Chapter 346 An Old Acquaintance
Zhou Xiye frowned: "An old acquaintance."
How could someone who shouldn't be in Beijing suddenly appear in Beijing?
Could he have misread it?
Zhou Xiye never doubted his eyesight, so the person just now must have been Bian Zhan. He's back?!
Jiang Zhizhi could sense that the man, who had been relaxed just moments before, was now tense. Therefore, he might have seen someone he knew for other reasons as well.
Knowing there were some things she couldn't ask, she pulled his arm and said, "Let's go home quickly, your daughter is hungry."
When I got home, Sister Chen had already prepared dinner, and it was quite a feast.
Even Zhou Chengzhi rushed back. When he saw Zhou Xiye and Jiang Zhizhi enter, he asked, "Why didn't you say you were coming back? You came back without any news. Were you trying to scare us to death?"
Zhou Xiye was at a loss for words: "I'm in a meeting, and I don't know when I'll have time."
If we're talking about being shocked, what could be more frightening than him walking in and seeing two more children in the house?
After asking the question, Zhou Chengzhi ignored what Zhou Xiye said and went to the little Zhou Ji in Zhou Chengyu's arms with a smile: "Little Zhou Ji, did you miss Grandpa? Come here and Grandpa will give you a hug."
When Xiao Zhouji saw Zhou Chengzhi, he excitedly waved his little hands and rushed towards Zhou Chengzhi to hug him.
Zhou Xiye was surprised to find that Zhou Chengzhi, who was usually serious, always spoke with a voice like a drum, unlike this time when he was speaking in a low voice and smiling in a fake way.
Jiang Zhizhi smiled as she watched Zhou Chengzhi carry Xiao Zhouji around the room again and again, and then said to Zhou Xiye, "Dad loves Xiao Zhouji the most. He carries him whenever he has free time. When he's resting, he carries Xiao Zhouji out and doesn't let anyone else have a chance."
Zhou Xiye's eyes welled up with tears as he looked around. With two more children in the house, it felt like there were many more things in the house, with children's clothes and toys everywhere.
They also cleared out a space on the ground, enclosed it with wooden railings, and let the two children crawl inside.
The smiles on Zhou Chengzhi and Fang Hua's faces never stopped, and Zhou Chengyu's occasional voices made the house lively and warm.
During mealtimes, the two children are placed in the playpen, each given a steamed bun, and they sit there quietly eating their buns until the adults finish their meal.
Fang Hua and Zhou Chengzhi ate their meal, but their eyes never left the two children, afraid that they would take too many bites of the steamed buns and choke.
Zhou Xiye glanced at the two children sitting on the blanket from time to time. The two little ones would take a bite of their steamed buns, look at each other happily for a while, and then smack their buns on the ground. They were lively and cheerful. He asked with some curiosity, "Don't they... make a fuss?"
Fang Hua smiled and said, "We're very well-behaved. We never make a fuss when we eat. And Zhizhi's idea is great. By enclosing them like this, we don't have to worry about them climbing around."
Seeing that Zhou Xiye ate very quickly, Jiang Zhizhi couldn't help but laugh and said, "If they're unhappy, they'll express it, so don't worry. They can both have fun on their own."
After dinner, Zhou Chengzhi and Fang Hua took their two children out for a walk.
Jiang Zhizhi smiled and said to Zhou Xiye, "If we don't take the two kids out for a walk around at this time, all those uncles and aunts will come to our house. Anyway, I have to hold them and play with them for a while every day."
Zhou Xiye had already heard about how popular the two children were in the compound, but he didn't expect them to be this popular. He looked at Jiang Zhizhi with a smile in his eyes and said, "It's all because of you that they are so well-liked."
Jiang Zhizhi glanced at the kitchen, where Sister Chen was busy washing dishes. She moved closer to Zhou Xiye, her shoulder pressed tightly against his: "I think you've changed!"
Zhou Xiye was slightly taken aback: "What?"
Jiang Zhizhi smiled, her eyes crinkling: "I think you've changed. What have you learned in the past year? You've learned so many sweet words."
Zhou Xiye lowered his eyes and looked at the woman leaning against his chest. Her eyebrows were curved, and her eyes were bright and smiling.
Without realizing it, he reached out and ruffled her hair: "I'm just making an objective statement."
That evening, Jiang Zhizhi asked Zhou Xiye to help bathe the two children. Each child had their own bathtub and sat in the water, refusing to get out. Their little hands were frantically splashing water everywhere.
Zhou Xiye was in a panic and couldn't handle any of them.
After bathing the two children, his clothes and pants were completely soaked.
Fang Hua and Zhou Chengyu laughed and carried the two children upstairs to sleep. Fang Hua even told Jiang Zhizhi, "Don't come up to see the children tonight. With your aunt and me here, you can rest assured."
Jiang Zhizhi felt a little embarrassed. This was a very direct way of telling her that they should enjoy their time as a couple and not worry about the baby.
After taking a shower and returning to his room, Zhou Xiye was still thinking that taking care of a child was really not an easy task.
The room on the first floor has changed a lot compared to before. A single bed has been added next to the main bed, making it much wider. There are baby blankets and mattresses on the bed. The three-drawer table by the window has been moved away and replaced with two cribs with some baby clothes and diapers on them.
The windowsill, which used to have several potted plants, has now been replaced with toys and some children's trinkets.
Zhou Xiye went into the room and looked around for a while. Then he started folding the clothes and diapers on the crib and arranging all the toys on the windowsill neatly.
There are also two little rocking horses in the corner, which are quite cute.
Jiang Zhizhi went upstairs to spend some time with the child, then took a shower there before coming downstairs after Fang Hua repeatedly urged her.
When she returned to her room, she felt a little shy.
The two of them had even had a child, yet now they felt a strange mix of shyness, nervousness, and anticipation.
With a flushed face, she pushed open the door and saw that the room was neat and tidy, even the diapers were folded neatly. She couldn't help but laugh: "Actually, they don't need to be folded so neatly. They'll be coming to play tomorrow, and in less than ten minutes, they'll have torn everything off the bed. If you put it in the crib, they'll just throw everything on the floor."
"It's just fine as it is, this messy state."
Zhou Xiye turned around and looked at Jiang Zhizhi, who was walking closer with her hands behind her back. He took a step closer to her and reached out to hug her tightly once again.
Jiang Zhizhi was taken aback. She rarely saw Zhou Xiye so emotional except in bed, and she misunderstood him a little: "Wait a while, Xiao Zhouji and Shangshang will be asleep in a while. If they make a fuss before they fall asleep, I will have to go up and check on them."
Zhou Xiye held her tightly, leaned down slightly, and whispered in her ear, "Tell me about your pregnancy and when you gave birth to them, okay?"
