Raising Babies in the 70s - Chapter 120

Chief Lu was dazed and stunned, while calmly patting the table. He took a half-month vacation to go home to accompany his wife.

“Go, go, you gave me a promise.”

After taking leave, Lu Yan didn’t want to talk too much with people, let alone share the secrets of having a child, so he hurriedly went home to accompany his wife.

“You’re amazing!!”

Head Zhang and his wife were overjoyed when they learned that Qin Rou gave birth to two boys. It was exactly what they expected.

But in addition to being happy, there was a bit of envy. Twins were rare, and twins who looked alike were even rarer. For example, in their colony, apart from the Lu family next door, Wang Junyi’s family had a pair of twin sisters who looked the same.

Head Zhang couldn’t help but rub his hands. His ambitions were constantly expanding. It would be great if his wife gave him twin daughters.

“They will really have two boys,” Huang Xinying was extremely happy, since the little tea spirit next door was about to start raising kids.

There were some things that only mothers knew. Many unmarried young girls were always scared of pregnancy and childbirth. In fact, the most tiring and hard work was the follow-up breastfeeding.

Having a baby was just the beginning.

Two, three or four year old boys were even unmanageable.

In addition to being happy, the Zhang family decided to have a big meal in the evening to celebrate. 

“Let’s cook a good meal, let’s eat pork at night.”

Zhang Chengbei pushed his wife’s elbow, “Little goddess, do you want to divine whether we would have a daughter?”

Huang Xinying was expressionless.

“Let’s do it, let’s do it! After we finish the meal, let’s do the divination together.”

“Old Wang, I have good news,” Comrade Lu, who had become a grandfather, was so excited that he couldn’t help himself. When such a great thing happened, he had to tell his good brothers and comrades in arms first.

They were good neighbors and good rivals.

“Hehe, you don’t need to tell me, Old Lu, I’ve already guessed it,” Lao Wang didn’t want to answer Old Lu’s phone at all, but since he became a grandfather, he had to congratulate him.

It was not like he didn’t show off before.

“You guessed it? Then you are so smart!! My youngest daughter-in-law gave birth to two grandchildren.”

“Two grandchildren? Are they both boys?”

“Yeah, you don’t know yet. These two boys look exactly the same. Oh, you haven’t seen them yet. When I come back to my hometown in the future, I will show you my two grandsons. These two boys look a lot like my son. They will become two handsome boys when they grow up!”

“…”

“Really? Congratulations. Hey, my little granddaughter came over. My cute little Jiaojiao, do you want to talk to your Grandpa Lu?”

“My little Jiaojiao can sing.”

“Come on, say Grandpa Lu.”

A tender and sweet baby voice came from the phone, “Grandpa Lu…”

Lu Zongyi felt heartbroken.

He had been coveting the cute, sensible and sweet-sounding granddaughter for a long time.

He got grandsons, but he had no lovely granddaughter, let alone the warm-hearted padded jackets (girls are called padded jackets as they are caring) of the grandparents.

“Grandpa Lu, when are you and Grandma Jiang coming back?”

“…”

“Little darling, grandpa’s little granddaughter, grandpa will hold you, and ask your grandma to make you a beautiful floral dress tomorrow.”

“Okay, say goodbye to Grandpa Lu.”

——The old man would be struck by thunder!

Lu Zongyi hung up the phone very indifferently.

Old Lu walked around the same place for several laps, with a sweet and sour feeling in his heart. Thinking of his two lovely grandsons, he was very happy, but thinking of the sweet little granddaughter, he couldn’t stop being jealous.

He also thought so much of a granddaughter.

He wanted the kind of little granddaughter who the grandparents would spoil.

Human desire was probably a bottomless pit.

Anyway this sheep was not the only one in the family, so he had other options. Also even the donkeys of the production team should rest.

He needed to shift strategy, so the task would fall to his next child.

Old Lu calmly called Lu Xiao, the unmarried fourth son in the family, and told him that he became an uncle.

“Really? Two boys, and they look exactly the same? It’s so strange!!” Lu Xiao on the other end of the phone hadn’t noticed the crisis.

“It’s strange, of course it’s strange, fourth child, when would you get married? Are you seeing someone? What kind of person are you seeing?”

“Quickly give birth to a granddaughter for me.”

Lu Xiao: “… Aren’t you at my little brother’s place? Uncle Wang is provoking you again? Old Lu, hurry up and calm down by eating the food my mother cooks.”

“I’ll tell you what calm is.”
