Watching Gu Sheng carrying his daughter home, Captain Luo's mind was still lingering on the scene just now, the cute little girl hugged the man's neck, calling him "Dad" sweetly.
Gu Sheng is really not a good guy. There was even a hint of impatience on his face. The little girl coaxed her father several times.
"Dad, I'll help you put in a good word with mom."
"dad… "
Captain Luo: “…” It would be a lie to say I’m not envious of such a considerate little girl. Her voice is so sweet and gentle.
If only he could have a daughter.
I envy the family next door who has both a son and a daughter. Unlike him, when he returns home, he has to serve Zhang Lirong and her son Jin Baoer. His son is spoiled and has a bad temper, just like his mother. He dares to boss his father around at home.
"Zhang Lirong, let's have another daughter."
Zhang Lirong: “…what do you mean?” Can she and the man surnamed Luo have another daughter
Captain Luo said: "If there is a first one, there will be a second one."
"Have another daughter, and then we will have both a son and a daughter." Captain Luo looked at the sweet little girl next door and was really envious.
Zhang Lirong asked curiously, "Head of the neighboring family, Gu, is back? Is he unhappy about his new daughter?"
Captain Luo said: "I saw him holding his daughter today, and he did not look very happy."
Zhang Lirong said happily, "Really? I told him he didn't like his daughter."
"But his little girl is very lovable." Captain Luo said, "She is round, can dance, and can coax people. She looks pretty when she smiles. I guess she will look pretty when she grows up."
"One family has a daughter who is sought after by hundreds of families..." Captain Luo thought about Gu Sheng's two daughters. The eldest daughter was a beauty at first glance, and the younger daughter must be no worse. "Many people will want to marry him in the future."
"Have you noticed that Gu Sheng's popularity has improved?" Thinking of this, Captain Luo couldn't help but feel jealous. Gu Sheng has a son and two beautiful daughters. Before the daughters got married, they spoke sweetly and could coax their father. After they got married, they could find two powerful sons-in-law for Gu Sheng...
Zhang Lirong: "… Maybe his daughter has poor eyesight and has to pay for her son-in-law."
Captain Luo said: "He has two daughters, so one of them can find a good son-in-law, and that will help his son."
Thinking of this, Captain Luo became anxious.
Zhang Lirong suddenly had an idea: "If our son could marry the girl next door..."
Captain Luo frowned: "This is not good."
Captain Luo and Captain Jiang used to be old rivals. Now that Captain Jiang is gone, Captain Luo has a lukewarm relationship with Gu Sheng, but he doesn't want to become Gu Sheng's relative.
"Childhood sweethearts, innocent and innocent, it's just right that our Jin Baoer is just a little older than her little girl."
Zhang Lirong never thought about this before, because Xiao Tangyuan was older than her son. Now Zhan Aiping has given birth to another little daughter. It would be a good thing if she could marry the daughter next door.
Even if Jin Baoer is not ambitious and has no potential, as long as he can coax the little girl next door, he will have no worries about his future.
Zhan Aiping is the child of a cadre, Gu Sheng is also the child of a cadre, and Gu Sheng’s brothers are all extraordinary, not to mention his father…
The more Zhang Lirong thought about it, the warmer she felt. She thought that she could really build a good relationship with Zhan Aiping in the future. She had two daughters at home. Although Yuanyuan was older, she was not much older. If it worked out, it would definitely be good.
Where can I find such good in-laws
Seeing Zhang Lirong's erratic expression, Captain Luo hurriedly said, "Don't let your imagination run wild. We are thinking about having a daughter!"
It would take 20 years for the child to get married, and who can say for sure what will happen in 20 years? The most important thing now is to have a daughter.
If I could give birth to a daughter and find a good relative in the future, that would be a safe bet.
Zhang Lirong glared at him and said, "What do you mean by wild thoughts? This is called long-term planning. Only when we have a good relationship since childhood can it not be ruined."
If they want to have a daughter, they want a daughter, but the one with the surname Luo has to be able to give birth to a child. They only have one child, so they should coax and pamper him since he was young and find him a good relative.

Zhan Aiping didn’t know what the couple next door were planning. She was waiting for Gu Sheng to come back and wanted to hear about his results.
Gu Sheng let little Tangyuan go play with his brother, and went back to his bedroom to accompany Zhan Aiping and their little daughter Mianhuatang. Their little daughter is simply called Mianhua, which means Little Mianhua.
"Is Little Cotton asleep?"
"Yeah." Zhan Aiping smiled gently and glanced at her sleeping little daughter. Recently, she had always imagined the two little daughters acting coquettishly towards their mother... Her life was complete.
"What's Captain Luo's reaction? Are you envious?"
Gu Sheng: "Maybe, he might think I'm forcing a smile."
Zhan Aiping hit him with a pillow: "You deserve a beating."
Gu Sheng laughed: "I suspect he is jealous of me."
"Just now, my daughter coaxed me for a long time in front of him." Gu Sheng smacked his lips and said, "During the time I was away, this little girl's ability to coax people has gradually improved. She is full of sweet words. I heard that she coaxed them out of her mother."
Zhan Aiping: “…”
Gu Sheng said: "Don't worry, my wife. You have to believe that your good revolutionary comrades are determined and will never be defeated by this little sugar-coated bullet."
"I didn't agree to any of my daughter's requests."
Zhan Aiping was surprised: "Your heart is as hard as a stone."
He actually rejected his daughter's request and didn't agree to any of it.
Gu Sheng: “…”
Having hit a wall with her father, Xiao Tangyuan looked for an opportunity and went to her mother. She lay beside her mother's bed and said sweet words, "Mom, I want to eat this tonight. Can I ask Dad to prepare it?"
"Mother… "
Zhan Aiping was so confused by her coaxing that she reached out and tugged at the corner of Gu Sheng's clothes: "Did you hear what your daughter said?"
Gu Sheng smiled helplessly, thinking to himself, my wife, you have no principles at all. He looked at the mother and daughter lovingly and smiled, "I heard you. I will listen to you."
"Okay." Zhan Aiping was in a good mood. She touched her daughter's soft little face and kissed her on the cheek, "You are such a good daughter."
Zhan Aiping: "Everyone who sees it gets a share."
She hugged Gu Sheng and kissed him generously. Gu Xiangyi at the door said, "Anyone who sees it gets a share? I don't want it."
Gu Sheng glanced back at her and said, "Don't be so sentimental."
Gu Xiangyi: "Brother, you are killing the donkey after it has done its work."
Zhan Aiping said, "You guys are so hard to please." They would start quarreling without her noticing and she needed to mediate.
Gu Sheng: “…”
Gu Xiangyi: “…”
It's rare that the two siblings have the same idea: you are the hardest to please.
*
Zhan Aiping is out of confinement. She has recovered very well and is in a good mood during this period. The whole family has taken care of her during the confinement period and tried every way to coax her. The most important people in the world are around her, so it is difficult for her to be in a bad mood. After the confinement period, her complexion is rosy and her eyes are bright.
Shen Liqing came to visit her with her two children. Zhang Lirong saw Shen Liqing and her eyes narrowed. "This Shen runs around so often, could he also be thinking about that..."
The one who is closest to the water sees the moon first.
Zhan Aiping has two daughters.
Shen Liqing chatted with Zhan Aiping, and Zhan Aiping poured her a glass of buffalo milk. She had just given birth and there were many nutritional supplements at home, so her younger brother Zhan Mingzhao got her a lot of fresh buffalo milk. He was popular, and even though he had a partner and was not looking for young girls, those old men and women liked him very much.
Several children gathered together to play. Shen Liqing said to Zhan Aiping, "My educated youth cousin Zeng Jiang is getting married. He wants to invite you two to a wedding banquet. I wonder if you have time to attend?"
Zhan Aiping was puzzled: "Getting married so soon?"
Shen Liqing's cousin had just gone to the countryside not long ago, but he was already preparing to get married.
Shen Liqing: "Yes, I fell in love with a local girl here, and we got along well."
Zhan Aiping: "Will his family agree?"
Most city families would not agree to marrying a country girl.
Shen Liqing smiled and said, "We have already gone to the countryside, and our family can't control us."
Zhan Aiping: "Which day is it? If I have time, I'll go and take a look."
The place where Zeng Jiang went to the countryside happened to be the place where Zhan Mingkang went to the countryside. She had not visited it yet. Zhan Bo asked her not to go and take care of Zhan Mingkang. Although he did not have a good relationship with Zhu Jiaorong and her son, it would be reasonable for her to go and see him.
Everyone is curious, and Zhan Aiping was very curious about what Zhan Mingkang would be like during his few months in the countryside.
Zhan Aiping gave birth to a daughter, and Zhan Bo called several times to show his concern. Having a new granddaughter is always a happy event. In addition, Zhan Bo and his wife were very concerned about Zhan Mingkang, especially Zhu Jiaorong. She thought all day long about her son going to the countryside as an educated youth, suffering and doing farm work in that remote place, and she wished she could cry every day.
"My son, my Xiaokang, why do you have to suffer this?"
Zhanbo advised: "You have to think about it carefully. This is all for the good of your son. Let him exercise."
Zhu Jiaorong wiped her tears and said, "I sacrificed my son so that you could get promoted, but you are so happy about it. You don't even think about our son."
"Our son has never suffered such hardships. Life in the countryside is so hard. Aren't you worried? What if our child really becomes a farmer?"
Zhan Bo said: "Wait a few years and then find a way to transfer him back. Just let him suffer a little first. If he loses weight and becomes more energetic, we will be happy... This is all for the future of the children."
Zhu Jiaorong felt sad: "You always say that in the future, I feel bad for the child's suffering. Xiaokang must dream of coming back."
Zhanbo pursed his lips and said, "Why don't you send him some more food coupons so he won't starve."
Zhu Jiaorong sighed.
Zhan Aiping received a call from Zhanbo, who was concerned about his good son-in-law Gu Sheng and his little granddaughter Mianmian. Finally, he was silent for a while before speaking: "Pingping, look, if you and Xiao Gu have time, go see your younger brother."
"It's not easy for your Aunt Zhu either. She only has this one son."
"Go and see if he is hungry. He has lost weight." Zhan Bo imagined in his mind what his younger son Zhan Mingkang would look like after becoming thinner. Zhan Bo had regular facial features and had looked good when he was young. Zhu Jiaorong was of average appearance, and Zhan Mingkang was not ugly either, just a little fat.
If he were thinner and darker, he would definitely look more energetic.
Zhan Aiping said on the phone: "I'll go take a look when I have time."
Zhanbo hesitated and said, "You, please take care of him on behalf of my old father."
"Pingping, he is your brother after all, so don't dwell on the past..."
Zhan Aiping listened to him indifferently.
"He had a quarrel with his parents before he went to work as an educated youth. After he arrived there, he rarely called home or wrote letters. Your Aunt Zhu was worried..."
Zhan Bo said: "Please help me persuade him and tell him that as long as he stays in the countryside for two or three years, his mother and I will find a way to get him back to the city..."
Zhan Aiping said: "When Mingzhao went to the countryside, you didn't care so much."
Zhan Bo paused and said, "Ming Zhao is living well in the countryside."
Zhan Mingzhao is relatively introverted and sensible, and he is doing well living in the countryside. Zhanbo is very confident in him. Of course, Zhanbo has been in high spirits recently, and he doesn't care much about his youngest son. If Zhu Jiaorong hadn't been making noises in his ears every day, he wouldn't have thought much about it.
As a man, you have to go through some ups and downs before you can grow up.
Zhanbo hoped that his youngest son would return home as a successful person. After learning about the hardships of life in the countryside, he became determined to work hard.
Zhan Aiping mocked, "As soon as he came to the countryside, he said he had two regiment commander brothers-in-law. Who dares to bully him?"
Zhanbo: “…”
"This... the conditions in the countryside are still a bit harsh."
It's impossible that Mingkang would be so happy in that remote place that he would never want to leave.
