Chapter 151 Zhang Pengfei's Sacrifice
Chapter 151 Zhang Pengfei's Sacrifice
Qian Yizhen led Jun Ge and Jun Yan, and Wang Min led Xiang Xiang and Gang Gang to the Yang residence to meet up with Yang Ruolan, Fei Yan and Fei Xiang. The six children quickly started playing together after meeting. Jun Yan and Fei Yan were five years old, Jun Ge was four years old, Xiang Xiang was three years old, Fei Xiang was two years old, and Gang Gang was the youngest and had just learned to walk.
Yang Ruolan said: "The children are so happy playing together, I also like to play with the children. Yizhen, the yard of the third courtyard is so big, you can find someone to build some children's entertainment facilities. In the future, the children will come to my house to play. It will be easier to raise children in a group.
The cost of the children's facilities, together with the renovation and repair costs of the Yang Mansion, will be settled together. Yizhen, don't always think about saving money for me. The last thing I lack right now is money."
Qian Yizhen said, "Ruolan, I understand what you mean. We need to create a good living environment for children, but we cannot just pursue material enjoyment. Spiritual life is more important. Children not only need to eat well, dress well, and play well, but also need to develop good habits of loving reading, learning, and thinking from an early age. How about building a library while building entertainment facilities?"
"Yizhen is still thoughtful. Let's do it according to your wishes. If you want to do it in a grand way, I am not afraid of spending money. I am now in the same fate as Wang Min. My husband is in prison, and the father of the children cannot accompany Feiyan, Feixiang, Xiangxiang, and Ganggang to grow up. I can only give them some material compensation.
I think we should make up a lie and say their father has gone abroad. We must not let Feixiang, Feiyan, Xiangxiang and Ganggang know that their father is a criminal." Yang Ruolan said sadly.
"Yang Ruolan, things have already happened, so just face the reality calmly. The most important thing is to raise the children. Believe in yourself. Even without a man, we can still raise the children and live a good life." Wang Min comforted her.
"Not only should we not let the children know that Xie Liqiang and Qian Zuhua are in jail, we should also not let anyone else know about it, especially neighbors, colleagues, friends, and the schools and kindergartens where the children go to. Otherwise, gossip will drown you out," Qian Yizheng said seriously.
After dinner, Wang Min took Xiangxiang and Ganggang back to Kuang's house, and Qian Yizhen took Junge and Junyan back to Chen's house. Ming Yuanhui had not returned from his mission yet.
Grandma Chen Yalu said: "Yizhen, Yiyun's son Maomao will be 100 days old in three days. Ask Yiyun how he is going to celebrate. I want to prepare a pair of silver bracelets for the child."
Grandma Chen Yalu held Junyan in her arms and continued, "In traditional Chinese culture, a child's 100th day is an important folk activity, mainly referring to the th day after the child is born. On this day, the family will hold celebrations, usually including banquets to entertain relatives and friends.
This custom emphasizes the blessing for the healthy growth of children. It is hoped that through this ceremony, people can pray that the children can grow up healthily and live a long life.
The custom here is that when a child reaches his 100th day, he has to stay at his grandmother’s house. The grandmother will hang a copper coin around the child’s neck, symbolizing the blessing for the child to live a hundred years.”
"Grandma, you still remember it clearly. I have too many things in my mind and forgot about it. I will call Yiyun and see how she arranges it."
"Yizhen, at my age, the only things on my mind are the children. It's useless to think about other things. I can't do anything, haha."
"Grandma, you always have children in your heart. You are a great grandma." Qian Yizheng gave grandma Chen Yalu a big hug in a coquettish manner. Seeing this, Junyan and Junge also hugged their great-grandmother's thighs.
"What are you four doing? It's so late. Junyan and Junge should go back to the house and sleep." said my great uncle Lu Kaipu.
After hearing the voices, the nanny Xia Juxiang came over and took Junyan back to the house to wash and sleep. Qian Yizhen carried Junge back to the bedroom and found that Junge had fallen asleep on her shoulder.
Qian Yizhen gently placed the military pigeon on the bed, took off his shoes, and covered it with a blanket.
Qian Yizheng tiptoed out of the bedroom, closed the door, went to the yard, and called Qian Yiyun.
"Yiyun, you are still awake. What have you been busy with recently? I am also very busy. We haven't seen each other for about a month."
"Sister, I haven't slept yet. I just got back to work after my maternity leave and took on a case. I've been a bit busy lately. Zhang Pengfei went on a mission and hasn't been back for a week."
"My eldest nephew, Zhang Yuanyi, will be celebrating his 100th day in three days. How are you going to celebrate? Grandma Chen Yalu is planning to buy gifts for him."
"Sister, do babies have to celebrate their 100th day? It's enough to celebrate their full month. I think it's too much trouble. Can we skip it?"
"Okay, but it's best not to lose face for the elderly. You can ask Zhang Pengfei and your parents-in-law for their opinions first."
"Okay then, I'll ask them and give you a reply tomorrow. It's getting late, so go and get some rest." Qian Yiyun hung up the phone and looked at the calendar. Her son's 100th day was on Sunday.
The next morning, while having breakfast, Qian Yiyun said to her parents-in-law, "Mom and Dad, Zhang Yuanyi's 100th birthday is coming up this Sunday. I want to take Maomao back to the Chen residence. My sister called and said that grandma keeps talking about wanting to see Maomao."
"Go, but be sure to protect your child and don't let him be frightened, because the baby's hearing system is very fragile, and he spends most of his time at home, so he may not be able to adapt to the noise from the outside world. Therefore, when you go out, you should try to avoid taking your baby to noisy environments to prevent him from being frightened. Keep warm and avoid catching a cold. Pay attention to hygiene and protection to avoid cross-infection of bacteria." said Yiyun's mother-in-law.
"Mom, I understand. I will pay attention."
On Sunday, Qian Yizhen drove Qian Yiyun and her son and nanny Wang Zhaodi to the Chen residence. Qian Yizhen carried Maomao to the bedroom of grandpa and grandma and put Maomao on the bed. Grandma Chen Yalu happily sat down beside the bed and started talking to the baby.
Sister Hao Xia gave Maomao a five-poison bib that she had embroidered herself. The so-called five-poison bib is a small bib worn by babies with five poisonous insects embroidered on it with colored threads, and a small gourd is embroidered on the upper left or right corner of the bib, with the mouth of the gourd facing the five poisonous insects.
Grandma Chen Yalu gave Maomao a pair of silver bracelets, granduncle Chen Haoyu gave Maomao a zodiac jade pendant, and Qian Yizhen gave Maomao a longevity lock.
Junyan and Junge washed their hands clean and gently touched their little brother. Junhua, supporting the army, loving the army and strengthening the army, walked in lightly, fearing to disturb the little brother.
The sumptuous 100-day banquet was set on the table, and everyone was about to toast to celebrate when bad news came: "Zhang Pengfei was seriously injured while on a mission to capture a gunman and is receiving emergency treatment in the hospital."
Ming Yuanhui, Qian Yizhen, and Qian Yiyun immediately rushed to the hospital. After eight hours of rescue, Zhang Pengfei's life could not be saved.
Zhang Pengfei's mother cried until she was hoarse. Qian Yiyun supported her mother-in-law with tears streaming down her face, not believing that this was true. Zhang Pengfei's father looked at his son's body and murmured, "Where there is fighting, there will be sacrifices."
