Reborn in the 80s: The Smart Wife with a Secret Space Chapter 1363: You Really Are So Clingy
With a few elders watching the kids, Xinyan also got up and headed to the kitchen, followed by He Jiewen and Sun Zhenling.
Wu Shengfang didn’t dare let the two pregnant women help: "You two are in a special condition now, don’t come in. If you get hurt, it’ll be a big deal for us."
Xinyan laughed: "It’s not as exaggerated as you say."
Chu Zhenhua, being perceptive, quickly handed over the garlic from the basin and the onions from the basket: "Alright then, these are your tasks."
No work is too much, Xinyan wasn’t picky. She took her cousin-in-law He Jiewen and sat to the side: "Second cousin-in-law, when they start cooking, we can take a stroll outside."
He Jiewen laughed: "I was just thinking the same."
Sun Zhenling thought of something: "Cousin, I heard your aunt and your senior sister are also pregnant?"
Xinyan smiled and nodded: "Yes."
Sun Zhenling thought of her little cousin and burst out laughing: "Now our little Junjun might be puzzled again with all this uncle and brother business. He might wonder why one is called uncle and the other brother when both are obviously there."
Xinyan didn’t follow up on her words: "No, my Junjun has already figured out the seniority and won’t get it wrong."
He Jiewen also smiled and echoed: "Junjun is indeed very smart. Even at such a young age, he seems to have a sense of responsibility."
While chatting and laughing, the kitchen preparations were done. Wu Shengfang took the things from their hands: "Alright, go back to the living room and rest. The food is almost ready."
Sun Zhenling couldn’t let go of the kids and went back to the living room.
Whereas Xinyan and He Jiewen strolled outside.
He Jinxuan, just coming out of the study, didn’t see anyone: "Mom, where is Xinyan?"
Sun Zhenling jokingly said: "Brother-in-law, you’re too clingy. You can’t stand not seeing her for a second. She went out for a stroll with my second sister-in-law, just a while ago."
He Jinxuan, hearing this: "Mom, I’m going to check outside."
Saying this, he took his thick coat and didn’t forget to take Xinyan’s scarf hanging there.
The following Sun Zhenjun, seeing his cousin like this, followed suit and went out.
As soon as He Jinxuan stepped outside, he saw the children not far away setting off small firecrackers. He slowly approached Xinyan and wrapped her scarf around her from behind: "It’s so cold; you came out without a scarf. Aren’t you afraid of catching a cold?"
Xinyan acted a bit spoiled: "Isn’t that why I have you?"
Seeing her being cheeky, He Jinxuan said: "If I hadn’t come on time, you would’ve caught a cold."
Saying this, he arranged the scarf properly and rubbed Xinyan’s face: "Don’t do this in the future."
At this moment, Sun Zhenjun also arrived: "Wife."
But he came out in a hurry and didn’t have anything in hand: "Wife, it’s too cold; let’s go back."
He Jiewen glanced at the young couple beside her, oblivious to others, and felt a flash of envy in her eyes. However, she wasn’t jealous. After all, her own He Zhenjun treated her well, and she knew there are some things that can’t be compared.
She was already very content with her current life.
He Jinxuan held Xinyan’s hand, just about to turn back, when he saw Sun Zhenjun waiting ahead: "Cousin, have you ever thought about working with me?"
Sun Zhenjun was stunned at these words. His current job felt like an early retirement, with no passion. Thinking about how his parents highly praised He Jinxuan, he glanced at his wife beside him and thought about the soon-to-be-born child: "Alright, I’ll mention resigning to the unit later."
Xinyan, however, said: "There’s no rush to resign. Instead, apply for unpaid leave, come back after sister-in-law gives birth. If you want to go back to work, it’s not too tiring. If not, you can sell it, and you can still earn some money."
Sun Zhenjun laughed outright: "I got too excited and acted on impulse."
By the time they reached home, there was only one pot of soup left on the stove.
Uncle Han Jingheng called everyone to the table: "A lot has changed in our family over the past year. Everyone has achieved something in their positions: promotions, further studies, strengthening capabilities, and even pregnancies. All in all, it’s a time of great joy.
I hope everyone will continue to strive and work hard in the new year. I believe we will be even more prosperous. Come, let us all raise a glass."
