After the two finished their meal, they drove back to the military base. Lin Han was exhausted after a long day. When she got home, she chatted with her elders for a while before going upstairs to lie down.

Gu Qizheng was having tea with his grandfather when he saw his wife leave. He put down his teacup and followed her upstairs.

Grandpa Gu looked at his eldest grandson and granddaughter-in-law with a smile, feeling very gratified.

"It's a good thing that young people have a good relationship; a harmonious family is the foundation of everything."

Gu Huaiming also agreed. Initially, he and Qin Shuman liked Lin Han and were prepared to raise her as their own daughter, with Gu Qizheng acting as their son-in-law.

After all the twists and turns, the son who had been missing for over twenty years was brought back by his daughter-in-law. It was truly a wonderful coincidence.

"As long as the young couple has a good relationship, we elders can rest assured."

As Lin Han's belly grew bigger day by day, the Gu family began to get nervous.

Although it's still four or five months away, it's hard to say what will happen if you're pregnant with multiple babies. Most of them will be born prematurely, so you need to prepare everything for the baby in advance so you won't be caught off guard when the time comes.

Lin Han and Gu Qizheng went upstairs to rest, while Grandpa Gu went to the yard to check on the vegetables he had planted and the chickens he had raised.

"Why are these chickens growing so slowly? We give them plenty of feed every day, but they just won't grow any bigger. I wonder if my granddaughter-in-law will be able to drink the chicken soup you make in a few months."

Grandma Jiang was taking apart old bed sheets to make diapers in the yard when she heard Grandpa Gu's words and was speechless.

"Why are you saying these things in front of the chicks? Be careful they don't grow any fatter if they hear you."

Grandpa Gu found it funny; could chickens possibly understand what people are saying?

"Did I scare it by saying I wanted chicken soup?"

Grandma Jiang didn't want to pay attention to this old man and continued to take apart the bed sheets while wearing her reading glasses.

"With three children, the amount of everything we need is three times the normal amount. I don't even know if we have enough diapers."

"Old man, once the baby is born, the task of washing diapers will be yours."

Grandpa Gu didn't refuse. It's just washing diapers, he's willing to do it for his great-grandson.

“Let’s wash them. Huaiming and I will be in charge of washing the diapers. You, Shuman, and Qizheng can each take care of one child. We can handle the odd jobs.”

Grandma Jiang looked up at him and said, "You've never even washed your son and grandson, but now you're all over your great-grandson?"

Knowing he was in the wrong, Old Master Gu said, "When Huaiming and Qizheng were young, the war was intense, and I was almost never home. You've had a hard time."

Now that I'm retired, I want to make up for it, and I have to thank my wife for giving me this opportunity.

It's because you took such good care of our son that we have such a wonderful daughter-in-law who gave birth to our grandson.

"This is all thanks to you and Schumann; you two are the greatest contributors to our family."

Although Grandma Jiang felt wronged, she knew that in those days, men risked their lives to defend their country on the battlefield, not to slack off and enjoy themselves.

Although she was tired and felt wronged, she had no resentment in her heart.

Times have changed. Soldiers no longer have to risk their lives in the midst of gunfire every day. How can we say that the contributions of Grandpa Gu's generation are not significant?

Although he wasn't a good family husband when he was young, he was definitely a good soldier.

He can protect the people, but he can't take care of his own family, so it's not his fault.

"Thank you for your thoughtfulness. We just didn't live in a good time. Now that Hanhan has been born, we should support the younger generation and not let them suffer the hardships that our generation endured."
