Spring Breeze Twenty Years

Chapter 471 Twins

Chen Xiao was wearing a long dress today and said from quite a distance, "Why are you guys up so early? Didn't you say nine o'clock?"

Xiao Hong gritted her teeth and said, "You told me yesterday to get up early, so I got up at seven o'clock, you pig, you two pigs."

Geng Hui said, "You can't be cold wearing this, can you? Don't catch a chill." Northeastern girls can only wear skirts in July, so they can wear them for two months.

Chen Xiao said, "This is more convenient. My pants keep falling down because I'm always moving around. I'm wearing something underneath. Besides, we're going out to play, so I can't get cold."

Xiao Hong said, "We're going to the water cave. It's several kilometers long, and you just sit on a boat to see it. I heard you have to rent a military overcoat to wear, otherwise you can't stand it." Chen Xiao was taken aback and asked, "How do you know? Haven't you ever been there?"

Xiaohong said, "My parents have both been there. They just told me from upstairs."

Chen Xiao looked down at herself and said, "Never mind, I'll change after I finish eating. I thought this would be more convenient. It's so rare to be able to wear a skirt."

Geng Hui touched her belly and said, "I even asked my mom to make me overalls. She can make them from old jeans or something else and alter them so they won't fall off when I hang them on my shoulders. Otherwise, it would be too awkward and too much trouble to go out."

Chen Xiao said, "I know now, but it's too late. Luckily, I can still wear skirts for the last two months. They're cool and I don't have to worry about them falling off. It's also convenient to go to the toilet. You're only at the beginning. Just wait and see what it'll be like when it gets cool in the fall. You'll be peeing twenty times a day. I feel like all I do all day is take my pants off and put them on. Sometimes I just want to just stop wearing them and stay naked at home."

Xiao Hong said, "Stop babbling and hurry up and go inside to eat. We've been waiting for you two for ages, and you're still here bragging."

Chen Xiao glared at Xiao Hong and said, "I wish you twins. You're such a jerk." Then she went inside with Chen Hui to eat.

Xiao Hong sat there stunned for a moment, then chuckled and said, "Twins? Twins would be so great! I wish I could really have twins."

Xiao Wei glanced at her helplessly and said, "She's cursing you to suffer twice as much. Where are you going to get pregnant with twins? Why don't you try dating someone else?"

Xiao Hong thought for a moment and asked, "Why can't I have twins? My classmate's brother has twins, and he shows me pictures of them all the time. They're so cute, didn't you see?"

Xia Maosheng asked, "Is your classmate a twin?"

Xiao Hong shook her head and said, "No, that's why it would be a surprise if there were twins."

Xia Maosheng nodded and asked again, "Does your classmate's sister-in-law have twins?"

Xiaohong thought for a moment and shook her head, saying, "No, why? My classmate has three kids: two in her sister-in-law's family and a younger brother. What's wrong?"

Xia Maosheng glanced at Xiao Wei, who smiled and turned to look into the distance.

Xiao Hong poked Xiao Wei with her finger: "What are you laughing at? What's wrong?"

Geng Hui said, "Neither of our families has the gene for twins, so it's impossible for us to have twins. This can only be inherited."

Xiao Hong said, "What's wrong? Uh, huh?" She froze, then her face twitched, and she felt terrible.

Xiao Wei said, "So if you're really pregnant with twins, then there's something fishy going on."

Xiao Hong asked curiously, "Really? Then how did her sister-in-law get pregnant?"

Xia Maosheng chuckled and said, "Ask your classmate if any of her brother's upstairs or downstairs coworkers have twins."

Xiao Hong finally understood, punched Xiao Wei lightly, and said with a pained expression, "No way? What, what's going on? Their whole family is so happy, won't this lead to someone getting killed?"

Xia Maosheng lit a cigarette and said with a smile, "That just shows how bold these twins are, hehehe."

Xiao Hong said, "It's right downstairs from his brother's house. My classmate has mentioned it several times, saying she envied his family for having twins. Now that her family has twins too, she's told us about it several times."

Xiao Wei said quietly, "He's a true hero for staying here without moving. Now we'll just have to wait and see who the child takes after when he grows up."

Xia Maosheng burst into laughter, Xiao Hong looked conflicted, and Xiao Wei glared at her and said, "Don't talk nonsense, this isn't the time to be a good person."

Xiao Hong rested her head on Xiao Wei and said, "Then why are you telling me this? You know I can't hold back. How am I supposed to talk to her after this? Every time I see her, I'll be reminded of this. We're actually on pretty good terms."

Xiao Wei said, "There are books about genetics in the library, right? You can take one sometime and just casually let her look at it."

Xiao Hong thought for a moment and nodded, saying, "Okay, if I keep cheating like this, I'll get sick. Why are people so mean these days?"

Xiao Wei shook his head and said, "This thing isn't really good or bad; it's hard to say."

Xia Maosheng said, "In our office building, there was a guy in the logistics department who had been having an affair with a woman for nine years, and nobody knew. This year, when they were celebrating their ninth anniversary together, they were watching a Japanese video with the sound turned up, and the neighbors reported it. The police came and kicked down the door, and this guy jumped from the seventh floor. He didn't die, but he suffered a comminuted fracture of his pelvis."

Geng Hui said, "This is terrible. I'd rather be dead. My job is gone, my family is gone, several families are gone."

Xia Maosheng took a puff of his cigarette and said, "There's nothing wrong with the work. It's just a reprimand. There's no chance of promotion in the future. I can just get by until retirement. The company doesn't handle this as strictly as it used to."

Her lover got divorced. I heard he almost beat her to death, and the child doesn't recognize her anymore. Nobody knows where she went; she just left all by herself.

He himself is fine, but his wife cried for days and became extremely haggard. However, they did not divorce. He is still in the hospital, and his wife is taking care of him every day. I heard from others that his mother knelt down before his wife in the hospital. His wife and mother have a very good relationship.

Now his son won't talk to him, never visits him in the hospital, and his father has fallen ill from anger, telling others that his son is dead. Who knows what will happen when he's discharged? It's going to be a difficult situation.

Xiao Wei said, "No matter what, these families are doomed. His parents will probably have to walk with their heads down from now on. People have to be able to control themselves at all times. They have to know what they can and cannot do. There are no secrets in this world. Men have to be upright and honest."

Xiao Hong tugged at Xiao Wei's sleeve and said, "If you're going to date someone in the future, tell me in advance. Don't wait until I find out myself; it's too much of a blow, and I definitely can't handle it."

Xiao Wei glared at Xiao Hong and said, "You have no self-control when it comes to your mouth, you blurt out whatever comes to mind."

Xiao Hong asked, "Do you think you'll be interested in other women in the future?"

Xiao Wei thought for a moment and said, "You can't say that. There are many good-looking people out there. Who can say for sure? Can a person control their poop and pee? Maybe one day you'll suddenly find someone you like."

Xiao Hong pouted and pinched Xiao Wei. Xiao Wei said, "I'm just telling the truth. No one can control their own thoughts. Do you think heroes aren't afraid before they die? Or that gentlemen don't have any other thoughts when it comes to money? The key is whether you can control yourself and know what you can and can't do."

Xiao Hong thought for a moment, nodded, and said, "What you said seems to make some sense. Okay, you've passed."

Geng Hui said, "Xiao Wei makes a good point."
