“Mother! We’re back!” Qiao Mei shouted towards the house as soon as she stepped into the courtyard.
Xu Lan rushed out of the living room without even putting on her coat. She hugged Qiao Mei excitedly and said, “Mei Mei, you’re back! Why didn’t you tell me in advance! Then I could make preparations!”
“Can’t I want to give you a surprise?” Qiao Mei said sweetly as she leaned her head on Xu Lan’s shoulder.
Xia Zhe looked at Qiao Mei and Xu Lan with a hint of jealousy and said, “Mother, I’m back too. Shouldn’t you hug me first?”
“Shoo, shoo, shoo! Why should I hug you? You’re already an adult, yet you still want me to hug you! Go into the house to chat with your father!” Xu Lan said with slight disdain.
Nowadays, Xu Lan was closer to Qiao Mei than her own children! He and Xia Wen no longer ranked highly in her heart and even Xia He had also taken a backseat.
Mo Zhu was already admitted to the VIP ward of the hospital to await the arrival of her baby, just like what Qiao Mei did when she gave birth to Xia Yue. Everyone in the hospital was ready and Xia Fang was also on standby to ensure that nothing would happen to Mo Zhu.
The moment Xia Zhe entered the house, Xia Mao and Xia Jun asked him to go to the side hall with them. They had something very important to discuss with him.
“Some time ago, the old seniors from the military returned to the capital for a gathering and I brought Xia Fan and Xia Xing there to meet all of them. They all think that these two children have very good physiques, especially Xia Xing. She’s definitely a good candidate for the army. If she is nurtured well in the future, she will definitely become more outstanding than you and your father. But they are your children after all so I want to hear your opinion,” Xia Jun said to Xia Zhe sternly.
Other children at the age of four or five only needed to focus on what games to play and what to eat every day, but the children of the Xia family already had to start making plans for their future at this age. There were both advantages and disadvantages about being born into a rich family.
“I don’t want Xia Xing to enter the army. That environment is too harsh. I just want her to grow up like a princess and I don’t want her to experience such tough things,” Xia Zhe said earnestly.
“Like father, like son. Back then, when I wanted to send Xia He to the army to train for a few years, your father said the same thing as me. I didn’t expect to hear actually the same thing from you after so many years,” Xia Jun said happily.
“So does Grandfather agree with what I said?” Xia Zhe probed.
“Of course not. If it’s Xia Xing’s own wish to become a soldier, will you agree to it?” Xia Jun said.
“Yes. As long as it’s something that the children want, I will respect their choices. However, no one can give her any hints about this option or influence her choice,” Xia Zhe said.
Xia Jun nodded with satisfaction. If the children intended to go to the army, they would have to start training from a young age to avoid having a tough time in the future. Xia Wen and his siblings were sent to Xia Xiu for two months of intensive training when they were around six or seven years old.
These two little kids really seemed to have a natural aptitude for it. If they were sent to Xia Xiu for training now, they might turn out to be exceptional talents!
Xia Jun decided to ask Xia Xiu to come up with a training plan first and then send Xia Fan to train with her for a month and get immersed in that kind of environment. As for whether Xia Xing should take the same path, the entire family would consider the decision carefully.
After they had a meal together, the whole family drove to the hospital to visit Mo Zhu. When they arrived at the hospital, Xu Lan realized that only Mo Chou and Liu Shu were accompanying Mo Zhu and Xia Wen was nowhere to be seen.
“In-law, why is it only the two of you with Mo Zhu? Why isn’t Xia Wen around?” Xu Lan asked curiously.
“Your good son! Go and ask him yourself! How do we know!” Mo Chou said angrily.
Mo Zhu hurriedly grabbed Mo Chou’s hand and said, “Father! Don’t say things out of anger!”
Xu Lan gave Qiao Mei a look and Qiao Mei immediately understood what it meant. She took the car keys and left the ward quietly. She wanted to give Xia Wen a call first, so she walked straight towards Xia Fang’s office.
The moment she entered the room, she saw a haggard-looking Xia Fang crouched over the table. This was the first time she had seen Xia Fang look so tired.
“Aunt, why are you sleeping here? Why didn’t you go to the lounge?” Qiao Mei said as she woke Xia Fang up.
“Sigh Mo Zhu’s father will ask me to go and take a look at Mo Zhu’s condition every two hours. I haven’t been able to rest well for the past two days. I was afraid that they would look for me again later, so I didn’t go to the lounge,” Xia Fang said.
