Li Hanting is away on a mission these past two days.
Every weekend, Chen Shufang would have her family driver come and pick up Su Jingjing and her two children and take them back to their old house.
Back at the old house, the two children bounced around like wild horses.
The mother-in-law, daughter-in-law, and Li Yuehuan gathered in the living room for a heart-to-heart talk.
"Sister-in-law, you'll be giving birth in three months, right?"
Su Jingjing looked at Ouyang Qian's protruding belly and calculated the delivery time.
However, Ouyang Qian is quite thin, and her belly doesn't look as big as others'.
Ouyang Qian gently stroked her belly, radiating maternal warmth.
"Yes, there are still more than three months left."
Although this pregnancy caused her a lot of suffering, she still enjoyed it.
She's already much luckier; her mother-in-law takes meticulous care of her every day, and Han Chen occasionally helps out when he comes back on vacation.
"If only this child were as well-behaved as An'an and Yuanyuan."
Ouyang Qian turned her head to look at Su Jingjing.
Yuanyuan burst in like a little cannonball, slightly out of breath, "Auntie, is this a little brother or a little sister?"
An'an followed behind at a leisurely pace.
Ouyang Qian smiled gently, "So, does Yuanyuan hope for a younger brother or sister?"
Yuanyuan pondered for a moment, her bright eyes sparkling as if she possessed a spirit.
"I like my little sister, so I'll give her my doll to play with later."
"Sister-in-law, children say things without thinking, please don't take offense."
Su Jingjing was startled, fearing that Ouyang Qian might be jealous.
After all, the phenomenon of valuing sons over daughters is still quite serious in any era.
Ouyang Qian waved her hand with a smile, "Achen and I also hope this baby will be a girl."
She didn't have such outdated ideas, but her family hoped for a boy, fearing her mother-in-law would have a problem with her.
The Li family is somewhat special; girls seem to be more favored.
Huanhuan and Yuanyuan are good examples.
Chen Shufang put down the tiger-head shoes in her hand and looked at her two daughters-in-law. "Whether it's a boy or a girl, they are all treasures of our Li family, and we will love them equally."
"Qianqian, Hanchen will be back in a couple of days. He can take you for your prenatal checkup then."
Li Hanchen tries to come back once a week, and even though it's a lot of travel, he enjoys it.
After a two-day weekend, Su Jingjing took her two children back to her family home.
At this moment, Li Hanting also returned from his mission.
"Honey, I've got something good for you."
"What?"
Su Jingjing dried the water droplets from her hands.
What is so mysterious?
Li Hanting opened an exquisite box containing saffron.
"During my mission, I heard that saffron soaked in water is good for women's skin, so I bought some to bring back."
Su Jingjing stared blankly at the box full of saffron. She knew that this stuff was not only expensive but also very rare.
"You're out of money, aren't you?" The man only had a few dozen yuan on him.
Li Hanting answered truthfully, "I have a few dollars left."
"fool."
Su Jingjing smiled, touched. He was really willing to spend money on her and her two children.
Just as the two were getting emotional, two children ran back from outside, and they quickly separated.
Su Jingjing lowered her head to hide her embarrassment. "I'll go make some saffron."
Li Hanting wanted to follow, but the children hadn't seen him for days and missed him terribly, so each of them clung to one of his legs.
"Daddy, play with Yuanyuan."
Looking at his daughter's pleading eyes, Li Hanting couldn't bear to refuse, so he reluctantly sat down to play with her.
Su Jingjing listened intently to the sounds coming from the living room, finding it somewhat amusing.
When she brought out the tea, Yuanyuan looked up at her like a curious child and asked.
The colors are actually quite nice.
"Mom, what is this? Is it delicious?"
An'an also curiously came over.
"this……"
Su Jingjing originally wanted to say that children shouldn't drink this, but An'an and Yuanyuan were at an age of curiosity and had a lot of mischievous ideas in their minds.
She would occasionally outwit and outmaneuver them.
The more you tell them they can't drink it, the more curious they become.
Nothing in the house can escape An'an's sharp eyes. If Yuanyuan acts cute, An'an will definitely try her best to become her sister's accomplice.
Su Jingjing gave each of them a sip, and An'an and Yuanyuan both thought it tasted bad and stuck out their tongues frantically.
His frowning, disdainful expression amused her.
"Want another bite?" Su Jingjing asked with a smile.
An'an and Yuanyuan shook their heads decisively.
Yuanyuan pouted and said, "Mommy, this tastes weird, it doesn't taste good."
"Soda tastes better."
Last time, my aunt secretly bought three bottles of soda, and the three of us drank them outside before going home.
It's sweet and delicious.
What kind of soda?
Su Jingjing exchanged a glance with the man.
Could it be that Ah Ting bought it?
"Honey, I didn't buy it."
Yuanyuan quickly covered her mouth, her eyes darting away.
Oh no, she let it slip!
My aunt said we shouldn't tell anyone about this, or we won't get any soda next time.
Yuanyuan looked at her brother, at a loss.
Su Jingjing saw through the children's trick at a glance, and her expression immediately became serious.
She was afraid that the children were secretly drinking other people's soda outside.
"Aren't you going to tell your mother the truth?"
Although soft drinks in the 1980s did not contain additives, drinking too much of them was still bad for your health.
An'an stepped forward and said, "Mom, Auntie secretly took us to drink soda that day, please don't blame her."
So that's how it is. Huanhuan herself is still a child who never grew up.
When three people get together, they can do all sorts of bad things.
"Mom didn't blame anyone, but you can't drink it again next time. Drinking too much of this stuff is bad for your health."
"You should drink more plain water from now on."
Roundy pouted, "Plain water has no taste."
Su Jingjing lifted Yuanyuan onto her lap and said, "Drinking plain water is good for your health. Look how strong Daddy's muscles are; it's because he drinks plain water."
Li Hanting was particularly savvy; he rolled up his sleeves, revealing the large muscles on his arms.
An An looked on with envy.
Daddy is so strong!!!
Yuanyuan tried to pinch the muscles on her father's arm, but couldn't budge them at all, and giggled.
Sweetly, she said to Su Jingjing, "Mom, I'm going to drink some plain water."
He struggled to slide off her.
The two children quietly drank their water, and after finishing, they went back to their room to read storybooks and stopped asking for soda.
"Honey, so you like my muscles."
Li Hanting leaned close to Jingjing's ear.
Su Jingjing shrank back slightly. "I don't like it at all."
The next second, she was pulled onto the man's lap and sat down.
Su Jingjing exclaimed, "Put me down quickly, it won't look good if the children see this when they come out."
"Don't be afraid, it won't come out for a while."
Li Hanting buried his face in Jingjing's neck and took a deep breath.
"What are you applying to your body? It smells so good."
