Chapter 254: Can have 10 or 8
children If it weren't for his wife saying that she didn't want children for the time being, how could Lu Jingzhen use this thing? He was already feeling depressed, and now Su Xiangnan's words were undoubtedly rubbing salt into his wounds. He didn't refute anything and walked forward with a sullen face.
Seeing that he was in a bad mood, Su Xiangnan, who originally wanted to play a joke on him, also restrained his laughter and asked,
"What's the matter? Is it you who doesn't want it, or is it her?"
In this era, the family planning policy had not yet come, and people basically had no concept of contraception. Most people gave birth to the baby as soon as they got pregnant. In Su Xiangnan's view, the fourth brother and his wife had been married for several years and still had no children, so there was no need for contraception at all.
Lu Jingchen walked forward without answering Su Xiangnan's question, but from his lonely look, Su Xiangnan already had the answer, and was even more confused. It stands to reason that after marriage, women would want children more than men. Is there any unspeakable reason why my sister-in-law doesn't want children?
"Why doesn't my sister-in-law want children?" Su Xiangnan asked.
Lu Jingchen was silent for a moment, and did not intend to hide it from Su Xiangnan, and replied:
"She wants to go to college and feels that now is not the time to have children."
After listening to Lu Jingchen's explanation, Su Xiangnan was obviously a little surprised, and it was no wonder that he was surprised. After all, the contrast between this fourth sister-in-law and him was really big.
In Su Xiangnan's opinion, Lu Jingzhe, this young wife, should be docile, gentle and obedient. Su Xiangnan never expected that she had such ambitions.
Su Xiangnan did not say that married women should stay at home to cook, wash clothes, and have children. On the contrary, he admired and praised Xia Qingli, a young woman who had her own ideals and put them into action. So he said,
"Sister-in-law has such an ideal, and we should support her." After that, he comforted Lu Jingchen,
"You are still young, and you will be able to have children in a few years." After that, he suddenly laughed and deliberately teased Lu Jingchen,
"By then, it will be in time to have ten or eight children. If you are lucky, you can even have an intensive class." (An intensive class has 12 people)
Lu Jingchen was very upset. If they really had that many children, how tired would his wife be? He couldn't bear it!
"You should keep this kind of luck to yourself." Lu Jingchen was dressed in a neat military uniform, walking with steady steps and exuding a cold aura.
Su Xiangnan didn't seem to object at all. He smiled from ear to ear and replied,
"That's fine. Hehe, being able to give birth to eight or ten children shows that I'm in good health and capable."
Hearing his shameless words, Lu Jingzhen felt that this man was daydreaming. He couldn't help but want to suppress his arrogance, so he asked,
"Huh? How can you give birth when you don't even have a wife?"
"Who do you look down on, Lu Jingzhen?" Su Xiangnan was instantly aroused by these touching words, and his desire to win was aroused:
"Just wait and see, I'll bring you a sister-in-law today!"

Lu Jingzhen and Su Xiangnan walked into the cafeteria together. Xia Qingling was already sitting on a row of chairs on the side waiting for him.
Because when Xiang Qianjin came to pick her up, he told her that after finishing the school application, Lu Tuan would wait for her in the cafeteria to have lunch together at noon.
She finished early, so she came to the cafeteria early.
Seeing that the third brother Su Xiangnan was also there, Xia Qingxi greeted him politely.
"Please sit for a while, I'll ask them to stir-fry some dishes." Lu Jingxie didn't want Xia Qingxie to squeeze in, so he spoke.
Before Xia Qingxie could reply, Su Xiangnan on the side replied first:
"Okay, order some hot pot meat." After saying that, he sat down without being invited.
Looking at Su Xiangnan who was ready to "eat for free" and was waiting for him to bring him dishes like a master, Lu Jingxie didn't say anything, but turned and walked towards the window of the stir-fry.
"Sister-in-law, are you used to living in the army?" Su Xiangnan was not at all shy. After sitting down, he started chatting with Xia Qingying.
"Very good." Facing this cheerful third brother, Xia Qingxing did not feel any restraint and said frankly:
"It's just that the ringing is a bit frequent every day."
"Haha... it's so noisy that you can't sleep and are lazy, right?" Su Xiangnan didn't expect his sister-in-law to be so honest, and laughed heartily:
"It's okay, after listening to it for a while, you will be immune to it, and when it stops ringing, you turn over and fall asleep again immediately."
Lu, who was standing at the window of the stir-fry, was startled. Looking at Su Xiangnan who was chatting happily with his wife, he couldn't help frowning slightly. After a while, he heard him say to the chef who was cooking inside in a calm voice:
"Have you fried the meat?"
"Not yet, not yet, Lu Tuan, I'll fry it for you now." The master chef replied quickly.
"Don't fry it if it's not fried yet. Let's switch to bitter melon and baked eggs." Lu Jingshan said to the chef in the window.
"Okay." The chef nodded with a smile.
Not long after, the dishes ordered by Lu Jingshan came out of the pot one after another, and he brought them to the table one by one.
Su Xiangnan seemed to enjoy the feeling of being the boss and waiting for the meal. Seeing Lu Jingshan serving him, he felt particularly excited.
Xia Qingli had served three bowls of rice in advance. Lu Jingshan put the last dish on the table and sat down.
"No more?" Su Xiangnan asked puzzledly, looking at the dishes on the table.
"Yeah." Lu Jingshan replied in a deep voice.
"Where's the meat in the pot?" Su Xiangnan asked.
"My wife doesn't like fatty meat." Lu Jingxie handed the chopsticks to Xia Qingxi and replied calmly.
"I love it!" Su Xiangnan immediately protested.
Lu Jingchen looked up at him and asked seriously:
"What does it have to do with me?" Then he added:
"You are not my wife."
"Okay, okay!" Su Xiangnan looked at the bitter melon in front of him, which he hated to eat the most, with a look of despair on his face, and scolded:
"Lu Jingchen, you are a typical example of 'getting a wife and forgetting your brother'! Do you have a conscience? Have you forgotten who accompanied you through those long nights when your sister-in-law was not here..."
Hearing Su Xiangnan's "corny" words, Lu Jingchen frowned slightly, and before he finished speaking, he raised his hand and put a large piece of bitter melon baked egg into Su Xiangnan's bowl.
"What are you doing?" Su Xiangnan stopped talking and asked Lu Jingzhen.
"I'm picking up some food for you." Lu Jingzhen replied, using his actions to show that he was not heartless. He was picking up some food for him.
"Don't you know that I don't like bitter melon?" Su Xiangnan had a mask of pain on his face, looking at the bitter melon in the bowl, with resistance written all over his body.
"Oh, I forgot." Lu Jingzhen seemed to have just remembered, and then looked at Su Xiangnan and "educated" him:
"Eat quickly, it's not good to be picky about food, and it's not good to waste food."
How could he have forgotten? He remembered it clearly, otherwise he would not have specially replaced the re-cooked pork with bitter melon and baked eggs.
Su Xiangnan looked at the bitter melon in the bowl, his brows almost wrinkled into a "川" character. After a moment, he looked at Xia Qingliu with a pleading look and "complained":
"Sister-in-law, your Lu Jingzhen always bullies people like this!" He
originally thought that his gentle and kind sister-in-law would speak for him, but the next second he saw her imitating Lu Jingzhen's appearance and said indifferently:
"What does it have to do with me?"
Su Xiangnan, who was hit by the mixed attack of Lu Jingzhen and his wife, raised his chin, full of resentment and jealousy of the two of them:
"Ha! What a couple who follow each other's lead."
