After traveling through time, the adults were completely in my hands
Chapter 178: Longevity Peach
Daqing, Duke Dingguo's Mansion.
"Mom, mom." Jindou was sitting in the room when she heard a cry coming from outside. The door opened and Wei Qing walked in holding his daughter.
Three years ago, Jindou gave birth to a pair of twins, a boy and a girl, after ten months of pregnancy.
The names of the two children were chosen by Duke Dingguo himself. The son was named Wei Yichen and the daughter was named Wei Yiqian.
Jindou and Wei Qing did not give their children nicknames, they usually called them Chenchen and Qianqian.
However, although the two children are twins, they look very different and are not alike at all.
Logically speaking, boys should look like their mothers and girls like their fathers when it comes to appearance.
But what makes Jindou very depressed is that her children are just the opposite.
Look at my son's delicate eyebrows and eyes, which seem to have been carefully carved. He looks just like his father. Then look at my daughter. Alas... she looks exactly like me.
After the two children were born, Jindou looked at their appearance and sighed countless times.
The appearances of these two children should be swapped.
For this boy, it’s enough to be talented, he doesn’t need to be so pretty. This girl should be prettier, right?
However, although Jindou sighed here, everyone in the Duke Dingguo's Mansion obviously preferred the quirky Qianqian. This was even more obvious in their father.
At this moment, Jindou saw Wei Qing carrying his daughter in, so he quickly looked outside again. Sure enough, he saw his son stumbling towards him, shouting, "Daddy, wait for me."
Alas, how could this father be so partial? Jindou sighed and was about to stand up from the chair when he saw Wei Yichen slip and fall as he stepped into the house.
"Mom" Wei Yichen looked at Jindou and was about to burst into tears.
"Hurry up and get up!" Wei Qing, who was holding his daughter, saw this and scolded.
"Mom..." Wei Yichen was so frightened by his father's scolding that he dared not cry anymore. He quickly got up and ran to Jindou. He stretched out his two little hands, raised his head and said pitifully, "Mom, hug me."
"Boys don't need to be hugged," Wei Qing looked at his son and scolded him again.
"Second brother" Jindou picked up his son with heartache and called Wei Qing angrily.

At night, Jindou lay in bed, looking at Wei Qing who had just walked in from outside. He couldn't help but nag again: "Second brother, these sons and daughters are your own children. You can't be too partial, right? Can you treat your sons better in the future?"
Wei Qing listened to Jindou's chatter without saying a word. He just took off his coat, lifted the quilt and got into bed.
"Second brother, did you listen to what I said?" Jindou looked at Wei Qing angrily.
"Boys, there's no need to spoil them so much," Wei Qing said as he pressed down on Jindou again.
The boy is only three years old, Jindou lamented in his heart.
Of course, Jindou could never have imagined that a greater blow to his son was yet to come.

Soon, the birthday of the old lady of Duke Dingguo's Mansion arrived.
During the day, the Duke Dingguo's Mansion was filled with guests and was extremely lively. In the evening, the family set up a banquet in the old lady's yard.
"Grandma, I want to give you a gift." Just as everyone was about to pick up their chopsticks, Qianqian, who was sitting next to Xu, suddenly spoke.
"Oh, Qianqian, what gift do you want to give?" Xu said with a smile.
When the family heard the conversation between the grandmother and grandson, they all looked over, including Jindou and Wei Qing. Everyone thought that Qianqian must have given her grandmother some small gadgets, so they all smiled and waited.
"Grandma," Qianqian ran to the old lady and said in a baby voice, "Grandma, today is your birthday. I want to turn into a longevity peach for you to eat."
"Okay," the old lady laughed, thinking Qianqian was just joking.
"Grandma, take a good look," Xianxian said in a baby voice, reaching out and taking out a small bag from her arms.
Jindou looked at it from the side and realized that this small bag was what his daughter had begged him to make.
Once, when Jindou was playing with his brother and sister, he took out a bag and performed a magic trick for them. After Xianxian saw it, she pestered Jindou every day and wanted a bag too. Jindou had no choice but to make one for her.
However, when Jindou saw Xianxian taking out the small bag, he just thought that she was imitating him and took it out to play with it.
Here, Xianxian imitated Jindou and let everyone look at the empty bag. Then, she said to the old lady, "Grandma, blow into the bag."
"Okay," the old lady smiled and blew into the bag in coordination with Xianxian.
"One, two, three," Xianqian imitated Jindou and counted to three. Then she handed the bag to the old lady and said in a baby voice, "Grandma, please take the peaches and eat them."
Were there really peaches in the bag? At this moment, everyone, including Jindou, fixed their eyes on the bag.
"This..." The old lady hesitated for a moment. She didn't believe that a little kid like Xianxian could produce a longevity peach from an empty bag. However, in order not to spoil the child's fun, the old lady still reached her hand into the bag.
At this moment, the yard suddenly became quiet, and the family's eyes were all fixed on the bag.
The old lady put her hand into the bag, and suddenly showed an expression of disbelief. She hurriedly took her hand out of the bag impatiently, and in her hand, there actually was a big, bright red, tempting peach!
Oh my God! The entire Dingguo family in the courtyard stared with their eyes wide open. The old lady even looked left and right with the peach in her hand, still unable to believe it.
"Wow, the little sister is so great!" The brothers Wei Yizhao and Wei Yizhong couldn't help but jump up at this time.
"Jindou, is this what you taught Xianxian?" Yang was shocked for a long time before she came to her senses. She looked at Jindou and asked impatiently.
"No, no, I have never taught you that." Jindou looked at the brothers Wei Lang and Wei Qing, as well as the gazes cast at him by Duke Dingguo and his wife, and quickly waved his hands.
This is not something that can be taught, but an innate, supernatural ability.
"I can do it too, I can do it too." Wei Yichen, who had been sitting next to Duke Dingguo, ran to Xianqian and took the bag from Xianqian's hand while yelling.
Haha, could it be that my son can do it too? Jindou, along with everyone else in the courtyard, cast his gaze on Wei Yichen again.
Wei Yichen imitated his sister, showing the empty bag to everyone. He then asked the grandmother to blow into the bag as well, and after saying "one, two, three", he excitedly said to the old lady in a baby voice, "Grandma, quickly take the peaches."
"Okay." The old lady was very fond of this great-grandson who looked exactly like Wei Qing when he was a child. She agreed repeatedly and put her hand into the bag.
Everyone in the yard was staring at the old lady's movements nervously, but when the old lady put her hand in, she froze and slowly took her hand out. The old lady spread out her palm, and there was nothing inside.
Hmm, what's going on? Not only did others wonder, Jindou couldn't figure it out either. How could one of these twin siblings be able to conjure something up, while the other couldn't?
Wei Yichen saw that there was nothing in his grandmother's hand. He quickly opened the bag and looked inside. Then he burst into tears and ran towards Jindou, crying, "Mom, why can my sister do it but I can't? Is it because you only taught my sister and not Chenchen?"
"No, no." Jindou picked up Wei Yichen and had to coax him patiently.
