Capítulo 1014: Chapter 688: Comparison (Part 2)
“Yeah, you’ve all gotten married, so if I tell her not to rush, it would be easy for to say without experiencing her concerns. Peers and elders are different after all.”
“But we didn’t get married early. Mom shouldn’t be using that as a point.”
“I hadn’t thought of that at the ti…” Lin Yanqiu looked annoyed. “To be honest, I was a bit selfish, only thinking about avoiding complaints from your little aunt.” She glanced at Chuxia and Yu Tao, “Taotao, Chuxia, you and Xiping and Xiangping shouldn’t be like mom, not saying what needs to be said. Sotis, the less you say, the less close you seem.”
“Yes!”
The two responded in unison, but what they truly felt was only known to themselves. Honestly, if everything was straightforward between sisters-in-law, it might not work out.
…
“What did you chat about on the way?” Zhou Mikang, who had driven Old Master Zhou, Old Madam Zhou, and third aunt Wang Lei, quickly went to Chuxia’s side after parking and softly asked. His car was in front of the one Chuxia was riding in, so he could see what was happening behind clearly.
“What are you worried about?” Chuxia looked at him amusingly, “Is there sothing you’re afraid I might find out?”
“I was worried about you seeing you frown and sigh occasionally; I’m concerned about your health.”
Chuxia was slightly taken aback, trying to recall the mont, she seed to frown and sigh when her mother-in-law ntioned the little aunt forcing her two kids to go on blind dates… Feeling so cared for, Chuxia’s mood soared imdiately. If it weren’t for being in public, she would’ve given Tongzi a sweet and fiery French kiss!
Everyone had already stepped into the first house for New Year greetings, and Chuxia quickly contained her emotions to act calmly, while Zhou Mikang’s lips twitched imperceptibly as he held her hand with one hand and placed the other on her waist.
Chuxia tried to pull her hand away but couldn’t, so she let it be. Coming from the new century, this kind of gesture didn’t pressure her at all. If Tongzi felt no pressure, what was there for her to resist?
This family’s surna was Wang, and their relationship with the Zhou family was decent but not overly close, so after exchanging a few pleasantries, they got up and left.
The next house was Grandpa Ding’s, whose relationship with the Zhou family was second only to that with the Jing family.
However, Old Master Zhou and Old Master Ding had ‘competed’ their entire lives. This so-called competition wasn’t due to conflict but rather was their way of getting along.
For example, now, after greeting each other and saying festive New Year’s words, Old Master Ding playfully punched Old Master Zhou in the chest: “Old guy, so heartless, went over there and never ca back, never thought about us old pals.”
“If you missed , surely you would have co to see …” Old Master Zhou snorted, “You’re always like this, only picking on others, thinking you’re always right.”
“Look, look, when can you let have the last word so I can die happily…”
Old Lady Ding quickly interrupted him: “Hey! Hey! Hey! Talking about dying at New Year? Keep going like this, and I’ll lock you in the room!”
Old Master Ding, who had been lively just monts ago, imdiately llowed, smiling apologetically: “Just so happy to see old pals that I forgot to watch my words, rest assured, I won’t say things like that anymore.”
“Wah, wah, wah…”
Hearing a baby’s cry, Old Lady Ding glared at Old Master Ding, took Old Madam Zhou’s arm, and walked inside, “Let’s see my great-grandson, he’s so amusing, those eyes, they’re exactly like his father’s…”
Once his wife left, Old Master Ding regained his vigor, proudly looking at Old Master Zhou: “No need for envy, this ti next year, you’ll be a great-grandfather too.”
Finally having found a point to flaunt, Old Master Zhou imdiately nodded: “You finally said sothing I like to hear, let tell you, this ti next year, I’ll have several great-grandchildren to keep busy. Oh, and I’ll have a pair of twin great-grandchildren by then too; celebrate for ?”
“Twin great-grandchildren?” Old Master Ding paused, then laughed out loud, “Old Man Zhou, I might argue with you about anything else, but not this, congratulations! I’ll definitely co by to share in the joy and hope my family gets a pair of twin great-grandchildren too!”
Everyone: “…” He said he wouldn’t argue about this and yet is eager for a pair of twin great-grandchildren?
Anyways, although the crowd was speechless from the old n’s banter, they weren’t surprised. While the two old masters were exchanging quips, the younger generation of the Zhou family also chatted with their peers in the Ding family.
Finding out that Chuxia was expecting twins, Ding family’s young daughter-in-law Li Miao looked at her with envy, warmly grasping Chuxia’s hand: “Third sister-in-law, you’re amazing, I really should share in this joy.”
Can such things be described as amazing? Chuxia looked uneasy but felt obliged to respond: “Well, I’ve heard labor might be quite tough.”
“I’m willing to go through it…” Li Miao said bashfully with a giggle, “Look at , shaless, letting third sister-in-law and first sister-in-law laugh at . By the way, first sister-in-law, can you feel the little one kicking now?”
“Not yet.” Yu Tao laughed, shaking her head, “It’s not ti yet.”
“Totally inexperienced, asking dumb questions…” Li Miao curiously glanced at Chuxia, “Third sister-in-law, what do you think it’ll feel like when your little ones grow and start kicking together?”
“Uh…” Chuxia scratched her head, “I haven’t dared to imagine that kind of feeling, hearing you say that, it’s like they’d be fighting in my belly, don’t scare , I’m timid!” (to be continued.
