Chapter 384: Don't Just Stand There Either

~8 min read 1,468 words

Si Nian.

Si Yu.

"What did your brother write?" Old Madam Jiang poked Jiang Yu's bottom with her hand.

Looking at Si Rong's surprised expression, had her eldest grandson thought of two extremely good names?

Truly ignorant!

Her Jiang Family's eldest grandson was just that excellent!

Jiang Yu whispered them to his grandmother.

"What?" Old Madam Jiang disagreed the moment she heard it, "How can the twins of our Jiang Family have the surname Si? I don't agree!"

She recalled how her useless eldest grandson had always been obedient to Si Rong, and became even more dissatisfied with Si Rong, "Was it you who instigated this? Let me tell you, don't even dream about it!"

"Mom, go back to your room and sleep first," Jiang Aiguo, worried that his mother would say something even more unpleasant later, pulled and dragged her toward the room.

Old Madam Jiang was so angry she spat at him, "Giving birth to a dog would have been better than giving birth to you! It's midday, why would I sleep?"

Jiang Aiguo sent his mother back to the room without further ado and locked the door from the outside, "It's good to sleep more when you're old, be obedient! You just love to get worked up! What does it have to do with you what surname the children take? In any case, they wouldn't take your surname!"

Old Madam Jiang:...

"Jiang Siyu? Jiang Sinian?" Si Rong looked into Jiang Cheng's eyes, not blinking, as if confirming something, "Are these the names you chose for our babies?"

Jiang Cheng nodded, "Yes, do you think they sound good?"

"They sound good."

Jiang Yu understood from the side; his sister-in-law was a reasonable person and had no intention of letting the children take the surname Si.

"Dad, why did you lock Grandma up? You should have let her come out and listen; what my brother wrote are the children's names, the children are still taking the surname Jiang!"

That's great! He was going to be an uncle!

Jiang Aiguo:...

Then he had locked her up too early and hadn't heard the end of it; never mind, locked is locked, the old lady was getting on in years, it was good to sleep more.

Besides, his ears needed a rest too.

Si Rong pulled Jiang Cheng back into the room and began to interrogate him carefully about why he had chosen these two names for the children.

"Actually, ever since I knew you were pregnant with twins, these two names automatically appeared in my mind."

Si Rong felt it was very magical, "Automatically appeared?"

Having said this, Jiang Cheng felt there was nothing left to hide from his wife; he hugged Si Rong and pulled her tight, as if to merge her into his bones and blood, "Actually, ever since you came to the military unit to see me, some images have often appeared in my mind. I know it's us, but it's a bit unlike us... In short, Rongrong, I feel like we have been in love for a very, very long time."

Long enough that they were familiar with every single detail of each other.

Not just in life, but even their marital life was incomparably harmonious.

It didn't feel like a new marriage, but rather like an old married couple.

Si Rong felt a faint excitement in her heart; listening to Jiang Cheng's description, were the images he saw from a past life?

So, would he slowly remember the past life, remember her, and remember everything about them?

"Jiang Cheng, we have indeed been in love for a very, very long time," Si Rong snuggled into his arms, "Is there any pattern to the images you see?"

Jiang Cheng thought carefully, "Most are very sudden, but the only pattern is probably, you."

"Me?"

"Mm, when I'm with you, the images I see become more frequent," Jiang Cheng sniffed the osmanthus fragrance on her hair, "So, Rongrong, we need to be intimate more often in the future."

Si Rong:...

She grabbed his unruly large hand, "Did you forget what the doctor said?"

"I didn't forget," Jiang Cheng's tone was muffled, "The first three months and the last three months are not allowed."

"Then can I serve you unilaterally?" Jiang Cheng asked again.

He could endure it himself, but he didn't have the heart to make his wife endure it too; his wife was already very tired from the pregnancy.

Si Rong:...

She tapped his head lightly with her hand, "Silly! I can't either, let's just endure it together."

She lay on Jiang Cheng's lap, stroking her belly with both hands, the corners of her mouth curling up slightly.

Si Nian, Si Yu.

It was so good; their family of four would soon be reunited.

After Old Madam Jiang was let out, she confirmed repeatedly that the children Si Rong gave birth to would take the surname Jiang, and finally felt somewhat relieved.

Taking advantage of everyone being in the courtyard after dinner, she spoke up again as the elder.

"Men are meant to do big things, and we women should take good care of the home, be filial to elders, and not rely on men for everything!"

"Things like cooking and washing dishes are better suited for women because they are meticulous," worried that her unfilial descendants would talk back and make her do it, Old Madam Jiang hurriedly added, "I'm just old, otherwise I would definitely manage everything inside and out."

"That's not true," Hu Qian spat out a sunflower seed shell, "My grandmother didn't say that back then; she said you were lazy and greedy, eating all the good things yourself while the children followed you and were all as thin as toads."

"Besides, if men are as capable and powerful as you say, what's wrong with them doing more housework?"

"They eat more and are big and tall, so they are much better suited for housework than women."

Old Madam Jiang:...

She glared, "Then what are you for? Why did we marry you? Useless thing!"

"You already said I'm useless, yet you still make me do work," Hu Qian didn't feel any internal friction at all, and her lips touched, "Aiguo, go sweep the floor!"

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law had been at war for half a lifetime; they knew too well how to stab each other in the heart.

Jiang Aiguo picked up the broom, and Old Madam Jiang was instantly furious!

"Look, look, just tossing my son around!"

"Don't just stand there, go wipe the table."

Old Madam Jiang:...

She wiped the table in a spineless manner, then huffed and returned to her room.

It's all fate; marrying a vicious daughter-in-law truly ruins three generations!

Worried that her daughter-in-law would think she was too fierce, Hu Qian hurriedly said, "Rongrong, don't worry, the two of us won't be like that in the future."

She wouldn't be like that old hag with so much nonsense, "Even if you rode on Jiang Cheng's neck, I wouldn't say a single word."

Si Rong:...

Does it count if it's on the bed?

Jiang Cheng:...

Jiang Yu whispered in slander, so what, should I praise you for being a good mother-in-law?

Because Si Rong was pregnant with twins, Hu Qian had Wu Shen come to the house ahead of time.

At this time, Wu Shen was still very young, but the meals she cooked were already very delicious.

What was most rare was that not only did Wu Shen cook well, but her concepts regarding certain pregnant women were also very advanced.

For example, pregnant women should not blindly nourish themselves, otherwise, the fetus might become too large by the later stages of pregnancy, causing the mother to suffer.

In the blink of an eye, Si Rong had been pregnant for nearly three months.

The end of the year was also approaching, and it would be the first time in this lifetime she spent the New Year with Jiang Cheng.

They went together to buy clothes to wear for the New Year; Si Rong liked a red wool coat very much but was unwilling to take it, as she could see her big belly the moment she lowered her head.

"I won't be able to wear it for more than a few months if I buy it now."

Besides, it didn't look good either, like a penguin.

"Buy it." Jiang Cheng paid decisively; his little princess looked good no matter what she wore.

One must wear new clothes for the New Year; one cannot forget oneself just because one has become a mother.

Li Xuan, who was also shopping at the Baihuo Shangchang, saw him buy that coat for Si Rong and felt so jealous she nearly went mad.
