Rebirth: Splendid Marriage in the 80s Chapter 3047 - 2983: Peach Blossoms and Babies
Previously on Rebirth: Splendid Marriage in the 80s...
The Capital isn’t all that big after all, and there aren’t too many people here at this time. Jiang Xiao never expected that these people would somehow have a bit of a connection with her as they came and went.
After returning, she received a call from Chiang Songhai, who knew she was already on vacation and called to ask her when she would be coming home.
Jiang Xiao was stunned for quite a while before she found her voice again.
"Grandpa, I’m not going back. I still have things to do here."
Chiang Songhai still regarded her as his biological granddaughter, thinking she was the same as before and would always come home during vacations.
But regardless of whether Jiang Xiao admitted it or not, she no longer considered the place in City M as her home.
Now, to her, the Capital and this courtyard house here are her true home.
It’s the home Meng Xinian arranged for her, the one she personally oversaw the renovations and decorated herself, without any personal spaces for others.
In fact, back when Ge Liutao always thought about bringing Chen Zhu back home, saying she was still her daughter, Jiang Xiao felt that in Ge Liutao’s heart, perhaps Chen Zhu was still more important and closer than she was.
She used to feel a bit of resentment and heartache.
But ever since learning that she wasn’t their biological granddaughter at all, that resentment and heartache vanished without a trace. Now, she could understand after all; Ge Liutao and Chen Zhu are mother and daughter, and Chen Zhu is the flesh and blood she bore for ten months, while she had no blood ties with them.
"Not going home during vacation? Are you that busy? Little, you’ve only seen Qingping once since he was born. Qingping now has big, shiny eyes, he actually looks a bit like you when you were little," Chiang Songhai, who has been in a good mood recently, especially when mentioning his son, said, "People always say nephews look like their uncles, guess they weren’t wrong."
Jiang Xiao: "..."
Upon hearing this now, she really felt a bit unsettled.
Chiang Qingping looks like her?
That can’t be.
"Grandpa, I have interviews here, and the teacher is planning to take me on a field trip. Besides," Jiang Xiao gently took a breath, thinking that Chiang Songhai hadn’t realized she was getting married. "Brother Xinian and I are both busy with the wedding arrangements now."
Upon hearing her say this, Chiang Songhai only then remembered that their wedding date was drawing near.
"Look at my memory. By the way, I wanted to talk to you about this. Little, when you and Xinian get married, do you want to come back here and host a couple of tables? You see, last time you mentioned getting married, your uncle and the others went to the Capital, but that time it didn’t go through, right? This time, maybe you shouldn’t let them run all the way again, especially since your cousin is pregnant again."
"Ah? Cousin is pregnant again? But isn’t there a policy against having more children now..."
Jiang Xiao didn’t finish her sentence before swallowing it back.
Though there’s a policy against having more children, Peace Town is too remote, and people still secretly have more kids.
At this time, it’s almost impossible for rural folks to only have one child.
If Ge Xiaotong is pregnant again, then it’s really inconvenient for her to come to the Capital, too much traveling.
"They say it’s been over a month. By the time you get married, she won’t even be three months in," Chiang Songhai said. "So maybe you and Xinian should discuss it and consider hosting a few tables in City M. Our relatives can come, along with Old Xue, Chu Liang and his wife."
At this point, Chiang Songhai added, "Almost forgot to tell you, your Sister-in-law Chu is also pregnant, over two months."
Jiang Xiao: "..."
So, besides the blossoming of peach flowers around her, now there’s also a wave of a baby boom?
Still, she plans to host another one in D State, and doesn’t want to host one in City M.
