After taking another nap around ten in the morning, I woke up and walked out of the space to the main hall. Unexpectedly, the living room was quite lively. Zhao Youqian's twin sister came back with her child.
Zhao Youqian's mother was incredibly fertile, giving birth to three babies, each of which were twins. Zhao Youqian's twins were a boy and a girl, truly a blessing. His younger sister, Zhao Xiangqian, was originally named Zhao Xiangqian, but when she grew up, she changed her name to Xiangqian, a name with the same pronunciation but different characters.
Her in-laws were the family of the deputy director of the Construction Bureau. It was a pretty good match for the daughters of the Zhao family. The third daughter of the previous generation married into the Jiang family, and the sixth daughter of this generation married into the family of the deputy director of the Construction Bureau. Although they were paid a fixed salary, it was definitely better off than an ordinary family. Besides, the Zhao family was about to make a comeback, so who was in charge of building houses? Wasn't it the Construction Bureau? So the sixth daughter really married according to Old Man Zhao's wishes.
Xiangqian inherited her mother's fertility and gave birth to twins, two boys, which also helped her gain a foothold in her husband's family. The two children are now four years old. Although she has no job, her status in her husband's family is still unmatched by other daughters-in-law.
Xiang Qian returned because he had just learned that his fifth sister-in-law had arrived in Shanghai. She'd been here for half a month, and no one had gone to her house to tell her. Her mother-in-law found out today when she ran into the Zhao family's maid at the market while she was buying groceries and chatted for a while. She had breakfast, cleaned up, and hurried back with her two children.
When I got home, I heard that my fifth sister-in-law was sleeping in the room. I also knew that Xingxing was pregnant, so I didn't bring the child to the room to disturb her rest. I waited until Xingxing woke up.
Xingxing still likes this sister who is Zhao Youqian's twin. She can still tell whether Xiang Qian is sincere or not. Xingxing accepts Xiang Qian's sincere congratulations on her pregnancy.
She went into the room and took out the gifts she had brought for her two children: a pair of identical small gold lockets. The exquisite craftsmanship clearly showed they were fine items. Xiang Qian thought they were too valuable to accept, and after a long struggle, they finally accepted them. This was in 1980. A few years earlier, Professor Dong wouldn't have dared give Xingxing this gift. During the "Four Olds" era, such things would have gotten Xiang Qian into trouble.
The two children walked up to Xingxing. Although they were boys, their baby voices were still incredibly adorable. They hadn't been sent to preschool today because they were going back to their grandmother's house. Xingxing was overjoyed to see the two little ones, eager to call out to their aunt. Xiangqian was also delighted to see his sister-in-law adoring her two children. He asked the children if their aunt was pregnant with a brother or a sister.
They say children's words are usually accurate. Xingxing's brother looked earnestly at her belly, which was perfectly smooth, and said, "Brother and sister," meaning she had both a brother and a sister. Xiang Qian was overjoyed, because she and her brother were twins, and she had twins herself, so the child's words must have meant that Xingxing was also pregnant with twins, or twins, a boy and a girl. Everyone present was delighted to hear this, regardless of whether it was real or not.
Seeing her youngest daughter had lost a lot of weight recently, Li Sanmei couldn't help but ask a few questions. Xiang Qian replied that the children were older now and taking care of them was a bit tiring. But Xingxing didn't think that was true. How could it be tiring to send two children to kindergarten? How tiring could it be to share housework among several people? Everyone has their own privacy, and respecting it is the most basic courtesy. Xiang Qian didn't want to talk about it, and Xingxing didn't want to explore it.
After a lively lunch and a nap, Xiangqian returned home with the two children. Xingxing was a little tired today, and during dinner, she suggested that she wanted to stay at the Jiang family's house tomorrow. To be honest, she didn't want to stay at the Zhao family's house right now because of her sister-in-law. Every time she looked at her, she was a little scared.
