Gu Qizheng was somewhat worried.

“Starting tomorrow, you’ll train with me. Having a healthy body is more important than anything else. You used to be able to do it three times, but now you only last two before you start begging for mercy. Your stamina is not what it used to be.”

Lin Han was so angry that she threw a pillow at him.

"Shut up, don't say it."

The children all came back a day early for the Lunar New Year.

Niu Niu got married first, and now her child is over a year old. The Gu family initially had objections to Shen Yichen, their son-in-law, feeling that he hadn't handled things properly and had even taken the girl away without meeting his parents.

A month later, Shen Yichen came to the Gu family to atone for his sins with a first-class merit, and the Gu family liked him more and more.

This child is not only handsome, but also very upright. Although he is a soldier, he has the upbringing of a scholarly family and speaks and acts very appropriately.

A year later, Shen Yichen's parents returned to Kyoto after many years of working with Doctors Without Borders.

Shen Yichen's mother is a very gentle person with a broad mind and a heart for the world. She is also incredibly good to Niu Niu.

After returning to China, Shen Yichen's mother continued to provide free medical services, often spending more than a month at a time in impoverished mountainous areas. However, since it was closer to her than abroad, she would return home after a little over a month.

After Shen Yichen's father returned, he became the vice minister of the Ministry of Health. He used to work in the health system, and the position of vice minister had been vacant for him years ago. However, he went abroad for love and became a Doctors Without Borders with Shen Yichen's mother.

Now that Shen Yichen's mother has returned to China for her son and daughter-in-law, he has resumed his old profession.

Lin Han is like a mother-in-law looking at her son-in-law; the more she looks at him, the more she likes him, mainly because there's nothing wrong with Shen Yichen.

Tuan Tuan is now the director of the Institute of Physics, and he is in charge of a state-level classified project that he says will build a weapon more powerful than the hydrogen bomb.

His wife is a traditional Chinese medicine practitioner. She is gentle, refined, and poised. When Tuantuan is busy, she will come to see Lin Han and Gu Qizheng by herself.

She helps her parents and grandparents take care of their health. Among the children, Tuantuan's wife spends the most time with her parents, and Lin Han dotes on her the most.

I originally thought that Mengmeng, with her cheerful personality, might be the first among the siblings to get married, but she still hasn't settled down.

This year, Lin Han was startled when her husband brought a blond-haired, blue-eyed foreigner home for Chinese New Year.

"Mengmeng, you don't want to marry a foreigner, do you?"

Mengmeng said, "Why get married? Isn't dating good? If you don't like one, you can just find another. You can have a whole bunch of new boyfriends to date every day. But once you're married, you can't change anymore. It's so restrictive."

Lin Han was taken aback. She hadn't expected her second daughter to be so open-minded; it would be considered a new trend for women in modern times.

However, as a parent, she doesn't interfere in her children's affairs; she just wants them to be happy.

Oh, I forgot to mention, Mengmeng is now an excellent diplomat, and she speaks the most foreign languages ​​among all diplomats in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. She's really impressive.

After graduating from Peking University, Niu Niu continued her studies and earned a master's and doctoral degree. She now teaches in the Chinese Department of Peking University.

She wrote a novel based on her parents, which was published by Peking University Press.

Upon publication, it caused a sensation in the literary world, won many awards, and sold very well.

With her royalties and writing fees, Niu Niu is now the highest earner in the Gu family.

Lin Han and Gu Qizheng became celebrities, and reporters even came to their home to interview them and ask about their love story.

Recalling one's love stories from their youth in middle age can evoke a unique feeling.
