The home is lively when there are children. After dinner, I accompany the children to set off firecrackers in the yard, and everyone has a lot of fun.

Luo Xuyuan specially asked someone to come over and take a family photo for everyone. The old couple was surrounded by their children and grandchildren, and they were smiling the happiest.

After taking the photos, the people from the first and third rooms left as they had something to do, leaving only the people from the second room. The older children wanted to go to the temple fair, so Luo Haotian readily agreed.

For safety reasons, Lu Yichen and his four older brothers-in-law also went along, fearing that there would be too many people at the temple fair and the children would be separated.

After seeing them off, Luo Qiao coaxed the three children to sleep and went downstairs to chat about gossip with a few sisters-in-law.

Geng Yanqiu talked about Ji Lin: "Qiaoqiao, Ji Lin is pregnant."

Luo Qiao was peeling an orange and was a little surprised: "When did this happen? I talked to her on the phone before the New Year and she didn't mention her pregnancy."

"I guess she didn't know she was pregnant when she called you. It was the day before you came back. I went to the hospital to see a client and ran into her there. The results of the examination had just come out and Ji Wei was jumping up and down with the list in his hand. I went over to ask and found out that Ji Lin was pregnant."

"So they didn't go back to the South to celebrate the New Year this year?"

"Well, originally both of us had bought our tickets, but Ji Lin felt unwell and took two days off. We had no experience, so luckily she was just feeling unwell and didn't take any medicine privately. But Ji Wei was still worried and insisted on taking Ji Lin to the hospital for a checkup, only to find out that she was pregnant."

Xiao Ya said: "These two are not slow. I thought they were forced to be a couple before, but now it seems that this is a marriage destined by heaven."

Geng Yanqiu laughed: "You know what, these two are really in love now, it's not bad to get married first and fall in love later."

Zhou Guifang smiled and said, "You are all free to fall in love now, but in the past, it was all arranged by parents and matchmakers. They got married after just a few meetings. Some people never even met each other, but they still lived the same life."

Speak of the devil, the devil appears. When Ji Lin called, she complained that Luo Qiao didn't call her after returning to China. After muttering for a long time, she asked awkwardly: "Qiaoqiao, did your fourth sister-in-law mention me to you?"

Luo Qiao deliberately smiled and asked, "What did I mention about you?"

Ji Lin was a little embarrassed to say it, and after hesitating for a long time, she said, "Qiaoqiao, I'm pregnant."

Luo Qiao laughed: "I really don't know what to say. I just mentioned you and you called me. Is your morning sickness severe?"

"It's a bit serious every morning and evening. I just don't have much appetite, and I always feel like I can't wake up."

"That's a normal reaction. I think my grandma still has some pickled cucumbers. I'll send some to you later. You can eat some with your porridge. It's refreshing."

"Then I won't be polite. Now I can't even see a drop of oil. It really worries me to death."

After saying that, he burst into laughter.

She knew Ji Lin's personality very well. It seemed that the two of them really liked each other: "Then I'll send it to you tomorrow."

"Okay, thank you so much, sis."

After hanging up the phone, Luo Qiao looked at Zhou Guifang beside her and said, "Grandma, fill a small bowl with your pickled cucumbers for me later. I'll send it to her."

Zhou Guifang smiled and said, "There are still a lot of pickled cucumbers. I'll pack some more for you. Last fall, Yipin sent a lot of cucumbers over, and I pickled them all and gave some to your aunt and sister-in-law. Your sister-in-law and her family can't eat pickled food, and there are still two jars that haven't been opened yet."

Luo Qiao smiled and said, "Okay, then give her more. She drinks porridge more often when she's pregnant."

******** On the other side, at the He family, after the wedding banquet, He Xialan and He Dongping followed He Qiuping to his home. They originally wanted to make fun of Ning Xueling, but they didn't expect that the usually gentle eldest brother would get angry this time.

Ning Xueling saw that everyone had left, and then she spoke: "Qiuping, I am sorry for making things difficult for you."

He Qiuping said, "I can't let you suffer the same injustice as my ex-wife."

After a long time, He Qiuping slowly said: "At that time, as the eldest in the family, I used more resources than them. In fact, I was stupid at that time. Obviously, Xia Lan and Dong Ping dropped out of school because of their poor academic performance.

There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!

But my parents always said that my sister and brother dropped out of school to make me happy, and I always felt sorry for them. I handed over all my salary after I started working, and later when I got married, I habitually treated them well. But it was because of this that I hurt my ex-wife.

Because of this, I separated from my family. In the past few years, because my parents were still around, I didn't want to make things difficult for them, so as long as they didn't do anything excessive, I turned a blind eye.

But it’s different now. Xiaojun and Xiaoqing are going to get married soon. I can’t wait until they get married and let Xialan and Dongping use their status as elders to bully you every day. I also can’t allow them to bully you.”

After hearing this, Ning Xueling thought about what Xu Yuan said today. She also noticed that the relationship between those siblings and her eldest and second brothers was not as good as before. It was probably because her eldest and second brothers always used their status as elders to suppress them.

He Qiuping saw that Ning Xueling hadn't said anything: "Xueling, what's wrong with you?"

Ning Xueling came back to her senses and smiled faintly: "It's okay, I just remembered something."

He Qiuping knew that she was probably thinking of her children: "Don't worry, I will treat you well in the future."
