Before Qiao Xiazhi could speak, Chen Li smiled and said, "Three months, and two more!"
Qiao Daguo didn't understand for a moment: "What do you mean? Is it two months or three months?"
Chen Li: “Twins!”
"What!!" Qiao Daguo was stunned. "Twins!!"
“Is this true or false?”
Chen Li: "You asked this question. Xia Zhi is a doctor himself, how can this be false?"
Qiao Daguo: "Mom, isn't my sister too amazing? No, not just a little, she is too amazing. She gave birth to four children in her first pregnancy, and twins in her second pregnancy."
"You're going to be amazing in your life, twins!!"
Qiao Daguo also had a look of envy on his face.
But he already has a son and a daughter, so he is quite satisfied. However, if his wife could give birth to twins, he would probably be so happy that he would not be able to sleep all night.
Just thinking about it makes me feel so happy.
Fang Mei looked at her son's envious expression and said with a smile, "Okay, you guys, stop being envious."
"I'm so envious. I can have another baby myself. Anyway, the children are all grown up now and we can still help you take care of them."
Qiao Daguo chuckled and said, "Give birth, give birth, give birth tonight."
"Hahaha……"
Chen Li blushed, and just then a customer came into the store, so she hurried over.
At this time, my second brother's wife's shop was also starting to get busy, so she hurried back to the shop to get busy.
Qiao Xiazhi was playing in the snow with the children next to his grandfather's newsstand.
It snowed a little last night and the little ones were playing with making snowmen.
Some people are not afraid of the cold at all when playing.
But when it's cold they know to come over and warm themselves by the fire. To keep warm, grandma burns firewood in a large brazier and places it here so she can keep warm while watching the children and chatting.
Grandpa is playing chess with Uncle Ma next door.
There was also a pot of charcoal fire under the table where they played chess, which was also very warm, and there was hot tea next to it.
So even though the weather in the north is very cold in January, you won’t feel cold at all when you’re sitting by the fire and basking in the sun.
Grandma boiled a pot of hot sweet rice wine, added two eggs and brown sugar, poured a bowl for Qiao Xiazhi, and asked:
"By the way, Xia Zhi, Xiao Yang has been transferred here to serve in the army. Does your aunt know about this?"
Qiao Xiazhi took the hot sweet rice wine and said, "I know. I called Dongzhi and asked him to tell my aunt."
"Don't mention how happy my aunt was when she found out."
"By the way, Dongzhi asked us if we want to go home for the New Year this year. She and Su Fang have both applied for annual leave and are planning to go home for the New Year."
Hearing this, grandma asked, "Tingting is so young, is it okay to run with her?"
The Tingting that grandma mentioned is the daughter of Dongzhi and Su Fangsheng, named Su Tingting, who was born in July last year.
Since they were both in the north, Qiao Xiazhi took three days off to visit her.
It's good for the couple over there.
Qiao Xiazhi: "What's wrong with that? It's still cold in the north during the New Year, but it's much warmer in the south. As long as we don't run from a warm place to a cold place, it won't be too hard for the children."
"What's more, the child was born in Beijing. Although her grandmother is not very happy with Dongzhi, the child is still their granddaughter after all."
"Then I kept asking them to take the child back home."
Zhu Shizhen looked worried: "But where will they live if we go back? They have such a big family and only such a small yard."
Qiao Xiazhi: "That's easy. If we don't go back, we can just let them live in my yard."
"If all else fails, I'll just be back for a week or so, so I can stay in a guest house for a week."
"It's a difficulty, we can overcome it with a little effort. If I don't go back, that old lady will keep nagging me."
Zhu Shizhen nodded after hearing this: "That's true."
Qiao Xiazhi: "So are you guys going back? If you are, I'll make arrangements and you can go back with me. If you are not, I'll save you the trouble."
The time since my family came out was three years ago on the winter solstice, and now it’s four years ago.
They got married in 1978 when they were a freshman in college, and then they arranged a dinner for the two elders during the summer vacation, so the whole family went back.
Later, when Dongzhi gave birth to a child, they went to Beijing. Not everyone went, only she took her grandmother and her mother, as well as Xiaohua.
It’s already 83 years.
Come to think of it, it’s been so fast, she has been here for almost ten years.
When it comes to going home, grandma definitely wants to go back.
Although there are not many relatives to visit, those people in the Qiao family are not good people.
But now that we are living a good life, who wouldn’t want to go back and show off?
I went back four years ago and stayed at home for only two days before coming here.
At this time, Qiao Daguo walked out of the store and said, "By the way, Xia Zhi, should we go back home to celebrate the New Year this year? We have been away for many years and have not yet gone home to celebrate the New Year."
Qiao Daguo didn't know whether he had heard their conversation in the store just now, or if they just happened to have the same idea.
After all, the store is right next door and the door is open. If you stand at the door of the store, you will definitely be able to hear it.
But when I think about it, it has been many years since I came out. I came out in 1977, and now it is 1983, six or seven years. It is time to go home and celebrate the New Year.
At this time, Qiao Dashan also came out and said, "Your mother and I were thinking about when we could find some time to go back and renovate the house and build a small two-story flat."
"Otherwise, when our whole family returns, the few rooms at home won't be enough to accommodate us."
Qiao Xiazhi heard this and said with a smile, "I'm afraid the two floors won't be enough. With so many children, even if the boys have one room and the girls have one room, that would still require a lot of space."
"Besides, if we are going to build them, we must reserve enough. We can't just wait until they are bigger and then build them again."
Qiao Daguo said with a smile: "What's the big deal? If building it once doesn't work, just build it twice."
Qiao Xiazhi: "Tsk tsk tsk, it's different now that you have money. But building a house is a big deal, so if you want to build it, build it all at once."
"Our land is quite large, but we need to reserve a front yard and a backyard, and we have many children, so we need at least three floors. I see that many courtyards in big cities are three-story, so we also want to build a three-story courtyard."
Chen Li saw off the last guest and joined the discussion: "I think Xia Zhi's suggestion is good."
"It really needs to be at least three floors. It's better to have more rooms than less. It would be troublesome if there are not enough rooms."
"Count the children. Xiazhi has six of them. We have two of them. What about Dongzhi? Dongzhi's family should have at least two or three rooms reserved for them, right?"
"At least four rooms should be arranged for the summer solstice. Any less than 12 rooms will not be enough."
