November to December passes quickly, and it seems that it only takes a few days from falling leaves to freezing.Everyone in the school changed into winter uniforms one after another, and people came and went talking with each other with white air.

There are still a few days left in this month that will be the birthdays of Jiang Yan and Xi Zhikong, and Jiang Wen's due date will be those few days.Recently, Jiang Wen was admitted to the hospital. After all, she was an elderly woman, and she was pregnant with twins. She moved her things and was admitted to the hospital a week in advance. Even Guangji had to go to the hospital to accompany her every day, no matter how busy or late.

The hospital she lived in was very close to Wenhe, Jiang Yan and Xi Zhikong would take time to have a look after class and before evening self-study, the family had dinner and they hurried back to school for evening self-study.

Jiang Yan bought an interesting little thing on Taobao a few days ago. He provided the store with more than a dozen exercises carefully selected by himself, and customized a small box with more than a dozen grids inside, each grid corresponding to a gift. At the same time, it also corresponds to a topic and is going to be given to Xi Zhikong on his birthday.

Xi Zhikong himself knew nothing about all this, and he was carefully choosing a birthday present for Jiang Yan.Both of them knew that the other was preparing a gift for themselves, but they both agreed with each other without asking what it was.

After self-study that night, the two went to eat something before returning to the dormitory. Xi Zhikong sat on the bed motionless with his clothes in his arms. Jiang Yan took a change of pajamas from the balcony and sat in front of the bed. He leaned over and asked him, What are you in a daze for?"

"it's too cold."

"Ah? Here, the heater is quite warm. Do you have a cold?" He reached out to touch Xi Zhikong's forehead, frowned and said, "It's not hot..."

Xi Zhikong grabbed his wrist with his backhand, and said sincerely: "It's not cold now, but when the water boils and pours on my body later, it must be very cold!"

Jiang Yan frowned even tighter, and asked him, "You mean taking a bath?"

Xi Zhikong nodded.

Jiang Yan thought, why didn't I hear him say that he was afraid of the cold in the shower a few days ago?The weather hasn't changed much recently. Occasionally you can see the sun for a while at noon. Could it be——

He sat next to Xi Zhikong and leaned over and asked, "Are you really afraid of the cold?"

"Yeah—what are you doing?"

Xi Zhikong watched Jiang Yan quickly take off his clothes, stretched out his hands to take off his clothes again, he raised his arms and stripped his body clean, and sat on the bed naked.

Jiang Yan bent over and put his arms around his waist, almost hugging him, and said, "What's the plot today?"

"...?"

What plot?

When Xi Zhikong came back to his senses, Jiang Yan had already brought him to stand under the shower, turned on the water and drenched him.

"Wait!" He pushed Jiang Yan out: "Who is going to take a bath with you! You go out first."

Jiang Yan grabbed his wrist and pulled it into his arms, pressed his forehead against his, and said ambiguously, "Kong Kong is sorry." Xi Zhikong thought that he was indeed embarrassed, but he could see what Jiang Yan was thinking. It is crystal clear.He looked at Jiang Yan without saying a word, and continued to push him, but his eyes became different.

Jiang Yan hugged him and refused to let go, the two dawdled under the shower for a long time, Xi Zhikong looked down and stretched out his hand to poke him, looking up with an innocent face.

He blinked and said, "Brother Yan seems to be able to concentrate today."

"I can't..." Jiang Yan couldn't help him, she smiled self-deprecatingly, and kissed the back of his head.

……

It happened to be a weekend on my birthday, and I had just finished the exam the day before and didn't have any homework. After class on Saturday morning, the two packed their things and went back to the villa.At seven o'clock the next morning, Xi Zhikong stuck his head out of the bed in a daze, squinted his eyes and saw a ray of sunlight coming in through the curtains.

He woke up instantly, lifted the quilt and quickly put on his pajamas, walked to the window lightly, drew the curtains and half knelt on the window sill, and found that the sun outside reflected the snow and the whole yard was shining brightly. The snow looked soft and soft, and I couldn't help but want to step on it a few steps.

His biological clock is adjusted too regularly for him now, he wakes up at [-]:[-] every day, and he is completely different from Xi Zhikong who asked Jiang Yan to wait for him for more than ten minutes before stepping on it more than a year ago.After washing up, I came back and changed clothes. Jiang Yan

He hadn't woken up yet, he really wanted to go out to play in the snow, and he was bored by himself, so he lay down on the bed and whispered in Jiang Yan's ear: "Jiang Yan?...Brother Yan?"

Jiang Yan didn't respond, so he moved closer and said, "Brother Ah Yan? Get up and accompany Kong Kong to make a snowman?"

Seeing that Jiang Yan was too deep asleep to wake up, he cleared his throat and raised the volume: "If I don't get up again, I'm going to fight?"

"Um……"

Jiang Yan opened his eyes and took a look—just a look, then closed his eyes and fell asleep again.

Xi Zhikong rolled up his sleeves and stretched his hands under the blanket from his waist to his chest, pressed his hand on his heart and pressed down, "Don't go to sleep, it's already ten o'clock!" Jiang Yan muttered something to Xi Zhikong Didn't hear clearly, seeing that he still didn't move, squeezed his chest without saying a word.

"Well!"

The pinched person accurately grabbed Xi Zhikong's wrist without opening his eyes, pulled him over and pushed him onto the soft bed.

"Brother, sleep a little longer." He lay on Xi Zhikong's body, speaking in a lazy and lifeless tone, and it sounded a little pornographic.

Xi Zhikong stretched out his hand and pushed him: "Hurry up, I have to go to the hospital later."

"No, I can't open my eyes now." Jiang Yan said shamelessly.

Xi Zhikong blinked his eyes and thought for a while, and suddenly asked him seriously: "Is such a cute Kongkong so cute that you can't open your eyes?"

Jiang Yan froze, a bad premonition welled up from the bottom of his heart, he opened his eyes and looked at the person below him vigilantly, and was about to reach out to grab his wrist, but found that he was already a step behind.Xi Zhikong glanced down, and then said with some complacency: "Sure enough, I woke up after seeing the lovely Kong Kongyan."

Jiang Yan buried his head in Xi Zhikong's neck and snorted, "Remember next time, don't wear clothes."

"what?"

"Anyway, you have to take it off after you wear it."

"...I'm going out to make snow...Jiang Yan! What are you doing...Hiss!"

"Solve my brother's problem first, then I will accompany you to build a snowman, don't move!"

……

An hour later, Xi Zhikong finally fulfilled his wish and stood in the yard with a shovel and gloves on. He rubbed his waist and wrinkled his brows together, tugged at the collar of his sweater, took a photo with his mobile phone, and complained: "You are so annoying!" Ah, I already told you not to kiss here, look! Can’t you cover it up!”

Jiang Yan hugged his shoulder and looked over, couldn't help kissing him again, and said, "Then don't cover it."

Xi Zhiblank glanced at him, took a few steps ahead and put the shovel on the edge of the fence, took off his gloves and pressed on the snow.

Jiang Yan reached out to stop him, "Wear gloves!"

"Let me feel it first, I'll wear it when I build a snowman!" Xi Zhikong pushed Jiang Yan's hand away, and pressed his palm neatly into the snow.

He smiled contentedly, and pressed several palm prints beside him, Jiang Yan couldn't stop him.

"Don't worry, I didn't catch a cold this time, I just wear gloves when I play, and it's not too cold today!" He was so happy seeing the thick layer of snow in the yard, and ran away excitedly Going out, there is a crisp and pleasant sound of clicking under your feet.

His mood is lighter than his steps, as if he flew into the sky and landed on the clouds, basking in the sun and overlooking the snow-white land, occasionally someone left a series of deep and shallow footprints, which should add a touch of agility to the painting in front of him Pen.Seeing him running around in the snow like a child, Jiang Yan nearly lay down and rolled over. While he was standing there, not knowing what he was looking at and not making a move, she walked behind him and hugged him gently.

Xi Zhikong called him: "Brother Yan."

"Ok?"

"I'm so happy." He turned around as he said, put his arms around Jiang Yan's neck, leaned forward and kissed him on the lips, and said, "It seems to be different from being 17 years old."

"What's different?" Jiang Yan asked.

He moved closer again, with his lips on his lips, looked at the tip of Jiang Yan's nose, his eyelashes trembled, and said, "I seem to love you even more this year."

The two stood in the snow and kissed, surrounded by pure white that made people blind their eyes. There was still the sun hanging in the sky, but suddenly it started snowing again.Snowflakes fell on Jiang Yan's scarf, and also fell on Xi Zhikong's eyelashes. When he blinked, they rolled down on the tip of Jiang Yan's nose.

"Happy birthday, Kongkong."

"Happy birthday brother Yan!"

……

Later, the driver came back to pick up things for Lian Guangji, and took the two of them to the hospital. It was only when they arrived at the hospital that they knew that Jiang Wen planned to have a caesarean section today, and they were currently undergoing preoperative examinations.

The instrument pushed by the nurse could clearly hear the strong heartbeat of the two fetuses. Both Jiang Yan and Xi Zhikong held their breaths and stood at the door, daring not to go in.Jiang Wen was also very nervous at this time, but seeing the two people standing at the door relaxed a lot, she waved them over after the nurse finished the examination.

She leaned on the bed and pulled the two of them to the left and the right, and she rolled her eyes with a smile, and said, "We have Yanyan and Xiaokong—a younger brother or younger sister."

"Aunt Wen, are you nervous?" Xi Zhikong pulled up the stool and sat down, unconsciously gathered his five fingers together, squeezed Jiang Wen's hand and asked her again: "Does it hurt?"

"It doesn't hurt, but I'm a little nervous..." Jiang Wen said and took a deep breath, "I wasn't so nervous when I gave birth to you Yange."

"That's why I won't let you worry about it, but you're obedient—wow, they're moving!" Apart from Jiang Wen, Jiang Yan has never observed a pregnant woman so closely, and seeing the trajectory of the fetus on her belly, she couldn't help but sigh with emotion Said: "Mom! They are moving in your stomach!"

"Nonsense! Of course you can move! You are the one that worries me the most. I didn't have time to be nervous when I gave birth to you. I have to give birth to you or not!" Jiang Wen smiled and slapped Jiang Yan on the shoulder. Lian Guangji just came in from outside with his lunch.

"I'm so hungry." Jiang Wen swallowed while looking at the two lunch boxes, and said, "I really need to have a good meal after the operation..." She turned her head aggrievedly, put her hands on her stomach and felt the two The little life is moving restlessly.

"Mom has stewed several pots of food for you, but you won't let me touch it. I'm sad to see that I can't eat it." Lian Guangji took a big mouthful of soup with the bowl in his hand, then took out the rice and served it with cabbage After pawing twice, he said, "Mom will come over later, and specifically told me to let you not be nervous."

Jiang Wen nodded, looking preoccupied and said, "I don't know if there will be two babies."

Jiang Yan: "... give birth to... give birth to two?"

"I already have two sons. I hope I can have two daughters. There is a colleague in our company. The eldest daughter is six years old and the youngest daughter is three years old. Every time I see two girls, I am very envious." Jiang Wen Looking at Jiang Yan even began to look regretful, she curled her lips and stretched out her hand to pat Jiang Yan's head, saying: "I really regret not wearing a small skirt for you when I was young! Alas...Kong Kong was very cute when he wore a skirt when he was a child." .”

Xi Zhikong took a sip of water and choked on it for 2 minutes, his face was flushed, his eyes were already big, but now they opened wide and asked her, "Wear a skirt?"

"Wearing a skirt? Mom, did Aunt Yi Shu wear a skirt for Xiao Kong when he was a child?" Jiang Yan patted Xi Zhikong's back and said, "Is there any photo? You should have taken a photo, right?"

In his impression, he didn't seem to have seen Xi Zhikong wearing a small skirt. In his mind, the appearance of Qian Zhikong when he was a child appeared in his mind, waiting for Jiang Wen's affirmation with full expectation, and he couldn't help but start to imagine his cute appearance in a skirt.

Xi Zhikong frowned and stared at him, took another sip of water and finally recovered.

Jiang Wen thought about it carefully and said, "It seems to be there, but... I forgot where to put it."

"Oh mom, you will never forget such an important thing! Think about where to put it!"

Jiang Yan started acting like a baby with herself by all means just to see Xi Zhikong's childhood photo of a girl in a skirt?Jiang Wen got goosebumps all over her body, shook her shoulders, took his hand off her arm, and said, "Is that all you want to see?"

"Think about it!" Of course I thought about it, such a cute Kongkong, just thinking about it makes me feel delicious.

Seeing Jiang Yan's expression becoming more and more sincere, Xi Zhikong shook his head: "You don't want to watch."

"I want to see it, I really want to see it!"

"No! You don't want to!"

"That's what I want to see, Kongkong, do you have this picture yourself! Remember to show me when you go back!"

"…Neuropathy."

……

The doctor finished the operation on the last one, and the nurse came to inform Jiang Wen to prepare for the operation immediately. Lian Guangji had already gone to the toilet three times because of being too nervous, and now he went again.Jiang Yan and Xi Zhikong supported Jiang Wen to the operating room. Standing at the door of the operating room, they suddenly felt uneasy and did not dare to let go of their hands. They were so nervous that their palms were sweating. They grabbed Jiang Yan's wrist and said: " Yanyan, mom hasn't given birth to a child for more than ten years, what should I do!"

It's actually not appropriate to ask Jiang Yan this question, Jiang Yan thought, Mom, you haven't given birth to a child in more than ten years, after all, you have given birth—but I haven't!

He was silent for a moment, and then said: "Mom, it's okay, you just need to go in and lie down this time, and the doctor will give you anesthesia, and they will do it. It must be easier than last time."

"It seems to be... that's right, so I, I went in?" Jiang Wen let go of the hands of the two and tried to walk in. The other family members waiting at the door of the obstetrics and gynecology department looked at the three people at the door curiously, and expressed kindness Encouraging Jiang Wen, Jiang Wen gratefully said thank you, and finally stepped into the gate with her legs open.

Then she suddenly turned around again, and said to the two of them with a melancholy look: "Son, what do you think mother will do if she gives birth to two younger brothers this time?"

ha?what to do?What about having two younger brothers? !

Jiang Yan and Xi Zhikong stood on the ground and looked at each other. The people sitting on both sides couldn't help laughing. Jiang Wen's heart was beating like a drum, and suddenly she clasped her hands together as if praying, and said brokenly: "Please God, open your eyes and let me have two babies." A lively and lovely little daughter, thank you! Not only I thank you, but also my mother, my mother-in-law, and my whole family thank you!"

"Mom..." Jiang Yan said with a helpless smile: "How can you be so exaggerated, sister or brother, they are all your children, don't be nervous, the most important thing is to be healthy and healthy. As he spoke, he pushed Jiang Wen in, handed her hand to the nurse, and said to the nurse apologetically, "I'm sorry, my mother...my mother may be a little nervous, please take care of me."

The nurse was wearing a mask, so she couldn't see the expression on her face clearly, but the eyebrows and eyes were crooked, and she was probably smiling.She took Jiang Wen's hand and said softly, "Mrs. Lian, come with me. The operation will be fine soon."

Jiang Wen nodded and followed her into the room, and kept turning her head to look at Xi Zhikong and Jiang Yan standing at the gate of the operating room. When she saw her eyes were blurred, she was afraid that the two children would watch her cry and worry about her. He quickly turned back, lowered his head and raised his hand to wipe his eyes.

The nurse asked her, "Is Mrs. Lian afraid?"

Jiang Wen shook her head, walked into the operating room in silence, and said, "I am so happy in my life. My son is fine, my mother-in-law is fine, and my husband—let's make do."

The doctor shook his hand, coughed twice and said, "Well, let's start."

……

Lian Guangji trotted all the way from the toilet, stood at the gate of the operating room and couldn't move, and looked in through the glass window motionless, another young father who was as nervous as him approached him lightly Beside him, patted him on the shoulder and asked him, "Brother, can you see it?"

"I can't see it." Lian Guangji said honestly.

"Then..." The young father swallowed, frowned and asked again: "Then you stand here..."

Lian Guangji turned to look at him: "Standing here, I won't be nervous."

Hearing his words, Jiang Yan saw his hands clenched into fists in front of his chest, and couldn't stand it any longer. He took two steps forward and pulled him away, saying, "Dad, Mom just went in and I guess the anesthetic is on now." It hasn’t taken effect yet, you have nothing to do—"

"Who told you that I'm free to do nothing! I'm with your mother!" Lian Guangji seemed to be afraid that others would take his place, turned around and stood motionless in front of the glass window again.

Xi Zhikong tugged at Jiang Yan's sleeve, leaned into his ear and whispered, "Uncle must be more nervous than being a father for the first time, so let's not disturb him." The bag comes with a small bag, and there is a sunglasses on the forehead - it is very fashionable in the winter and the twelfth lunar month.

The two quickly took the things in her hands, helped her to sit on the bench.The old man started talking as soon as he sat down, took Jiang Yan's hand and said, "Yanyan, it's your and Xiaokong's birthday today, the presents are below and wait for you—"

"Oh, Mom! Didn't I tell you to wait at home!"

The old man's complexion changed instantly, he stood up and pointed at Lian Guangji's nose and said, "I'm not coming! Is my grandson's birthday present going to be dusted at home?!"

"No, mom, that's what I think, this matter—"

The old man waved his hands as if he didn't want to listen to your nonsense, sat again between Jiang Yan and Xi Zhikong, put their hands in the palms of their hands, and said slowly: "Grandma is getting old, her memory is not good, and everything is wrong. It’s easy to forget, so now you have to accept whatever gifts grandma gives you, and you can’t tell when you’ll be gone when you get older.”

Xi Zhikong hurriedly waved his hands: "Grandma won't!"

"Oh, people have to go through life, old age, sickness and death, as long as they can see Yan Yan and Xiao Kong get married in their lifetime—" the old man hurriedly raised his hand to cover his mouth, opened his eyes wide in horror and shook his head.

Jiang Yan: "...Grandma, did you just say...?"

The old man made a silent gesture and hastily explained: "I'm confused, I'm confused, just pretend I didn't hear it, I didn't hear it." As she spoke, she lowered her head to search for something in the bag, and the jade bracelet and the zipper of the bag jingled rattle.

Xi Zhikong and Jiang Yan looked at each other, shrugged tacitly and spread their hands, both of them felt that something was wrong.

The caesarean section operation was not complicated. More than an hour later, the nurse opened the door of the operating room, and was startled by Lian Guangji, who was standing at the door with a serious expression, and said "Oh my god" several times while patting his heart, He took a look at the list in his hand and said, "Mr. Lian, congratulations, Mrs. Lian gave birth to—"

"Oh, I knew that I, Lian Guangji, had a daughter in this life hahahahahaha! Mom! Hurry up—"

Before even Guangji was happy for five seconds, the nurse frowned and said, "...two boys..."

Everyone wanted to laugh, but it looked too much like schadenfreude right now.Even Jiang Yan didn't hold back, put his fist on his lips and turned to lean on Xi Zhikong, laughing and shrugging his shoulders.

The smile on Lian Guangji's face stopped abruptly, and he turned around and asked again unwillingly: "I seem to see the woman written on it?"

"This is that parent's, and this is yours." The nurse pulled out the paper below, and Lian Guangji saw "male" written in the gender column, and he sighed almost imperceptibly, with a feeling of resignation a feeling of.

"Okay, let's do it, boys are boys, the family can form a men's basketball team..."

He shook his head and turned around. The nurse stopped him and said behind him, "Hey, hey! The child is gone?"

"I want it!" Lian Guangji hurriedly turned around and waited at the door, saying that he was disgusted, but in fact he was still very excited inside, but he had too much expectations for his daughter and couldn't get what he wanted, so he calmed down now Come, belatedly overwhelmed by the great sense of joy, reach out to hug the child in the nurse's hand.

The nurse didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and hurriedly said, "Your child is in the trolley behind, wait a moment."

The young father just now was called, and he took a step forward to take the child from the nurse's hand, trembling with excitement, Lian Guangji was almost jealous to death.

He watched the little girl being hugged and coaxed by the young father, curled his lips and said to himself, "Tch, why are you happy, I have two."

After speaking, he caught sight of Jiang Yan and Xi Zhikong from the corner of his eye, and suddenly added triumphantly, "No, I have four."
