The family ate a meal in harmony. Han Qiushi accompanied Lin Xiaoxiao for a nap. After waking up, he accompanied Lin Xiaoxiao and Bai Hehua to go shopping.

Upon arriving at the department store, the group went straight to the baby section and started looking at children's clothes and swaddle blankets and other small items.

The three of them were extremely excited as they walked over, each picking out things they thought were pretty and cute.

Lin Xiaoxiao and Han Qiushi hadn't discussed what kind of clothes they wanted to buy beforehand, but they both fell in love with a pink and tender little dress. When their hands touched, they couldn't help but laugh.

"Look, you said you'd be fine with having either a son or a daughter, but this action reveals your true feelings, doesn't it?" Lin Xiaoxiao said with a smile.

"A daughter is like a warm little cotton-padded jacket. As long as the child is happy, that's all that matters. A daughter is perfect; you can always take good care of her." Han Qiu said this, but he was conflicted. He did love his daughter, but the thought of her facing all sorts of men when she grew up made him uneasy.

After all, men know their own nature very well, and they are afraid that if it is a daughter, she will suffer in the future and be taken advantage of by others' unfounded fantasies and lewd thoughts.

If it's a boy, being born into a family like his means he has to shoulder responsibilities. If he succeeds in his career, he has to support the entire family; if he fails, the surrounding gaze and environment will make people uncomfortable.

In short, he felt exceptionally sorry for both his daughter and son.

He had considered that regardless of whether the child was a boy or a girl, they would not have any more children. This way, Lin Xiaoxiao wouldn't have to work so hard, and the love between the children could be better balanced.

He held the pink dress in his hand, inspected it from front to back, and after confirming that there were no problems with the quality and workmanship, he kept holding it in his hand.

Seeing Lin Xiaoxiao also picking out dresses, I couldn't help but ask, "Don't you also like daughters?" Whether it's children or girls, Lin Xiaoxiao seems to prefer girls.

Lin Xiaoxiao nodded without any hesitation. She preferred girls because girls were kinder, more likely to have good qualities, and were more resilient.

Whether now or in future generations, boys are always the treasures of the family, and everyone scrutinizes their every merit. In reality, compared to girls, daughters are often far more outstanding.

If you raise a girl to be capable, she can be far more outstanding than a boy.

This wasn't because Lin Xiaoxiao liked girls and was biased in her thinking; it was the result of her careful observation.

That's what Lin Xiaoxiao thought, but Han Qiushi went even further, bringing out several beautiful dresses that she couldn't bear to look at.

"You took so many dresses at once. What if you have a boy and he has no clothes to wear?" Lin Xiaoxiao looked helplessly at Han Qiushi who was holding the clothes.

"If they were really boys, they could wear skirts too. They're so young, they don't even know they're wearing girls' clothes," Han Qiushi said casually.

Lin Xiaoxiao paused, then burst into laughter in exasperation.

She grabbed the man's arm and said, "If it's really a boy, you're not allowed to bully him, or I'll come after you."

You can tell from the clothes he buys that Han Qiushi thinks boys should be raised casually, that a young boy should be left to his own devices, and that if he's raised too pampered, he won't be able to handle things in the future.

If it really is a boy, would Han Qiushi also want his child to join the army and work hard?

Lin Xiaoxiao admires soldiers and believes that it is someone who stands up to protect the country. However, when it comes to her own child, she is prone to selfishness. As a mother, she does not want her child to be insured. If someone says that she is not broad-minded enough, she will accept it. She just wants her child to be safe and sound.

Seeing that Lin Xiaoxiao seemed quite bothered, Han Qiushi said helplessly, "It's impossible for me not to love my child. But boys have their own responsibilities and duties, and it's better to start cultivating these qualities from a young age to prevent them from going astray later."

“I love them, how could our children not love them? But they all have their own lives. Growing up in a family like ours, they enjoy privileges that others don’t have, and they also have to take on their own responsibilities.”

Lin Xiaoxiao snorted heavily: "You're already thinking about taking on responsibilities before the child is even born. That's inhuman. Sometimes, reason isn't taught through beatings, but rather through love. That's why the role of parents is especially important."

Seeing that Han Qiushi had taken so many little dresses, Lin Xiaoxiao did not make him change back. Instead, she went to the boys' section and picked out a few styles for little boys.

Bai Hehua originally wanted to pick something out too, but seeing the two talking over there, she gave up the idea of ​​buying clothes and went to another area to buy things like baby bottles and formula.

After they finished shopping and returned home, Bai Hehua was about to go into the kitchen to prepare dinner when Lin Xiaoxiao quickly stopped her, saying, "Mom, we've been shopping all afternoon in this hot weather. Let's not cook dinner tonight. Let's go out and have Peking duck together, and celebrate Qiulin's promotion."

Lin Xiaoxiao is happy today. She has plenty of money in her pocket and doesn't need to be frugal. She just wants everyone to share in her joy.

Bai Hehua was more than happy to eat at a restaurant without having to lift a finger. She immediately put down her work and started getting ready. Unlike others who hesitated to spend money when they wanted to eat out and ended up exhausting themselves.

Isn't this just forcing yourself to suffer? White Lotus would never do that.

Although she and Xia Ri took turns cooking, Lin Xiaoxiao was pregnant and wanted the food to be better, so she ended up doing more cooking than Xia Ri.

When everyone returned, the group went directly to Quanjude and booked a private room.

It's not often that we get together for a meal like this, and you can tell that everyone is in high spirits. Even Xia Ri and Han Chengjun are a bit happier. While waiting for the food, they chatted about everything under the sun. The family has a lot to talk about.

Once the roast duck arrived, the other dishes were served one after another. Everyone started wrapping the duck meat to eat. Han Qiushi first wrapped one for Lin Xiaoxiao, and then made one for himself.

"Wow, I never knew that Commander Han, who was so imposing in the army, was so good to his wife. That's great, he's a role model for all men."
