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.
