The two of them had known each other for many years, but this was the first time they were in the same room. They held hands and rested their heads on each other’s shoulders. They placed the small alarm clock on the desk and sat on the bed. They whispered to each other as they waited for the new year.
In the capital city, the Xia family’s old residence was very lively. Even Old Master Xia and Old Madam Xia were energetic. They sat in thickly cushioned armchairs and smiled kindly as they watched the younger generation.
This year, Xia Yiwei and Hou Zi returned to the old residence for the new year. Accompanying them were a pair of twins who could run faster than rabbits around the courtyard.
Hou Zi, who had washed his hands clean, no longer had the gangster aura he had in the past. Every night, apart from when he had to socialize, he would get off work early and come back to accompany his wife and children.
In his words, he, an orphan, had never had a home. Now that he finally had a home, he would be struck by lightning if he didn’t care about his blessings.
It was a colorful world outside, but Hou Zi, who was worth tens of billions, had already gone around the colorful world. He was tired and finally knew how to appreciate home.
Xia Yiwei, who had waited for him for more than ten years, finally tied down the wild young man who once dared to whistle at her and pursue her.
Although they had once been so tired and resentful, to the point of wanting to give up, they had too many ties from when they were young. No matter how tired they were, they couldn’t leave each other. Now, the family of four was living a happy life. The couple cherished each other so much that they didn’t even talk back to each other anymore.
A child’s childish cries suddenly came from outside. Hou Zi, who was still talking to his uncle a second ago, changed his expression and apologized. He quickly got up and jogged to the courtyard.
On the other hand, Eldest Aunt said to Xia Yiwei, "Da Bao is crying outside. Xiao Bao must be bullying Da Bao again. Hurry up and take a look."
Eldest Aunt was carrying a child in her hand. The baby was the son of the fourth son of the family, Xia Yuzheng, who was also Xia Yiwei’s younger brother. He had just turned one year old and was still staggering.
The child had already fallen asleep. He was nestled comfortably in Eldest Aunt’s arms. His small mouth would mutter from time to time. His pink face was clear and delicate, especially his eyelashes. They were thick and curly. He was an extremely beautiful little boy.
Eldest Aunt was carrying a child, so it was naturally inconvenient for her to take care of another. Seeing that her niece, Xia Yiwei, had not moved, she thought that she had not heard anything and reminded her with a smile.
Glancing outside the window, Xia Yiwei smiled and said, "There’s no need for me to do anything. Hou Zi will take care of the child."
Although the Xia family’s old residence was lively this year, the fourth son, Xia Yuzheng, and his wife didn’t go home because of work problems. They only sent their children back to the old residence. The third son, Xia Yuyi, was absent too. His wife brought their six-year-old son back to the old residence. In addition, Little Six and Xia Jinyuan were also missing.
Hearing this, Eldest Aunt smiled. She was very elegant. Even if she smiled, she looked especially dignified. "You’ve suffered enough. You should let him take care of the children. The children need to be closer to their father so that they’ll grow up confident."
Xia Yiwei tucked her black hair behind her ear and smiled gently. "Don’t worry. Ever since Da Bao and Xiao Bao were born, Hou Zi wishes he could stay at home and accompany the two children every day. Sometimes, I’m the one who’s annoyed and pushes him out to work.
"He’s already in his 40s, but he can still play with the two children. Sometimes, I think there’s another child in the family."
At the mention of that, the wives of Xia Lingxiao and Xia Yiting laughed. Their sister-in-law said that she despised her husband, but there was no disdain on her face. There was only satisfaction.
The hardships that she experienced in the first part of her life had come to an end. It was the hardships that she hid from her family and didn’t dare to say. The sweetness now was all to make up for the hardships of the past.
