Several military wives who were returning from grocery shopping couldn't help but chuckle as they passed by.
Liu Xiulan was holding a bag of eggplants, planning to make eggplant fritters when she got home at noon. She looked at Zhang Hongxia next to her with a smile on her face.
"I heard that these two children are new here, and they seem to be Chief Xie's twins. But they don't look alike at all. The two children each have their own unique features. They are so cute and adorable."
Zhang Hongxia turned her head and glanced at it: "One looks like the father and the other looks like the mother. Twins are supposed to look different. You know, these two little ones look like they used to be used to deliver food. They're big enough to be useful."
Although we haven't met the children's mother yet, we can already tell from the children's features that their parents have excellent genes.
Liu Xiulan sighed softly: "We've been married for three years now, and my belly is so uncooperative. Forget about twins, there's not even a son or daughter yet. My husband isn't worried, but I'm so anxious."
Zhang Hongxia slowed her pace and gently comforted her, "Having a child is a matter of fate. Don't put too much pressure on yourself. The more anxious you are, the less likely it is to happen. Besides, you've been separated for two and a half years out of the three years you've been married. You've only been together for less than half a year in total. Be patient and wait a little longer. You're both so young, you'll have a child eventually."
Liu Xiulan nodded and said nothing more.
The fact that she hadn't been able to have children had become a major worry for her. When she lived in the countryside, her mother-in-law made her take countless prescriptions.
But it never seems to work, and now that I see other people's children are so cute, I'm even more anxious.
"Hey, I've heard that people who can't get pregnant will catch some good luck if they hang out with people who have both a son and a daughter. When you have time, try to find out about the mother of the child. It's a bit of a mystery, but what if you're just a little bit unlucky?"
Liu Xiulan's eyes lit up: "I've heard of this method before when I was in the countryside. I'll go and find out which courtyard this family lives in this afternoon, and deliver some fruits and vegetables to them."
That's how it is for people living in the compound; everyone usually lives close together.
In daily life and at work, it's inevitable that we'll run into each other.
If you send vegetables to my family, and I send fruit to my family, we can become quite familiar with each other in just a few days.
Li Chunyan, who was walking behind, held the child next to her tightly and pouted. She walked silently to Zhao Lijuan's side.
"Did you see those two kids just now? Yesterday, Wanying told me that her sister-in-law is no pushover!"
Li Chunyan and Zhao Lijuan met Xie Wanying on their first day in the compound.
They've lived here for five or six years. Xie Wanying hasn't come back much since she got married, but she suddenly returned yesterday.
As the two chatted about everyday things, they learned about Xie Zhiyan's remarkable abilities.
Zhao Lijuan held her child in her arms and carried vegetables in her hands, looking completely bewildered.
"Huh? When did she come? I didn't know that."
Li Chunyan lowered her voice as she looked at the two people walking ahead: "The mother of these two children is Chief Xie's wife. She was originally the daughter of a capitalist, but her family background was bad, and she was reported by a kind person. Her family was raided, and she was supposed to be sent to the countryside. She brought her two children to seek refuge with Chief Xie."
As she spoke, she rolled her eyes at the two children.
