Zhou Xuemei was pregnant, and Wang Shouli was the happiest. Men, especially men of this era, still wanted to have a son to carry on the family line. It was just that he really loved his wife, so he never showed it.
The next morning, Wang Shouli, who was hungover the night before, heard that his wife was pregnant. His mind seemed to be stuck, and he didn't even know where to put his hands and feet. He carefully looked at his wife's belly and flattered her to the bed, "Wife, are you really pregnant?"
Zhou Xuemei looked at him with a silly look and said, "How can this be fake?"
Wang Shouli rubbed his hands and laughed. Xiao Tao, who had been ignored, pouted and cried, "Dad, Mom..."
Wang Shouli was startled by the cry. After he came to his senses, he quickly whispered, "Keep your voice down or you might disturb your brother."
Zhou Xuemei was a little unhappy, "What are you talking about? The baby hasn't been born yet, why are you arguing?"
As she was about to hug Xiao Tao, Wang Shouli was so frightened that he took the lead and picked up Xiao Tao, saying to Zhou Xuemei, "Don't hug her anymore. You are not alone now, so you must be careful."
Zhou Xuemei glanced at her belly, feeling a little guilty, and nodded quickly to assure him, "I will definitely pay attention to it."
Wang Shouli smiled widely, "Do you want to eat anything? I'll get it for you."
As soon as he asked, Zhou Xuemei felt like something was rushing out of her throat. She bent over and vomited non-stop. Wang Shouli was so scared that he quickly put Xiaotao back on the bed and kept patting her back. "What's wrong with you? You weren't like this when you were pregnant with Xiaotao."
Zhou Xuemei's mouth was filled with sourness, and tears could not help but drip from her eyes. She wiped her eyes and waved her hands, "I don't know either."
Wang Shouli took pictures and guessed, "I guess this must be a son. The boy just likes to make trouble."
Zhou Xuemei coughed for a long time and finally felt better. She turned back and pouted, a little unhappy, "Don't you like your daughter anymore?"
Wang Shouli scratched his head and smiled foolishly, "I like it all the same, all the same!" Seeing his wife looking at him with suspicion, he suddenly felt guilty and hurriedly said, "Only with a son can we protect our Xiao Tao."
Hearing this, Zhou Xuemei subconsciously looked outside the house, glared at him, and whispered, "Be careful that our mother hears this. Our mother doesn't like to hear this, otherwise she will definitely punish you to clean the toilet."
Wang Shouli immediately made a gesture to shut up.
Seeing that her parents were only concerned with talking about the new child and ignoring her, Xiaotao burst into tears out of grievance.
During the meal, Wang Shouli kept picking up food for Zhou Xuemei. The others were speechless when they saw him doing this.
Zheng Guo was a little unhappy when he saw that all the dishes were put into Fourth Aunt's bowl. "Fourth Uncle, you should be happy that you have a baby, but you can't put all the dishes of the whole family into Fourth Aunt's bowl. We didn't even take a single bite."
Wang Shouli was so busy picking up food for his wife that he forgot about the big meal.
He looked embarrassed and quickly put the food back. He glanced at everyone's faces and saw that everyone was a little unhappy. He coughed and said, "I'm sorry, I'm just crazy this time. I won't do it next time."
Qian Shulan glanced at Wang Shouli and said, "You pay for today's dishes!" After that, she stood up and went back to the house to get some ingredients from the space, and fried a dish in the kitchen.
When it was brought back to the table, everyone saw that it was fried giant caterpillars and rushed to grab it with chopsticks.
Wang Shouli really wanted to clamp it, but he had just said it, and it would be a bit too much to clamp it now!
Seeing that he didn't move, Qian Shulan picked up a piece of food for Zhou Xuemei with her chopsticks and said, "I wanted to cook it for you tonight. But who knew that Lao Si would pick up a plate of cabbage for you. How do you like the taste of this big green caterpillar?"
Zhou Xuemei took a bite and didn't feel like spitting it out. She smiled and thanked her mother-in-law.
Qian Shulan frowned when she saw Wang Dili transfer the cabbage from Zhou Xuemei's bowl to his own bowl but ignored Xiaotao.
She had read a report before about a woman who was pregnant, but her daughter was afraid that her mother would give birth to a baby and take away her love, so she went on a hunger strike at home and forced her mother to abort the child.
It shows how sensitive children are.
Although Xiao Tao is not as extreme as the child in the report, jealousy is human instinct and has nothing to do with age. Parents' love and care are all on the baby, so they naturally ignore the older child. The older child is naturally afraid of being abandoned. So when the baby is born, she will be jealous and even hate the baby.
If parents do not guide their children well, problems will easily arise.
After dinner, Qian Shulan started talking to the two of them.
Especially Wang Shouli, "I know you two are very happy to have a new baby, but you also have to pay attention to Xiao Tao. In the past, both of you showed your care and concern to her, and now she is suddenly ignored. The child's heart will be greatly affected. You should pay more attention to her and don't let her think about things alone."
Wang Shouli was a little incredulous, "Mom, are you overthinking it? Xiaotao is only ten years old, how can she know all this?"
Qian Shulan glared at him. "Didn't you feel jealous of your brother when you were ten? When I loved Xiaowu, think about how you felt then, and you will understand Xiaotao. Parents should try to be fair."
Wang Shouli recalled that when he was a child, when his mother gave birth to his younger brother, he felt very wronged, thinking that his mother's attention and care were all given to his younger brother, and he seemed to be abandoned by his mother. It was really pitiful.
He nodded, "Mom, I understand."
After returning home, Wang Shouli and Zhou Xuemei began to guide Xiaotao. They continued to care for her as before. Even when they were concerned about the baby, they would say, "Xiaotao's little brother will be born soon. Then Xiaotao will have a playmate."
Gradually, Xiaotao found that her parents still loved her as much as before. She also began to look forward to the birth of the baby. Then she would have a little brother to play with.
Qian Shulan thought that the Chinese New Year was approaching, so she went to the county town to pick up Jiang Yuying to celebrate the New Year together.
It would be so lonely for Jiang Yuying to spend the New Year alone.
So she specifically asked Wang Shouli to ride Wang Shouzhi's bicycle to take her back to the county town.
After arriving in the county town, Wang Shouli went to the Water Conservancy Bureau to return the bicycle.
Qian Shulan thought that she should go and say hello to Jiang Yuying first, otherwise she would have to go to the North City Grain Store to find her next year, which would be too much trouble.
As soon as she arrived at the door of Jiang's house, she saw Jiang Yuying and Guo Zhengliang walking towards them together.
Qian Shulan greeted the two of them.
When Jiang Yuying saw her godmother coming, she ran over with a look of surprise on her face.
When they arrived at Jiang's house, Jiang Yuying served tea and poured water, being extremely attentive.
Qian Shulan chatted with her about her life these days. Soon it was time for dinner, so Qian Shulan suggested going to the Hongqi Restaurant for dinner.
As soon as they arrived at the Hongqi Restaurant, before the three of them started ordering, they saw Chen Xuanxuan and a little girl enter the restaurant together.
When she saw them, Chen Xuanxuan greeted Guo Zhengliang calmly.
Guo Zhengliang smiled faintly, nodded, but did not invite anyone.
Chen Xuanxuan's face froze, and she took her friend to sit at the table next to her.
However, the girl next to her looked at Guo Zhengliang curiously.
The little girl's gaze was pure, without any infatuation or admiration.
She was about fifteen or sixteen years old, very quiet and pretty, with a little baby fat on her face. When she looked at people, she smiled naturally, and was a very friendly person.
But Qian Shulan felt that she was very peace-keeping, full of contradictions. No other reason! The filial piety value on this girl's forehead was only 1 point.
Seeing how fashionably she dresses, it's obvious that she comes from a well-off family, but the fact that she is so dissatisfied with her parents makes one wonder.
Qian Shulan's curiosity didn't last long. She withdrew her gaze and began to ask about the two people's current situation.
Guo Zhengliang seemed to want to get married soon, so he followed Qian Shulan's words and joked for a long time, "Aunt, I have always wanted to go to your house to propose marriage, but I don't know your address. You must agree to my marriage with Yuying."
This was definitely a test of Jiang Yuying's intention. Wang Shouzhi's job was exchanged with Guo Zhengliang's, so how could he not find Wang Shouzhi? As long as he found Wang Shouzhi, he could ask for her home address.
Qian Shulan looked calm. She glanced at Jiang Yuying and saw that she didn't express her opinion. She smiled and replied, "Although marriage is a big matter and parents must agree, I am not the kind of unreasonable person who will not listen to the opinions of my children. So, as long as you two agree on your marriage, I have no objection. I just need to prepare Yuying's dowry."
Guo Zhengliang was somewhat disappointed that he did not get a positive answer. Although Yuying reconciled with him, he always felt that Yuying was not as good to him as before. He even felt that it was a pity to abandon her, but it was meaningless to keep her.
Her attitude towards him was always indifferent, neither warm nor cold, and she often looked at him with a sizing look. Every time he tried to get closer to her, she would be as nonchalant as she is now, neither impatient nor anxious.
Jiang Yuying glanced at Guo Zhengliang, with a faint smile on her face, and said to Qian Shulan, "Godmother, don't pay attention to him. He is just a little anxious because his family is urging him to get married."
Guo Zhengliang laughed dryly twice, but the smile was a little bitter.
Jiang Yuying didn't care and turned to discuss what to eat with Qian Shulan.
Chen Xuanxuan at another table was not as calm as Jiang Yuying when she heard Guo Zhengliang's words. She almost broke her fingers.
The girl sitting opposite Chen Xuanxuan was absolutely stunned when she saw this scene.
She frowned and narrowed her eyes, no one knew what she was thinking.
At this time, another person walked in from the door. Everyone was a little surprised.
There is no reason because this young man looks very similar to the girl just now.
If one of them is more timid and the other is more bookish, it is possible that they would have made a mistake.
Qian Shulan suddenly heard a long-lost voice in her ears, "These two are your biological children."
This was the voice of the system, and it almost scared Qian Shulan to death.
No one knew what was going on with this system guy. He hadn't appeared for several months. If the mall hadn't been able to retrieve him, she would have thought he was dead.
But at this moment her focus was not on him, but on what he said.
Biological children? Aren’t they the twins that the original body gave away
Thinking about the original body's mission, it was to transform all the sons and daughters-in-law.
So, this young man is also one of her tasks.
Qian Shulan didn't know what to say.
You abandoned your child as soon as he was born. How can you have the nerve to expect him to be filial to you
This is even more difficult to deal with than the mentally ill Wang Shouzhi.
Wang Shouzhi at least still has a possibility of recovery, but the latter's path is completely blocked by his original self.
She pretended to be indifferent and looked at the forehead of the young man! As expected! His filial piety score was 0 points. He had no filial piety towards her at all. She really wanted to curse him in her heart.
After Qian Shulan complained in her heart, she pricked up her ears and listened carefully to the conversation over there.
"Brother, you're here!"
"Well, did you guys order anything?"
"No, Sister Xuanxuan and I just sat down for a while and you came. How is it? Did you find someone?"
The young man rubbed his brows, sighed, and began to report things.
Others also started to order food.
The young man finally had time to answer her and shook his head, "It's not that easy to find. I heard that the person moved away decades ago. It's impossible to find him."
The little girl was obviously a little disappointed. "What should I do? I thought it would be easy. Who would have thought that I couldn't find it."
Soon, food for both tables arrived.
The little girl took a bite of the bun and frowned slightly.
"Why doesn't it taste good?" asked the young man.
The little girl shook her head, covered her cheek, wrinkled her face, and said pitifully, "It's okay, it's just that my teeth are a little inflamed, so I can't eat meat fillings."
The young man hurriedly took it and didn't mind that she took a bite of the meat bun.
Chen Xuanxuan sneered, "I think you are destined to be a maid. You can't eat good meat, but insist on eating cabbage."
The little girl turned pale and lowered her head quickly, but she still had a faint smile on her face. If Qian Shulan hadn't noticed the fierce light in her lowered eyes, she would have thought that this little girl was a softie.
Soon, the little girl raised her head and glanced sideways at her brother, "Brother, are you going to look for someone else this afternoon?"
The young man was a little hesitant. He had no idea what to do. He asked all the neighbors, but they all said that the person had moved away a long time ago. How could he find him
Chen Xuanxuan poked the bun with chopsticks, frowned absentmindedly and scolded, "If you can't find it, then you can't find it. It was such a long time ago, and our country was busy fighting the Japanese and driving away those rebels in the past few years. Maybe the person has died."
The girl and the young man looked at each other and thought it was very likely. But if they went back with such a result, Mr. Fang would probably be very disappointed, right
Chen Xuanxuan had no appetite, and stood up in a distracted manner, not caring that the two people opposite her had not eaten much before standing up. The two people stood up in a hurry and followed her out.
Before leaving, Chen Xuanxuan turned back to look at Guo Zhengliang, but saw that he didn't even look at her.
Her eyes were deep and she looked very unhappy.
Qian Shulan didn't know why she felt uncomfortable the whole time she saw Chen Xuanxuan. This girl was obviously very pretty, but she gave her the feeling of a poisonous snake that would stick its tongue out at her at any time.
She had encountered hers twice. At first she thought it was her illusion, but now she had this feeling again.
She had been in contact with all kinds of people since she was a child, and she had already developed an instinctive reaction to people. This Chen Xuanxuan was probably not a good person.
She looked away and asked Guo Zhengliang casually, "Do you know the twins just now?"
Guo Zhengliang smiled and nodded, "I know him."
Seeing that his godmother was very interested, he also wanted to please her, so he smiled and said, "They are from Shanghai. The man is called Deng Xingming and the woman is called Deng Yunping. They come from a well-off family, and I heard that their father is a director."
Qian Shulan nodded, a little curious, "Then Chen Xuanxuan is also from Shanghai?"
When Guo Zhengliang heard his godmother mention Chen Xuanxuan, he subconsciously glanced at Jiang Yuying. Seeing that she didn't react, he breathed a sigh of relief and answered his godmother's question, "Yes, her father is the secretary of the Shanghai Municipal Party Committee."
Qian Shulan listened and seemed to be thinking deeply. Then Deng Xingming and Deng Yunping were Chen Xuanxuan's followers. No wonder they were silent when she said something.
