The birth of a new life is always the proudest and most important thing for the elderly.
According to the traditional virtues of the Wu family, regardless of whether a child is a boy or a girl, they are precious treasures that everyone in the Wu family cherishes.
Old hen soup, old duck soup, pigeon soup, red dates and longan, and other nourishing and blood-tonifying foods were delivered continuously.
It would be impolite to refuse a heavy snowfall, and during my postpartum period, I visibly gained a lot of weight.
In Qingshan's words, it's perfectly round and beautiful.
Da Xue secretly pinched her thick, three-layered belly, feeling a little worried.
It took her more than half a year to lose a layer of weight after giving birth to Wan'er. She was then carefully cared for and given good food and drink, but she never recovered her waistline.
Now, after giving birth to her son, she has two more layers of fat on her belly, each one thicker than the last...
"Silly girl, you don't know how lucky you are!"
Grandma Li, Daxue's great-grandmother, came to visit her great-granddaughter. Seeing her granddaughter like this, she chuckled and scolded her.
It's snowing heavily at her place, what a lucky break!
Now that she has both a son and a daughter, she wants to see who in the village would dare to gossip behind her back that her granddaughter is a hen that can't lay golden eggs!
The snowflakes shrank back shyly and gave a reproachful sound:
"Milk~"
"Sister, what's your nephew's nickname?"
Xiaoxue wanted to hold her little nephew, but her mother wouldn't let her, saying she was afraid Xiaoxue would be clumsy and drop the little guy.
Unconvinced, she made a face at her mother, which unexpectedly made the little one laugh.
You know what, this little one looks just like her older sister...
A feeling of affection welled up within her; this was her sister's hard-won little nephew.
Her nickname is Tangyuan, you can call her Yuanyuan.
When her nickname was mentioned, Da Xue laughed, though her stomach hurt a little, and she had to hold it in.
"Tangyuan? Round and round~"
This name is easy to pronounce, but it doesn't quite sound like a boy's nickname.
As Liu placed her grandson in the cradle and stepped on the seesaw, she whispered:
"Sigh, it's all because your sister had just finished eating a bowl of glutinous rice balls when she had her period that day~"
Xiaoxue was convinced; she understood.
If she gets married and has children in the future, she will do the same!
"Xiaoxue, go and see Wan'er, spend more time with her, don't let the child be traumatized."
Granny Li deliberately said this to get her granddaughter away.
"Okay, Grandma~"
Xiaoxue didn't notice anything amiss and quietly left the house to find Yaoyao.
Knowing her niece well, she knew she was either in her sister's room or her aunt's room at that moment!
Sure enough, the raid was a success, and they caught their little niece doing somersaults!
After sending Xiaoxue away, Granny Li began to discuss with her eldest granddaughter:
"Da Xue, your sister is getting on in years and it's time for her to get engaged. Could you mention it to your mother-in-law and ask her to keep an eye out for potential partners?"
"Mother, Daxue is still in her postpartum period, don't bother with such troublesome things..."
My own daughter, I love her dearly.
Although her mother-in-law meant well, Liu felt uneasy at the time.
Both children are equally dear to her, and she didn't want to put Daxue in a difficult position because of Xiaoxue's marriage, which could lead to a rift between Daxue and her future mother-in-law.
"Oh dear, I shouldn't have brought this up at this time."
Upon hearing this, Granny Li immediately stopped talking; she had misunderstood...
Da Xue struggled to sit up, leaned against the pillow, and said with great certainty:
"Mom, Grandma, my mother-in-law treats me like her own daughter. She cares deeply for both Changjun and Xiaoxue. Although she doesn't say it, I believe her. If she finds someone suitable, she will definitely tell us."
"Yes, Mother, if it weren't for my mother-in-law's care for our family over the years, would we be where we are today?"
In my opinion, Xiaoxue is still too young; there's no rush to get her engaged. Let her stay home and rest for another two years before considering marriage.
After comforting her grandson, Liu came over and gently soothed her mother-in-law.
There's really no need to go out of your way to ask Xiaoxue about her marriage and bother her mother-in-law!
"Your mother has misunderstood. From now on, the family will depend on you and Changjun working together to take good care of Daxue and Xiaoxue."
Granny Li took the two women's hands and placed them together, as if she were explaining something.
However, both mother and daughter were preoccupied with their own thoughts and did not notice at the moment.
The three generations of the family chatted for a while, and soon it was time to leave...
For decades afterward, Da Xue and her mother regretted not noticing her grandmother's/mother-in-law's unusual behavior sooner.
That night, Da Xue didn't sleep well.
In her dream, she was not yet married, her father had not died young, and the six of them were sitting in the courtyard eating.
Grandpa and Grandma had already taken their seats, and Dad smiled and called to the three siblings and Mom to sit down and eat as well.
Suddenly, she saw her grandparents stiffly overturn the dining table, their faces full of loving concern as they urged the three siblings and their mother, "Quick, quick, don't eat, don't eat!"
The father, who had been smiling, suddenly revealed two lines of bloody tears, reached out and grabbed the mother's neck, saying:
"Stay, stay, keep me company, I'm so lonely."
"open!"
"open!"
"open!"
Daxue, with her younger siblings, tried to pry their father's arms off. Suddenly, their grandparents hugged their father, urging them to hurry up and go!
"Run!"
"ah--"
The snow woke up to the sound of a baby crying, and then fell into a warm embrace.
Her husband held her tightly, repeatedly comforting her:
"It's okay, it's okay, it was just a nightmare, just a nightmare. Once you wake up, everything will be alright!"
"Wow wow wow~"
Qingshan had just handed his son to his wife and hadn't even had time to comfort him when there was a knock on the door—
"Knock knock knock~"
Chunhua knocked anxiously on the door. After the old man opened it, she lowered her voice and reported:
"Sir, something terrible has happened..."
After hearing this, Aoyama felt a chill run down his spine.
What a coincidence!
He whispered a few words of advice, then turned around, went back into the house, lit a candle, and hesitated, unsure how to begin.
"What's wrong, my husband? What happened?"
Da Xue's heart pounded, and for some reason, she had a bad feeling.
"Honey, listen to me, you need to be mentally prepared."
“My mother-in-law just came over and said that my grandparents are all gone.”
The green hills refer to the wife's grandparents, both of whom are gone.
"How could that be? Grandma came to see Yuanyuan during the day!"
"No, Grandpa just has a cold, how could he—"
Overwhelmed with emotion, Da Xue suddenly fainted.
Fortunately, her maternal instincts kicked in, and she held the swaddled baby tightly...
"young married woman!"
"Chunhua, quickly call my mother here!"
Qingshan panicked, hugging his crying son and protecting his unconscious wife. He also felt an unprecedented sense of panic.
"Yes, ma'am!"
Chunhua didn't dare leave the doorway, waiting for instructions. Upon hearing this, she quickly consulted Aunt Ge...
This night was destined to be one of chaos and turmoil.
