Jing Shao is infertile, but his nanny is pregnant with his child.

When Zhou Yanxing and Zhou Nuannuan returned with their three children, they saw the portrait drawn by Lu Yan and liked it very much. They pulled Lu Yan and asked her to draw one for them.

Zhou Yanchen frowned: "Draw it again after your lunch break."

Zhou Yanxing and Zhou Nuannuan nodded repeatedly.

After lunch, Lu Yan only rested for an hour before getting up to draw for them.

I won't draw individual portraits of Zhou Yanxing, Zhou Nuannuan, and Lu Yaguang today. I'll draw Zhou Ziliang and his sister first, and then draw their group photo.

Lu Yan not only painted a family portrait, but also painted a separate family portrait for Zhou Changjiang's family, and another portrait for the four siblings.

The three children stood together and drew a picture.

After finishing the drawing, Lu Yan shook her hand and said, "Finally finished."

Xu Lin took them and examined them one by one. "They look so much like the real thing, they really have a better feel than photos taken with a camera."

Lu Yan: "Sister Lin, this is a bit difficult to preserve. It's easy to deform if you fold it up. When you preserve it, it's best to fold it less, or roll it up like this."

Lu Yan rolled up a cigarette and demonstrated for them, "That's it."

Xu Lin had seen this before, "Okay, I know how to do this."

Lu Yan handed her the rolled-up food. "Okay, I'll cook dinner for everyone tonight as a farewell dinner."

Xu Lin: "We're having hot pot!"

Lu Yan: "Sure!"

Eating hot pot is so much simpler now.

In the evening, everyone sat together, eating hot pot and chatting, and it wasn't until after eight o'clock that they finished.

After dinner, Lu Yan went to clean up the kitchen so that the family could have a good chat.

After Lu Yan finished cleaning up the kitchen and came out, Jin Aiyun and Xu Lin had prepared the luggage that their whole family would be taking tomorrow, and Zhou Changjiang picked it up and put it in the car.

Lu Yan: "Sister Lin, what time are you leaving tomorrow morning?"

"I have to leave around 4 o'clock. I have to transfer flights in between. Changjiang has to report to the army early the day after tomorrow."

At that time, there were no direct flights from Beijing to Hainan, and connecting flights required coordinating with the next available flight.

The next morning around 3 a.m., Lu Yan heard the noise and got up.

Seeing Lu Yan come out, Xu Lin quickly went over and took Lu Yan's hand, "Yan Yan, we have to go."

"Is everything packed? Is there anything I can help you with?"

"I brought them all."

Lu Yan smiled at her, "Sister Lin, have a safe trip, and see you next time."

Xu Lin opened her arms and hugged her. "Yanyan, goodbye. I'll miss you. You must come after Yan Chen recovers."

Lu Yan: "I will definitely go."

Zhou Changjiang: "Comrade Lu Yan, thank you again for taking care of Yan Chen. We will be waiting for you in Hainan, and we will definitely treat you well then."

Lu Yan smiled and said, "Okay."

Zhou Changjiang turned to Zhou Yanchen's side and said, "Yanchen, I'm leaving now. Be sure to call me if anything happens. Even if I can't come back to help you, I hope we can discuss things together."

Zhou Yanchen: "I understand, elder brother."

Zhou Changjiang bent down and hugged him. "I'm waiting for your good news. I hope we can have a good fight next time we meet."

Zhou Yanchen: "Fine, I won't hold back."

Zhou Changjiang reached out and punched him lightly, then laughed and said, "If that's how you put it, I'll vent my anger first."

Zhou Yanchen leaned back against the back of the wheelchair, using his strength to lift his eyelids and glance at him.

"Okay, I'll return it."

"I'll be waiting."

Zhou Changjiang turned to Zhou Yanxing and said, "Work hard after graduation. Whatever you do, do your best. Don't let people say that you are not fulfilling your duties because you rely on your family's power."

Zhou Yanxing: "Don't worry, big brother, I won't let Dad down."

Zhou Changjiang patted him on the shoulder, then looked at Zhou Nuannuan.

"Nuan Nuan, I'm leaving now. If you want to go to Hainan for summer vacation, just tell me and Dad will find someone to give you a letter of introduction so you can stay with me for a while."

This is Zhou Nuannuan's last summer vacation; she'll have very few opportunities after she starts working next year.

Zhou Nuannuan: "I'm going with Sister Yanyan."

"Okay, your sister-in-law and I will wait for you."

"Hurry up and go, or you'll miss your flight."

Jin Aiyun, standing nearby, couldn't help but complain, "She's really getting old; she's becoming more and more nagging."

Zhou Changjiang: "......"

The others couldn't help but laugh out loud, and the sadness of parting dissipated considerably.

Zhou Changjiang: "Mom and Dad, we're leaving now. If anything happens at home, please let us know."

"I know, I know," Jin Aiyun said impatiently, "Just leave already, I can't stand you."

Zhou Changjiang pursed his lips. "Okay, we're leaving."

Lu Yan: "Sister Lin, let me see you off."

Lu Yan pushed Zhou Yanchen to the gate to see them off. They had a lot of luggage, so Zhou Yanchen drove them there. There was no room for anyone else in the car.

Before getting on the bus, Zhou Changjiang hugged Jin Aiyun and said, "Mom, you and Dad should take good care of yourselves. If there's an opportunity, I'll apply to be transferred back."

His parents are getting older and they only come back once every few years. He really feels like he is being unfilial.

Jin Aiyun was moved just a moment ago, but when she heard the last sentence, she reached out and pushed him away, her expression serious.

"Your father and I don't need you. We're both in excellent health. What you need to do is guard the border; that's your duty. Your father and I have your younger siblings and the military. It's not your turn to come back, understand?"

Zhou Changjiang: "Mom, I know."

Jin Aiyun looked at him and said, "Changjiang, guarding the border and protecting Hainan is the greatest way to show filial piety to your father and me."

Zhou Changjiang: "Mom, I know."

Jin Aiyun held Xu Lin's hand and said, "Linlin, you've had the hardest time all these years. If you need anything, just tell me. I'll keep an eye on your parents' situation and we'll definitely help them if we can."

Xu Lin's eyes suddenly reddened, and she opened her arms to hug her. "Mom, thank you."

Jin Aiyun patted her on the back, "Silly child, don't thank me. We're all family. This is what I should do. I'll take good care of your home base so you can work better in Hainan."

"Alright, get in the car now."

Zhou Changjiang and his family of four got into the car, and Zhou Yanxing started the car.

Zhou Changjiang and the others rolled down the car windows. "Mom and Dad, Yan Chen, Yan Yan, Nuan Nuan, Comrade Lu Yan, you should all go back now."

Goodbye, Grandpa and Grandma!

Zhou Ziliang waved to Lu Yan, "Aunt Yan, tell Ya Guang I'm leaving now, I'll miss him!"

Lu Yan waved to them, "Okay, I'll pass it on!"

As the car drove further and further away, Jin Aiyun turned around and wiped away her tears.

Zhou Jianguo sighed, "You were impatient when your son was talking to you, but you started crying here after he walked away."

Jin Aiyun glared at him, "You don't know anything!"

Zhou Jianguo: "..."
