Jian Shu obtained a spatial dimension. Having read countless novels, she immediately hoarded supplies, preparing for transmigration or the apocalypse.
A few years later, Jian Shu had already ...
"Yes, really, I didn't lie to you." Ding Ming looked at her and answered seriously.
In fact, he had vaguely had this idea before, but he only made up his mind two days ago.
Ningning is pregnant.
This child had gone through so much hardship before he was even born, and it made him so heartbroken just thinking about it. After he was born, he would do his best to give him the best.
However, there are many people and children in the family. As a father, it is impossible for him to treat all the children in the family equally.
This is not bias, but a normal logic.
But everyone's thoughts cannot be controlled. Just as some people may have opinions about his current "stinginess", he cannot guarantee whether there will be more "opinions" in the future.
Even if there is no such thing for the time being, he doesn't want his children to be unable to express their wishes openly about what they want to eat, what they want to play, and everything they want, without having to take everything into consideration like they do now.
Brothers from the same mother will have their own thoughts, let alone cousins from different families?
As the saying goes, things smell better from a distance than up close. Staying together every day is bound to lead to various conflicts. Sometimes, keeping a proper distance may make the relationship better.
Pan Ning couldn't help but feel happy. Who would want to live with a large family if they could move out and be the head of their own household?
It's not that I have any opinions about anyone, but everyone has their own ideas and preferences, and friction is inevitable when living together.
But the smile on her face soon faded, and she looked a little nervous. "What about my parents..."
Although her parents-in-law are nice people, the older generation can't help but have some ideas that a harmonious family brings prosperity and more people bring joy. Can they agree with this?
"Don't worry, I'll talk to my parents." Ding Ming hugged her and sat on the bed and explained, "Before I got married, my family never split up. Now that you're pregnant, there are more and more people in the family. I think my parents are also thinking about this."
"Divide the family?" Pan Ning didn't expect him to bring this up suddenly.
Originally, she just wanted her family to move out and live separately, but she didn't expect that her in-laws actually wanted to split up the family.
Ding Ming nodded, "Yes, we're going to split up. There are more and more people in the family, and we have to split up sooner or later. My parents are not the kind of people who want us all to be around."
If he were to tell her, his parents would have probably kicked them all out a long time ago. After all, while more people is more fun, there are also bound to be trivial matters. Now thinking about her mother's way of doing things, she must have been fed up with it for a long time.
"Also, I heard from my dad that the company is planning to build a new family compound. My brothers and sisters have been working for a long time and have positions and qualifications. There's a high possibility that they will be assigned one. This is a good opportunity to split up the family."
It was also bad luck for his brother and his family. The last time they were allocated housing, they were all young people who had only been working for a few years. They had no experience or status, and they were no match for their colleagues with more experience. In addition, housing was not in short supply at the time, so no one could catch up.
This time it's different. I have the qualifications and some status. In addition, there are more and more children in my family and housing is becoming tight. There is a high probability that I will get a place.
It would be strange if his parents didn't take this opportunity to kick everyone out. Who doesn't want a quiet life? Even if his sisters-in-law were to choose, no one would not want to move to a new house.
Sometimes it’s not that you want to care, but the environment forces you to care.
"However, I probably didn't pay attention to the room allocation this time. I'm sorry." Thinking of this, Ding Ming said apologetically.
In the past, he didn't think there was anything wrong with just slacking off at work. Isn't it enough to just get the work done? Why work so hard? Just live a comfortable life. But now, he regrets his previous lack of progress.
Otherwise, they would be the only ones who would move to the new house this time.
Pan Ning was still pondering the division of the family property. When she heard his somewhat depressed voice, she quickly stroked his cheek and said with a smile, "What's there to be sorry about? Are you the only one who didn't get a share of the house?"
Ding Ming shook his head. There weren't many people getting rooms this time, most of them were like his brother.
"That's it, isn't it? There are so many people who didn't get a house. Does that mean everyone has to apologize? There aren't so many houses to go around. There will always be people who don't get one." Pan Ning said softly.
Besides, she knew his character before she married him. Why would she bother arguing about it now?
"Ningning, you are so nice." Ding Ming was immediately moved.
Ever since the news of the house construction was leaked, he has heard many complaints from his colleagues, saying that their wives at home are not satisfied and scolding him for being incompetent. He asked why others can get a share but you can't.
Many families have argued about this at home, which is why he didn't dare to tell Pan Ning a few days ago. Being scolded was a small matter for him, but she had just gotten pregnant and was still a little weak, and he was worried that her anger would be bad for her health.
He had never expected Pan Ning to react like this, and he couldn't help feeling a little ashamed. He had misunderstood her.
"Alright." Pan Ning pushed him away helplessly and got back to the point: "Since we can't get a house, how do we move out? Where can we find a house?"
Now every household is short of houses, where is the extra space for them to move to?
Thinking of this, she said again: "If it really doesn't work, let's not move. There is enough space at home for the two of us to live in, even after the baby is born."
As for the future, she didn't say anything. Who knows what it will be like then? Maybe Ding Ming will be able to get a separate room by then.
"Don't worry, even though it's hard to find a house, it doesn't mean there aren't any. If you keep looking, you'll always find one." Ding Ming comforted him, "If we really can't find one, we'll do as you say."
That being said, Ding Ming was still inclined to move out. She had noticed during this period that Pan Ning didn't like staying at home. He was always hesitant and worried, completely different from when he was at her house.
Although I can get used to it slowly if I keep living like this, the process will definitely not be pleasant.
Besides, his brothers have all moved out, and he is the only one left at home, which makes people think a lot.
Pan Ning knew that Ding Ming knew a lot of people privately and had many connections, but she had never asked about it. Now that she heard him say this, she didn't ask any more questions.
"Okay, you can try looking for her first, but if you really can't find her, don't force it. The most important thing is that she's well. As long as we're together, we can live anywhere."
Ding Ming understood the hidden meaning in her words, reached out and rubbed her head, hugged her and said, "Don't worry, I know."
He never joked about himself, let alone with her, and in a few months, their child.
Pan Ning curled up in his arms, put her arms around her waist, and put her face against his chest. She listened to the steady and strong heartbeat in her ears and silently enjoyed the tranquility of the moment.
