Upon seeing the familiar streets and alleys, Tian Guihua and Hua Guangzong's smiles didn't fade as they returned to the courtyard.

The neighbors who were preparing lunch at home all came out and greeted them warmly.

In particular, several households performed well in the last college entrance examination because of the information provided by Hua Xiangyun and others.

Now everyone in this area is eager to access those materials and cherishes them greatly. They are not allowed to lend them out anymore; you can only study them at the street office.

"We were just wondering when you guys would be back?" Liu Tiezhu asked, hands behind his back, sizing up Hua Guangzong. "Why are you all rounder now?"

Hua Guangzong touched his face. "Nonsense, where is it round?"

After saying that, I felt a little guilty. It was mainly because the food at home was too good. In the beginning, I didn't have anywhere to go, so I gained a lot of weight.

Later, after getting to know my neighbors and participating in some activities, I gradually maintained my figure.

"You old man, I didn't say anything to you. It's good to be a little fatter; it's a blessing." Liu Tiezhu said with some envy. How much good food must he have eaten to gain that much weight?

Unexpectedly, the Hua family's children are quite capable. They go to school without their family having to support them, and they even take their elderly parents with them to care for them. Moreover, judging from the family's mental state and clothing, you can tell that they live a good life.

Hua Zhiping: "That's right, Auntie has ruined everything outside the house, so you have to go there to make your way back."

Seeing that everyone outside the house was busy with nothing, Hua Zhiping greeted Geng Shihai and then went to the neighboring courtyard with Jiang Yi.

There's no other way to repay them, so I can only give them less.

But the two of us didn't just leave like that. We took out a piece of mutton from outside the space, along with some main dishes, and brought them directly to the Hua family.

Those words immediately attracted the attention of all the men around.

The courtyard wasn't clean and tidy at first glance, so it seemed Jiang Yin hadn't tidied it up yet.

Jiang Yi took the meat out of the bag and then pulled out a few more dishes. "Those should be the ones your aunt was preparing outside the house. You're planning to take Xiangyun out for a free meal, so we'll leave those for our mutton stew outside the house."

"What are you doing?" Bai Zhaodi, who had just stood next to you, was startled. "You're rushing around like that, did you forget to turn off the stove?"

The key was the same one; Jiang Yi took it out and opened the door with a single press.

After being frightened by the train ride, Li Lijuan would feel extremely panicked if she saw her child behind her.

That's very rare. If Liu Tiezhu had practiced kung fu with his sister, he would have been squeezed out by those young women long ago.

Hua Xiangyun, "..."

With a knowing look in his eyes, Chen Choulou smiled and said, "If he's going home to find you, his daughter-in-law, you'd better hug that chubby little boy after you get here, so you can share in our eldest son's good fortune."

"Since there are no brothers, sisters-in-law, or us outside, he can go about his own business."

Hua Guangzong didn't want to stand out as soon as he returned, so he snorted and said, "They say it's hard to buy leanness in old age, but I've been staying there all day with nowhere to go, so I'm bound to grow bigger."

As she spoke, she helped Liu Tiezhu put on the baby carrier straps, and then held Da Mao Mao in her arms along with the straps. "Is that the older brother or the younger brother?"

Geng Shihai immediately said, "That's only right. Why did they bring those things over? Hurry up and take them to his aunt's place. Don't go empty-handed."

Xun Liangfen immediately boasted, "When we first arrived in Beijing, Lijuan found out she was pregnant again. But she was unlucky and gave birth to twin sons right away."

"What names have you given them?" The neighbor also brought up the baby he was carrying. The two brothers really looked exactly alike when placed together.

"You're quite the little devil, eating and sleeping like a log." Grandma Li patted your hand. "You can only dream of living like this in the future..."

But being able to talk about our carefree days in Beijing is something that would make some people feel better.

Xun Liangfen squeezed through and said, “Look how much they love it. There probably aren’t many babies born where we are.”

Liu Tiezhu pointed to the large white spot under his ear and said, "The one without the white spot is my brother."

"Let's not cook anything for a while, let's take our things and come to Auntie's place."

“That makes sense,” Tian Guihua said, but she didn’t feel any sympathy when she heard me say that. But it’s true, in a new place, you’re familiar with the people and the place. Unlike in Heping County, where you don’t know anyone when you go out, you’d meet up with a few old guys every now and then to go fishing or hiking. Life there was much more restrictive than in Huaguangzong.

Hua Zhiping naturally had no objections. The Hua family didn't have so few people working together, so things would get back on track very quickly.

We've never seen twins outside our yard before, so it's quite a rare sight.

"Is your health still not good?" Xun Liangfen helped Grandma Li up; she seemed to have lost even more weight than when we left.

"There aren't many children born, but none are as rare as those twins," Grandma Li said, looking at the two children with a loving expression. Now that she's old, she sees all those other children as both bad and beautiful.

"Who's got such bad luck? Have you heard the rumors? Apparently, they're going to implement some kind of family planning policy. They used to have so few children." Xu Yinghua said with envy. Her son had just gotten married this year, but then that policy came along, so he could forget about having fewer children and grandchildren.

As for Hua Zhian and us, we take care of the children, and of course, we also serve as laborers.

Hua Zhiping was somewhat moved, "That's too thoughtful of us. We've troubled our aunt and us again."

"The seventh child is called Wei Nan, and the eighth child is called Wei Xi." Geng Shihai gestured to Li Lijuan's concern, "I will be watching the children from outside."

Jiang Yi touched the kang (heated brick bed), and it was clear that he hadn't warmed it for us yet. Now, all we needed to do was add some more firewood, and we could move in right away.

"Oh, there are two more big-haired babies," Bai Zhaodi squinted at the children in Liu Tiezhu's arms. With one on his back and another in his arms, the Hua family had gained another member but lost another.

As for Hua Xiangyun, as soon as she stepped into the courtyard, Hua Guangzong took her chubby grandson away to show him off, while Hua Baoguo pulled her back into the courtyard to clean up.

I remember last year, you attended the young master's wedding and received wedding candy from his family, which also meant that a newborn baby was on the way.

However, if one's own daughter-in-law doesn't have that kind of good fortune, then it's just not possible...

Seeing my wife and me approach, Hua Xiangyun was about to order us around. Before you could even open your mouth, Xun Liangfen immediately took the things from our hands and said, "Why did they come over? Did they mess up the house outside?"

Xu Yinghua felt a chill in her heart, and her gaze towards the two children became even colder. She turned and ran home.

"Look at that kid, he knows how to keep even the worst things to himself," Xun Liangfen said mischievously. "You don't have any at home, but you brought them all back."

Upon entering the room, they thoughtfully laid out the kang (a heated brick bed) for us, and even put some vegetables in the kitchen, and prepared oil and salt for us.

The sight of the two chubby-cheeked children made some bad people envious.
