Auntie Tang's daughter-in-law, Chen Ya, walked out of the house with a plate of fruits. She smiled and said, "Some time ago, your aunt was still talking about you. She said that she would go to your house to visit you during the New Year and take a good look at you. I didn't expect you to come so soon."
Seeing Chen Ya, Jiujiu immediately stood up and took the plate of fruits from Chen Ya's hands. She helped Chen Ya sit down. "Sister, you're pregnant. Let me do these chores. Oh right, I heard from my mom that you're pregnant with twins."
Hearing Jiujiu mention her children, Chen Ya immediately smiled happily. "Yes, your brother and I were busy with work and didn't notice. Fortunately, the children are fine."
Auntie Tang said happily, "I got someone to check a few days ago. They said that it's a boy and a girl.
Times are different now. In the past, everyone wanted to have a son. Now, everyone wants to have a daughter. Your sister and brother were still talking about having a second child if it's a boy. Now, it's just right to have a son and a girl. "
Jiujiu chuckled. "That's great. When I have children in the future, I'll have a boy and a girl too. I'll sit beside you today so that I can bask in your happiness."
After Jiujiu finished speaking, Auntie Tang pinched Jiujiu's cheek unhappily. "Little girl, you're talking about having children. Don't you know shame?"
Jiujiu stuck out her tongue and subconsciously looked at Qiao Chen.
At this moment, Qiao Chen was looking at her quietly. The two of them looked at each other and something called love cycled between the two of them. Not to mention Chen Ya, even the slow Auntie Tang could tell that something was wrong.
Auntie Tang originally thought that Qiao Chen was Jiujiu's good friend. Now that she saw the atmosphere between Jiujiu and Qiao Chen, there seemed to be something fishy between the two of them. She couldn't help but poke Jiujiu's arm and ask, "Your teacher told me, what's your relationship with this friend of yours?"
Actually, Auntie Tang wanted to ask if they were boyfriend and girlfriend, but she couldn't say it out loud.
On the other hand, Qiao Chen said without hesitation, "Auntie, I'm chasing Jiujiu. Jiujiu said that when her exam results are the same as mine, we'll be together."
This reason clearly showed that he was willing.
Auntie Tang already thought that Jiujiu and Qiao Chen were a good match. Hearing Qiao Chen's words, she was instantly delighted. Thinking of Jiujiu's grades, she looked at Jiujiu and asked, "What's the difference in grades between the two of you?"
Qiao Chen smiled and said, "Just three points."
Speaking of these three points, Qiao Chen was still a little resentful. If it wasn't for Jiujiu's carelessness, they wouldn't have lost these three points.
"Three points? That's good." Auntie Tang looked at Jiujiu and Qiao Chen smiling at each other. No matter how she looked at them, she felt that they were a perfect match. She couldn't help but smile.
Auntie Tang didn't know Jiujiu's and Qiao Chen's rankings. She only thought that they had three points. After laughing, she held Jiujiu's hand and said, "I remember that when I left, Liang Chen already had a girlfriend. How's he and his girlfriend? "
Although when Auntie Tang was around, the two families often said that they hoped that Jiujiu and Liang Chen would be together, Auntie Tang didn't think so.
Jiujiu's personality was soft and obedient, while Liang Chen's personality was too jumpy. The two of them were obviously not suitable.
Later, when she found out that Liang Chen had a girlfriend, she heaved a sigh of relief. She felt that it was quite good that Liang Chen wasn't with Jiujiu. Now that she saw that Jiujiu had found a good boyfriend, she couldn't help but think of Liang Chen.
After Zheng Jiayu looked for Jiujiu that day, it was obvious that he had fallen out with Wu Zheng. The two families' relationship was very stiff now. She, who didn't talk to Liang Chen in the first place, didn't even care about Liang Chen now. When she heard Auntie Tang ask, Jiujiu exaggerated Liang Chen's situation during this period. "Liang Chen is addicted to playing games now, and his grades have regressed greatly."
"They've regressed!" Auntie Tang frowned. "I remember that his grades were unstable when he was in junior high school. Why is it still like this now that he's in high school? Do his parents know about this? Don't they know how to find someone to tutor Liang Chen? "
"I know." Jiujiu curled the corner of her mouth. "Auntie Tang, do you know? Auntie Zheng wanted me to tutor Liang Chen, but my mother didn't agree. Their family has now cut ties with our family. "
Although Auntie Tang worked as a nanny for the two families, in fact, she had been living in Jiujiu's house all the time. Her heart was on Jiujiu's side. Moreover, she was paid, so naturally, she could see Zheng Jiayu's true colors more clearly than Jiujiu and the others. When she heard Jiujiu say that Zheng Jiayu had cut ties with their family, Auntie Tang was stunned at first. Then she said, "Asking someone to tutor you is a matter of asking for help. If they help you, it's their duty. If they don't help you, it's their duty. What's there to be angry about? Xiao Zheng is getting more and more immature."
After Auntie Tang finished speaking, she patted the back of Jiujiu's hand and said, "Don't worry about adult matters. If others ask you in the future, just say that you don't know, okay?"
Of course, Jiujiu knew this, but she liked to hear what Auntie Tang said, so she nodded to show that she understood.
Auntie Tang saw that Jiujiu listened to her words and smiled before continuing, "It's not easy for you to come here. Let's not talk about these unhappy things. I knew that you were coming yesterday, so I specially bought a lot of delicious food. I'll cook for you later."
Jiujiu immediately cheered very cooperatively. "Ah, I haven't eaten Auntie Tang's food in a long time. I must eat more today."
Jiujiu and Auntie Tang cooperated with each other, and in a short while, Liang Chen's family matter was forgotten.
After dinner, it was already late. Auntie Tang's house was in the suburbs, and there wouldn't be any cars left later. No matter how reluctant Auntie Tang was, she could only let Jiujiu leave.
Jiujiu took a taxi back to the city, but she didn't go home directly. Instead, she held Qiao Chen's hand and went shopping together.
Although it was Christmas today, Chinese people usually didn't celebrate such foreign holidays. Moreover, the Chinese New Year was coming soon, and Wu Zheng's company was even busier. During this period, he seemed to be in charge of an acquisition project. Wu Zheng and He Cheng were busy every day, and Qiao Chen and Jiujiu went back early. It would be just the two of them, so they might as well walk around outside for the holidays.
Winter in the north was always so cold.
Especially since it had snowed some time ago. Even their breaths were cold. After swallowing a mouthful of cold air, they exhaled a mouthful of white hot air.
Under the effect of the cold air, the hot air quickly turned into a white fog. Jiujiu mischievously blew the fog away, then pulled Qiao Chen's arm and ran to the entrance of the mall while complaining, "It's really cold today. Let's go into the mall quickly."
Qiao Chen jogged with Jiujiu to the mall.
When they were inside, Jiujiu and Qiao Chen took a long breath. Jiujiu blinked and said to Qiao Chen, "Heating is the greatest invention. How can I live without heating in winter?"
After talking about the heater, Jiujiu couldn't help but pinch Qiao Chen's cheeks that had turned red because of the sudden heat. She chuckled and said, "Why aren't you saying anything? Do you think I'm nagging?"
