Armed with a machete and a gun, armed with a system, they fled the famine.

Chapter 477 You've Changed

Zhou Renbin sometimes thinks that if he were a girl, he believes his mother would never scold him like she does now. She would definitely cherish him and treat him like a precious gem.

It's a pity he's a man.

After hearing Zhou Renbin's words, Zhao Yan immediately understood Qiu Zhen's situation.

You can't hide your love for someone.

When Qiu Zhen first saw her daughters, Xiao Fubao and Zhao Xiaomi, she was so fond of them that she wanted to visit them at the farm every day. Now that she has a granddaughter, she must be overjoyed.

After exchanging a few more words, Zhou Renbin took his leave.

He also had to inform his uncle's family.

The day after Qi Caixia gave birth, the entire village of Huaihua knew that Qiu Zhen had finally gained a granddaughter.

After that, everyone who saw her would congratulate her.

Chiu Chen always responded with exceptional patience, a stark contrast to her previous impatient demeanor.

The person who understands this best is her husband, Zhou Xiong.

Zhou Xiong clearly felt that ever since his daughter-in-law gave birth to a daughter, his wife's attitude had become particularly amiable, and she spoke to him much more gently.

Lying in bed that night, he was still wondering about it. He said to Qiu Zhen, "Zhenzhen, you've changed. You've become like a woman."

Upon hearing this, Qiu Zhen gave the person a disgruntled look.

"What nonsense are you talking about? I am a woman."

“But you never used to speak so softly,” Zhou Xiong said in a low voice.

How many years has it been since he's seen his wife like this?

It seems that ever since she gave birth to four sons in a row, and then the first three sons gave birth to grandsons one after another, Zhenzhen has never been at ease.

Qiu Zhen thought for a moment and seemed to realize that she had indeed been domineering and shrewish over the years.

She muttered to her husband, "It's not my fault. Who told you to be so useless and not give me a daughter? You gave birth to several boys in a row. I'm tired of seeing them. How can I be in the mood to smile and talk to you?"

It's different now.

Her long-awaited granddaughter was finally born, and her mood was instantly healed by her.

Zhou Xiong lowered his eyes silently, and couldn't help but wonder: having children is a woman's business, what does it have to do with him, a grown man? Zhenzhen can't blame herself for not being able to give birth to a daughter, can she?

However, he only dared to mutter to himself; when facing Qiu Zhen, he could only nod and agree.

"You're right, you're right. From now on, we'll treat Renbin's granddaughter well."

Qiu Zhen rolled her eyes in the darkness. "Of course."

She had finally welcomed her granddaughter, so naturally she wanted to pamper her.

……

Qiu Zhen dotes on her newborn granddaughter, and when the granddaughter turns one month old, she decides to throw a grand celebration for her.

Finding cooking at home too troublesome, she simply waved her hand and announced generously, "I'll treat everyone to a feast in town."

That's right.

She planned to invite the entire village to a banquet at Shenjia Restaurant in Shitou Town.

Upon hearing this, the villagers of Huaihua Village immediately promised to be there on time.

nonsense.

A meal at Shen's Restaurant costs a lot of money, so how could they possibly refuse Qiu Zhen's generous invitation to a banquet?

After announcing it in the village, Qiu Zhen even ran across the street to tell Zhao Yan.

After hearing this, Zhao Yan smiled and said, "Okay, let's go to town together then."

So the next day, all the villagers of Huaihua Village set off, some in oxcarts and others in horse-drawn carriages, heading towards Shitou Town in a grand procession early in the morning.

Zhou Renbin had told Shen Yu about this a day earlier, so when they arrived at the destination, the tempting meal was already prepared.

Shen Yu specially designated an area in the lobby on the first floor for the villagers of Huaihua Village to use, and everyone chatted for a long time before finally leaving.

Although Qiu Zhen spent a lot of money on this, she didn't feel any heartache at all.

Her little granddaughter is so adorable, her full moon celebration should be a grand affair.

As for what the three daughters-in-law thought, Qiu Zhen figured if they had any objections, she would just give them more money.

As long as you have money, you don't have to worry about not being able to get things done.

During the meal, Zhao Yan and the others, along with Zhou Hu and his family, were all invited by Qiu Zhen to a private room on the second floor.

Dou Xingyan sat right next to Zhao Yan, but Zhao Yan noticed that she didn't have a good appetite today.

Zhao Yan asked in a low voice, "Xingyan, what's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"

Dou Xingyan covered her mouth and shook her head, saying, "Sister Zhao, I'm fine. I probably ate too much greasy food yesterday, and the smell of braised pork makes me want to vomit today."

She has been spending the last few days with Shen Yu at the restaurant, and not just yesterday, but she has been eating a lot of meat in the past few days.

She was fine yesterday, but her stomach started feeling uncomfortable early this morning.

Zhao Yan's eyes flickered slightly. After thinking for a moment, she whispered to Dou Xingyan, "If you're not feeling well, eat less. Don't leave after this is over. Let Uncle Yuan check your pulse to see how you are doing."

Dou Xingyan nodded and replied, "Mm."

After finishing their meal, Qiu Zhen, Zhou Hu, and the others went back first.

Zhao Yan, Yuan Yutang, and the others were invited to a private room next door to sit down and have some tea before leaving.

At this moment, Zhao Yan pulled Dou Xingyan to Yuan Yutang.

"Uncle Yuan, look what's wrong with Xingyan? She kept saying she felt nauseous while we were eating."

Upon hearing this, Yuan Yutang gently put down his teacup, then beckoned Dou Xingyan to sit down opposite him, and began to take her pulse.

After a long while, he withdrew his finger, stroked his beard, and said with a smile, "If I'm not mistaken, Xingyan is pregnant. However, it's still early, so we need to observe her for a few more days."

Dou Xingyan was completely stunned after hearing this.

"Yes, yes?"

How can it be?

She never imagined she would have a child so soon.

She knows her own body best. She has been in poor health since childhood, and she even thought she would have difficulty conceiving.

I never expected it to happen like this.

Isn't this all so surreal?

Upon hearing this, Shen Yu rushed over excitedly, his eyes fixed intently on Dou Xingyan.

"Xingyan, you...we..."

His mind went blank, and he didn't know what to say.

After experiencing the loss of his family, he once thought that this was the end of his life.

Unexpectedly, he now not only has the woman he loves, but she also has his child. How could he not be excited!

Zhao Yan smiled and cupped her hands in greeting to the two of them: "Congratulations to you both! Your family should be welcoming a new member by this time next year, hehe."

Yang Sanlang then said, "Brother Shen, this is a big deal, we should tell Brother Dou about it."

Shen Yu then realized what was happening.

"Yes, yes, I will write a letter to my elder brother and have it sent to the capital."

My older brother will be happy to hear that Xingyan is pregnant.
