When Chen Jianguo came home in the evening, he looked at the things on the coffee table and asked curiously, "Who came?"

Before Su Xia could speak, Erbao exclaimed, "It's our neighbor's great-grandmother!"

Upon hearing the name of his neighbor's great-grandmother, Chen Jianguo knew it was Grandma Dou, who rarely went out.

"She came to see you?"

"Yeah, they asked if I was pregnant, then told me to take good care of myself, and then left!" Su Xia summarized in one sentence.

Chen Jianguo didn't speak, but opened the paper and glanced at Su Xia absentmindedly.

After a long pause, he asked, "Honey, are you sure you don't have any relatives on your parents' side?"

Su Xia....

She glared at the man, ignored him, and picked up a piece of chocolate to eat.

To be honest, I've had chocolate twice since I came here, including this time, even though it was just simple alcoholic chocolate.

And both times it was Grandma Dou who gave them to me.

"Honey, what would you like to eat?" Chen Jianguo began preparing dinner.

Because his wife is pregnant this time, things are more difficult than before. She can't even stand the smell of cooking oil, so Chen Jianguo has to cook for her.

During the day, it's Niu Niu who assists Da Bao and Er Bao.

"Anything is fine, just something light!"

"OK!"

Then he took the three children to the kitchen, directing Erbao to add fuel to the fire, Niu Niu to chop and wash vegetables, and Da Bao to help him.

"Dad, I have a feeling things have been going wrong at home since Mom got pregnant?" Erbao asked his friend, resting his chin on his hand, with suspicion.

Chen Jianguo didn't speak, but Da Bao said irritably, "So, do you want your little brother, or do you want to eat Mom's cooking?"

Erbao actually thought about it for a moment this time, but after only two seconds, she firmly said, "I want a younger brother?"

Da Bao turned to look at Niu Niu and Chen Jianguo, as if to say, "See!"

Niu Niu burst out laughing.

"Erbao, what if it's your little sister?"

Erbao blinked her big eyes, "Can't everyone come?"

Forehead....

Chen Jianguo...!!!!"

Niu Niu Da Bao...."????"

How could they not know that this was possible? But it's really lucky that both of them could have it.

Lying on the sofa in the living room, half asleep, Su Xia was completely unaware that the people in the kitchen were now discussing whether she was pregnant with a boy or a girl.

The second time Su Xia came to see him was by Chen's parents, and they didn't come empty-handed.

To be precise, they almost emptied the village's houses.

Looking at the mountain of oxcarts, Su Xia didn't know how to react.

Mother Chen was overjoyed; she never expected that God would give the Chen family such a wonderful surprise.

There had been no news from the second and third children, but then I thought that we had enough children, all of whom were boys, so it didn't matter whether they had children or not.

The eldest brother's side is small, but the eldest brother's family doesn't want to, so naturally they don't dare to urge them, since they are living together now.

"Xiaxia, are you feeling unwell?"

Su Xia shook her head. Chen Jianguo's father was unloading things in the yard.

"Mother, what brings you here?"

Chen's mother said, "I heard you're pregnant, how could I sit still?"

Su Xia frowned upon hearing this. How did Mr. and Mrs. Chen know?

Upon hearing this, Chen's mother grinned, "It was your father who went back yesterday and made a special trip to our house to find out. Otherwise, how would we have known?"

Su Xia....

"Then I couldn't sit still, so I came to see you before the busy farming season!"

After finishing her sentence, Chen's mother glanced at Su Xia's belly and asked, "I wonder if it's a boy or a girl this time?"

Then, fearing Su Xia might overthink it, he said, "A girl would be better, she can keep Niu Niu company!"

Mr. and Mrs. Chen arrived quickly and left even faster, without even having a meal, and hurriedly returned home.

Su Xia looked at the pile of things in the warehouse and felt a bit of a headache.

It's early July now, and the first batch of vegetables from the village's private plots has already been harvested.

Scallions, cabbage, cilantro, chives, zucchini, and rapeseed—all tender and green, and without a speck of mud on them.

Su Xia was a little touched. Although Chen's parents lived in the village, the chickens, geese, and pigs they raised all belonged to her.

She could see all the vegetables. The elderly couple got up early in the morning and busied themselves picking, selecting, and washing the vegetables.

There are two baskets of eggs, each containing 60 eggs.

One basket of goose eggs, 50 in total; the remaining two bags contain grain stored in the village.

"Jianguo, where did your parents get so much money? Did they keep any for themselves?"

Chen Jianguo smiled helplessly. How could he not have left a question from his wife?

Su Xia realized what was happening, then glared at the man in annoyance. It was all his fault!

Because of the severe initial reaction, Su Xia stayed quietly in the county town and didn't go anywhere. During this time, Shen Jiaxue and Su Nan, who had just finished their postpartum confinement, came with Haoran.

Hao Ran came up to her and asked, "Auntie, I heard you're pregnant with a little brother?"

Before Su Xia could speak, she was stunned by the guy.

"Auntie, can I have a little sister instead? I want a little sister."

Su Xia....

Shen Jiaxue burst out laughing in Su Nan.

"Haoran, come on, sister will take you out to play!" Niu Niu was clever and took him out.

Su Xia, Su Nan, and Shen Jiaxue remained in the room.

Su Nan then grinned mischievously, "Sis, if you're not going to name anyone, you won't say anything either?"

Sizzle....

Shen Jiaxue pinched the man, ignoring his pain, and snapped, "Shut up!"

Su Xia began to gloat!

Then I heard Ai Shen Jiaxue say, "Sister, you should be more careful. After all, how do you qualify as having a child at an advanced age?"

Su Xia... it would be better not to say anything!

Hahaha... Su Nan laughed until tears welled up in her eyes.

After seeing off Su Nan's family, Su Xia began to keep asking Chen Jianguo questions.

"Is it really that big?"

Chen Jianguo.....

Su Xia breathed a sigh of relief, and so did Chen Jianguo, until Niu Niu, Da Bao, and Er Bao all started school.

Because Su Xia's pregnancy sickness has finally passed, Chen Jianguo, who has been suffering for the past two months, and his three children are now living at home, barely daring to breathe or make a fuss.

The original colors of the two babies are no longer recognizable.

Su Xia's restored lust brought with it a voracious appetite.

For dinner, Su Xia cooked rice, scrambled eggs, cabbage and mushrooms, and also sweet and sour pork ribs.

Three pounds of pork ribs, not a single piece was left, all of them were cooked.

After Chen Jianguo brought his three children back, the two older children smelled the fragrance in the yard and were very excited.

Muttering to herself, "Mom is finally better..."

"Brother, are we free now?"

"That's a must!"

"Mom's better now, everything's delicious!"

"Absolutely! My breath has been tasting like birds lately!"

Chen Jianguo, standing behind him, remained silent, as if his elderly father had suffered greatly.

When it was time to eat, the father and his three sons watched as Su Xia ate two bowls of rice, whereas he usually only ate one.

Even more shockingly, the ribs were eaten one after another, and when the two bowls of rice were finished, only half of the ribs remained.

One of the three eggs was missing from the scrambled eggs, and there were only mushrooms left over from the cabbage.

He let out a satisfied burp, licked his belly, and patted his stomach.

Only then did they realize that what shocked the man and his three children wasn't the frightened look in their eyes.

Why aren't you eating?

Chen Jianguo swallowed nervously and asked anxiously, "Wife, is your stomach upset?"

"Yes, Mom, why are you suddenly eating so much?" Before, I was feeling unwell and couldn't eat.

Upon hearing this, Su Xia finally understood, and spread her hands, "I don't know, maybe the morning sickness is over!"

"Alright, you guys eat, I'm going to rest!"

The father and his three sons were left staring at each other in bewilderment!

Finally, Erbao couldn't hold back and started crying.

"Dad, Mom ate half of the ribs by herself, and the four of us only ate half!"

With a wronged look in her eyes, she looked at everyone, then ate a rib, as if she would never get to eat it again.

Niu Niu and Da Bao – always feel that life at home will never be peaceful.

Chen Jianguo didn't eat any, only the mushrooms his wife left over. After deciding to go to the meat processing plant and grocery store every day, he decided to go to Gaoxing every day.

He refused to believe he couldn't satisfy his wife's burgeoning appetite.

...

If Niu Niu, Da Bao, Er Bao, and the other two knew that their father had completely forgotten about them, he might regret having a younger sibling.
