As the sky gradually brightened, the Zhang residence slowly came to life as well.
Zhang Tie and Linda and the others did not stay in bed for long. Linda and the others in particular were rather thin-skinned. On Zhang Tie's first day back, if his wives rose too late, they would inevitably become the subject of gossip. So they got up at the usual time. After washing and dressing with Zhang Tie, they had breakfast with Bai Suxian, then went together to the main residence, where Zhang Tie's parents lived, to pay their respects and inquire after their health.
Paying respects to one's elders morning and evening was a rule observed by all prominent Hua Clan families, and Linda and the others had long been accustomed to it.
"Do Shini and Shixia usually sleep until this late too?" Zhang Tie asked Linda as they walked along the road toward the main residence. Even at this hour, none of his five children had risen.
This was only the second time Zhang Tie had met his five children, while yesterday had been the first time they had truly seen Zhang Tie's real body. The five children were all a little over three and not yet four, and to them, Zhang Tie was much like a stranger. On their first day meeting, apart from calling Zhang Tie "Daddy," the little ones had paid him little attention. After dinner that evening, they had basically played for a while under the care of the nannies and the Zhang Family's childcare tutors before going to sleep.
Of the five children, there were three boys and two girls. Linda and Fiona had each given birth to a little girl this time. Linda's daughter was named Zhang Shini, while Fiona's daughter was named Zhang Shixia. Beverly, Ai Mei,
