Transmigration: I Have Storage Space in the Apocalypse novel Chapter 386

Chapter 386: Chapter 382: Can I Touch It Now?

——————

Liu Aimin’s gaze now fell on the large bamboo basket baby cradle in Jiang Xiaoying’s arms.

The bamboo basket was personally selected and cut by Xie Tiesheng in the logging area, who then smoothed and fashioned it by hand, weaving it into shape himself.

A completely natural bamboo basket, with a custom-made wooden board beneath, sized to fit the basket’s bottom, crafted from old peach wood specially picked by Xie Tiesheng at the second-hand market.

The old peach wood board had been scrubbed and dried a dozen times over, making the surface extremely smooth, without a single raised splinter.

In his free time, Xie Tiesheng devoted all his attention to crafting baby beds and baskets.

Knowing in advance that Yan Jinsu was carrying twins, he made the baby basket quite large, and due to the bottom layer being a thick slab of old peach wood, it was somewhat heavy.

And truth be told, the twins slept especially soundly in the basket, seemingly preferring it to the baby bed that Xie Jingchen helped make.

It was just a pity that, according to Yan Jinsu’s private musings, the twins could sleep in the basket for at most three or four months, then they would no longer fit.

Unless, only one baby slept in it.

Watching the twins sleep deeply, their little fists next to their heads moving in identical ways, made both Elder Yan and Elder Liu sigh with emotion.

"These children, born in a good era!" Elder Liu, staring at Xiao Shi decked out in a pink baby outfit, exclaimed.

"Heh, Old Liu, aren’t you stating the obvious? In this era, of course, life should get better and better—that’s the real deal! We, must still trust in the Party!"

Yan Xiqing gave Old Man Liu a silent stare, his heart also sighing for him, both of them down on their luck.

Their generation had truly suffered—right at the forefront of the revolution. Let alone the regrets about their relatives, there was also much to feel guilty about towards their own children.

At least he had Dongsheng, his only remaining offspring, but Old Liu... his male descendants had all sacrificed for the revolution, a lineage utterly lost.

Now only a granddaughter remained, and it was heard she couldn’t have children.

Thinking of this, the ’envy’ Yan Xiqing felt towards Liu Aimin instantly dissipated.

After all, the granddaughter had always been closer to Old Liu, wasn’t that only natural? A person grows old, their heart becomes thorough, doesn’t it?

"Yes... we must trust in the Party."

Liu Aimin just quietly echoed, his old eyes fixed on the twins sleeping soundly, their little mouths occasionally twitching in unison as if tasting something delicious in their dreams...

"Pfft, are these two little ones dreaming of fine food?" Mr. Yan watched his adorable great-grandchildren with amusement, his old face breaking into a broad smile, unable to maintain any sternness.

"They really are so cute." Qi Chunlan had long been leaning behind Yan Xiqing, eagerly gazing at the two little infants in the surrounded cradle.

"Do you like them?" Yan Dongsheng touched Qi Chunlan’s hair and chuckled deeply.

The three Yan brothers didn’t know about their mother’s ’bad habit’ and, seeing Qi Chunlan’s confused yet easygoing demeanor, gradually began to feel that this change might not be entirely bad—in fact, at least, Qi Chunlan had let go of all the evil thoughts and resentment in her heart.

Looking at their little sister, although she was still not close to them, similarly, she didn’t reject their approach too greatly.

Once this thought emerged in the hearts of the Yan brothers, they secretly exchanged glances and silently ’sighed’ in relief. Some things, even if known, should not be spoken aloud.

This outcome for Qi Chunlan, was good news for the Yan family and for the younger sister!

The two babies were almost asleep now, and sensing the warm breath of ’Mom,’ they slowly opened their pitch-black round eyes, and first looked confusedly at the two big pancake faces before them—

Then, Xiao Shi unceremoniously broke into a loud cry, "Wah wah wah~~" I want Mom!

Hearing his sister’s genuine crying, Xiaojiu, who didn’t want to cry at the beginning, immediately followed suit and wailed loudly, "Wah wu wu~~" Who scared his little sister?

"Wow, quite energetic!" Mr. Liu immediately placed his wrinkled hand gently in Xiaojiu’s hand but was flung away. Clearly, Xiaojiu didn’t appreciate the interaction.

"Of course!" Yan Xiqing boasted proudly, "Little Baobao has such a nice cry, she could be a singer in the future!"

Just like those lead singers in the military Cultural Troupe, singing how beautiful the country is...

"No no, our Little Baobao shouldn’t be a singer. She should be a teacher, comfortable and free, with plenty of holidays!" Liu Aimin immediately opposed.

Elder Liu obviously didn’t have a good impression of people from the Cultural Troupe, and upon hearing this, he instantly objected—
