Chapter 119: Sister-in-law gave birth to a child, wrote a letter and sent something back
Around nine o'clock in the morning on July 1973, 7, the sun was shining brightly in the courtyard, and everything seemed so peaceful and beautiful.
However, a clear shout broke the silence—"Bai Zhizhi! There's a telegram for you!"
Bai Zhizhi was busy in the house. When she heard the sound, her heart tightened and she had a bad feeling. She hurried out of the yard and saw the postman standing at the door with a telegram in his hand.
"Thank you..." Bai Zhizhi took the telegram with her hands shaking. She took a deep breath and tried to calm herself down, but her inner uneasiness became more and more intense.
Back in the house, she carefully opened the telegram. When she saw "Father Bai" written in the sender column, her heartbeat instantly accelerated and her hands began to tremble involuntarily.
She calmed herself down and slowly unfolded the telegram. It clearly read: "Minmin has given birth. Both mother and child are safe." These few short words hit her heart like a hammer.
Bai Zhizhi's tears instantly welled up in her eyes, she was so excited that she could not control herself. Minmin was her third sister-in-law. Ever since her third brother went to the army, her mother had been worried about his safety and marriage.
Now that she learned that her third sister-in-law had successfully given birth to a child, she knew that the big stone in her mother's heart could finally be put down.
She prayed silently, hoping that this new life would bring more joy and happiness to the family. At the same time, she also looked forward to meeting this little nephew as soon as possible and feeling the warmth of family love.
She turned back to the house, took out paper and pen, and wrote a letter to her family and Bai Sansao. In the letters, she expressed her blessings and longing for her family and how due to the long journey and the young children, she had to send things and write letters as compensation to her aunt.
After finishing writing, she got up, walked into the bedroom, opened the closet, and took out some children's items.
These were all specially selected by her from the system space warehouse, including diapers suitable for this year, milk powder, malted milk, cloth suitable for babies, talcum powder, baby bottles, baby suits, shoes, socks, etc. In addition, she also took out a pair of silver bracelets and a golden Buddha necklace, which were all gifts she carefully prepared.
She put these things on the table and checked them carefully to make sure nothing was missing. Then, she took out some things from the system space that she would send back to Bai's father and mother this month, such as some food, clothes, medicine, etc. She also put these things on the table and prepared to pack them together and send them away.
Finally, she picked up the silver bracelet and the golden Buddha necklace, looked at them, thought about it, and decided not to send them out for the time being. After all, these two pieces of jewelry were too valuable, and it would be a pity if they were lost or damaged during mailing.
Therefore, she decided to wait until she went to H Province to personally hand over these items to Bai Sange and Bai Sansao. This way, she could not only ensure the safety of the items, but also let them truly feel her intentions. After all, she could not act publicly at the moment, let alone give them in front of the eldest and second sisters-in-law. Since there was only one of this item, she originally planned to leave one for each of the triplets, and she did not want to give the remaining one to others.
However, the third brother and the original owner are identical twins. Although the other two brothers are also her biological brothers, the two grew up together in the Bai mother's womb, so the family relationship is naturally deeper.
This time when she was preparing to send the items back to City C, she certainly also had to buy some precious gifts for her other four nephews and nieces.
Besides, she used to send things to them every month, so she believed that it wouldn't cause too much controversy this time.
If the eldest and second sisters-in-law are dissatisfied with this, the relationship between them may gradually become distant.
Then she handed the letter, two packages and the postage to the postman, and solemnly asked him to deliver them to the Bai family as soon as possible.
Looking at the postman's receding back, Bai Zhizhi felt an indescribable joy and anticipation in her heart.
Bai Zhizhi stood in the yard, looking towards her hometown, tears in her eyes. She silently prayed that her family was well and hoped that they could feel her deep longing for them. At this moment, she felt that the distance between her and her family seemed to have shortened a little, as if she could hear their laughter.
Excited, Bai Zhizhi decided to share the good news with Lu Chuan. She walked briskly to the study where Lu Chuan was and knocked on the door gently.
When Lu Chuan opened the door and saw Bai Zhizhi, a warm smile immediately appeared on his face.
"Lu Chuan, I have good news to tell you." Bai Zhizhi said excitedly, her voice revealing the joy that she could not conceal.
"What good news?" Lu Chuan asked curiously, his eyes full of anticipation.
"My third brother's child is born, and both mother and child are safe!" Bai Zhizhi said excitedly, her hands unconsciously clasped together.
After hearing this, Lu Chuan showed a happy expression on his face and was sincerely happy for Bai Zhizhi.
"That's great." Lu Chuan said, "Third brother and parents must be very happy. Do you want to go back and see them? If you do, I will arrange for Xiaolin to go to the county to buy tickets tomorrow."
"This is not good. We just came here, and you just took over the job here. If I go back, who will take care of you? And the triplets are almost three years old. Although they know the basic knowledge, it is still far from enough. And it takes a whole day and a night to sit in the car. It's a bit unbearable. Let's wait until next time. I just wrote a letter to my family and sent them something to tell them that we can't come back for the time being. Next time you have a rest, you can take a leave to go home or go back to H Province. After all, H Province is closer than C Province."
"Thank you, my wife. It is my greatest blessing to have a good wife like you. Now that you have written a letter to your family," said Lu Chuan.
After they chatted for a while, Bai Zhizhi was about to leave to take a shower in the system space, but Lu Chuan stopped her and hugged Bai Zhizhi and they began to get close.
