After Xia Enruo left, Wang Meihua pulled her son aside and asked:
"Shaoxuan, Enruo has really changed a lot. Seeing that you two are doing well, your father and I are relieved. But you've been living here for almost two years now, how come there's still no sign of pregnancy? Is she unable to conceive?"
Gu Shaoxuan was at a loss for words when asked the question.
He couldn't very well say that the two of them had never slept together, or his mother might think he was impotent.
"Mom, I have a lot of work in the army. I even asked my superior for leave today because I was worried about you coming over."
Enruo is usually busy with the shop, and I don't come back often because I live in the military base, so we rarely see each other.
But we're still young, so we're not in a rush to have children.
Gu Shaoxuan said things against his will; in his heart, he really wanted to have two babies with Xia Enruo.
Seeing that some of my comrades-in-arms of the same age already have children who are about to start elementary school, I really like children myself, but my wife said she's not ready yet.
Although I really wanted to, I prioritized respecting my wife's wishes.
"Young? What do you mean 'young'? You're almost 30, and Enruo is probably 25. When your dad and I were your age, you were already born and running around everywhere."
You young people shouldn't be into that whole "two-person world" or "enjoying life" stuff. None of those ideas promoted abroad are good.
"It's all because imperialists haven't given up their desire to destroy us; they're preparing to start a population war!"
When Wang Meihua heard that her son wasn't in a hurry to have children, she became even more anxious.
I always thought my daughter-in-law was too young and hadn't planned to have children yet, but now I didn't expect my son to think the same way. That won't do.
She was planning to take care of her grandchildren, but if things continued like this, when would she ever get to that point?
"Mom, you're exaggerating. How did you come to calling it a people's war?"
"That's what they say all the time, otherwise how would I know? Anyway, you two need to hurry up and have a child."
This is a task that must be completed. Your father and I are both looking forward to our eldest grandson. Tell Enruo to hurry up, and we'll see results next year.
Shao Ying couldn't help but laugh when she heard this; her elder brother had an important mission this time.
Gu Shaoxuan could only agree to his mother's words, but this matter was truly difficult, and there was nothing he could do but worry.
"By the way, little sister. The college entrance exam is after the New Year summer vacation. Have you decided what major you want to choose?"
Gu Shaoying sat on the sofa with a candy in her mouth and shook her head.
"Big brother, I don't really have a major I want to apply for. Mom and Dad insist that I apply for teacher training or medicine, but I don't want to study."
"What's wrong with studying to be a teacher or a doctor? You can work in sheltered conditions, have high public recognition, and enjoy high social status. What a great job!"
When it comes to majors, Wang Meihua only thinks of these two: studying a teacher training major, becoming a university teacher if she does well, and maybe even going into politics. Fortunately, her family has connections, so it wouldn't be difficult to put in a good word for her and get her a good job. But her daughter just stubbornly refuses to listen.
"If you don't want to follow either of the two things your parents mentioned, is there anything you like?"
"Hmm, I don't know either. I don't know what I like to do right now. If all else fails, I'll apply to a military academy and work in the army like my older brother."
"You dare... If you apply to military school, I'll break your legs."
Your older brother works so far away that we don't see each other for a whole year. I regret not stopping him back then.
If you apply to military school again, you'll be working far away, and it'll be hard to even see each other. Then it'll just be your father and me left. How will we old folks survive?"
"Mom, look at what you're saying, it's not that serious. When the time comes, you two can just go with my sister-in-law to the army, and my brother and I can choose between the two places."
"Anyway, it's just not going to work. I wouldn't agree to a hundred people applying to military academies."
Seeing her mother's resolute attitude, Gu Shaoying shrugged at her elder brother, pursed her lips, and said nothing more.
Gu Shaoxuan peeled an apple and placed it in his mother's hand.
"Mom, it's too early to talk about these things now. My little sister has six months. Maybe she'll figure out what she wants to choose after six months."
When Xia Enruo returned to the shop, she saw that Mao Xiangling was also there.
She helped Ge Qiuqin hang up the clothes and seemed quite excited when she saw Xia Enruo.
"Sister Enruo, it's been a long time since I've seen you. I had no classes these past two days before the holiday, and Sister Qiuqin said you went to pick up your mother-in-law."
"That's right. My mother-in-law and sister-in-law came today. I just came out of the house. You're now dating Yuan Qiang and don't even have time to come to the store to see me. You're really ungrateful for your looks."
"No way, Sister Enruo, what are you saying? I'm just here to help out at the store. Oh, by the way, there's something I need to tell you."
"What's up?"
“There is a female classmate in our class named Jiang Ting who almost committed suicide by cutting her wrists a few days ago. Fortunately, her classmates found her in the washroom in time, otherwise she really wouldn’t have survived.”
Jiang Ting and Xia Enruo still knew that after Zhao Minghui came to the store, he told her the whole story of how he was deceived and came to the store to cause trouble.
So it was her. What a karmic retribution! I didn't provoke her, so why did she have to do this to me?
"And then what happened?"
"She was rushed to the hospital and received timely treatment, so her life is no longer in danger. However, she has already dropped out of school and will probably have to go back with the next batch of students. Her family has packed up all her belongings in the dormitory."
"Oh, I see."
“Sister Enruo, aren’t you surprised? She’s usually a bit sharp-tongued, but why would she want to commit suicide? It’s really hard to understand. In my memory, she’s the only one who could drive others to suicide; she would never do it herself.”
