Chapter 446 The Amazing Genes
Shen Zhixia: "In short, it's a good thing to have a new baby. If you need any help, just come to us."
Huo Chunyan said, "Okay, I feel pretty good right now, there's nothing seriously wrong."
When she gave birth to her first child, her health was compromised, and she wasn't in good shape. However, after so many years of recuperation, her health has improved significantly, and now she feels confident that she could have another child without any problems.
She has confidence in herself.
And she touched her belly and said, "I always felt that this baby would be a son."
It wasn't that Huo Chunyan favored boys over girls, but since her first child was already a daughter, she hoped that her second child would be a son, so that she would have both a son and a daughter and would have no regrets.
Shen Zhixia nodded in agreement: "Your first child was a daughter, so your second child is very likely to be a son."
There's no scientific basis for this; she was just echoing Huo Chunyan's words in the hopes that Huo Chunyan would feel happier.
Sure enough, Huo Chunyan's face was full of smiles: "That's what I think too."
Sun Baojun, however, did not look happy; he appeared worried.
Shen Zhixia smiled and said, "This is a happy occasion. Baojun, don't look so sad. After you have a child, your family will be very lively. What a wonderful thing!"
Sun Baojun said enviously, "You guys are so lucky. You can have two children in one pregnancy, a son and a daughter, and you don't have to suffer too much."
So far, his only concern is that Huo Chunyan will suffer too much during childbirth, since Huo Chunyan's first childbirth was difficult, which left him with some psychological trauma.
Huo Chenzhou said unhappily, "Having twins is very risky. Do you really think it's that simple?"
Fortunately, the doctor who delivered Shen Zhixia's baby was a veteran in the industry with highly skilled medical techniques, so Shen Zhixia was fine. If it had been someone else, things might not have turned out that way.
Sun Baojun quickly apologized: "I've never had a child, so I don't know the inside story. I misspoke."
Huo Chenzhou doesn't usually argue with people, but he only cares a little when it involves Shen Zhixia. Right now, his face is expressionless, and he doesn't say anything more.
Sun Baojun breathed a sigh of relief. He had been too concerned and made a mistake. Childbirth is a life-or-death experience for women. He could sympathize with Huo Chunyan, but he couldn't empathize with other women, so his words were a bit harsh, which offended Huo Chenzhou. Fortunately, judging from Huo Chenzhou's expression, he wouldn't hold it against him.
That was the end of it.
Shen Zhixia didn't care about this at all. She said to Huo Chunyan, "Chunyan, I think housing prices will rise in a few years. You have two children, so you can think about their future. Why don't you buy a house now and consider their future?"
She wasn't as distant from Huo Chunyan anymore. Actually, she had mentioned it before, but Huo Chunyan refused. However, since housing prices were bound to rise in the future, she brought it up again this time.
Huo Chunyan is wealthy. She and Sun Baojun have worked hard over the years and have both been promoted, so their income is decent and they can afford to buy a house.
Hearing Shen Zhixia say this again, Huo Chunyan was also somewhat tempted.
She thought for a moment and said, "I actually want to buy one, but buying a house is a big deal. I'm thinking of buying one in a few years."
Shen Zhixia said, "If you really want to buy it, then buy it now. If you don't have enough money, I can lend you some. If the housing prices rise in the future, you may not be able to afford it."
Huo Chunyan hesitated for a moment, then nodded: "I don't need to borrow money, I still have some savings."
She believed in Shen Zhixia; after all, she thought Shen Zhixia was very smart, and some of her judgments were true.
She said that housing prices would rise in the future, and Huo Chunyan believed that this was indeed the case.
Shen Zhixia didn't try to persuade her anymore. She had already said what she needed to say, and whether Huo Chunyan wanted to buy a house was her business.
However, just two weeks later, Huo Chunyan said she had her eye on a house and was going to buy it.
Sun Baojun has always been supportive of her decisions, and the whole process didn't require much effort.
Huo Chunyan bought a house not far from Shen Zhixia's. She was thinking of becoming neighbors with Shen Zhixia in the future. The two families had a good relationship, and she hoped that they could always be so friendly.
That day.
A burly man stepped forward and gave Huo Chenzhou a hug: "Old Huo, it's been so long, you still look the same as before, but we've all gained weight."
They used to be comrades-in-arms who had gone through thick and thin together. Later, he was transferred to other places. After being transferred back this time, he came to see Huo Chenzhou as soon as possible.
After leaving the war, everyone changed quite a bit. He had long since developed a beer belly and gained weight. After all, life had improved, and people ate more every day, so it was natural to gain weight and become greasy.
After all, he used to be a handsome guy.
But Huo Chenzhou was still the same as before, tall and upright, with strong facial features and not an ounce of fat. He was still so handsome that he felt a little awkward standing in front of Huo Chenzhou.
Huo Chenzhou was still so self-disciplined; compared to him, he truly felt ashamed.
It seems he has become complacent.
Huo Chenzhou said smugly, "You're too lax."
Rao Qingsong spat and said, "It's clearly you who's too beastly. The other brothers are all like that too, and they're all quite fat."
They came out together back then, and those brothers are all as fat as balls now. Thinking of this, Rao Qingsong felt a little more at peace.
Fortunately, he wasn't the only one like this, otherwise, he would also feel unbalanced.
Just then, Shen Zhixia came out from inside and asked curiously, "Did any friends come over?"
Rao Qingsong felt as if his vision had been illuminated. Shen Zhixia was like a beautiful sight; her appearance lit up the surroundings. She was truly a great beauty.
Indeed, time never defeats a beauty.
He now understood why Huo Chenzhou needed to maintain his physique. With such a beautiful wife, he should indeed maintain his appearance. Otherwise, what if his wife disliked science?
Rao Qingsong quickly introduced himself: "Sister-in-law, I am Rao Qingsong, and I am Lao Huo's comrade-in-arms. When you got married, I was too far away to come, but I sent a gift money through someone."
Shen Zhixia said gently, "I know you. Shen Zhou often mentions you."
Rao Qingsong's eyes immediately lit up: "Really? He mentioned me again? Am I that important to him?"
Shen Zhixia nodded with a smile.
When they got married, they kept a notebook to record all the gifts they received. They would then reciprocate with gifts whenever the recipients had any special occasions.
These are just basic domestic etiquette.
However, Shen Zhixia had absolutely no recollection of Rao Qingsong.
Huo Chenzhou has too many comrades-in-arms to remember them all; what she's saying now is mostly just polite talk.
Rao Qingsong was a few years older than Huo Chenzhou, but he was clearly a simple-minded person. He had taken Shen Zhixia's words seriously, and his face showed obvious joy.
When they arrived for dinner, Huo's mother and her two children also arrived. Rao Qingsong stared at the two children and his eyes widened immediately.
He praised, "Your child is so handsome."
These twins look quite different. The older twin inherited Shen Zhixia's beauty and, at just over ten years old, is already a graceful young lady, a true little beauty in the making. The younger twin has delicate features, resembling a frail scholar, and is also very pretty.
They inherited more of Shen Zhixia's looks, but they are both very tall, a trait they inherited from Huo Chenzhou.
These two kids really know how to pick a place to grow up.
Rao Qingsong sighed, "They are good-looking. At first glance, they don't look like Old Huo at all."
Huo Chenzhou immediately became unhappy: "What do you mean by that? Isn't it good to look like me?"
Actually, the two children looked a lot like Huo Chenzhou when they were little. They were both chubby back then, just like Huo Chenzhou.
At that time, Da Bao looked most like Huo Chenzhou. Huo's mother was worried that if Da Bao looked like Huo Chenzhou, she would be a shrew and would never be able to get married when she grew up.
Little did they know that after they grew up, the two children would look just like Shen Zhixia.
That's why genes are truly amazing.
