When Sister-in-law He learned that she had given birth to two grandsons, she couldn't wait to go over and take a look at the baby boy. After confirming that he was a boy, her face lit up with joy. She held him up to show Brother He, saying, "He looks exactly like He Ziqian when he was a child!"
"It does look somewhat similar!" Brother He said with a smile.
He Ziqian said smugly, "My son will definitely look like me."
He was fooled by Sun Sijia last time, but he won't be so easily fooled this time.
Mother He glanced at the child in her arms. The child looked like Feng Qianqian. It seemed that one child resembled the father and the other resembled the mother.
Mother He held her eldest grandson up for the old man to see, and the old man was very happy: "It's a joyous occasion for the He family to have a new addition. Qianqian has worked so hard. Please take good care of the mother and the three of them in the hospital."
He Ziqian nodded: "Grandpa, don't worry, we'll take care of her. I just didn't expect her to give birth so soon. I've already bought the train tickets, but it looks like I'll have to cancel them. How much money will that delay me from earning?"
As she said this, she glanced at her parents several times, waiting for them to offer to reimburse her!
He's parents saw it, but they pretended not to and said nothing.
He Ziqian winked at the blind man.
After visiting their two great-grandchildren at the hospital for a while, Mr. and Mrs. He asked Mr. He to take them home. With Mrs. He and Mr. He taking care of them, Mrs. He didn't need to worry. She was tired and wanted to go home to rest.
He Zizhen went back with them. She was just a young girl and couldn't help with anything, so she might as well go back and sleep.
On the way back, Mrs. He said, "We paid the medical expenses in advance, so for the sake of the child, we won't ask them for it back."
"Mom and Dad have spent too much money, I'll talk to them." Brother He's salary is in his wife's hands, he doesn't have the money to pay back his parents, and even if he did, his wife wouldn't agree.
Their thinking was that even if the elderly couple's retirement money wasn't spent on them, it would still be spent on Xiao Niangao and the others; as long as their own family didn't suffer a loss, that was fine.
Mr. and Mrs. He knew what their parents were thinking. They were a little unhappy, but there was nothing they could do. The child was their own, and they couldn't say anything if the child wanted their retirement pension. After all, the child was their own.
When she got home, Yun Jin hadn't rested yet. Hearing the noise, she came down to check: "Have Mom and Dad eaten? Do you want me to cook some noodles for you?"
"No need, we ate at the hospital cafeteria. What about the small rice cakes?" Mrs. He asked.
Yun Jin said, "She had just fallen asleep. I waited for you guys to come back for a while, so I coaxed her to sleep."
Mother He agreed: "Children need to sleep more to grow faster."
He Zizhen couldn't wait to tell Yun Jin, "Auntie, my sister-in-law had a C-section and gave birth to twins. One looks like my brother, and the other looks like her. How could this be? Twins usually look very alike."
Yun Jin raised an eyebrow, surprised that the technology was really good these days, able to determine the gender, and even both.
Yun Jin explains: "Other families have identical eggs that split into two embryos, so they look very similar. Your brother and sister-in-law's embryos are two embryos they chose themselves, so it's normal that they don't look alike."
He Zizhen suddenly realized.
He's parents understood; so that's how it is.
Mr. and Mrs. He were tired. After chatting for a few minutes, they washed up and went back to rest. Mrs. He was going to the hospital tomorrow to bring them food and drinks.
The doctor said that Feng Qianqian would have to stay in the hospital for several days before she could be discharged.
The next day, when Mrs. He made soup and went to the hospital, Yun Jin said, "Mom, I'll take you."
After thinking for a moment, Mrs. He nodded and got into Yun Jin's car. Little Niangao sat in the back and asked, "Grandma, do I have a little brother now?"
Mother He smiled and said to Xiao Niangao, "He's not a little brother, he's a little nephew. You're a generation older than them, so they'll have to call you aunt. Sister Zizhen is the eldest aunt, and you're the youngest aunt."
Little Rice Cake nodded in understanding: "Aren't they cute?"
"Adorable!" Mrs. He glanced at Yun Jin, and seeing that she wasn't angry, continued, "Children are all adorable when they're little. Nian Gao was especially adorable when she was little. Your father held you every day and took very good care of you!"
"I miss my dad!" Little Rice Cake pouted.
Mrs. He regretted her loose tongue, hugged Xiao Niangao, and coaxed her, "Sweetie, Daddy will come back to be with you when he's done with his work."
Little Rice Cake nodded: "Mom said she'll take me to find Dad on my birthday!"
Mrs. He looked at Yun Jin for confirmation, and Yun Jin, who was driving, nodded: "He doesn't have time to come back, so I can only take the child over. We should let the father and daughter spend more time together."
Mother He said with concern for Yun Jin, "You've worked so hard."
Yun Jin shook her head: "It's not hard work, I'm willing to do it. If it weren't for Mom helping to take care of Xiao Niangao, I would have had a much harder time. Thanks to Mom, you are the one who has worked the hardest."
Mrs. He was moved; her efforts had been recognized, and she was very happy that it had all been worthwhile.
Upon arriving at the hospital, Mrs. He got out of the car.
Yun Jin said, "I won't go. I have a grudge against her."
Mrs. He didn't care: "It's fine if you don't want to go. If anyone dares to find fault, I'll scold them."
"Thank you for your understanding, Mom!" Yun Jin asked, "Do you want me to come pick you up?"
Mrs. He shook her head: "No need, you go ahead and do your thing, I'll just take the bus home."
"Be careful!" Yun Jin drove Xiao Niangao to the mall. Although she hadn't looked for a job, she still had a lot on her plate.
When Mrs. He arrived at the hospital, her sister-in-law frowned upon seeing her alone: "Didn't Nian Gao's mother come?"
“What is she doing here? The child isn’t hers. You know she has a grudge against Feng Qianqian. It’s already a favor that she sent me here. Do you expect her to come and visit?” Mother He said irritably, “Whether she comes or not is her business. Nobody can say anything about it.”
Sister-in-law He was rebuffed. She weakly said, "I was just asking!"
