Wang Yun hung the red envelopes for the two children on the headboard of the crib and bent down to play with the two babies.

She looked at the two cribs placed side by side, then suddenly remembered something and asked, "Xiao Qiao, what are your plans for tonight? A pair of twins, plus An'an, three children in total. Can you manage to take care of them all night? Do you need me to stay and help you out?"

“We don’t need your help. Cheng Bodong is capable; he can take care of her,” Fang Qiao said. “An’an will sleep with us too. She’ll be able to sleep through the night before the New Year, and no one will have to worry about her at night.”

"Will he be able to manage?" Wang Yun was still a little worried: "What if both children cry at night? Will he be able to soothe them? Don't make yourself tired from getting up to hold the children. You can't get up to hold the children now."

"Don't worry, he can do it."

Cheng Baidong is really something now; he can retrieve objects from a distance. Holding one child in each arm, he controls the automatic feeding with the bottle—his skills are top-notch.

She was much less skilled; after more than a year of cultivation, she was still stuck at the second level of Qi Refining.

At first, it was alright. Although her cultivation progress was slow, she was at least making progress. But ever since she became pregnant with Chuan Chuan and Yue Yue, the two little ones have been absorbing spiritual energy in her belly as frequently as fetal movements. No matter how hard Fang Qiao tried to cultivate, her absorption rate of spiritual energy could never keep up with the rate at which the two brothers consumed it.

In just a few months, my cultivation level has not only failed to improve, but it would be good if it didn't even regress!

Sometimes Fang Qiao even suspected that their growth and development in her womb relied not on the nutrition delivered by the umbilical cord, but on spiritual energy!

Otherwise, why would it consume so much spiritual energy!

As expected, these two kids were born with cultivation, although they were only at the early stage of Qi Refining, which was still better than An'an, who was still an ordinary person.

Unfortunately, even a baby with innate cultivation is still just a baby. Apart from not crying or fussing, it still needs to be fed, its diapers changed, and all the necessary care cannot be omitted.

In winter, the days are short and the nights are long. Wang Yun felt like he hadn't been there long before the sun was about to set.

She got up to say goodbye, and Gao Ping came out to see her off.

Wang Yun exchanged a glance with him, her pretty face slightly flushed, and took the initiative to walk ahead: "Let's go."

"Okay." Gao Ping escorted her from behind, reminding her, "Watch your step."

"Know."

Wang Yun stepped over the threshold and turned into the alley.

The neighbors to the west were moving their belongings out. A bare wooden bed frame covered only with a straw mat stretched across the alley, completely blocking the already narrow passage.

Unable to proceed westward, Wang Yun and Gao Ping had no choice but to detour eastward.

After Wang Yun left, Fang Qiao also heard the noise of the neighbors moving.

Fang Qiao breathed a sigh of relief, finally relieved that she no longer had to be Li Dan's neighbor.

As for where Li Dan's family would move to next, Cheng Baidong also told her.

First, they will move to the bungalows behind the family compound. When the new factory starts construction, the factory will send Liu Dongliang to supervise the construction, and Li Dan will go with him.

Cheng Baidong originally wanted to dismiss Liu Dongliang, but since it was Li Dan who made the mistake and Liu Dongliang was not directly at fault, the factory director did not agree to Cheng Baidong's request to dismiss him, but conceded that Liu Dongliang could be transferred far away.

After several rounds of negotiations, the factory manager agreed to let Li Dan's family move away from next door first, and then transfer Liu Dongliang away once the new factory started construction.

The new factory is located in a remote area, and Beijing is neither a large nor a small city. If you try to avoid it, you might never see it again in your lifetime.

Fang Qiao was fairly satisfied with the factory's handling of the situation.

It would be enough if they never saw each other again in this life or death. After all, in modern society, with the law hanging over her head, she didn't necessarily have to go to extremes to kill them all.

Having been given a second chance at life by divine favor, Fang Qiao firmly believes in the saying "good people are rewarded." Therefore, she treats others kindly in her daily life and doesn't like to fuss over trivial matters.

Narrow-minded people are calculating and petty, which often leads them down a narrow path. Over time, they become even more narrow-minded, living a more and more stifled life. They often develop illnesses from holding in their anger.

People with a broad mind are at ease, have good energy and spirit, are less prone to emotional illnesses, and often live longer than those with a narrow mind.

Unfortunately, a kind horse is ridden and a kind person is bullied. The less she cared, the more some people took advantage of her.

Therefore, you should still be mindful when necessary, and it's never too late to let go of resentment after you've finished being mindful.

Fang Qiao was so happy to have successfully driven Li Dan away from her neighbor's house that she drank an extra half bowl of wine at dinner. She didn't realize it at the time, but when night fell, she felt her chest was about to explode and that's when she realized how bad it was.

It's also her fault for being inexperienced. When she gave birth to An'an, she didn't have much milk. She drank a lot of lactation soup, but it didn't help at all. It wasn't until An'an was three months old that she achieved a balance between supply and demand. She had never experienced the feeling of breast engorgement.

Who would have thought that with this pregnancy, she would become a "big milk cow"? She only drank a little more than half a bowl of red bean porridge before she felt uncomfortable from the bloating. Feeding the two babies didn't help, and in the end, all the milk went to Cheng Baidong.

I'm so embarrassed!

The following day, Cheng Baidong began to spread the good news everywhere.

First, he went to the post office to send a telegram to his hometown, then he sent a letter to his former close comrade-in-arms, and finally, he took a box of sugar cakes to Fang Qiao's parents' house.

The alley where the Fang family lived was as muddy as ever. The water that had frozen into ice at night would thaw again when the sun shone on it, and you would slip and fall as soon as you stepped into it.

Cheng Baidong used his spiritual power to wrap the soles of his feet, thus avoiding stepping in mud.

As I entered the alley, I happened to see a young man and a middle-aged woman coming out.

The two walked and talked, the woman talking while the young man listened with an unhappy expression, and they were talking about blind dates.

Just as the three were passing each other, the woman suddenly slipped. The young man rushed to help her but couldn't catch her. Cheng Baidong, quick as a flash, grabbed the woman's arm, thus preventing her from falling into the icy mud.

She stood up, leaning against the wall, still shaken, and apologized to Cheng Baidong: "Thank you so much just now, otherwise that kick would have broken my bones."

Cheng Baidong did not take credit: "It was just a small favor, no need to thank me."

The woman looked up and noticed Cheng Baidong's face: "Oh, it's you! I was so busy talking to Jin Xin that I didn't even notice. Why did you come alone? Did Xiao Qiao give birth?"

Cheng Baidong accompanied Fang Qiao to her parents' home several times. Each time they met neighbors, they would nod and nod, but they basically never spoke to each other.

He recognized the man; he knew he was a neighbor, but he couldn't place him.
