"Becoming like a... virtuous wife and loving mother." Hua Yun couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Zhou Yanjin looked up and pinched the tip of her nose: "As long as you and your daughter are comfortable, I'll do anything you ask."

Happy days are always short-lived, especially for honest people who still have to farm.

Hua Yun had a comfortable postpartum period, while Li Guifen was busy taking care of everything at the old house. Although there was a nanny, she always felt that the soup she cooked herself was the most nourishing.

That day, Hua'an arrived with the gifts that his grandparents had packed.

After greeting the elders and tidying himself up, Hua An's eyes lit up with an alarming intensity when he looked at his little niece in the cradle.

"Sister, is this Nuannuan?" Hua An squatted by the cradle, not daring to reach out and touch her, afraid that her hands would be too rough. "She's so white, even whiter than the chicks that just hatched in our village."

Hua Yun chuckled: "Can't you use a metaphor? That's your own niece."

Hua An scratched his head and smiled sheepishly. He pulled a bulging, thin gift box from his pocket and stuffed it into the warm little quilt.

"This is a longevity lock I bought. It's not expensive. Sister, you can put it on the child later," Hua An said to Hua Yun.

"Okay, I'll keep it for Nuannuan. When Nuannuan grows up a bit, I'll give it to her. This is a gift that her uncle bought for her," Hua Yun said happily.

Beside him, Hua Shu rubbed his calloused hands, and seeing his daughter's rosy complexion, he finally felt relieved.

"Yunyun, your mom will take care of you here, I'll head back now." Hua Shu looked out the window, "The sheep at home can't be left unattended, and the hay needs to be cut. Dad's worried about Grandpa and Grandma being home alone."

"Dad, let's stay for two more days," Hua Yun said, somewhat reluctantly.

"I'm not staying here anymore, I'm not staying here anymore." Hua Shu waved her hand. "This city is too clean, I feel uncomfortable living here. Anzi and I will go back together tomorrow. When you come back, you must take the child home to your grandparents to see. They miss you so much."

Despite Hua Yun and Zhou Yanjin's repeated attempts to persuade him to stay, Hua Shu still decided to go home, leaving Li Guifen at the Zhou family home to wait for Hua Yun to finish her postpartum confinement before returning home.

Before leaving, Zhou Yanjin had someone fill the trunk of the car with various health supplements and high-end cigarettes and alcohol.

Hua Shu refused to accept it, but Zhou Yanjin only said, "Dad, this is for the villagers who helped out, not for you. You'll still need everyone's help to take care of the sheep when you get back."

These words left Hua Shu speechless, and she had no choice but to accept them.

Watching her father and younger brother drive away in their luxury car, Hua Yun leaned against the window frame and sighed softly.

Li Guifen came over with a bowl of chicken soup: "Why are you sighing? Your dad's gone back to being a commander, and those sheep are his soldiers. He'll get sick from being cooped up all day. Come on, drink this soup."

Finally, the day Huayun finished her postpartum confinement arrived, which also happened to be Nuannuan's full moon celebration.

The Zhou family didn't hold a grand banquet; it was just a family gathering for a meal. But this "family feast" was surprisingly high in value.

At the dinner table, the old man Zhou Yinchuan put his cane aside and gave a wink to the lawyer next to him.

The lawyer took out a thick stack of documents and spread them on the table.

"Come on, Yunyun, sign the papers." The old man waved his hand with an air of grandeur.

Hua Yun leaned over to take a look and almost spat out the soup she had just drunk.

Property Gift Agreement, Equity Transfer Agreement, Vehicle Transfer Instructions...

"Grandpa, what...what's going on here?" Hua Yun could barely hold her chopsticks. "These villas? And that office building in the city center? Is this...is this for Nuannuan?"

"Why give it to her? How old is she? This is for you!" The old man glared. "You've done a great service to the Zhou family! You gave birth to three boys, and now this little lucky star! This is a reward!"

"And this one?" Hua Yun pointed to the document below, "5% of the Zhou Group's shares, transferred to... Zhou Nianyun?"

"This is Nuannuan's dowry!" the old man declared confidently. "A girl should have confidence! If any brat dares to bully her in the future, we'll bury him in money!"

Zhou Yanjin, peeling shrimp nearby, calmly added, "Grandpa, that 5% stake, the annual dividends are enough to buy half of Baixi Village. Are you planning to make her the richest woman before she's even weaned?"

"Mind your own business!" The old man rolled his eyes at him. "I'm happy to do it! Also, this is the jade jewelry set your grandmother left behind, which was also for Nuannuan. I've locked it in the safe, and the key is with Yunyun."

At this moment, Zhou Ye and Lin Yi could no longer sit still.

Although Zhou Ye wasn't usually very noticeable, he was, after all, the chairman. He coughed and took out a car key: "Um... Yunyun, Dad ordered a new, modified car for you, it's safe. Also, I set up a growth fund for Nuannuan, not much, just a few hundred million, we'll save it slowly."

Lin Yi went even further, taking out an exquisite little box. Upon opening it, she found a pink diamond rough, as big as a quail egg.

"I bought this at an auction," Lin Yi said with an elegant smile. "When Nuannuan grows up, she can design her own necklaces or crowns. Girls should be sparkly."

Looking at the table full of "extraordinary wealth," Hua Yun felt like she was dreaming.

She turned to look at Zhou Yanjin, her eyes filled with: Does your Zhou family have some misunderstanding about the word "gift"?

Zhou Yanjin placed the peeled shrimp into her bowl, smiling indulgently, "Keep it. In this family, it's impolite to refuse a gift from an elder. Anyway, it'll always be Nuannuan's, so you can keep it for her for now."

If the love of elders is bought with money, then the love of the three older brothers is built up through their actions.

Ever since Nuannuan came home, these three mischievous monkeys seem to have been under a spell, completely changing their personalities.

Game console? I'm not playing anymore.

Ultraman? I'm not watching it anymore.

The first thing I do after school every day is rush into the nursery and look at my little sister.

"Big brother, look, little sister is blowing bubbles!" Sile lay on the edge of the bed, staring at the crystal clear little saliva bubble near Nuannuan's mouth, as if he were watching some kind of world wonder.

Si'an, holding a copy of "Childcare Encyclopedia," was wearing non-prescription glasses and trying to look serious: "The book says this is a sign of the baby's salivary glands developing. It means your little sister is smart."

"Really?" Si Tao immediately perked up, bringing her face close. "Sister, spit on me! Spit on my face! Let me absorb some of your intelligence!"

"Get away!" Si'an pushed her younger brother away with disgust. "Your face is covered in dust, don't let it bother your sister."

That afternoon, Hua Yun was processing documents in the living room, while Zhou Yanjin was holding a video conference in the study.

The three little ones are in the nursery.

Nuannuan woke up, but didn't cry. She just squirmed restlessly, her little face flushed red.

"Hmm..." Si Tao, with her keen nose, sniffed, "There's a smell! My little sister pooped!"
