Over the years, the identities of Wu Zhaodi and Wang Yanyan have changed again and again, the only thing that remains unchanged is their love for joking and playing with each other.

The two of them were making their own little jokes, and then they turned around and pulled Shen Yao to go to the kitchen to work.

The men in the house also did not rest, as they were all ordered by Tian Na to work.

Today our family finally has a chance to get together, so we must have some fun.

After Tian Na finished dealing with the pork and radish meatballs in her hand, she straightened up and pounded them with her hands.

Surrounding him are his three daughters-in-law and Duoduo. As for his daughter Xie Aihua, she has already set off from Hainan and will be home in two days.

"This year, more family members will be together for the Mid-Autumn Festival. We can celebrate the reunion festival in the courtyard."

Tian Na sighed out loud, thinking that in the past few years, during the holidays, people were always lacking this or that. Although every family had an expensive phone and could occasionally call to let everyone know they were safe, this kind of communication was obviously far different from face-to-face conversation.

This year is different. Everyone in the family has received definite news that they will be coming back to celebrate the festival together.

My daughter Xie Aihua and her family of four were transferred back to the north to work and live. In the future, the mother and daughter will no longer have to be separated by thousands of miles from each other. Everything is moving in a good direction.

Tian Na was born in 1918 and grew up in famine and war.

He got married early, and supported Xie Shangjin all the way, raising several children with his family, and enjoyed a second spring in his career in his later years.

If the world were a book, then Tianna would definitely be considered a late bloomer storybook heroine.

From childhood to adulthood, from nothing to something, everything in front of us is the gratifying result of Tian Na's hard work bit by bit.

Now Tian Na is in her twilight years and her life is counting down, but she has no regrets to speak of. God has been kind to her, and Tian Na is now very content.

"Mom, then I have to free up time around the Mid-Autumn Festival. Not only can we celebrate the festival, but we can also go out and play together. What do you call it? Cultivate relationships?"

Wu Zhaodi opened her mouth to respond, but in the end she was not sure how to say the word.

Anyway, it's a fashionable word, and the girls and wives in the factory all love to make fun of it.

"Isn't it the job of a young couple to cultivate feelings? But when our whole family goes out, it's more lively than anything else."

Wang Yanyan added with a smile, and then began to choose destinations around Beijing.

Upon hearing this, Shen Yao quickly provided a travel destination, "You can go to Inner Mongolia, ride a horse to see the grassland, and eat authentic roasted whole lamb."

"Grandma, listen to my aunt and go to Inner Mongolia," Duoduo popped out her little head and kept acting coquettishly towards Tian Na.

Duoduo became a primary school teacher right after graduation. Her personality has not changed over the years. Even though she has started a family, she is still like a child.

"Let's go to Inner Mongolia. The whole family will go together. We should make sure to free up that time."

Tian Na waved her hand and no one objected to the plan.

After all, Mid-Autumn Festival is not just a festival, but also the birthdays of Xie Shangjin and Tian Na a few days before and after.

It’s a serious 88th birthday. The age is there and there is only a few more years left for them to live. The first thing that the younger generations like them consider is to make the elderly in the family happy.

In the yard outside the door, Xie Shangjin was holding a newly plucked chicken and directing his eldest son to clean up the feathers.

Xie Aidang raised his head and glanced at the door. "Mom, what are they talking about so happily?"

Xie Aimin clapped his hands and said, "Don't bother yourself with that. Hurry up and clean up the chicken feathers. There are still some ducks that haven't been plucked yet."

Xie Aidang was speechless, "Isn't this because I'm afraid that mom and the others will have another sudden whim?" Having a daughter-in-law who is so capable of causing trouble at home is already too much to bear, and with my mother added to the mix, how can he survive?

Xie Aimin patted his eldest brother's shoulder sympathetically. It's the same in every family.

But let the wife do whatever she wants, as long as she doesn't make things too hard for him.

Xie Shangjin looked down on these two brothers. He rolled his eyes at Xie Aidang and Xie Aimin who were talking nicely to each other, and urged them to work faster.

"Why are you dithering? Be careful that your mom and the others might see you and scold you."

Not only does he have no skills, but he also keeps dragging others down every day. Xie Shangjin was so angry that he fumed.

Although the old man is the same age as Tian Na, he is healthier than his two sons.

Xie Aidang and Xie Aimin responded timidly, then lowered their heads and continued to work on their tasks.

There was no way. They were used to being oppressed in the Xie family, and they would feel uncomfortable if they were not scolded.

Everyone was busy and noisy, and when Xie Ci'an came back in the evening, the incomplete family got together and had dinner.

Business skills are naturally indispensable at the dinner table. Now the people with the biggest business in the family are Tian Na and Shen Yao.

Tian Na is busy opening chain supermarkets all over the country, and Shen Yao is busy opening Chinese medicine stores all over the country.

As for Wu Zhaodi and Wang Yanyan who took a step back, their factories were in the expansion stage. It was a victory for them to be able to take care of the business around Beijing City. For the time being, they had no intention of coveting a larger territory.

"Mom, you have to fly to Hai City in two days, why don't you let Shitou's dad accompany you?"

"Mom, you can also ask Duoduo's dad. Aimin will stay at home anyway."

Tian Na glanced at them and said, "No need, Xiao Huang, come with me."

Turning around, Tian Na asked Shen Yao about her summer vacation plans.

Because the establishment of a Chinese medicine store is somewhat similar to that of a supermarket, currently only stores in economically developed cities can be selected, because both of these things cost money.

It’s not that construction is impossible in economically underdeveloped areas, but they will be slightly inferior in terms of capital recovery.

Shen Yao's ultimate goal must be to open Chinese medicine stores all over the motherland, and by the way, take advantage of the opportunity to sail abroad and make money from foreigners.

It’s just that follow-up plans will take time to realize, and she is currently focusing on some preliminary construction.

"Mom, I plan to travel around the coastal areas first, and then slowly move inland."

This is related to the country's economic development situation, where the rich will lead the poor.

Shen Yao needs a lot of investment in the early stage, and the returns are far less than what is obtained during the investment phase, so it will definitely try its best to retain some customers.

Tianna nodded, "You take a look first, if it works, I'll take a walk too."

It is difficult to create something from nothing, but it is easier to create more from something.

Although Tian Na is old, she is unwilling to admit defeat, and she has more energy and spirit than the average young person.

The mother-in-law and the daughter-in-law were talking to each other, and except for them, everyone else at the table kept silent.

Wu Zhaodi and Wang Yanyan cannot deny that they have some other little thoughts, but these are human nature and problems that no one can avoid.

Everyone is greedy. With such a big business like Tian Na, who wouldn't want to get a piece of the pie, even if their family is no longer short of money?

"Mom knows what the eldest and second sisters-in-law are thinking. I think this matter will cause a big fuss in the future."

When the elderly are alive, they must be harmonious and peaceful. But once they die, their descendants will definitely fall out and settle issues.

Xie Ci'an has been working in the research institute, but that doesn't mean he doesn't understand these things.

On the contrary, where there are many people, there are many disputes, and the research institute is not a secluded holy place.

All I can say is that most people are very pure and put all their energy into scientific research.

But there are a few special people who pursue goals that are completely different from everyone else.

After a lively dinner, the family decided to stay in the yard and sleep for the night.

Shen Yao and Xie Ci'an still lived in the ear room. When they talked with the door closed, even the two children next door couldn't hear them.

"It won't make a fuss. Mom knows everything. I think the division of property has already been settled by a lawyer."

In this regard, Tian Na is very trendy. Shen Yao only knows this thanks to the system that sends her messages from time to time.

Xie Ci'an hugged Shen Yao with one hand, and the two of them leaned against each other with their heads touching. "Mom is really far-sighted."

I have to say, it's a great job to take precautions against family members in advance.

"Go, talk nonsense."

Shen Yao gently hit Xie Ci'an on the chest and asked about his professional title evaluation.

Xie Ci'an smiled and said, "It's not a big problem, I just feel a little sorry for you."

I didn't enjoy a comfortable life after marrying him for a few years, but I had to worry about him from time to time.

"Comrade Xie, I think you have some misunderstandings," Shen Yao felt that Xie Ci'an was really thinking too much.

Do men also go through menopause when they get older? Why has this man suddenly become decadent recently? It seems that he needs to drink more Chinese medicine to regulate his body.

"I feel very relaxed and comfortable living with you. No matter what we do, we are making progress together."

No one was left behind, and the past few decades of life, although dull, were also full of warmth.

What's more, they have four lovely children. Shen Yao has always been glad that she chose the right person.

It’s not that she couldn’t have made a better choice back then, but good doesn’t necessarily mean everything will go as she wishes.

Resting her head on Xie Ci'an's neck, Shen Yao whispered about every little detail of the past few years.

"...So don't always doubt yourself. Comrade Xie, if you have no confidence in yourself, what will you do in your next life?"

Shen Yao spoke in a teasing tone, but also said seriously that her elder sister-in-law Xie Aihua would return to Beijing in two days.

"It's been more than ten years since we last met. I don't know how you look now."

In the summer of 84, Xie Aihua returned briefly with her two children.

At that time, we were sending our two children back to Beijing to attend military school. We were in a hurry and there was no way for us to get together.

This time was different. "It was said that my brother-in-law got a promotion and was transferred back to the north for work. We will have more opportunities to meet in the future."

Xie Ci'an pursed his lips after hearing this, "My third sister has a hard life. Following the army is exhausting, and she also has to take care of the children and the elderly on a daily basis. Now that she can come back to live in the evening, Mom will definitely be happy."

Tian Na has always disagreed with Xie Aihua's marriage, but Xie Aihua is willing.

The mother and daughter had a very unhappy argument about the issue of marriage.

Even when Shen Yao got married, Tian Na rarely mentioned Xie Aihua.

However, no matter how much people don’t mention it, Tian Na sends a lot of New Year gifts to the islands every year.

The mother and daughter are both hypocritical, and even the supermarket chain opened by Tian Na can't wait to build a small one next to the island, even if it doesn't make money.

Sometimes maternal love is not expressed by words but by actions. Shen Yao can see from Tian Na's love for her children, a feeling that is both unreserved and restrained, which is contradictory but touching.

"Humph! You silly girl, you finally decided to come back. I thought you were going to live on the island forever."

Three days later, Xie Aihua returned to Fengshou Hutong carrying large and small bags.

The first words that came out of the conversation between the mother and daughter were Tian Na's scolding of Xie Aihua.

"Mom, I know I was wrong. Now that I'm back, I won't leave again."

Xie Aihua has long hair, and even if she takes good care of it, you can still see dense traces of white hair in it.

Tian Na pursed her lips and pulled Xie Aihua into the house to chat. As for the others, Xie Shangjin and the others would take care of them.

Shen Yao stood at the door and watched the Zhao father and son being taken away by Xie Shangjin.

"Sister-in-law, the food we ordered from home has arrived. Let's go and get some."

Wang Yanyan poked Shen Yao, and the two sisters-in-law turned around and went to the kitchen.

"Now that you are here, hurry up and put those cooked chickens and ducks into the pot to heat them up. It will be time for dinner soon."

Wu Zhaodi was busy taking care of the children at home, and her forehead was sweating from exhaustion.

"Sister-in-law, please take a rest. I'll take care of the rest of the work," Wang Yanyan rolled up her sleeves and sorted the things neatly.

Shen Yao reached out to pick up the dishes and arrange the plates, and unconsciously turned the conversation to her elder sister-in-law who had returned.

The three sisters-in-law said the most that Xie Aihua looked older than her peers.

Not to mention compared with Shen Yao, she is not even as good as Wu Zhaodi and Wang Yanyan. Xie Aihua is obviously not very old, but she looks miserable and tired.

The situation has improved a lot in recent years, but it was more prominent in the past few years.

The three of them have a neither-good-nor-bad relationship with Xie Aihua, so there are some things they definitely can't say.

However, Shen Yao could see the pity in Wu Zhaodi and Wang Yanyan's expressions.

Shen Yao felt that this kind of thing was something that only Xie Aihua knew how to handle. As long as Xie Aihua didn't regret it, that was enough.

Having said that, if the same choice was given to Shen Yao, she would definitely not choose it.

Knowing that the title of military dependent is a great one, it doesn’t mean Shen Yao is willing to do so.

'I've said it all, I'm just an ordinary person, living every day in an ordinary way, other things have nothing to do with me.'

'Host, I hope we can continue to have a pleasant cooperation.'

'That's for sure,' she would never choose to end it until she completely lost interest in life.

How wonderful it is to be alive and be able to appreciate the various different scenery along the way.

……

The return of Xie Aihua's family from the island added to the Xie family's population.

After learning that Xie Aihua was unemployed, Tian Na simply used her power to send him to work in the supermarket.

Not only that, Tian Na would also take Xie Aihua with her on her daily business trips.

The explanation I gave to my family was that I wanted to spend more time with my daughter.

After all, the mother and daughter have been separated for decades. Now they finally have the chance. What else can Tian Na, an old woman half buried in the ground, be concerned about?

The matter was settled neatly and quickly. Except for Wu Zhaodi and Wang Yanyan who were a little unhappy, no one else thought much of it.

Soon, June arrived and Beijing began to heat up.

Meimei and Manman took part in the city's unified high school entrance examination. After successfully being admitted to high school, they packed up their things, and leisurely followed Tian Na and others on a plane to play in the south.

At the same time, Xie Ci'an worked overtime, and Shen Yao took the train to travel around according to the planned schedule.

By the time Shen Yao successfully took over several target cities, auctioned the land, and arranged for a construction company to build it, the weather had already turned cooler.

The sky is high and the air is crisp in autumn, and the fallen leaves are scattered all over, as if it is raining leaves.

Tuantuan and Yuanyuan finally arrived home the day before the Mid-Autumn Festival.

I was so tired that I couldn't open my eyes and fell asleep immediately. Fortunately, the result was good in the end and I didn't miss this family trip.
