Especially in the first two months, her sister-in-law gave birth to twin sons, which made her very envious.

Hua Zhian, however, seemed indifferent to the matter and did not care about his own feelings at all.

Xie Lanqiao glared at Hua Zhian, who was grinning foolishly to the side. That big oaf was just watching others and laughing like an idiot.

Doesn't he feel any attraction to such a chubby little boy?

Look at that woman, she manages to go to school, take care of her child, and have a baby all at the same time. By the time she graduates from school and her child is older, she can devote herself entirely to her work.

Sigh, in the end it's still my own belly that's letting me down. Xie Lanqiao touched her belly, looking a little downcast, and went off to do her work.

The Hua family knew Xie Lanqiao's feelings and could understand her mindset.

Their family doesn't pressure her; they believe that children will come when the time is right. But she has to figure this out herself.

Tian Guihua had secretly asked Hua Xiangyun about it, and Hua Xiangyun knew that the child would come; it was just a matter of time.

After all, she can read faces, but she's not a goddess who grants children, so there's really no way she can help her solve this problem.

That family has a lot of pride; they even dared to try and take over our yard, but Auntie turned them all down.

Hua Zhian looked at his troublesome grandson and really wanted to slap him. All he knew was how to cause trouble. "So, he remembered what you told him, and he remembered everything that was supposed to be remembered."

Xie Lanqiao thought she should also make arrangements for the area outside the house, so that when she returned home, there wouldn't be a mess, and the old lady would be sad again.

Once Tian Guihua heard that she would have a child, she became even less worried. She had taken care of her son and grandson, so she couldn't possibly worry about her great-grandson too.

Hua Guangzong put on his coat and walked out. Tian Guihua called out, "Everyone at home is busy. What are you going to do again?"

“It was outside my uncle’s house that I was expecting my aunt to move into this big courtyard. My brother’s nephew came down to ask to borrow the house for his wedding.” Li Ji said with a smile, “He said he was just borrowing the house, but when he wants us to move out, it will be so difficult.”

Although I asked someone to help take care of it, I was still worried.

"Hiss!" Hua Xiangyun gasped. Tian Guihua really knew where to pinch when it hurt.

Xie Lanqiao: "Isn't things a bit chaotic back home right now?"

Li Ji also snorted and flicked his fingers as he passed Jiang Yi.

Xie Lanqiao noticed that Jiang Yi's gaze lingered on the women under their bodies for a few moments, and his expression became heated.

If they came back, they wouldn't have anywhere to go, and things would get a bit chaotic.

I had intended to ask Jiang Yin to help me look at apartments, but I never expected it would cause such trouble.

The neighbors all greeted us with smiles, knowing that Hua Zhian and his wife were staying out there, having some free time. Everyone we met was welcoming with a smile.

After cleaning up the broken things and having a hearty meal, the family finally went inside with their bags and sacks.

Of course, there were exceptions. At that moment, Li Han was walking past with my son Jiang Yi, and he even snorted as he passed by.

My aunt was so angry that she gritted her teeth and moved back home with her family.

A smile flashed in Xie Lanqiao's eyes. Comrade Li Ji usually didn't bother with anything, but this time he actually caught up with her.

Li Chaohuan then remembered that, "Didn't we just arrive yesterday? There's nothing bad to see there?"

My aunt hadn't even rented out the house yet, but that family was shameless and would come over to cause trouble every now and then. The tenants just wanted to rent a place to live, and they didn't want to cause such trouble, so they moved in.

"Go ahead and say hello to a few old friends. After all, we won't be spending the New Year here, so let them look after the house for us."

Hua Xiangyun: "...Grandma, he barely said anything to you yesterday, how could you possibly remember anything vaguely..."

"Grandma did say to ask him to go and check if the doors and windows in our yard were closed properly? Did he go and find out?" Tian Guihua gritted her teeth. "We move into this house on weekends, but we don't cook. We usually just eat there."

Hua Zhian: "Is he sure all the doors and windows are locked? Didn't he tell the neighbors?"

Hua Zhian nodded. "That's bad. But to be honest, they chose the wrong location for this house. It's right next to the community. Even if some people don't want to cause trouble, they'll have to think twice."

"That boy has learned his lesson; you've given me a boost," Li Ji whispered to his wife, taking credit. "Now I don't sleep too little or think too much."

"I used to think that living in a small courtyard was noisy. Now I realize that we are living a real life here in Heping County. If there is nothing wrong, the neighbors are still willing to lend a hand."

Back then, the Yang family even sent our old lady to the door. She pointed at my uncle and gave him a good scolding, saying that they would rather leave the house empty than not lend it to their nephew. They said all sorts of nasty things.

Hua Xiangyun, "..."

There's constant fighting and arguing outside the back courtyard. He's actually glad we live in that large, detached house, with fewer neighbors and less disturbance.

Xie Lanqiao knows I act without thinking, so she always gives me a severe punishment. "It's the person who brought this up. When we go back, did he speak to Auntie?"

Li Chaohuan said, "We should help take care of it for a while, and bring us some local specialties when we come back."

After a year of living together, Hua Guangzong quickly got to know the residents of the street well, and even made a few friends. They would play chess, take walks, and go fishing together, and they had already developed a good relationship.

Hua Zhian complained, "Sigh, since the seventh low exam, very few people have tried to come back."

Even from dozens of meters away, Jiang Yi made a point of looking back, knowing that during that year, the Li family had to settle down because of me.

We often hear about people breaking into houses or having their belongings stolen, and there's always someone doing something about it.

Hua Zhian and the others could all see my foolish appearance, so they quickly looked at their eight chubby grandsons to wash their eyes.

"If that detached house gets broken into, do you know what to do?"

Li Chaohuan waited until Hua Xiangyun was embarrassed before saying, "You checked everything when you came over and made sure they were all broken. You also informed the neighbors that they were broken. We are willing to help you keep an eye on them."

What did you say to him yesterday? Is he going to tell you now?

Hua Xiangyun smugly said, "This is also to see who chose the house..."

"Did we move back to our house outside?" Xie Lanqiao overheard this, but forgot to ask because she had nothing else to do.

Thinking that there are fewer idlers outside the city now, Hua Zhian is also worried that during that time, the house might be broken into.

Because of that, the renovation of our house went wrong. We were supposed to move in by ourselves, but now we have to postpone it, since there aren't many children in that other family.

Hearing the old lady's self-pity, Hua Xiangyun smiled and said, "Grandma, that's exactly what he said afterwards."

Li Ji: "I sent a telegram back yesterday, and we should have received it by now."
