Zhou Xiaomei jumped up and down with excitement, her eyes sparkling, and she couldn't wait to say:
"I'm going to be an aunt again. That's great! I'm going to buy lots of beautiful clothes and toys for the little baby."
The eldest sister-in-law Lin Xiaomei and the second sister-in-law Liu Huifang smiled at each other, their eyes full of joy, and they walked forward together to congratulate Zhou Ziwen.
Lin Xiaomei smiled and said, "Ziwen, congratulations! Yiyi is a lucky child, you must take good care of her."
Liu Huifang also echoed, "Yes, our home will be lively again from now on."
Brother Zhou and Brother Zhou Er both patted Zhou Ziwen on the shoulders, with relieved smiles on their faces.
Brother Zhou smiled brightly and said, "Little brother, this is a double blessing! I hope the child is healthy."
Brother Zhou Er joked, "Ziwen, you're really fast! It seems like life in Dabazi Village is pretty good."
"Haha, second brother, please stop making fun of me. It's you and big brother who were outdone by me this time. You guys have to work harder too!"
Zhou Ziwen joked with a smile.
As soon as these words were spoken, it was the eldest and second brothers' turn to feel uncomfortable.
The eldest and second sisters-in-law standing by were both angry and amused.
Sister-in-law Lin Xiaomei glanced at Brother Zhou with a look of reproach and said, "Look at Ziwen, how capable he is. Then look at you."
Brother Zhou chuckled, scratched his head and said, "There's no rush for this."
Second sister-in-law Liu Huifang gently hit Zhou Erge and said, "You should also learn from Ziwen."
Brother Zhou Er smiled bitterly and said, "I want to, but it all depends on fate."
Zhou Xiaomei laughed so hard that she couldn't straighten her waist. She joked, "Big brother, second brother, you have to work harder. Don't wait until your brother has three children while you still only have one!"
Everyone couldn't help laughing after hearing this.
Father Zhou smiled and said, "Alright, alright, stop teasing the eldest and second sons. When it comes to childbirth, just let nature take its course. But, eldest and second sons, you really should pay more attention."
Brother Zhou and Brother Zhou Er quickly nodded in agreement.
Mother Zhou also smiled and said, "Our family is becoming more and more prosperous. Ziwen, you must take good care of Yiyi this time. If you need anything, just tell me."
Zhou Ziwen nodded and said, "Mom, don't worry, I will definitely take good care of Yiyi."
Hearing the noise outside, Chen Shiying and Chen Qiaoyi, who were sleeping in the house, also woke up.
Chen Qiaoyi came out sleepily. Seeing everyone there, she asked in confusion, "Why is it so lively?"
Zhou Ziwen walked forward with a smile, gently put his arm around her shoulders, and said, "Yiyi, we told everyone the news of your pregnancy, and everyone is happy for us."
Chen Qiaoyi was slightly stunned, then a happy smile appeared on her face. She lowered her head shyly and said, "So that's how it is."
Chen Shiying also walked out of the house. There was a hint of complicated emotions in her eyes, but it was quickly covered up by a smile.
Zhou Ziwen noticed this keenly and decided to find some time to comfort her.
In fact, in a few years, society will enter a stage of rapid development.
By then, there would be no problem even if Chen Shiying were to have a child.
Zhou Xiaomei ran over excitedly, took Chen Qiaoyi's hand, and said happily: "Sister-in-law, you are so awesome! I am going to be an aunt again, I am so happy! I must buy lots of beautiful clothes and toys for the little baby."
Chen Qiaoyi smiled and said, "Thank you, little sister. Since you like children so much, you should find a good family and have one yourself in the future."
Zhou Xiaomei blushed slightly and said coquettishly: "Sister-in-law, please stop making fun of me. I'm still young, there's no need to rush."
After hearing this, everyone couldn't help laughing again.
Mother Zhou smiled and said, "Okay, okay, everyone, stop standing and sit down and chat. Today is a good day. It's a rare occasion for our family to get together, so we must celebrate it properly."
So everyone gathered in the living room, laughing and talking.
Sister-in-law Lin Xiaomei smiled and said, "Yiyi, you're pregnant now, so you can't work as hard as before. Let Ziwen and Shiying do more of the housework. You need to rest well and take good care of your body."
Chen Qiaoyi nodded and said, "Sister-in-law, I understand. Ziwen has always taken good care of me and never let me do anything. Sister is also very good to me and often makes delicious food for me."
Second sister-in-law Liu Huifang also said: "Yes, Ziwen is a very thoughtful child. But, Yiyi, you are two children now, and you must keep up with nutrition. If there is anything you want to eat, just tell me, don't let yourself and the child suffer."
Chen Qiaoyi said gratefully, "Thank you, sister-in-law. My appetite has been pretty good recently, but I'm craving sour food."
Zhou Xiaomei quickly said, "Sister-in-law, do you want something sour? I know there's a shop that makes really delicious sour plum soup. I'll go buy some for you tomorrow. Also, I heard sour radish is also very appetizing. I'll ask Mom to make some for you."
Zhou Ma smiled and said, "Okay, okay, as long as Yiyi wants to eat it, Mom will make it for her."
Brother Zhou and Brother Zhou Er also asked Chen Qiaoyi about her health with concern, and told her to feel free to ask if she needed anything.
Zhou Ziwen looked at his family sitting together happily, and his heart was filled with happiness and emotion.
At this moment, Zhou Xiaomei suddenly remembered something, and she said to Zhou Ziwen, "Brother, how long do you plan to stay this time?"
"I'll stay for a few more days after the New Year and then go back." Zhou Ziwen replied.
It is already November, and they will have to return to Dabazi Village soon.
Zhou Xiaomei said reluctantly, "Brother, are you leaving so soon? You haven't been back for a long time. Can't you stay with us for a while longer?"
Zhou Ziwen smiled and touched Zhou Xiaomei's head, saying, "Xiaomei, I also want to spend more time with you, but there are still many things waiting for me to do in the village. But don't worry, when I have the chance in the future, I will definitely come back to see you more often."
Zhou Xiaomei pouted and said, "Okay, then you must keep your word."
Father Zhou nodded and said, "Ziwen, we all support what you're doing in Dabazi Village. It's a good thing that you have your own ideals and pursuits. But you should also take care of your health and not overwork yourself."
Zhou Ziwen said gratefully, "Dad, I understand. I will take good care of myself."
Zhou Ma also said, "Ziwen, when you go back this time, please bring some gifts for the villagers. They've been so kind to you, and we want to express our gratitude."
Zhou Ziwen said, "Mom, I will. In fact, the people in the village are very simple and kind. They are good to me, and I am willing to do something for them."
At this time, Chen Shiying said, "Mom, we brought back a lot of specialties from Dabazi Village this time. We'll share them with everyone later."
Zhou Ma smiled and said, "Okay, okay, you guys are so thoughtful."
Everyone chatted for a while, and the topic gradually turned to the children of Brother Zhou and Brother Zhou.
Sister-in-law Lin Xiaomei said with a smile: "Our Mingming is very naughty now. He runs around all day long and never stops for a moment."
Brother Zhou Er also smiled and said, "Our Yueyue is also very cute, but sometimes she is a little willful, but that's how children are."
Zhou Xiaomei smiled and said, "I think Mingming and Yueyue are both very cute. I like them very much."
Everyone chatted and enjoyed this warm time.
Before she knew it, dinner time was approaching, and Zhou Ma got up and went to the kitchen to prepare dinner. (End of this chapter)
