Chapter 91 Graduation: The baby is already one month old
“I…” Amelia Su didn’t expect Mother Su to say this. They said this in the corridor of the hospital.
"We want to bring Yaozu to you. Yaozu is still sleeping here with us. Shanshan has to go back to sleep." Su's mother said, "That room is still empty..."
"We plan to let Yaozu sleep there." Su Yamei said, "It's not a good idea for a boy to sleep in a room that a girl has slept in before..."
"You are a woman yourself." Su's mother said, "Let Shanshan sleep in that room first."
"Let's get Shanshan a bed in the living room and let her sleep there." Amelia Su said, "The things in that room belong to her brother, and for other things, we..."
"Amelia Su, is Shanshan your biological daughter?" Mother Su said, "Your grandmother is like this, and you asked you to take Shanshan back to live, but you are talking nonsense. If she really wants to sleep in the living room, should we let you take her back to sleep? Yaozu is only a little old, when Yaozu is older, Shanshan will be in junior high school. At that time, you let Shanshan live in the school, and let her sleep in the living room during holidays. Now, Yaozu is so young, do you want Shanshan to resent you for the rest of her life? You would rather leave the house empty than let Shanshan live there? You bought someone else's old house, and it is not necessarily the case that the man slept in this room before."
Mother Su really couldn’t stand what Amelia Su said, “When I gave birth to your brother, I didn’t tell you three sisters to sleep in the living room, I still let you sleep in the room. It was because your brother was getting married that your little sister slept in the living room.”
"I……"
"I'm asking you, is Shanshan your biological daughter, or is Shanshan a child you picked up from outside?" Mother Su said, "Shanshan looks so much like you, how could she not be your daughter? If others saw that you would rather leave the room empty than let Shanshan sleep, but let Shanshan sleep in the living room, what would those people think? Amelia Su, are you still a mother?"
“I didn’t say she is not my daughter, it’s just…Okay, let her sleep in the room, let her sleep in the room.” Amelia Su said.
Neither Su's mother nor Su Yamei knew that Wei Shanshan was in the corner.
Mrs. Su San came to bring food to Mrs. Su, and Wei Shanshan wanted to come over to take a look, so Mrs. Su San brought Wei Shanshan with her, which was considered to be a filial piety. But they didn't expect Amelia Su to say such words to Su's mother. Mrs. Su San looked at Wei Shanshan, poor child. Fortunately, Amelia Su agreed to let Wei Shanshan sleep in that room, at least when Wei Shanshan is in junior high school, she can sleep in the living room. Maybe by that time, Amelia Su will make money and think about moving to a bigger house.
Even if Amelia Su and her husband did not change houses by then, Wei Shanshan usually lived in school, and she spent less time at home, so it would be much easier.
Mrs. Su did not take Wei Shanshan over immediately, but waited for five or six minutes before taking Wei Shanshan over. Mrs. Su did not want Amelia Su to know that she and Wei Shanshan had heard that conversation. Wei Shanshan's eyes were slightly red, but it was nothing. Old Mrs. Su was sick, so Wei Shanshan would of course be sad.
"Why are you here?" Amelia Su frowned when she saw Wei Shanshan in the ward.
"Shanshan was worried about grandma and wanted to come along, so I brought her here. I'll take her back later." said Mrs. Su.
"That's great. I'll go back with you." Amelia Su said, "By the way, help Shanshan pack up. Shanshan will live with us in the future. There's an empty room. Her brother is still young, so let her live there first."
Amelia Su was reluctant, but her mother had already spoken, so she couldn't really let Wei Shanshan sleep in the living room. Her mother would go to Amelia Su's place, and if she saw Wei Shanshan sleeping in the living room, she would probably have something to say.
"Live with your mother?" Wei Shanshan asked.
"Live with mom and dad." Amelia Su said, "Go back and pack your things. You have to take your textbooks and clothes back. Grandma is old, so you don't need to sleep with your great-grandma. Go back and sleep at home."
Su Xueqing came to see Old Madam Su with a big belly, supported by Ning Yanjing. When she came over, Amelia Su and Third Sister-in-law Su had already taken Wei Shanshan back.
"Mom, grandma is in the hospital, why didn't you tell me?" Su Xueqing said, "I was the last to know."
"You are pregnant and your belly is big, and your grandma doesn't want you to come." Su's mother said, "The doctor said that there is no big problem. You can be discharged from the hospital after two days of observation. Don't worry or get excited."
"That's my grandma." Su Xueqing said, "Mom, you don't have to hide it from me. It's not like I can't come over."
"It's the same if you go home to see a doctor." Su's mother said, "You are about to give birth, don't run around, don't get sick. A pregnant woman's weak body will also affect the baby, understand?"
"Yes, I..."
"Xueqing, you go back first." Old Mrs. Su was lying on the hospital bed. "Grandma is fine. She is in good health."
"grandmother……"
"Be obedient." Old Madam Su looked at Ning Yanjing, "Ning Yanjing, take Xueqing back, go back now."
Ning Yanjing put the fruit basket aside. After listening to Old Lady Su speaking so seriously, he walked to Su Xueqing again.
"We've seen it all, let's go back." said Mrs. Su.
"grandmother……"
"I said, go back." Old Mrs. Su waved her hand.
"Let's go back first." Ning Yanjing said. Old Mrs. Su was concerned about Su Xueqing. If Su Xueqing continued to stay here, Old Mrs. Su would be in a bad mood, which would affect her health.
"Grandma, Mom, we're going back first." Su Xueqing said, "If there's anything, tell us."
Ning Yanjing stuffed the red envelope into Mrs. Su's hand, and then he helped Su Xueqing leave. Mrs. Su didn't say she didn't want the red envelope, but she had to push it back and forth with Ning Yanjing, and finally she had to accept the red envelope, so that she wouldn't waste time.
After Mrs. Su was discharged from the hospital, when Ning Yanjing went to visit Mrs. Su, he learned that Wei Shanshan had moved to Su Yamei's house. After Su's mother went back home at night, she helped Wei Shanshan clean up the room. She was sure that Wei Shanshan slept in the room, and then she felt relieved.
Su Xueqing sighed when she heard what Ning Yanjing said.
"My eldest sister bought a house, but that house has been empty for quite some time." Su Xueqing said, "If my eldest sister really wants to save face, she shouldn't wait for mom to ask. She should take the initiative to let Shanshan live in that empty room. Wei Yaozu is so young, and he still sleeps with adults."
Su's mother naturally couldn't say so much in front of Ning Yanjing. Su Xueqing had heard from Amelia Su and Su Yanan before. Amelia Su herself said that she would leave the room to Wei Yaozu, as if her son was the boss.
There are some things that others cannot say, but Su's mother can still say a few words.
"Grandma is so old. I'm not saying that Shanshan's sleeping posture is bad at night." Su Xueqing said, "It's just that when people get old, they are more likely to have more things to do. If they meet sensible people, they won't blame Shanshan, a little kid. If they meet unreasonable people, they will blame Shanshan. Those people outside don't care what the truth is. They just like to talk nonsense. It's most appropriate to let Shanshan live with my eldest sister."
"Mom has already arranged everything." Ning Yanjing said, "You don't have to worry about it."
"I don't worry about it." Su Xueqing said, "Have you packed everything?"
"Pack up and go to the hospital tomorrow." Ning Yanjing said.
Su Xueqing was about to give birth, so she had to go to the hospital to wait for delivery, so as not to be in a rush when the baby was born. Su Xueqing was having her first child, so it was better for her to stay in the hospital a few days in advance. Su Xueqing did not go to see Mrs. Su in person because she was really pregnant and it was not easy for her to go. When she went to the hospital, Mrs. Su asked her to leave quickly.
The next day, Su Xueqing and Ning Yanjing went to the hospital in the afternoon and had lunch at home before going there. Ning Yanjing had money, so he got a single room and hired a nurse to prevent Su Xueqing from having any problems when the nurse was not there.
Ning Yanjing peeled a banana for Su Xueqing and asked her to eat more. Su Xueqing's belly was not very big. When they walked in the corridor, they saw that other pregnant women had bigger bellies.
When Su's mother knew that Su Xueqing had been admitted to the hospital early, she went to the hospital.
"Mom, the baby hasn't been born yet." Su Xueqing said.
"I know you haven't given birth yet, so I came to see you first." Su's mother said.
"Is grandma okay?" Su Xueqing asked.
"Well, your grandma is fine." Su's mother said, "She is much better now. She can go out for more walks and eat more."
"That's good." Su Xueqing said.
"Come here." Head Nurse Wu came over and saw Su's mother.
"Godmother." Su Xueqing said.
"Don't worry, everything is fine." Head Nurse Wu said, "Wait two days, the baby will be born soon."
Head Nurse Wu did not say that the baby of the woman next door was not in good condition, but that the natural birth turned into a caesarean section. The woman and her in-laws were not happy about the birth of a daughter, saying how could a girl be born and how could a girl be so troublesome.
"Godmother, are you going to change shifts?" Su Xueqing asked.
"It's almost time for the shift to change," said Head Nurse Wu. "I told them to keep an eye on you."
Ning Yanjing donated money to the hospital. The hospital leaders also valued Amelia Su and could not let Amelia Su have an accident in the hospital. Otherwise, wouldn't the donation be in vain? Although the money has been deposited into the hospital's account, they can't help but pay attention to it, and they don't have so many requirements.
Su's mother went out with Head Nurse Wu, and Ning Yanjing looked at Su Xueqing.
Head Nurse Wu changed her clothes and walked out of the hospital with Su's mother.
"Xueqing really doesn't gain weight." Head Nurse Wu said, "When you were pregnant with Xueqing, your belly didn't seem to be big. It got bigger when you were pregnant with the previous ones. Look at other pregnant women in the hospital, their bellies are also bigger."
"She has been like this since she was a child. Even if you let her eat more, she won't gain much weight." Su's mother said.
"As long as she gets the proper nutrition and stays healthy, she'll be fine," said Head Nurse Wu. "When I first saw Xueqing, she was still a tiny baby. Now she's about to become a mother."
"That's right." Mother Su said with a smile, "Time flies by so fast."
"It's just a blink of an eye." Head Nurse Wu said, "I'm about to retire."
"Retire?" Su's mother said, "I see you are still very skillful."
"Yes, we can still work." Head Nurse Wu said, "We nurses have to move around and take care of patients. We can't just sit there. Doctors can still sit in the outpatient clinic to see patients, but we mostly make rounds and give patients injections. When we get older and our eyesight is not good, we have to retire. We can't be in our seventies or eighties and still occupy the toilet without doing anything, just taking money without working, and not letting the next person in line come up."
Head Nurse Wu did not have such an idea. She had to step down when it was time to do so and let others take over. Hospital work is different from factory work. Family members cannot take over the work. Hospital staff need more relevant knowledge.
"When you retire, we can meet more often and talk more." Su's mother said, "When we are at work, we don't have much time to chat. You often work shifts, so you have even less time."
"There's nothing we can do about it," said Head Nurse Wu. "That's how work is."
"We were still very young when we met," said Su's mother.
"When I was young, I had a lot of energy. I could still go out and play even when I was on shift," said head nurse Wu. "It's not the case now. I don't have the strength I had when I was young."
When Su's mother returned home, old lady Su was sitting in the living room. The old lady had just gone out for a walk.
"How is Xueqing? Is she okay?" asked Old Mrs. Su.
"Fortunately, she is in the hospital, waiting to give birth." Su's mother said, "She is in a single room, and she has hired a nurse. Her son-in-law is also there."
"Someone has to be there." Old Madam Su said, "When Xueqing gives birth, you have to be there too."
It’s not that Old Lady Su doesn’t trust the Ning family. It’s better for a woman to have her family present when she gives birth. “Giving birth is very painful.” Old Lady Su thought about her delicate little granddaughter giving birth, and she didn’t know if she could bear the pain.
"Don't worry, Xueqing is a strong person." Su's mother said.
"Some people cry loudly when giving birth." Old Mrs. Su said, "If you don't have time to cry, you can use more strength to give birth."
"Xueqing will be fine." Su's mother said, "I'll go there tomorrow. I also told them that if we're not there when Xueqing gives birth, they should call us."
At night, Amelia Su took Wei Yaozu back home, and Wei Shanshan did not come to Su's house. Amelia Su asked Wei Shanshan to go to school by herself. As a girl, as long as Wei Shanshan herself did not scare others away, it would not be easy for her to be abducted by human traffickers. The school was nearby, very close, but not too far away.
Amelia Su asked Wei Shanshan to get up early, brush her teeth and wash her face, and then carry her schoolbag to the breakfast shop to get breakfast. She could go to school or eat on the way. At noon, Amelia Su went back early to cook, so Wei Shanshan could also eat lunch at home, not to mention dinner.
Su Yamei thought that since she had asked Wei Shanshan to stay at home, she should not trouble her family too much, so that Su Yanan would not say that she had thrown the two children to her family and ignored them. Wei Shanshan also helped with the cleaning at home, and she washed her own clothes.
"You still have to go to the hospital tomorrow?" Amelia Su asked, "Isn't it that she hasn't given birth yet?"
"It's just these few days." Su's mother said, "Someone has to accompany my mother's family."
“When I gave birth…well, my mother’s family was indeed with me.” Amelia Su said.
"You gave birth in the countryside, so we had to send someone over." Su's mother said, "Without your family, we were afraid something might happen to you."
Amelia Su couldn't tell her mother not to go to the hospital tomorrow. She couldn't just let her biological mother care about herself and not let her biological mother care about other daughters.
When Amelia Su returned home, she opened the door of Wei Shanshan's room. She saw Wei Shanshan doing homework, so she didn't go in.
“I don’t know if he’s really doing his homework, sitting in front of the table.” Amelia Su said.
"She's doing her homework." Wei Dashan said, "She just took a shower and washed her own clothes."
Wei Dashan watched Wei Shanshan wash clothes and did not ask Wei Shanshan not to wash clothes. In their countryside, there are indeed little girls who start working when they are very young. If Wei Dashan asked Wei Shanshan not to wash clothes, Amelia Su would be unhappy, and Wei Dashan did not want to make Amelia Su unhappy.
Su Yamei washes most of the clothes at home, and Wei Dashan sometimes rubs them. When he was in the countryside, Wei Dashan often worked in the fields, and there was a lot of dirt on his clothes. He had to rub the clothes himself before letting Su Yamei wash them, otherwise, Su Yamei would curse and say why the clothes were so dirty. Wei Dashan simply washed the clothes himself to save Su Yamei from having to wash them.
After coming to the city, the clothes were a little cleaner and easier to wash, and Amelia Su didn’t always curse when she washed clothes.
"She's so old now, she should wash her own clothes." Su Yamei said, "She's lucky, she can sleep in a room by herself. As far as I can remember, I either lived with my second sister or went to the countryside as an educated youth. When I was an educated youth, I slept in a big bunk bed."
When Amelia Su thought about her past life, she felt that Wei Shanshan had lived too comfortably. Wei Shanshan had a room to herself, and Su's mother and others were very considerate of Wei Shanshan.
Maybe the child was anxious to come out and didn't want her mother to stay in the hospital all the time. On the second day of Su Xueqing's stay in the hospital, she gave birth. Su Xueqing's birth was relatively smooth, and she gave birth to a girl.
Su's mother went there early in the morning and the child was born in the evening.
When Su's mother learned that Su Xueqing gave birth to a girl, she deliberately looked at the expressions of Ning Yanjing and other people in the Ning family, fearing that these people would be dissatisfied.
Ning Yanjing was not dissatisfied at all, he was very happy.
"That's great, it's a little niece." Ning Jiaxuan was so happy that she almost jumped up, "Little Yuhao was so happy that he couldn't stop talking about his sister."
"Hello, girl." Ning's mother's face was filled with smiles, without the slightest bit of unhappiness, "Hello, girl."
Ning Yanjing thought about going to see Su Xueqing first and let Ning's mother and others take care of the children.
"Go, go see Xueqing first." Seeing that Ning Yanjing was so anxious, Ning's mother naturally couldn't ask Ning Yanjing to see the child first.
Su Xueqing didn't fall asleep, but she felt tired. Her family made soup for her. Su Xueqing saw Ning Yanjing, but she didn't see the child coming back, so she wasn't in a hurry. When she just gave birth to the child, the nurse held the child and let Su Xueqing take a look.
"It's a girl." Su Xueqing said.
"She will be a beautiful little princess in the future." Ning Yanjing said.
"Have you seen the child?" Su Xueqing asked.
"I took a look." Ning Yanjing said, "I have to come and see you."
When Su's mother saw that the Ning family had prepared everything, she glanced at Su Xueqing and went back first. When the Su family learned that Su Xueqing had given birth to a daughter, they asked about the Ning family's attitude.
"They all like their daughter very much." said Su's mother.
"Are you pretending?" asked Old Mrs. Su.
"It doesn't look like he's pretending." said Su's mother.
"That's right. Sister Xueqing gave birth to two sons." Old Madam Su said, "Xueqing's husband always said he wanted a daughter. It seems that they really like girls."
If the Ning family clearly stated that they liked boys, and Su Xueqing gave birth to a girl, it might not be a good thing. The Su family would have to worry about whether the Ning family would treat Su Xueqing badly. The Ning family said early on that they liked girls, so they must really like girls.
"Xueqing and her husband said long ago that they would only have one child," said Su's mother. "It complies with the national family planning policy."
Brother Ning works in the relevant department, so Ning Yanjing naturally cannot do anything that violates the family planning policy, let alone dividing the family, which will have a bad impact after all.
Su Xueqing had a normal birth, and she stayed in the hospital for two more days before being discharged. There was a special person to take care of Su Xueqing's confinement, so Su's mother didn't need to help Su Xueqing with confinement, but Su's mother still went to see Su Xueqing.
"Mom, you don't have to come here all the time. You have to take care of my third brother's children and my eldest sister's children." Su Xueqing said, "Grandma has just recovered from her illness not long ago. Don't let her suffer too much."
"Let Yanan go over and help. I'll come over to take a look." Mother Su said, "Yanan will come over to see you tomorrow."
"Okay." Su Xueqing said, "Is Second Sister convenient?"
"Her mother-in-law is here, and she has relatives here. If she is asked to help for a few days, she will still be able to help." Su's mother said, "With such a close relationship, how dare she not help?"
Su Xueqing didn't have much milk, so her family bought milk powder for her child, and the child drank both breast milk and milk powder.
"My mother-in-law has been here these days." Su Xueqing said, "Brother Xiao Yuhao has also come to see my sister. They all like my sister very much."
"It's their business for them to come here, and we have to come over as well." Mother Su said, "It's better to come over and take a look, so that we can feel at ease."
"Come here, come here." Su Xueqing said, "I didn't tell you not to come."
"It's always good to have someone at home watching over you." Su's mother said.
"Yes, yes." Su Xueqing said, "Don't worry, I'm fine, and the child is fine too."
At this time, Aunt Li brought food over and asked Su Xueqing to eat something first. The Ning family was not stingy with Su Xueqing at all. They bought chicken, fish maw, and various supplements that Su Xueqing could eat, asking Su Xueqing to eat more. Women lose a lot when giving birth, so they have to eat.
"Eat quickly." said Su's mother.
The food that Aunt Li brought had been cold for a while, not very hot, so Su Xueqing could eat it directly. Su Xueqing couldn't eat pig's feet, and the Ning family didn't let her eat more pig's feet. The child didn't have enough milk to eat, and it wasn't that she couldn't buy patience. Now is not a special period. Now you can buy those things directly if you have money, without being restricted.
"If you keep eating like this, you'll get fat." Su Xueqing said.
"I didn't see you gain weight when you were pregnant. How much more fat can you get now that you've given birth?" Mother Su said, "Eat more. You lost so much blood during childbirth. How can you not eat?"
"I'm eating now." Su Xueqing said, "I'm not not eating."
"Many families don't even have a pumpkin to eat during the confinement period, let alone the things you eat." Su's mother said, "If you have something to eat, you have to eat more. You can't not eat. Even if you don't want to eat, you have to make yourself eat, understand? Only by taking good care of yourself during the confinement period can you get better. If you don't take good care of yourself during the confinement period, you will suffer for the rest of your life."
"Yes, yes." Su Xueqing said. She was also afraid that she had not taken good care of herself after the confinement. She took the supplements that the doctor told her to take. If the doctor said it was okay, Su Xueqing would take it.
After Su's mother left, Ning Yanjing returned home and went to see Su Xueqing.
"Have you eaten?" Ning Yanjing asked.
Recently, Ning Yanjing slept on the sofa in the room. Their room was big. Su Xueqing meant that it would be better for Ning Yanjing to sleep in the next room. Ning Yanjing said that if she needed it at night, it would be better for him to sleep here. The sofa was wide and not small. Ning Yanjing could sleep lying down. He insisted on doing so, so Su Xueqing did not stop him.
"I've eaten, I've eaten a lot." Su Xueqing said, "When you see me, you always ask me if I've eaten."
"The most important thing now is to eat more." Ning Yanjing said, "We will take care of the child, you have to take good care of your body."
"Well, yes." Su Xueqing said.
The next morning, Su Yanan and Su Yamei came to see Amelia Su together. Su Yamei didn't want to come alone, so she made a special appointment with Su Yanan. Su Yanan would come whenever she wanted.
Sister Su Yamei brought some eggs, and both brought the same. Su Yanan knew that Su Xueqing was not short of money, so she did not give Su Xueqing any extra money, but only told Su Xueqing to eat well.
Su Yanan kept an eye on Amelia Su all the time to prevent Amelia Su from saying something she shouldn’t say.
"If it's a girl, it's okay, the next one..."
"Sister." Su Yanan stopped Amelia Su from continuing, "Their family likes girls. I have said before that girls are good. My brother-in-law's eldest brother and sister-in-law gave birth to two sons, and now they want a girl."
"The son belongs to their eldest brother and sister-in-law..."
"They are all the same, both have the surname Ning." Su Yanan said, "Sister, don't you still have to go back to take care of Yaozu? Go back early, I will go with you and visit grandma at the same time."
Su Yanan signaled to Su Xueqing to pull her elder sister away first.
“That’s just a few words.” Amelia Su said.
"Let's go, let's go." Su Yanan said, "Your Yaozu likes to stick to you so much."
"That's right, my Yaozu..." Amelia Su was talking about how good Wei Yaozu was.
After closing the door, Amelia Su didn't hear what Amelia Su said. She couldn't help but shook her head gently. Her elder sister still valued her son so much. It would be great if her elder sister could value Wei Shanshan a little more. Wei Shanshan was also pitiful. She had to rely on others to help her fight for what she had. Wei Shanshan was too young and she couldn't fight for those things herself.
When Amelia Su walked down the stairs, she was still talking about her family's Yaozu. When Ning's mother heard what Amelia Su said, she didn't say much. Anyway, her family didn't have the idea of favoring boys over girls. The important thing was that their family only had one granddaughter, and this granddaughter was very precious.
Ning's mother gave Su Yamei and her sister some things in accordance with custom and asked them to take them back. Ning's mother did not try to keep Su Yamei and her sister, but Su Yamei kept talking about Yaozu, so she should not keep it. Ning's mother was afraid that she would be unhappy, so she said directly: What is Yaozu?
Mother Ning was afraid that Amelia Su had said something she shouldn’t have in front of Amelia Su, so she went upstairs to see Amelia Su on purpose.
"We are in need of girls. Don't listen to their nonsense." Ning's mother said, "We don't need you to have a second child. This one is enough. We are both girls, and you were able to enter the Architectural Design Institute, right? This shows that girls are not bad, and are no worse than boys."
"My eldest sister went to the countryside as an educated youth. The villagers all liked boys, so she was greatly influenced by them." Su Xueqing said, "My second sister is quite nice to the girls in the family."
"Yes." Ning's mother nodded. "You don't have to think too much. Our family wants a daughter. Raise her well. That's what's important. You still have to defend your thesis and attend the graduation ceremony."
"Okay." Su Xueqing said, "Mom, the baby is sleeping again, is there any problem?"
"All children are like this." Ning's mother said, "They don't have a fever, and there's nothing growing on their bodies. Don't worry, there are professionals watching them."
Su Xueqing is a new mother. She doesn’t understand those things and is worried that there is something wrong with her child. She heard that children are prone to jaundice.
"Rest assured and have a good rest," said Ning's mother. "It is more important than anything else to take good care of yourself after the baby is born."
Ning's mother went downstairs quickly without disturbing Su Xueqing's rest.
On the way back, Su Yanan reminded Su Amelia, "Sister, don't always talk about Yaozu Yaozu in front of my younger sister. Yaozu is your son, we all know that. My younger sister's in-laws didn't think about having a son, they just wanted a daughter."
"My brother-in-law's family is rich and powerful, in the future..."
"Let our daughter inherit from now on." Su Yanan said, "My brother-in-law has already said in front of my parents that the things should be inherited by our daughter, not our nephew. Big sister, don't treat everyone like you. They really don't need sons, they want daughters. Their family is not comparable to ours."
"I……"
"Everyone else is so happy, but you are the only one saying something to spoil the fun." Su Yanan said, "That's because my younger sister's in-laws aren't there... No, we just ran into her mother-in-law when we went downstairs. She heard what you said, no wonder she wasn't happy."
Su Yanan wanted to drag Amelia Su away quickly, but Ning's mother did not keep them, which was enough to explain the problem.
"Don't compare you with my younger sister all the time." Su Yanan said, "Others are living in the new era, but you are still living in the old era."
“I just said a few words.” Amelia Su said.
"Are those just a few sentences?" Su Yanan asked, "Several sentences. You are showing off your son. I can understand that, and you know it in your heart."
“Forget it, forget it, I won’t say it anymore, I won’t say it anymore.” Amelia Su said, “You and my little sister are just venting your anger on the same person.”
"I told you this because I thought you were my elder sister." Su Yanan said, "Don't offend others carelessly."
“No more talking.” Amelia Su waved her hand.
"You've already said a lot just now." Su Yanan said, "Don't stop talking every time you say something you shouldn't say."
Su Yanan thought that it would be best for Amelia Su to hope that Wei Yaozu would grow up well, achieve some success, and know how to be filial to his parents. If Wei Yaozu grew up ugly, haha, Su Yanan thought that it was Amelia Su's fault.
The Ning family was very happy that Su Xueqing had given birth to a daughter, and held a full-month banquet for the child when Su Xueqing was out of confinement. Although Su Xueqing had to go to school to defend her thesis in two days, she didn't need to worry about the child's full-month banquet.
A lot of people were invited to the child’s full moon party. Not as many as at the wedding banquet, but still not a small number.
Ning Yanjing prepared travel expenses for some relatives of the Su family as usual, and also arranged accommodation for them. Uncle Su and Aunt Su came together, but not all of their children came. Firstly, they had jobs, and secondly, Aunt Su felt that it was inappropriate for them to take advantage of so many people. It was enough for each family to send one person as a representative, and they didn't need to bring all the family members with them.
Ning Yuhao always likes to tell people, "My sister, this is my sister."
“My little sister is so lucky.” Amelia Su sat at the wine table and couldn’t help but sigh, “Her in-laws are so happy that she gave birth to a daughter.”
Amelia Su thought that when she gave birth to a daughter, her in-laws were not so happy. There was no need to hold a full-month banquet for a girl. But when Amelia Su's daughter held a full-month banquet, those people were praising the little girl.
"What they need is a girl." Su Yanan said, "It doesn't matter if it's a boy or a girl."
Since Su Xueqing and her husband did not accept any red envelopes, Yu Guochao and his wife brought their child to the full-month banquet. After all, they could have a good meal for free, so of course they had to come.
Su Xueqing didn't care much about Yu Guochao and his wife. She had already booked a lot of banquets and even threw out several more tables, hoping that some relatives would come. The Ning family didn't lack the money for the banquet, so it didn't matter if those people were willing to come.
This time, Uncle Su Er and Aunt Su Er and others did not play in Nancheng for long. They went back the next day. When Aunt Su Er went back, she left some money for Old Lady Su. When she came, she found out that the old lady had been ill for a while.
Su's father and mother did not expect Aunt Su's second and Aunt Su's youngest to pay. As the son of the family, Su's father inherited the family house and most of the property, so of course he had to provide for Mrs. Su's retirement. This was a folk custom, and as for what the law stipulated, Su's father and mother did not think about it. They could not always expect to have everything.
After the baby was one month old, Su Xueqing went to school to defend her thesis and attend the graduation ceremony. Her classmates said that her family had accomplished many important life events. The baby was still young, so Su Xueqing didn't dare to let the baby get too close to some people, as some people liked to throw bachelor's hats, which had sharp corners and could easily hurt people.
Su Xueqing wore her bachelor's gown and took photos holding her child, and Ning Yanjing also took photos. They were very careful when taking photos, because the child was too young and they had to take the child into consideration.
After the graduation ceremony, the school arranged a free buffet, but Su Xueqing did not go to eat.
Su Xueqing and her husband took their child home. Their daughter's name was Ning Wenjun. This name represented how much Su Xueqing and her husband valued their child. They hoped that their child would be talented and honest. Girls were no worse than boys, and their daughter was even better than other boys.
Su Xueqing did not report to the Architectural Design Institute immediately, but waited until September to officially report. Su Xueqing had just given birth to a child and was still relatively weak. The Ning family wanted Su Xueqing to take more care of herself. During this period, Su Xueqing could go to the company occasionally, but not for a long time. Therefore, the reporting time was set in September.
When Mrs. Xu went to visit Su Xueqing, she specifically said, "Don't worry, your cousin's father is still the vice president. When you didn't graduate, you helped the unit do so many things. Now, you should take care of your health."
"Aunt, eat some fruit." Su Xueqing said, "Actually, there are people at home taking care of the child, so I don't need to take care of her too much. Mom and Yan Jing told me to take care of her more, so I'll wait for now."
"It's right to listen to them," said Mrs. Xu. "There's always work to be done. It's not like they won't have anyone to do the work if you're not there. If you go to work, others may not think you're doing a good job. It's better to take some time off. Besides, if you get pregnant and have a baby after reporting for work, won't you still have to take a leave? If you take a leave before reporting for work, the company won't have to arrange a subsidy for you. You're saving the company money."
“Uh…” Su Xueqing didn’t expect Mrs. Xu to say that.
"If you go to work now, you'll be weak and have trouble doing things. Won't others criticize you? It's definitely not wrong to take more rest." Madam Xu said, "We women shouldn't joke about our bodies."
"Yes, that's right." Su Xueqing nodded.
Some of Su Xueqing's classmates also entered the Architectural Design Institute. Some of them went there right after graduation without going home to rest for a while. Su Xueqing could indeed feel that after getting pregnant and giving birth, her body became much weaker and she needed to rest for a while.
Yu Li didn't dare to get pregnant and have a baby as early as Su Xueqing. She had to study two years of coursework in one year, and she was a little more relaxed in her junior year. Yu Li didn't dare to get pregnant. Yu Li was worried that she would upset the school teachers, so she decided to wait until graduation before getting pregnant and having a baby.
Mrs. Xu saw Yu Li while shopping outside. She asked, "Your former classmate's baby is already one month old. When do you and your second brother plan to have a baby?"
"Wait until I graduate from college." Yu Li said directly.
"Wait until you graduate from college?" Mrs. Xu said, "Can't you get pregnant earlier?"
"It's appropriate to wait until I graduate from university." Yu Li said, "My academic performance is not that good, and I am not the first in my major. If I were the first in my major, I would also have a child, and I would have had it sooner."
Yu Li had already clearly realized that she was not as good as Su Xueqing. Comparing herself with top talents would only embarrass herself. After Yu Li changed her major, she was not in the top few in her major, but ranked in the middle, not in the bottom few. But she knew that she was lucky to graduate successfully. If she had not changed her major, she might not be able to graduate successfully. She failed too many courses and might not be able to pass the make-up exam. Architecture-related majors are really too difficult to learn.
"Su Xueqing gave birth to a daughter and even held a full-month banquet." Mrs. Xu said, "She was very lucky. Her sisters-in-law all gave birth to sons, and their family needed a daughter. As luck would have it, she gave birth to a daughter. If she had given birth to a son, people would praise her. If she had given birth to a daughter, people would also praise her."
At first, when the people in the alley learned that Su Xueqing had given birth to a daughter, they all wondered whether Su Xueqing would be criticized by her in-laws, and whether her in-laws would look down on her. Later, they waited for the Ning family to hold a full-month banquet for the child, and it was held in the best hotel in South City. The specifications of the full-month banquet were better than many families' wedding banquets.
"But, sister-in-law, it would be better for you to give birth to a boy when the time comes." Mrs. Xu said, "If you don't give birth to a boy, who will take care of you in your old age?"
Yu Li didn't say much, but asked the person buying the vegetables, "How much is this vegetable?"
At Su Xueqing's house, Ning Jiaxuan was going abroad, and she came to say goodbye to Su Xueqing, "I will be leaving by plane in two days, Xueqing, you can't forget me."
