Chapter 1015: 1000, Scenic Grandpaâs Sweetheart Side Story (5) Chapter 1015: 1000, Scenic Grandpaâs Sweetheart Side Story (5) âLittle Qingqing, from now on you must take good care of yourself. Mom promises to nourish you until youâre plump and fair. Starting tomorrow, Iâll stew tonic soups for you every day.â Rhee said with a giggling smile.
âMom, thereâs no need for such heavy nourishment, tonics once every few days will be enough.â The last pregnancy had left her haunted by the surfeit of tonics well into her break.
Rhee said, âHow can that be enough? Youâre so thin, you need proper nourishment.â
âThatâs right, you must nourish yourself well in the early stages of pregnancy, just tell us whatever you want to eat,â Madam Quan added.
âSister-in-law, youâve become a national treasure,â Quan Yifei teased.
Quan Mingxuan pinched nineteenâs little face and said with a smile, âSeventeen, nineteen, you now have a little sister.â
âDaddy, really?â Seventeen looked up at Quan Jingwu with eyes similarly bright as Jian Qingâs, shining brightly at him.
Quan Jingwu nodded, âHmm, your little sister has come to our family.â
âWhen will we be able to see our little sister?â Nineteen ran over, his face alight with excitement.
âYouâll have to wait more than eight months, Seventeen and Nineteen. You have to be patient,â Jian Qing said with a smile as she stroked the little heads of the two treasures.
âYour little sister is in mommyâs belly. She will grow slowly, and when the time comes, she will come out to play with you.â
Over eight months, thatâs so long!
The two little treasures frowned, and Nineteen curiously stared at Jian Qingâs stomach before innocently asking, âMommy, your belly is so small, wonât little sister feel too cramped inside?â
âHahaha!â
At these words, everyone burst out laughing.
Nineteen scratched his head, a blank expression on his face from being laughed at.
âNineteen, donât worry, your little sister is very comfortable in your mommyâs belly, she wonât be squeezed,â Weng Ya said, holding back laughter.
âI say, Jingwu, how can you be so sure itâs a little princess in there? What if itâs a little brother? I want to see how you explain that to Seventeen and them,â Quan Mingxuan said gleefully.
Before Quan Jingwu could react, Grandpa Quan had already jumped in. He stretched out his hand and knocked a bonk on his head.
âYou rascal, what nonsense are you talking? This time, itâs definitely a little princess.â
âGrandpa, you said the same thing last time,â Quan Mingxuan said, holding his head and sounding pitiful.
Grandpa Quan choked, âI⊠â
âSeventeen, if mommy gives birth to a brother, you wonât like it?â Quan Mingxuan asked mischievously, wrapping an arm around Seventeen.
âUncle, you are so silly, daddy already said itâs a little sister,â Seventeen said, having unshakeable faith in his daddyâs words.
Quan Mingxuan spat blood, he was silly?
They were just too easy to fool.
âDaddy, whatâs little sisterâs name?â Nineteen lay on Quan Jingwuâs knee, looking up curiously at Quan Jingwu.
Everyoneâs attention turned to Quan Jingwu in unison, curious about the answer as well.
Quan Jingwu lifted the corners of his mouth in a smile, âShanshan!â
âThe âShanshanâ that means shiny?â Quan Yifei asked.
He hummed in affirmation.
âWhy call her Shanshan?â Rhee was even more curious, wondering if there was a story behind it.
Jian Qing chuckled softly, satisfying everyoneâs curiosity, âBecause Shanshan is endearing!â
âGood, this pet name isnât bad,â Madam Quan laughed heartily.
The little princess of their Quan Family was born to be loved by them.
âTsk tsk, my teeth are about to sour from sweetness,â Quan Yifei amusingly covered his cheeks, teasingly said, âSister-in-law, did Third Brother come up with this nickname too?â
âMhm.â Jian Qing held Quan Jingwuâs hand, nodding her head, âHe had thought of it beforehand, never expecting our little cotton-padded jacket to turn into two little princes.â
Everyone glanced at Seventeen and Nineteen and smiled knowingly.
âMommy, is it okay if we stay home with you?â Seventeenâs eyes twinkled innocently as he looked at Jian Qing.
âMommy, weâll tell Shanshan stories, or sheâll get really bored,â Nineteen climbed onto Quan Jingwuâs lap, snuggling into his embrace.
Jian Qing saw through their little scheme at a glance, pinched their noses gently, âNo, you asked to go to kindergarten yourselves, so you canât just take a day off whenever you like.â
They hadnât planned on sending them to kindergarten so soon, but it was the kids who had insisted, mainly because they saw other kids carrying little backpacks in the park and got curious about attending kindergarten.
Seventeen and Nineteen let out a disappointed âahâ and hung their heads.
âDaddy!â Nineteen rubbed against Quan Jingwu, his milky voice elongating with a clearly wheedling intent.
Quan Jingwu curled his fingertip and flicked his forehead, âCalling daddy wonât work, mommy makes the call, and youâre going to school like a good boy.â
Nineteen let out an âahâ, âDaddy doesnât love me anymore!â
âHahaha!â
Their playful expressions had everyone laughing heartily.
After Jian Qing got pregnant, the two little treasures liked to cling to her as soon as they got home from school.
Every evening, just by passing by Quan Jingwuâs bedroom, one could hear the two little ones telling stories.
Jian Qing lay in bed, with Seventeen and Nineteen sitting one each side, animatedly recounting amusing stories from kindergarten.
âShanshan, brother has even brought you a gift today.â Nineteen suddenly hopped off the bed and ran back to his room with a thud-thud of his feet.
âSeventeen, would you like to touch your sister?â Jian Qing, seeing her son staring at her slightly protruding belly, smiled and beckoned his little hand.
âCan I?â Seventeenâs eyes brightened.
Daddy had said that their sister inside mommyâs belly was very fragile, and they couldnât let mommy carry them anymore, nor could they randomly touch mommyâs belly, lest they hurt the sister.
Jian Qing smiled and pulled his little hand to her belly, âOf course you can.â
âMommy, will Shanshan like me?â Seventeen tenderly touched Jian Qingâs belly, his eyes gleaming like black jewels with a hopeful light.
âDo you like Shanshan?â Jian Qingâs eyes and brows were filled with a smiling warmth as she gently asked in return.
Seventeen nodded emphatically, âI really, really like Shanshan.â
âThatâs right, and Shanshan will really, really like Seventeen too,â Jian Qing patiently explained to him.
Just then, Nineteen came back with his little backpack.
âNineteen, why are you bringing your backpack here?â
âFor the gift.â Nineteen tossed the little backpack onto the bed, then climbed up after it.
Seventeen looked at the little backpack, his crimson lips breaking into a knowing smile, clearly aware of what Nineteen was up to.
Nineteen grabbed the backpack, unzipped it, and roughly dumped out its contents.
Jian Qing saw a small pile of snacks on the bed and her mouth twitched.
âNineteen, where did you get these from?â
Could it be that the family had bought them?
âThese were gifts from kindergarten teachers and classmates to me and brother. Brother didnât want them, so I kept them all.â Nineteenâs eyes smiled brightly, his tone light and cheerful.
Jian Qing didnât know whether to marvel at her sonâs popularity or to note the cunning of the little fellow, âNineteen, havenât I told you not to just accept things from others?â
