Chapter 501
But then again, she hadn't known Zhou Yueshen for long back then. She just simply had a good impression of him, taken by his handsome face, without any deep emotional attachment.
Therefore, she couldn't empathize with what Fu Qianqian was feeling.
After Fu Qianqian left, Si Nian went into the room and rummaged around for her and Zhou Yueshen's marriage certificate.
She sighed with emotion, realizing that she had been married for so long and even had her own biological son.
Whatever happened to the promise of pain-free motherhood?
Perhaps it was because of what she had said back then that when she gave birth to Little Four, it actually wasn't too painful. It was all within a bearable range, but Si Nian knew clearly that this was due to her good physical constitution.
For most mothers, giving birth was still an incredibly arduous and agonizing experience.
Otherwise, she wouldn't have been so terrified in the past.
However, when you meet someone you truly love, you might genuinely and willingly bear his children.
It was such a definitive choice.
Si Nian fell into a slight daze. As her fingers traced over the photograph, she suddenly noticed the man's ID number next to it.
Today was his birthday.
Si Nian suddenly rushed out for a bit.
The children hadn't finished school yet, and her parents had both gone to the shop. Little Four claimed he didn't like his father, yet he followed him around all day, putting on the airs of a little boss.
As a result, she was the only one left at home.
Si Nian liked to sleep in every morning, so she usually woke up quite late. By the time she finished her meal, the children would be back at noon.
If Fu Qianqian hadn't shown up at her door bright and early today, she would probably still be sleeping.
When the children returned, they saw Si Nian bustling about in the kitchen.
Ever since Eldest Child's cooking skills had become increasingly exquisite, and with Mother Lin also being here, Si Nian rarely spent time cooking.
Today was a rare occasion for her to cook.
Zhou Zedong's eyes flickered, and he went into the kitchen to help.
"Mom, are you cooking today?"
Si Nian hummed in agreement, in a good mood.
Zhou Zedong was already in his first year of middle school at the best First Middle School in the city center. He wore a light black tracksuit, dressed entirely in black, with his hair cut very short, looking clean and sharp.
His dark eyes were astonishingly bright, already giving off the vibe of an aloof, top-tier student on campus.
Only when he called her "Mom" did Si Nian feel that he was still just a child.
"I'll help you."
He didn't know what special day it was, but seeing Si Nian so happy, he figured it must be a good day.
He went to change his clothes and entered the kitchen to help wash the vegetables.
Second Child was leading Jiang Jiu in practicing martial arts in the courtyard. His punches were now quite imposing, and he really couldn't stand Jiang Jiu's frail and delicate appearance.
Just today at school, Jiang Jiu had argued with a girl and even got pushed to the ground!
Second Child felt this damaged his own prestige. He was furious and determined to train Jiang Jiu.
Jiang Jiu was always a three-minute wonder with whatever he did. Seeing him learn, Jiang Jiu wanted to learn too, but since they hadn't lived together before, his efforts were sporadic at best, and he ended up learning nothing.
Now, he couldn't even hold a horse stance for a few minutes before his legs started trembling. He looked like he was struggling immensely.
Yaoyao was already a little lady, and she had recently fallen in love with planting. Every day, she followed her grandparents to study how to grow vegetables and fruits.
The courtyard was filled with car tires, foam boxes, and some flower pots, all piled high with soil.
She was currently watering her strawberry plant. It wasn't growing very well and had only borne three fruits. One was large and had already turned white, while the other two were misshapen. Regardless, it wasn't thriving.
The first thing she did every day upon returning home was to check when her strawberries would turn red.
Yaoyao stared at them for a long while before leaving, completely satisfied.
Second Child led Jiang Jiu running past, but suddenly Second Child stopped.
"Second Brother, what's wrong?"
"Look, a strawberry," Second Child said, pointing at the fruit.
Jiang Jiu looked over as well. Sweating profusely from running, he suddenly felt thirsty and couldn't help but swallow hard.
"No, no, we can't eat it. We definitely can't eat it; little sister planted this." Clearly, Second Child also wanted to eat it very much, but he didn't dare.
His sister was terrifying when she got mad.
Not daring to look any longer, he hurriedly pulled Jiang Jiu away.
Da Huang had recently realized that he was no longer young and had started to lose weight. Especially after Xiao Hua arrived, he paid even more attention to his appearance.
He had been running along with them, but seeing the two stop and go, he trotted over as well. He spotted a little white thing, sniffed it, and found it smelled rather fragrant.
It seemed edible.
Da Huang bit it off in one gulp, happily carried it in his mouth over to Xiao Hua's nest, and nudged it toward her with his paw.
Then, he turned and walked away with an air of aloof coolness.
