Chapter 241 Heading to the Capital Chapter 241 Heading to the Capital
When Mr. Chu learned that Yun Fanghua had given birth to another daughter, he was envious. He had always wanted a sweet and soft granddaughter, but all the ones at home were brats.
Therefore, on the fifth day after Yun Fanghua returned home, Mr. Chu could not help but come to her house. Yun Fanghua was in confinement after childbirth, so she had to let Sixth Aunt bring the second baby to him.

When he saw it, Erbao received a longevity lock made of pure gold.

Seeing how valuable the lock was, Sixth Aunt did not dare to accept it. In the end, it was Yun Fanghua who asked her to accept it, and she accepted it.

After seeing Erbao, Grandpa Chu went back and scolded Chu Zhao again, saying that Chu Zhao had not given him a well-behaved granddaughter.

Faced with the old man's unreasonable behavior, Chu Zhao was speechless.

With someone to take care of her, Yun Fanghua did well during the confinement period. When she was out of confinement, the weather was still cold and she wanted to take a bath. Fortunately, the room was warm because of the kang. Sheng Beicheng had no choice but to arrange it for her. For this purpose, he even bought a large wooden barrel.

After taking a bath, Yun Fanghua felt lighter. Looking at the plump and fair Erbao, her heart softened.

Erbao was still young, so Yun Fanghua was not in a hurry to go home.

As for the full moon banquet, it was held directly in the city. For this purpose, Sheng Beicheng even rented a shuttle bus to pick people up.

Originally, the relatives at home thought that going to the city was a bit far and troublesome, so they didn't plan to go. But when they heard that Sheng Beicheng actually rented a car to pick them up, they were immediately tempted. Look, a car full of people was taken directly to the hotel in the city.

Dabao followed his third grandpa and grandma to the city several days in advance. Seeing his sweet and soft sister, Dabao was very happy.

In her previous life, due to family reasons, her younger sister used her old textbooks in junior high school, which resulted in her not being able to get into a good school despite having good grades.

This time, she would never allow such a thing to happen. Of course, with the current conditions of the family, such a thing would definitely not happen again. Maybe, by then, she and her sister would have to study in this city.

After the full moon banquet, Yun Fanghua stayed in the city for another month before returning to Maojialing.

In this month, Liu Yiling also gave birth to Yun Qidong's first child, a boy named Changshun.

So, not long after Yun Fanghua returned to Maojialing, she went to attend her nephew's full moon banquet.

After celebrating my nephew’s full moon, it’s the end of the year again.

This year, there was one more person in the family, and Yun Fanghua became busy while the family was busy. Although there were the help of the third grandfather and the third grandmother, they were old after all and still a little overwhelmed.

For this reason, Yun Fanghua decided to hire Liu Gu as her own nanny for a long time to help take care of the children.

Sixth Aunt was naturally happy, Yun Fanghua and Sheng Beicheng were both easy to get along with. Third Grandpa and Third Grandma were not nosy, and she liked children herself.

That's how it was settled.

After the Chinese New Year, Sixth Aunt took office again.

When Sixth Aunt came, Yun Fanghua and Third Grandpa and Third Grandma immediately felt much more relaxed. Knowing that Yun Fanghua actually asked someone to help look after the child, many people felt bad. Especially those who had to look after the child and work and do housework all the time, they were even more jealous.

There was nothing they could do if they wanted to be jealous. They could only gossip behind her back. No one dared to say it in front of Yun Fanghua, otherwise she would definitely make them question their lives.

Time flies, and five years have passed in a blink of an eye. Dabao is already eight years old and is in the fifth grade. Erbao is also five years old and is in the first grade.
Both children are smart, which makes Sheng Beicheng and Yun Fanghua very happy. The third and fourth treasures are twins, the third is a boy and the fourth is a girl.

The third and fourth babies were born in May. At this time, the weather had started to get hot, but not too hot, so Yun Fanghua did not suffer too much during the confinement period. The only problem was that the third baby was a big eater, and Yun Fanghua did not have enough milk.

Fortunately, the restrictions have been completely relaxed at this time, and milk powder is not as difficult to buy as in previous years.

Feeding with breast milk and formula, both children grew up to be plump and fair. In the previous life, because he was always hiding and worried, Sibao was only as big as a brick when he was born.

At that time, many people said that they couldn't raise the child and asked Yun Fanghua to give the child away. However, Yun Fanghua disagreed and finally raised the child herself.

Having four children at home is really lively. At the beginning, either one of them was crying or the other one was peeing, and we were too busy to handle it all.

Fortunately, as the children grew up, Yun Fanghua and Sheng Beicheng felt a lot more relaxed.

In a blink of an eye, it was the Spring Festival of 1990. Xie's father called early and asked Sheng Beicheng and his family to go to Beijing to celebrate the New Year.

Thinking that the children were older and the train would not be so chaotic, Sheng Beicheng and Yun Fanghua agreed.

It just so happened that Sheng Min'an was also in Beijing, so Sheng Beicheng and Yun Fanghua decided to take their third grandfather and third grandmother to Beijing to reunite with Sheng Min'an and his family.

Sheng Beicheng handed over the business of the store to his two brothers-in-law, and boarded a train to Beijing with his grandparents, wife and children.

As there were many children, they bought soft sleeper tickets for safety. The soft sleeper was divided into small compartments, with four beds in each compartment, which was perfect for the whole family.

At night, it was a little crowded for one person to sleep with one child, but it was safe. As long as the door of the compartment was locked, no one could get in unless the flight attendant came to open the door.

Except for Dabao, the other children were very curious about riding the train. Once they got on the train, their eyes moved around so much that they couldn't see everything.

Dabao sat on the bunk, missing the high-speed trains of the future. The speed was really great, and it only took a few hours to get from his hometown to Beijing. But now, it takes several days.

The four children were all relatively well behaved and did not make a fuss on the train. Although the time was a bit difficult, with Dabao reading to them and Yun Fanghua preparing a lot of snacks, the third and fourth children did not make a fuss.

It was evening when they arrived in the capital, and Xie's father had already arranged for someone to pick them up at the station.

As soon as the family got off the train, they saw Xie Yiyan standing outside. Seeing Sheng Beicheng and Yun Fanghua coming down, Xie Yiyan shouted loudly, "Brother, sister-in-law."

"Yi Yan, why are you the one answering the call?"

"I just happened to have nothing to do, so I came to pick you up." Xie Yiyan said as he fixed his eyes on the four little kids getting out of the car.

Seeing that his eldest brother actually had four children, Xie Yiyan couldn't help but be shocked.

Chapter 242 Siheyuan Chapter 242 Siheyuan
"Dabao, Erbao, Sanbao, and Sibao, hurry up and call uncle." Yun Fanghua asked the children to call for help.
The four children were all obedient and shouted in unison, "Hello, uncle!"

"Dabao, Erbao, Sanbao, and Sibao, you are so good." Xie Yiyan touched the heads of the four children respectively, then took out a handful of candies from his pocket and shared them with them, saying, "Here, uncle will treat you to candies."

"Thank you, uncle." After expressing their gratitude, several people looked at Yun Fanghua and waited for her to speak.

"Brother, give me the luggage and I'll help you carry some." Xie Yiyan looked at Sheng Beicheng carrying a lot of bags and reached out to help him share some of the burden.

Sheng Beicheng naturally wasn't polite and handed him part of the luggage.

Yun Fanghua watched the two grown men take away the luggage, and she walked towards the exit, holding a child in each hand.

Dabao and Erbao were older and didn't need to be led. However, they didn't walk around randomly, but walked beside Yun Fanghua.

The third uncle and aunt were a little tired from the car ride. Seeing Dabao and Erbao walking by themselves, they were a little worried, so they each held one of them.

Fortunately, it didn’t take long before they arrived at where Xie Yiyan parked his car.

He put all the luggage in the car and waited for everyone else to get in before he got in and sat in the driver's seat.

After sitting down, he asked with a smile, "Brother, sister-in-law, do you want to go to the yard you bought, or come home with me first?"

"Let's go to the yard we bought first." Sheng Beicheng and Yun Fanghua looked at each other and said.

Although Xie Yiyan's home is also a home, it is not their own home. Besides, there is also Xie Yiyan's mother. He is not his biological mother, so it is not good for them to live together.

If they don't have their own house, it's fine. But since they have their own house, it's better to live in their own house.

Xie Yiyan had expected that the two might not be willing to go home with him, so he didn't say anything. He started the car and drove towards the yard that Sheng Beicheng and his friends had bought.

This yard had been bought for several years, but no one had ever lived there. However, a year ago, Yun Fanghua specially asked Xie Yiyan to help with some renovations.

The courtyard they bought was not too far from the train station, and it took more than half an hour to drive there. It was a quadrangle courtyard near the imperial city, and it took more than ten minutes to walk to the Forbidden City.

After arriving at the place, Xie Yiyan stopped the car, took out the key from his pocket and opened the gate.

As the gate opens, the first thing that comes into view is a wall shadow more than two meters high.

After going around the wall, the whole view of the yard was revealed. This is a small courtyard with two entrances, divided into the front yard and the back yard. There are several fruit trees and osmanthus trees planted in the front, and some flowers planted in the yard. However, because no one takes care of them, these flowers and plants grow randomly.

There are nine rooms in the house, three main rooms, three east and west wing rooms. The yard has been swept and is relatively clean.

The things in the house were basically complete, and the furniture was old-fashioned and all made of yellow pear wood, which surprised Yun Fanghua.

They had paid Xie's father to help buy the yard, and when they were renovating it, they also paid Xie Yiyan to find someone. It was their first time to come to this yard, so they were not very clear about the furnishings in the house.

The group put down their luggage and went to the second courtyard to take a look.

The second house also has nine rooms. The backyard is slightly smaller than the front yard. There is a pond in the backyard, which was supposed to be planted with lotus flowers. However, the weather is cold now, and the lotus flowers have already withered.

After a quick walk around the yard, Yun Fanghua and his group prepared to wash up and go to bed. After sitting on the train for several days, everyone was tired.

As for dinner, they had already eaten on the train, so they were not too hungry. Besides, they had just arrived here, and there was not much food at home, so even if they wanted to eat, it would be difficult for them to do so.

Seeing that they were planning to take a rest, Xie Yiyan did not stay long and drove away.

As soon as he left, Yun Fanghua began to arrange accommodation.

Third Grandpa and Third Grandma were old, and the weather in the capital was cold, so they had to live in a room with a kang. In addition to the main room, the east and west wings also had kangs.

Finally, the two elders chose to live in the west wing.
Yun Fanghua and his family lived in the east wing. The kang in the east wing was relatively large, so it was no problem for their family of six to live there.

In fact, it was all thanks to Xie Yiyan that he heated the kang in advance, otherwise they wouldn't be able to go to bed so soon.

By the time Xie Yiyan returned home, it was already half past ten. Xie's father hadn't rested yet, and when he saw his son coming back, he couldn't help but ask, "Did you pick up the person?"

"Yes, we have settled them in the courtyard."

"I'm glad you got it. It's getting late, you should go and get some rest."

"Dad, you should go to bed early too."

The father and son then went to rest.

The next day, Yun Fanghua woke up early. Looking at the four children who were still sleeping, she got out of bed quietly.

When I walked out of the room, I saw Sheng Beicheng coming back with some breakfast.

"Wife, get up. Go wash up and have breakfast." Sheng Beicheng said as he carried breakfast into the kitchen.

In the kitchen, there were bowls and chopsticks and everything else. Sheng Beicheng packed the breakfast one by one, then kept two portions and put the rest in the pot to keep warm, waiting for the third grandfather, third grandmother and the children to get up and eat.

Originally they were supposed to wait for everyone to have breakfast together, but they didn't eat well on the train yesterday. After a good sleep, they were already hungry, so they ate first.

After breakfast, Yun Fanghua planned to take a look around. At least he had to know where the vegetable market was, right?

But just as he was about to go out, he saw Xie Yiyan driving over, bringing them not only food, but also a lot of meat and vegetables.

"Yi Yan, you didn't go out and buy this early in the morning, did you?"

"I didn't buy this. My dad went out to buy it with my aunt and the waiter early in the morning."

"Thank Dad for me."

"No, if you want to thank someone, go and thank them yourself. Dad told you guys to come to his house for dinner tonight."

"Okay, I understand." Sheng Beicheng nodded and agreed. Although they didn't live together, they came back to the capital to see the old man and grandma, so they had to go there, otherwise it would be inappropriate.

Xie Yiyan delivered the things and left. He had to go to work, and if he was late he would be late.

With food, meat and vegetables, Yun Fanghua was no longer in a hurry to go out, but waited at home for the children to wake up.

Probably because they were tired from taking the train and slept late last night, the children got up relatively late.

When the third grandfather and grandmother got up and didn't see the children, they couldn't help asking, "Where are the children? Did they go out or are they still sleeping?" "They are still sleeping. Don't worry about them. Have breakfast first." The third grandfather and grandmother were having breakfast when the door was knocked again. Sheng Beicheng went to open the door and was surprised. (End of this chapter)

Chapter 243: Unfilial Son "Mom, why are you here?"
The person who came was none other than Wang Hongmei, the daughter-in-law of the third grandfather and grandmother, the wife of Sheng Min'an, and the adopted mother of Sheng Beicheng.

"I came to see you. I haven't seen you for so many years. Are your grandparents okay?"

"They are in good health and are having breakfast now. By the way, Mom, have you had breakfast? I'll get you a set of bowls and chopsticks."

Sheng Beicheng closed the courtyard door, turned around and went to the kitchen to get a set of bowls and chopsticks.

It's just past eight o'clock now. Wang Hongmei must have come here early in the morning and probably hasn't had breakfast yet.

When the third grandfather and the third grandmother heard the footsteps, they didn't look back, but just asked, "Who's coming?"

"Dad, Mom, I'm here to see you." As soon as Wang Hongmei opened her mouth, the two elders immediately put down their chopsticks and turned around.

"Hongmei, why are you here?"

"Min'an couldn't sleep the whole night after hearing that you guys were here. If he didn't have to go to work today, he would have come over too. It just so happens that I don't have to go to work, so I came to see you first. Min'an will come over after work."

"We are fine, don't worry. Beicheng and Fanghua are taking good care of us, just let Min'an do his job well."

"Okay, Mom. I'll talk to Min'an." Wang Hongmei felt relieved when she saw that the two elders looked good.

Over the years, they have thought about going back to visit their parents. First, Sheng Min'an is too busy and can't spare the time, and second, they are old and the long car ride is too tiring.

After this delay, they never went back. In fact, they were able to be so relaxed thanks to Sheng Beicheng, their adopted son. To be honest, they didn't do anything for Sheng Beicheng, but he took care of the old man on their behalf. They actually felt sorry for Sheng Beicheng.

"Mom, sit down and have breakfast." Sheng Beicheng took the bowl and chopsticks and placed them in front of Wang Hongmei.

Yun Fanghua was dressing the children in the house. When she heard the noise outside, she didn't rush out. Dabao, on the other hand, had dressed early, but she didn't go out right away. Instead, she helped her mother dress her younger brothers and sisters.

After the four children were dressed, Yun Fanghua took them out.

Wang Hongmei's eyes lit up when she saw Yun Fanghua and the four children coming out of the house. She loved children, but unfortunately her own belly was not good enough, and she had not given birth to a child in all these years. Now seeing the four children born to Yun Fanghua, she was very jealous.

Yun Fanghua saw Wang Hongmei was stunned for a moment, and then quickly told the children, "Dabao, Erbao, Sanbao, Sibao, this is grandma, hurry up and call grandma."

"Grandma, good morning!" Dabao was the oldest and took the lead in calling for help. His younger brothers and sisters followed suit.

"grandmother!"

"grandmother!"

"grandmother!"

Wang Hongmei was overjoyed to hear the children calling her grandma. She took out four big red envelopes from her bag and gave them to each child, saying, "This is a gift from grandma to you. Please accept it."

"Thank you, grandma!" Several children thanked her, then handed the red envelopes to Yun Fanghua, and then went to wash up and prepare for breakfast.
During the meal, Wang Hongmei stared at the children without blinking. Seeing her like this, the third grandfather and the third grandmother could not help but sigh.

Although Wang Hongmei has some minor flaws, she is still good overall. The only pity is that
