The 70s Novel: The Supporting Character Just Wants to Lie Down-Chapter 297: Treat as Usual

"Thank you, Aunt Li." Wang Miaomiao isn’t stingy and usually treats Aunt Li, Aunt Zhang, Sister-in-law Yang, and Sister-in-law Song well, with wages and benefits in place, and they get along quite happily.

Wang Miaomiao is pregnant again, which is certainly good news for them. Taking good care of her shows their worth, and by the end of the year, the benefits will definitely be better...

"Mom, Mom..."

Xiao Hanhan and Xiao Huihui are about to turn one year old. The two children have already learned to walk and talk and are now at a very active and mischievous stage.

At this moment, Sister-in-law Yang and Sister-in-law Song each hold one of them in their arms, fearing the children might bump into Wang Miaomiao.

"Hey, Mommy’s darling babies... come over here for a hug." Wang Miaomiao beckoned them over.

But Jiang Yan stopped her halfway, "No, they’re so hyperactive right now, and you’re not even three months along yet. It would be terrible if they bumped into you."

"Yes, yes, it’s still early in your pregnancy; be careful. Don’t hold the children for now," advised Sister-in-law Yang, holding onto the lively Xiao Hanhan. And everyone nodded along...

Wang Miaomiao felt a little unhappy, disagreeing, "There’s no need to be so nervous. Before, when we didn’t know, I held them every day. You shouldn’t be so alarmed; it makes things worse. Kids are very sensitive. I don’t want them to feel that because I’m having a sibling I have to distance myself from them, like I don’t like them anymore..."

"These two are smart enough. Come, Xiao Hanhan, Xiao Huihui, come to Mommy," Wang Miaomiao really disliked this intentional behavior; children are very sensitive, and she didn’t want them to think her pregnancy was more important than them.

Wang Miaomiao looked firmly at Sister-in-law Yang and Sister-in-law Song, signaling them to let go of their hands and let the twins come over.

Having said this much, everyone had no choice but to go along with her wishes, and her concerns were indeed valid. Just being cautious usually was fine, but making a fuss was really unnecessary.

"Miaomiao has thought it through thoroughly. We all just need to be more careful generally, no need to get too nervous," Jiang Zhongyi spoke up. Previously being overly cautious was for the kids, and now treating things normally was also for the kids. Everything is for the children’s good...

Jiang Yan was a little disappointed inside, sigh... Such a good opportunity, could have separated his wife from those two little rascals.

Seeing his two sons sitting one on each side in his wife’s arms, he felt a bit troubled, "Miaomiao, you shouldn’t spoil them too much either. Hugging and cuddling all day won’t be good for their masculinity. They’ll be three after the New Year..."

Wang Miaomiao glanced at him incredulously, "What are you thinking? They’re not even one year old yet..."

Babies born in December are practically three years old by the start of the year.

"Alas, a doting mother always produces spoiled children..." Jiang Yan looked at her and the children earnestly, seeming very troubled.

Wang Miaomiao felt a little guilty under his gaze, thinking boys shouldn’t be spoiled, and perhaps it would be better if the father took charge. So she said, "Then next year, next year let you take care of them."

Jiang Yan raised an eyebrow, knowing this was the biggest concession from his young wife. He was satisfied and responded cheerfully, "Alright, next year I’ll train them."

Wang Miaomiao’s lips twitched a bit — starting training this young? Suddenly she felt the resentment from the two kids.

"Miaomiao, since you’re pregnant, what do you plan to do about school?" Jiang Zhongyi suddenly posed the question.

Wang Miaomiao was taken aback, then quickly calculated before breaking into laughter, "Oh, this baby came at just the right time. The due date coincides with late July to early August, so there’s no rush, no need to take leave from school for childbirth."

Old Master Jiang showed concern, "And how about being a teaching assistant; studying and assisting might be quite taxing, isn’t it?"

"No problem, my major courses are almost finished, and teaching is not an issue either; it’s all in my mind..." Wang Miaomiao proudly raised her chin a bit, full of spirit and charm, so delightful to behold.

Anyway, she’s got Jiang Yan absolutely captivated.

"Handle yourself cautiously in the future. If you can’t keep up, we’ll consider a leave of absence, but don’t force yourself," Old Master Jiang gently advised.

"Oh, I still haven’t shared the good news with my in-laws." Jiang Yan walked to the phone, dialed a familiar number, "Gangzi, my wife is pregnant again. Surely this time she’ll have a daughter, as pretty and adorable as little darling."

Last year when Yang Zhigang’s daughter came to visit, he was envious for a long time, a warm and sweet little daughter, a father’s little treasure.

"Really? Congratulations, congratulations." Yang Zhigang sincerely rejoiced with his friend and brother-in-law. At that time, it was still believed that having more children meant more blessings. "I’ll go inform Mom and Dad once I’m free and have them call you back."

"Sounds good." Jiang Yan hung up the phone and continued spreading the good news, dialing his big brother and then his second brother’s number... 𝑓𝘳𝘦𝑒𝑤𝑒𝘣𝘯ℴ𝘷𝘦𝓁.𝑐𝑜𝑚

"Congratulations, congratulations..." The sincere congratulations from the other end of the phone conveyed, the home was filled with joy, happiness everywhere.

At the factory, Yang Zhigang found his in-laws quickly with a grin on his face, "Dad, Mom, just got a call from brother-in-law saying my sister is expecting again..."

"Expecting again?" Liu Yulan paused for a moment, then exclaimed in surprise, "You mean your sister is pregnant again?"

"Yes, already two and a half months along." Yang Zhigang smiled happily, but then he remembered the situation at home where his wife had been wanting a second child but hadn’t conceived yet. He was in a bind, thinking about how to talk to his wife upon returning home...

"That’s great, old man, did you hear that? You’re going to have another grandchild." Liu Yulan was overjoyed.

Wang Baoxing was happy too, but after the joy came a bit of melancholy, "Having more grandchildren is wonderful, but I really want my own grandson, alas, when will Jia Bao give us a grandson..."

Hearing this, Liu Yulan’s heart also felt slightly bitter. Their daughter and son-in-law have twins, one child after another, while their son hasn’t even found a partner yet, studying far away, beyond their reach.

"Why don’t we write a letter to urge him? There are plenty of girls in college; maybe he can find someone to date? If he can study and date at the same time, balancing both learning and marrying would be perfect." Liu Yulan’s idea seemed more plausible the more she thought about it.

Wang Baoxing hesitated a bit, "Can it work?"

"Why can’t it? Our daughter has been managing marriage, childbirth, studies, and making money, without missing a beat," Liu Yulan remarked regretfully, "We’ve just spoiled him too much. He’s a twin with Miao Miao; if she can handle everything, why can’t he?"

"Let’s go, let’s call our daughter and ask about the situation, then write the letter. It has to be quick; give him a little push, or he won’t be motivated." Liu Yulan was quick to act, eager to get things done right away.
