"Yes, I only have one goddaughter in my life. Oh, and your Uncle Wyatt's daughter is also my goddaughter. I've always raised you both as my own daughters."
All four of them felt fortunate. Even if their husbands were just average, they would be content to live their lives with such a mother-in-law.
"Mom, Uncle Wang Zining's little daughter is so pretty."
Zhang Hongmei nodded in agreement, "Yes, Ningning's little girl is really pretty. Your great-aunt is so happy now."
"The photos sent this month show such an adorable 100-day-old baby girl."
“I like it too. Ningning said she’ll bring the baby back for me to see when the child is older.”
The five women sat together, drinking tea and chatting.
"Madam, it's your phone. It's from the US."
“Hongmei, Hongmei, Victoria is pregnant, and Daniel will have an heir.”
"Haha, that's wonderful, godmother. You mustn't get excited. This is a good thing. You need to calm down."
How many months pregnant is Victoria?
"It's been three months. They conceived in the second month after their marriage. Now it's September, so it's been three months. I specifically asked the doctor today, and he said it looks like a boy."
"Hehe, godmother, you can rest assured now. You and godfather should take good care of yourselves and look after Daniel's child."
"Yes, I know, I know. I feel perfectly fine right now."
Zhang Hongmei hung up the phone with a big smile on her face. Daniel also had his own child, and the McCann family had an heir.
"Mom, Daniel's kids are about the same age as ours."
"Yes, Victoria got pregnant in June, and her baby should be bigger than the ones you're carrying."
The mother and her five children have started discussing what Daniel's children look like.
When the five men returned home that evening, Zhang Hongmei immediately told them the good news.
"Hehe, brother isn't in such a hurry now," Zhang Weiyu said with a smile. He and Daniel were the closest, so he knew Daniel's feelings better than anyone else.
It's December now, and the family planning proposal was passed at this congress.
At this time, Yang Lijun and the other three were already five months pregnant, and it was really about to happen.
Upon receiving this news, the family members were not surprised at all.
Lijun and the other three can just focus on their pregnancies. Even if the proposal is approved, they won't be considered to have violated any rules.
However, Qin Shuang's dream of having a third child will not come true.
Qin Shuang was depressed for several days because of this.
The couple lay in bed. "Weiyu, with genes like yours, it would be such a waste if you didn't have a daughter."
Zhang Weiyu gently stroked his wife's belly and reassured her softly, "It's okay, this is a daughter."
“I hope so too, but when I went to the hospital for an ultrasound a few days ago, the doctor said it might be a boy, and I haven’t told my mom yet.”
"The doctor said it's possible, so let's hope for that one percent chance."
Qin Shuang touched her husband's face. "I rejected you before mainly because I lacked confidence. Even now, looking at your face like this, I'm afraid you'll be taken away by someone else. Weiyu, what should I do? I just lack confidence."
Zhang Weiyu chuckled, "Honey, I won't be taken away by anyone else, don't worry."
The couple were lying in bed, being all lovey-dovey, but Annie, who was seven months pregnant, was eating alone with her big belly sticking out.
Although a maid was provided, Anne was still very lonely and isolated without any family members by her side.
Today I found out that the twins in my belly are a boy and a girl. I imagined what they would look like in their father, and it warmed my heart.
Annie has no regrets. She has no intention of letting Weiyu know about the two children. She knelt down and begged her father for help to get Weiyu's sperm. She just wanted to have a child with him.
Heaven has been kind to me; I never expected to be blessed with two treasures.
Actually, Annie was being a bit crazy. The elders in the family would never agree to this, not even Daniel. But neither he nor his father could persuade their daughter, their older sister.
Seeing her in such pain, I had no choice but to agree in the end.
Anne gently stroked her belly and sang to the children; her beautiful singing made the babies inside her move slightly.
It was February of 1989, which was the 29th day of the twelfth lunar month.
Xiao Wu and the other two are back. In another six months, they will be able to go down the mountain. Jia and Lu Jing have very high opinions of the three of them.
Xiao Wu and his two friends found their eight-month-old nephews particularly amusing.
"Xiao Wu, are you asking for trouble? Why did you provoke them? Do you enjoy hearing them yell and scream?"
Zhang Hongmei was so angry she wanted to grab a feather duster. These five children rarely cried. Even when Xiao Wu bullied them, they would only yell and scream, but they wouldn't cry.
"Mom, I didn't bully them at all. I just like them."
"Get out of here, is something this rare?"
"Mom, how can you not believe me? I really do love them. If you don't believe me, ask Xiao Liu and Xiao Qi."
"Even if the three of you wore the same pair of pants, they would still find them too big."
The three of them exchanged glances; Mom's description was absolutely brilliant.
The whole family was finally together that evening. Gu Chuanming was overjoyed, looking at this person and that person. "Weiyu, what's wrong?"
"I don't know, I just felt anxious. I feel better now. I've never had this happen before."
Bai Xue came in and felt Zhang Weiyu's pulse. "Third Young Master is fine. I can't really explain what's going on."
"Great-Grandpa, Grandpa, I'm fine. I just haven't had enough rest. Don't worry about me." He patted Qin Shuang's hand after saying that.
Anne was looking at the two children who had been born via cesarean section.
Daniel stood to one side, also watching his niece and nephew.
"Sis, they really do look so much like their dad, except for their hair and eyes, which are like yours."
Anne smiled weakly, looking at the two children beside her, feeling as if she now possessed the world.
"Daniel, thank you, sister. Thank you for tolerating my willfulness."
"Sister, as long as you don't regret it, that's fine. If Weiyu finds out about this, we'll be facing the prospect of losing him."
Anne nodded. "I know, I don't regret it. I won't let Weiyu see these two children."
"Daniel, you should go back. Victoria is eight months pregnant too. Go back and keep her company."
"No need, I told Grandma I'm away on a business trip and won't be back for the next few days. I'll stay here to take care of you."
"I'll call Dad in a bit. You rest, I'll stay here with you."
Anne closed her eyes; after all, she had a C-section and was very weak.
