Chapter 790: Chapter 796 No Sparks Flying? _1
Qiao Duo’er quickly finished a bowl and touched her belly with satisfaction, feeling very happy to be full.
Er Ya’s small paws also carefully touched Qiao Duo’er’s belly, her eyes brimming with curiosity.
"Auntie Four, do you know if the baby in your belly is a brother or a sister?"
"We’ll only know after the baby is born. Which one do you prefer?" Qiao Duo’er asked.
Er Ya said without hesitation, "I like them all as long as Auntie Four gives birth to them!"
"Right, if it’s a boy, he will definitely be handsome and gallant like Uncle Four, and if it’s a girl, she will be as pretty and smart as Auntie Four," Da Ya nodded assertively.
She and Er Ya were both saved by Auntie Four, so whether the baby was a boy or a girl, she would protect him with her whole life.
That was what she ought to do.
Qiao Duo’er smiled, her eyes crinkling. She didn’t care about the gender of the baby either, as long as it was safe and healthy.
It would be even better if the baby was as sweet as Da Ya and Er Ya.
"There’s still a lot left, you two should eat as well."
Qiao Duo’er suddenly realized that she was the only one eating happily, while the two children just watched.
Since becoming pregnant, she had developed a bad habit of being protective over her food, which she needed to change.
Both Da Ya and Er Ya shook their heads, "We’re going out to play for a while!"
After saying that, the two girls quickly ran outside. They couldn’t eat the food that was meant to nourish Auntie Four.
Once the girls had left, something suddenly occurred to Hu’s Clan.
"Next month is Second Dog’s birthday, and I was thinking of buying him a gift, but I don’t know what would be good. Help me think of an idea," she said.
All she could think of was to make some clothing or buy some snacks, nothing innovative.
But Qiao Duo, being clever and peculiar, would surely have a different approach.
After pondering for a moment, Qiao Duo said, "I heard Aunt Huang say she wanted to send Second Dog to a private school. You can give him a set of writing brushes, ink, paper, and inkstone, and buy Big Dog a couple of books with outlined characters to practice writing. This way, you keep things fair and balanced."
"You’re the smart one, I’ll buy a set for Da Ya and Er Ya as well," Hu’s Clan decided, determined to let the two girls learn to read too and not remain illiterate like her.
Speaking of the Puppy brothers, Qiao Duo couldn’t help but think of the honest and straightforward Huang Zhong.
She asked with curiosity, "Sister Lan, how have things been with you and Brother Zhong lately?"
Aunt Huang had long been planning to have the two get married, but there hadn’t been any substantial progress for a long time.
"How else? Same as before," Hu’s Clan said uneasily.
Now Huang Zhong helped her with the braised meat, accompanying her to town to sell it, but that was all.
They could probably be considered friends.
Qiao Duo rested her chin on her hand, "You two are together all the time, haven’t any sparks flown? I clearly see that Brother Zhong is interested in you."
Hu’s Clan wasn’t completely unfeeling towards Huang Zhong; they were supposed to naturally come together.
What exactly was the problem?
"Having the two girls in my life is enough," Hu’s Clan said softly, avoiding eye contact. She couldn’t muster the energy to think about anything else.
"You’ll miss out on some things once you miss the opportunity. You must grasp it well," Qiao Duo reminded her.
Hu’s Clan nodded, "I know, I’m going back first."
She fled in embarrassment, aware that she was a coward. Having been hurt before, she didn’t dare to try again, and Brother Zhong was probably the same.
So it wasn’t that they weren’t suitable for each other, but rather that they hadn’t met each other earlier.
Now that they both had married and been hurt before, their mindsets had already changed.
Qiao Duo sighed, seeing Hu’s Clan’s reaction and knowing it would still be a long wait.
