Zhang will be thirty-seven after the New Year, and Cai Xiaolian will be thirty-six. Only Yang is a little younger, in her early twenties.
The commotion caused by the three sisters-in-law attracted everyone's attention.
Because of taking care of Gu Xiaoqi and Gu Xiaoba, the three brothers sat side by side, and the three sisters-in-law sat side by side. Next to Uncle Gu Si sat the two elders, and next to the two elders was Grandma Xiao, and next to Grandma Xiao was Madam Yang.
Gu Xin and the other children were sitting at the table next to them.
Seeing this, Grandma Xiao told Yang to place her hand flat on the table and reach out to feel her pulse. Then she called to Gu Xin, "Xin Xin, take your aunt's and mother's pulses!"
The room fell silent instantly, everyone waiting to hear the result.
Gu Xin took Zhang's pulse, and Zhang looked at Gu Xin expectantly with her small eyes.
Gu Xin touched her right hand with her left hand, then muttered, "Like pearls rolling on a plate, smooth and nimble."
Zhang's eyes lit up: "Little Xinxin, is your aunt pregnant? It's not an upset stomach, right? It's not gas, right?"
Gu Xin pursed her lips: "It's the same pulse as my mother's at the beginning of the year."
Gu Shouxin called out to Gu Xin, "Xin Xin, quickly try it on your mother?"
Then Gu Xin took Cai Xiaolian's left hand, since Grandma Xiao's hand had already been touched by Yang Shi, so she touched Cai Xiaolian's right hand.
After touching Grandma Xiao's hand, she didn't say anything, but asked Gu Xin to try Cai Xiaolian's right hand and Yang's pulse.
Grandma Xiao checked Zhang's pulse again.
After the three of them had finished touching the objects, Grandma Xiao looked at Grandma Gu with envy and said, "Old Gu, you're going to have three more grandsons next year!"
Grandma Gu: ...Should I make a happy face?
Grandpa Gu was overjoyed: "Hahahaha, good, good, good, three happy events at once, three happy events at once!"
Uncle Gu: "Huh? I haven't even earned enough for Huihui's dowry yet, and now this again? Aunt Xiao, why don't you try again? Last time your daughter-in-law said she was pregnant, didn't you say no? Why don't you try again?"
Zhang was unhappy: "Father, Mother, look at his father. I gave birth to his children, and he's still not happy."
Grandma Gu glared at Uncle Gu, who lowered his head in grievance. "I tried every possible way to escape you, but you still managed to get me in the end, waaaah..."
Grandma Gu was annoyed just looking at him like that; he was such a nuisance!
Gu Shouxin didn't know whether to be happy or unhappy. He had a son and a daughter and didn't want his wife to suffer anymore. But now that they were pregnant, he couldn't just say no. Besides, his wife was planning to make a big splash next year. If they were pregnant again, wouldn't that be... Oh no, he was going to get glares and scoldings again in the next few days.
Only Uncle Gu was truly happy. His brothers all had sons and daughters, while he only had one son, which was rather lonely. Now that he had another child, and he was in his prime, how could he not be happy?
Cai Xiaolian and Yang Shi exchanged a glance. They both remembered the time Zhang Shi had made a blunder by coming to them and teaching them how to have a son or a daughter. They hadn't had sex since giving birth, but after hearing Zhang Shi shamelessly tell them the details that day, they tried it with their husbands that very night. It was their first time after giving birth, and once they got pregnant, they had sex more often afterward, and she even got pregnant again.
The two of them didn't know whether to thank their sister-in-law or scold her. "You come here to tell us two younger siblings about your relationship all the time. How are we supposed to explain this?"
They were still breastfeeding their babies, and now they're pregnant again. How are they going to feed them?
