Chapter 1179 - 1179 Strange Genes
1179 Strange Genes
Unknowingly, Xia Zhe had started crying. He did not even know when his tears flowed out, but he was inexplicably touched and a part of his heart became extremely fragile. Looking at Xia Fan sleeping sweetly in his arms, he had the most indescribable feeling.
“Oh my, oh my. How can a grown man cry! Tell me why are you crying! Look at how useless you look!” Xia He said disdainfully.
“I just… Sigh… I don’t know either.” Xia Zhe could not explain it clearly.
Xu Lan laughed and said, “It must be the genes of the Xia family’s men. When I gave birth to the three of you, your father bawled at the entrance of the hospital. Particularly when he saw Xia He, he cried so hard that the ground almost shook. Those who didn’t know better would think that he was the one who gave birth to the three of you.”
“How can there be such a thing! Mother! Tell us the details! Why don’t we know anything about this!” Xia He looked at Xu Lan and asked with a gossipy look.
Xia Mao coughed lightly and said, “Don’t embarrass me… There’s no need to tell the children everything…”
During the three times that Xu Lan gave birth, Xia Mao was not by her side each time. It was always Wu Min who took care of her. Every time after she gave birth, Xia Mao would report to his superiors and receive special approval to return and visit her for a few days.
Xia Mao had always wanted to have a daughter. When he heard that Xu Lan had given birth to Xia He, he wailed loudly at the door of the hospital ward. When he held Xia He, his hands could not stop trembling. Later on, the nurse was really worried that Xia Mao would accidentally drop the baby so she snatched the tiny Xia He away from Xia Mao’s arms.
Xia Mao was not the only one. Xia Jun wept even harder than Xia Mao! Xu Lan had heard from Wu Min that when Xia Xiu was born, Xia Jun was so excited. After the doctor came out of the delivery room and announced that it was a girl, Xia Jun actually hugged the doctor and cheered as he walked a few rounds outside the delivery room door.
In fact, Xia Jun even bought many meat buns and distributed them from house to house. At that time, meat buns were very expensive. Ordinary families would not even be able to afford one during the new year. Xia Jun happily bought them for every family.
When Wu Min found out about this matter, she scolded Xia Jun for more than an hour! However, she actually felt very happy inside. After that, they went on to have more children and the custom of giving out meat buns continued until Xia Fang came along.
“Fine, fine, fine. I won’t say anything, but I can’t help you hide it for long. These children are all very smart!” Xu Lan said proudly.
The ward was filled with laughter, but when there was joy, there was also sorrow. After He Mei was sent to the small town by He Ning, she had kept waiting for news about Xia Zhe. However, when Xia Zhe’s army unit arrived, there was no sign of Xia Zhe at all. After asking around, He Mei found out that Xia Zhe had returned to the capital to look for Qiao Mei!
Xia Zhe had two children now! It turned out that Qian’e and Qiao Mei had colluded back then! They had played a trick on her! She had suffered all the hardships for so long in vain!
“Little Uncle! What exactly is going on!” He Mei said anxiously.
“What are you talking about? What is it?” She made He Ning confused the moment he picked up the phone.
“The matter of Qiao Mei giving birth! Qiao Mei is still alive! The two children are still alive! Didn’t they say that Qiao Mei had a miscarriage! What is this!” He Mei shouted.
He Ning simply hung up the phone. He Mei was such a good-for-nothing. He was originally in a good mood, but after He Mei kicked up a fuss, she had completely ruined his mood.
He made a phone call to ask Jia Zhong to come over. Recently, he had not been in good health and had not paid attention to the Xia family’s matters. Jia Zhong related everything that happened to He Ning, who smiled with some interest. This whole thing was really interesting. The Xia family was really good at keeping their composure.
“Go and prepare a generous gift for me. I want to go and visit Qiao Mei myself,” He Ning instructed.
Jia Zhong immediately went out to buy gifts. Huo Gao looked at He Ning in puzzlement and asked, “Are you sure you want to go?”
“Why not? Xia Wen still owes me money! Most importantly, he still owes me ginseng. Of course I have to seize such a good opportunity,” He Ning said with a smile.
If he did not go and extort a sum of money now, then when would he be able to do it! He did not want to miss this chance!
