A while has passed since Yang Xianghong's incident, and Bao Ni and the others haven't paid much attention to it anymore; it's not something to gossip about. Those who know about it will silently resolve to be more careful with their daughters in the future.
Finding a partner is like being reincarnated; you never know if you'll meet a human or a ghost!
When Gu Ye came home from get off work that day, his expression was somewhat indescribable, and Bao Ni had no idea what had happened.
"What's wrong? Your expression is rather intriguing."
"My sister-in-law gave birth." Gu Ye thought about what his older brother had said on the phone, and didn't know whether to be happy for him or sad for him.
"Judging from your expression, I can't guess whether it's a boy or a girl. It's unlikely to be a Nezha, is it?" Bonnie joked, her imagination running wild.
"You really have a vivid imagination. Nezha was pregnant for three years before giving birth. After having a son, my brother and sister-in-law's wish for a daughter was completely shattered. My sister-in-law said she would never have another child." Gu Ye was amused by Bao Ni's thoughts. Sometimes his wife would say things that were hard to understand.
"Another son? Okay, eldest brother and sister-in-law, start saving money. Three sons need to marry three daughters-in-law, and each son needs a dowry. By the time they get married, the three-ring and one-turn ceremony won't be fashionable anymore. Maybe refrigerators and color TVs will be commonplace."
Bonnie seemed to have heard her grandma say that after the 1980s, people in the city had to buy TVs and such when they got married, and it cost a lot of money.
"It's alright, my eldest brother has some savings." Gu Ye wasn't worried about money; he was just concerned about having three grown sons who could cause quite a headache if they started causing trouble. Fortunately, the three children were quite far apart in age, otherwise, they would be fighting like crazy.
Bonnie thought about their family's savings. She'd heard that her mother-in-law had left some old things for Gu Ye and his two siblings. They also had a house in Beijing and that courtyard house, which would be worth a fortune in the future.
Bonnie thought she was quite lucky. By the time the reform and opening up took place, Liu Jiu and San Qi would have grown up, and she could let them work hard on their own. She and Gu Ye could just enjoy their retirement. At the time she was born, she would already be enjoying her grandchildren. How wonderful!
"By the way, Xuan Yu and Xuan Yi will be coming in a few days, along with Han Bei from the Han family and the two boys from the Zheng family, making a total of five children."
Today, Brother Gu not only told Gu Ye about the birth of his son, but also about Gu Xuanyu and the others coming to visit. It's good that they can prepare in advance.
"Are the two Zheng family children the same Zheng family that fought with Liu Jiu? Is Han Bei Han Weidong's nephew?" Bonnie had a vague recollection, but she wasn't sure if it matched up.
"Yes, it's these kids." Gu Ye was now thinking about where the children would live after they arrived. His family hadn't moved yet, and there wasn't enough space.
“Gu Ye, I heard there’s a four-room house that’s become available. Could you submit an application so we can move? Liu Jiu is getting older and can’t share a room with San Qi anymore. She needs her own room.”
Bonnie didn't have many requirements for the house before; otherwise, given Gu Ye's status, they would have moved long ago. Now that the child is getting older, the room is really not enough.
When Gu Ye heard what Bao Ni said, he remembered that a military officer of regimental rank or above had been demobilized and his house had become vacant.
"Okay, I'll submit the application tomorrow. There shouldn't be any problems."
Bonnie and the others were at home discussing house issues, while Aunt Gu was at home recovering from childbirth and wasn't in a good mood either.
"Mom, everyone said my belly looked like it was most likely a girl, but it turned out to be a boy. Did they mix up the babies?" Sister-in-law Gu was still a little unwilling as she watched her mother skillfully change her youngest son's diaper.
"Why are you not taking proper care of yourself during your postpartum period? What are you thinking about? There were no other women giving birth when you were pregnant, just you. How could you have gotten the baby mixed up? Other women who wanted a son didn't have one, but you have one and you don't even care about it."
Mother Shen scolded Sister-in-law Gu, saying she didn't know how lucky she was and how greedy she was. Who can decide whether you have a son or a daughter? It's good to have both a son and a daughter, but you can't force it if you don't.
Sister-in-law Gu just loves daughters. How wonderful it would be to have a daughter like Liu Jiu!
Lin Baoni: Hehe...
"I know, I don't want to think about it anymore. I won't have any more children. Once I've raised these three sons to adulthood and they're married, my mission will be complete." Thinking about finding wives for her three sons, Aunt Gu thought, "Oh my god, I can't think about it anymore, it's giving me a headache."
"Jiaqi, are Xuanyi and Xuanyu going to the island? It will take several days to get there. Will they be able to manage?" Mother Shen thought that Xuanyu was 13 years old, but Xuanyi was only eight years old and a bit too young. The journey would take several days. Could their bodies handle it?
"It's alright. Not only the two of them, but also Han Bei from the Han family and Zheng Tao and Zheng Jun from the Zheng family, five boys in total. They've been taken care of by soldiers who are going back to visit their families along the way, so there's nothing to worry about."
Sister-in-law Gu wasn't worried about the children going to Bao Ni's place. Bao Ni had always been very good to the two children, and it would be nice for her to have some peace and quiet there.
"I'm worried about Xuanyi's health. Can his little body handle all that travel?" Madam Shen still dotes on Xuanyi. Although her little grandson is a bit lazy and doesn't like to move, he's quite lovable.
"Gu Ze said that Gu Xuanyi needs some training. He's a year older than Liu Jiu, and his stamina and physical strength are far inferior to Liu Jiu's. This trip is a good opportunity to let Liu Jiu take him to train more."
In her heart, Chen's mother thought, "Xuanyi, Grandma has done her best. Your mother's path is not viable, and your father has also made up his mind to send you to train. Good luck to you."
