Chapter 488: Chapter 487: Not So Bad (2nd Update)

"Our Young Aunt is really capable," Xu Sisi exclaimed in amazement.

She saw the old uncle wanting to help, but Xu Sanya had sent him off to the side.

So, she decided not to go over and help either.

"Sister Niannian, hurry up and eat, otherwise it’ll get cold," Xu Sisi handed over the sweet wine rice cake to Xu Niannian.

Xu Niannian had gotten up in the morning and hadn’t eaten much.

Smelling the sweet aroma of the rice from the wine, she stopped thinking about Xu Sanya’s affairs, thinking that perhaps she was overthinking it.

After all, Xu Sanya looked the same as usual, and there seemed to be nothing off about her mood.

Xu Niannian hadn’t eaten sweet wine rice cake in a very long time and started to miss the taste.

She squinted and took a sip, finding the flavor of the wine quite sweet.

It was just that there was a bit too much sugar, but it was still within Xu Niannian’s tolerance.

Just as she took a sip of the rice wine, however, her stomach reacted.

The little one kicked her twice.

Xu Niannian was used to the little one’s fuss, and after it kicked her, she patted her belly gently with her eyes squinted, "Baby, do you like the drink too?"

The baby gave a couple of kicks, and Xu Niannian immediately understood, softly caressing her tummy as though she was stroking its little head.

"Alright, then mommy will eat a bit more."

After that, Xu Niannian finished one bowl and then helped herself to another.

The little one in her belly was already excitedly dancing around.

"Sis, your belly looks like it’s about to give birth, huh?" Chen Xiaorou finished eating, put her bowl aside, and seeing Xu Niannian talk to her belly, she couldn’t help but be curious.

Upon hearing this, Xu Niannian said with amusement, "Not yet, around six months, it’s still early."

"Only six months?" Chen Xiaorou found it unbelievable: "It’s that big already?"

It looked as though she was about to give birth at any moment. Some skinny women weren’t even as big as Xu Niannian’s belly after more than nine months of pregnancy.

And aside from her belly, Xu Niannian was thin everywhere else, which made it look even more exaggerated.

Xu Sisi chipped in, "Sister Niannian, are you sure it’s not twins?"

It would have been nice if it were twins.

Thinking of two identical little babies, Xu Niannian’s lips curled into a happy smile.

Unfortunately, no matter how many times she went for check-ups, the doctor always mentioned only one.

She reckoned she’d have a hard time when it came to giving birth; it seemed the child really was too chubby.

"Not twins, just one," Xu Niannian informed the two.

The others didn’t doubt her seeing how certain she was.

Xu Sisi also curiously touched Xu Niannian’s tummy a few more times.

The little baby seemed to have fallen asleep, motionless.

Xu Sisi had just seen Xu Niannian’s belly moving non-stop when she touched it, so why was there no reaction when she tried?

Could it be that the baby was already so discerning at such a young age?

Curious, she asked, "Sister Niannian, why isn’t it moving?"

Xu Niannian put down her bowl and touched with her own hand; ah, there really was no response. Had it fallen asleep?

She couldn’t help but call out, "Baby?"

Sure enough, no response.

Ever since the baby had turned three months old, every time Xu Niannian touched her belly, the baby would interact with her.

Now, after touching for a while with no movement, Xu Niannian suddenly felt anxious.

But since her belly didn’t hurt, nor was there any other sensation, it didn’t feel like something was wrong with the baby.

Xu Niannian could only press back her worries and decided to wait and see later.

The three of them chatted in the tiny room for quite a while.

Chen Xiaorou was rather shy, so most of the conversation was between Xu Niannian and Xu Sisi, with her listening.

Xu Zhiqiang was also a rather reserved person, making Xu Niannian wonder if these two together might die of boredom.

No sooner had the thought crossed her mind than she heard Xu Sisi ask Chen Xiaorou.

"Sister Xiaorou, how did Brother Zhiqiang pursue you?"

With that question, Xu Niannian also focused her gaze on Chen Xiaorou.

Feeling the intense scrutiny, Chen Xiaorou blushed and said, "Just, just like that..."

Xu Niannian knew Chen Xiaorou and Xu Zhiqiang had dated and got married within about a month and a half.

She too was curious about how her younger brother managed to woo Chen Xiaorou.

So, her look towards Chen Xiaorou was full of eagerness.

Chen Xiaorou was shy, but she still shared with Xu Niannian and Xu Sisi.

That day, after Xu Zhiqiang and Xu Niannian hung up the phone, the next day he found Chen Xiaorou.

He asked her to meet him by the stream at the village entrance.

It was the first time Xu Zhiqiang had asked out Chen Xiaorou.

Chen Xiaorou was thrilled and happily put on the pretty clothes she had bought with her salary.

Indeed, Xu Zhiqiang confessed his feelings that day.

He asked, "Xiao Rou, will you marry me?"

Upon hearing that, Chen Xiaorou almost fainted from happiness, nodding foolishly to him: "Yes, I will."

Then Xu Zhiqiang said, "Let’s get married, then."

This memory, so full of joy for Chen Xiaorou, instantly changed flavor when it reached the ears of Xu Niannian and Xu Sisi.

The two of them were dumbfounded.

"Just like that?" Xu Niannian asked, thinking to herself, could it really be that her brother was this clueless?

It was lucky that Chen Xiaorou liked him, otherwise with such a proposal, she might have kicked him into the river.

Xu Sisi also found it unbelievable. As an intellectual, although a bit naive, she still had some small romantic ideals.

Having heard Chen Xiaorou’s story, Xu Niannian couldn’t help thinking about Jin Yu’s proposal back then, which was truly touching.

While Xu Sisi was thinking that maybe Brother Ruiyang wasn’t so bad after
