BTTS 671




Chapter 671. Yuan Yuan


Little Mi Mi also had an elder sister dream.

Don't look at her generation seniority. No matter whether it was Zhou Er Ni's twins or Zhou San Ni's Pang Pang, they were all older than her.

Now Zhou Si Ni gave birth to a daughter, she gained this desire. Knowing that it belonged to her fourth elder cousin sister's family and not from her own family, she went home and ask her mom for a younger sibling.

Lin Qing He dismissed her. Whatever she wanted, she ask. Little children were very troublesome, Especially after she could crawl. If Zhou Qing Bai didn't take on all the burden, she couldn't take of her.

When Zhou Gui Lai took his little sister away and coaxed her to watch TV.

Lin Qing He gave Zhou Qing Bai an eye-roll. Don't think that she didn't know it was him who told his daughter this. Zhou Qing Bai just laughed. Then he took her hand and led her to watch this year's newly released "Journey to the West".

All first twenty-five episodes had been broadcasted. Later, there was a sequel. The sixteenth episode sequel was finished filming in the 1990s. It wasn't available yet.

Still, these twenty-five episodes were everyone's dream of a beautiful childhood.

Even Lin Qing He's attention was capture by it. Today's broadcast was collecting jade rabbits in Tianzhu.

The family went to bed after watching it until after ten o'clock.

The next day, Lin Qing He brought the soup stewed by Auntie Zhao and visit Zhou Si Ni. She had asked Zhou Si Ni how the hired nanny was.

This babysitter had a very good reputation. She was introduced to her by Auntie Zhao. It was much better than the one Weng Guo Dong planned to invite.

She took care of everything; burping the baby, buying the grocery, cooking, and mopping the floor.

Zhou Si Ni was very worry-free. After all, Weng Guo Dong had to go to work and Mother Weng had to open a shop. She had hired a young girl. If she didn't go over, they won't be able to the busyness.

However, she did paid for all the nourishment for Zhou Si Ni's postnatal confinement. In addition, she had gave Zhou Si Ni 500 yuan as a reward.

Lin Qing He grinned when she heard it: "Just accept what your mom gave you. I heard that Guo Liang's wife also received this amount when she gave birth."

Although the eldest brother, Weng Guo Dong got married before Weng Guo Liang, the other was one step aside because Zhou Si Ni didn't want to have it early as she attending school.

Weng Guo Liang gave birth to a son. Mother Weng had also bought nourishments and gave 500 yuan. She told Father Weng to send it to the camp as well as having a look.

She didn't have time herself. It took so many days to go back and forth. How could the shop be left alone?

Lin Qing He sat there for a while and talked to Zhou Si Ni before going over to Mother Weng's.

Mother Weng was currently overseeing the hired girl put out the clothes.

She was happy to see Lin Qing He coming over. She handed over the work to the girl. She ushered Lin Qing He to come over and sit down.

"Have you gone to see Hong Xia?" Mother Weng smiled.

"En. Said you gave her five hundred yuan in red envelope." Lin Qing He jollily responded.

Mother Weng said, "The two sisters-in-law are the same. No different treatment."

At this time, two female customers came in. The hired girl went over to serve him. Mother Weng’s didn’t go there. She chatted with Lin Qing He: "Did you call in-law's mother to tell the good news?"

"I did. She's delighted." Lin Qing He said. As for Eldest Sister-in-law's worried about whether old Weng Family would favor sons or not, she didn't voice out. She spoke: "If Eldest and Mei Jia aren't getting married this year, Er Ni and Wang Yuan might bring the twins back to our hometown. I guess they won’t be able to leave this year. If next year, Guo Dong and Si Ni can go with Er Ni and Wang Yuan."

"Then would the two in-laws come over this year?" Mother Weng asked.

"I don't know what they plan to do yet." Lin Qing He replied.

"It would be great if they come here. Give me the phone number for your hometown. I will call my in-law's mother. Once it's off-peak season, they can come here to pass the new year. Next year, let Hong Xia and Guo Dong follow them back to the hometown for the new year." Mother Weng said.

Lin Qing He gave her the phone number. Mother Weng grinned and said, "I'm free at noon, so I will call later."

After sitting here for a while, Lin Qing He went back.

Today's conditions were much better than the past. Naturally, Zhou Si Ni's postnatal confinement was comfortable.

There weren't any stress. What's more, there were people who take care of the confinement professionally. No need to describe how comfortable it was.

After sitting for forty days of postnatal confinement, Zhou Si Ni started to go out. As for her daughter, she was really plump from her nursing.

Weng Guo Dong adored her. The first thing he did when he came back every day was to hold his daughter.

When Zhou Si Ni’s confinement was over, it was already November. The weather was a bit cold. She had chose a good time for postnatal confinement. It was very comfortable.

Weng Guo Dong had a rare day off, so she let him watch the child at home. Zhou Si Ni left after she fed her daughter. She rode the two-eight bike like flying.

She headed to the courtyard dwelling. Only the nanny, Auntie Zhao and others were there. Neither her fourth uncle and her fourth aunt were at home.

So she headed to the tea shop. Lin Qing He, Zhou Er Ni, and others were there.

"I was just saying that you should be officially out of confinement today. Now you're here. Where is Yuan Yuan?" Zhou Er Ni merrily spoke.

"Her dad got a day off today. He is minding her at home. I will stroll around for two hours." Zhou Si Ni jollily responded.


She had been restrained at home for more than a month. Coming out felt like fresh air.

Lin Qing He also commented: "It's best to move around. Always stay at home can make you sick even when you are healthy."

"I feel like I was flying when I came out today." Zhou Si Ni smiled.

"Have you called your mother?" Lin Qing He asked.

"Guo Dong called back. I haven't yet." Zhou Si Ni replied.

"There is a phone booth outside. You can make a call. Your mother was thinking about you." Lin Qing He told.

Zhou Si Ni nodded and came out to call. Eldest Sister-in-law Zhou was cutting duck feed at home and preparing to cook it in a pot when the grandson of the village branch secretary came to fetch her to answer the phone. She put down the work at hand and went to answer it.

When she heard that it was her little daughter who called, Eldest Sister-in-law happily uttered: "Gotten out of confinement?"

"I did long ago but my fourth aunt told me to do for forty days. So I didn't finish until today." Zhou Si Ni merrily answered.

Eldest Sister-in-law asked the key points. Mainly whether the child cried a lot, whether Guo Dong liked her or not, and what did her mother-in-law think.

Zhou Si Ni smilingly told, "Mom, don't worry about these. They all like Yuan Yuan. This side isn't like ours."

The rural areas, especially the poorer the place, the more they want to have a son. It was labor force for the family. Daughters can't do much work. After raising them up, they still have to marry out. That's why, they all want to have a son.

After family planning, many people, who want to have a son, would send daughters away. This was still more humane. The more dehumanizing ones were even more straightforward, throw away.

Eldest Sister-in-law, who had listened a lot of this in the countryside, was naturally worried.
