Chapter 423 - 234 Foreigner_3
For instance, could they make fireworks that fly through the sky like little birds, or make an explosive device that detonates upon being stepped on underground, or create an explosive that, like a stone, would detonate when thrown among enemy ranks...? She listed at least a dozen ideas, all in the innocent tone of a young girl.
Last night, after reading the letter, Qian Yeejin laughed heartily and playfully tugged at her hair bun, saying, "To think my little sister came up with these, are you treating weapon making as child’s play? You’ve even thought of little birds and stones."
Qian Yixiu smiled and said, "In doing anything, there is no fear in not being able to do it, but in not thinking of it. Maybe they could actually make it happen."
The siblings had already agreed on a plan, splitting up for their tasks. Qian Yeejin would go to Sir Wong’s house, Sir Wu’s house, and the Old Yu Family to deliver New Year’s gifts. Qian Yixiu, on the other hand, would go to the Qianxiang House and the Zhang family for the same reason. In the end, they would meet at the Jinxiu Embroidery Workshop and head home together.
Qian Yixiu first visited Qian Xiang’s home and then went on to the Zhang family. There, Old Lady Zhang had her stay for lunch and amused herself with Yu’er, the toddler. At one and a half years old, the child was extremely lovely, chubby, and bald, toddling around unsteadily, and clutching Qian Yixiu while calling her "sister," which was incredibly endearing.
Huang Yuexian was pregnant again, which sent the Zhang family into a frenzy of joy. The Zhang family had only single heirs for several generations and never expected that the seemingly frail daughter-in-law could be so fertile.
Zhang Little Divine Doctor had now shed all his youthful awkwardness, blossoming into a young uncle with a gentle and scholarly demeanor. Three days ago, when he visited the Qian family for the New Year, he even took Cheng Yue’s pulse.
After lunch, Huang Yuexian and Yu’er went for their afternoon nap, and Qian Yixiu chatted with Old Lady Zhang for a while before excusing herself to leave.
Old Lady Zhang, reluctant to let her go, held on to her, but Lady Song laughed and said, "Mother, take a look outside, it’s already started to drizzle. We should let the young lady go home early. If it gets later, I’m afraid it will be even colder."
