Chapter 1605: What Are You All So Anxious About

Shen Kaiyuan heard Auntie Wei's words: "Right, right, right, I must go home to tidy up, then head to the main gate to pick them up."

Fu Yan Cheng watched him dash back to the neighboring courtyard and couldn't help but smile: "Back then, I..."

Before he could finish, Liu Chuxue laughed and took up the thread: "You weren't any better; you couldn't even speak clearly back then."

Auntie Wei glanced at the two with a smile: "You keep an eye on the little ones; I'll go to the kitchen to prepare the meal."

She had just entered the kitchen when Wei Wenbin came into the courtyard carrying a huge bundle of firewood on his back.

Fu Yan Cheng hurried forward to help unload it: "How many times have I told you not to carry so much at once? You're still small and in the middle of growing; carrying too much weight might affect your height, and by then it will be too late to regret it."

Liu Chuxue added, "Wenbin, listen to your uncle. The day before yesterday, during his rest, he went into the inner perimeter and cut down a dead tree. Add to that the wood you've gathered every afternoon after school, and the woodshed over there is almost full."

Auntie Wei hadn't thought much of it before; after all, how else did children in any family grow up? Moreover, when they had lived in the village as grandmother and grandson, Wenbin had worked that way too.

But after hearing the couple mention a few times that it would affect his height, she now stuck her head out from the kitchen: "Wenbin, listen to your uncle and aunt."

Wei Wenbin felt even more grateful to Fu Yan Cheng and his wife in his heart. Nodding in agreement, he thought to himself that once he had the ability, he would surely repay them well: "Okay, I remember. Thank you, uncle and aunt. I'll take Zhuifeng out for some fresh air."

Hearing this, Auntie Wei said, "Come back early for dinner; don't make anyone wait for you."

Wei Wenbin acknowledged with a sound, went over to tease the triplets for a while first, then untied Zhuifeng's rope and led him out the main gate.

The three little ones watched Wei Wenbin lead the dog out and all let out a "ao-ao" toward the outside. Their anxious little expressions made Liu Chuxue laugh: "What are you in such a rush for? Brother and Zhuifeng will be back in a moment."

Wenbin actually really wanted to hold the little ones, but Auntie Wei, fearing he might drop them, had insisted again and again: only tease them, do not touch them; if he wanted to hold the little ones, he would have to wait until they were a bit bigger, at least until they could walk.

Just as dinner was nearly ready, they heard noises from the next courtyard.

Knowing it was Mo Ruhua returning, but remembering what had happened before, the couple did not go over to join the fuss, fearing they might cause trouble for Shen Kaiyuan.

Just as Shen Kaiyuan had said, Mo Ruhua really couldn't hold it in; as soon as her mother and the others left, she scurried over to Liu Chuxue's place: "Sister-in-law, I have something to tell you."

Liu Chuxue pretended not to know, smiling as she looked at her: "Judging by your expression, it must be good news. Hurry up and tell me."

Mo Ruhua leaned close to Liu Chuxue's ear: "I'm pregnant."

Liu Chuxue was truly happy for her, after all, Mo Ruhua had been hoping for this for so long: "That's wonderful. How long has it been? Now you've finally gotten your wish."

Mo Ruhua's face was all smiles: "Just one full month. It was today that I couldn't stand the smell of fish, so my mother took me to the hospital."

When I found out I was pregnant, I was completely stunned.

After that came a wave of fear; just a few days ago, I went hiking with my colleagues. Fortunately, the baby is fine."

They had only spoken a few sentences when Shen Kaiyuan came rushing over: "In the time it took to turn around, you were gone. I guessed you'd come to Sister-in-law's place."

Just as the group was talking, Wei Wenbin returned, leading Zhuifeng.

Auntie Wei also came out of the kitchen at that moment: "Wash your hands and eat."

Liu Chuxue looked at Shen Kaiyuan and his wife: "Why don't you two eat here?"

Earlier, because of the smell of fish, Mo Ruhua hadn't been able to eat lunch, and she had been in a state of excitement all afternoon, so she hadn't remembered. Now, hearing Liu Chuxue's words, she had intended to be modest, but her stomach very cooperatively let out a "gurgle-gurgle."
