After Being Reborn and Regaining Her Identity, the True Heiress Is Spoiled in the Seventies

Chapter 264

Everyone knew that Old Pei did not agree with Pei Jing chopping down the apricot tree to plant jujube trees, and he himself did not realize it. Xia and Sister Zhang would not blab about it either.

After dinner, as usual, Old Pei went for a stroll around the backyard, only to suddenly discover that the apricot tree in the backyard had been chopped down, leaving only a large tree stump there.

Not far from the stump was a newly planted jujube tree. Although not big, it was full of fruit.

Old Pei's eyes widened instantly.

In that instant, it seemed he understood why Older An said he didn't ask him to go play chess, and why the dragon and phoenix twins also told him it was Dad who said so.

This was clearly to get him out of the way so they could make a move on his apricot tree.

Old Pei, glaring with eyes wide, went back to the front yard and asked Xia, "Was it Pei Jing's doing with the tree in the back?"

In fact, it was not a big deal to chop down a tree. It was just that it was full of fruit before being chopped down, so it felt a bit of a waste not to agree to it being chopped down.

He didn't expect that this kid didn't need his attention when he was little, yet now 30 years old, he suddenly became mischievous, which made Old Pei feel strange.

Since Old Pei had discovered it, Xia could only explain with a smile, "Dad, don't be angry. It was because the child wanted to eat jujubes that he decided to plant the jujube tree."

It was for his grandson who wanted to eat them. Only then did Old Pei understand.

Anyway, at his old age, it didn't matter what he ate. Since the child wanted to eat them, Pei Jing must have been catering to the child.

It was just that it was a pity for that tree full of fruit.

Although the jujube tree was not big, it seemed to be very productive with a bunch of fruit hanging on it. He wondered if it could survive.

Old Pei decided to water the jujube tree more in the future and take better care of it. Maybe with improved nutrition, the fruit would not fall off.

Sure enough, the jujubes on that tree really survived and grew vigorously, much larger than ordinary jujubes.

It was summer vacation again. An ZhiXian specially took leave to send Liu Ling and Wen Qing to visit An Zhiqing.

One might also say they were being overcautious.

After all, this era was unstable to begin with. On trains there were swindlers, thieves, human traffickers - none of them had the word "bad guy" written on their face. If they were unlucky enough to encounter a train robber, there was no preventing disaster. So no one felt reassured about Liu Ling taking the child on such a long journey alone. Every time, An Zhiren would go along to send them off.

However, Zheng Suchun was pregnant this time, so An Zhiren stayed home with her and An ZhiXian took leave instead.

On a summer day filled with the sound of cicadas, the twins ran out with Big Yellow to catch crickets. Perhaps due to the heat, Yuan Bao didn't feel like going out to run around much.

Wanqing asked Xia to prepare a small basket for her and made a nest for Yuan Bao in the basket just right for carrying her out to play.

The fluffy cutie was always popular. Often a group of children would come to the house to see Yuan Bao.

Half a month after Pei Jing left, Xia had already tested herself with test strips, and the second line was very faint, so she was not sure if she was pregnant or not.

With her previous children, it was always when she and Pei Jing agreed they wanted another one, and unexpectedly they always had multiples - otherwise they wouldn't have had so many.

Truly as Wang Yue had said, it was like giving birth to piglets.

After having triplets, they had already agreed not to want any more children.

But this time was different. This was a child they had been hoping to conceive again.

Hearing about Pei Jing's experiences from his past life was like listening to a story, but as his biological parents, whether intentionally or not, they undoubtedly owed this child a lot, letting his childhood be filled with painful experiences.

This lifetime, he would be born out of their hope, grow up healthy and happy, giving him a chance to come again and giving them a chance to make up for things as parents.

All parents look forward to their child becoming more sensible, but Xia hoped that in this life he wouldn't need to be so sensible.

With the love and care of his parents and older siblings, she only hoped he could follow his heart and have a safe and smooth life.

After another half month, Xia tested herself again. This time the two lines on the test strips were very obvious and she finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Pei Jing had also calculated the timing and on this evening came into the space domain.

Ever since the weather had turned hot, Xia would rest with the children inside the space. After all, with the door closed, no one outside could see what was inside.

By now it was already late into the night. She and several children were all asleep when she suddenly felt someone intrude into the space domain. Only then did she open her eyes.

The door was just pushed open and Pei Jing came in from outside.

Their eyes met. The next moment she was lifted off the bed into his arms and he turned to go outside.

Lying lazily in his embrace on the soft sofa, the two snuggled against each other.

"How is it? Are you pregnant?" Pei Jing's big hand roamed her belly as his warm voice was full of anticipation.

"I'm pregnant. I just tested today at noon. I thought to tell Dad and the others in a few days - otherwise with it being so soon, it would be too obvious." Xia finished speaking and looked at him accusingly, "If you didn't come to ask if I was pregnant, would you even have come in? Were you about to forget me and the kids?"

"What are you talking about?" Pei Jing looked at her disapprovingly. "Indeed I've been very busy this time period, Xia. It's hard on you taking care of the kids alone. I promise you that once the military affairs get on track, I will make time to be with you all."

Xia wasn't actually resenting him, just saying it casually. "Alright, I'll be waiting then."

Another half month passed before Xia informed Old Pei and the others that she was pregnant again.

At that time the old gentleman and old lady were also present. The old lady didn't hold back and sprayed her mouthful of tea all over the table. They were all looking at Xia in disbelief.

They knew Pei Jing had come back that day, but getting pregnant again from just that one time - it was just too easy!

And the triplets were only 7 months old and still couldn't walk at all.

Xia herself also felt rather embarrassed, but she had gotten pregnant counting the timing and going later she wouldn't know if it might still be the original child.

Old Pei could only be happy that it was at least conceived from his own family's seed. If he dared reveal any unwillingness, Older An could fight it out with him.

It was only when Xia and the children were not around that Older An still erupted. "Surname Pei, can you control your son? Xia had just given birth to triplets after New Year's, her health hasn't recovered yet, and now she's pregnant again. Can her body handle it?"

Previously seeing Pei Jing as steady and self-controlled, he liked him more and more, but now, how could he be so annoying!

Old Pei could only force a smile and curse Pei Jing in his heart behind closed doors.

When Wang Yue heard from Pei Jianguo that Xia was pregnant again, she truly wanted to flip the table in anger.

"Those three can't even walk yet, and now pregnant again - utterly shameless, bah! Just a slut who can't live without a man, no fear of ridicule."

Pei Jianguo heard it from grandfather in the first place. He only casually mentioned it after coming back, but didn't expect Wang Yue to still harbor such deep resentment even after their divorce.

"Mom, Auntie and Uncle didn't offend you. Besides, it's their own business if they want to have kids or not. It has nothing to do with us, so why criticize them that way?" Previously he also looked down on Xia quite a bit, but after getting to know Mo Mo, she persuaded him to care more about grandfather and get on better terms with second uncle's and little uncle's families. After all they were still relatives and connected by blood and bones.

He felt she made a lot of sense.

Unlike Wang Yue, Wang Yue only wanted him to be close with her. She was always calculating against other family members.

Whereas Mo Mo's thoughts placing greater emphasis on familial bonds was exactly what he identified with.
