Yang Ruxin was earnestly embroidering a Peppa Pig, but unfortunately, the needle kept pricking her fingers. Eventually, she couldn’t continue anymore: "I say, I’ll just help you design so new doll patterns. I really don’t like embroidery, can anyone help out? Our baby will definitely thank you beautiful aunties in the future."
"Madam, I think this is simpler than acupuncture." Chun Hua glanced at the embroidery in her hand, then looked up at Yang Ruxin, "You treat people with needles so easily, how co you struggle so much with needlework?"
"Acupuncture is different. Once the needle is in the right position with the right force, there’s no problem. But with this?" Yang Ruxin pointed at the pile of colorful threads, "One mont it’s this thread, the next it’s that one, it’s too annoying. Besides, clothes can be worn even without embroidery. Why bother with it?"
"Big sister, you’re just lazy." Erni rolled her eyes at Yang Ruxin. Big sister used to be able to do needlework, but suddenly beca impatient with it later, "Back then..."
"Xuexue, a hero doesn’t ntion past bravery." Yang Ruxin quickly interrupted Erni with a glare, "Besides, my mind was muddled with nonsense back then, but now it’s all cleared up and enlightened. So, my brain is for doing big things now, not ssing around with these threads." Was this little brat about to bring up Yang Dani giving Guan Qingshu a sachet and pen cover? That wasn’t her doing, yet she had to take the bla, "Moreover, if I spent every day with these threads, we wouldn’t have the life we do now, at most we wouldn’t starve."
Erni stuck out her tongue but indeed didn’t say more, instead, she reached for a basket of sewing supplies: "Alright, mom and Aunt Feng knew you’d get impatient. We all know you’re doing big things, so we had everything prepared for you." Inside were many bellybands.
"The ladies still care about ." Yang Ruxin smiled, hurriedly accepted the basket, picked up the top one, and unfolded it, feeling a bit emotional inside. Isn’t this pattern... She quickly unfolded the others, and the shock in her heart grew stronger.
"We all picked these patterns together." Erni, not noticing Yang Ruxin’s reaction, happily pointed at the bellybands, "We selected three festive patterns: twin lotuses, magpies on branches, and mandarin ducks playing in water. They can be used for both boys and girls. This red one was embroidered by mom, the pink one by Aunt Feng, and they said they’ll embroider erald green and lake blue ones too. When you give birth, it should be in July, and the weather will still be hot, so those two colors are refreshing."
However, Yang Ruxin was no longer listening to Erni. The dream from back then suddenly appeared in her mind. In that dream, the three babies were wearing these bellybands. The first ti she saw them, they were red, then pink, and later... At the ti, she found the embroidery familiar, turns out it was her mom and mother-in-law’s craftsmanship.
She once saw a news story in her previous life, about a rural woman who gave birth to triplets but, unfortunately, couldn’t afford to raise them due to poverty. Later, the news drew attention, and many people reached out to help, she even sent over a box of baby formula.
She rembered the journalist in that news expressively stating that the natural probability of having triplets is apparently one in seven hundred thousand.
