Chapter 1372: I'm Being Serious, and You're Still Laughing

Xia Qiu was moved to tears by her sister's words: "I'm not good at pretty talk, but anyway, big sister, thank you."

Liu Chuxue patted her shoulder: "Alright, you're a mother now. Has brother-in-law's household registration been transferred over yet?"

Xia Qiu nodded: "He was first registered in the collective household of the rolling mill. Myself and Junjun were registered under Dad's. Once we have a house in a few years, we can transfer everything to one household register then."

After speaking, she kept staring at Liu Chuxue's belly: "Sister, have you been eating too much lately? Your belly is much bigger than mine was at over three months. I'm telling you, don't eat recklessly. If the fetus gets too big, delivery will be difficult, and both mother and child will suffer. You must be careful afterward; remember to move around after meals."

Seeing Liu Chuxue smiling at her, she got anxious, raised her hand, and lightly tapped Liu Chuxue: "I'm telling you seriously, and you're still laughing. You really make one anxious."

Liu Chuxue leaned close to Xia Qiu's ear: "I feel like I'm carrying more than one. Fu Yan Cheng is also worried and said he'll take me for a checkup tomorrow."

Xia Qiu looked incredulous and said: "Double-yolk egg? Oh no, twins?"

Seeing her expression, Liu Chuxue touched her own belly: "We'll only know after the checkup."

Xia Qiu was so excited it took her a long while to calm down, and she gave a whole round of worried instructions.

Thinking of Chunxiao's matter: "That girl just loves to show off; she insisted on taking this on herself. You know it still ends up troubling you and brother-in-law."

Actually, Xia Qiu's mood was complicated. Though she had some grievances with her younger sister, she didn't want to be too harsh on her; after all, everyone has been young. But she also feared causing trouble for her second sister and her husband: "Does borrowing the clothes affect Fu Yan Cheng?"

Liu Chuxue shook her head: "There's no real impact, just a bit troublesome. Since there are so many sets, Fu Yan Cheng's old military uniforms certainly aren't enough; most were borrowed from others. Fortunately, last time we only informed them and didn't go to pick them up yet."

"But tell Chunxiao, when altering the clothes, absolutely do not cut them. Just secure them with needle and thread; anyway, they'll only be worn for a short while."

The younger sister-in-law, Fu Yanwan, was already preparing lunch, but Xiao Fu said seeing Fu Yan Cheng was fine put his mind at ease. He would conveniently take the borrowed military uniforms for Chunxiao along the way. He had to go to work in the afternoon and needed to take the midday Huicheng bus.

Fu Yan Cheng saw his father-in-law wasn't standing on ceremony with him and glanced at Liu Chuxue.

Liu Chuxue didn't insist on keeping them: "Alright. If he has work in the afternoon, taking the midday Huicheng bus will indeed let him do both without conflict."

Fu Yan Cheng took six sets of his own old military uniforms from the cabinet: "I only have these few sets. The others were borrowed from the unit's logistics department. I'll go to the gatehouse in a moment and call them to have them delivered to the main gate."

A hint of embarrassment flashed across Xiao Fu's face: "Because of Chunxiao's matter, I've truly caused you trouble and inconvenience."

Fu Yan Cheng glanced at Liu Chuxue: "Trouble isn't something I fear; since we're family, we naturally must help. But you must tell Chunxiao they must be returned exactly as they were, otherwise I won't be able to explain it to the logistics department."

Xiao Fu repeatedly assured: "Alright, I'll definitely tell her when I get back."

Seeing them about to leave, Fu Yanwan said: "Uncle, sister, brother-in-law, it's almost mealtime. This is your first time here; please stay for a meal before going. I've almost finished preparing; you can taste my cooking."

Xia Qiu was familiar with Fu Yanwan and didn't stand on ceremony: "Seeing that the person is fine puts my mind at ease. I have to go to work in the afternoon, so taking this midday bus back to the city works perfectly without delaying work."

Fu Yanwan knew she couldn't keep them, so she said: "Then wait a moment."
