When Qian Duoduo went outside, she saw it was the commune's postman. She smiled and took the letter he handed her. Seeing that it was Qian Yu's handwriting, she immediately smiled and said, "Thank you."
The other person said "You're welcome" and rode away on their bicycle.
Qian Duoduo returned to her room with the letter and saw that little Qian Yi'an was asleep by the windowsill. She quickly laid the child down, covered her belly with a small blanket, and then went to the kitchen to put everything away and wash all the clothes.
As Jin Jinxiu and Guo Ni walked into the courtyard, talking to each other, they saw Qian Yi'an obediently standing in a stance. Guo Ni looked at her son in surprise and exclaimed, "Oh my, is this kid possessed by something?"
Jin Jinxiu walked over and saw Qian Yi'an standing in the stance, not even glancing at them. She smiled and walked to Guo Ni's side, saying, "How about it? See? Taking care of children a lot does have some effect."
Guo Ni nodded: "I'll bring it again tomorrow."
After seeing Guo Ni carry Qian Yi'an away, Qian Duoduo said to Jin Jinxiu, "Mom, my second brother wrote a letter today. It's in my room. I'll go get it for you."
Jin Jinxiu was overjoyed to hear this!
Before Qian Sheng and the others even returned, she said to Qian Duoduo, "Old lady, look what your second brother said?"
Qian Duoduo nodded, picked up the scissors, opened the envelope, and looked at it. The more she looked, the wider her eyes widened. Jin Jinxiu saw Qian Duoduo's wide eyes and her mouth that couldn't close, and asked anxiously, "What's wrong? What happened to your second brother?"
Qian Duoduo said, "Mom, you're pregnant again!"
Jin Jinxiu picked up a fire poker and swung it at Qian Duoduo. Qian Duoduo reacted quickly and dodged. Then Jin Jinxiu said, "I'm 50 years old this year, where is the joy? You brat, you've been talking nonsense for so long, are you looking for a beating!"
Qian Duoduo said with a grin, "My older brother is about to become a father, so it's really not suitable for you to have any more children, but that doesn't stop you from having one more person to call 'Mom'!"
Jin Jinxiu laughed in anger, pointed at Qian Duoduo with a fire poker, and said, "Can't you speak properly?"
Qian Duoduo walked over with a smile and said, "Mom, my second brother has a girlfriend and they're getting married. He's already submitted his marriage application and it's been approved. They held a group wedding at the military base and he said he'll bring his wife back with him for the New Year."
Jin Jinxiu immediately grabbed Qian Duoduo and asked, "Really? The second brother has a wife?" Seeing Qian Duoduo nod, she said, "The eldest and second brothers held their wedding at the military base a long time ago."
Qian Duoduo said with a smile, "My brother's wedding was presided over by the military leaders. Besides, the whole village knows that we built a house for him. Moreover, we invited the best families in the village to a meal, which can be considered a complete wedding for my brother. Although it wasn't like Qian Xiang's wedding, I heard from my sister-in-law that their wedding in the military was even better. All the soldiers in the company went with my brother to pick up the bride. It was a grand affair."
Jin Jinxiu still felt a little regretful: "The eldest and second eldest sons rarely come back. I want to make the third eldest son's wedding a big one."
Qian Duoduo smiled and linked arms with Jin Jinxiu, saying, "Aren't you afraid that your eldest sister-in-law and second sister-in-law will be jealous and say that you're being biased?"
This sentence put Jin Jinxiu in a dilemma again, especially since there was a fourth child below her.
When Qian Sheng learned that his second son had also gotten married, he silently adjusted the wick of the lamp. It would be a lie to say that he didn't mind at all, but things were fine as they were. Just look at his eldest son and his wife; if his second son's wife was similar to his eldest son's, that would be good.
Looking at her mother, Qian Duoduo suddenly asked, "How's my sister-in-law doing lately? She hasn't written to me either?"
Jin Jinxiu's attention immediately shifted: "No letter yet. I wonder if Xiaoyun is still feeling unwell?" She turned to Qian Sheng and said, "Dad, tomorrow you send a telegram to the eldest son to ask when Xiaoyun is going to give birth. I'll see what to prepare. I have to go before Xiaoyun gives birth!"
Qian Sheng nodded: "I'll go tomorrow."
Qian Duoduo said, "I think you shouldn't worry about Second Brother's matter. Eldest Brother already knows to bring Sister-in-law back. When Second Brother brings Sister-in-law back, let's do what Sister-in-law did."
Jin Jinxiu nodded.
Qian Duoduo said, "Mom, when my older brother came back, he praised your mushroom sauce. He also said that their regimental commander praised your mushroom sauce. When I have a holiday, I will go to the mountain to pick some mushrooms. Please make some more for my older brother so that he can take it home for my sister-in-law and her parents to try."
Jin Jinxiu said in surprise, "Is this true? My mushroom sauce was praised by the troupe leader? Then I must make some for my eldest son."
Qian Mao said, "Mom, make more, and I'll send some to our county magistrate and director later too."
Jin Jinxiu nodded: "Okay."
Qian Rao: "Mother, do you want to send some to Second Brother too, so that Second Sister-in-law can have some as well?"
Jin Jinxiu immediately nodded: "Yes, yes."
Qian Duoduo and Qian Mao exchanged glances. If Jin Jinxiu had that much energy, she could have gone to the moon. Qian Mao smiled and gave her a thumbs up.
The next day, as soon as Qian Duoduo opened her eyes, she saw Qian Yi'an grinning at her. She raised her hand and slapped her forehead. Before she could react, she heard a 'smack'. She turned her head and saw that Qian Yi'an's little hand was also on his forehead. When he saw her looking at him, he immediately smiled.
Qian Duoduo reached out and pulled her into his arms, then covered her with the blanket. Ah, the little girl smelled so sweet and milky.
Little Qian Yi'an was still a little dazed when she suddenly found herself in an unfamiliar bed, but her aunt smelled so good!
