Chinese Family

回想起来，我才明白爸爸同时养育四个调皮捣蛋的孩子得有多大的耐心。

Huíxiǎng qǐlái, wǒ cái míngbái bàba tóngshí yǎngyù sì ge tiáopí dǎodàn de háizi děi yǒu duō dà de nàixīn。

Looking back, I realize how much patience my father must have exhibited raising four rambunctious children simultaneously.

当时我要是没离开家乡去上大学, 很可能就会像我兄弟姐妹一样, 在本地结婚了。

Dāngshí wǒ yàoshi méi líkāi jiāxiāng qù shàng dàxué, hěn kěnéng jiù huì xiàng wǒ xiōngdì jiěmèi yīyàng, zài běndì jiéhūn le。

If I hadn't moved away for university, I probably would have married someone from my hometown, just like my siblings.

他们决定清算并平均分配遗产，这无疑是最明智的做法。

Tāmen juédìng qīngsuàn bìng píngjūn fēnpèi yíchǎn, zhè wúyí shì zuì míngzhì de zuòfǎ。

They decided to liquidate the estate and divide the inheritance equally, which was definitely the most sensible approach.

万不得已，我们可能需要搁置争议，共同商定爷爷的护理计划。

Wàn bù dé yǐ, wǒmen kě'néng xūyào gēzhì zhēngyì, gòngtóng shāngdìng yéye de hùlǐ jìhuà。

If push comes to shove, we might need to put aside our differences and jointly agree on the care plan for Grandpa.
