Chapter 639: Chapter 635 Xie Family Guests Like Clouds 02

——————

Yan Jinsu saw the gifts brought by Zhang Family, Li Family, and Chen Family. Her gaze inadvertently caught her youngest brother’s wife’s face looking a bit downcast, and she felt helpless.

She knew that the gifts from Zhang Family were acceptable because they were a farming family and followed traditional customs, similar to what Lin Family brought, only slightly more expensive.

However, the Chen Family and Li Family were not ordinary farming families and their gifts were definitely different. She hadn’t even opened them yet, and Xie Jingchen had already taken them back to their own house, which made it quite awkward for her younger brother’s family.

Fortunately, Xie Jinggang had a bit of reputation at work and knew how to deal with people. Indeed, his colleagues also brought gifts, mostly fabrics or candies.

This was already much better than what most people from the rural area brought, which were usually just eggs.

Lin Caixia initially felt a bit uncomfortable, but after her husband patted her on the shoulder, she quickly regained her composure. Seeing that her sister-in-law’s expression did not change much, she finally relaxed.

Yan Jinsu also breathed a sigh of relief. It was good that her younger brother’s family did not take things too hard and did not make faces in front of the guests.

Chen Xiufang still listened to Yan Jinsu’s previous advice; although the preparations were a bit excessive, they were still within an acceptable range and did not entail lavish gifts like luxurious watches or bicycles.

If Chen Xiufang knew, she would probably grumble: after all those gifts had been given, how could she possibly repeat them?

Fortunately, rural people nowadays are all in need of daily necessities. Since her mother-in-law worked in a textile factory, it was relatively easy to get fabrics.

Yan Jinsu actually thought that the gifts from Chen and Li families were fine, it’s just that Xie Jinggang and his wife’s social circle was different from hers, which made the difference in gifts seem more pronounced.

On the sixth day of the new year, the Xie Family was busy from morning to night. Yan Jinsu was struggling to keep up by four o’clock. If it wasn’t for accommodating Zhang Family, Li Family, and Chen Family, she might have gone back to her room for an afternoon nap much earlier.

The Chen Family and Li Family came by car. Seeing Yan Jinsu’s sleepy appearance, Zhou Dahua [aunt] laughed. Pregnant women are indeed prone to drowsiness.

Besides, the Xie Family had been preparing wine these two days, so Ni definitely didn’t get much rest. Zhang Family then took the initiative to leave.

It was already four in the afternoon, not early by any means. Xie Jingchen originally wanted to keep everyone for dinner, but since Zhang Family wanted to leave, Li Family and Chen Family wanted to leave as well.

The Chen Family also came in their own car. Seeing that Uncle Zhang was old, they offered to give Zhang Family a ride, whereas the Zhang boys could only rely on their own legs.

Seeing this, Chen Xiufang let Li Family’s car take her mother and eldest sister-in-law, while Chen Family’s freed-up car accommodated Zhang Family. The trunk, filled with return gifts, barely fit all members of Zhang Family.

When Zhang, Li, and Chen families left, most of the guests at Xie Family house had gone. Lin Caixia also sent her maternal family off first, leaving primarily villagers behind.

Xie Jingchen first helped his very sleepy wife back to their west wing room, while Xiaojiu, the twin, had been taken by Xiao Si and Xiaoqi to sleep in the main hall earlier and might be about to wake up now.

With plenty of men in the house helping, he didn’t have to worry about miscellaneous tasks. Brother Rong, with a dark face slightly flushed, was now mostly concerned about Yan Jinsu’s clearly exhausted appearance.

As soon as they left the front courtyard, Xie Jingchen steadily supported his wife back to the west wing. He originally wanted to carry her, but Yan Jinsu wouldn’t let him.

Now in the Xie Family house, there were many bystanders, and those gossipy women were annoying enough; she certainly didn’t want to keep holding the title of gossip queen.

Yan Jinsu fell asleep without even waking up for dinner, unaware that her husband had brought Xiaojiu and Xiao Shi into the room.

Xiaojiu and Xiao Shi, seeing their mommy so tired, were stunned for a few minutes before their dad sent them off to their grandparents’ place.

Mommy is tired, we shouldn’t disturb her sleep~

Additionally, the family had already started telling them that they would soon have another little brother or sister, so they knew they had to take good care of mommy.

Yan Jinsu did not hide it; after her health improved, she began to help her two treasures interact with the fetus in her womb, so the two cute treasures personally experienced mommy’s belly gradually getting bigger.

If there is still resistance, it means the adults have not communicated well with the children. With modern-thinking parents like Yan Jinsu and Xie Jingchen, Xiaojiu and Xiao Shi were not at all unhappy about having a ’real’ sibling.

Moreover, the two kids decided together that the baby in mommy’s belly must be a brother!

Don’t ask how they came to this realization; they just felt that the baby in mommy’s belly is definitely a brother.

With a brother, there will be someone to help him protect his sister! — Xiaojiu’s inner thoughts.

With a brother, mommy and daddy will have only her as their intimate little cotton-padded jacket! — Xiao Shi’s inner thoughts.

Yan Jinsu only woke up at around 3 a.m., since entering the third month of her pregnancy, her need for sleep had become quite severe, requiring at least two naps a day, each lasting nearly two hours—

Sleep when hungry, sleep when tired, completely like a mother pig.

Whenever Yan Jinsu thought about how the fetus in her belly made up a trio, she felt she was barely short of being a mother pig herself!

This thought was really frustrating.

When she woke up, the Xie Family Courtyard had already quieted down.

After all, it was past three in the morning, and the Xie Family Courtyard, bustling until after 9 pm, had already been tidied up to its usual state.

The items like tables, chairs, and dishes needed to be returned were allocated to household members to return after finishing the last leisurely meal at 5 o’clock.

The chefs, too, were each given a big red envelope by the couple, Xie Tiesheng, for their excellent work, as everyone who came to the feast praised them highly!

Even Wang Chunmei and her daughter, who were very helpful, were not overlooked by Zhou Xiuhua; they too received two thick red envelopes.

After waking up in the middle of the night and having some meat porridge, Yan Jinsu was coaxed back to sleep by her husband.

Meanwhile, after finishing the major task of adding lights, Xie Tiesheng and his wife suddenly remembered their youngest child far away in Beijing, thinking of her situation made the elderly couple sigh.

Life can never be perfect, but fortunately, it’s not like they really married their daughter off there; Zhou Xiuhua could see the bright side. Once the old lady got over it, Xie Tiesheng didn’t dwell on it much either.

In one’s lifetime, what matters most is to live a life without regrets and fulfilment. Moreover, he didn’t marry off his daughter; she just went to meet the man’s elders—

While the Xie Family were busy in Qingfeng Village, Xie Tiesheng and his wife, staying up late, worried about Xie Jingzi, whose days were indeed filled with fulfillment and surprises.
