Sweet Nostalgia of the 80s-Chapter 1378: Sour, really sour.

"Don’t worry, I don’t feel tired. Knitting a sweater for my little grandchild, I’m quite delighted..." Zhang Yun smiled broadly.

"Mom, you want a grandson, right?" An Hao worried, what if she gives birth to a girl?

Would that disappoint her in-laws? Would they not like it?

While Zhang Yun knitted, she spoke, "You’re not wrong at all. Our old Ning Family hasn’t been very fortunate with male descendants. Your grandfather’s generation only had him as a child, and in your father’s generation, they finally had two sons. But you know about the war era, after your father joined the military, the home was raided and wiped out by the Japanese, leaving no one behind. Only he was left in the family. When it came to Qin Jian, I gave birth to him, but due to a mix-up, ended up with a sick child, and I had to be very careful every day. Where would I have the energy to have another child? So, he was an only child too. Now that you are pregnant, and it’s twins, this news excited your father and me so much that we couldn’t sleep all night."

"The greater the hope, the greater the disappointment. What if... there are two girls in my stomach?" To An Hao, male or female, they were all flesh of her own flesh.

However, clearly, her in-laws were hoping for a boy.

After all, people of this era value the concept of passing on the family line heavily.

She couldn’t blame them for that.

"It won’t be." Zhang Yun confidently said, "Just look at the shape of your belly, it’s clearly a boy. Besides, with your skin being so dry... In short, there are various signs that show you are carrying a boy. Everyone in the courtyard says so."

"What if it’s not..." Better to be prepared than sorry, after all, who has x-ray vision?

"If it’s not, then it’s not. Though I hope for a grandson, I would be happy with a granddaughter too. Granddaughters are even more affectionate." Zhang Yun’s statement was impeccably considerate, not putting any pressure on An Hao.

"If you say so, I feel relieved." An Hao let out a sigh of relief. fɾeewebnoveℓ.co๓

While they were talking, footsteps approached. Qin Jian had returned and, seeing his mother and wife chatting under the sycamore tree at the home’s entrance, hastened over to An Hao.

"What are you and Mom talking about? What’s this about feeling relieved?" Qin Jian smiled as he squatted down, stretching his hand to touch An Hao’s belly.

It had been over nine months, and her belly looked like a fully inflated ball, truly spectacular.

"We were discussing the gender of the babies." Zhang Yun looked up, her gaze piercing through her reading glasses, "Qin Jian, do you prefer a boy or a girl?"

"As long as it’s from my wife, I will love anything," Qin Jian answered without hesitation.

"Sappy. That’s really sappy," Zhang Yun covered her mouth as she spoke, "That’s the sappiest thing I’ve heard."

"Mom, you’ve really gotten better at lying. I have heard far sappier things..." Qin Jian said meaningfully.

"You little rascal, don’t start with me! Alright, it’s getting late; I’ll go prepare dinner. You keep your wife company." Having said this, Zhang Yun packed up her things and went inside.

Qin Jian casually pulled over a stool and sat next to An Hao, his eyes twinkling as he looked at her: "Are the two little ones behaving?"

An Hao’s smile curved, a sweet smile rippling through her dimples: "Why don’t you feel them for yourself."

Qin Jian’s big hand gently rested on her belly, which bulged like a small hill, and almost immediately, he felt two strong kicks come at him. Thump! Thump!

"Truly a couple of little troublemakers."

"Yes. They can’t wait to come out..."
