Su Yan laughed angrily, as if she was being stingy and not letting him eat enough. Even if she gave him an extra spoonful of rice each time, the boy still insisted on eating two bowls, so Su Yan had to serve him less each time.

She couldn't even finish two bowls of rice. How old was he? If he kept eating like this, wouldn't he become a glutton?

"Yiming is a little fat, and Shuangshuang's little cousin is two years older than you but he doesn't look as big as you."

Lu Fengnian smiled and said, "Being able to eat is a blessing. My son Yiming is going to be a soldier when he grows up. If he eats more, he will grow up to be as tall and big as his father."

"Grandpa, I want to fly a plane when I grow up. My dad is only a little over 1.8 meters tall, so I will definitely be 2 meters tall when I grow up."

"Haha, if you're two meters tall, you can't fly a plane. Pilots can't be taller than 1.85 meters."

"Then I will grow to 1.85 meters, no longer. I want to be the tallest pilot."

Lu Shu was full of envy. How come her brother's son knew so much? Her Xiaoshuang was obviously older than Yiming, but he just cried and made a fuss.

After dinner, Lu Shu carried her son to find Lu Ting and said, "Brother, I have something I want to discuss with you."

"What's up?"

"I heard from Mom that you bought a big house. Can you rent me two rooms?"

"Have you discussed this with your brother-in-law? Did he agree?"

"I didn't tell him about this. You know I have so many children. We are a family of five crammed into a small room. If we have another one, there won't even be room to turn around."

Lu Ting also knew his sister's current situation. She lived in an old two-bedroom, one-living-room house allocated by the sugar factory with her parents-in-law. Her brother-in-law's brother and sister-in-law lived alone in another allocated house.

Their courtyard house is large, and he definitely won't rent out the big building in the main courtyard, which is usually locked. There are more than a dozen rooms in the front and back courtyards. One family moved out of the east courtyard, and there are still three side rooms that have not been rented out. It's no problem for my sister to live there for a few years, but I'm afraid they will bring their in-laws to live with us.

"If you move in, do your parents-in-law have to move in too? If they do, do we have to give back the two rooms allocated by the factory? Or do we give them to your eldest brother and his wife? Our house is a bit far from your sugar factory. Think it over carefully before you talk to me."

Lu Shu was also stumped. Not to mention how far the factory was from her brother's house, if they really moved out, would her parents-in-law's house become her eldest brother and sister-in-law's?

No, we have to squeeze in a little bit. We can't give up the house no matter what. Besides, renting a house costs money. It's better to save more money and buy a small house for my son so that he can get married.

"Brother, the house is no longer rented. Don't mention this to Shuangshuang's father."

"You guys should work hard, don't have any more children, save more money, and find a way to buy a small house for yourself in the future."

"Brother, I still want to have a son. My eldest sister-in-law has already given birth to two sons."

"Why are you competing with others in childbearing? Women age faster if they have more children. Three children are more than enough for you to support, yet you still have more, aren't you worried about not being able to support them? What if the fourth child is also a girl? Are you going to have a fifth or sixth child?"

"My mom gave birth to five, and there's a family in our sugar factory who gave birth to eight..."

Lu Ting was speechless. He didn't know if his sister was out of her mind. She was so tired from work every day, and all she thought about was having children and having more sons. Could having so many sons really feed her?

"Look at those who have a lot of children. If a few of them are having a good time, then having two or three more is enough. Raise them well, and if they become successful, your life will be easier when you are old.

If you keep giving birth to a lot of children and don't nurture them, what's the point of having a bunch of useless ones?"

Lu Shu's face changed, "Brother..."

"If you don't want me to sound harsh, then treat Qin Shuang and Qin Xue well. You should also educate your daughters well. Don't just favor your sons and only care about your sons with good things.

Look at my family. My parents don't favor sons over daughters. I wonder where you learned to treat your children differently. Look at your sister-in-law's family. They treat their daughters especially well.

Your sister-in-law is also very successful, she even went to college and now works in a hospital..."

Lu Ting talked a lot, and Su Yan stood outside the door, not knowing whether she should push the door open and go in. In order to avoid embarrassment, she turned around and left.

As soon as Su Yan left, Lu Ting opened the door. Lu Shu came out with red eyes. Seeing her daughter crying, Hua Min asked Lu Ting, "It's New Year's Day, what are you doing?"

"Nothing, I just said a few words to her. Mom, you should also persuade my sister. She doesn't even have enough room at home, and she actually wants to have two more sons."

Hua Min felt a little embarrassed. In this day and age, every family has four or five children, but her son and daughter-in-law didn't want to have any more. Yiming was already four years old, and he didn't have any brothers or sisters.

"Your sister also wants to gain a foothold in her husband's family. Well, there's no need to argue over such a small matter during the New Year."

Around eight o'clock, Lu Ting took the child back to his room to sleep. When the child fell asleep, Su Yan asked, "Comrade Lu Ting, why did you argue with your sister?"

Speaking of this, Lu Ting was furious. "She learned from her mother that we bought a big house and she wanted to rent two rooms and move out."

Su Yan also knew that it was indeed a bit inconvenient for Lu Shu's family of five to squeeze into one room. It didn't matter who the house was rented to, as long as they paid the rent. Anyway, they didn't plan to move in within the next ten years. They would move back in the 1980s when she bought a car.

"They have so many children that it's a bit crowded to share one room. It's not so bad now. The younger ones can sleep in the same bed with their parents. Shuangshuang and Xiaoxue can get them a small bed to squeeze into the room, but it will be inconvenient if they grow up a little bit."

Lu Ting was also melancholy. He only had this one sister, and he would definitely help her if he could.

"Well, their factory buildings are all tube-shaped buildings. The eldest son of the Qin family has five children and only has two rooms. It is impossible for my parents-in-law to move in with the eldest son."

"Then what exactly are you arguing with them about? If Lu Shu wants to rent a house, then let her do it. We can waive rent for a year or half a year, but if she stays for seven or eight years, we'll still have to charge her more or less."

Brothers and sisters can help each other, but they cannot be taken advantage of and continue to suck their blood.

"I persuaded her to give up. Our home is far from the sugar factory, and it's not convenient for her to commute to work. Her children are still young, and if she wants to move here, she'll have to bring her parents-in-law with her.

As soon as they left, the factory houses were either repossessed or taken over by Boss Qin's family. She's not stupid, so she definitely wouldn't rent a house."

"They can set up a bunk bed in the living room, with Xiaoshuang and Xiaoxue sleeping on the top and Siming sleeping on the bottom."

"Convince her tomorrow that Xiaoshuang and Xiaoxue are old enough and should move to the living room to sleep.

You don’t know that my sister actually thinks one son is too few and wants to have another one. The eldest son of the Qin family has two sons, and one is too few for them.

Su Yan didn't expect that Lu Shu would have such a serious preference for boys over girls because she gave birth to two daughters in a row. From the way she bossed Xiaoshuang and Xiaoxue around, it was clear that she didn't care much about these two girls.

On the contrary, the brother-in-law is quite nice to the eldest daughter Qin Shuang. The most pitiful one is the sandwich Qin Xue, who is liked by neither her father nor her mother.
