顧 - Gu4 - Look After, Attend To

奶奶 - Nai3 Nai5 - Grandmother thinks that we should have just two kids so they can 照顧 - Zhao4 Gu4 - Look After us when we get old. She had eight and it was no problem, so just two should be fine. She tells this to Jenny or I almost every time she sees us. In fact, this is one of the few things that is so important that she tries to cross the language barrier to tell me directly.

As the saying goes, 養兒防老 - Yang3 Er2 Fang2 Lao3 - Raise Children Prevent Old.
