Unlike Xu Qing, who was waiting for the lottery, Qin Hao had long known that it was a daughter.
Qin Maocai had an acquaintance in the hospital, an old classmate named Li Yuying. Xu Wenbin also knew her, but the two families went to different hospitals.
His old classmate was still worried that her child was not married yet, so Qin Maocai went over and tried to get close to her. He asked her if she was a grandmother, and she scolded him. However, she still told him that she was his granddaughter.
"Hello, granddaughter! I like granddaughters! "Qin Maocai rubbed his hands and said loudly. Li Yuying immediately regretted and quickly patted him.
"Lower your voice! You're still in the hospital. Are you afraid that others won't know that I told you? "
"Heh heh heh … Lower your voice, lower your voice."
The father and son of the Qin family were like this. They were careless and never spoke in a low voice. When they lowered their voice, they looked shifty. Li Yuying helplessly held her forehead.
"Let's have dinner together when you're free!"
Qin Maocai was so happy that his eyes narrowed. He said that he would not delay her work and went out to see if Qin Hao and Xu Wenbin were done with the examination.
Li Yuying pressed the ballpoint pen and waved at him.
"Granddaughter … Granddaughter …"
Qin Maocai smacked his lips as he muttered to himself. Now that he knew her gender, he felt like a grandfather.
It was strange that when he went out, he thought it would be great if it was a grandson. But when he knew it was a girl, he found that he liked his granddaughter so much …
"Granddaughter, it's a granddaughter."
He still remembered Li Yuying's instructions, so he didn't speak too loudly. He leaned in front of Qin Hao and lowered his voice. His thick eyebrows and big eyes looked sneaky, and he looked around as he spoke.
"Granddaughter? Good granddaughter! We have a granddaughter! "Qin Hao was also surprised by the news.
"Granddaughter …"
"…"
"…"
Qin Maocai paused for a moment and slapped Qin Hao's back. "Who's with you?!"
"Oh, your granddaughter, your granddaughter."
Qin Hao was so talkative that he covered his mouth resentfully.
Since they already knew that it was a daughter, it was time to think of a name and prepare clothes for the child. They were not like Xu Qing, who was waiting for the prize to be announced.
If he knew in advance, he would have a plan in mind, and he wouldn't have to panic when the time came.
When they got home, they started talking about names.
"I haven't studied for many years. You should think about it." Yu Li was quite open-minded about this matter and didn't plan on getting involved … She had thought about it a long time ago, but she didn't have many names. The slightly nicer ones were all things she had seen on TV.
"Me?"
Qin Hao had been impatient before, but now that the heavy responsibility was directly pressed down on him, his mind was suddenly empty, and he couldn't think of any good words for a while. "Let's discuss it slowly."
"I heard it also depends on the time of birth or something like the Five Elements and Eight Trigrams."
Yu Li raised her head and said. Her sister's children were full of mysteries. She also believed in this a little.
"Feudal superstition. It's useless … right?" Qin Hao scratched his head. From the bottom of his heart, he didn't think much of this, but he still had to consider Yu Li's opinion.
"It's better to believe it than not. A name is a big event in a lifetime. Why don't we ask our dad to help us discuss it?"
"That's fine."
The two of them agreed to ask Qin Maocai for advice. Qin Maocai had been waiting for this. He put out a bunch of names and raised his head. "Metal, wood, water, fire, and earth. When the time comes, you can choose whichever you like!"
"You're really my dad."
Qin Hao went back with the Grimoire. Qin Maocai packed up his clothes, fed Xiongba, and strolled to Xu Wenbin's place to visit.
Xu Wenbin brought out Fatty Big Sea for him to taste. Previously, Xu Qing said he wanted to buy Fatty Big Sea, and he really did. He filled a big bag, but he came a little late.
"You're going to be a grandfather soon. How does it feel?" Qin Maocai winked and asked him.
Xu Wenbin touched his head and sighed. "I feel whatever you feel."
"Your family is definitely different from mine."
"Don't be jealous. It's the same if Little Haozi and the others have a second child. The policy is open anyway."
"Twins and second children are different. Sigh, Little Qing …"
Qin Maocai was envious. Xu Qing looked like a dog, and he was so good at giving birth. Who could reason with?
"I prepared ten names for them to choose from. You have to prepare twenty, right?" He shook his sleeves and took out the paper he wrote from his pocket to show off to Xu Wenbin.
Xu Wenbin took it and glanced at it. "Why are they all girls' names?"
"I'm pregnant with a girl. I put away all the boys' names. I'll keep them for when I have another one."
"Oh, that's good."
"What about your family's?"
"They're waiting for the lottery. They didn't ask the doctor." Xu Wenbin returned the paper and shook his head. "Xu Qing has a good idea. We don't need to come up with names. We don't need to do that."
Qin Maocai leaned forward and looked at Xu Wenbin carefully. He said happily, "Haha, do you remember?"
"No."
"I think you just want to. Xu Qing and the others have their own ideas. They don't need you." Qin Maocai was amused.
"Xu Qing and the others are twins."
"…"
Skipping the topic, Qin Maocai took out a cigarette and drove to the balcony with Xu Wenbin. They leaned against the railing and smoked.
"Where's your Xiaozhi?"
"She went to see Jiang He."
"In the blink of an eye, we've become grandparents." Qin Maocai sighed. When they first moved here, Xu Qing and Qin Hao were still running around with snot hanging from their noses. The railing they leaned against was also the same one. The two brats often leaned against the cracks of the railing and talked to each other. Later, they hired someone to reinforce the railing. The railing in their houses was exactly the same.
Xu Wenbin pushed his glasses up and looked at the cigarette butt between his fingers. He shook his head and smiled. "Who said it wasn't?"
"We're really old."
"Don't. You haven't retired yet. How old are you?"
"I don't have many years to live when I retire." Qin Maocai took a puff of the cigarette and puffed out thick smoke from his nostrils.
"That's you. I have to live for more than eighty years." Xu Wenbin pinched the cigarette butt in his hand and turned back to the study. He took out a bag of chess and put it on the table.
"Want to play?"
"Watch me kill you until nothing is left!"
Qin Maocai rolled up his sleeves, threw away the cigarette butt and came in. He sat down and arranged the chess pieces.
"Cross Palace Cannon!"
"It's still the same old trick. I won't change it."
…
Xu Qing was accompanying Jiang He to exercise.
She couldn't stay idle. She always wanted to find something to do since she was pregnant. Otherwise, she would be bored. The doctor didn't recommend too much exercise, only a moderate amount. So Xu Qing thought about it and finally thought of a way to teach Jiang He to practice martial arts.
To practice modern martial arts.
He found a video and learned Tai Chi pushing hands. When Jiang He was bored and scratched his feet, he would go to the balcony and push with Jiang He. The two of them were like a monkey show. They went back and forth and cut a big watermelon in half, half for you and half for me …
There was movement in stillness, and stillness in stillness. Jiang He learned very quickly and soon grasped the key points, surpassing Master Xu.
Zhou Suzhi helped her make soup in the kitchen. They couldn't refuse and could only let her do it. Anyway, as a grandmother … everything was for the child.
Zhou Suzhi glanced at the two people who were pushing their hands slowly outside. Sometimes, she would suspect that she had opened the door in the wrong way. Everything was different from what she had imagined before. How did Xu Qing become like this? He even practiced martial arts and grew flowers.
It was good for the two of them to exercise slowly …
She stood at the door of the kitchen and turned to look at the pot. She heard a few bangs outside. She quickly looked over and saw that Xu Qing was still pushing hands with Jiang He.
"Did you hear that just now?" Zhou Suzhi couldn't help asking.
"What?"
Xu Qing stopped and looked confused. He secretly swung his hands behind his back and gasped.
"Nothing."
Maybe he was getting old … Zhou Suzhi scratched her head. Strange things seemed to happen often.
Previously, she saw Jiang He leaning against the window and looking at the flowers on the balcony. He turned his head and went outside the window in a flash.
There were several times when Xu Qing didn't do anything while holding the computer. Suddenly, biscuits appeared in his mouth and he chewed there.
She almost suspected that Xu Qing had the function of regurgitating like a donkey. He could eat things in advance and spit them out when he needed to chew again. Although donkeys didn't have that function, she didn't know.
Zhou Suzhi scratched her nose and was puzzled. Looking at the spacious and elegant living room, she suddenly felt a cold wind blowing.
When the two of them had enough exercise, Jiang He came back to watch TV and eat snacks while hugging a pillow. Xu Qing came to look at the soup and asked Zhou Suzhi if he could add some sugar. After Jiang He got pregnant, her taste changed every once in a while. Sometimes she liked sour food, and sometimes she liked sweet food.
"Will it taste weird if I add sugar?" Zhou Suzhi didn't think it was a good idea to add sugar.
"Then when it's done, put the sugar in a bowl and take some out to taste … I'll use this bowl."
Xu Qing first poured some sugar out and put it on the chopping board. Then, he returned to the windowsill and looked at some kung fu techniques on the computer.
This wasn't a matter of who was above and who was below. It was a matter of a man's dignity.
The TV was playing a science program. What was the crying in the middle of the night? There were so many mysteries in Mysterious Town …
Even Jiang He was getting nervous. The eerie music also attracted Zhou Suzhi's attention. She inadvertently looked at Xu Qing and was shocked to find that Xu Qing, who was sitting in front of the computer, was moving his mouth, chewing on something.
"Where did you hide the food?"
Zhou Suzhi finally couldn't take it anymore. She strode over and looked up and down at Xu Qing's table. It was a computer table. It didn't even have a drawer. The structure was clear at a glance. Other than a pen, paper, and two books, there was nothing else.
Xu Qing blinked and spat out a date stone into the trash can.
"…"
Zhou Suzhi took a step back and looked at Xu Qing suspiciously and warily. Then, she went up to touch his pocket.
"Jiang He threw it over."
"I'm not blind! I've been standing there watching. You two haven't moved at all! "
"Mom, what's there to be surprised about? I just ate a date."
"You can eat dates just because you're playing on the computer? Jiang He is eight feet away from you. Can you retrieve something from the air? "
Jiang He took a bite of the date. It was sweet and crispy.
She wisely didn't say anything. Otherwise, it would be like feeding a dog. Her mother-in-law might get angry.
"She really gave it to me."
"…"
Zhou Suzhi didn't know what to say. This guy's pocket was empty.
She turned around and asked, "Jiang He, did you give it to him?"
Jiang He looked at Xu Qing and nodded. "Yes."
"…"
She was standing at the kitchen door. The two of them definitely didn't move!
"Where did you get it?"
"Actually, I put it in my mouth a long time ago. I just chewed it." Xu Qing said perfunctorily.
"I think Jin Science should come to our house."
Zhou Suzhi looked at him for a moment, then turned back to the kitchen to look at the soup. When she reached the door, she turned back and saw Xu Qing's mouth mumbling and spitting out another date stone.
？？
Seeing Zhou Suzhi's incredulous look, Xu Qing was afraid that she would call Jin Science, so he quickly said, "Jiang He really threw it over. Jiang He, give me another one."
"Just like this …" Jiang He threw it over. The date flew in a parabola and was caught by Xu Qing. He showed it to Zhou Suzhi.
"Do you think I'm stupid?" Zhou Suzhi swore that she would never miss such an obvious action!
"But that's the truth."
Xu Qing said while eating the date. Jiang He's action just now was hidden. After all, Zhou Suzhi was next to them. The two of them couldn't casually share snacks like usual. Otherwise, Zhou Suzhi would definitely think that he was trained.
However, Jiang He's throwing was very accurate. It was like an automatic feeding machine.
"What special ability? Don't think too much, Mom."
"Weird."
Zhou Suzhi stared at him for a moment, then turned around and went into the kitchen. Jiang He got up and went to the toilet. Zhou Suzhi thought for a moment and came out again. "What's with that sound?"
"What sound?"
"Sometimes I hear a few rapid bangs on the balcony."
"She's patting my back."
"Is that so?" Zhou Suzhi came over and patted Xu Qing's back. "It doesn't seem like it."
"Let's talk nicely. Don't fight, okay?"
Xu Qing grinned. The sound of his and Jiang He's arms hitting each other was indeed different from this kind of 'pia' sound.
Every time Jiang He played Tai Chi with him, he would have to exchange a few moves with him to satisfy himself. Otherwise, his hands would get itchy.
"I think you guys are a little weird." Zhou Suzhi looked at the toilet and said softly.
Xu Qing pursed his lips. He didn't know how to explain.
The two of them had always been like this. When Zhou Suzhi came over to make soup, he and Jiang He were not used to it. Sometimes, they just did it casually.
Last time, on a whim, he wanted to play with Jiang He with a sword, but he remembered that Zhou Suzhi was there. He stopped there. Under Zhou Suzhi's strange gaze, he played a few moves with the sword and put it back as if nothing had happened.
White Gourd wagged its tail and jumped onto the windowsill. Zhou Suzhi glanced over, muttered, and turned to leave.
They had raised the cat for so many years. They couldn't stop raising it just because it was pregnant. They could only keep an eye on it for a comprehensive checkup.
Jiang He came out of the bathroom and continued to watch the second half of the episode. He sighed at the show's strong atmosphere and retarded plot. Then, he took the thick encyclopedia of flowers and plants and began to eat.
"Don't be too tired when you're pregnant. Drink some soup." Zhou Suzhi carried a bowl of soup from the kitchen to the living room. "It's for calming the nerves. I heard from little Qing Zi that you will wake up several times at night. Let's see if it's good. If it's good, continue cooking."
It was a good thing that her daughter-in-law liked to read, but that book was too thick. She felt that Jiang He couldn't sleep well because he was too tired from using his brain.
