September 2016.
Jiangzhou Children's Palace.
Su Mingzhe and Tian Yulan brought their two daughters to participate in a singing competition. As soon as they parked the car, they ran into an acquaintance.
"Old Su, these two are your daughters? You are so lucky."
Yan Peng greeted Su Mingzhe's family with a smile and looked at Su Mingzhe's two daughters with envy.
Just like most parents, those who have sons miss their daughters, and those who have daughters miss their sons.
My daughter-in-law and her children are well-prepared, but I find it too noisy at home.
"Lao Yan, sister-in-law, is this Ziyou? We haven't seen you for a few years, and you've grown so big."
Su Mingzhe also greeted Yan Peng's family.
Although we haven't seen each other for many years, we are friends who we grew up with, but it won't be awkward to meet again.
Moreover, it was not that Su Mingzhe stopped playing with Yan Peng, but that Yan Peng himself gradually distanced himself from his circle of friends.
During the crisis of 2007 and 2008, the Yan Peng family's business was also affected and they lost a lot of business.
Later, with the influence of the Internet, the Yan family could only continue to rest on their laurels and support themselves half-deadly.
Fortunately, the Yan family still owns some commercial real estate. Even if they rest on their laurels, they can still eat and drink for the rest of their lives without having to worry about it.
However, Yan Peng gradually became alienated from Su Mingzhe, Lao Jin and others due to family changes.
"What grade is Ziyou in?"
"Fourth grade, where are your two daughters?"
"A fourth grader and a second grader."
"This competition is organized by Fengfan Primary School."
"Come out and play football when you have time, don't just play games all the time."
Su Mingzhe and Yan Peng chatted wordlessly.
Tian Yulan and her two daughters were also chatting with Yan Peng's wife and son.
Before you know it, the Sail Cup Song and Dance Competition is about to begin.
Yan Peng's son and Su Mingzhe's daughter were taken backstage by their respective teachers to prepare.
Su Mingzhe and Yan Peng also took their wives to find seats and sit down.
"We haven't seen each other for a few years. The Yan Peng couple have changed a lot."
Tian Yulan took Su Mingzhe to the second row and sat down, sighing with her man.
"You want to say that Yan Peng has become a greasy uncle, and his wife has also become a yellow-faced woman, right?"
Su Mingzhe was also sighing in his heart.
Compared with ten years ago, when Yan Peng just graduated, he was still youthful and high-spirited, but now Yan Peng is already a very greasy 'uncle'.
Yan Peng's wife, a little nurse who used to blush when greeting people, now has a sharp-tongued look.
Compared with Yan Peng and his wife, Su Mingzhe and Tian Yulan's appearance has not changed much.
Needless to say, Su Mingzhe, although his eyes are mature and steady, his skin and figure are still as strong as when he was in his twenties.
And because Tian Yulan has accompanied Su Mingzhe to various celebrity circles for many years and insists on exercising, she gives people the impression that she has both the graceful and noble demeanor and the charming and enchanting style of a young woman.
"The beauty is fleeting, and the youth is gone."
The Sail Cup Song and Dance Competition started soon.
Su Mengmeng performed a piano solo.
Su Tongtong performed group ballet.
These children's singing and dancing competitions naturally seemed particularly childish to Su Mingzhe.
But looking at the children performing seriously, Su Mingzhe felt that these children were particularly cute.
Of course, some are cute and some are not.
Several little guys performed abnormally. I don't know if they were nervous, but they sat on the stage and burst into tears.
Teachers and parents were in chaos.
The other parents in the audience started laughing unkindly.
"It's our daughter's turn."
Tian Yulan, this girl, was actually a little nervous. She hugged the man's arm tightly with both hands and watched her daughter perform a piano solo on the stage.
"Don't worry, Mengmeng's level is enough to compete in college competitions. This kind of elementary school competition is very easy."
Su Mingzhe is very calm. He has enough confidence in his child's level.
Su Mengmeng learned music theory from Su Mingzhe when she was two or three years old. By the time she was four, she could play more than ten songs on the electronic keyboard.
Now Su Mengmeng is ten years old, eleven years old. She has participated in various competitions more than ten times and won many awards.
Participating in a sailing cup is a no brainer.
Su Mengmeng came on stage, saluted, sat down, and started playing.
The music like flowing clouds and flowing water flowed over the performance hall, attracting the attention of all the audience, regardless of men, women, old and young.
The song ends.
The applause sounded like thunder.
"Mengmeng, you are awesome!"
Tian Yulan didn't expect that her daughter would be so powerful. She applauded her with both hands, her palms turned red and she didn't want to stop.
"Okay, my daughter has stepped down."
Su Mingzhe reached out and grabbed the woman who was still very excited. Her little girl Su Tongtong hadn't come on stage yet. It was such a waste of energy that she didn't have the energy to encourage her for a while.
Su Tongtong's group ballet was organized by the school's music teacher.
A total of twelve children were dressed in professional ballet costumes, and they all had a red mole on their eyebrows.
As the music played, the children began to dance.
These children are relatively young, basically at the second or third grade level of primary school.
As you can imagine, their dance moves are actually just jumping around, walking and running, which is far inferior to the "seniors" in fifth and sixth grade.
But even so, the audience still did not hesitate to give their applause.
In the blink of an eye, the more than two-hour singing and dancing competition was over.
Tian Yulan and Su Mingzhe took their two precious girls and went to a nearby shopping mall to play around. They bought a lot of rewards for the two girls before returning home.
Well, go back to Nan Jianlong and Cai Juying's home.
Today, Su Mingzhe and Tian Yulan came out with their two daughters, and their youngest son was taken away by Cai Juying.
After Nan Jianlong retired last year, he basically couldn't rest. Today, when Cai Juying came back with her child in her arms, she excitedly pushed the car out to show off to a group of veteran cadres in the community.
When Su Mingzhe came over with Tian Yulan and his daughter, Nan Jianlong calmly returned with the stroller.
Su Mingzhe saw it first and said hello: "Dad."
Tian Yulan also quickly shouted: "Dad."
In the TV series, Tian Yulan is always called Nan Jianlong 'Uncle Nan'.
However, in this world, Tian Yulan was grateful to Nan Jianlong for introducing a good husband to her. After giving birth to her first daughter after marriage, she and Su Mingzhe changed their names and called her dad.
"Well, they're all here."
When Nan Jianlong saw the two of them, he responded with a smile, stretched out his hand to take the little guy out of the stroller, and then asked Su Mingzhe to move the stroller into the house.
"Grandpa."
Su Mengmeng and Su Tongtong were much more enthusiastic when they greeted each other.
"Hey, Mengmeng and Tongtong are here too."
Nan Jianlong was more affectionate with his children than adults. He took his two granddaughters into the living room and took out the gifts he had prepared long ago.
Su Mingzhe sat beside him and Tian Yulan went to the kitchen to help Cai Juying cook.
Nan Jianlong looked at the adults and children, and then frowned and asked Su Mingzhe:
"Have you visited Lili and the child in the past few days?"
Nan Jianlong also knew about Nan Li's role as Su Mingzhe's mistress. After all, he was Nan Li's biological father. Nan Li and Su Mingzhe applied for a marriage certificate in Xiangjiang and gave birth to a child. It was difficult to hide this kind of thing. Live in Nanjianlong.
"Dad, I go there basically every day."
Su Mingzhe couldn't explain his ability to 'split into two'. He could only simply say that he really passed it every day.
"Um."
Nan Jianlong saw Su Mengmeng and Su Tongtong coming over and quickly ended the topic.
He didn't want to cause chaos in the world because his daughter was Su Mingzhe's mistress.
Therefore, over the years, only a few people knew about Su Mingzhe and Nan Li.
Nan Jianlong has also been hiding it from others.
The family had a dinner.
Su Mingzhe left with his wife and children.
Nan Jianlong and Cai Juying said they were going for a walk, but in fact they took a taxi and headed towards Nan Li's residence.
Zhao Na now lives with Nan Li in an old Western-style building.
When Nan Jianlong rushed over, Nan Li, Zhao Na, and the children had just returned from an outing and were preparing to have dinner.
Zhao Na gave her ex-husband a cold look and didn't even respond.
But the little guy was particularly enthusiastic when he saw Nan Jianlong:
"Grandpa."
"Pengpeng, grandpa is here to see you."
Nan Xiaopeng took Nan Li's surname, and Nan Jianlong always regarded this child as Miao Miao who would inherit the Nan family's legacy.
"Dad, have you eaten?"
Nan Li stood up from the dining table and was about to invite Nan Jianlong to eat with her when she saw Nan Jianlong wave his hand:
"I've eaten, you can eat and don't worry about me."
Nan Li didn't want to be polite to her own father, so she took her mother and son to have dinner slowly.
After dinner, Zhao Na led her grandson to the study room to supervise her grandson's study.
Only Nan Li stayed and chatted with Nan Jianlong.
The father and daughter actually had nothing to say.
Nan Jianlong is now retired and has nothing to do except wandering around.
Although Nan Li is nominally the boss of Ark New Energy, in fact, Su Mingzhe has always been managing the company.
Nan Li can get at most 100 million in after-tax salary every month, as well as year-end bonuses and dividends.
In addition, Nanli's beauty salon has also hired specialized professional managers to help take care of it.
Now Nan Li also belongs to the "rich and idle person".
"Dad, you came over today, are you okay?"
Nan Li was inevitably suspicious when she saw that Nan Jianlong had been keeping quiet and just talking about things with her.
It's now past eight o'clock in the evening, and Nan Jianlong should usually go home and watch TV.
Nan Jianlong was about to fight again when he heard the sound of opening the door.
Then, Su Mingzhe appeared at the door.
"Azhe, dad is here."
"Ah, dad is here."
Su Mingzhe didn't expect that this little old man would follow him here just after he left his house.
Nan Xiaopeng in the study heard the sound and ran out, saying excitedly:
"Dad, my mother and grandma took me to the amusement park today. My mother and I rode the Ferris wheel, the roller coaster, and the pirate ship..."
"Are you afraid of my son?"
Su Mingzhe picked up his son. Although the boy was only seven years old, he was already one meter three and weighed more than eighty kilograms.
"I'm not afraid, but grandma didn't dare to sit. Only my mother sat with me."
Nan Xiaopeng and Su Mingzhe, their biological fathers, are really affectionate.
Su Mingzhe held his son and chatted for a while. When Nan Jianlong saw that he didn't want to leave, he handed his son over to Nan Li and asked her to take her son back to the study to study first, while he sat with Nan Jianlong.
In this family, Su Mingzhe and Nan Jianlong are the real sons-in-law.
"Dad, did you come over this late at night to do something?"
"Well, something happened."
Nan Jianlong sighed, and then said: "Didn't I tell you before that I have a student who is a leader in the district?"
"Well, I remember, his surname seems to be Li."
"She came to see me yesterday and said that she wanted to talk to Lili about something and wanted me to introduce it."
When Nan Jianlong said this, the frown on his forehead directly squeezed into several gullies:
"From what she said, it sounds like she has some ideas about Ark New Energy."
