Boss Song and Liu Pianran are together? What kind of chaotic situation is this?
Ji Xia's eyes widened. Considering Song Laoda's age and status, this Liu Pianran seemed to have no moral compass whatsoever!
Raising an eyebrow, she glanced at the group of men and asked curiously in a low voice, "Sister-in-law, did you see it with your own eyes? Are they really together?"
"Of course, we saw her when we went to that wholesale store to buy goods. She was very affectionate towards Boss Song."
Zhang Hong curled her lip, feeling somewhat ashamed, and quietly recounted the events of several encounters.
However, Ji Xia had some doubts. Wasn't it said that Liu Pianran was doing public relations for Boss Song and helping him get orders?
She's already a PR girl, would Boss Song still take her in?
While listening quietly to the gossip, my fingers couldn't help but pinch Tuan Tuan's little face.
Tuan Tuan and Yuan Yuan's birthday was at the end of August last year, and they have been together for more than ten months.
Although they were born prematurely, they received sufficient nutrition, and both children weighed over 22 pounds. They had chubby little faces, bright and lively big eyes, and thick, black hair, and it was clear at a glance that they were growing very well.
The twins were wearing the same sleeveless jumpsuits that Ji Xia had brought. Their arms and legs were long like lotus roots, segmented and chubby. Cute little horses were embroidered on their chests. They stood up, holding onto the car, and grinned at Ji Xia and Zhang Hong.
"Tuan Tuan and Yuan Yuan are so beautiful, fair-skinned and pretty."
Ji Xia gave a compliment, and Zhang Hong smiled and whispered, "You and Chen Jing are both good-looking, your future children will definitely be good too."
Upon hearing this, Ji Xia couldn't help but turn around and glance at Chen Jing: "It's still a long way off. I need to study for four years, it's not that early."
"It's a bit of a pity. Your children would definitely be good-looking. You should have had a couple more."
Zhang Hong smiled gently, her hand unconsciously stroking her lower abdomen, her face radiating maternal love.
Ji Xia was startled and subconsciously glanced at her lower abdomen: "Sister-in-law, are you pregnant again?"
Zhang Hong smiled and shook her head at her: "It's not certain yet."
"Unsure? What do you mean?"
"It's been delayed by half a month, so I can't be sure if I'm pregnant now."
Upon hearing this, Ji Xia asked worriedly, "Sister-in-law, if you're really pregnant, do you still want the baby?"
“Of course I want to, why wouldn’t I?” Zhang Hong replied matter-of-factly.
She and Ji Zhijun only have two sons, and it's not like they can't afford to raise them!
Zhang Hong is not afraid of childbirth. Although it was painful during childbirth, she took good care of herself during her postpartum period and did not find childbirth difficult.
On the contrary, everyone who saw Tuan Tuan Yuan Yuan said that her child was good-looking, with a full forehead and the appearance of an official, which made Zhang Hong very proud.
With such good genes from her parents, and with someone to take care of her during childbirth, she would naturally be happy to have more children.
Ji Xia shook her head inwardly. In her previous life, Zhang Hong only had two sons, both of whom were sickly, and she herself was not in good health either.
My two sons aren't even a year old yet, and I'm pregnant again?
Having children too close together is bad for your health, especially since last time they were twins.
Moreover, raising two sons to be successful has already consumed a lot of energy and money.
Having too many children means you won't be able to care for them enough. It's better to raise them well than to raise many children in large numbers. Raising two children well is worse than letting several be left to their own devices.
She disagreed with the idea, but she knew that the prevailing view in this era was that having many children meant many blessings, so there was no need to object or offend anyone.
Ji Xia casually changed the subject: "I heard that the land will be distributed this year. Sister-in-law, have you and my brother discussed what you plan to do then?"
Zhang Hong laughed dismissively, "Let them divide it however they want. Anyway, I work at the supply and marketing cooperative, and I won't get any land when my family divides it, and I don't have time to do it anyway."
Of course, with her salary at the supply and marketing cooperative plus extra income, she earned more than 100 yuan a month, which was more than Ji Zhijun's annual income. Zhang Hong felt that it was only right that she didn't do farm work.
Just then, Ji Xiangjun and Ji Zhijun started talking about this topic: "Brother, farming depends on God for food. If things go wrong, you won't even have enough to eat. You might as well come out and try your luck with me."
"Yes, brother, farming will at most keep you from starving, but if you want a better life, you still have to go out and make your own way."
Upon hearing this, Ji Zhijun subconsciously glanced at Zhang Hong and the children: "The children are still young. Dad is busy with the brigade's affairs, and it's hard for Mom to take care of two children alone at home. Let's talk about it when they're a little older."
Ji Zhijun originally preferred stable and easily satisfied men, unlike Ji Xiangjun and Chen Jing.
His family was doing well; his wife worked in the city and earned a decent monthly income. In his opinion, they were already very well off.
Ji Xiangjun and Chen Jing were speechless for a moment after hearing his words.
Ji Yuanjun is reportedly doing well in the military and has even found a girlfriend there. It's estimated that he will continue to develop his career in the military.
Ji Xiangjun and Ji Xia both developed their own businesses, while Ji Zhijun stayed in his hometown to farm. In the future, the gap between the siblings will become larger.
Ji Xia suddenly asked, "Father, if the land is divided, will the hills over there be divided as well?"
Party Secretary Ji shook his head: "You can't farm on the hilltops, so what's the point of dividing them up?"
“You can actually grow things on the hills. For example, there are many hills in the Jiangnan and Fujian areas where tea trees are grown,” Ji Xiangjun replied.
"Second brother, planting tea trees requires specific soil and temperature conditions. The hillside here isn't very high, so it's hard to say if it's suitable. However, planting fruit trees will definitely be fine."
"If you don't want to travel far, you can contract a hilltop to grow fruit trees, such as tropical fruits like lychees, mangoes, and longans."
Actually, it was indeed possible to grow fruit in the early 1980s.
Ji Xia remembers that in the 1980s and 90s, domestic fruits were not cheap at all.
At that time, she had a daughter and earned three or four hundred yuan a month. Fruits such as lychees and mangoes were generally priced at seven or eight yuan or more, and longans even sold for thirteen or fourteen yuan.
