Xiaoman opened it and looked inside: "My younger brother got into university."
Han Bin: "Which university did Xiaohan get into?"
"Beijing University".
"sharp."
Nao Nao: "Is Beijing University really that good?"
Han Bin: "Mm."
Tengteng: "Then I'll also apply to Beijing University in the future."
Nao Nao: "I'll take the exam too."
Han Bin: "Don't you want to be commanders anymore?"
Nao Nao and Tengteng: "Yes."
Han Bin: "Then you should still apply to the school that your father attended. That school is also very prestigious. Many generals have come from that school."
The two brothers exchanged a glance.
Nao Nao: "Then let's try for the school Dad went to."
Tengteng: "Mm."
Xiaoman smiled. "When your younger brothers grow up, Mom will take you to visit your uncle at the university in Beijing."
Nao Nao and Tengteng: "Okay."
Chen Chuan and Old Mrs. Chen stayed for a few days before leaving.
Li Guixiang quickly became familiar with the neighbors. After getting to know them, she learned that Xiaoman had given birth to four sons. To be honest, Li Guixiang was quite envious.
This morning, Li Guixiang learned from her neighbor that Han Bin had become a brigade commander not long after graduating from military academy.
After lunch, Tang Huihui called Zhang Jun into her room: "Is the Commander Han that your brother-in-law mentioned the other day Wang Xiaoman's husband?"
Li Guixiang will find out about this sooner or later: "Yes."
"Your brother-in-law and he are very close?"
"Um."
"Then... will he tell your brother-in-law that you used to want to marry Wang Xiaoman?"
"Won't."
"Really not? If he tells you, won't your brother-in-law have a problem with you? Won't Jiaojiao make a scene?"
Zhang Jun wanted to say that they had known he liked Xiaoman for a long time. Chen Jiao wanted to investigate him, and she would probably ask her family for help. This time, Chen Chuan said so much to him as soon as they met. Chen Jiao and Chen Chuan also had such a good relationship. All signs indicated that the Chen family had known he had someone he liked for a long time. "No. Mother, don't worry. Han Bin is very smart. There are some things he would rather keep to himself than tell anyone."
"What's so smart about him? I think he's just a bandit."
Zhang Jun didn't think so: "Commander Wang admires him, Division Commander Huo also thinks he's good, and Director Guo of the cultural troupe often goes to his house for a meal. My brother-in-law also calls him brother."
"How did your brother-in-law end up hanging out with that family?"
"I have no idea."
Li Guixiang looked at Zhang Jun: "Do you think Wang Xiaoman has a secret recipe?"
"A secret recipe?"
"Hmm. Otherwise, how could she have given birth to sons twice? And twins both times?"
Zhang Jun smiled and said, "If anyone has twins, it's Han Bin. I heard that his older brother's family also has a pair of twins."
"Yeah?"
"Yes. His older brother's twins are actually a boy and a girl."
"That's great. Or... or you could ask Han Bin, maybe his family really has a secret recipe."
Zhang Jun looked at Li Guixiang: "You don't dislike Xiaoman?"
"I... Oh, if I could have more grandchildren, I wouldn't hate any of them."
"He probably doesn't have a secret recipe. If he did, it would have spread by now."
"Then how come his family has so many twins? You just don't want to ask?"
"No. I once heard a doctor who had returned from abroad say that having twins seems to be related to... um... what?"
"Leave what?"
"I forgot what was left behind. Anyway, Xiaoman giving birth to twins might be related to the Han family."
"Isn't there a secret recipe?"
"no."
Li Guixiang was still not giving up: "Why don't you ask someone else?"
Zhang Jun knew that his mother had always had a worry in her heart. She always felt that he was too lonely on his own, and that no one would help him if he was bullied: "Mom, he really doesn't have a secret recipe. Mom, I'm married now. Although I don't have any brothers or sisters, Jiaojiao does. Jiaojiao has several older brothers. If anyone bullies me, I'll ask my brothers-in-law for help."
"Alright. Then... then you should be nicer to Jiaojiao. If you're nice to Jiaojiao, your brothers-in-law will be nicer to you."
"Um."
In another room, Chen Jiao touched her belly. Chen Jiao wanted a son, but... if she was carrying a son, would Zhang Jun stop wanting children? Would she only have this one child in her life? If so, she would rather the child in her belly be a girl.
Since becoming pregnant, Chen Jiao has been praying to the Goddess of Fertility every day. Others pray for a son, but she prays for a daughter.
Time flies, and before she knew it, Chen Jiao was about to give birth. After giving birth, Chen Jiao asked the doctor if she had a boy or a girl. The doctor told her she had a girl, and Chen Jiao was relieved. But as soon as she was relieved, Chen Jiao fainted. The doctors thought she was afraid her mother-in-law and husband would blame her for having a daughter.
Chen Jiao was already beautiful, and she was very weak after giving birth. The doctors felt especially sorry for her when she fainted.
As soon as the doctor came out of the delivery room, he said to Li Guixiang, "Grandma, your daughter-in-law fainted when she heard that she had given birth to a girl."
Another doctor said, "Grandma, don't talk about your daughter-in-law. She's already had enough to suffer."
"Exactly. It blossoms before it bears fruit. Maybe the next child will be a son."
"Yes. Grandma, this is a new society now, boys and girls are the same."
Before Li Guixiang could even feel disappointed, the doctors began to lecture her.
Incidentally, Zhang Jun also received a few words of advice from the doctors.
The nurse carried the baby to Li Guixiang's side: "Grandma, look how beautiful your granddaughter is."
Another nurse chimed in, "That's right, ma'am, if you don't want it, I'll take it home."
Li Guixiang quickly took the child away. Even her own daughter needed help, didn't she? "That won't do."
After saying that, Li Guixiang looked into her arms and said, "Oh my, my granddaughter is so pretty. Junjun, come and see. Oh my, this little girl is really good-looking."
Zhang Jun and Chen Jiao are both good-looking, and the little girl seems to have inherited their best features. Li Guixiang liked her very much at first sight.
As soon as Zhang Jun walked over, Li Guixiang said, "Your daughter is prettier than you and Jiaojiao."
Zhang Jun took a look. The little girl was indeed pretty.
The doctors and nurses were relieved to see that Li Guixiang genuinely liked the little girl.
A few hours later, Chen Jiao woke up. Just as Chen Jiao was about to speak, Li Guixiang said, "Jiaojiao, your mother likes your daughter too. Besides, you and Junjun are still young, maybe the next baby will be a son."
Now, Chen Jiao was completely relieved.
When Grandma Chen learned that Chen Jiao had given birth to a daughter, she was a little worried, afraid that Li Guixiang would be unhappy. As soon as she received the call, she brought Chen Chuan over. However, Li Guixiang wouldn't even let her hold the baby.
The two elderly women were vying to hold the baby inside the house.
Chen Chuan and Zhang Jun were chatting in the living room.
Chen Chuan looked at Zhang Jun: "How does it feel to be a father?"
Zhang Jun smiled and said, "It feels great." He was happy to see his daughter for the first time. But...maybe after a while he'll be as excited as Chen Chuan.
"Then..." Chen Chuan wanted to ask: "So, do you like Jiao Jiao a little?" But he swallowed the words back. Chen Chuan thought: "Let them handle their own feelings." "That's good. Okay, I'm going out for a walk."
"good."
After leaving his sister's house, Chen Chuan went to Han Bin's office.
Han Bin poured Chen Chuan a glass of water.
Chen Chuan looked at Han Bin and said, "My sister had a daughter, aren't you envious?"
Han Bin picked up the cup in front of Chen Chuan and took a sip: "Pour yourself if you want to drink."
"Haha... My niece is so beautiful. Her eyes are so big and bright. Her eyebrows are so long and curved, and her nose..."
Han Bin turned his face away. What kind of friend is this? Knowing full well that he's desperate for a daughter, she's deliberately trying to entice him.
Chen Chuan had a lot more to say, but... Han Bin said something that immediately changed the subject.
