Zhuang Sheng and Fulu were preparing their fishing equipment by the river at this time. Fulu brought a grill from Hong Kong, and when they caught fish, they would grill them directly over charcoal, which made them fresh and delicious.
Pregnant women usually act on impulse, and once the feeling strikes, they just have to do it. So, Liu Ruonan stood up and walked towards the river.
Gao Shanshan was sitting on the mat eating. When she saw Liu Ruonan get up, she asked with a puzzled look on her face, "Sister, where are you going?"
"I'll just go to the river and take a look." Liu Ruonan responded without turning her head.
Gao Shanshan was afraid that Liu Ruonan would be in danger at the river, so she followed her. Qiao Qiao also felt uncomfortable sitting alone, so she followed her.
When Zhuang Sheng saw Liu Ruonan coming over, he said with concern, "Don't go near the river, it's dangerous."
"It's okay, I just came over to take a look." Liu Ruonan responded with a smile. When she saw the ice cube, she wanted to eat one even more. Her heart felt like it was being burned by fire and she felt very uncomfortable.
The environment is very clean now, without any pollution from chemical plants. The river water is also very clean, and you can drink it directly from your cup. Therefore, Liu Ruonan did not care about it and said to Zhuang Sheng:
"Brother Zhuang Sheng, I want to eat a piece of ice!"
As soon as Liu Ruonan said this, everyone was surprised. There were so many delicious foods on the door mat, all brought by Fulu from Hong Kong. Many of them could not even be bought here. Instead of eating those delicious foods, she wanted to eat a piece of ice. What was she thinking?
Zhuang Sheng frowned, then walked up to Liu Ruonan and said with a puzzled look on his face, "Why do you want to eat ice? Aren't there plenty of food there?"
"But I just want to eat a piece of ice, and my heart is burning with anxiety." Liu Ruonan said, pointing at the ice floating on the river, her eyes full of urgency.
Fulu stood up, ran over excitedly, and said to Zhuang Sheng, "I guess the baby in your Ruonan's belly must be a boy."
"Where do you come from?" Zhuang Sheng looked at Fulu in surprise, but he didn't care too much. After all, Fulu was always unreliable in what he said.
"The older generation said that those who have fever during pregnancy usually give birth to sons." Fulu said with great interest and a sense of pride on his face.
"That's all nonsense." Zhuang Sheng said, turned around and pulled Liu Ruonan towards the mat. The riverside was too dangerous, and Zhuang Sheng didn't want Liu Ruonan to suffer any danger.
Liu Ruonan, however, held onto Zhuang Sheng, wishing she could jump into the river and grab a piece of ice to eat, or even just drink some cool water.
Unexpectedly, Fulu gently swung the fishing rod he had just hung up, and accurately hooked a piece of ice floating on the river surface. Then, with a force, he pulled it to the river bank.
When Liu Ruonan saw Fulu holding the piece of ice in his hand, her eyes lit up. She ran to Fulu excitedly and said to him with a smile, "Give it to me."
"That won't do. I wouldn't give it to you without your master's permission," Fulu said, hiding the ice behind him. The weather was still quite cold, and holding the ice in his hands for so long made his hands ache.
Liu Ruonan turned around and looked at Zhuang Sheng with a pleading look on her face, as if she would ignore him forever if Zhuang Sheng didn't allow her to do so today. Zhuang Sheng was also quite helpless and said to Liu Ruonan, "The river water is not clean. If you drink it, you will have diarrhea."
"I asked you for something cool to eat a few days ago, but you refused to let me have any. If there are so many things to pay attention to when getting pregnant, I might as well not have this child."
As Liu Ruonan spoke, tears welled up in her eyes. It's said that pregnant women have greater mood swings and are prone to sentimentality.
Zhuang Sheng didn't expect that such a small thing would make Liu Ruonan so sad?
Yes! A few days ago, she wanted to eat something cold, but Zhuang Sheng had been forbidding her to eat it. She must have been holding back for a long time, right? Thinking of this, Zhuang Sheng felt a little reluctant.
Liu Ruonan is only nineteen years old this year. She gave up her best years of youth to bear children for him. His requirements are actually not high, but Zhuang Sheng blocked all her unreasonable demands with the excuse of doing it for her own good.
He felt that eating such cold food in the middle of winter would definitely harm his body. But he also remembered that Liu Ruonan seemed to have said more than once that she was hot during this freezing winter. While everyone else was wearing thick cotton-padded jackets and trousers, she was only wearing a sweater with the zipper of her down jacket still open.
Thinking of this, Zhuang Sheng stopped trying to stop her and said gently to Liu Ruonan, "Wait a moment, I'll hook one for you."
Liu Ruonan's tears instantly turned into laughter, waiting for Zhuang Sheng to hook the ice cube up. When Liu Ruonan took the ice cube, she actually held it in her arms and began to nibble on it with big mouthfuls, a satisfied smile on her lips.
Although ice cubes are not as delicious as ice cream and have no taste, when you eat them, you feel cool and comfortable.
"You can only eat this piece." Zhuangsheng looked at Liu Ruonan and ordered with a frown.
Liu Ruonan nodded heavily to indicate that the deal was done.
"By the way, Zhuang Sheng, do you like boys or girls?" Fulu came over to join in the fun and asked Zhuang Sheng curiously.
A smile slowly appeared on Zhuang Sheng's lips, and there was boundless happiness in this smile.
"It's all the same."
It was a very general answer, but in Zhuang Sheng's heart, it was indeed so. As long as it was his and Liu Ruonan's child, whether it was a boy or a girl, he loved them all the same.
They are their descendants, the inheritance of their blood, the crystallization of their love, and the continuation of their lives.
How could he not love her?
"Tsk!" Fulu curled his lips in dissatisfaction: "People say that boys and girls are the same. Most people hope to have a son."
"But I do feel the same way," Zhuang Sheng replied, frowning. As long as two people love each other, who cares what gender the child is?
"I have an older brother in Hong Kong who had a big, fat baby boy a few days ago. At that time, I asked him how he felt. He said that he loved his wife very much and that at the time he felt the same whether it was a boy or a girl. However, when he found out it was a son, he felt a little different.
He said that in the hospital, when hearing the good news from every father, those who had a daughter would usually say, "It's a little girl!" and their confidence was obviously lacking; but when hearing the good news from the father who had a son, they would always proudly say, "It's a big son!"
"Elder son, younger daughter. What difference does it make to a father? But when a son is born, the mood is different."
Fulu mumbled a lot of things. He was not married and had no children, so naturally he didn't understand the feelings of these fathers.
