Chapter 381 - 380: [Host, Host, I Got Your Reward Approved~]

That day, they moved houses.

The whole family moved to a courtyard home.

Grandma Sang, to take care of Tuantuan and to better teach Yueyue painting, packed her clothes and moved to Gu Jia Ning’s courtyard home.

Grandpa Sang: Why am I left alone again? No, semi-retirement isn’t enough, I have to be fully retired. This way, wherever my wife goes, I can follow her. And I can wholeheartedly teach Xingxing.

After testing Xingxing, Grandpa Sang was surprised to find that Xingxing had an extremely high talent in machinery and research, with a very high IQ.

"Our Xingxing is a genius."

"That’s great, I finally have a successor."

"Xingxing, what do you want to do in the future?"

"I want to build airplanes, I want to fly airplanes!" was Xingxing’s childish voice.

"Okay, Great Grandpa will teach you. In the future, Xingxing can fly a very powerful plane built by themselves, okay?"

"Okay." Xingxing answered with certainty.

After moving to the courtyard home, Gu Jia Ning asked Mrs. Chen to continue being in charge of the meals, and she increased her salary.

Mrs. Chen agreed readily.

The Gu Jia Ning family was completely settled in their own courtyard home.

You know, living in a courtyard home just feels different from living in a flat.

It’s quaint, with a sense of tranquility, as if living away from worldly affairs, not having to worry about mundane matters.

That night, Gu Jia Ning slept very well.

Xingxing and Yueyue, the siblings, shared a room, though there were two beds, so they were companions.

Tuantuan started sleeping with Grandma Sang because she had to take care of him later.

Fortunately, Tuantuan now only needed to drink formula milk, not breast milk.

Moreover, Tuantuan was very well-behaved, seldom waking up at night or crying.

The next day, Grandma Sang praised, "Our Tuantuan is really a beautiful and obedient child, Great Grandma likes you very much."

When Gu Jia Ning got up to wash, she could see through the carved window that Sheng Zexi had been up for a while, and was training with Xingxing in the courtyard.

By the time she finished washing up, Mrs. Chen had already prepared breakfast.

After breakfast, Gu Jia Ning and Sheng Zexi took Xingxing and Yueyue to the cemetery.

Since they had come to Beijing, they definitely had to pay respects to Grandma.

Xingxing and Yueyue should also pay respects to their Grandma.

Unexpectedly, when the family arrived at the cemetery, they saw a familiar person.

Sheng Zexi saw the person’s figure and pursed his lips, not showing a stern face like before, but his eyes held complicated emotions.

"Grandpa~"

It was Xingxing and Yueyue who spoke first.

Just as Sheng Xinhao was wiping his wife’s tombstone, he suddenly heard this call.

Turning around, he saw Xingxing and Yueyue.

His face immediately lit up with a smile.

Sheng Xinhao stood up, and simultaneously lifted Xingxing and Yueyue into his arms.

Despite Sheng Xinhao’s age, he was a retired soldier, outstanding in ability.

Also, after the surgery Gu Jia Ning performed on him, his hands had recovered very well, and were back to normal.

So now he could lift the sturdy Xingxing and Yueyue at the same time.

"You came to pay homage to your Grandma?"

"Yes."

"Good, good."

Meanwhile, Sheng Xinhao saw Sheng Zexi and Gu Jia Ning, and greeted them, "You’re back?"

Though father and son meetings were not as tense as before, they were still somewhat awkward.

Facing Sheng Xinhao’s inquiry, Sheng Zexi lightly answered, "Hmm," and didn’t say more.

"Good, good, focus on developing in the Beijing Military District thereafter."

"As for me, I might retire soon."

Sheng Zexi frowned, "You want to retire?"

This person always had a strong desire to control power, didn’t he?

When he previously had issues with his hand, he hid it for fear of having to step down.

Moreover, although his age was about right for retirement, he was in a position where continuing was feasible.

Sheng Xinhao nodded, "I’ve grown old, I should step down and make room for the young ones."

Sheng Zexi pursed his lips, realizing something.

In families like theirs, junior members with outstanding abilities can only rise if the older generation steps down.

Otherwise, junior promotion is continually suppressed.

With Sheng Xinhao stepping down, it would benefit Sheng Zexi.

For a moment, Sheng Zexi’s emotions were even more complicated.

What is this? Suppressing his promotion then, now stepping down for it?

Was it a moment of reflection?

Or making amends?

Sheng Xinhao, rather than talking more, guided Xingxing and Yueyue to pay respects to their Grandma, saying, "I’ve grown old, and I’m too lazy to bother, living a leisurely life isn’t bad either. If you need, I can help take care of the children."

Finished speaking, Sheng Xinhao looked at Gu Jia Ning.

"Xiao Ning, Dad wants to say sorry to you."

"In the past, Dad shouldn’t have said those things to you."

"I was too narrow-minded and had too strong control issues."

"Of course, I’m saying this not asking for forgiveness, just apologizing for my mistakes."

Gu Jia Ning was silent, unsure of what to say.

Forgive?

But Sheng Xinhao’s harsh words back then were indeed excessive.

Want her to leave Sheng Zexi, leave behind two kids.

Yet, not forgive?

Looking at the seemingly remorseful father-in-law now, offering help when needed.

After all, this father-in-law now seemed to have accepted her as his daughter-in-law.

Although Gu Jia Ning didn’t care much about this, recognition was better than rejection.

What comes next, let time tell.

After paying respects, when leaving.

Sheng Xinhao said, "If there’s time, bring Xingxing and Yueyue to visit the old home."

"After all, it’s your home too."

Sheng Zexi paused, "Let’s see."

Finished, he left with his wife and children.

Sheng Xinhao watched his son’s family leaving, then turned to the photo on the tombstone, of that elegantly beautiful woman.

"A wan, I’m sorry I didn’t take good care of our son."

"In that place, you must hate me."

"Now I’ve awakened, is it too late?"

"A wan, you never visit my dreams, are you blaming me too?"

In the cemetery, Sheng Xinhao let out a long sigh...

[Host, host, I’ve gotten a reward for you~]

Upon returning to the courtyard, Gu Jia Ning heard a system mechanical voice, which sounded somewhat cheerful.

Gu Jia Ning’s eyes lit up, "What reward is it?"

Since receiving an offer to be a professor at Beijing University, and about to take up a role at Beijing First Hospital, the system proactively claimed Gu Jia Ning’s mission progress was rapid and high quality.

So it would request rewards for Gu Jia Ning from the main system.
