In the summer of 2023, Qu Lianjie is now 38, and even Guan Juer is 30 years old.
Time has not left any trace on her face, but she looks more mature. Walking outside, you can't tell that she has given birth to two children.
However, in terms of personality, life has forced her to become a tiger mother, and her good girl has long since disappeared. Because Qu Lianjie is such a salty fish, he is destined not to be particularly harsh on his children.
He even secretly took Qu Hancong's children to play games and eat fried food. The two of them got along like buddies. Guan Ju'er also responded to the national policy in 2018 and gave birth to a second child.
This time it was a daughter, which made it a good word. Qu Lianjie didn't care. He liked both sons and daughters, and even liked his daughters more.
However, Grandma Qu and Zheng Fen prefer their grandson to their granddaughter. They almost spoil Qu Hancong to the heavens at home, like picking the moon for the stars.
When it comes to grandma and grandpa's house, not to mention, the words that Guan's mother taught her daughter Guan Ju'er since she was a child are of no use to her grandson.
Therefore, Guan Ju'er can only be stricter with his son, otherwise he will become a playboy who doesn't understand anything in the future.
Qu Lianjie had just returned home from get off work that day and was sitting on the sofa chatting with his wife:
"Guan Guan, it's too hot this summer. When I came back just now, I felt like eggs could be spread on the hood of the car!"
"Oh, don't mention it. I took a martial arts class with Chen Chen in the morning, and I was sweating after just two steps~" Guan Ju'er agreed.
Qu Lianjie immediately thought of something and said a little worriedly: "It's such a hot day, why haven't mom and grandma come back from their walk~"
"I guess I met an old friend. Don't worry. Isn't the nanny following?" Guan Ju'er smiled.
"Dad~" Before anyone arrived, the voice came over first.
When Qu Lianjie heard this voice, his face instantly became helpless. His son had been very naughty since he was a child. He did everything he didn't dare to do, such as going to the house to lift tiles and attracting cats and dogs.
Grandma Qu and Zheng Fen are quite sensible. Although they dote on their grandson, they definitely don't dote on them. When Qu Lianjie and Guan Ju'er discipline their children, they never interfere.
And Guan Ju'er also has a headache for his son who is always itchy if he doesn't cause trouble.
"Dad, where's my sister~" Qu Hancong threw himself into his father's arms as soon as he came in. He, the eldest young master, was not afraid of anything but his mother.
Because Guan Ju'er really beat him. When he was five years old, Qu Hancong was naughty and tried to cook in the yard while his parents weren't paying attention, which almost caused a fire.
In the end, Guan Ju'er was so angry that no one tried to persuade him, so he forced himself to use Qu Lianjie's belt to spank Qu Hancong's buttocks until they were swollen for several days.
"My sister was picked up by your aunt just now~" After saying this, Qu Lianjie pushed his son out with a look of disgust on his face.
In this high temperature of 35 degrees above zero, this kid is now like a small stove, especially since he was sweating all over from playing crazy outside just now.
When Qu Hancong heard that his sister was not at home, he stood up and shouted: "Then I also want to go to my aunt's house to play with my sister and cousin~"
Guan Ju'er glared at him directly: "I think you are looking for a beating!"
"How old are you? You know how to play crazy every day. Go back and memorize the words left by the teacher in today's English class a few times. I will check it later~"
"Dad~" Qu Hancong did not dare to refute his mother's words. The memory of being beaten when he was five years old was deeply engraved in his mind, and he could only look at his father with pleading eyes.
When Qu Lianjie saw this, he smiled and smoothed things over: "We can't play for a few more days. In less than two months, he will officially start his study career, which will last at least 16 years~"
"Just get used to it, I don't care~" After Guan Ju'er said that, he turned his head away and no longer looked at the father and son.
Qu Lianjie also knew that his wife was not angry, so he turned to his son and said:
"Let's go, I'll ask Uncle Hongyu to take you to grandpa's house. Your aunt and sister are both there~"
"Yeah, let's go play with aunt~" Qu Hancong liked this quirky aunt very much.
After the children left, the couple continued to chat. As they chatted, they talked about the current situation of Guan Ju'er's friends.
Fan Shengmei is now Fan Shengmei. She also married Wang Baichuan in 2017. However, the marriage is a matter between two families. She has not been able to harden her heart. Almost half of her monthly salary is secretly given to her parents' family. Send it over.
At first, Wang Baichuan didn't care if he could make money, but because everyone needs to wear masks, his business has been affected. Things that he didn't care about at the beginning have now become a flashpoint for quarrels.
In addition, the Queen Mother really did not like Fan Shengmei. In the end, the two had no choice but to divorce two years ago, and the child was raised by Wang Baichuan.
Some of the property that was divided after the divorce was almost completely deceived by the Fan family for various reasons when Fan Shengmei finally came to her senses.
Because the Fan family had almost spent all the money. After all, it was not money earned by themselves, so they would not feel bad about spending it. Therefore, Fan Shengmei did not get much back even if she filed a lawsuit in the end.
So after hanging around for so many years, while everyone else moved on, she returned to where she came from, continued to rent a house, and met two roommates who were just graduated from the post-2000 generation.
Qiu Yingying's situation is actually better. She married Ying Qin in 2018, and has become much more stable after the marriage. Although it is easy to change one's nature, she is at least not so impulsive, and her life is quite happy.
Qu Xiaoxiao was doing well. Although she was not liked by her parents-in-law, she was still a little smart. In addition, she gave birth to a grandson to the Zhao family. Zhao Qiping's parents gradually accepted this daughter-in-law.
As for their relationship with Qu Lianjie, as time goes by, the brother and sister have relaxed a bit.
Of course, the most important reason is that the building materials business is no longer easy to do. Qu Datou shut down the company completely two years ago.
In addition to keeping part of the money in her hand for retirement, the rest was shared equally between her two children. Of course, Grandma Qu complained about such a division, but thinking that her grandson was indeed not short of money, she didn't say much.
Andy is considered the best among them all. Not to mention that after marrying Bao Yifan, the Bao Group was successfully transformed and listed through her planning.
…
As time went by, Qu Lianjie completely handed over the power of the company when his son was 30 years old.
I took my wife Guan Ju'er around all day long to travel around, and even had nothing to do, and even liked to cook!
Although Qu Hancong was not aggressive enough, he was at least more than conservative, and the company did not have any troubles under his leadership.
Then Grandma Qu passed away first, followed closely by her father Qu Datou, mother Zheng Fen, Guan Fu, Guan Mu, Lao Tan, Andy, and her friend Wang Xu...
By the time Qu Lianjie was 90 years old, almost all his relatives and friends had passed away. Now even his wife Guan Ju'er, who he had lived with for 60 years, couldn't bear it anymore.
Qu Lianjie, who was sitting outside the luxurious ward, was secretly wiping tears, his mind filled with memories of his life with his wife.
At this time, 59-year-old Qu Hancong walked out of the ward, leaned into his father's ear and whispered:
"Dad, my mother woke up and said she wanted to see you~"
After saying this, Qu Hancong's tears flowed down unknowingly. He understood what his mother's waking up this time meant, and it was nothing more than the four words "returning to the light".
Qu Lianjie here heard the words and wanted to stand up, but felt that his legs could not work hard.
So he said with some trembling: "Chen Chen, help dad up~"
"Hey, please slow down~" Qu Hancong helped his father walk into the ward.
After Qu Lianjie came to the ward, he kicked out all his children and grandchildren, and held the old hand of his wife of 60 years:
"Guan Guan, you go first, I'll be back soon~"
Guan Ju'er still felt sorry for her husband, and joked slowly: "That can come later. I don't want to see you so early. I have almost seen enough in the past 60 years!"
The two chatted for more than ten minutes, and the vitality in Guan Juer's body was also passing away little by little.
Finally, he managed to pull himself together and said, "Brother Lian Jie, please wake up Chen Chen and the others~"
"Okay~" Qu Lianjie nodded with red eyes.
Finally, accompanied by his lover, children and grandchildren, Guan Juer slowly closed his eyes.
Less than half a year after his wife left, Qu Lianjie also died without any illness after having breakfast...
(PS: The finale of Ode to Joy is over, and a new chapter will begin soon. It has been decided to write about the human world.
The protagonist is Sun Qianchao, and the heroine should still be Yu Hong. Although she did something immoral about the house, no one can make mistakes without being a sage.
Among the female characters in the human world, except for Zheng Juan, compared to Wu Qian and Qiao Chunyan, I still prefer the gentle and considerate Yu Hong in the early stage. )
