「On the other side.」
Zhou Cuilan changed into her new clothes and admired herself in the mirror, thoroughly pleased with Zhang Yuxi's taste. Seeing this, Lin Dashan silently put on his new coat, and the couple admired their reflections together.
The same scene was unfolding in Lin Jie's room. He put on his new Air Jordans, snapped a few photos, and posted them on his social media feed.
"Received the New Year's gifts I've been longing for. Thanks, bro!"
In less than five minutes, he received countless likes and comments.
"Oh my God, can I please have a dozen brothers like him?"
"I saw Little Jie at the authorized AJ retailer today. His brother is super handsome, looks just like Takeshi Kaneshiro!"
"Little Jie, can I be your sister-in-law?"
"Stop dreaming, okay? Little Jie's brother is already married!"
"I asked about those shoes—they cost over six thousand! Little Jie bought two pairs at once. What a tycoon!"
"..."
The couple was lying down, playing with the babies, when suddenly, the Fourth Baby's expression froze. Lin Feng jolted, jumping up immediately to take his son to go potty. Indeed, the moment he removed the diaper, the Fourth Baby pooped. He had been just in the nick of time.
Zhang Yuxi got up to get water to rinse the Fourth Baby's bottom. Just as she came out, she saw the Third Baby's little face turning red with effort. Zhang Yuxi took a sharp breath, immediately put down the small basin in her hand, and rushed over to check on her. She had a bad feeling and sat down next to Lin Feng, helping the babies do their business.
The Third Baby finished quickly. Zhang Yuxi washed her bottom and fastened a fresh diaper on her. The Fourth Baby, however, wasn't done yet.
Lin Feng encouraged him, "Come on, baby, don't just sit there, push! Isn't your little bottom getting cold?"
The Fourth Baby was quite composed and didn't make a sound. After a moment, he finally let out a peep, indicating he was finished. Zhang Yuxi came over to get him cleaned up. "Your little bottom is as cold as an ice cube."
Every night before the babies went to sleep, Lin Feng would help each of them poop. Now that the babies were older, if they went before bed, they could sleep through the entire night without needing a diaper change. But the very next morning, he would have to help them poop first thing! Lin Feng persisted for a week, and the babies were all very good, cooperating with their daddy every night.
「The next afternoon arrived in the blink of an eye.」
The family took the motorhome back to their old building, ready to meet up with Yu Zheng's family. When the neighbors learned they had moved back into their former villa, they were full of sighs and amazement. Look at that, it had only been a few years since they sold the place, and now they had moved back in. What did that mean? It meant they had made a fortune!
Upon hearing that Lin Feng was the one who bought it, everyone grew even more emotional.
"Old Lin, you are truly blessed to have such a successful son!"
"You can stop working so hard now. Your eldest son is married and rich, so you have nothing to worry about."
"And your younger son is going to college after his exams. You can finally relax."
"That Lin Feng, I always knew he had potential. See? I was right!"
Lin Dashan wore a proud expression, but he replied with modesty. "As parents, you never stop worrying, no matter how old your children get."
"The boy made a little money in business, but he didn't think of himself. He only thought of his family. He's such a filial son!"
Zhou Cuilan appeared, dressed like a wealthy socialite, drawing everyone's eyes. The women who had been dancing or playing cards downstairs all gathered around to chat with her.
"Sister Zhou, you look beautiful today!"
"Where are you off to?"
Zhou Cuilan smiled. "The Lin Family is getting together for a meal. You could call it our reunion dinner."
"That outfit and jewelry look so good together!" the others praised.
Zhou Cuilan couldn't hide her smug satisfaction. "My daughter-in-law picked it all out for me. What do I know about buying clothes!"
"Your daughter-in-law has excellent taste. That set suits you perfectly!"
"Your son is successful, and your daughter-in-law is so filial. We're so envious of you. You've finally made it."
"Exactly! It's still up in the air whether my son can even find a wife..."
Zhou Cuilan and Lin Dashan stayed downstairs to look after their grandchildren, while Lin Feng, Lin Jie, and Zhang Yuxi went upstairs.
Chuan Chuan opened the door. Having not seen him for several months, they saw that the timid, autistic air about him was gone. Seeing Lin Feng, he threw himself into his arms.
"Uncle Lin Feng, Chuan Chuan missed you!"
Looking at the child who now reached his chest, Lin Feng's gaze softened. "Uncle Lin Feng missed you too."
"Have you been a good boy at home?"
Chuan Chuan nodded. "Yes! Chuan Chuan is always good!"
Lin Jie asked, "And what about Little Uncle? Did you miss me?"
Chuan Chuan replied obediently, "I missed you too!"
When Lin Jie first heard Chuan Chuan's story, he found it miraculous but hard to believe. Now, seeing Chuan Chuan speaking and expressing himself just like other children his age, he was finally convinced.
Chuan Chuan spotted Zhang Yuxi behind Lin Feng. "Auntie Zhang!"
Zhang Yuxi answered cheerfully, "Here I am! Let Auntie have a look at you. You've gotten so handsome!"
Chuan Chuan lifted his little face, looking a bit shy.
Yu Zheng and Sun Rou emerged, all ready to go, with the Eldest Aunt following behind them. With Chuan Chuan's recovery, the dark clouds that had hung over their heads had finally dispersed. Their faces were full of radiant, heartfelt smiles.
Yu Zheng put an arm around Lin Jie. "How did your exams go? Are you confident about getting into a tier-one university?"
Lin Jie ducked his head. "I'll do my best!"
"If you get into a tier-one university, I'll give you a big red envelope!"
"How much?"
"Hey, you haven't even gotten in yet. Why are you asking that?" Yu Zheng teased. "Don't worry, the reward won't disappoint you!"
Hearing this, Lin Feng also chimed in, "That's right. If you get into a tier-one university, I'll give you a big red envelope too."
Zhang Yuxi pursed her lips and smiled. "Your sister-in-law will give you one too!"
Sun Rou also declared, "Count me in!"
Lin Jie gasped, "Wow, does that mean I'm going to be rich?"
Yu Zheng laughed. "Then you'd better study hard. Rest assured, our red envelopes won't disappoint you!"
Lin Jie puffed out his chest. "Then just you wait and see."
"Alright, your brother and I will be waiting!"
Walking at the back, the Eldest Aunt laughed. "Then you must work hard. Your Eldest Aunt will also chip in a red envelope, just for good measure!"
The group descended the stairs, chatting and laughing. Lin Dashan was downstairs making small talk with the neighbors. Zhou Cuilan came up to meet them. "You're down. Let's go, quickly. Your Third Uncle called to say that most of the guests are already seated."
Yu Zheng nodded and walked toward his car. Last year, he was driving a Mercedes worth three hundred thousand; this year, he had upgraded to a bigger model worth over five hundred thousand.
Opening the trunk, Yu Zheng suddenly had a thought. "You guys drove back this time. Won't that BMW be too rough on the kids?"
Although the drive was only a little over six hours, it was still exhausting for small children.
Lin Feng smiled. "I got a new car."
Yu Zheng looked into the distance and saw a motorhome parked there; he could even hear the babies' voices coming from inside. He walked over for a closer look and exclaimed in surprise.
"Nice! You got a motorhome!"
"It'll be so convenient to take the babies anywhere now!"
Sun Rou stepped inside and shrieked with childlike delight. "WOW, this is awesome! It has everything inside, just like a little house."
Yu Zheng shot her a look. "Well, what did you expect? That's why they call it a motor-HOME."
Sun Rou asked Chuan Chuan, "Chuan Chuan, do you like it? When Daddy makes more money, we'll buy one too, okay?"
Chuan Chuan nodded happily.
Seeing his wife and son so delighted, Yu Zheng made up his mind. "Alright, Daddy will work hard to earn money, and we'll buy a motorhome to go on trips."
He asked Lin Feng, "How much did this cost?"
Lin Feng, already inside, poked his head out. "Close to a million."
Yu Zheng took a breath. "A million, huh? I'd better start working harder then."
Sun Rou smiled brightly. "You can do it, Daddy!"
Chuan Chuan also cheered him on. "You can do it, Daddy!"
Zhang Yuxi stood by the door. "When you buy one, we can all go on a road trip together."
Sun Rou nodded eagerly, like a chicken pecking at grain. "That's a great idea!"
Chuan Chuan loved the motorhome so much that once he was inside, he refused to come out. Left with no choice, the three elders had to ride in Yu Zheng's car. Lin Feng drove the motorhome, carrying Lin Jie, Chuan Chuan, Sun Rou, and Zhang Yuxi.
They headed toward the hotel...
