Song Yanchuan clearly hadn't expected this move and didn't react for a moment.
Ouyang Jian immediately became displeased, nudged Song Yanchuan with his hand, and deliberately said, "What? Do you think our status isn't high enough? Or do you think my Yueqiao..."
"No," Song Yanchuan said with a hint of helplessness. "In our rural area, it's very rare for people to have godparents."
"Don't use the countryside as an excuse. Whether you acknowledge it or not is just a matter of one sentence." Ouyang Jian's voice rose a few decibels.
"Yes, yes, we'll accept it." Before Song Yanchuan could speak, Qin Yingxue said with a smile, "We're overjoyed that the children can recognize you as their godparents! This will also make our two families even closer."
"Sister-in-law knows how to talk." Ouyang Jian smiled, then looked at Song Yanchuan with disdain. "Are you even a man? You're so stingy."
Song Yanchuan touched his nose and smiled wryly.
Jiang Yueqiao looked at the three children with affection, and finally made up her mind, saying, "I would be content if I could be a godmother to one of them."
Upon hearing this, not only Ouyang Jian but also Qin Yingxue were surprised.
Song Yanchuan was also taken aback.
"Commander Song, sister-in-law, can we be Xiao Shiqing's godparents?" Jiang Yueqiao asked Qin Yingxue with a smile.
"Of course." Although she didn't know why Jiang Yueqiao had changed her mind, she readily agreed.
“They are both very good, but Qing is a bit weak when he is young. He won’t have the same healthy physique as his older siblings. Once he is old enough to understand and read, I will start teaching him piano and dance…”
Qin Yingxue was somewhat shocked. She looked up at Jiang Yueqiao and saw her smiling and looking at the third brother with gentle eyes. Qin Yingxue felt grateful and said, "I will thank Xiao Shiqing's godmother on his behalf."
"Here, this is a gift from us as Xiaoshiqing's godparents." Ouyang Jian took out an exquisite gift box.
Song Yanchuan reached out and took it, and at Ouyang Jian's urging, he opened it. It was a white jade safety buckle.
When they came in, they had already given the three children gifts: a pair of silver bracelets and a longevity lock for each of them.
This mutton fat jade safety buckle has a delicate and oily texture with good oiliness, and it looks very valuable.
Thinking back to when I was in postpartum confinement, this couple gave me gifts like milk powder and baby clothes, which are things that ordinary families can't afford.
It seems they really like children.
They will only return the generous gifts when they have children.
A commotion arose below. Song Yanchuan peeked out and saw Liu Chengming and Zhang Meili carrying gift boxes, their faces beaming as they entered the courtyard. He turned to Qin Yingxue and said, "I'll go downstairs to greet the guests. I'll have Mom come up to take care of the children..."
"No need, I can manage on my own," Qin Yingxue quickly stopped her.
“I’m the child’s godmother, so let me get along well with my godson today,” Jiang Yueqiao said from the side.
“Yes, let Yueqiao stay upstairs with your sister-in-law. I’ll go downstairs with you to greet the guests,” Ouyang Jian agreed.
Song Yanchuan nodded and went downstairs with Ouyang Jian.
Hearing the various congratulatory voices coming from below, Qin Yingxue's eyes softened and a smile played on her lips.
"I really envy my sister-in-law. She had triplets in one pregnancy, and all three children are outstanding. They will definitely be extraordinary in the future." Jiang Yueqiao gently held Xiao Shiqing's little hand and said with great envy.
"I don't want anything extraordinary, I just want them to grow up safely and healthily," Qin Yingxue said softly.
Jiang Yueqiao was taken aback for a moment, then quickly smiled and said, "Isn't this every mother's greatest wish for her child?"
"You? When are you and Battalion Commander Ouyang going to have a child?" Qin Yingxue asked Jiang Yueqiao.
“We… plan to wait two years before discussing it further.” Jiang Yueqiao’s face showed a hesitant expression.
"Why do we have to wait two more years?" Qin Yingxue asked in surprise. "Battalion Commander Ouyang is two years older than Yan Chuan. In two more years, he'll be 26. Besides, it's not like you can just have a child whenever you want..."
As Qin Yingxue finished speaking, she realized that it was inappropriate to be so blunt with Jiang Yueqiao on their first meeting, so she quickly stopped.
“Song Yanchuan should have told you some things about me and him.” Jiang Yueqiao smiled bitterly. “He came to this island to join the army back then, also to avoid me. I was afraid that our relationship was just a momentary impulse on his part, and that he would regret it after a while. Two years is like giving him and me one last chance! If we find that we are not suitable and have no feelings for each other by then, at least we won’t be tied down by a child, and it will be easier to break up.”
Qin Yingxue stared at her with wide eyes in disbelief.
“You might think I’m being sentimental, Yingxue, but I’m telling the truth. No one in this world loves him more than I do. It’s because I love him so much that I’ve lost myself. So I still hope that one day when he comes to his senses, I can give him his freedom.” Jiang Yueqiao said softly, but her expression was strained and bitter. “Don’t worry, I will work twice as hard to maintain our relationship in the next two years. If I’ve tried my best, I’ll have no regrets.”
"Yueqiao, you're so beautiful and so wonderful. Ouyang Jian won't let you down," Qin Yingxue couldn't help but comfort her. "I don't know him very well, but from what Yan Chuan said, he's the kind of person who, once he's made up his mind, will go all out. I think that since he's firmly chosen you, he's prepared to spend his life with you. You don't need to think too much. I decided to marry Song Yan Chuan on our third meeting. At that time, there was no room for feelings..."
“Song Yanchuan knew he wanted to marry you the moment he saw you.” Jiang Yueqiao shook her head. “I’m different from Ouyang Jian. He ran away from the beginning, and he ran away for six whole years…”
Even Qin Yingxue was speechless.
After running away for six years, she suddenly came back. Any woman would feel resentful in her heart if she were in that situation.
It seems that Ouyang Jian and Jiang Yueqiao's marriage will not necessarily lead to a harmonious and happy life.
If Ouyang Jian doesn't cherish this opportunity, he'll regret it someday.
"Yueqiao, you're Shiqing's godmother. Let's visit each other more often. Don't get stuck on things. If Ouyang Jian bullies you, just tell me, and I'll have my son Song Yanchuan teach him a lesson and get revenge for you," Qin Yingxue teased from the side.
"We're doing so well right now, almost unrealistically so. I'm afraid I've stolen all this time," Jiang Yueqiao sighed softly.
Qin Yingxue's heart sank. She used her mind to open the online store and described Jiang Yueqiao's condition. After confirming that he had mild depression, she breathed a sigh of relief.
It must be that Ouyang Jian didn't do a good enough job and didn't give Jiang Yuequan enough sense of security, which is why she had such doubts.
This matter can be big or small, and cannot be taken lightly.
