251. Fun in the Twin Village

Lin Qingxue hurried home with Donghe and Wennuan. Before they reached the door, they heard the loud cries of the twins coming from inside the house.

Her heart suddenly tightened and she quickened her pace and rushed into the house, only to see Old Man Lin and Mrs. Lin standing by the kang in a panic, looking anxious.

Mrs. Lin held a rattle in her hand and kept shaking it, trying to coax the children, but the twins were still crying with their faces red.

"What's going on? Grandpa and grandma, why are the twins crying all the time?" Lin Qingxue quickly stepped forward, took the children from Mrs. Lin's hands, patted their backs gently, and looked concerned.

Old Man Lin sighed helplessly, "I don't know why, she suddenly started crying, and nothing I did to comfort her would stop her."

"Yes! Her face turned red when she cried," Mrs. Lin added.

Lin Qingxue touched the child's forehead and found it burning hot. She frowned and said, "It is very hot, but I don't know if it's because of crying or something else."

"Qingxue, comfort the children first. Wait until they stop crying and then check if they are still hot. If they are still hot, take the children back to see a doctor."

Old man Lin said seriously that if anything happened to the child so young, even if he died, it would not be enough to compensate.

Mrs. Lin didn't say anything, but asked the servant to bring a basin of warm water and asked Lin Qingxue to wipe the faces and hands of the twins.

Lin Qingxue wiped the children's foreheads with warm water to cool them down, and hummed a lullaby softly, trying to comfort them.

Old Man Lin and Mrs. Lin were anxiously standing by, handing over towels from time to time, their eyes full of worry.

After a while, the twins stopped crying and their temperature dropped.

"It's okay, it's not hot anymore. I guess I just got too hot, and then I cried too much, which made my whole body hot."

Lin Qingxue touched the cheeks of the twins, feeling relieved and her tone became much more relaxed.

"I guess they just missed you. It was the first time they came home and you weren't there with them. They were scared and started crying."

Mrs. Lin shook her head and said helplessly, these two little guys are really troublesome.

"When Qingmin and Qingyue were young, they were not as troublesome as these two," Old Man Lin added, but the two elders looked at the twins with loving eyes.

Lin Qingxue smiled and nodded, saying, "Maybe he really missed me. I've been away for many months, and they are in the period of knowing things now. Before I came back, Jinxuan asked me if Huaiyi and Huaixi didn't recognize him after he had been away for so long."

After saying that, she gently pinched the twins' hands, and looking at them sleeping peacefully, her heart finally settled down.

At this time, Dong He whispered to the side, "Princess, it's getting late. It's time to prepare some food for the children. I wonder what to give the two young masters for lunch?"

Lin Qingxue then remembered and quickly replied, "Yes, I almost forgot. Donghe, go tell the kitchen to make some soft and sticky millet porridge and some delicious fish soup. The children must be hungry."

Dong He took the order, walked out of the room quickly and headed towards the Lin family's kitchen. She had been to the Lin family several times with the Crown Prince's wife and was familiar with the place.

"Qingxue, now that you're back, Huaiyi and Huaixi, do you plan to take care of the baby yourself or let your mother-in-law take care of it?"

Mrs. Lin felt a warm feeling in her heart as she watched the twins sleeping peacefully. Her second son and daughter-in-law were unlucky and were not able to see her children get married and enjoy the happiness of family.

She had to live well, wait until Qingmin's wife gave birth to a child and Qingyue found a good man, then go to the underground to find them and talk to them about the children.

"If I'm not busy, I'll keep it with me. If I'm busy, I'll send it to my mother-in-law's yard and let her take care of it," Lin Qingxue said with a smile.

She looked at Old Man Lin and Old Lady Lin and said, "Jinxuan and I have six children in total. Huaiyuan will inherit the Duke of Huguo's Mansion in the future, and my Huaiyi will have to rely on himself in the future. My mother-in-law is the Queen Mother's biological daughter. It is better for Huaiyi and Huaixi to be raised by her than to follow me. If they often go to the palace with my mother-in-law, they can also have some favor with the Crown Prince."

Old Man Lin stroked his beard and said with a smile: "Of course, the descendants of our Lin family are all promising. Huaiyi and Huaixi are not bad either. Huaiyuan and Huaining are also good children. You have to educate them well."

Mother Lin rolled her eyes at him and said, "You're the only one who talks big. Take care of these two little ancestors first. But what you said is still very true, Qingxue, and grandma can see that Huaiyuan and Huaining treat you as their own mother."

"I know, grandma. I treat them as my own children. Has Qingyue started looking for someone? Will Lao Wu's wife help with the selection?"

Lin Qingxue stood up and agreed. She got along well with the children. Of course, as a parent, in addition to hoping that their children would become successful, they also wanted to pave the way for them so that they could have an easier time in the future.

"We haven't met yet. Grandma asked Qingyue, and she wants you to find her a suitable family, one with a simple family. The people the fifth daughter-in-law knows are all powerful and wealthy, and Qingyue said she can't handle it."

Mrs. Lin shook her head and said with a smile that although her granddaughter's words were unpleasant, she still agreed with them.

"Qingyue is soft-hearted and simple-minded. Your grandmother and I are worried about Old Five's wife finding someone else for her. Old Five's wife comes from a wealthy family, so even if others are unwilling, they won't show it. But what about behind the scenes? Qingyue is being bullied, and we can't help."

Old Man Lin spoke in a very serious tone. He felt that his family's life was already very good and there was no need to let his granddaughter marry into a family that was out of their reach.

Old Man Lin and Mrs. Lin just wanted their two granddaughters to find a good husband and marry into a simple family without so many dirty things.

"Then I'll see if there are any suitable generals under Jin Yu." Lin Qingxue also felt that there would be no one suitable for Lin Qingyue in the Fourth Princess' circle.

As he was speaking, Dong He came back, followed by several maids, carrying steaming hot meals.

Lin Qingxue carefully placed the twins on the kang, stood up and walked towards the table. Old Man Lin and Mrs. Lin also came over.

"Aren't Huaiyuan and Xiaoya coming back for dinner?"

Old Man Lin and Mrs. Lin sat down on both sides of Lin Qingxue, looked at the food on the table, and thought that the children had not come back yet, so they asked.

"Don't worry about them for now. They'll come back to eat when they're hungry. Besides, they might have been asked to stay for dinner by their cousin Qingli."

Lin Qingxue shook her head. The villagers knew Xiaoya and the others. Besides, they were grown up and would definitely go home to eat when they were hungry. There was no need for an adult to follow them.

Hearing Lin Qingxue say this, Old Man Lin and Mrs. Lin didn't say anything else. They picked up their chopsticks and started eating.

After the three of them finished their meal, Lin Qingxue asked the maid to clear the table away and then turned and walked towards the kang.

On the kang, the twins, boy and girl, were sleeping soundly. Wen Nuan was sitting beside them, fanning them with a palm-leaf fan.

After sleeping for almost an hour, the twins woke up slowly. As soon as they woke up, they threw themselves into Lin Qingxue's arms and asked for kisses and hugs.

After playing with the twins for a while, Donghe fetched some water and helped them wipe their faces and hands. After a while, the twins felt much more comfortable.

"I'm hungry, eat," Gu Huaixi said in a baby voice, and then took Lin Qingxue's hand to touch her belly.

"My stomach is rumbling," Gu Huaiyi also said.

"Okay, mother will feed you right away," Lin Qingxue said, and then asked Donghe to bring the food prepared for the twins.

Soon, a bowl of steaming millet porridge and a bowl of crucian carp soup were served.

Lin Qingxue scooped a spoonful of millet porridge, blew it cool gently, and brought it to the children's mouths. The little ones seemed to smell the aroma of the food, opened their little mouths slightly, and ate with relish.

The twins took turns eating, one bite at a time. The main reason was that the twins had to be fed by Lin Qingxue before they would eat, so they could only take turns eating, one bite at a time. Old man Lin and Mrs. Lin watched, their faces filled with happy smiles.

Just when the twins were eating happily, there were sounds of footsteps and laughter in the yard. Lin Qingxue looked up and saw Gu Xiaoya holding Gu Huaining and Gu Xiaowan's hands, skipping into the house, followed by Gu Huaiyuan and his two brothers.

"Mom, we're back!"

Gu Xiaoya's clear voice broke the originally warm and quiet atmosphere in the room. When the twins heard the voice, they waved their hands excitedly and babbled, as if they were greeting their older brother and sister.

"Mom, Huaining is back. We had a lot of fun today. Cousin Xiaomeng took us to play a lot," Gu Huaining shouted as he walked towards Lin Qingxue.

"Aunt, Grandpa, Grandma," Gu Huaiyu and Gu Huairen walked to Lin Qingxue and called them respectfully.

"Mother," Gu Huaiyuan walked to Lin Qingxue and wanted to take over the task of feeding her, but the twins didn't want him to feed them.

Lin Qingxue smiled and shook her head. "You guys also know to go home, right? You must be starving. Go wash your hands and come to eat. Donghe, go to the kitchen and get some food for your little masters."

"Mom, have you eaten?" Gu Huaining asked with a smile. She didn't feel hungry when she was playing, but now she felt very hungry.

"It's time to eat. Go wash your hands first. You can eat soon," Lin Qingxue said without raising her head, but her hands did not stop feeding her.

Gu Xiaoya curiously moved closer to the twins, watching them eat, and couldn't help laughing: "Huai Yi and Huai Xi are eating so happily, just watching them makes me even hungrier."

After saying that, he ran to the sink, washed his hands quickly, and sat at the dining table waiting for dinner. Gu Huaining and the others saw this and followed him to wash their hands.

Gu Huaiyuan walked over to Lin Qingxue and asked softly, "Mother, are your brothers and sisters crying anymore today?"

Lin Qingxue gently touched his head. "It's okay now. I just felt a little hot before and I missed you so much that I cried for a while. I'm fine now."

"That's good, mother. When will we go back this afternoon?" Gu Huaiyuan continued to ask, looking at the twins with a smile.

After a moment's thought, Lin Qingxue said, "There's no need to rush back this afternoon. It's a rare opportunity to come back, so spend more time with your great-grandfather and great-grandmother. We'll set off for home later."

Gu Huaiyuan nodded with a gentle smile on his face: "Listen to mother, I also want to spend more time with my great grandfather and great grandmother. They are always thinking about us."

At this time, Gu Huaiyu and Gu Huairen washed their hands and sat down at the dining table.

Gu Huaiyu's eyes sparkled as he shared excitedly, "Aunt, today my cousin Xiaomeng took us to the small river at the village head. The water there was so clear, and we saw lots of small fish and shrimps!"

Gu Huairen also echoed: "Yes, Auntie, it's fun. Cousin Xiaomeng said she would take us to the river to catch fish this afternoon. Can we go?"

Old Man Lin and Mrs. Lin listened with doting smiles on their faces. Mrs. Lin couldn't help but remind them: "Be careful when you go out to play in the afternoon. The river is slippery, don't fall."

After washing his hands, Gu Huaining came over and pulled Lin Qingxue's arm, saying coquettishly, "Mom, I made a wreath today, but it's not pretty. When I learn how to make one, I'll make one for you."

Lin Qingxue smiled and agreed: "Okay, Mom is looking forward to it. When you go fishing in the river, be careful and don't go to deep water."

As they were talking, Donghe and her maids came in with food and placed the steaming hot meal on the table.

Gu Xiaoya looked at the table full of delicious food and couldn't wait to pick up the chopsticks: "Wow, these are all my favorites, I'm going to eat!"

The Lin family's cooks also knew how to make barbecue. Before Lin Qingxue married into the Gu family, she had taught the cooks how to make these.

The children also love to eat it, otherwise Donghe would not have asked the kitchen to make it. The children laughed and talked happily, sharing the fun things they had when playing while eating, and the house was very lively.

Old Man Lin and Mrs. Lin looked at the whole family with great satisfaction in their hearts. Although the years had left traces on their faces, the happiness at the moment made them feel that everything was worth it.

After the twins had eaten their fill, they burped contentedly, leaned in Lin Qingxue's arms, and rubbed their round little bellies.

Lin Qingxue patted their backs gently, coaxing them. They played coquettishly in her arms for a while, and then the twins had a crawling competition on the kang.

Seeing this, Gu Huaiyuan took the initiative to say, "Mother, I'll take my brothers and sisters to the yard to play for a while, so you can take a break."

Lin Qingxue looked up at him and said, "No need. Just let them crawl around and play. Aren't you going to the river to catch fish? Huaiyuan, you're the eldest brother, you have to take good care of your younger siblings."

Lin Qingxue stood at the door, looking at the backs of the children in the yard, feeling a lot of emotions in her heart.

She recalled the scene when she first entered the Gu family. She had gone through many ups and downs along the way, but fortunately, now the whole family is safe and harmonious.

She secretly made up her mind to protect this hard-earned happiness and let the children thrive in a loving environment.

The twins crawled for a while, and when they got tired, they lay on the kang and played. After lying for a while, they got up and continued crawling.

On the other side, Gu Huaiyuan took his younger brother and sister to find Lin Xiaomeng first. After meeting up with her, they went to the river together.

Lin Xiaomeng did not come out empty-handed. She carried a basket with a fishing net and other tools in it.

"The water is shallow here, so we'll catch fish here. I brought a fishing net and a scoop net. Who will go into the water with the fishing net to catch the fish, and who will take the scoop net to catch the fish? Xiaoya, let's go get some sticks and beat the water to drive the fish over."

As Lin Xiaomeng spoke, she put the basket on the ground, took out the fishing net and scoop net from the basket, and taught Gu Huaining and the other three boys how to use the fishing net and scoop net.
