Military Marriage's Unrivaled Favor: Bringing a Planting Space to the 60s

The year isn't the 80s! Su Yan, a base owner from 2048, dozed off while driving and woke up transmigrated to 1961. She became the infatuated, delicate, and ungrateful Su Yan who was leveraging ...

Chapter 129: Preferring Sons to Daughters

Seeing that school was about to start, Jiang Lingling hurriedly came to the military compound to visit her daughter, carrying a large bag of sweaters.

Su Yan also planned to take advantage of the free time these few days to wash the base shirts, swaddles, baby mask gauze clothes, gauze diapers... sweaters that she had prepared for her children in advance with baby softener, and hang them on the clothesline in the corridor to dry in the sun.

As soon as Jiang Lingling went upstairs, she saw her daughter holding a clothespin to dry clothes, and hurried over.

"Yan Yan, put it down, mommy will dry it for you."

Su Yan turned around and saw her mother carrying a big bag, but she didn't know what was in it.

"Mom, why are you here?"

"I came to see you. Didn't you ask me to help you knit sweaters for your baby? I can knit a set of baby sweaters in four or five days. I knitted five sets for you, and the remaining large sets were knitted by the group of young nurses."

She knitted a small set for herself, and her mother knitted five more sets, making a total of six small sweaters, exactly three thin sets and three thick sets, which should be enough for changing.

The sets of clothes my mother asked someone to knit for her were a bit large in size, and they were converted from cardigans to round necks, which were just right for children one or two years old.

"Mom, have you washed these sweaters?"

"No, I didn't wash the cashmere sweater because I was afraid it would shrink."

When Su Yan was picking up yarn for her mother, she specifically picked out some cotton yarn, cashmere and cashmere yarn.

"Mom, as long as you don't use hot water, the shrinkage usually won't be too serious."

After Su Yan finished drying the clothes, she went into the house with Jiang Lingling. As soon as they entered the house, Jiang Lingling laid out the sweaters in the bag one by one.

"Yan Yan, the yarn you gave me is very soft. It's not even sold at the supply and marketing cooperatives. Look, isn't the little sweater I knitted out really pretty?"

"Well, Mom, your craftsmanship is really good. They are much more beautiful than mine. From now on, all my children's sweaters will be handed over to you."

"Okay, I'll help you knit when I'm free. I still have a few pounds of the over ten pounds of yarn you gave me last time. When I have time, I'll knit a sweater for your baby to wear when he's three or four years old."

"Don't worry, leave the wool with mom. I'll get you some thicker wool. You can knit one or two sweaters for yourself, dad, and your older brothers."

"We still have sweaters. Don't waste them. Use the wool to knit two for yourself."

Su Yan didn't care about anything else. She went back to her room and entered the space. She took out half a bag of Hengyuanxiang wool yarn in a woven bag.

"Mom, four pounds of navy blue and white yarn, three pounds of camel gray, and two pounds each of orange, ash blue, and grass green."

"Why are you giving me so much yarn again? Are you trying to tire me to death?"

"Mom, take your time knitting."

Jiang Lingling knew that her daughter's wool was taken out from that fairy cave, and she wondered if her daughter taking out so much wool would have any impact on her.

"Yan Yan, you took the things from the immortal cave. Are you feeling well?"

"No, don't worry, Mom."

"If the immortal cave disappears one day, please tell me. I'm really worried that you'll disappear with it. I, your mother, burn incense to the immortals at home on the first and fifteenth day of every month, asking them to bless you."

The Great Movement was still a few years away, and Su Yan was thinking that she had to tell her family about the disappearance of the cave before the Great Movement came. Burning incense and worshipping Buddha was taboo during the Great Movement, and she didn't want her parents to be persecuted because of this.

"Mom, when I was pregnant, I dreamed of a fairy. The fairy told me to do more good deeds. After three years, the fairy will return to the cave and will not need my help to take care of the space.

Don't worship the gods on the first and fifteenth day of the lunar month from now on, or the gods will think we are greedy and unwilling to give up that space."

"Yan Yan, you dreamed of a fairy. What does a fairy look like?"

"I couldn't see clearly, just a white shadow, white from beginning to end." Su Yan made up a story.

Jiang Lingling took it seriously, "Yan Yan, it seems like the gods are telling you in your dreams. Did they also tell you that you're carrying Wen Quxing?"

She is not Bai Suzhen, but she is pregnant with Wenquxing. Su Yan suppressed her laughter and said seriously: "No, I am pregnant with Ziweixing."

"The Purple Star has descended to earth! Oh my! My grandson is going to be the emperor!"

Su Yan burst into laughter, "Mom, it's dead early in the morning, I was just teasing you."

Jiang Lingling patted Su Yan's arm and scolded her with a smile, "You kid, you even dare to play tricks on your mother. Your dad took your pulse last time, and when you come back, tell me what you are pregnant with."

"I know that too. You told me."

"What did I tell you?"

Su Yan imitated Jiang Lingling and pinched her throat and said, "Oh, my grandson is going to be the emperor!"

Su Yan also suspected that she was pregnant with a boy because she had a dream during her pregnancy. She dreamed that she was sitting on the roof and a group of small snakes were crawling towards her. She tried to knock them with her shoes but they wouldn't stop. Then a big black python rushed over and turned into a beam of light and drilled into her belly.

Moreover, her married life with Lu Ting is very harmonious. They always reach the highest point when surfing. It is said that when a man makes a woman feel extremely happy, the cervix is ​​likely to secrete an alkaline substance, which is conducive to the movement of Y sperm and greatly increases the chance of having a son.

"Haha, you know everything. Your dad is so happy to know that you are having a boy."

"Mom, does Dad favor boys over girls?"

"Hey kid, your dad is doing this for your own good. This is how society works. No matter what era it is, a woman is always expected to give her husband a son to carry on the family line.

You don’t know, there is a nurse in our hospital who is in her thirties and gave birth to two daughters in a row. When she returned home, she was scolded by her mother-in-law and husband every day, saying that she couldn’t lay eggs like a hen.

When the man drinks, he beats the two children, and sometimes he even hits her. After beating her, he drags her into the room and forces her to have a baby with him.

"She's a domestic abuser, so why doesn't she divorce? Is that woman stupid? She has a job and children, so why does she need a man?"

"Yan Yan, she's only 30 years old. If she gets divorced, who will take care of the two children? Will she just leave them to her family? Her brothers and sisters-in-law will definitely not help her raise the children.

If she didn't want two children, what if her husband was so cruel that he sold them? Moreover, if she gave birth to two daughters in a row, people would look down on her if she got married again, unless she found a second-married man with a son.

But if she married and helped raise someone else's son, wouldn't she become a nanny? That girl was also miserable, and she was looking for famous doctors everywhere to see if there was any secret recipe for having a child.

Mom has seen a lot of things like this in the obstetrics and gynecology department. Yanyan, don't believe men's lies that boys and girls are the same."

Su Yan felt that women in this era were really sad. Whether in rural or urban areas, the preference for boys over girls was very serious. Those intellectuals said that they didn't mind if their daughter-in-law was pregnant with a girl, but they were so happy when their daughter-in-law gave birth to a son, as if they had picked up money.

Families that are extremely happy when a daughter is born usually already have several boys.

"Mom, I know."
