Chapter 305: The House of Kindness
Grandma Hu Huaiqiu had three children, but by the third generation, things weren’t particularly prosperous.
Besides the eldest, Ding Zhiwei, the second child Ding Zhijie and the youngest Ding Simei each had only one child.
Ding Zhijie’s family has a boy who just started his senior year of high school, looking forward to college. The lad, with a mouth full of fuzz and a tall stature, appears quite gentle, although in his childhood he was incredibly mischievous, and was much doted on by Grandma.
The youngest Ding Simei has a daughter who just started the seventh grade, a lively little girl. Just entering junior high, she’s still excited about the new environment, not yet "worn down" by school life, and still acts like an elementary school student, speaking loudly, silly and playful, bouncing around, bringing laughter to the entire family.
Grandma wanted them to have another child to provide a playmate, but the couple were in firm agreement and outright refused.
As the children grew older, Grandma could no longer dictate their choices, so she let them be. Thankfully, the eldest had several children.
The eldest had been divorced once, first had two children with his ex-wife, and then had three more with his current wife, thus bringing hope to the entire family.
However, Grandma was somewhat critical, jokingly calling them a mixed bunch.
But having some was better than none, and since they didn’t often return home, she let it be. Children and grandchildren have their own good fortune.
When the knock on the door was heard, Ding Simei’s daughter was the most eager, rushing up in three steps to open the door, completely forgetting her mother’s instruction to ask who it was before opening.
But today it wasn’t too big of a problem, after all, the whole family was at home, and there was no fear of running into any bad people.
