Looking at the two little ones in her arms, Mu Run felt content, as if there was nothing more to be confused about in life, and that this was the perfect ending.
"Look at my two children, they're so beautiful even at such a young age. They'll be heartthrobs when they grow up."
"Indeed. I've been delivering babies for thirty years, countless children, but none have been as beautiful as this pair. They'll surely grow up to be outstanding individuals," Mother An praised sincerely.
Mother Qin was also extremely fond of her, saying, "She's a beauty in the making."
Yao Yao leaned in to look, "You have a younger brother and sister now."
Mu Run laughed and said, "You call me sister, and they call you aunt, so you're not my younger brother or sister."
Yao Yao smiled shyly, "Mm."
Wang Yaozong peeked in through the doorway, listening to their conversation with great curiosity. "Sister Run, can I come in and take a look?"
"Of course you can, come in and have a look," Mu Run invited.
Wang Yaozong entered the room somewhat awkwardly, walked to the bedside, and looked at the two tiny babies on the bed, no bigger than his two hands. "So small..."
Yao Yao glared at him, "Brother was this small when he was little too."
Wang Yaozong scratched his head. "Oh, who's the older one, and who's the younger one?"
Mother An pointed to the little figure placed in the plum blossom bundle, "Sister."
Then, pointing to the little figure inside the bamboo bundle, he said, "Little brother."
Mu Run said, "However, they are only a little bit different in age and are quite well-proportioned. If you don't tell them, you can't tell who is older or younger at all."
Yao Yao asked, "Sister, have you named them yet?"
Mu Run nodded, "Of course, during this time of pregnancy, I didn't do anything else but think of a name."
"What's it called?"
"My older sister's nickname is Huanhuan, and her formal name is Muyunxian. I hope she can grow up to be a woman of great virtue and talent, but the most fundamental intention and outcome is to never forget what she loves. My younger brother's name is Tuantuan, and his formal name is Muyunning. I don't have any other thoughts; I just want him to be quieter. I've heard that boys are usually very mischievous and easily hurt, so I hope he can be quieter and think things through before acting. Tuantuan means 'reunion and harmony,' so that he won't forget his mother after he gets married."
"Haha, Huanhuan and Tuantuan, Muyunxian and Muyunning, are all good names. As expected of Madam Mu, who is literate, she is so particular about the names she chooses for her children," Qin's mother said with a smile.
Yao Yao looked at the two little ones and said, "Huanhuan, Tuantuan, I'm your Aunt Yao Yao. I'll take you to play from now on, okay?"
...
The civil war between the Northern Jin and Middle Jin dynasties was suspended during the busy spring planting season.
Agriculture is the foundation of a nation. No matter how fierce the fighting, the foundation of the nation must not be destroyed. Otherwise, even if one side wins, they will be no better than fifty paces away from the devastation and ruins that are everywhere.
In the end, it will only allow others to reap the benefits!
And this fisherman was none other than the Hidden King of Chongyang.
Or perhaps, the restless state of Wu.
But in any case, the people finally breathed a sigh of relief. The conscripts were no longer seen in the streets and alleys, and many soldiers were even temporarily discharged and returned to their fields.
Mu Run had a lot of grain, but she didn't own any land and didn't plan to farm it. She doubled the price based on cost, and the grain was snapped up.
She could see that the world was still unstable. Although there seemed to be only three forces, in reality, with the addition of the Wu Kingdom, there were four corners, and they could fight again at any time. The current situation was just a temporary intermission.
"The warm spring sun is so comforting." Mu Run lay on a deck chair in the yard, basking in the sun, while two little ones slept soundly in a large cradle beside her.
The two children are growing very fast, and she is worried that they are calcium deficient, so she takes them out to sunbathe whenever the weather is nice.
