Chapter 304: Chapter 304: Admitting Mistakes and Correcting Them is an Excellent Quality
Shen Qingqing and the others were staying in the hospital, and the old man was thinking about his great-grandsons, so he came to see them early.
"The people in the courtyard, knowing I suddenly have a great-grandson and a great-granddaughter, are so envious of me."
Sitting on a bench, hands on the crib, the old man spoke with pride on his face.
Shen Qingqing asked, "Has this news spread everywhere?"
"It has spread everywhere." The old man nodded, "I haven’t even left my house, and people came to ask. Their information is so up-to-date."
Shen Qingqing nodded.
Indeed, it’s very up-to-date.
She had the children at night, and barely any time had passed before people outside knew about it.
The spreading speed is truly impressive.
Jiang Zhixun looked smug, "These are twins—a boy and a girl—of course the news travels fast."
Calculating the time, it happened around his birthday.
His wife even doubted his abilities, but now, he proved himself with facts.
He gave Shen Qingqing a meaningful look.
Shen Qingqing failed to interpret it.
She didn’t know what he was trying to convey.
But Jiang Zhixun’s smugness was clear as day to her.
"Even Qin Wenqiang, who has three kids, isn’t as smug as you."
Jiang Zhixun: "I have twins—a boy and a girl—born at once. He had to do it three times."
Shen Qingqing: "He has three kids."
Jiang Zhixun: "I have twins."
Shen Qingqing: "..."
Not being able to outtalk him, she called for backup, "Grandpa, look at him, he only knows how to bicker."
The old man glared at Jiang Zhixun, "You have this mouth that causes trouble day and night, why not sew it shut."
Jiang Zhixun was already used to his treatment and cleared his throat, "I’m a father now, stop picking on me, or how will I manage to keep the little ones in check later?"
The old man snorted, "Just take care of yourself, and you want to control others, keep dreaming."
"I’m their father, in the future, they’ll be under my command."
The old man: "With that mouth, you’ll teach them bad things."
While speaking, he even covered the two little ones’ ears, whispering, "Don’t listen to his nonsense."
Jiang Zhixun shook his head and said to Shen Qingqing, "This is what’s truly spoiling the children."
It’s said that the bond skips a generation, and the old man’s affection has reached a whole new level, treating Xiao Man and Xiao Xi like treasures.
Jiang Zhixun felt this was indulging.
With so many elders doting on the kids, if he isn’t a little stricter, the two little ones would surely be spoiled.
Suddenly, Jiang Zhixun felt a lot of pressure.
Shen Qingqing secretly pinched her husband’s lean waist, smiling meaningfully, "With you as the strict father taking charge, any misbehavior is your dereliction of duty."
The old man nodded in agreement, "Educating children isn’t just Qingqing’s task; don’t think you can be an absentee father."
The process of a child’s growth relies equally on the roles of both father and mother.
Jiang Zhixun was busy with work and didn’t spend much time at home.
But he was prepared to devote all his spare time to his small family.
Just a moment ago, Shen Qingqing mentioned Qin Wenqiang, and soon after, he and his wife appeared in the hospital.
They brought apples, malted milk drinks, canned foods, and a bag of eggs for Shen Qingqing.
Madam Jiang: "It’s nice enough that you came, why bring so many things."
Qin Wenqiang teasingly looked at Jiang Zhixun, "Isn’t it because some people are almost thirty-five before having kids? I brought more to celebrate him."
At Jiang Zhixun’s age, many people’s children were already in primary school.
For those who married early, their kids might already be in junior high.
He was only just becoming a father for the first time, indeed lagging behind.
Madam Jiang laughed non-stop, "He’s not the one having the baby, what’s there to celebrate for him."
Qin Wenqiang: "The verbal blessings are for him, and the goodies for Qingqing, fair and square."
His wife joked, "Women endure a lot of hardships when giving birth; whether it’s verbal blessings or supplements, they should all go to Qingqing"
Qin Wenqiang had a crush on Shen Qingqing in his youth, but that was many years ago.
Now everyone had their own families and were doing well, so Qin Wenqiang’s wife didn’t want to make trouble.
If things escalated, Shen Qingqing and Jiang Zhixun’s life wouldn’t be affected.
But her and Qin Wenqiang’s home would definitely be broken.
She wouldn’t do something so foolish.
Besides, she also liked a classmate when she was studying.
It balances out with Qin Wenqiang.
As long as he doesn’t cross the line, they can interact normally, having more friends broadens one’s opportunities.
With Jiang Zhixun’s abilities, he will surely achieve great heights, and Shen Qingqing teaching at a university has a respectable job.
To be blunt, being friends with such a family only makes others envious.
Sitting by the bedside, asking about Shen Qingqing’s health.
"I have experience with childbirth; if you have any questions, feel free to call me."
Shen Qingqing accepted openly, "Thank you in advance."
"No need to be so polite, Wenqiang sees you as a sister, so I see you as a sister too."
Shen Qingqing promptly responded, blinking, "With a sister-in-law supporting me, my kids and I will be just fine."
Seeing them get along well without any tension, Qin Wenqiang sighed in relief.
He didn’t expect his wife to be best friends with Qingqing; as long as they weren’t hostile and didn’t treat each other as enemies, that was enough.
As for Shen Qingqing, Qin Wenqiang couldn’t say much; he just went to see the two kids.
Well-fed and content, Xiao Man and Xiao Xi were sound asleep.
Lying in one crib, their chubby little faces were identical.
Qin Wenqiang said with a smile, "They’re really cute, this must make you very proud."
Jiang Zhixun indeed felt very proud.
With a handsome face and a smile, "The brother is called Xiao Man, the sister is called Xiao Xi."
Qin Wenqiang confidently stated, "Qingqing named them, didn’t she? If it were up to you, you’d definitely come up with something old-fashioned."
Jiang Zhixun snorted, "I’m the father, am I such an unreliable person?"
"Who knows? It wouldn’t be your first time doing something unreliable."
Qin Wenqiang’s look was meaningful.
It was as if he hadn’t said anything, yet everything was said.
Jiang Zhixun wished he could turn back time, go back to the past, and wake his past self up.
What the heck was I doing!
Lacking reason but still confident, "Young people act on impulse, that’s normal, as long as they can correct their mistakes."
Qin Wenqiang burst out laughing, "Praising yourself like that, you have some nerve."
He touched the babies’ cheeks, "I wonder if Xiao Man and Xiao Xi will inherit that from you."
Jiang Zhixun: "Recognizing mistakes and correcting them is a great trait; if they inherit that, Qingqing and I would be delighted."
Shen Qingqing chided him, "You guys argue all you want, leave me out of it."
Qin Wenqiang’s wife teased, "Exactly, don’t gang up on her."
Madam Jiang quipped, "You’re secretly siding with Wenqiang, that’s ganging up too."
Qin Wenqiang straightened his posture, "We’re on the same household registration booklet; of course, she helps me."
Making everyone laugh.
Shen Qingqing’s stomach hurt from laughing, holding back she tightly pinched Jiang Zhixun’s hand.
After they saw off Qin Wenqiang and his wife, Jiang Zhixun’s hand was pinched red.
