Chapter 069

We talked for a while, and when it was almost time to eat, we went to the table and sat down.

When they sat down, there was still one table for adults and one table for children, and the two tables ordered different dishes.

Xingyu, Dantong and Mimi sat in baby chairs while the adults watched.

At the children’s table, because Shui Danling was the oldest, she took care of the younger dolls during the meal.

Of course, she took care of Dan Sui the most, and she liked Dan Sui the most among these children.

The center and focus of attention among these children was also Dan Sui.

He Ziran of Li Shuang’s family has watched Dan Sui grow up from a small baby, and has always treated Dan Sui as his own sister, He Ziyan has grown up from a small baby with Dan Sui, Doudou is Dan Sui’s new best friend, Cheng Chen has caused trouble because of his fondness for Dan Sui, so there is no need to mention that, Servant Danling and Servant Xingguo are also very fond of Dan Sui’s cousin, and the three dolls of Servant Huaixia’s family are left behind, so it is natural that they will follow the trip.

Watching the interaction between the children at this table, Li Shuang smiled and said to Zhen Zhen next to her: “See? Spike is the center of attention wherever she goes, and the children all surround her.”

Adults like it, children also love to surround, Li Shuang whispered, “This is called a collection of thousands of favorites in one …….”

Zhen Zhen, of course, can also see, smiled and said: “Do not spoil the child.”

Li Shuang said, “Girls should be spoiled like this.”

Her precious goddaughter deserved the best pampering in the world.

Of course, this meal is Zhong Minfen’s 60th birthday banquet, the real focus is Zhong Minfen.

The real focus was on Zhong Minfen. There were all kinds of topics at the dinner table, but most of them centered around Zhong Minfen.

Everyone toasted to Zhong Minfen, saying auspicious words to wish her a happy birthday.

When the children had finished eating, they also followed the adults’ example and toasted to Zhong Minfen with water instead of wine.

The younger children were a bit more open, singing and dancing.

Dan Sui holding DouDou and He ZiYan, standing in front of Zhong MinFen, tilted his little head and said: “Grandma, I and ZiYan brother and …… and DouDou sister, to sing you a song ……”.

After saying this, He Ziyan and DouDou directly sang in a milky voice: “The little swallow, wearing a flowery dress, comes to me year after year, I asked the swallow why you came, and the swallow said, the spring here is the most beautiful and greasy ……”鈶�.

As Dan Sui, He Ziyan and DouDou sang, the adults laughed and gave them a soft beat.

When they finished singing unevenly, the adults applauded them again.

Doudou looked at Zhong Minfen and asked, “Grandma, are you happy?”

Zhong Minfen smiled with a face full of folds, “Of course grandma is happy when you sing to her.”

Dan Sui added, “Wish happy grandma …… well …… that …… long… . long life …… long life ……”

It was hard to get that bit of blessing out, so she was busy raising her little hand to give herself a round of applause.

Zhong Minfen was amused by her, and everyone else laughed along with her.

***

This meal went on for a long, lively time.

Adults and children were happy, and Zhong Minfen, the birthday girl who had received many blessings and gifts, was the happiest.

When she came out of the restaurant after eating, her face was still lit up with a glowing red light.

Because Li Shuang’s family is far away, after coming out of the restaurant, they went straight home.

Greeting everyone before leaving, He Shuo bent down and picked Dan Sui up in his arms, talking to her, “Godfather and Godmother are leaving, do you want to go home with Godfather and Godmother?”

Dan Sui said without hesitation, “Yes!”

The adults laughed out loud, and Shizuku said, “So you don’t want your own mom and dad?”

Dan Sui still said without hesitation, “Yes, too!”

He Shuo and Li Shuang teased Dan Sui for a while and coaxed her for a while, then took He Ziran and He Ziyan home.

The rest of them all lived together and didn’t bother to do anything else, they all brought their children home.

When they arrived home, Chen’s sister-in-law and Ah Wen Liu Zhi didn’t go home, so they livened up at Zhen Zhen’s house for a while longer.

Adults sat in the house and drank tea and talked, while the children played eagle and chicken with Dabai in the yard.

Dabai was the eagle, Danling was the hen, and the other children were the chicks.

Seeing the children having fun with Big White, and screaming when Big White caught the chicks, MiMi also wanted to play along with them, but MiMi was only walking a little bit steadily now, so she couldn’t participate and could only be anxious.

Immersed in this atmosphere, Mrs. Chen said to Zhong Minfen, “Auntie, from now on, you can just enjoy your happiness.”

Zhong Minfen’s face was full of smiles, and her tone was emotional: “It’s worth it to live my life like this.”

When I was young, I married Shui Dafu and spent half of my life suffering with three children.

Now, with children and grandchildren, it’s beyond imagination to have a successful life.

In the courtyard, the children were still fighting with Great White.

Big White circled around to avoid Serving Danling, leapt to the end of the line, and opened his mouth to bite Cheng Chen’s coat corner.

After the children screamed and dodged, they heard Dan Sui shout, “Brother Cheng Chen has been captured by an eagle!”

……

***

It was lively until evening when twilight fell, when Sister Chen and Wen Liuzhi took the children home.

Out of the courtyard gate, Chen’s sister-in-law suddenly also said to Ah Wen, “Since Zhen Zhen moved here, I see that your spirit is getting better and better, the past two months on the body finally grew some meat, now this looks much better.”

Shizuku smiled and said, “I have gained a lot of weight in the past two months.”

Sister-in-law Chen: “Eat more good food, it’s not like the family can’t afford to feed you.”

Shizuku nodded, “Uh-huh.”

Sister-in-law Chen and Ah Wen Liu Zhi went home, Zhen Zhen’s side naturally began to prepare dinner.

Because the noon eat more, eat and eat is big fish and meat, so the dinner will do relatively simple, burn a pot of rice porridge, heat some steamed buns, and then fry a few light vegetables, with pickled dried radish, on the line.

There are a lot of people with a lot of hands, and the meal is done quickly.

Rice burned on the table, the family sat down again lively.

There is no one in the family who likes to be cold, so they are used to and adapted to this atmosphere.

In such a lively family atmosphere, Zhen Zhen and Shi Huaixia between the gap and festivities do not appear, no one mentioned, Zhen Zhen and Shi Huaixia also tacitly do not touch each other, naturally, as if there is no such thing.

After eating and chatting, they went to their respective rooms to freshen up and go to sleep.

Xingyu and Dantong fell asleep, while Shui Huaiming and Zhen Zhen leaned over the bed.

Shi Huaiming reached out and took Zhen Zhen into his arms, asking her softly, “Are you tired?”

Zhen Zhen leaned into his arms with a smile on her face, “I’m not tired, when I see Mother happy, I’m happy too.”

Servant Huai Ming rubbed Zhen Zhen’s shoulder twice, “If you are happy, I am happy.”

***

Because it wasn’t a New Year’s holiday, Shui Huaizhong and the others couldn’t stay in the city for much longer and went back the next day.

Since Shui Huaizhong couldn’t find the time to go to work, Zhen Zhen sent them to the train station by herself.

While waiting for the train on the platform, Zhen Zhen softly instructed Shui Danling and Shui Xingguo: “Go back and study hard, ah.”

Servant Danling and Servant Xingguo nodded at her, their tone serious: “Okay, Third Aunt.”

Zhen Zhen was not familiar with the three dolls of Serving Huaixia’s family, so she did not say anything.

Servant Huaixia naturally had opinions in her heart, but she didn’t say anything out loud either.

When the train came into the station and stopped, Shui Huaizhong and Chen Qingmei said a few words of farewell to Zhen Zhen, and then took Shui Huaixia Sun Deshu and the children on the train together.

When they sat down on the train, Danling and Xingguo poked half of their bodies out to wave to Zhen Zhen.

The train went away along the railroad tracks, Shui Danling and Shui Xingguo before sitting back in the seat.

Chen Qingmei said to Shui Danling and Shui Xingguo: “People still need to be literate and cultured, look at your third aunt, literate and completely different from before, people now talk and do things, and we are not at all the same level. See more ideas, more ideas and more, everything can make a few points of reason, which is like us with a nerd like.”

Servant Danling and Servant Xingguo nodded before speaking.

Shi Huaixia suddenly picked up the conversation and said, “Sister-in-law, what does it have to do with literacy, she’s just living a good life in the city, let you live in the city for a few years, also like her.”

Chen Qingmei looked at Shui Huaixia and spoke in a soft tone, “That’s not necessarily true. Look at that Wu Dafeng Wu’s sister-in-law who came to the city with Zhen Zhen, she’s no different from us.”

Servant Huaixia choked for a moment.

Of course, she still didn’t agree with Chen Qingmei’s words, and only added, “When you mention sister-in-law Wu, then I think that sister-in-law Wu is the right person, she went to the city to be an officer’s wife, but she is still down to earth, and is dedicated to doing what a woman should do. Lin Zhen Zhen went to the city for a few days to live in the city and then forget the nature, literacy is also literate to the dog’s stomach.”

If she said this further, she was bound to get into an argument.

Chen Qingmei also counted the understanding of the service Huaixia, know that as long as everything can not be said together, how she also want to argue to the end.

Chen Qingmei doesn’t like to argue with people, so she didn’t say anything further, and closed her mouth after collecting the expression on her face.

No matter what Shi Huaixia said, she wanted Shi Danling and Shi Xingguo to study hard and learn culture.

She wanted Servant Danling to be like Zhen Zhen, not like her.

***

After Serving Huai Zhong and the others all left, the house was clean again.

The days are no different from before, Shi Huai Ming is busy at work every day, after work to accompany the family, Dan Sui to go to nursery school, Zhen Zhen and Zhong Min Fen at home to bring Xing Yu and Dantong, watched the two swaddling clothes in the milk dolls grow up day by day.

While Xingyu and Dantong were growing day by day, Mimi was walking more and more steadily and Wen’s belly was getting bigger and bigger.

In the span of time measured in days, weeks, and months, these three things changed the most.

Both the pregnant belly and the small child were growing fast, and lo and behold, one day at a time.

In Jen’s company, Shizuku was in a good mood and getting better and better.

She forced herself not to think too much about whether the child in her belly was a boy or a girl, and usually didn’t mention this more to Liu Zhi, and the anxiety and pressure in her heart was much less. She also knew that no matter how much she thought about it, the outcome could not be swayed.

The days were getting longer and the weather was getting hotter by the day.

When the children were on summer vacation, Shizuku was almost due.

After Liu Zhi went to work, Ah Wen was all alone at home, so Zhen Zhen stayed with her every day.

Cheng Chen didn’t have much to do at home on summer vacation, so if he didn’t go out to play with his classmates, he would come over to play together.

He mainly brought Dan Sui and Dou Dou to play with him, bringing the two little dolls up as sisters.

Cheng Chen was reliable most of the time, so Zhen Zhen and Ah Wen were relieved.

It was exceptionally hot today.

After the hottest part of the day had passed slightly, Cheng Chen brought Dan Sui and Mimi to Zhen Zhen and Wen.

Before Cheng Chen could say anything, Dan Sui came out first and said, “Mom, Cheng Chen brother …… wants to take us to buy popsicles.”

From time to time, Cheng Chen would take Dan Sui and Dou Dou to the store to buy something to eat.

Zhen Zhen responded, “Yes,” and got up to go to the house to get money out and shoved it into Cheng Chen’s hand, “Bring back a few more.”

Cheng Chen politely refused as usual, “Auntie, I have my own money.”

Zhen Zhen also smiled and told him, “Keep it, use your money.”

Cheng Chen really didn’t have much pocket money, so he took the money Zhen Zhen gave him and left.

He took Dan Sui and Dou Dou out and led the two dolls to the store.

When they entered the store, Dan Sui was the first to say, “I want cream.”

Doudou followed Dan Sui, “Then I want the cream one too.”

Cheng Chen counted the number of people and bought six cream popsicles at once.

Dan Sui and DouDou were very excited to see the popsicles, their eyes shining brightly, but Cheng Chen didn’t give them any right away, instead he took them and hurriedly went back again. Quickly stepping back home, he divided the popsicles, one for each person.

Everyone was in a good mood after eating something so cold and icy in such hot weather.

Zhong Minfen is old and her teeth are a bit bad, so she doesn’t dare to bite into it, but can only melt it one by one.

Wen took her own popsicle and gave Mimi a couple licks and ate the rest herself.

Dan Sui, Dou Dou and Cheng Chen are under the loquat tree, eating popsicles and teasing Dabai.

Teasing Dabai’s mouth, Dan Sui takes a bite and puts it in her hand, extending her hand to give it to Dabai, “Eat it.”

Dabai wagging his tail and stretching his head to eat the popsicle, after eating the popsicle and lick Dan Sui’s palm, Dan Sui tickled and laughed.

Doudou looked amused, also bit off a piece of popsicle and gave it to Dabai, letting Dabai lick the palm of her hand, laughing along with her.

When the two dolls were laughing happily, they suddenly heard a knock on the courtyard door.

Cheng Chen, Dan Sui and DouDou pinched their popsicles and turned their heads, only to see that the person knocking on the door was Li Shuang.

Dan Sui was the first to make a sound, running straight towards the courtyard door and shouting, “Godmother!”

Zhong Minfen, Wen, and Zhen Zhen saw Li Shuang in the house as well.

The three of them got up to welcome them out, and Li Shuang had already picked up Dan Sui at the waist and walked in.

It was hot outside, so after greeting her, Zhen Zhen led Li Shuang into the house.

Zhen Zhen poured water for Li Shuang and asked her when she brought it to her hand, “Why are you free to come here today?”

Li Shuang sipped her water and said, “I’m here to do some business, and I came over because it’s close by.”

Putting down the bowl, she looked at Zhen Zhen and said, “This is not the summer vacation, I want to bring Spike back to spend a few days, before I talk to you, you did not forget, right?”

Zhen Zhen really did forget.

But as soon as Li Shuang said it, she remembered.

She looked at Li Shuang and said, “You’re really bringing it back.”

Li Shuang: “Of course.”

She said and asked Dan Sui, “Do you want to go to your godmother’s house for a few days?”

Dan Sui nodded without hesitation, “Yes!”

Seeing Danshui’s willingness to go, Li Shuang spoke to Zhong Minfen for a few moments, and then said to Zhen Zhen, “It’s getting late, I can’t stay here for long, so help us pack some clothes.”

Before Zhen Zhen could say a few more words, she was urged by Li Shuang to pack her clothes.

The first time I saw her was when I was in the room, and she went to the closet to get some clothes.

When they entered the room, Zhen Zhen went to the cupboard to look for Dan Sui’s clothes.

Li Shuang took a look at Shizuku’s stomach and asked her with a smile, “It’s about to be born, isn’t it?”

Shizuku nodded, “It’s just a few days away.”

Li Shuang: “Have Cotton call me when you’re in labor and I’ll come see you.”

Shizuku smiles again and nods at her, “Good.”

Summer clothes are lightweight, Zhen Zhen simply packed a few sets into her bag and brought it to Li Shuang.

Li Shuang took the bag and told Zhen Zhen, “Don’t worry about it, I’ll take good care of Spike.”

Zhen Zhen wasn’t worried at all, “I won’t be worried about you if I’m not worried about anyone.”

The three of them said a few words, Li Shuang carried her bag out and spoke to Zhong Minfen a few more times.

Zhong Minfen knows how much she likes Dan Sui, naturally, there is nothing to worry about, only to explain Dan Sui to be good.

Dan Sui agreed in a milky voice, “Spike will be good.”

Hearing her speak like this, Li Shuang smiled and reached out to pinch her little face.

There was no time to talk more, Li Shuang carried her bag and led Dan Sui to leave.

Dan Sui waved to Cheng Chen and DouDou, “I’m going to my godmother’s house, I’ll come back and play with you again.”

Zhong Minfen stayed in the house to keep an eye on Xingyu and Dantong, but did not go out to see Li Shuang off.

Ah Wen, holding her stomach, sent Li Shuang to the gate of the courtyard, and then Zhen Zhen alone sent Li Shuang out of the compound.

After leaving the alley, Li Shuang bent down and picked up Dan Sui.

Holding Dan Sui in her arms, she said to Zhen Zhen, “You’re still capable of raising Shizuku so well.”

Zhen Zhen smiled and said, “I don’t have any skills, at first I even brought her some food, but later she didn’t want me to do so, her appetite has gotten better, and her state of mind and complexion have gotten better.”

As good as it gets, Li Shuang still said, “When she gives birth, you call and let me know.”

Zhen Zhen nodded at her, “Okay, I’ll let you know when she gives birth.”

Zhen Zhen sent Li Shuang out of the compound.

Li Shuang shook Dan Sui’s hand and said, “Say goodbye to mom.”

Dan Sui then said to Zhen Zhen, “Bye mom.”

Jen waved back at her, “Be good.”

Dan Sui, “Okay mom.”

After watching Li Shuang walk away with Dan Sui in her arms, Zhen Zhen came back.

When she got home she still went to the house and sat down and watched the baby with Zhong Minfen Ah Wen.

Xingyu and Dantong were rolling around on the soft mat on the floor, crawling around and playing with things, going “ah ah ah ah” over and over again.

Shizuku took one look at them and said with a smile, “Kids grow up so fast.”

When Zhen Zhen first moved here, the two baby dolls were still lying in swaddling clothes, but now they can already roll over and sit up, and they can also crawl around to get their own things.

Jen went on to say, “That’s right, Spike can leave mom and dad to go to the relatives.”

Wen reached out and pulled Mimi into her arms, “I’ll have Liuzhi send Doudou to her grandmother’s house for a few days on Sunday too.”

Zhong Minfen picked up, “That’s fine, you’re going to have a baby soon and can’t take care of it.”

After saying this she looked at Wen and asked her again, “Your mother-in-law isn’t coming?”

Shizuku hmmmed, “Didn’t ask her to come.”

As soon as she finished saying this, she suddenly heard a series of heavy raps on the iron door from next door, accompanied by someone shouting in a thick voice, “Qin Wen!”

Hearing this voice, Ah Wen’s heart sank, her brows furrowed, and her face instantly revealed gravity.

Zhong Minfen didn’t notice the change in her face for a moment, and after paying attention to the two voices, she asked again, “Is someone calling you?”

Ah Wen’s heart poofed fast.

She didn’t hear what Zhong Minfen asked, and it was only when Zhong Minfen asked a second time that she came back to her senses and looked at Zhong Minfen and answered, “Yes …… it seems so ……”

Jen saw the difference in Shizuku and looked at her and asked, “Who is it?”

Praying in her heart that she heard wrong, Shizuku got up and said, “I’ll go check.”

Seeing Shizuku like this, Jen naturally followed her and got up.

Walking outside the courtyard gate, she turned to look over toward Shizuku’s house, only to see that the one shouting at the door was an old woman carrying a parcel.

The moment she saw this old woman, Shizuku’s feet went weak and she almost didn’t stand still.

Jen looked over at Shizuku’s face, only to see that her brows had knitted into lumps and her face was extremely ugly.

It took a long time for Shizuku to squeeze out a voice from her throat, “Why are you here?”

The old lady heard Shizuku’s voice and turned her head to look over, easing her breath, “You’re in labor, of course I had to come over.”

Shizuku couldn’t speak anymore, choking in her throat.

She swallowed hard, then turned her head to call Doudou, “Take your sister home.”

Doudou answered and went to the house to get Mimi.

Wen tried to relax her demeanor and tone of voice, then turned her head to talk to Zhen Zhen again, “This is my mother-in-law.”

Zhen Zhen froze slightly for a moment, then busied herself by looking at the old lady and greeting her politely, “Hello, Auntie.”

The old lady smiled at Zhen Zhen, “Why haven’t I seen you before?”

Zhen Zhen let out a sigh, “I just moved here at the beginning of this year.”

The old lady nodded, “A new neighbor.”

Wen didn’t stand outside Zhen Zhen’s house and headed for her own door to open it.

Doudou came out with Mimi as well, leading Mimi home.

Cheng Chen followed behind and said to Zhen Zhen, “Auntie, I’m going home too.”

Zhen Zhen turned her head and answered at him, “Okay.”

Watching Wen take the old lady and DouDouMiMi into the courtyard gate, Zhen Zhen stood outside the gate for a moment longer.

After a few moments she turned back around and went inside to sit down.

Zhong Minfen did not go out and waited for Zhen Zhen to sit down, looked at Zhen Zhen and asked, “Who is it?”

Zhen Zhen looked into Zhong Minfen’s eyes and replied, “Ah Wen’s mother-in-law.”

Zhong Minfen also froze for a moment, then asked, “Didn’t you just say you didn’t call her?”

Zhen Zhen had the same thing in mind and said, “That’s right.”

Zhong Minfen thought smoothly, “If your daughter-in-law is about to give birth, she definitely needs to come over to take a look.”

Zhen Zhen remembered the look on Wen’s face just now, and felt a bit sullen in her heart.

But Wen hadn’t said anything specific about her mother-in-law, so Zhen Zhen couldn’t tell more.

She nodded her head twice slowly and gently, “Uhm ……”

***

Next door, Shizuku led her mother-in-law, Feng, into the empty room in her house, brought her a pillow and a sheet, and without making any unnecessary small talk with her, took DouDou and Mimi back to her room.

Entering the room and sitting down in front of the dresser, she raised her right hand to brace herself against the dresser to cover her face, not moving for a long time.

Seeing her like this, DouDou stood next to her and asked, “Mommy, are you sleepy?”

Ah Wen lowered her hand and adjusted her tone, “Yes, I’m a little sleepy.”

Doudou looked at her and said seriously, “Then mom, take a nap.”

Arwen: “Mommy better sleep at night.”

Although she didn’t sleep, Ah Wen stayed in her room and didn’t go out.

Granny Feng suddenly came over and caught her off guard, she had been unable to straighten out the chaos in her head.

Every detail of the events that had happened was reproduced in her mind.

Her breathing became irregular, and she felt like she was stuffed with a lot of cotton.

She stayed in her room until late afternoon, when Shizuku got up and went out.

She sent DouDou and MiMi next door and asked ZhongMinFen to help watch them for a while, while she and ZhenZhen went to the cafeteria to get some food.

It was hot, and Zhen Zhen didn’t want to cook in the kitchen right now, so she mostly went to the cafeteria to fetch it back.

Walking to the cafeteria with her lunch box, Zhen Zhen asked Wen, “Did you and your mother-in-law not get along very well?”

Shizuku didn’t want to talk about all the bad things she’d been through, and simply said, “Not very well, but we don’t get along much.”

Jen reassured her, “Good thing you don’t live together, you don’t need to spend much time together.”

Shizuku nodded, “Yes.”

Zhen Zhen’s voice was warm and soft as she told her, “Anyway, I’m right next door, you can come to me anytime, we have such a relationship, you can’t treat me as an outsider, you must tell me if you’re unhappy, don’t keep it to yourself.”

Hearing this, Shizuku felt warm in her heart.

She nodded at Zhen Zhen again, “Okay, Sister Zhen Zhen.”

***

The sun sets diagonally.

Liu Zhi and Squire Huai Ming returned from work side by side.

The two of them walk in the alleyway, their silhouettes reflected long on the ground.

Walking to the front door of Liu Zhi’s house, the two greeted, Liu Zhi turned around and entered the courtyard, and Serving Huai Ming continued on.

( Important note: If book lovers can not open b a o s h u 2 . c o m old domain name, you can visit b a o s h u 7 . c o m or b a o s h u 6 . c o m alternate domain name to visit this site. )

Liu Zhi into the courtyard just after walking two steps, suddenly saw Feng granny out of the house, he suddenly froze and stopped his steps.

Look at Liu Zhi froze, Feng Mao Zi first voice: “What’s wrong? Now you don’t even recognize your mother?”

Liu Zhi reacted and quickly said, “Mother, when did you come?”

The author has something to say:
