Guo Xuyang went home, sent Xiao Xi upstairs, and then went to find Xiao Hong.
"Have you contacted your family?"
"Yes, I have. My parents and my brother are waiting at home."
"I came to ask for your opinion on something.
After your uncle and aunt arrive, would you prefer them to stay in the west courtyard or in a hotel?"
"Can the west courtyard accommodate them?"
"It can, but it will be a bit cramped.
The houses over there are almost all occupied."
"If they can fit, let them stay in the west courtyard.
That way, you and I can chat too," Xiao Hong said.
"There's also something I haven't told your parents about the family situation.
Zixuan, Yang Yang, and Xia Li are all pregnant.
Xiao Xi also returned from the hospital today.
When the time comes, it would be best if you could discuss this with them privately, so they don't object."
"I've told my mother about this, and she knows.
She said it's already like this, and there's no point in objecting.
As for my father, I don't know what my mother has told him."
"As long as your mother doesn't object, it's fine.
Your father is an educated man, so he shouldn't put us in an awkward position," Guo Xuyang said.
"My father is very stubborn.
If he does anything out of line, please be understanding,"
"It's normal for a father-in-law to get angry in such a situation. As long as it's not too excessive, I won't say anything."
"My father did mention that the national liquor is quite good, perhaps you could prepare a few more cases for him," Xiao Hong said.
"No problem, that's a minor matter.
I'll go out in a moment and tell Xiao Yun and Liu He to prepare a few more cases.
When your father and them leave, they can take several more cases with them."
"I'd like my mother to stay here for a while longer, do you think that's okay?"
"No problem. We have enough space here anyway, so let them stay."
Guo Xuyang paused after speaking.
"When Xiao Xi's full moon banquet is held, her parents will likely come."
"My mother won't stay that long. Ten days would be a lot."
"That makes things much easier.
I was worried they might clash if they were here at the same time, and it would be awkward for everyone."
"Don't worry about that. I'll go back with my mother for a period of time.
Besides, I plan to go back to school in September."
"You should go next year.
Xiao Bao is so young now, how will you feed him if you go?"
"Can't Gao Yuan and Lulu go with me?
Besides, universities don't forbid marriage and having children nowadays.
If I take Xiao Bao to school, wouldn't it be better for him to start learning university knowledge from a young age?"
"He's so little, what does he understand?" Guo Xuyang quipped.
Unexpectedly, Xiao Bao grinned, looking like he was about to cry.
"Don't say that, Xiao Bao can understand you.
Normally, when we tell him stories at night, he laughs out loud if it's a happy story, and he cries 'a a' if it's a sad one."
"He can really understand what we're saying?"
"Of course. Aren't both of your sons prodigies?
Besides, when I was pregnant, he would kick my belly to the rhythm of the music."
"These children nowadays are all so precocious," Guo Xuyang said.
"Precocious? You're right.
I've noticed that when Xiao Bao and Da Bao are together, they always have endless things to say to each other.
Da Bao's pronunciation is unclear, and he occasionally utters a word or two.
Xiao Bao also responds with 'hmm hmm' and 'a a'," Xiao Hong said.
"We need to nurture these two little ones early.
When I get back, I'll get some medicine water to soak them in, and they can become the main players of the football team in the future."
"I want to cultivate him into a great literary figure."
"The football team is our top priority. Other things can be cultivated as hobbies."
"So, you agree to let me take our son to school?"
"We'll discuss the school matter later.
I need to arrange tomorrow's baby banquet first."
Guo Xuyang said, then kissed Xiao Bao and left.
