Beijing City.
Steel plant.
When Qin's father received Qin Yanzheng's good news call at noon, he was overjoyed. At that time, he was at work, and his colleagues naturally noticed his unusual behavior.
Upon inquiry, it was learned that Qin's father was overjoyed because of the addition of two grandsons to his family.
Without a doubt, every single colleague in the R&D department congratulated Qin's father.
After all, Qin's father was not only their chief engineer but also the deputy director of the factory in charge of research and development. He was also very kind and friendly, so while offering their congratulations, everyone was happy to send their blessings as well.
Of course, this blessing is for the two new little ones in the Qin family, and for their Chief Engineer Qin's golden grandson.
Qin's father received many congratulations and blessings throughout the morning, so he thought he would bring more wedding candies to distribute to his colleagues in the department in the afternoon.
So he did exactly what he was thinking. Instead of going straight home after get off work at noon, he went to the department store and bought several pounds of candy.
When I got back to work in the afternoon, I not only gave a lot of wedding candy to my colleagues, but also grabbed a handful of candy from my briefcase and gave it to anyone I knew.
He didn't forget to tell people that he had grandsons, and two at once.
For example, right now, Mr. Qin was almost home from get off work when he ran into the woman who lived in the small white building next door. Seeing Mr. Qin's happy face, even the way he walked radiated joy, she couldn't help but call out to him:
"Chief Engineer Qin! Chief Engineer Qin, what happy event have you encountered? I saw you on my way to work this afternoon and you looked very happy. I was going to ask you, but you got on your bike and rode away in the blink of an eye. I was curious about you for the whole afternoon."
Now that we've run into each other again, you'd better have a good talk with me!
Qin's father stood outside his own courtyard gate, pushing his bicycle. After listening to what the other person said, he laughed and said, "My eldest son called me at noon this day to tell me the good news. He said that my Lanlan gave birth to two big, fat grandsons for me. That's all."
"Then I really have to congratulate you, Chief Engineer Qin. Your eldest daughter-in-law is beautiful and intelligent, and now she has given you two grandsons. This is a wonderful thing!"
The lady of the small white building next door, surnamed Wu and named Ying, sincerely congratulated Qin's father.
"Thanks!"
With a smile, Qin's father said gently, "I think I still have a few wedding candies in my bag. If Comrade Wu doesn't mind, please take them to sweeten your mouth."
After setting up the car stand, Qin's father took out the last few White Rabbit milk candies from his briefcase and walked towards the entrance of the small white building next door.
"I'm overjoyed, why would I complain?"
As Qin's father approached, Wu Ying reached out and took the five or six milk candies he offered her. She immediately peeled one open, popped it into her mouth, and said:
"My eldest son got married last December, and I haven't heard any good news about my daughter-in-law yet. Maybe I'll get some good news about my eldest daughter-in-law today because of your family's good fortune."
Oh, right, I need to save these last few candies for my eldest son and his wife, so they can share in the joy. I don't expect my eldest daughter-in-law to give birth to two big, healthy grandsons like your Lanlan; I'd be happy with just one!
Yes, yes!
Qin's father said with a smile, then he said goodbye to the other person, returned to the gate of his own yard, and pushed his bicycle into the yard.

A week had passed since Song Lan gave birth to her twins. On this day, Song Qinghui, a soldier stationed in Beijing, had just returned from a mission when his comrades told him that a package and letter had been sent from home. Without even taking a shower or changing his clothes, he rushed to the mailroom.
"Platoon leader, your family sent you something again?!"
Holding a package and a letter, Song Qinghui came out of the mailroom. Just as he was about to reach his dormitory, two comrades suddenly darted out from his side.
One of them snatched the package from his hands with lightning speed, laughing and saying, "This package looks a bit heavy, let me help you carry it, Platoon Leader!"
Hearing this, Song Qinghui was both helpless and amused. He rolled his eyes and said, "I knew you guys would pull this. Alright, take the things to the dorm and open them. As usual, keep my share and you can take the rest and divide them up."
Every time Song Qinghui received a package from home, if it contained food, his comrades in the dormitory would all shout and share it, and Song Qinghui never complained about it.
After all, everyone was used to it. Besides, when other comrades sent things over from home, they would share the snacks with everyone.
"Platoon leader, the package is from our sister. It contains meat sauce, chili sauce, mushroom sauce, as well as dried meat and pickled peppers..."
The three of them entered the dormitory one after the other. Song Qinghui was about to open the letter to see what was inside when he heard what his comrade Wang Xiaohai said, and he couldn't help but roll his eyes again:
"She's my sister, not our sister. Wang Xiaohai, you better not get it wrong again, or we'll have a good sparring match at the training ground!"
"Platoon leader, you're being too distant. We're brothers, and your sister is my sister too. If you dare to use sparring as an excuse to mess with me, I promise I'll write to my sister and have her teach you a lesson in her letter!"
Wang Xiaohai took the items out of the package one by one, responding to Song Qinghui with a cheerful smile, while his eyes clearly revealed a provocation when he looked at Song Qinghui.
"I agree with what Wang Xiaohai said. Platoon leader, all of us in the platoon are brothers, so your sister is of course everyone's sister!"
The speaker was another comrade-in-arms of Song Qinghui, named Cui Haoran. He imitated Wang Xiaohai, and his eyes were also provocative when he looked at Song Qinghui. Before Song Qinghui could react, he and Wang Xiaohai looked at each other and burst out laughing in unison.
"Fine, you've got guts! But remember this: I'm not afraid of you, I just don't want my sister to have to worry about you!"
Song Qinghui snorted coldly and opened the letter to read it.
Suddenly, he burst out laughing.
"What's wrong? Platoon leader, what are you laughing at? Tell us!"
Wang Xiaohai and Cui Haoran were discussing how to divide the snacks, meat sauce, chili sauce, and mushroom sauce piled up on the table when they suddenly heard Song Qinghui's laughter. The two of them immediately turned their attention to Song Qinghui, their eyes almost overflowing with curiosity.
"I'm an uncle! Did you hear that? I'm an uncle! My sister gave birth to twins, so now I have two little nephews and nieces, haha~"
Song Qinghui was so happy he was practically dancing with joy. He looked at the contents of the letter and couldn't stop laughing.
"Wow! Our sister is amazing, she gave birth to twins all at once! Platoon leader, congratulations! When you write back to our sister..."
Please give her my regards, and also include my blessings for our little nephews. I wish them health, happiness, and a safe and smooth growth!
Wang Xiaohai said with a smile.
"I wish my nephews good appetite, exceptional intelligence, and perfect scores on every exam they take in school!"
