Siheyuan: The Era of Struggle

Chapter 229 Time is not forgiving (Subscription required)
Unfortunately, Yang Ning's idea was dispelled by his mother's next words: "Don't even think about it. These two children are very well behaved in my house. Although they are so troublesome, they are just helping their great-grandfather to weed the vegetable garden out of pity for him."

"Besides, how can I not be able to teach children? If I am not able to teach children, I have not taught you two brothers the wrong way, have I?"

"Did you really get this dirt on you from helping your great-grandfather clean the vegetable garden?"

Yang Ning looked at his two sons in disbelief and asked.

"Yeah!" The two boys nodded hurriedly and made a sound.

Hi, now it was Yang Ning's turn to feel embarrassed, but then he was pleasantly surprised.

These two boys, thanks to Grandpa Hu’s medicinal bath, are only two years old, but they look the same age as ordinary children of four or five years old. There will be absolutely no problem for them to grow up smoothly.

Maybe due to the influence of external plug-ins, these two children are very smart. As long as they don't grow up in the wrong direction, they will definitely become pillars of society in the future.

This is also the reason why Yang Ning has always been worried that these two children will grow up in a wrong way. With such good talents, it would be a pity if they became second-generation rich children in the future.

But think about it, no matter how much the parents love their grandson, there is still Grandpa Hu watching over him.

With Mr. Hu's experience, there is no way he would let his great-grandson become a playboy.

However, even though Yang Ning knew that he had misunderstood the two children, as a man from the old city, even if he had changed his heart, he was still affected by this body and environment and was very good at showing face.

Even though he knew he was wrong, he still couldn't bring himself to apologize to the two kids. He could only glare at them with a lack of confidence: "It's because you two didn't say so earlier."

"Hmph!" Seeing that her two grandsons were frightened by her son, Yang Liu snorted coldly, took her two grandsons and ignored Yang Ning, and went back to the house to change her two grandsons' clothes.

When Hu Yinghong got off work in the evening, she was stunned when she saw Yang Ning coaxing the child.

"Yang Ning~" Hu Yinghong shouted when she saw her husband standing up and staring at her with a smile, trying hard to suppress her inner excitement.

"I'm back!" Yang Ning didn't care that there were people around at this time. Seeing Hu Yinghong with a bulging belly, he hugged him gently.

"Shame on you, big brother!"

"Dad is so ashamed!" ×2
The adults in the room could pretend not to see anything, but the three little ones spoke their minds and started to make fun of Yang Ning.

After hearing what the three guys said, Yang Ning glared at them and pretended to be angry and said, "Go away. I brought you some delicious food, but it seems you don't want it anymore."

"Sister-in-law!" When the second monster heard that there was something delicious, he no longer cared about making fun of Yang Ning.

But he knew that he would be taught a lesson by his elder brother if he went to see him, so he held Hu Yinghong's hand and pretended to be flattering.

The two sons were not as cunning as their uncle. They just stopped laughing and stared at Yang Ning pitifully, as if they were wrong.

Yang Ning rubbed his two sons' faces hard, but before he could get enough of it, they were slapped away by their mother.

"It's not light or heavy, what if it gets damaged?"

As he said this, he glared at Yang Ning, then turned around and went back to the house to get the things Yang Ning brought back for his youngest son and two grandsons.

The second weirdo and the two boys were also smart. When they saw Yang Liu turned around and went back to the house, they followed her happily.

After a while, there was a burst of shouting in the room.

"Yinghong, have you missed me during this period?" Yang Ning asked with a grin when only Yang Ning and Hu Yinghong were left in the main room.

"Virtue!" Hu Yinghong had calmed down from the excitement she felt when she saw Yang Ning coming back. Seeing her husband's shameless look, she rolled her eyes at him in annoyance.

Then she looked at her husband for a while, and then she felt relieved: "It seems that you haven't lost weight!" "Hehe~, you said you didn't lose weight, I think I lost weight, it's all because I wanted you to lose weight."

Yang Ning couldn't help but say a few words, but he didn't expect that as soon as he said this, a cough was heard at the door of the main room.

Yang Ning and Hu Yinghong were both startled by the sound. They looked towards the door and found their father who was unable to move forward or backward.

"Swish!" After seeing her father, Hu Yinghong's face turned red instantly, but Yang Ning breathed a sigh of relief. This was his father, and there was nothing embarrassing about being seen by him.

So he shouted without changing his expression: "Dad, you're back?"

"Yeah!" Perhaps because his daughter-in-law was present, in order to save Hu Yinghong's face, the father pretended to be calm and nodded, then asked Yang Ning: "When did you come back?"

"I just came back this afternoon." Yang Ning saw that Hu Yinghong was almost turning into an ostrich, so he casually responded to his father and then pulled her out of the main room.

"Hey, it's great to be young! I want you to be thin, and I don't know where you came up with such a romantic word!"

Seeing Yang Ning and Hu Yinghong running away in a panic, Yang Dagen couldn't help but sigh, and then couldn't help but smile and imitate Yang Ning's behavior just now.

Unfortunately, too much joy turns to sorrow. When he turned around, he saw Yang Liushi, who was standing at the door waiting for him with an angry look on her face. In front of her, there were three boys holding cakes, looking gloating.

"Tell me, who is so capable that he can make you lose weight just by thinking about it?"

"Ouch! Let go, that's not what I said, it's ..."

Listening to her father's pleading voice in the main room, Hu Yinghong asked worriedly, "Is everything okay?"

"It's okay, maybe this is the way my parents get along with each other." Yang Ning waved his hand calmly, telling her not to worry.

"By the way, why didn't I see the old man today?"

Yang Ning suddenly remembered that he hadn't seen the old man since he came back, so he asked in confusion.

"One of Grandpa's old comrades accidentally fell and got injured a while ago, so Grandpa went to help with his treatment!"

Hu Yinghong said as she packed Yang Ning's luggage.

"My old man's comrade, he must be quite old, how could he be so careless?"

Unexpectedly, Yang Ning's casual remark made Hu Yinghong's expression become sad.

"My grandfather's old comrade also fell down in excitement after hearing the news that our missile and atomic bomb experiments were successful."

"Plus, I'm old now. After this fall, I don't know how much time I have left!"

"Although Grandpa doesn't look much different than usual, I can sense that his energy and spirit have declined a lot since his old comrade fell."

Yang Ning also fell silent after hearing what Hu Yinghong said. He thought that since the old man was called "Mr. Hu and my old comrade-in-arms" by Hu Yinghong, he must be about the same age as Mr. Hu.

Mr. Hu’s generation is obviously older than our Dinghaishenzhen’s generation.

Their generation is the one that experienced our most difficult times. It is also thanks to the continuous exploration of people like Mr. Hu that we have found the right path for ourselves.

Unfortunately, time is merciless, and Mr. Hu’s generation is now slowly dying out.
