Wealthy Beauty in the 60s
Chapter 464 - 466 Xia Xiao Is Really Fortunate
CHAPTER 464: CHAPTER 466 XIA XIAO IS REALLY FORTUNATE
"I saw her; Xiaoxiao isn’t ugly, Xiaoxiao is the most beautiful," Gao Jiaxing said as he took Xia Xiao’s hand, lifted it to his face, and gently caressed it. "Xiaoxiao, let’s not have children anymore. I’ll go for a vasectomy tomorrow. I don’t want you to suffer from this."
"What silly thing are you saying?" Xia Xiao gave Gao Jiaxing a look. "Don’t say that kind of thing in the future. I won’t let you get a vasectomy; if you do, I really will ignore you."
Xia Xiao was moved by Gao Jiaxing’s words but didn’t want him to go through with a vasectomy. After all, Gao Jiaxing was a military man, and she had also heard that vasectomy could be harmful to the body, which made her even more reluctant for him to proceed.
"There are many ways to practice contraception. Mom definitely has a method. A vasectomy is bad for the body, so don’t act recklessly."
"How do you know a vasectomy is bad for your body?" Gao Jiaxing asked.
"Our bodies are whole. If you go through with it, do you think it would end up well?"
After Xia Xiao said this, Gao Jiaxing fell silent, thinking he would ask his dad about contraception when the time came.
"Have you eaten yet? Tonight, you sleep with Feiyang, Feiyue, and Feiyi in mom and dad’s room. Mom will sleep with me, and she can take care of the twins."
At this point, Xia Xiao turned to Gao Jiaxing and said, "You and your dad can think of the children’s names."
"You decide," Gao Jiaxing said. "Wife, you’ve worked so hard. You should be the one to name the children."
"I..." As Xia Xiao tried to speak again, Gao Jiaxing placed a finger on her lips, leaned down, and gently kissed her, saying, "There’s no rush on this. You should sleep now, get some good rest. I’ll be right here watching over you."
Xia Xiao nodded, indeed she felt very tired, so she closed her eyes and quickly fell into a deep sleep as per Gao Jiaxing’s suggestion.
After Xia Xiao had fallen asleep, Gao Jiaxing tucked her in and then rose to leave the room.
The twins were in Zheng Xianghong’s room, and Feiyang, Feiyue, Feiyi, and Weilin all gathered around to look.
"The little brother and sister are so pretty," Weilin remarked as soon as the words were out of her mouth.
Feiyang, Feiyue, and Feiyi nodded in unison, agreeing that they were pretty.
Xia Jing was surprised; she had thought that Feiyang, Feiyue, and Feiyi would say the twins were not pretty. But they were indeed crystal clear and tenderly pink, very adorable, showing they had been well nurtured in the womb.
Sun Yuhua was staring blankly at the twin’s older brother, such an adorable child, though small and delicate; he was pink and chubby, making Sun Yuhua very envious and giving her a natural feeling of closeness to the child.
This child should have been mine, Sun Yuhua thought to herself. She even had the thought that since Xia Xiao had so many sons, maybe she could adopt this one.
Although Gao Jiazhi might not be Zheng Xianghong’s child, there was no evidence, was there? And neither Gao Guoqiang nor Zheng Xianghong admitted it, so as the eldest, Gao Jiazhi had no children. It might also be fine for Gao Jiaxing and Xia Xiao to adopt one of the children and raise it as their own.
Once this thought occurred, Sun Yuhua could not stop thinking about it.
"Mom, you and Dad are getting older; you both need to rest well at night. Xia Xiao is also tired; let me take care of the twins in my room tonight," Sun Yuhua offered.
Zheng Xianghong was actually relieved by Sun Yuhua’s thoughtfulness, but she still shook her head, "No need. I’ll sleep in the same room as Xia Xiao tonight; it’s more convenient for taking care of them. You should take care of Weilin."
Sun Yuhua wanted to say more, but at that moment, Gao Jiaxing came over, and she fell silent.
At that time, Xia Jing and Yang Xuehua had both left, and the news of Xia Xiao giving birth to twins had spread, causing envy and jealousy among the people of the Guangming Production Team.
Xia Xiao really has good fortune.
However, at the He Family, Dong Meihua brought her child back, hearing that the college entrance exams had been reinstated, and that everyone was preparing to take the test. Dong Meihua wrote back after hearing from He Xuewu, even Xia Xiao intended to take the test, which ignited a competitive spirit in her.
On Sky Island, Yu Youwei’s wife Liang Lizhen, along with Zhao Jianjun’s wife Chen Juan, and a new military wife had all registered for the exam, so Dong Meihua also registered on the island and even studied together with them.
Now Dong Meihua had returned home specifically to take the exam.
Once Dong Meihua arrived home, the news about Xia Xiao giving birth to twins spread, and Li Shengmei became unhappy again.
The better Xia Xiao’s life seemed, the more it reflected Li Shengmei’s lack of judgement.
Even though Yu Zhen had given birth to two children for He Xuebing, one son and one daughter, Dong Meihua only had one child. On Sky Island, He Xuegang trained even more diligently, with Gao Jiaxing and Yu Shijie as successful examples before him, it was odd if He Xuegang wasn’t diligent.
Therefore, even though Dong Meihua was a military wife, her time together with He Xuegang was often short and infrequent.
It was unknown whether it was because Dong Meihua had difficulties conceiving or if the timing was never right; either way, she currently had only one son.
But Li Shengmei also had two grandsons and one granddaughter. Yet, Xia Xiao had given birth to three sons, and now another son and daughter. Without comparison, there would be no hurt, so it would have been strange if Li Shengmei wasn’t feeling down.
"Xia Xiao has given birth to twins again," said Dong Meihua, feeling utterly powerless. Could Xia Xiao be the illegitimate daughter of the heavens? How could she be so fortunate?
"Exactly. You all are so disappointing; otherwise, how could I let Zheng Xianghong and those gossipy women of the production team mock me?" scolded Li Shengmei, glaring.
Dong Meihua remained silent and asked Li Shengmei, "I heard that Xia Xiao has registered for the college entrance exam?"
"Yes, I have heard. You’d better make me proud. You can’t compete with her in childbirth, but you must surpass her in this university entrance exam," Li Shengmei said.
Dong Meihua thought to herself, that’s right, she is a junior high graduate, and so is Xia Xiao; both are of the same educational level. She has been studying diligently since the reinstatement of the college entrance exam. Surely, she wouldn’t do worse than Xia Xiao.
With that, Dong Meihua also made an effort.
Besides Dong Meihua taking the college entrance exam at the He Family, He Xuewu also participated.
At night, Zheng Xianghong, holding the twins, shared a room with Xia Xiao to sleep, while Gao Jiaxing along with Feiyang, Feiyue, and Feiyi shared another room with Gao Guoqiang.
The house had accommodated a few more children, and the rooms were a bit more spacious, so they had added an extra bed, which was enough.
Gao Jiaxing sought advice from Gao Guoqiang on contraception, and Gao Guoqiang did not object. After all, Xia Xiao had given birth to four sons and one daughter. Since his son had this concern, Gao Guoqiang didn’t make a fuss.
And at Sun Yuhua’s place, she said to Gao Jiazhi, "Jiazhi, do you think our child’s soul has reincarnated into Xia Xiao’s belly? Every time I see that child, my heart longs to be close."
"What nonsense are you thinking?" Gao Jiazhi replied, unamused.
"How can I not think nonsense? Before, I lost my child, Xia Xiao had a nightmare, then I also had a nightmare, how could it be such a coincidence? That child must be mine," Sun Yuhua insisted obsessively.
Gao Jiazhi also knew that Sun Yuhua had been fixated on the child she never had. He felt pity for her anguish over losing a child, and he suffered too, but reality had to be accepted.
