Chapter 470: Departure

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

The brothers seemed to share a deep connection. Although the two little babies could not see clearly yet, they still smiled at their brother.

Seeing this, Zhuang Zhuang’s heart melted and he kissed the two of them again.

Jiang Danhe smiled happily and turned to walk towards Xiaoguo with a warm towel.

“You’re awake?!” Jiang Danhe’s surprised voice attracted the attention of the other two people in the room.

Qin Anming carried the two babies and came to Xiaoguo’s side with Zhuang Zhuang. At this moment, Jiang Danhe regretted calling out just now. It would have been better if he quietly spent some tender moments with Xiaoguo first before informing the other two.

At least that wouldn’t have resulted in him being pushed away from his wife, and unable to show concern for her.

“I’ll bring you some sweet porridge.”

…..

The porridge had been kept warm on the stove all night, so it was still hot for consumption.

Finally! Jiang Danhe’s eyes lit up. His brother-in-law was leaving!

Xiaoguo smiled and nodded. She had noticed Jiang Danhe scratching his ears and cheeks anxiously. Naturally, she did not miss the flash of joy in his eyes.

After Qin Anming left, Xiaoguo patted the bed beside her. Jiang Danhe quickly sat down and gently helped her up so that she could lean against the bed. He also stuffed a thick blanket around her to make sure she was comfortable and

warm.

Just as she was about to say something, Zhuang Zhuang suddenly interrupted, “Mother, you’ve worked hard!”

“!!” Jiang Danhe’s lips twitched. This was what he wanted to say!!

Xiaoguo’s heart softened. She opened her arms and gestured for Zhuang Zhuang to go to her.

Zhuang Zhuang chuckled and pounced over. He leaned into his mother’s arms and snuggled against her blissfully.

Jiang Danhe was so envious that his eyes almost popped out. That cuddle belonged to him!

The two babies suddenly made some noises. Possibly due to the fact that they were twins, they had good chemistry. They cried, laughed, and pooped at the same time.

Xiaoguo saw for herself that the two babies looked even chubbier than when she saw them before passing out yesterday. They were both very fair and chubby.

Xiaoguo finally understood why her pregnant belly was so big. With these two lumps of meat residing inside, how could her belly not be big?

Jiang Danhe placed the babies on her and supported them gently with his hands. He knew that Xiaoguo had yet to recover all her strength.

When the two babies landed in Xiaoguo’s arms, they became quiet. Sensing the familiar smell and temperature, they quickly fell asleep.

“They just had milk.”

Sensing Xiaoguo’s confusion, Jiang Danhe explained, and added evilly, “I prepared the milk for them.”

When Xiaoguo heard this, she immediately understood what he meant and looked at him shyly.

What was there to prepare? He only had to unbutton her clothes and feed the babies.

Jiang Danhe’s smile deepened when he saw her blush.

After a while, Qin Anming’s sweet porridge arrived.

Jiang Danhe personally fed the porridge to Xiaoguo. Zhuang Zhuang wanted to hang around, but Qin Anming brought him out.

The room was very quiet now. The twins were lying by the side, sleeping soundly. Jiang Danhe was not in a hurry to speak. He focused his attention on feeding Xiaoguo until she finished the last spoonful. Then, he gently wiped her mouth.

“Thank you for your hard work.”

Xiaoguo smiled and shook her head. Throughout her pregnancy, other than the fact that she had to give birth, Jiang Danhe was the one who had worked harder. “You too.”

II

Should we name the babies?

II

None of them had expected twins, so they did not prepare many names to choose from.

Xiaoguo looked at the two chubby fellows and said with a smile, “I’ll let Zhuang Zhuang decide on the names later. As for their nicknames, I’ll call them Big Fatty and Second Fatty.”

After saying that, she burst out laughing.

Jiang Danhe looked at her dotingly. “We’ll do that.”

Big Fatty, Second Fatty together with Zhuang Zhuang—the three brothers’ names sounded very solid!

Not long after Xiaoguo woke up, Mrs Yang brought her entire family to visit her. Xiaohua and Xiaohu were equally shocked to see the two babies on the bed. Two younger brothers again?!

Xiaoguo didn’t know how Ruyi, Shu Botong, and the others found out, but they arrived before noon.

Everyone took turns to hold the babies, and fuss over them.

Although the two babies were still small, they were different from other newborns. They had fair and tender skin, abundant black hair, high nose bridges and well-proportioned faces. One could tell that they would grow up to be handsome young men.

Two days ago, Xiao Zhu and Yu Ling went to the Guanyin Temple in another county and personally picked up two amulets. They sewed them onto the baby’s belly bands for good luck.

The reason for the gathering today was not only to visit Xiaoguo, but also to celebrate Zhuang Zhuang’s birthday.

Big Fatty and Second Fatty’s birthday was just one day before their brother’s.

The group gathered together and enjoyed a big hearty meal. However, Jiang Danhe was the one in-charge of cooking this time.

A man in an apron was not something they hadn’t seen before, but they still found it shocking when they saw Jiang Danhe in an apron. Ruyi quietly crept behind him and laughed at him for a long time.

Of course, she wasn’t mocking him. She was laughing in admiration.

Zhuang Zhuang personally named his two younger brothers on his birthday.

The second son was called Jiang Xishuo, and the youngest was called Jiang Xingze.

Zhuang Zhuang was secretly happy when he heard everyone singing praises of the names that he had given to his brothers.

Ever since he found out that his mother was pregnant, he had thought about naming the baby for a long time. He had also asked Mr. Kong for advice on the two names he had come up with. Before this, he was still thinking about which one to choose, but now, he could use both of them!

On Zhuang Zhuang’s birthday, he got a proper cream birthday cake with his age written on it.

Xiaoyi had secretly read the letter written by Jiang Danhe on Shao Zhan’s desk. He found out that Xiaoguo had given birth to two boys. Therefore, in the darkness of the night, Xiaoyi sneaked out of the palace, successfully got on a carriage, and headed towards Peach Blossom Village.

Just as he was wondering why things were going so smoothly, the curtain of the carriage was suddenly lifted to reveal Shao Zhan’s face.

Xiaoyi was so frightened that he hid in a corner of the car and hugged his small backpack that was filled with gifts.

Shao Zhan chuckled and shook his plain-looking robe. He said, “I told you before. Remember to bring me along when you run away.”

As the curtain was lifted by the wind, Xiaoyi saw that the man driving the carriage had become Li Shouji.

Xiaoyi and the other two, together with a team of secret guards in the dark, finally arrived at Peach Blossom Village before the full month celebration party began.

After the full moon banquet ended, Ruyi told Xiaoguo the good news. She was getting married to Qin Anming.

According to Ruyi, she was the one who had taken the initiative to confess to Qin Anming. In the past few years, neither of them had talked about their relationship. However, Ruyi couldn’t wait any longer. When she saw that Xiaoguo had given birth, she became even more anxious. After all, she was not a young girl anymore. She didn’t want to waste any more time, so she went all out and confessed to him.

Qin Anming also had feelings for Ru Yi, but he was too shy to take the initiative. He never could have imagined that he would receive a proposal from a girl.

After getting Xiaoguo’s approval, Ruyi began to plan for the wedding.

The wedding preparations should have been done by Qin Anming, but Ruyi couldn’t wait and did everything herself, completing the preparations within a day.

Just like that, Xiaoguo and Jiang Danhe attended their wedding ceremony with the babies in their arms.

Everything took place so quickly that before Xiaoguo could react, Ruyi had already become her sister-in-law by the next day.

Shu Botong was even more amazing. As a middle-aged man who has been divorced once and was considered a “leftover” in the dating market, he unexpectedly developed feelings for Yu Ling and was planning to marry her once she came of age.

When Xiaoguo learned about this news, she couldn’t help but wonder if she had lost her mind after her pregnancy, or if the world was changing too rapidly.

What was even more shocking was that Yang Jia actually came over to ask for Xiao Zhu’s hand in marriage. He was also planning to get married after the girl reached adulthood.

Because of this matter, Xiao Zhu specially ran back and sat in front of Xiaoguo with Yang Jia by her side. The love in their eyes almost blinded Xiaoguo.

Just like that, Xiaoguo’s two little sisters have both found their significant other. Botong and Yang Jia were good men, so she had no reason to object to their marriage. Hence, she gave them her sincerest blessings.

Later on, during their conversations, they revealed that they were all motivated by Xiaoguo’s childbearing experience. To put it simply, they were all feeling envious of her.

In the end, Xiaoguo left for the capital with Jiang Danhe.

The reason was that Mr. Kong was asked to return to the capital by his son, and naturally, Zhuang Zhuang was unwilling to part with his teacher and vice versa.

At this moment, Jiang Danhe appeared and resolved all of Xiaoguo’s worries at one go.

He bought one shop beside the desserts shop and knocked down the adjoining wall. The chickens, ducks, cows, donkeys, and two dogs were then transported to the capital and kept in the new space. Shu Botong and the others were in-charge of taking care of the animals.

Now, there was nothing left for Xiaoguo to worry about. Her brother had started a family, and Xiao Zhu and Yu Ling had found themselves a partner. The animals at home also had a place to call home. The shop was now being managed by Shu Botong, and she had given everyone a share of the business. She felt completely at ease now..
