However, because of his young age, he was still a little unbalanced when walking, and half of the water in the cup had already been spilled.
"son?"
Seeing the cute little person in front of him, Mu Yuchen quickly stood up, took the water glass from his hand, put it on the bedside table beside him, and picked him up at the same time.
Mu Xiaocheng stretched out his small hand to touch his father's face, and looked at him with star-like eyes, "Papa... Are you afraid of injections... Pain..."
Mu Yuchen smiled happily, and stretched out his hand to pinch Mu Xiaocheng's cute and immature face, "Dad doesn't need an injection, he'll be fine soon, where's Mom?"
Mu Xiaocheng listened, looked at the door, thought for a while, then looked at Mu Yuchen and shook his head.
Mu Yuchen held his tiny fists with both hands, "Come on, let Dad see if you've grown up a bit? Did Grandma teach you to count?"
"taught..."
Mu Xiaocheng can easily understand the meaning of many words now, and he will soon be two years old. He has inherited Mu Yuchen's wisdom and intelligence, and he even has a similar temperament.
Zhuang Shurong often said with a smile that this Mu Xiaocheng was exactly the same as Mu Yuchen when he was a child!
"Grandma taught you that? Tell Dad."
Mu Yuchen hugged him, his handsome face was full of fatherly pride—
Mu Zirui and Mu Zicheng's two sons made him feel at ease. Mu Zirui's grades in school are very good. Every time he takes the unified examination, he is the first in the school. Wei'er's grades have also improved, brother The sisters can play together very well, and they are also very sensible.
After Mu Zirui put down and came back to finish his homework, he would devote himself to tutoring Qi Wei'er. Occasionally, father and son would play chess and talk together when they were free.
This kind of life has always been what he longed for in his heart, so he especially cherishes and enjoys it.
Sure enough, Mu Xiaocheng also started counting with his fingers...
He got up and changed his clothes, and when he went downstairs with Mu Xiaocheng in his arms, he saw Zhuang Shurong tidying up in the living room.
After Zhuang Shurong retired, she was almost always busy with the children, otherwise she would accompany Mu Tangchuan, practice calligraphy at home, learn flower arranging, of course, she also worked part-time as a visiting professor at a university, and occasionally taught the students some related Law elective courses are only a few classes a week.
This kind of life made Zhuang Shurong feel very fulfilling and meaningful. When she was free, she would occasionally go back to Shengshi or Fuhua Real Estate to see Mu Yuchen or Xi Xiaye.
"Mom, let the servants do these things, why do you need to do it?"
Mu Yuchen's voice came over.
Only then did Zhuang Shurong turn her head to look over, and Mu Xiaocheng quickly called out, "Grandma..."
The one who called Zhuang Shurong so elated also put down the magazines he was packing up and reached out to hug Mu Xiaocheng, but Mu Xiaocheng struggled to get down and started to play with his own.
The ground was covered with a thick carpet, and the house was very warm. Mu Yuchen didn't worry that the little guy would get cold playing on the ground, so he let him play by himself.
"Xia Ye said that you are not feeling well, so let me have time to come and have a look. Just now I saw that you were still asleep, so I didn't wake you up. How do you feel now? You don't have a fever, right?"
Zhuang Shurong said with concern, and as she spoke, she poured a glass of water and handed it to Mu Yuchen.
Mu Yuchen took it over, took a few sips, "It's much better, it's nothing serious, it's just the wind blowing yesterday. In this cold rainy weather, when the cold snap comes, few people can bear it."
"You have to pay more attention to your health. Go out to exercise when you have time. I often force your dad to go out for a walk with me. Your dad's physical examination results also worry me. The doctor said that his physique is a little weak, and he is still weak." Long-term fatigue. Your father has reached the height he is today, and few people may know the hard work he has put in. Alas... "
As Zhuang Shurong spoke, there was some worry in her eyes, and of course, her feelings for Mu Tangchuan.
Mu Yuchen knew that the relationship between his parents was the most simple and simple one. At work, they could be each other's teachers or friends. In life, they were a harmonious couple.
After Mu Yinan passed away, if Zhuang Shurong hadn't retired at home, the entire Mu family's old house would have seemed empty. Sometimes Mu Yuchen didn't want to go back, but now...
"Mom, thank you for your understanding and sacrifice."
Mu Yuchen thought about it for a while, and suddenly said this.
Zhuang Shurong paused for a moment, then smiled, "What did you say? What is sacrifice? In fact, I know that both you and Xia Ye feel a little regretful because of my retreat like this. However, I also thought very clearly. After decades of ups and downs in the political and official circles, I should have calmed down. It should have been time to step down. This life has passed more than half, and I still think that the remaining third of the time will be attributed to The family belongs to the children, and to the husband."
"I don't know when Mom had such an idea. Didn't Dad keep saying that you are not suitable to be a good wife and mother?"
Mu Yuchen was a little moved when he heard Zhuang Shurong's words.
"Why? It's not in conflict with being a good wife or mother. I just do what I think a wife, mother, and grandma should do."
Zhuang Shurong smiled calmly and relaxedly, "I feel that I am living a very happy and comfortable life. I don't have the troubles of work, and it is much more relaxed. Your father also told me that he has never enjoyed the feeling of raising me in his life. , I used to be particularly strong?"
Hearing this, Mu Yuchen lowered his eyes and smiled, "No, my mother has always been a dignified, noble and temperamental good mother in my eyes."
Originally, Mu Yuchen's relationship with his parents was actually a bit cold, but in the past few years, it has improved a lot. Everyone knows that these are actually all thanks to Xi Xiaye.
"Your dad and I used to be very harsh on you. Fortunately, you didn't blame us."
"I understand, especially now that I have become a father, and I understand it more deeply."
As Mu Yuchen said, he slightly clenched the cup in his hand, and looked away at Mu Xiaocheng who was playing beside him, "I now hope that the children's growth path will not be as bumpy as mine."
"Of course Xiaocheng and the others won't. Your father said that when he retires in a few years, he will take Xiaocheng and Xiaorui by himself. As for Wei'er, let her learn some practical things for girls from me."
"Okay, let's look at Xiaocheng first. It's getting late. I went to buy vegetables. It's just right when I come back in the summer night. Your dad will come over to have dinner directly at night. I can't drive by myself with Xiaocheng. He Come back with me by the way."
As Zhuang Shurong spoke, she also got up suddenly...
