My courtyard shelter

Many years later, Ji Yin finally completed his father-in-law's autobiography, "Xu Dong Memoirs", which took him nearly thirty years.

His dedication is evident.

Even Lele couldn't help complaining that her husband spent less time and energy on his children than her father, and her father definitely found the right son-in-law.

Xu Dong read the final revised draft as soon as possible, and then found his second son-in-law overnight.

"Dad, how is it? Is there anything else that needs to be revised?"

Ji Yin asked casually.

Xu Dong took off his glasses: "No need, your memoir is very well written. It gives me a sense of history and grandeur. With your current level, you can revise history."

"As long as you are satisfied!" Ji Yin breathed a sigh of relief, and then changed the subject: "Hey, Dad, to be honest, the government is preparing to revise world history not long ago. I have signed up and was assigned to the Asia-Pacific Group."

As early as five years ago, in the second year after the successful manned landing on Mars, "Asia-Pacific" officially withdrew from the historical stage and was replaced by the newly established "Blue Alliance".

So far, except for the Tianzhu Peninsula, the whole world has ushered in a great union for the first time, which is unprecedented.

Human civilization has thus entered a new era.

"World history?" Xu Dong asked in confusion.

"It is to revise the history of countries around the world, focusing on the hundreds of countries that have disappeared in the past half century. No matter what, they are also part of human civilization and should not be forgotten.

Ji Yin explained quickly.

"You can leave your name in history by revising history for the previous dynasty. "Xu Dong smiled and nodded.

Ji Yin followed up and said, "Dad, I don't have any big pursuits. Marrying Lele is the luckiest thing in my life. It is because of her indulgence that I can concentrate on my favorite work and have no regrets in my life."

"You still have a conscience!" Xu Dong said unhappily, "Over the years, Lele has been taking care of six children by herself and worrying about their marriages. She is more tired than her mother at the beginning."

"Dad, don't worry. When this memoir is published, I will be able to relax. At that time, I plan to make up for Lele and take her around the world."

"What will happen to the children after you leave?"

"Little Pea and Little Pumpkin are already in college, so you don't have to worry about them. As for Little Tiger and Little Yan, they can stay at their eldest brother's house for a while. ”

There are six children in their family. The eldest and the second are married. The second became a father last year. Besides, the grandparents are here. It’s just a couple of pairs of children to eat. It’s not a big deal.

As for the father-in-law, the old couple are almost 80 years old. They have a pregnant granddaughter-in-law and a bunch of great-grandchildren. There is also the old birthday girl Xu Ma. The couple is too embarrassed to disturb them.

Xu Dong shook his head: "Let Xiaohubao and Xiaoyanbao come to my place for dinner. They are not children. They can help us take care of the little ones."

After nearly a dozen years of branching out, the old Xu family has completely become a big family. The oldest great-grandson is in elementary school.

"Dad, no need. Lele has spoiled his brother and sister since they were young. They are both troublesome and like to play. It’s better not to disturb your peace."

Ji Yin smiled bitterly and shook his head.

"Okay, you can arrange it yourself! "

Xu Dong said.

...

In October, Xu Dong's autobiography became a bestseller as soon as it was released, causing a great sensation, and also received high praise from many experts and scholars.

Some people call it the encyclopedia of contemporary society.

A month later, the Ministry of Education announced that the book "Xu Dong's Memoirs" would be included in the recommended extracurricular books for college students, which was equivalent to official recognition.

Although Xu Dong was no longer in the age of pursuing fame and fortune, he was still so excited that he couldn't sleep after hearing the news.

Then on November 8, it was Xu Ma's 100th birthday. At Xu Dong's With careful care, the old man actually survived his eldest son.

Xu Bin had a poor health and died the year before last. According to his will, he left all his property to his second grandson, Xiao Huzi.

On the birthday, many guests came to the manor early in the morning to celebrate his birthday, and all the younger generations came back.

It was bustling, with about a thousand people in total.

Xu Dong had already said that if anyone in the family dared to be absent, they would not come back in the future.

In the bedroom, Xu Ma took over the great-grandson from the great-grandson's wife. The little guy just turned one year old and looked chubby and cute.

"Dabao, what is the name of this... child?"

The old man was too old, and it was normal for him to have a bad memory. He often forgot what he had just said in the last second and needed others to remind him constantly.

"Grandma, this is the second child of Xiao Haizao's family. The nickname was given by you personally, Wenwen."

Dabao answered loudly.

In a blink of an eye, he was also a grandfather.

"Wenwen? Why can't I remember? "

Mother Xu shook her head in annoyance.

Yang Lina smiled and interrupted, "Mom, there are so many children in the family. Not only you can't remember them, but I often make mistakes. Yesterday I confused Ningning from Erbao's family with the little killer whale from Lele's family."

"Mom, it's okay if I make a mistake. They are all your great-grandchildren anyway." Niu Niu echoed.

"Sister-in-law, what you said makes sense. There will be more and more younger generations in the future, and I guess I will be even more unable to remember."

Duan Xinyue cooperated.

Yang Lina shook her head helplessly: "I'm old and useless."

"Mom, you're only in your early seventies. Look, grandma has lived to be a hundred years old. You and my dad have a long life ahead of you!" Xie Dailin comforted her hurriedly.

"Your grandma is really blessed. I can't compare with your dad." Yang Lina replied with a smile.

Mother Xu narrowed her eyes when she heard this: "Mom has worked hard for half her life. She finally retired, but she encountered various disasters. Fortunately, our family has the support of the third child, so she can enjoy a few years of peace and happiness."

As the younger generation grew, the old lady gradually became the old lady Jia in Dream of the Red Chamber. I don't know how many people envy her life in her later years.

A group of people surrounded Mother Xu, and everyone chatted and chatted, and soon it was lunch time.

Lele personally took a group of company backbones to make a ten-layer cake for grandma. One layer represents ten years, and ten layers are exactly one hundred years.

After all, there are many people in the family and many guests have come. If the cake is small, it will not be enough to share.

Before the banquet started, Xu Dong asked the younger generations to line up according to their seniority and age, and then they knelt down and kowtowed to Xu Ma as they had rehearsed in advance.

The scene was packed with more than a hundred people, which looked quite shocking.

"Happy birthday to Grandma (great-grandma, ancestor), good health, and younger and younger."

"Get up, get up quickly!"

With the help of Yang Lina, Xu Ma walked straight to the front of the crowd, looking at the large group of younger generations in front of her, she smiled happier than anyone else.

"Thank you Grandma (great-grandma, ancestor)!"
