Han Shufang slapped her forehead.
It's her fault.
Shishi told her the good news at the hospital last time, but she had been so worried about her husband and son that she forgot to tell her family.
"Mom, the children are hungry. Let them eat first before we talk."
"Oh right, right, everyone come in and eat. Eat your fill and get some rest. Ugly, Little Master, come in quickly."
"Okay, Grandma," the two little ones replied obediently.
Grandma Han tried to pull her granddaughter into the house, but couldn't.
Um?
Someone stood firmly in a horse stance and asked, "Ninth Brother, Ninth Sister-in-law, how many babies do you have?"
Zhou Tong and Su Lan, who had already heard her boast about having a baby: ...
Okay, I didn't mention their names earlier, so Erbao hasn't shown off to them yet.
Su Lan smiled and said, "Shishi, Ninth Sister-in-law is not pregnant yet."
Having children brings many constraints, and she also wants to discuss medical matters with her husband, planning to postpone having children for two years.
Shishi nodded maturely, "Young man, you need to hurry up."
The couple: ...Stop showing off and start urging us to have children?
Zhou Tong couldn't resist and flicked her forehead with his slender fingers.
"You brat, how old do you think you are, calling us young people? I'm your older brother, older than you."
“I became a mother earlier than Ninth Sister-in-law, so I’m older than you, hehe.” A mother said confidently.
Zhou Tong laughed in exasperation, "So, do we still have to call you 'sister'?"
"It's not impossible."
The patriarch whispered something in the arrogant boy's ear, and the latter immediately changed his tune, "Ninth Brother, Ninth Sister-in-law, you are the elders, I will always be the younger sister."
After saying that, he pulled his maternal and paternal grandmothers into the house, not caring about the big question mark left for his brother and sister-in-law.
Zhou Tong grabbed her brother-in-law, who was a step behind, and asked, "What did you just say to Shishi?"
Zhou Heng and Zhou Tong were also curious and pricked up their ears.
Xie Lin shrugged. "Shishi loves receiving red envelopes. I said that as a younger sister, she can receive red envelopes during the New Year, but as an older sister, she should give them."
Given the choice between giving and receiving, she chose the latter.
It's that simple.
Zhou Tong: ...A single word, "Ninth Brother," is worth a fortune.
That's not all.
"My two older cousins and my two older cousins, come quickly too."
For the sake of red envelopes, the younger cousins immediately became older cousins, making everyone laugh and cry.
The atmosphere was relaxed on one side, and equally lighthearted on the other.
The military received a large amount of grain and military supplies for free, and the leaders were overjoyed. They put away the items overnight.
"Hahaha, as expected of the elites of our Dragon Kingdom, Lao Zhou, if it weren't for the distance, I would really like to go and see those results right away."
In the office, Zhou Lie held the telephone receiver. The voice on the other end of the line was cheerful, and you could tell just by listening to it how happy he was.
They're so happy about just one ship; if they knew there were many times more military supplies and materials inside, they'd probably be laughing their heads off.
"Old Xiao, you can keep drooling. I'm just calling to let you know that the children have returned safely. I'll apply for the special forces team's credit, and you can quietly apply for rewards for Shishi and Chou Chou Xiao Shi."
"Alright, Xiao Heng said he has some good news to tell me, which sounds more important than this mission. I'll head back now and call you if anything comes up."
He had just hung up the phone when the phone at home rang.
It was still Old Master Xiao.
Shishi chatted with the Xiao family for almost half an hour, and Song Yunchao was also called over to chat for a long time.
Then she called the Lu family again, ostensibly to let them know that Lu Fan was safe, but Lu Fan only said "I'm still alive," and the rest was her show.
When Zhou Lie returned, the house was already quiet.
Well, the braggart got thirsty from bragging and was sent back to his room to sleep.
The Han family members also went home reluctantly, especially the younger ones, who were full of admiration for their cousin—or rather, their younger cousin.
"Dad, you're back. Let's go to the study to talk."
Zhou Heng waited for his father in the living room. Upstairs was quiet, so he lowered his voice, afraid of disturbing the children.
Zhou Heng: ...Actually, I was afraid of attracting that big mouth.
Seeing his serious expression, Zhou Lie felt inexplicably nervous and quickened his pace as he walked toward the study.
Inside the room, the person who was kicked off the bed felt as if struck by lightning.
"Shishi, what did you just say? Say it again, I didn't hear you clearly."
"Mother said that the pregnancy is unstable in the first three months, so I can't sleep with you. It's not good for Zhou Da Liu and Zhou Xiao Liu. Go sleep in Xiao Shi's room and come back when the pregnancy is stable."
This time, having heard it clearly, Xie Lin felt as if his heart had been scorched black.
Mother-in-law, you're trying to kill your son-in-law!
I have two mountains on my shoulders. If I don't sleep with my wife, how can I give her baby?
He tried to come up with some fallacious arguments, and even brought in Guagua and Nannan as reinforcements, but the two of them and their device were kicked out together.
Xie Lin squatted under the big tree, feeling utterly miserable, pitiful, and helpless.
"Quack quack, what should we do? If we can't get into Shishi's bed, where will Zhou Da Liu and Zhou Xiao Liu come from?"
Even Guagua couldn't help.
The owner is stubborn; once she's made up her mind, nothing can change it.
"Should we tell Master that she's not pregnant yet?"
Xie Lin chuckled, "Go and tell them."
You're quite the talker. You said it before, why wait until now?
The quack ran away.
It dares not.
The master's fist was harder than Xie Choudan's fist.
Let Xie Choudan handle this headache himself.
I just hope that Xie Choudan planted the seeds well a while ago, otherwise the disaster that will happen after three months is something no one can handle.
No, I'll scan her secretly when she wakes up.
Zhou Da Liu, Zhou Xiao Liu, Aunt Gua is begging you, please come quickly! Aunt Gua doesn't want any parts to be missing!
