Dabao raised his little head and explained, "My sister and I are twins. Mom said we are identical twins, so we look alike."

Lao Wu scratched his head, "What are identical twins?"

Xiaobao said softly: "It's just that mom provided an egg."

"What is an egg?" Lao Wu continued to ask.

Xia Songlan felt a little embarrassed listening to this. She was only briefly given that explanation because she was questioned by two children not long ago.

I didn't say much, but I didn't expect to be questioned by another child.

Xiaobao scratched his head and really couldn't say anything. He looked at Xia Songlan for help.

Sister Zhang was anxious, "Why are you so worried? Go, take your brothers and sisters to play with the other kids over there."

Then he said cheerfully to Xia Songlan, "His aunt, don't mind, our fifth child always likes to ask questions.

His dad said it was called one hundred thousand somethings.

Oh, it’s a word, I can’t remember it.”

"A hundred thousand whys?" Xia Songlan said with a smile.

"Yes, yes, that's it. You are well-educated and you can understand it immediately.

My husband thinks I am a rough man. But he can't help but think that I can give birth to five sons. "

She raised a palm triumphantly.

Sister Wang next to her laughed and joked, "That's... In terms of giving birth in our entire compound, Sister Zhang is the most fertile.

Five sons is not something that ordinary people can give birth to. It will be so impressive to take them out."

Sister Zhang was not angry when being teased, but smiled smugly at the side.

Sister Zhao, who had just fed her baby, patted the baby and asked Xia Songlan, "Where do you work? Do you have time to take care of the baby?"

"I'm in college now, and there are many people at home who can help take care of me."

Xia Songlan did not mention the fact that Aunt Wang helped take care of the child. She had mentioned it to her classmates before, but received a lot of strange looks. She never mentioned it again since then.

Sister Wang was curious: "So your family is from Beijing?"

Xia Songlan nodded as she looked at her children in the distance, "Yes, my ancestors are all from Beijing, including my grandfather's family and my grandfather's family."

Sister Zhao, "Tsk tsk... No wonder, it's good to have a mother close to home. Our mothers' homes are far away, and there is no one to help us.

Sister Zhang is the hardest-working one among us. She spends the whole day taking care of the children and doesn’t go to work at all.”

She said this without any ambiguity, she was just stating the facts.

Sister Zhang slapped her thigh and said, "That's right, I've been hanging around these little brats all day.

My husband wanted to arrange a job for me, but unfortunately I don’t have the time.”

Then he said softly: "The most important thing is that he is uneducated and can't even read a single word."

Sister Wang was surprised, "Didn't you say you went to school?"

"Hi~ I went there for two days and learned how to write my own name. Then my mother asked me to go home and do farm work, so I never went there again."

Sister Wang should be the youngest among the three of them, but she is a few years older than Xia Songlan.

She raised her eyebrows with some pride, "It's better to be educated. Although I am only at a high level, I can read and write. That's why our Mr. Zhao let me work in the supply and marketing cooperative."

In this day and age, being able to work in a supply and marketing cooperative is a truly enviable job.

Sister Zhang asked her, "Why didn't you go to work today? It's not a weekend or a holiday."

Sister Wang put her hand on her flat belly, a little shy, "I am pregnant now, right? I have severe morning sickness, so our Lao Zhao went to the company to ask for a few days off for me.

I feel better today, otherwise why haven't I been out for the past few days? "

Sister Zhao smiled happily and said, "Oh my, this is great news! You two have been married for almost ten years!

I’m finally pregnant, oh my, it’s so great.”

Sister Wang also looked relieved, "Yes, I drank a lot of bitter medicine over the years, and finally I got pregnant with this little ancestor. Our old Zhao paid attention to me and is very good to me now."

Her voice softened at the end, and a noticeable blush appeared on her face.

Xia Songlan just sat aside, listening to them quietly without interrupting, and from time to time her eyes glanced at the two little guys who were having fun in the distance.

This compound is not only elegant in environment, but also extremely safe. There are guards on duty at the gate, and from time to time there are soldiers in military uniforms patrolling the yard.

Everyone in the compound knows each other and the atmosphere is good.

very nice.

Seeing that it was almost noon and the temperature was getting higher and higher, Sister Zhang called out, "Old Five, go home and cook."

Sister Zhao and Sister Wang were going to the restaurant to get food. Sister Wang had just become pregnant and her husband wouldn't let her cook, and Sister Zhao had a young child and was too busy to handle the meal.

They asked Xia Songlan.

Xia Songlan asked, "What dishes are there for lunch?"

Sister Zhao, "You haven't been to the restaurant, have you? Since last year, the restaurant has been reformed, and the dishes are becoming more and more abundant, the quantity is sufficient, and it is cheap.

We all have coupons, so it's very convenient to eat there, and they have a variety of dishes, including meat and vegetables."

Sister Wang persuaded, "Why don't you come with us to fight? I have a lot of tickets on me."

Xia Songlan waved her hand and took out the tickets from her pocket. "That's not necessary. My wife gave me some before she went to work."

Sister Wang took a look and said, "Wow, this is quite a lot. I can't finish it in a few meals."

Sister Zhao said, "What else is there to say? Let's go to the restaurant."

She put the child in the stroller. The child was now asleep with a rosy little face.

Xia Songlan also greeted Dabao and Xiaobao.

The group went to the restaurant.

The restaurant is quite large. Just as Sister Zhao said, the menu is rich, with all kinds of dishes, a combination of meat and vegetables, and a rich variety of staple foods.

When Xia Songlan left, she bought sweet and sour pork tenderloin, fried hairtail cubes, cabbage vermicelli and seaweed egg drop soup.

I also bought some steamed dumplings for Dabao and Xiaobao.

She was a typical greedy person, and thought she could finish all the vegetables she bought. However, the three of them ate so much that a large part of them was still left.

I took the two little ones for a stroll in the yard for a while to help them digest their food before coaxing them to take a nap.

She originally wanted the two little ones to sleep with her in her room, but the two little ones were more self-conscious and went to their own rooms on their own initiative.

Xia Songlan stood at the door, feeling extremely lost.

She took a book and sat on the bed to pass the time. She didn't know when she fell asleep.

I felt an itch on my face in my sleep, so I opened my eyes.

"I told you that you are a lazy girl, but you still refuse to admit it. The children are all up and playing in the house, but you, as a mother, are still sleeping so soundly.

I woke up in the morning with the sun shining on my butt, but this afternoon the sun went down straight away.”

Ding Jingmo teased Xia Songlan with a smile.

Xia Songlan looked at him with sleepy eyes, then looked out the window.

How could the sun set? It's still so high in the sky that it's blinding.

Ning Jingmo was just teasing her. It was only a little after three o'clock and the children were not awake yet. He had nothing to do in the afternoon, so he came back early.

As soon as I entered the house, I saw the mother and her two daughters sleeping soundly, so I went to play with Xia Songlan.
