Although Zhou's father didn't say anything, he took out a property certificate and handed it to Zhou Huaijin: "This is for your wedding house. Your house doesn't even have a yard. How will the child play in the future?"

It was a courtyard house not far from the old house, which was also the old house left by the Zhou family.

Zhou Huaijin smiled and said, "Thank you, Dad."

Ye Zhenzhen stood to the side, looking at the deep red property certificate, and silently sighed in her heart, "Having children really is valuable."

No wonder so many female celebrities who marry into wealthy families are busy having children.

Zhou's mother hurried over: "Quickly, let Grandma see your two treasures."

She took the child from him, then glared at Zhou's father, "Keep a stern face or you'll scare the child."

"Where did I put on a stern face?" Zhou's father muttered innocently, but his eyes were still fixed on the two little ones, and his lips never fell into a smile.

The two little ones lay on the bed, kicking their legs happily and waving their little fists in the air. Yi Huan and Yi Cheng jumped and clapped their hands beside them, and the house suddenly became as lively as if it were Chinese New Year.

The full moon celebration was held in a banquet hall not far from the old house. Many people came, including relatives and friends of the Zhou family, the mother-in-law's Jiang family, and Zhou Huaijin's friends.

The fact that Chen Yu came with Lin Zhi instantly ignited Ye Zhenzhen's gossip-loving spirit.

Ye Zhenzhen only showed herself once before taking Lin Zhi home to see the children.

The child is too young to be in crowded places, for fear of catching some bacteria.

Lin Zhi had originally planned to visit her during her postpartum period, but when she thought about how her best friend had just given birth and was still weak, and how there were so many people at home, she decided not to disturb her and waited for the full moon.

As soon as Lin Zhi entered the room, he went to the crib and took out two large red envelopes.

"Quickly, let my godmother take a look!"

When she saw the two chubby, pink babies on the bed, her voice changed.

"Oh my god, this is so cute!"

"Ye Zhenzhen, you're so good at having children, it's absolutely adorable."

"Those big eyes, those long eyelashes, how can they be so beautiful?"

Ye Zhenzhen leaned against the headboard and smiled: "Zhizhi, you and President Chen are together?"

"What do you mean, 'together'? I don't understand." Lin Zhi deliberately dodged the question.

"Oh, stop pretending. Mr. Chen is getting on in years. You two should hurry up and have a baby. Then we can become in-laws."

"With your genes, your child is sure to be beautiful. It's good to keep the good stuff in the family."

Lin Zhi teased her, "How could I possibly have your ability? Two at once, and twins at that."

He couldn't resist leaning over and touching Xiao Jinshu's face.

The chef at the old house specially prepared a meal for Ye Zhenzhen, and it tasted exceptionally good.

She was eating when Zhou Huaijin and her mother returned.

"Are you done with your work over there?"

"Yes, most of the guests have left." Zhou Huaijin glanced at the child and then sat down next to her.

Several relatives wanted to visit the child, but Zhou's mother turned them away, saying, "The child has a weak immune system; we should wait until he's older."

She glanced at Ye Zhenzhen, who was drinking soup, and then reminded her, "Zhenzhen, you had a C-section, so you'll need to rest for another month after giving birth."

Ye Zhenzhen nearly dropped the spoon in her hand, feeling like the sky was falling: "You still want to sit?"

"After all, you've had surgery, so you need to take good care of yourself, otherwise you'll develop health problems later."

"However, there are also advantages to C-sections. Many women who have vaginal births experience tearing, loosening of the vagina, and various postpartum complications."

Ye Zhenzhen thought about it and felt quite fortunate. She had almost no aftereffects, her incision healed well, and she didn't feel anything wrong with her body.

Perhaps the doctor was indeed very skilled, or perhaps she was just lucky.

Looking back on childbirth, it wasn't as scary as she had imagined, and the pain was within a tolerable range. Having a son and a daughter was well worth it.

After the lively full-moon celebration in Beijing, the family of four rushed back to Nanjing. They also had a celebration for their parents, hosting a large banquet with over a dozen tables for relatives and friends from the village.

Nestled against the mountains and beside the water, Nanjing is much cooler than the city. The wind blows in from the other side of the mountain, carrying the fragrance of grass and trees and the moisture of the stream. Ye Zhenzhen hadn't been back for a long time. She took a walk around the courtyard of her old home, and even breathing felt much easier.

Mother Ye reminded her, "Don't eat anything indiscriminately. You still need to rest during your postpartum period. Don't think you can do whatever you want just because you're over a month old."

She agreed verbally, but while her mother turned around, she slipped out the door and strolled slowly along the old street she had walked for more than twenty years.

They found that all the shops on the street were closed, with their shutters pulled up tightly.

Mr. Ye said from the side, "This area is going to be demolished. Nanjing is developing faster and faster. I heard that a shopping mall is going to be built on this land."

Ye Zhenzhen's ears perked up immediately: "Oh, how much compensation will we have to pay?"

"The developer is giving us a 200-square-meter apartment, plus compensation, which is said to be four or five million yuan."

Ye Zhenzhen didn't react for a moment and remained stunned for quite a while.

So I've become a second-generation demolition beneficiary?

Zhou Huaijin stayed in Nanjing for one day and then left.

There are still many things to do in the city. Although he has tried his best to reduce his work to be handled at home, his position means he has to attend meetings and handle official business every day, which he can neither refuse nor stop.

As he left, he stood at the door, turned back to look at his wife and children, his eyes filled with reluctance.

He wanted to take them back, but Ye Zhenzhen wanted to stay, and his parents-in-law also adored the child, so he couldn't object.

Ye Zhenzhen hugged him and smiled sweetly: "Old Zhou, drive carefully. The baby and I will miss you."

Ye Zhenzhen didn't want to go back; she wanted to stay home a few more days. If the house in Bin City was really demolished, this old house would be gone. No matter how big or nice the house was in Bin City, it wouldn't be as comfortable as the little bed she had slept in since she was a child.

The Ye family's restaurant has also closed down. Now the elderly couple are focused on taking care of their child and cooking delicious meals for their daughter.

Ye's mother would get up before dawn to cook soup, and Ye's father would go to the countryside every day to catch free-range chickens and buy vegetables. They were even busier than when they ran the shop.

Ye Zhenzhen, on the other hand, was quite carefree, often strolling around the doorway whenever she had free time. She knew exactly where the best food was in her hometown and which family's snacks were the most authentic. She wished she could try all the flavors she had grown up with.

The mother was playing with her child in the yard, while the father was picking vegetables nearby. Occasionally, the sounds of crying and soothing the child could be heard. The yard was filled with a lively and cheerful atmosphere. She sat on the doorstep, biting into a freshly picked peach, and felt as if she had returned to her childhood.

In contrast, Zhou Huaijin suddenly became all alone.

I go to work during the day and come home at night. The living room is filled with the child's toys and baby supplies, but there is no sound of the child crying or her chattering.

Only Xiao Zhou was squatting at the door, meowing and circling around his feet. The quiet inside made him feel uneasy.

After only two days, he couldn't help but ask Ye Zhenzhen, "Why aren't you home yet?"

Ye Zhenzhen said on the other end of the line, "I've only been here for two days."

Two days later, he asked again, "Shouldn't you be back by now?"

Ye Zhenzhen said angrily, "Marrying you doesn't mean I'm selling myself to your family. What's wrong with me staying at my parents' house for a few days? Humph!"

Zhou Huaijin was silent for a few seconds on the other end of the line before hanging up. The next day after get off work, he drove straight to Nanjing.

If she doesn't come back, he'll go back.
