"Are you here to pay respects to your grandmother?"

"Correct."

"well."

At the same time, Sheng Xinhao also saw Sheng Xinhao and Gu Jianing, and spoke first: "You're back?"

Although the father and son are not as hostile as before when they meet, it is still rather awkward.

When Sheng Xinhao asked this question, Sheng Zexi gave a faint "hmm" and didn't answer again.

"Okay, okay, then you should work hard to develop your career in the Beijing Military Region."

“As for me, I might have to step down.” Sheng Zexi frowned. “You’re going to step down?”

Isn't this person always very power-hungry?

When that move went wrong before, didn't they try to keep it a secret, just in case it was backed down?

Moreover, although he is approaching his age, he can continue to hold his position.

Sheng Xinhao nodded. "I'm getting old, I have to step down and make way for the younger generation."

Sheng Zexi pursed his lips, realizing what was happening.

Families like theirs.

If a younger generation is outstanding and wants to be promoted, the older generation in the family must step down.

Otherwise, the promotion of younger generations will be constantly suppressed.

With Sheng Xinhao stepping down, Sheng Zexi is the one who benefits.

For a moment, Sheng Zexi's emotions became even more complicated.

What's this? They were able to push him to promotion back then, and now they're going to make him step down because of him?

Has he suddenly realized his mistake?
Or should we make amends?

Sheng Xinhao didn't say much, but guided Xingxing and Yueyue to pay respects to their grandmother, saying, "I'm old and too lazy to do anything anymore. It's nice to live a peaceful life. If you need me, I can help you take care of the children."

After speaking, Sheng Xinhao looked at Gu Jianing.

"Xiao Ning, Dad wants to say sorry to you."

"I shouldn't have said those things to you back then."

"I was too narrow-minded and too controlling back then."

"Of course, I'm saying this not to ask for your forgiveness, but to apologize for the mistakes I made."

Gu Jianing remained silent; to be honest, she didn't know what to say.

forgive?

But what Sheng Xinhao, that father-in-law, said back then was indeed too much.

She was asked to leave Sheng Zexi and abandon her two children.

But what if you don't forgive?

Now, looking at their adoptive father-in-law, it seems he has repented, and he has also provided assistance when they needed it.

Regardless, this father-in-law has now accepted her as his daughter-in-law.

Although Gu Jianing didn't care much about this, being recognized was better than being rejected.

As for what will happen next, we'll have to wait and see.

When it was time to leave after the worship ceremony...

Sheng Xinhao said, "If you have time, you can take Xingxing and Yueyue back to the old house for a visit."

"Well, it is your home after all."

Sheng Zexi paused for a moment. "Let's see."

After saying that, he left with his wife and children.

Sheng Xinhao watched his son and his family's backs as they walked away, then turned to look at the photo on the tombstone, of that beautiful woman.

"Ah Wan, I'm sorry, I couldn't take good care of our son."

"You must hate me over there."

"Now that I've realized my mistake, is it too late?"

"Ah Wan, you never appear in my dreams, are you blaming me for that?"

In the cemetery, Sheng Xinhao let out a long sigh...
-
[Host, host, the reward for you has been approved!]

When Gu Jianing returned to the courtyard, she heard a seemingly cheerful sound beneath the mechanical voice of the system.

Gu Jianing's eyes lit up. "What kind of reward?"

After Gu Jianing received the offer to become a professor at Beijing University and was about to take up a position at Beijing First Hospital, the system proactively told her that Gu Jianing was making rapid progress and achieving high quality in completing her tasks.

Therefore, we need to apply for a reward from the main system for Gu Jianing.
