The courtyard: the atmosphere of human life

Xiaoping stayed in the hospital for 3 days, and Xiaogao didn't come back until the last day.

Because of Xiaoping's repeated warnings, neither Zhong's mother nor Zhong Yunxing mentioned her affairs to the families of Zhong Yunhong and Zhong Yunsheng.

As for Darong, although Xiaoping didn't ask, she knew that Darong could not hide it. Zhong Yunxing and Zhong's mother took care of her in the hospital every day, and Darong could not have not known about it.

After Xiaoping was discharged from the hospital, Zhong Yunxing took her to receive psychological counseling every day. After a course of treatment, she was finally able to stabilize her emotions with the help of medication.

"Xiao Ping is in good condition now. She just needs to take medicine on time and she doesn't need to go every day."

After Ruyi took the child home in the evening, Zhong Yunxing finally had time to rest and chat with Darong.

"The illness is cured, but what about her family? If the problem between her and Xiao Gao cannot be eased or resolved, her illness will never be cured."

Darong said softly with a worried look on her face.

"Actually...actually, I asked her, and she said she would not get a divorce..."

Zhong Yunxing didn't know what to say, he could only stare at the sporadic lights outside the window in silence for a long time.

That generation’s concept of marriage was much more persistent than ours.

For us, divorce may just represent an unsuccessful relationship experience, but for them, it seems to be an unacceptable stain in their lives.

So Darong understood Xiaoping's thoughts, and Zhong Yunxing could also understand her persistence, but they both felt that such a life seemed to have lost its meaning.

The time passed quietly after that. That summer, An An, who was one and a half years old, was finally able to keep Darong company and go to the community to chat and gossip with a group of grandmothers.

"I heard in the community today that SARS has broken out again in the south. It sounds scary."

As soon as Darong came back from the community with An An in her arms, she quickly shared the information with Zhong Yunxing.

"No way? If there really was a SARS outbreak, wouldn't it be reported on the news?" Zhong Yunxing had just finished cleaning the house and was sitting on the sofa making a cup of tea.

"There is a grandmother named Wenwen, her hometown is Jianghan, and they say that people from her hometown said so... You are right, it is not reported in the news, so it may not be true."

When online information is well developed, it is always difficult to distinguish true news from false news. Darong and Zhong Yunxing are not intellectuals, and now that they are older, they have even less ability to distinguish.

After Darong chatted with Zhong Yunxing for a few words, she carried An An back to the house to play.

"Look, this rumor has been debunked. It was said that a doctor deliberately spread the rumor and has been arrested and reprimanded." Zhong Yunxing handed his cell phone to Darong.

"Hey, now we don't know which one is real and which one is fake. The fake one is better. Our little An An is still so young, so we don't need to panic."

At that time, neither Zhong Yunxing nor Darong realized that it was not the news that was fake but the so-called rumor-busting.

People who only live in the present have no idea what will happen in the future.

The auspicious wedding ended successfully in the golden autumn season of October.

A newly married couple completed an important transformation in their lives under the witness of their relatives and friends, and Zhong Yunsheng and Wenying finally welcomed their new identities.

The law firm where Zhong Yunsheng works is one of the well-known large firms in Yutian. Although it was fined a large amount of money after the last turmoil, fortunately it did not suffer any damage to its vitality, and now it is doing well and without any pressure.

"Ruyi, what level are you at now? Are you ready to move up to senior level or take the CPA exam?"

On the day Xiangrui brought Xiaoya back home, Zhong Yunsheng and Wenying both came to Zhong's mother's place, waiting for them to return.

Ruyi had nothing to do in the afternoon so she thought of coming early to pick up An An. She happened to meet Zhong Yunsheng and was asked about her "homework".

"Ah? Hehe...well...no." Ruyi replied awkwardly, hesitatingly.

"You're already over 30, and you haven't planned to take the CPA exam yet. Girls can't just muddle along like this. How can you become a partner if you don't make progress? Look at your boss, she's also a lesbian, and she's already a partner..."

Ruyi sat on the sofa like a good girl, listening to Zhong Yunsheng's lecture, while Wenying sat beside him, trying not to laugh and practicing with him.

"Indeed you can control her. I can tell her a hundred times that she is incapable of managing things." Darong looked at Ruyi's honest look and joked with great amusement.

After listening to the lecture obediently, Ruyi quickly took An An and escaped from Zhong Yunsheng's teaching area. She really had no ambition, especially after having An An, the word "study" seemed to have thorns and she didn't even want to hear it.

"What's wrong? Why are you pouting as soon as you come in?" As Ruyi walked in holding An An, Xiao Huya noticed that Ruyi was unhappy, so he quickly stepped forward and took An An and asked.

"My old man scolded me today and told me to take the advanced or CPA exams. I was going crazy, but he also said, 'You are already over 30, you can't stop making progress, and girls can't do that either.'"

Ruyi took on this tone and put one hand on her waist, imitating the words that Zhong Yunsheng used to train her.

"The old man scolded you like this? I don't believe it, hehe..." Little Tiger Teeth couldn't help laughing when he saw Ruyi's expression.

"Anyway, they're just scolding me, they're just scolding me!"

Although Ruyi said she was not convinced, she did not dare to contradict Zhong Yunsheng, and she did not dare to give up. At least she bought two books to recharge herself.

Regardless of whether you can pass the exam or not, at least you should show a good attitude so that you don’t get scolded too much.

Xiangrui’s wedding had just passed, and Darong’s mother’s birthday was approaching. The only day each year when the children could get together the most, besides the Chinese New Year, was the old man’s birthday.

"Sister, I have already booked a hotel. I have booked a large room at Hongfuju."

Xiaoying knew that Darong always had to take care of the children, so she arranged things for Darong's mother's birthday in advance.

Ever since Ruyi and her family grew up and got married, the family has grown in size and the house has become crowded. Every time Darong's father and mother celebrates her birthday, they would directly book a dinner party in a hotel.

The four children of Darong also agreed that the two sons would host Darong's father's birthday, and the two daughters would host Darong's mother's birthday.

"Okay, that's great. I'll transfer the money to you when the time comes."

The sisterhood between Darong and Xiaoying has always been very good, so they never care too much about such things and just listen to whoever makes the arrangements.

On the day of Darong's mother's birthday, the whole family gathered in the hotel's private room, except for Linlin's family who did not show up.

"Her mother-in-law bought another villa and is busy decorating it. Linlin can't get away."

Xiao Ling didn't know whether she was trying to help Linlin out or taking the opportunity to show off, so she quickly notified Linlin about the decoration of the new villa.

"Wow, this mother-in-law's family is so nice. Is it Linlin's name?"

After the third brother heard it, he followed up with another sentence without thinking.
