Reborn in the 80s: The Smart Wife with a Secret Space Chapter 1352: Schemes of Each Family
As she thought about her own plans, Gao Yumei’s eyes gleamed.
But she wasn’t planning to share this with anyone.
After all, the third brother’s wife was pregnant but they didn’t know if it was a boy or a girl yet. However, she was definitely hoping for no son, so her plan could come to fruition.
If Xinyan knew about her thoughts, she’d probably laugh to death.
At this moment, He Yuejin and his wife were also talking about this matter: "Yuejin, third sister-in-law is pregnant, shouldn’t we send something over to show some gesture, she sent a lot of things when I was pregnant with the two kids."
He Yuejin was bathing their son: "You’re right, but you need to think carefully about what to send, since third brother and sister-in-law already have everything."
Guo Yueyue nodded: "You’re right, I need to think it over thoroughly."
Guo Yueyue thought of something and looked at He Yuejin: "Should I go over to discuss this with big sister-in-law and second sister-in-law to avoid any misunderstandings later?"
He Yuejin initially thought of saying each should handle their own, but then realized his wife had a valid point: "Alright, go over tomorrow around noon. Don’t rely too much on second sister-in-law, primarily discuss with the big sister-in-law."
Meanwhile, their big sister-in-law, Wang Erni, was talking about this matter with He Jiefang: "Old man, I’ve been gradually preparing some diapers for them, thinking they must be really busy daily, in case they’re pregnant, they probably won’t have time to prepare these.
I plan to make some small clothes for the child. Though the third brother and sister-in-law don’t lack these, it’s just a token from us. They certainly don’t need anything else from our side, what do you think?"
He Jiefang nodded: "Alright, it’s the thought that counts. By the way, doesn’t your third sister-in-law like your pickled vegetables? Send some over when the time comes."
Wang Erni laughed: "Great minds think alike."
Thinking about their son’s college entrance examination next year: "In these few years, third sister-in-law often sent study materials for the kids. If Xudong could get into a university in Beijing next year, it’d be great. Then the third brother and sister-in-law could look after him and we wouldn’t have to worry so much."
He Jiefang stubbed out his cigarette: "Didn’t the third sister-in-law mention last time that Xudong has potential? The kid is really hardworking. But you better not tell him that, we shouldn’t add any pressure."
Wang Erni nodded upon hearing her husband’s words: "I know, I won’t tell him, just keeping it to myself."
He Yanqing and his wife showed up the day before New Year’s Eve with loads of packages: "Third sister-in-law, mom asked me to come and check on you."
Xinyan welcomed them warmly inside and poured them some brown sugar water: "It’s chilly and almost New Year’s. A phone call would suffice, you’re really busy taking care of children and tidying up the house. Why come all this way?"
He Yanqing put down the items: "Third sister-in-law, please don’t fuss. We are not outsiders. We’ve been too busy to come over these past few days. Third sister-in-law, have you had morning sickness?"
Xinyan smiled and said: "This little one is considerate. Just couldn’t stand the smell of fish earlier. So, your third brother cooked at his workplace and brought meals home later, and everything was fine. But it’s hard to say if I’ll have morning sickness in the future."
After chatting for a while, He Yanqing and his wife didn’t stay long, as it’s close to New Year and there are lots of tasks at home.
They arrived with numerous packages and left with equally many, which made them a bit embarrassed: "Third sister-in-law, this is way more than what we brought, this....."
Xinyan interrupted her: "Alright, hurry back to tidy up. These are for my two nephews, you two are just carrying them."
The couple didn’t know what to say upon hearing third sister-in-law’s words. He Yanqing knew it was her way of supporting them, feeling immensely grateful: "Okay, sister-in-law, I’ll take them shamelessly."
Soon, it was New Year’s Eve, and Xinyan and He Jinxuan were indeed as anticipated.
He Jinxuan had Xinyan sit beside him listening to beautiful music while he prepared the food. The two chatted about the baby in her belly, discussed plans for next year’s work, and imagined the future together.
It truly was quite cozy.
