Chapter 249 Whose Surname Will the Child Take?
In April, the south wind blows, the wheat turns yellow, and the days without having to go to work are relaxing.
Lin Xiaotong woke up and touched her belly first. The sunlight came in through the window.
I have been pregnant for six months. I feel lazy and have back pain from time to time.
I have to soak my feet for a while every night before going to bed, otherwise I will easily get leg cramps.
Xie Da Jiao tinkered with it for a while, found some wood boards at the scrap yard, and after hammering them together, he made a long wooden barrel.
It looks quite successful from the outside, and the splinters on the edges have been polished away, so it doesn't prick your hands.
Gao Xiulan looked at Xie Da Jiao showing off beside her, but didn't say anything.
I just went to the pool, fetched some water, and poured it into the wooden barrel.
Lin Xiaotong dragged a chair over and just took off her socks and put on her slippers.
Xie Da Jiao's face changed, and he jumped, his shoes getting wet.
It turned out that the iron wire on the outside of the wooden barrel was tied too tightly, so that a small crack appeared on the wood at the bottom of the basin.
If this wooden barrel can't hold water, can it still be called a wooden barrel?
Finally, the new wooden barrel was used to grow green onions.
She lay on the bed with her head tilted, and could clearly see the dust floating in the air.
Because she is the only one sleeping in the room now, she occupies the center of the big bed every night.
I slowly moved to the bedside, glanced down, and saw a cat movie that was not suitable for children early in the morning.
Zhima and Xiaoju lay on a piece of cardboard on the floor beside the bed, licking each other's fur.
The little orange one is big in weight and can eat and drink a lot. It lies on the ground with its furry belly facing upwards.
One paw was placed on Zhima's neck, licking the fur on Zhima's face intently.
He licks the sides of his mouth, beard, and nose from time to time.
After being licked for a long time, Zhima wanted to escape, but was held down by Xiaoju's claws and continued to do whatever he wanted.
Lin Xiaotong continued to move towards the edge of the bed, stretching her head to take a closer look.
She was also a very polite audience member, and she didn't say a word, for fear of disturbing the two people's good time.
Sesame felt a chill on the back of his neck and Cat Face glanced behind him.
What he met was Lin Xiaotong's calm expression, without any embarrassment of being caught peeking.
Sesame's tail lifted up, its fur started to stand on end, and it barked at her twice with its mouth open.
He climbed onto the table and escaped through the window.
Even though the object he was licking ran away, the little orange boy was not angry.
He turned over, stuck his butt out, stretched himself, shook his hair, and walked out with his short legs to find another place to catch up on his sleep.
Lin Xiaotong lingered in bed for a few minutes and finally got up.
She changed into loose clothes, tied her long hair into a bun, and went out with a toothbrush in her mouth.
Qianqian had breakfast, took a chair and lay down at the door to bask in the sun. Her stomach moved several times an hour.
There was just a slight breeze in the yard, and as it blew, my eyelids closed naturally.
Gao Xiulan reached out and took a blanket to cover her, then continued working in the main room.
Actually, it’s not a big deal. I haven’t finished picking the shepherd’s purse I dug earlier.
Use scissors to cut off the roots at the bottom first. This thing tastes a bit bitter.
Put it aside and wash it, prepare the sauce and make cold shepherd's purse root salad.
Xiaoju sniffed it, moved his tail, and got the shepherd's purse root.
I took a bite out of curiosity, my face turned green, and it was so unpalatable that I vomited.
He took another one and went out to the yard. Zhima was lying on the branch of the apricot tree, licking his fur.
Xiaoju went up with something in his mouth, and the next second, his face turned green.
The three big guys soon gathered in the main room, and Zhang Dazui and Yu Afen came in carrying small stools.
While picking shepherd's purse, they chatted in low voices.
Gao Xiulan thought about what she saw last night while washing dishes, touched her elbow with her mouth wide open, and asked:
"Big Mouth, what's going on between you and Shujuan lately? Are you having a fight?"
"Well, it's nothing serious. She just mentioned to me the other day that if one of the children of Lao Er and Xia Yue could have the Xia family surname?"
Yu Afen raised her head and asked, "You didn't agree?"
Nowadays, if a child takes the mother's surname, it basically means that the man marries into the woman's family or divorces and remarries.
The Xia family's situation is indeed special, as they only have one child.
Lin Xiaotong also woke up, carried a small stool, sat next to Gao Xiulan, and came to listen to the gossip.
Zhang Dazui threw the shepherd's purse in his hand to the ground and said in a bad tone:
"Before I could say anything, Zhiwen suddenly appeared out of nowhere and agreed immediately. I was so pissed!
You said this damn kid didn't even discuss this with us, and Old Zhou doesn't even know about it."
Gao Xiulan felt that this matter was difficult to say. The two families were about to set a date for their wedding, and it must not be ruined.
"So what do you think?"
Zhang Dazui sighed and said, "To be honest, I don't think it's impossible.
It is reasonable for the baby you gave birth to after ten months of hard work to have your surname.
But, looking at Xia Yue's body, I feel that she may not be able to give birth to two children in the future.
What do you think? If the second child has only one child in his family, will he still have the Xia family name? "
Yu Afen: "So, should I still pay next month's share?"
She has already bought all the gifts.
Zhang Dazui was also upset: "We had originally agreed to get married on May 1st, but now with this incident, things are stuck here."
However, she still felt that the two families should sit down together and have a good discussion about which surname the baby should take.
Gao Xiulan thought for a moment and said, "Don't be so detached. Zhiwen is already an adult, he knows what's going on."
Zhang Dazui curled his lips and said, "This kid has been looking at me lately as if he saw the Queen Mother of the West who had separated a pair of lovebirds. He has a sad face, but he hasn't skipped a bit of eating."
Yu Afen was amused and wiped the mud off the scissors with rotten vegetable leaves.
"Zhiwen probably has his own plan in mind. Even if we take a step back, if this matter can't be negotiated, are you really willing to let Zhiwen and Xia Yue break up?"
As outsiders, they could see clearly that Zhiwen was in serious trouble.
Gao Xiulan also saw clearly that Zhang had a sharp tongue but a soft heart.
How can parents win over their children? In the end, they still have to compromise.
However, if this matter is not handled properly, the Zhou and Xia families will probably still feel a knot in their hearts.
Zhang Dazui was so upset last night that he couldn't sleep well. When he woke up this morning, he saw a blister on the side of his mouth.
After talking so much, the corners of my mouth became dry again, so I quickly took a sip of chrysanthemum tea to cool down.
"Why should I care? He's the one getting married, not me. Why should I worry about it?"
The child I have in the future won’t have my surname, so forget it, let’s not talk about it anymore.
Afen, I see that your Xiaoyu and Donggua have been getting closer recently?
Could it be that something good is going to happen?"
Yu Afen still felt that her Qian Yu had not yet come to her senses, and she was quite satisfied with Donggua's child.
She's good-looking, has a job, and cooks delicious food.
Although she is a little bit simple-minded, the key point is that Guan Lamei is the only mother in Donggua's family.
And since this mother is completely focused on food, she feels even more relieved.
"Well, these are children's affairs. They are still young. There is no rush."
Yu Afen said this, but in her heart she felt that it was time to start preparing the dowry.
Gao Xiulan nodded: "That's true, Xiaoyu is much more sensible than before."
"It's still Old Qian's idea to keep the person right in front of him.
Otherwise, if we let her hang around with that group of people, something bad will happen sooner or later."
…
"Brother, let me ask you something."
Zhou Zhiwen hurried to find Ernengzi, hoping that this married father-to-be, a winner in life, could give him some advice.
"What are you doing? I'm in a hurry to go back and eat. Tell me quickly."
Ernengzi was just about to ride his bicycle away when someone pulled it back. He saw that it was Zhou Zhiwen.
