Rebirth of a Village Girl

Chapter 1268: 310: Joyfully welcomed boy and girl twins_3

“Kids this young, it’s really not easy for them.”

Ni Cuihua waved at the security guard and continued, “You can head over first.”

The security guard looked troubled and said, “Factory director, she really is a scammer! Don’t let her fool you!”

“Don’t worry, she’s not a scammer.”

The security guard wanted to say more, but since Ni Cuihua was the director, saying too much wouldn’t be appropriate.

“Thank you for believing that I’m not a scammer!” The young girl bowed to Ni Cuihua and then said, “Factory Director Ni, my last name is also Ni, and my name is Ni Qingzhu — ‘Qing’ as in ‘green,’ and ‘zhu’ as in ‘bamboo.’

Her name originated from a line of ancient poetry.

“Hold steadfast to the green mountains, roots planted deep in rocky ground.”

She hoped that she could embody the spirit of bamboo — resilient, upright, elegant on the outside, and tranquil within.

Ni Cuihua nodded. “Alright, I’ll call you Qingzhu then. So, what’s the cooperation you want to discuss with me?”

Ni Qingzhu looked up seriously at Ni Cuihua and said, “I believe this is a deal that’s all profit and no loss. As long as you trust me, I can help you earn money!”

Ni Cuihua smiled and replied, “There’s a cafe up ahead; how about we chat over a cup of coffee?”

“Alright,” Ni Qingzhu nodded.

Not long after, the two arrived at the cafe.

Ni Cuihua ordered two cups of coffee.

Ni Qingzhu handed her collaboration proposal to Ni Cuihua.

Taking a glance, Ni Cuihua thought Ni Qingzhu was a truly remarkable young girl. Even though the proposal was relatively simple, for a young girl of only sixteen or seventeen, it was already an impressive achievement.

Ni Qingzhu looked at Ni Cuihua nervously. After a long while, she asked, “What do you think?”

Ni Cuihua felt she should give young people a chance, so she nodded and said, “Very good. When shall we sign the contract?”

Ni Qingzhu exclaimed in surprise, “You’ve decided to cooperate with me? Really?”

Ni Cuihua nodded. “Yes.”

“Thank you! Thank you so much!” Ni Qingzhu stood up and bowed repeatedly.

During this period, she had approached many factories, but Ni Cuihua was the only one who agreed to work with her. Others thought she was too young to be trustworthy.

Some even suspected she was a scammer.

Ni Cuihua smiled and said, “No need to be so formal. Our relationship is supposed to be mutually beneficial.”

That afternoon, Ni Cuihua and Ni Qingzhu signed the contract, and Ni Cuihua even gave her a deposit of two thousand yuan.

Gripping the two thousand yuan tightly, Ni Qingzhu was deeply touched and said, “Factory Director Ni, thank you for trusting me like this!”

Two thousand yuan wasn’t a small amount. The two had only met once, yet Ni Cuihua placed such trust in her. Ni Qingzhu was genuinely moved.

…

On the other side, after Wang Zeqi and Wang Lulu’s wedding finished, Ni Yang returned to Jinghua Village with Du Jiaojiao.

Beijing’s winter came relatively early. Just as the two stepped into the Ni family’s courtyard, snowflakes began to dance in the air.

“It’s snowing, how beautiful.” Du Jiaojiao stretched out her hand to catch a snowflake.

Ni Yang began moving the potted plants in the courtyard indoors. “Once it’s snowing, the temperature will drop. Sister Jiaojiao, did you bring a down jacket? If not, you can wear mine.”

Du Jiaojiao replied, “I checked the weather forecast, so I was prepared and brought two down jackets!”

“That’s good.”

Du Jiaojiao then asked, “I heard your sister is pregnant, right?”

“Yes, she’s already eight months in.”

Du Jiaojiao was surprised. “She’s about to give birth then!”

Ni Yang nodded. “Her due date is the third day of the Lunar New Year, but since she’s having boy and girl twins and might need a Caesarean section, the delivery will probably be a few days early.”

Upon hearing this, Du Jiaojiao was even more astonished. “Wow! Your sister is amazing! She’s having boy and girl twins!”

Ni Yang chuckled and replied, “My brother and sister are boy and girl twins themselves, so they carry the genes. I figure my brother’s wife might have twins in the future too!”

“That’s wonderful!” Du Jiaojiao said enviously.

Ni Yang continued, “But envy won’t do any good here, Sister Jiaojiao. When are you going to find me a brother-in-law? Maybe you’ll have twins too!”

Du Jiaojiao thought seriously for a moment. “Probably not. Our family doesn’t have the twin gene, and I don’t plan to get married.”

Du Jiaojiao was steadfast in her decision not to marry.

What’s the good in marriage?

Just to find a man who might annoy you?

Ni Yang raised her eyebrow and said, “Are you serious?”

The late 1980s didn’t see many women committed to staying single.

Du Jiaojiao nodded. “I’m serious! Yangyang, are you planning to push me into marriage? I’m someone who loves my freedom. I don’t want to cater to in-laws, nor do I want to bear children! Being alone is really nice! I get to do whatever I want, and I don’t feel lonely at all!”
