Chapter 1869 Duoduo and Xitang, they look so alike!
As soon as Li Xiangnan took a step, Lin Jianzhou's loud and joyful voice rang out.
"Xiao Li, we're here again! We knew you brought Xiao Qin back from the hospital yesterday, but we couldn't get away. So, after finishing up at work this morning, we rushed over with our family to see the little guy!"
As Lin Jianzhou spoke, the Lin family members behind him filed in, adding to the lively atmosphere of the backyard.
"Uncle Lin, look at what you're saying! You're already so busy with work, yet you still keep thinking of us. I'm so touched!"
Li Xiangnan hurriedly went up to take the things from his hands.
Lin Jianzhou, as the Minister of Health, is usually dignified and composed, but here he completely put aside his airs. Seeing Li Xiangnan come over to take the gifts, he casually handed the gifts to his second son behind him, his face beaming with a genuine smile. He grabbed Li Xiangnan's hand tightly and asked with concern, "How is Xitang? Did she cause any trouble at home last night? Will our presence bother you?"
"Uncle Lin, it's no trouble at all! You're too kind! Xitang was very well-behaved last night. Please come in, please come in!" Li Xiangnan replied, quickly leading the people into the house.
"Old Lin!" Liu Zhiyuan and the others quickly came over to greet him.
These are all acquaintances, and we get along very well when we meet.
"Haha, Lao Liu, you're here too! Oh, Lao Xing, it's rare to see you here!" Seeing that Liu Zhiyuan and Xing Chunlai were both there, Lin Jianzhou's tone became even more affectionate.
"Sister-in-law Xiuqin, look at all these things you've brought again, oh dear!"
Zhu Qiuju, who was preparing lunch inside, came out when she heard the noise and saw Wang Xiuqin carrying a large net bag. Inside, besides the usual brown sugar and chicken soup, there were two cans of imported milk powder, which was considered a luxury item in those days. The cans were covered with English words and also contained malted milk powder.
“Xiao Qin needs nutrition, and the children need some too. Duo Duo and Le Le usually eat this, so I asked You Wei to buy an extra jar. In the future, when it arrives from overseas, I'll send it to you!” Wang Xiuqin smiled as she took the items from her children behind her and stepped into the room, placing them one by one on the octagonal table.
"You're too kind!" Zhu Qiuju was very touched. She had already seen her "old in-law" taking a cotton-padded coat out of his bundle.
"This is a little cotton-padded jacket that Wei Lan and Xiao Qing made, and a sweater that I knitted. I haven't made these things for a few years. When Xiao Xitang grows up a bit, you can let her try them on. If they don't fit, I'll adjust them!"
After saying this, Wang Xiuqin took out the little cotton-padded jacket and compared it to the others. "It's not as pretty as the ones we bought, but the material is definitely thick, it's all cotton. The little girl's crotch wasn't cut open, so tell Xiao Li to be careful when she exchanges it later!"
"You are so thoughtful!" Zhu Qiuju said admiringly, "In winter, it's better for the little girl to stay warm by not wearing open-crotch pants!"
This gesture deeply moved Li Xiang, who was standing nearby, and Qin Ruobai, who was lying on the bed.
Lin Weimin put the snakeskin bag on his back on the ground, gathered some wood ear mushrooms and shiitake mushrooms, and said to Zhu Qiuju, "Auntie, I know you're from southern Anhui, so your postpartum meals must be local specialties. I specially asked someone to bring back some mountain products from the south, as well as some wild boar meat and the like. They're all in the bag. I'll have Uncle sort them out and dry them later!"
"You're so thoughtful!" Zhu Qiuju praised his honesty, and Li Xiangnan also came over and patted his shoulder.
This warmth and familiarity, so genuine and enduring, made the Li family members somewhat tempted.
Lin Jianzhou sat in the guest seat, holding the teacup handed to him by Li Xiangnan, and said with a smile, "It's nothing to say. These things can't compare to the kindness the Li family has shown to our Lin family. We've done too little!"
Seeing that Liu Zhiyuan and Xing Chunlai, who had just sat down, looked somewhat puzzled, he pointed to his heart and said with a smile, "Old Liu, Old Xing, I still have the heart stent that Xiao Li had implanted in here!"
The two looked at each other and suddenly realized.
"I won't go into details about how she saved my life!" Lin Jianzhou then pointed to his second daughter, Lin Chuqiao. "My daughter was sent to the countryside as an educated youth back then, and she received a lot of care from the Li family. Those difficult years lasted for three to five years, and they are the most unforgettable memories for our Lin family!"
"It really wasn't easy!" Liu Zhiyuan said with deep feeling.
Lin Jianzhou turned his head with a smile and said at the right time, "So Qiuju, Fugui, the old friendship between our two families will not fade with time, but will only become more and more profound!"
Li Fugui, this honest and simple man, blushed slightly and said somewhat embarrassedly, "But you guys are really going to great lengths. Every time you come, you bring so much stuff..."
"Wealth and status!" Lin Jianzhou waved his hand. "These things are not worth mentioning!"
At this time, Lin Youwei had put down Duoduo and Lele, who were able to walk unsteadily. The two little ones were already one year old and were curious about everything. Their big, dark eyes looked around the room.
"Duoduo, Lele, look! That's a little sister!" Lin Youwei gently instructed.
"Haha!" The people around them burst into laughter, watching the two little ones with great interest.
Duoduo and Lele seemed to understand, and they moved toward the crib while babbling.
"Duoduo and Lele, knowing that their godmother had a little sister, were making a fuss at home wanting to come and see her! They kept saying 'little sister, little sister!'"
Lin Youwei's words naturally connected the two families closely.
"Kids, you don't have any playmates, so it's not easy for you to find someone your own age. You'll definitely be close to them!" Qin Ruobai replied with a smile.
“Well, when Xitang grows up, she can keep Duoduo company. The three kids can go to school together. It’s so lively! These two kids don’t have a father, so you two will have to worry about them a lot in the future, sigh!” Lin Youwei’s words were full of anticipation for the future and trust in Li Xiangnan and his wife.
“Youwei, what are you saying? Duoduo and Lele are just like our children, what trouble is there!” Qin Ruobai quickly waved his hand, and Li Xiangnan nodded in agreement.
Looking at this harmonious scene, Lin Jianzhou sighed with emotion, "Yes, it's best for children to have a companion. Xiao Li, seeing you two doing so well now, I'm relieved!"
The group chatted and laughed around the child, filling the room with warmth.
At the Li family home, Lin Chuqiao always wore a faint smile. Although she didn't speak, her gaze remained gentle on the children.
Listening to Lin Youwei talking to Li Xiangnan and the others, he walked to the crib, bent down, and carefully looked at Li Xitang, who was sleeping soundly in the swaddling clothes.
The little one has fair skin, delicate features, and is sleeping soundly.
As she watched, Lin Chuqiao's eyes gradually filled with a maternal love and an indescribable complex emotion.
"Come here, let me hug you!" Li Xiangnan reached out and picked up Xiao Duoduo, then leaned over to look at Xiao Xitang.
Lin Chuqiao subconsciously looked at Xiao Duoduo, who also wanted to see her younger sister.
Just as her gaze moved back and forth between Li Xitang's quiet little face and her niece Duoduo's equally delicate and pretty face.
The smile on her face suddenly froze!
Her body trembled almost imperceptibly, as if struck by something invisible!
Lin Chuqiao's pupils contracted instantly, her eyes widening in disbelief as she stared intently at the two children's faces.
hiss!
Like, so similar!
How can this be! ?
