Cui Liu smiled and said, "Mom, please go and call my uncle. I'll cook." Then she went into the kitchen.

Fang Qingge said to the twins in the bamboo cart:

"Da Ya and Er Ya, call me uncle."

The two chubby children stood up all of a sudden, holding onto the bicycle handles with their little hands. Their legs thumped as they stood upright, and they shouted sweetly with their little mouths:

"Uncle...Uncle...Uncle..."

Shen Wenzhi responded to his little niece happily.

"Oh my? Daya and Daya can both call me uncle? Can they walk too?!"

Although the two children who were praised didn't know what their uncle meant, they saw that his smile was genuine.

"Hehehe..." the two children burst into laughter.

*

Aunt Yu came over with a kettle and said with a smile,

"You rascal, you haven't been home for a while. The two girls would have called for help. You can't even walk. Come on, go inside and have a rest."

Fang Qingge also smiled and said:

"Brother, can you please come in and have some water and rest?"

After saying that, he turned around and coaxed the two children to stop their silly laughter.

*

Due to the heavy workload, Shen Wenzhi had not been home for some time.

He nodded in response and glanced at Fang Qingge's suddenly bigger belly.

His handsome fair face turned slightly red for a moment, and when he realized what was happening, he hurriedly lowered his head to cover it up.

He took out three small rattles from his school bag and handed one to Fang Qingge first.

"Little sister, this is a gift I bought in advance for my nephew. Please keep it for him first."

Aunt Yu, who was making tea in the main room, heard this and came out, saying angrily:

"Your little nephew hasn't been born yet!"

"Mom, I want to treat everyone equally! Whatever the eldest and second daughters have, my little nephew must have it too."

Shen Wenzhi blushed and turned to the twins and said:

"Da Ya and Er Ya, do you like the rattles that your uncle bought for you?"

The twins nodded happily, stretched out their little hands and started shouting again.

"I want...uncle...uncle...to play..."

"Haha, Daya and Erya are awesome."

"Hehehe" the two children burst into laughter again.

*

Aunt Yu listened to the laughter in the yard and said with a smile,

"Zhi'er, it looks like you need to make up for it again."

"What?"

Aunt Yu glanced at Fang Qingge's belly and smiled so hard that her teeth were showing.

"Your sister is also a twin."

Shen Wenzhi was stunned for a moment, then said to Fang Qingge happily:

"Little sister, I will definitely buy another one next time. Not one less."

After saying that, he smiled and quickly walked into the main room.

**

Today's lunch was very sumptuous. There were three dishes on the table, one was stir-fried shredded radish, one was stewed with cabbage and pork slices, and one was scrambled eggs with green onions.

Of course, with Fang Qingge's supervision and the money she gave, Aunt Yu really kept her promise and stopped being stingy.

The whole family enjoyed the meal, and even the two children had their mouths filled with scrambled eggs.

"Mother, you should eat more meat dishes at home on weekdays. Don't make two more just because I'm back. I'll give you the money for writing the storybook later."

Seeing her youngest son wolfing down his food with satisfaction, Aunt Yu was also happy in her heart and said hurriedly,

"Zhi'er, you keep it! Mother doesn't want it. Qingge gave me a lot of silver, and I have money now!

Don't worry about the food! For Qingge and Daya and Erya's small bodies, mother will also make some delicious food.

It’s not easy for you to earn this money, so keep it for yourself.”

"Mom...this is for the family, you keep it. I've left mine behind."

Shen Wenzhi was afraid that his mother would not accept it, so he quickly put down his bowl, took out a purse from his bag and handed it to his mother with both hands.

"Okay, put it away for yourself and buy more paper, ink and other things. Now that we have Qingge's support, we can eat as well as we do during Chinese New Year every day!"

Aunt Yu pushed the purse back to her youngest son, with a proud and satisfied smile on her face.

*

Fang Qingge looked up and saw the young man holding a purse in his hand. He looked helpless and started to laugh.

Suddenly, he asked in confusion:

"Eh? Little brother, I haven't told you a new story in this period of time? Have you started writing a storybook yourself?"

In her eyes, anyone who can write a book that is popular with everyone and sells well is amazing.

*

Shen Wenzhi said embarrassedly after hearing this.

"Little sister, thank you for giving me the confidence and ideas to write a book. I will take the time to write a storybook as a break."

"Yeah? Mom, sister-in-law, do you think this little brother is very powerful?"

Cui Liu was feeding the twins and nodded rapidly:

"Of course, my uncle is going to be a high-ranking official in the future!"

Aunt Yu also smiled and nodded in response:

"Well, your little brother has been smart since he was young. But, Zhier, mother doesn't understand these things either. As long as it doesn't interfere with his studies, it's fine."

"Don't worry, mother. There is no conflict between studying and writing books. I know your son well."

"Haha...that's good, that's good."

The mother and her friends were chatting animatedly at the dinner table. How could farmers not talk while eating or sleeping?

*

Even in the afternoon, a small incident occurred.

Xiumei suddenly called out to Shen Wenzhi while standing at the gate.

"Brother Wenzhi, Brother Wenzhi, my wheelbarrow has fallen over at the door of your house. Could you please come out and help me pick it up?"

Aunt Yu in the room heard this and shouted:

"Zhi'er, go to the door and help Xiumei."

"Hey! I got it, mother."

Shen Wenzhi, who didn't understand what was going on, responded and went out, followed closely by Fang Qingge who was hiding behind the door.

Inside the house, Aunt Yu said to Cui Liu, who was playing with the child:

"How did Xiumei know that Zhier had returned home?"

"Mom, maybe I saw him on the road!"

*

outside the gate,

Xiumei blushed as she watched Shen Wenzhi pick up the wheelbarrow that was full of firewood and had fallen to the ground.

He quickly took out a new purse from his sleeve pocket and handed it over with trembling hands, mustering up the courage to confess:

"Brother Wenzhi, I embroidered this purse. Can I ask my mother to go to your house to propose marriage?"

Shen Wenzhi was stunned for a moment, then immediately understood what she meant and decisively refused:

"Xiumei, don't do such private things in the future. It will damage your reputation as a girl. Besides, I don't have any feelings for you. I'm going back."

When Xiumei heard this, she stamped her feet fiercely, anxiously but still concerned about her reputation, she lowered her voice and shouted:

"Brother Wenzhi, stop right there! What's wrong with me? Can't I change? I just like you..."

Shen Wenzhi ignored what she said. He walked into the room without stopping and unexpectedly bumped into Fang Qingge who was hiding behind the door.

"Are you okay, little sister?"

His face flushed anxiously.

"Hehehe... I'm fine, little brother."

Fang Qingge, who was caught, walked out with a silly smile.

Shen Wenzhi saw that she was fine, said, "Go back!", and then strode into the yard first.

*

Xiumei, who was standing there in a daze, immediately saw Fang Qingge sticking her head out. The pair of resentful eyes made Fang Qingge shudder all over. She explained inexplicably:

"I didn't say that."

"Fang Qingge, you just can't stand seeing me doing well!"

Xiumei suddenly uttered these harsh words with gritted teeth, wiped away the tears that were welling up in her eyes, pushed the heavy wheelbarrow and went home angrily.

Fang Qingge sighed inwardly and felt a little depressed.

It seems that their friendship has capsized.
