Reborn in the 70s: Pampered by Regiment Commander

Chapter 1586: Chapter 1045: Clarity (Part 2)

Knowing that Eldest Uncle’s Wife already had it tough with four children, I always blamed her for not taking my brother and me along with her. In fact, Uncle’s situation was much better than that of Eldest Uncle’s Wife.

In name, Eldest Uncle’s Wife lived with her family, but in reality, all the expenses were earned by herself. Third Brother’s maternal grandfather’s side basically didn’t help much.

Speaking of which, Big Brother, Second Sister, Third Brother, Fourth Sister suffered in their childhood just as much if not more than my brother and me. However, their struggles were physical, while my brother and I inflicted a lot of misery upon ourselves due to external resentment.

Third Sister-in-law, I’ve figured it out. I still want to go back to City A. I want to be by Mom and Dad’s side. I can’t let them keep worrying about my brother and me. I will make sure I live well and make them stop worrying about me!"

As she kept talking, how did it come to her wanting to go back again? Wasn’t this job just transferred over here? Chuxia looked at Zhou Nanping in utter speechlessness, feeling truly defeated by her.

Zhou Nanping felt quite embarrassed: "Initially, I hadn’t figured it out, just wanted to escape, but when Fang Xiang came over and found me like this, I suddenly realized where I went wrong.

Escaping here couldn’t solve problems. If I don’t care anymore, what is there to fear? Cherishing the present and showing filial piety to the elders is what truly matters, Third Sister-in-law, am I right?"

Chuxia glanced at her a few times and knew she truly figured it out this time, so she smiled at her happily: "Alright, I support you!"

"Child, you’re doing the right thing!" Zhao Yulan also looked at Zhou Nanping with a face full of comfort, "If your mom knew about your decision, who knows how happy she’d be!"

As a mother herself, Zhao Yulan deeply sympathized with Liang Xiaohong; both children were so worrisome, what kind of feeling is that inside?

Sometimes, she even thought, although the Zhou family is strong now, back in the day, it wasn’t any easier than what Lin Baohe and she went through. No matter how hard it was, they were able to keep their children by their side. But what about the Zhou family? Feeling of having children fostered elsewhere, what was that?

Especially when seeing the children not walking the right path, how painful must that feel inside?

Even Old Master Zhao and Old Lady Zhao, who usually didn’t comment on the Zhou family’s matters, praised Zhou Nanping a few times, making her little face excitedly flushed.

After her emotions finally calmed down, she looked seriously at Chuxia: "Third Sister-in-law, please don’t notify the family yet, I want to go back to give Mom a surprise."

"Alright." Chuxia agreed without a thought, "But you can’t go back alone, when you decide on a day to leave, let Uncle Wang take you."

"I want to leave early tomorrow." If possible, Zhou Nanping would love to leave immediately, but she wasn’t the same impulsive person she used to be, so she held off for a day.

"You really can’t wait once you’ve made up your mind..." Chuckling to tease her, Chuxia then looked at her inquisitively, "You’ve been here for so long and haven’t gone out for a stroll. I only have one class this afternoon, how about I accompany you for a turn after class?"

Zhou Nanping was intrigued by Chuxia’s proposal, but felt a bit embarrassed to bother her, thus hesitated not knowing what to do.

Seeing her expression, Chuxia could easily guess her thoughts and immediately laughed: "Alright, I know what you mean. Then it’s settled, I’ll be back to find you right after class..." She looked towards all the elders, "The weather is so nice, how about we all go together?"

"Forget it, we’ve been out strolling before, staying at home feels more comfortable, you should call those little kids to go out and have some lively fun together." Old Lady Zhao rejected the idea without a thought, seeing Old Master Zhao’s expression, it was clear he completely agreed with her.

Chuxia then looked at her own mom and dad.

"We’re not going either, feeling quite lazy these days, not keen to move." Seeing her daughter looking at her, Zhao Yulan immediately spoke. Ever since having the two little ones, her daughter had been caged at home, being so young, must have driven her to feel trapped, giving her the chance to go out and unwind.

Originally, if Zhao Yulan hadn’t said that, Chuxia would have thought they genuinely didn’t feel like moving. But such diligent people claiming to be lazy, it was clearly lying.

After thinking it over briefly, she understood.

"Grandma, Grandpa, Dad, Mom, I declare, I really am not feeling trapped, honestly want the family to go out and have some fun, if you’re declining just to give me the convenience, it’s totally unnecessary.

Anyway, I planned to let Lin Mengran and the others join too, they can help take care of you all, since staying at home is idle anyways, shall we all go together?"

"Sure!" Old Lady Zhao agreed first. With the granddaughter speaking this way, being too pretentious wouldn’t make much sense and besides, she wasn’t a pretentious person to begin with.

Old Master Zhao’s smile also deepened: "Call Grandpa Wan, Aunt Yin, and Elder Aunt Qi too."

"Okay!" Chuxia responded joyfully, by now she understood the elders’ thinking, letting them enjoy separately, not even the best scenery could attract them, but with the younger ones together, it’s a whole different story.

She felt grateful to realize this not too late!

The big family had a joyous afternoon, and the next morning, Wang Zhongliang sent Zhou Nanping back home.

Yet, not long after Zhou Nanping left the next day, Fang Xiang came again, after pondering for a night, she regretted her impatience, and knowing she couldn’t inform her family, she embarrassedly came again.

Chuxia happened to be home, thus let her in, looking at her with a half-amused expression: "Come to apologize?" (To be continued.
