When the two children cried, Zhou Qinglan didn't need to do anything. Zhang Shuzhen and Qin Qiuyan each picked up one of them and gently patted and soothed them until they fell asleep in no time.
"This child is so adorable, the more I look at him, the more handsome he becomes." Even after the child had fallen asleep, Qin Qiuyan was reluctant to let go and still held him in her arms.
"Sister-in-law, I envy you so much. You are so blessed to have both a son and a daughter, and your children are all successful."
Xinhua and Xinyu are such chubby, bright and clever boys, and now you have two granddaughters! How wonderful that is for you!
Qin Qiuyan held the baby girl in her arms, sighing with emotion.
"I've been hoping for a girl my whole life, but I haven't had a daughter or a granddaughter. Sigh."
What is obsession? This is probably it.
Qin Qiuyan is a woman with many skills. She married a capable man, had two outstanding sons, two virtuous and filial daughters-in-law, and seven healthy and lively grandsons.
But she just couldn't get her eyes off little girls; she couldn't tear herself away from other people's little girls.
Just like now, holding the Sheng family's little granddaughter, refusing to let go, Zhou Qinglan watched from the side, not knowing what to say, and could only smile along.
"Hey, my granddaughter, isn't she the same as your granddaughter?"
This belongs to both our families. You can treat it as you like, and I'd love for my two children to share in your good fortune." Zhang Shuzhen laughed as soon as she heard this.
"Otherwise, our two families could just become relatives."
Look, we have seven boys in our family. Choose whichever one you like; she'll not only be my granddaughter in the future, but also my granddaughter-in-law. Wouldn't that be wonderful?
Qin Qiuyan's eyes suddenly lit up, and she said excitedly.
Upon hearing this, everyone in the room was stunned, and then they burst into laughter.
"Mom, do you think this is a shopping trip? You can't just pick anything you want."
Besides, these things aren't fashionable anymore. People value freedom of marriage now, and children have their own ideas. Don't try to play matchmaker here.
Liu Yujiang was left speechless by his mother's words. His mother was really going crazy.
"You old woman, you're always giving me nonsense advice. Do you think that marriage between the kids will ever work out? When the kids grow up, who will still care about that?"
"If you really care about these two kids, it's not as good as having your eldest or second son adopt these two little girls as goddaughters."
Liu Changde was also having a headache from his wife's antics, so he decided to offer an idea.
"Hey? That's a good idea, boss, Xiping, what do you guys think?"
Upon hearing this, Qin Qiuyan's eyes widened immediately, and she looked at Liu Yujiang and Sheng Xiping with excitement.
Liu Yujiang and Sheng Xiping exchanged a glance and then laughed.
“Master’s wife, in principle, our two families have such a good relationship that there is no need for us to become godparents. Even godparents can’t compare to the good relationship between our two families.”
However, since my master and mistress have both brought it up, as long as my elder brother agrees, I have nothing else to say.
Sheng Xiping was Liu Changde's apprentice. Disciple and disciple are like son to each other.
Sheng Xinyue and Sheng Xinqi are naturally Liu's granddaughters, so whether or not they are considered godparents is up to them.
However, Sheng Xiping could also see that his master's wife really liked these two girls, so he decided to acknowledge them as relatives, which would be even better.
"Then what else could I possibly disagree with? Your sister-in-law is just like my mother; she's also incredibly greedy for her daughter."
"If she got two goddaughters, wouldn't she be overjoyed?" Liu Yujiang laughed as soon as he heard this.
It's not just his mother who likes girls; his whole family does.
Every family with seven mischievous boys, who cause trouble everywhere, would desperately want a daughter.
Daughters are so wonderful, so well-behaved, cute, and sensible, such a sweet little angel, unlike those naughty boys who only know how to cause trouble.
Seeing that Liu Yujiang agreed so readily, Sheng Xiping could only smile.
"Brother, let's do this. The children are too young to understand anything right now. When they turn one year old, we'll find an opportunity to let them formally recognize their parents. What do you think?"
Recognizing godparents is not something to be taken lightly; it involves a formal banquet, exchanging gifts, and kowtowing to formally acknowledge kinship.
The two kids are still too young. We'll have to wait until they're older and more sensible.
"Alright, then it's settled. These two are my goddaughters."
This made Liu Yujiang extremely happy. He quickly filled Liu Changde's and Sheng Liancheng's glasses with wine, and then clinked glasses with Sheng Xiping.
"Hey? Have you guys forgotten about me?"
"Xiping, I'm your second brother. Why didn't you ask me about this great opportunity to adopt a goddaughter?" Liu Yuhe also picked up his cup and asked deliberately.
Sheng Xiping and Liu Yujiang were both taken aback. Then, Liu Yujiang slapped his younger brother on the shoulder.
"Get out of my way! You always have to get involved in everything, and now you're trying to take this from me." Everyone in the room laughed again.
The group ate, drank, chatted, and laughed, making a lively scene all afternoon until after 3 p.m. when the Liu family finally left.
As the year draws to a close, every household is busy, and the Sheng family is no exception.
Now, all of Sheng's children are studying away from home, and each one is very successful. The family has also welcomed new members, and their lives are becoming more and more prosperous. They should definitely have a proper celebration during the New Year.
On the 26th, we slaughtered a pig and stewed meat; on the 27th, we made tofu; and on the 28th, we steamed buns, dumplings, and sugar triangles. Luckily, we had plenty of hands in the family, so everyone got busy.
Originally, Sheng Xiping was thinking of going up the mountain before the New Year to gather some food to make a couple of dishes.
Neither Sheng Liancheng nor Zhang Shuzhen would allow it, so Sheng Xiping had no choice but to give up his idea.
On the evening of the 28th, around one o'clock, the two girls got hungry and started crying.
Upon hearing the noise, Sheng Xiping quickly got up to make milk powder.
Zhou Qinglan changed the diapers for the two children, and then the couple each held one of them and breastfed.
