Twins!
According to statistics, the average birth rate of twins in the world was 89: 1.
In other words, out of every 89 pregnant women, there would be one who would give birth to twins.
Before the two-child policy was introduced, the number of births per day in Hua Xia was around 20,800. If it was accurate to the second, then Hua Xia would give birth to a baby every 4.15 seconds.
Even with a 1% probability, Hua Xia would give birth to 2,000 pairs of twins per day.
After the two-child policy was introduced, this number would double...
Twins were not a particularly rare existence.
However, the little girl was too young, so when she saw two children who looked exactly the same, she was immediately frightened.
After she obediently greeted her grandfather, the little girl immediately shrank behind Chen Xi, then carefully looked at the twins in front of her.
The twins were both boys. They had delicate features and were very cute.
Twins generally looked very similar because they were identical twins, so the genes they carried were almost the same.
A small number of twins did not look alike, but that was because they were heterozygotic twins.
If the mother laid two eggs and produced two fertilized eggs, then the genes they carried would naturally be different. When they grew up, there would be a clear difference.
The twins did look very similar, and the children were still young, so even with Chen Xi's eyesight, he could only find a few subtle differences.
Seeing that the little girl was a little scared, Chen Xi picked her up, then smiled at the old man and said, "The children look so similar, how do you usually tell them apart?"
Hearing this, the old man laughed and said, "The older brother has a mole behind his earlobe, but the younger brother doesn't, but it's not obvious, so I made a mark on their clothes..."
After that, the old man asked the two children to turn around.
Hearing their grandfather's words, the twins obediently turned around and lay on the sofa.
At this time, Chen Xi realized that there were numbers written on the back of their clothes.
On the left was 1, and on the right was 2.
"Didn't the Eighteenth National Assembly propose to talk about civilization, so I named the children Civilization. The left is the older brother, and the right is the younger brother, Xia Wen, Xia Ming."
"Civilization?"
Chen Xi pondered for a moment, then said to the little fellow with a smile, "Come on, Niannian, introduce yourself to Grandpa."
The little guy hugged Chen Xi's neck with one hand and tilted his head to look at the twins. After that, he quickly turned his head and buried his little head in Chen Xi's shoulder.
Seeing her like an ostrich, Chen Xi could only say to the old man apologetically, "Sorry, the child is shy …"
"It's okay. My two kids used to be afraid of strangers too. I've gotten used to bringing them out for a stroll."
After chatting with the old man for a while, Chen Xi suddenly remembered his duty, so he quickly pointed to the price list on the table and said with a smile, "What do you want?"
"Vegetarian tea. I have something to do later, so I'll leave after sitting for a while."
"Alright, please wait a moment."
Chen Xi returned to the bar with the little fellow in his arms. Qin Ruoying also noticed the little fellow's strange behavior, so she quickly asked, "What's wrong?"
"She probably hasn't seen twins before, so she's scared …"
While talking, Chen Xi handed the little fellow to Qin Ruoying.
Hearing this, Qin Ruoying had to take the little fellow from Chen Xi's hands, and then explained to her what twins were.
At this time, Chen Xi made a cup of tea for the old man.
The waiters were on strike, so only he, the boss, had to do it personally …
The little fellow rarely dealt with people of the same age. Now there were two of them, and they looked exactly the same, so naturally she was scared.
After listening to Qin Ruoying's explanation, the little fellow nodded as if he understood something.
Tilting her head and thinking for a while, she suddenly pouted and asked, "Mommy, why don't I have a sister who looks exactly the same?"
Qin Ruoying was amused by her, so she pinched the tip of her little nose and asked, "You want a sister?"
"En!"
Hearing this, the little fellow immediately nodded, then said with anticipation, "I want a sister! A sister can play with me! "
"You, you only know how to play."
In fact, Qin Ruoying had already guessed why she wanted a sister.
It was because she was lonely, and there was no one of the same age to play with her.
She and Chen Xi had no plans to have a second child for the time being, and distant water could not put out a nearby fire, so the best way now was to bring the little fellow out to interact with people of the same age.
Thinking of this, Qin Ruoying carried the little fellow, then walked directly to the twins.
Chen Xi placed the teacup in front of the old man, and was about to turn back to the bar when Qin Ruoying brought the little fellow over.
The husband and wife had a tacit understanding, and Chen Xi understood her meaning without a word of explanation.
Thus, after Chen Xi's introduction, the old man also understood the purpose of Qin Ruoying's visit.
Every parent hoped that their children would be able to play with their peers because for children under the age of six, this was something that would only be beneficial and not detrimental.
Seeing that the old man agreed, Qin Ruoying did not stand on ceremony, and directly brought the little fellow to the twins, then smiled at the two children and asked, "Can you let your sister play with you?"
After hearing her words, the older brother sitting on the left heard her, and without discussing with his younger brother, he immediately said, "Okay!"
Then, he looked at the old man and asked, "Grandpa, can we play marbles with our sister?"
"Go, don't bully her!"
"No! We won't bully her, we want to protect her! "
The older brother jumped down from the sofa excitedly, patted his chest, and promised. He directly took the little fellow's hand, like a little adult, and said to the little fellow, "Sister, I'll play with you!"
"Me too!"
The younger brother seemed to be afraid that they would miss him, so he immediately squeezed from behind the older brother.
Looking at the younger brother, it seemed that he also wanted to hold the little fellow.
Thus, Qin Ruoying handed the little fellow's left hand to him.
The two brothers were actually more than two months older than the little fellow. When the three of them stood together, they were half a head taller than the little fellow.
The two brothers took Niannian around the hall.
After finding an open space in the corner, they immediately squatted on the ground and took out marbles from their pockets.
The little fellow had not played with glass marbles yet.
Therefore, when she saw the colorful glass marbles, she was immediately attracted by the glass ball with a strange pattern in the middle.
The little fellow grabbed a marble and played with it. Seeing this, the older brother immediately said to her, "Sister, we'll teach you how to play!"
"Okay!"
Children could always play together happily.
Qin Ruoying stood beside the three little fellows with a smile, quietly watching them play marbles.
The little fellow had not played with people of the same age for a long time, so in the beginning, she was a little reserved.
But after playing for a while, the little fellow gradually let go of herself, and the range of her movements and laughter became louder and louder.
