Rebirth Must Be Happy

Chapter 409 [398] Giving Red Envelopes to Grandchildren (Third Update)
What should have been a two- or three-hour hike took the group four hours to complete. They were all hot, tired, and hungry, so after a brief discussion, they went to eat hamburgers and drink cola nearby.

Are you Chen Xingruo and Chen Xingzhu?

There were many young people here, and Chen Xingzhu and Chen Xingruo had only been sitting down for a short while and hadn't even had a chance to rest when they were recognized.

Then more people turned to look. Two girls were wearing headphones and watching The Voice of China on their phones. One of them was watching Chen Xingruo's part when she turned around and saw the two sisters. She was so shocked by the feeling of breaking down the fourth wall that her eyes widened and she was speechless for a long time.

Chen Xingruo waved with a smile, then continued waiting for her hamburger. When someone wanted to take a picture, she posed for a photo with them without hesitation.

"You're the older sister, right?"

Chen Xingruo was taking a photo with someone when another girl walked over to Chen Xingzhu, looked her up and down with great curiosity, and then asked, "Can I take a photo with you?"

Chen Xingzhu shook his head slightly and said, "Xingruo will be ready soon."

The girl said, "You two look alike, so taking a photo with you is the same as taking a photo with her..."

"puff!"

Chen Xingruo, who was posing next to her, couldn't help but burst out laughing, "Okay, sister, you can just take photos with people for me from now on, it's all the same anyway..."

Chen Xingzhu glared at her but didn't reply.

The two sisters look alike, but their temperaments are completely different. Chen Xingruo is lively and cheerful, while Chen Xingzhu, even when she doesn't have a serious face, has a more aloof and refined temperament. The difference is not obvious when the two sisters are apart, but it becomes more obvious when they stand together.

Of course, this is under the condition that they are not pretending and are interacting with people. Otherwise, if the difference in their clothing is not known beforehand, it would be difficult to tell them apart if they wanted to impersonate each other with a little disguise.

Seeing that Chen Xingzhu refused, the girl who had asked to take a picture felt a little embarrassed and quickly apologized before going to take a picture with Chen Xingruo.

"Has Xingruo really become a star?"

Xu Haiguang and Song Xiaohui both found it quite amazing. Song Xiaohui even took a picture of someone asking Chen Xingruo to take a photo, feeling that it was even more worth recording.

"Eat, eat."

Xu Jinhuan and Xie Wanqing returned with their food and quickly ate. Chen Xingruo stopped taking photos with others.

"Sister Xingzhu, you'll have to wear a name tag when you go out from now on,"

While eating, Song Zhiyu couldn't help but joke, "It just says 'I am not Chen Xingruo' on it, and it would be better to add 'I don't pretend to be Chen Xingruo to take pictures', hehehe..."

As she spoke, she laughed, and Chen Xingyu chuckled along. Seeing him laugh, Song Zhiyu became even happier, laughing uncontrollably. Then Chen Xingyu continued to laugh, as if they were forming a perpetual motion machine.

"Ah~"

Xie Wanqing smiled and shook her head, saying softly, "You really know how to play with kids..."

Song Zhiyu could tell that she was laughing at her for being childish. She wanted to argue back, but she couldn't stop laughing, so she didn't bother to take it seriously.

"I hope I'll become that popular someday."

After her initial excitement subsided, Chen Xingruo sighed, looking somewhat dejected. "Keep trying... I wonder if I can become famous?" After finishing their meal, they were supposed to go back to sleep, but Song Zhiyu suggested going to Peking University. Upon hearing that it was where their son would be studying, their parents were no longer sleepy and wanted to go in the afternoon, so they set off immediately.

On the way, her parents were sleeping. Chen Xingzhu stayed up for a while to keep Xu Jinhuan company, but she was also sleepy. So Xu Jinhuan told her to sleep too, and he forced himself to stay awake and followed the chauffeur all the way to Peking University.

Nowadays, most universities in China are open to the public. The group went in for a stroll, took a lot of photos, and then went home.

After dinner, there were no other activities planned. Taking advantage of her time off work, Xu Jinhuan led her parents for a stroll around the company, then went home to chat before going to bed early, preparing to get up in the early hours of the morning to watch the flag-raising ceremony.

Xu Jinhuan originally wanted to sneak over and ambush Sister Xie in the middle of the night, but she was too tired and fell asleep as soon as she lay down on the bed. She felt like she was woken up by the alarm clock as soon as she closed her eyes. She got up in a daze, changed her clothes, and sent messages to Chen Xingzhu and the others before heading to Tiananmen Square.

"That's too much trouble. You two have already seen it. You can just stay home and sleep..."

Chen Xingyu didn't come this time. When they arrived at Tiananmen Square and saw that the Chen Xingzhu and Chen Xingruo sisters looked sleepy, Xu Haiguang and Song Xiaohui felt a little guilty and said, "You don't need to stay with them. Go do what you need to do and don't delay your business."

"fine."

Chen Xingzhu didn't feel that their words were meant to distance them from her. She knew they were just being considerate and didn't mind. She smiled faintly and said, "We don't have anything to do anymore, so we can sleep all day."

"I can't, I still need to go to training camp to participate in the competition."

Chen Xingruo said with a grin, "But I'm more willing to play with my uncle and aunt than with my dad. It's much more fun, they don't spoil the fun, they don't put on airs, and they don't like to lecture people..."

Suddenly, she had a bright idea and said with a smile, "Uncle, Auntie, my sister will definitely call you Mom and Dad in the future, so can I call you Mom and Dad too?"

Chen Xingzhu blushed slightly and pinched her younger sister, Chen Xingruo, who dodged while laughing, "That's just how it is..."

Although Song Xiaohui and Xu Haiguang have been having fun these past two days, they have been worrying a lot about the affairs of several people behind the scenes. They are quite troubled, but they have also come up with some basic principles.

Hearing Chen Xingruo say this, Song Xiaohui laughed and said, "That's great! His dad and I have been saying for a long time that we wanted a daughter. Girls are so wonderful, like a warm cotton-padded jacket, they're so caring... It would be so nice if you all called me Mom!"

Song Zhiyu was completely unconcerned about this topic, feeling fearless. Xie Wanqing, however, was a bit sensitive. Hearing Song Xiaohui's answer, especially noticing that she glanced at her while speaking, she naturally understood the implication. Her cheeks flushed, and she felt a little embarrassed. However, she didn't look away but met Song Xiaohui's smiling eyes with a shy smile, and then subconsciously looked at Xu Jinhuan.

Xu Jinhuan was also glancing at them, their eyes met briefly, and they didn't say a word.

"Auntie, are you so greedy?"

Seeing that everyone was silent, Song Zhiyu broke the silence with a joke, "When we wish you a Happy New Year together, you'll be giving out a ton of red envelopes... Now that you're calling me 'Mom,' you'll have to give out even more red envelopes, right?"

Xu Haiguang and Song Xiaohui also prepared red envelopes for the Spring Festival this year. After all, their family was already well-off, and they were quite generous with their money. Song Zhiyu gave 300 yuan, and Chen Xingzhu and Xie Wanqing gave 200 yuan each.

This is quite a lot for the two of them. Xu Jinhuan used to receive 20 or 50 yuan in New Year's money, and 100 yuan was very rare.

"It's okay, send more!"

As the situation gradually became clearer, Song Xiaohui knew that her son's life wouldn't be easy, and that there would be many hardships ahead, both now and in between. But at least the future was bright, and she immediately started planning how many grandchildren she wanted. She cheerfully said, "We'll give out lots of red envelopes from now on..."

Xu Haiguang didn't want to say much, and being naturally more reserved, he simply smiled and said, "As long as you're happy."
