Lu Yuan only stayed in Shenzhen for five days before hurriedly boarding a plane back to the research institute.
Wenya stepped lightly into her home, her face beaming with undisguised joy. She gripped the phone tightly, as if it were a thread connecting her to happiness. After calming herself slightly, she eagerly dialed her home phone number in Beijing.
The call was quickly answered, and a familiar and warm voice came from the other end—it was Grandma Lu. Upon hearing each other's voices, both women instantly became excited, their cheerful conversation revealing they were having a lively chat, naturally revolving around the four adorable children.
With a smile on her face, Grandma Lu asked with concern, "Did Yuanzi go back? Did he mention the child's name to you?"
Wenya sighed softly and replied, "Yes, Mom, he came back and stayed for a few days, but because the work at the lab was so busy and stressful, he had to rush back after a short while. It's already very kind of him to be able to take a few days to come home and visit! As for the baby's name... he hasn't had a chance to tell me yet. I'll ask Duoduo about it later."
After hanging up the phone with Grandma Lu and sharing the good news with her other two sons, Gu Qi'en felt a little envious of her sister-in-law's good fortune, but she didn't have much time to savor her feelings at the moment. An important personnel transfer notice had been issued—Lu Cheng was about to leave Xinjiang Province to take up the post of deputy division commander in the Jiangxi Military Region.
Lu Cheng, who is only in his early forties, has now become the youngest deputy division-level cadre in the entire country.
Looking back on his years in Xinjiang, Lu Cheng's achievements are remarkable. He not only bravely led his soldiers in fierce battles against foreign criminals to safeguard the peace of the region, but also actively devoted himself to improving the lives of the local people, wholeheartedly assisting them in promoting agricultural development and economic prosperity. In particular, the greenhouse planting technology left behind by Qian Duoduo has injected new vitality into this land, from which people have benefited greatly.
Wen Ya was overjoyed to hear the news about Gu Qi'en. Although Jiangxi Province was far from Beijing, it was still much better than Xinjiang Province. Moreover, traveling from Ganzhou to Shenzhen or Beijing was quite convenient, making it much easier to see her grandson in the future.
Overjoyed, she couldn't wait to share her happiness. So, she immediately found Qian Duoduo and told her everything about Lu Cheng's transfer. Qian Duoduo, after listening, also smiled with delight.
Seeing that the children were asleep, Qian Duoduo turned to Wen Ya and said, "Mom, when is my second sister-in-law free? Could we invite her to visit Pengcheng? After I finish my postpartum confinement, it will be winter vacation! We can bring my two nephews over to play together, and it will be so lively for everyone to get together!"
Upon hearing this, Wenya's face beamed with a happy smile, and she nodded repeatedly in agreement: "Sure, no problem! But those two little ones are not young anymore, especially the older one, who's almost in high school! I really don't know if they can adapt to a new environment and a new school so quickly..." As she spoke, Wenya couldn't help but show a hint of worry, but she was quickly amused by her four adorable grandsons, and all her worries vanished instantly.
Qian Duoduo carefully moved her body and took out a delicate camera from the cabinet. Every few days, she would happily pick up the camera and press the shutter button to capture every innocent moment of the babies, recording every bit of their growth.
Not only that, the thoughtful Qian Duoduo also specially arranged for Peng Fei to buy several exquisite photo albums and print out all the photos. She not only took a lot of photos of the four children, including the children's adorable appearance when they were playing alone, but also the heartwarming scenes of Jin Jinxiu and Viya gently holding the children with happy smiles on their faces.
When Peng Fei brought back the developed photos, Jin Jinxiu and Wen Ya were sitting on the living room sofa, chatting and laughing. Upon seeing the thick stack of photos in Peng Fei's hands, the two were overjoyed and eagerly rushed forward like two children. They gently took the photos, then nestled together contentedly, carefully examining every detail in the pictures, occasionally bursting into cheerful laughter.
Time flies, and a month passed in the blink of an eye. During this time, Qian Duoduo's health recovered remarkably well, which made Wen Ya and Jin Jinxiu very happy, as they both thought it was because their various tonics had worked.
Wang Rui, her pregnant belly prominent, walked over with steady steps. She glanced curiously at Peng Fei, who was smiling, and asked with a hint of teasing, "What are you doing here today?"
Peng Fei smiled slightly, raised his hand and pointed to the coffee table, explaining, "I brought back the photos that Mr. Qian asked me to develop!"
Upon hearing this, Wang Rui's eyes immediately lit up. Without saying a word, she supported her back and walked to the coffee table to join in admiring the photos.
Looking at the neatly arranged stacks of baby photos on the coffee table, each one capturing a moment of their growth, I realized it had been four or five days since I'd last visited. These little ones seemed to have changed again, becoming even more adorable. A warm feeling welled up inside me, and at the same time, I felt a surge of anticipation and curiosity for the little life growing inside me. I wondered what he/she would look like in the future.
After getting off work, Qian Gui came directly to pick up his wife and take her home. Of course, he also grabbed a nutritious meal while he was there. Once they got home, the two of them couldn't wait to share with Qian Gui the baby photos they had seen at Qian Duoduo's place that day, as well as Duoduo's experiences during her postpartum period. Their words were full of envy, and they couldn't help but mutter to themselves, "How wonderful it would be if our baby could be as cute as this in the future!"
Hearing this, Qian Gui smiled gently. He softly embraced his lover's slender waist, carefully placing his hands on her slightly protruding belly, and whispered reassuringly, "Darling, don't worry! Our baby will be incredibly cute!" He then leaned down and gently kissed Wang Rui's rosy cheek. This sudden act of intimacy startled Wang Rui at first, then her face blossomed into a radiant smile. She nodded shyly, and slowly placed her hands on her own belly, feeling the presence of the little life within her. An indescribable happiness filled the room…
