Brother Ming and Sister Jing were truly fortunate to be born during the best of times for the Qian family. Although they each had a wet nurse, Cheng Yue refused to let the children be taken away, insisting that their sole responsibilities were nursing and changing diapers. Both children had their own small beds in Cheng Yue's bedroom, while Qian Yixiu still shared the large bed with Cheng Yue.
As the two children grew up healthy, the Qian family also accomplished several important feats.
This year, the peach trees on Mountain of Flowers and Fruits that had been growing for several years could finally bear fruit. They selected the top fifty trees with the best growth and grafted them with the branches from the Golden Peach Tree behind the Lianxiang Water Pavilion. This task was completed by February.
