He Yanqing received a call from her family: "I know, I’ll go over tomorrow."

Nowadays, the He Yanqing family no longer lives with the in-laws. They all live in the steel plant dormitory because, thanks to Han Jingchen, they got adjusted to two rooms. Since the two rooms just happen to be a main house and a side room, the original house had a wall built around it, becoming a small courtyard.

When she got home, Cui Ziqiang had already finished work. Seeing her come in, he asked, "Why are you back late today?"

He Yanqing took the items off the bike handle: "The hometown called; Third brother’s wife is pregnant. They’re not returning to Ji City for New Year’s this year. The family asked me to find time to visit."

Cui Ziqiang said while taking off his big cotton coat: "It’s time we visited. Since we returned to the Capital, Jinxuan and his wife have helped us a lot. Even if Dad and Mom didn’t call, we should go and see them."

He Yanqing smiled upon hearing her husband’s words: "Yeah, hearing the news of Third sister-in-law’s pregnancy, I’ve already started preparing. I plan to go when I take a break."

Cui Ziqiang hung up the big cotton coat: "I’ll accompany you when the time comes."

Without Third brother-in-law’s father-in-law talking to the factory, we wouldn’t have gotten this house. Now that Third sister-in-law is pregnant, we definitely need to show our appreciation.

Ever since Third brother and Third sister-in-law helped her with the house division, life’s been pretty comfortable. On usual days, Third sister-in-law often sends things to her through others. Colleagues at work are envious.

She took out all the items she had prepared beforehand: "These are diapers I’ve been preparing early on, and these are clothes I’ve prepared for my little nephew."

Cui Ziqiang looked at these items, and indeed, they were much better than what their own two kids had used before: "These diapers are nice, some are cotton, some thin, but how do you know it will be a little nephew? All these clothes are in colors suitable for boys. Isn’t that a bit inappropriate?"

He Yanqing thought for a moment: "You make a good point. If Third sister-in-law thinks I’m preferring boys over girls as an aunt, that wouldn’t be good. I’ll go buy some fabric suitable for making girls’ clothes tomorrow.

I’ll rush to make a few sets of girls’ clothes when I get back in the evening. Anyway, the clothes are small, and with a sewing machine, it won’t take much effort."

Meanwhile, in Ji City, the second house of the He Family were also discussing the third family: "I heard Third brother’s wife is pregnant and they aren’t coming back for New Year. I guess they just don’t want to come back and now have an excuse."

"Whether they come back or not, that’s none of our business. Why are you talking about this?"

Gao Yumei thought: It may not affect us, but if they come back for New Year, they’re unlikely to show up empty-handed. Besides, Third brother and his wife are generous. On the first day of the year, each of the two kids could receive a big red envelope.

Since it’s a free gain, if they don’t return, those big red envelopes won’t happen.

Ever since the last time they were refused when asking for a loan, He Jian Country has rarely mentioned the Third couple again. He resents them a bit.

Always feels that when he was at his lowest, they didn’t help him up.

Gao Yumei continued working without stopping: "But does Third brother’s wife know whether it’s a boy or a girl?"

In her heart, she thought slyly: If Third brother’s wife is having a girl, that’d be great. It’d be best if they only have girls in future, maybe then their family’s estate could share some with our son.

The more she thought about it, the more excited she became, her mood improved significantly. Thinking that if it really turned out the way she’s hoping, then no matter how capable the Third couple might be, it’d be for nothing.
