Chapter 1535: A Large Group Arrives to Share in the Fortune
Xiao Wanxia heard her question: "This is my eldest sister-in-law, Jiang Limin, and this is my eldest brother's wife, Guo Yan'er. They just arrived home yesterday. Hearing that Chuxue gave birth, they came along to see them."
Speaking, she pointed at Duan Ruirui: "Ruirui, you should have met her."
Duan Ruirui nodded to Zhang Yurong: "Hello, Second Sister-in-law Fu."
Zhang Yurong watched Duan Ruirui pull down her scarf: "Oh my, I almost didn't recognize you."
After she finished speaking, she looked at Guo Yan'er, but her words were directed at Xiao Wanxia: "Your eldest brother seems to have been sent down to the countryside in the Northeast. Are they returning to the city, or just coming back to visit family?"
Xiao Wanxia didn't hide it: "We just happened to get a job opening. I was thinking of having my eldest brother come back, after all, he's been in the countryside for so many years."
Zhang Yurong smiled and congratulated her: "That's very good."
After finishing, she looked at Guo Yan'er: "Is the daughter-in-law coming back too?"
The smile on Xiao Wanxia's face faded a bit: "Of course. Although we can't solve their household registration issue for now, there are so many people in the family; they won't go hungry, neither she nor the child."
Hearing this, Zhang Yurong couldn't help but ask: "She has a child?"
Thinking of her own little niece, Xiao Wanxia smiled: "Yes, my niece is as cute as a carved jade doll, absolutely adorable."
It was also a coincidence; Xiao Wanli and his wife originally planned to wait until after the New Year when the weather warmed up to return, after all, the child was still small, and the journey in the dead of winter would be too much suffering.
But because Xiao Changjiang had earned merit by saving people during disaster relief, the authorities above awarded a job quota. Fearing someone else would take it, they didn't care about the cold weather and the three of them didn't dare to delay.
Fortunately, Uncle Xiao worked on the railway and managed to get them two sleeper tickets back to the city through connections, so they didn't suffer much.
Fu Yanwan also walked over to Duan Ruirui at this moment: "Ruirui, are you pregnant?"
Duan Ruirui felt a bit embarrassed and nodded lightly: "Yes, over four months. I was suffering from severe morning sickness before, couldn't even leave the house. Since Chuxue's triplets were born, my pregnancy symptoms have actually improved."
Hearing this, Fu Yanwan's eyes widened: "Really?"
Duan Ruirui looked down and touched her belly: "Really. I was vomiting severely yesterday morning, but after learning last night that Chuxue had given birth, I ate too much for dinner last night and had no reaction at all."
This morning at breakfast, I was still being careful, afraid I'd vomit again, but the morning sickness was truly gone. So when I heard my eldest sister-in-law was going to the military unit, I insisted on coming along no matter what."
She pointed at Guo Yan'er: "Perfect timing to bring my second sister-in-law along to meet everyone."
While they were talking, the bus arrived.
Xiao Wanxia, the eldest sister-in-law, immediately protected Duan Ruirui: "Stand in front of me, don't let them squeeze you."
The other two sisters-in-law also protected her on both sides, making Duan Ruirui feel deeply moved at that moment.
To be honest, the sisters-in-law from her husband's family treated her better than the two older sisters from her own family.
In the hospital, after the doctor made rounds and confirmed that Chuxue and the three children were all fine, he said: "Yan Cheng, go handle the discharge procedures in a moment. Let's try to get home early."
Fu's mother was also still shaken by last night's events. Seeing her daughter-in-law and her grandchildren were safe, she chimed in: "Since Chuxue and the children are all fine, you should go handle the procedures early. Getting home early will bring peace of mind sooner."
Chuxue looked at her mother-in-law's dark circles under her eyes, feeling both heartache and a bit of amusement: "Yes, go back and let Mom get some sleep right away."
Aunt Wei had brought breakfast early this morning and was now packing up: "If there's anything you don't need right now, I can take it back with me."
Just then, a voice suddenly came from outside the door: "Why can they have a room to themselves, but we can't even switch beds?"
