Free Web NovelChapter 1634: Chapter 1071: Going Home
During the three months, Zhou Mikang called twice, informing Chuxia that they wouldn’t be back anytime soon but there was no danger, so everyone could rest assured.
Despite saying so, how could the family left behind truly feel at ease? Fortunately, it’s a topic no one has to worry about anymore, and the whole family comforts each other, living happily together.
Liu Lianbao has mostly recovered. Walking is fine, but running or jumping is temporarily impossible. Even if he fully recovers, he can’t be a military officer anymore.
This news made him feel down for quite some time. Fortunately, Zhao Qihui’s comfort, along with the offer from GF University, assured him a bright future ahead, quickly reigniting his fighting spirit.
Qian Yan and Ji Gang’s relationship improved during these months, and Ji Gang was no longer as submissive, always feeling inferior to Qian Yan.
Initially, Chuxia was puzzled by his sudden change, but after talking to Qian Yan, she understood Qian Yan deliberately had a deep conversation with him, hoping he would interact with her as an equal.
Ji Gang explained that he acted inferior to Qian Yan, not because of her family background, but because she is such a good girl, accepting him despite his lack of possessions, willing to be with him, and he felt he could only repay her by placing himself in the lowest position, giving her enough care and protection.
Qian Yan told him that the love she wants isn’t driven by gratitude and care, but that both should feel warmth seeing each other, wanting to be together always, caring for each other, inseparable. This requires equality.
Otherwise, one day, both will become unbalanced: one spoiled by imbalance, the other’s giving becomes uneven, leading to eventual breakdown.
As a result, after the deep conversation, Ji Gang changed his attitude towards Qian Yan, becoming more diligent with a completely different mental state.
Aunt Qian also stopped behaving cautiously in everything like when she first came, fearing mistakes. Now, she’s getting along very well with Zhao Yulan and Fat Auntie.
Old Madam Zhou and Lin Yanqiu noticed Aunt Qian’s hesitation. Whenever returning to City A, they secretly asked Yu Tao if she wanted to come along. If Yu Tao didn’t return, they wouldn’t even mention it to Aunt Qian, avoiding unnecessary concerns.
However, whenever she did return, Aunt Qian would secretly visit her son and daughters, as a mother’s heart can never be truly hardened.
As for Old Madam Zhou and Lin Yanqiu, after a period of excessive enthusiasm, they found a suitable way to interact, neither neglecting nor giving forced enthusiasm anymore. Over time, everyone truly became closer.
Sometimes, Chuxia and Yu Tao would joke with them, like Zhou Jiping and Zhou Xiangping, disregarding the concerns between elders and juniors, and at such times, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law would laugh heartily.
Luo Xiaoqiong followed Zhao Qihui’s advice and invited Li Aiyuan over. This time, Li Aiyuan didn’t hastily come, saying that her daughter-in-law has many relatives and friends with her in the Capital City, leaving her no reason to worry. She wouldn’t come to join the crowd; she’d assume the responsibilities of a mother-in-law when her grandchild is born.
Over a month later, Luo Xiaoqiong and Yun Doudou each gave birth to a baby boy, both naturally. The Chuxia household became lively indeed.
Fat Auntie naturally stayed on this side, and Li Aiyuan and Lan Ailian rushed over, making the Capital City even livelier than City A.
Luo Xiaoqiong and Yun Doudou were bombarded daily by elder’s various soups. In the beginning, they tried to meet the seniors’ expectations, accepting the soups, but after just five days, they were overwhelmed.
The two little babies weren’t hungry, but the two mothers were visibly gaining weight at a rapid pace.
"Chuxia, when you had Nannan and Beibei, did the elders also expect you to eat this way?" Luo Xiaoqiong griped, holding Chuxia’s arm and sighed, "My waistline is already two and a half feet; if I continue eating like this, I doubt my brother will recognize me when he returns."
"Same here." Sitting on another big bed, Yun Doudou wore a worried expression, "I dare not look in the mirror now; when I go to the bathroom at night, I purposely avoid the mirror."
