Chapter 441 Parental Love (XVIII)
After some banter, the small bag of wedding candy was finally distributed.
The four members of the Xie family also locked the door and went out to eat at Quanjude.
Unexpectedly, as soon as I stepped in, I saw an acquaintance in the compound - San Naozi, with half a sliced roast duck next to him and a female comrade sitting opposite him.
Xie Dawei said with a hint of sarcasm: "This kid really knows how to enjoy life."
The third uncle and aunt fried vegetables at home, while the third bad boy spent money to take people out to eat and drink.
He is so filial.
There were four of them and they chose a large square table near the inside.
Xie Zhiqiang and Gao Xiulan first went to the kitchen to pick out a duck. They watched with their own eyes as the marked duck was put into the oven. They estimated that it would take another half an hour before the dish could be served.
The couple got together and ordered a few more dishes, taking into account everyone's taste.
The food here is served relatively quickly, so you can eat slowly to fill your stomach while waiting for the roast duck to be cooked.
Gao Xiulan glanced at the two of them and asked, "Is this Sannozi's partner?"
Xie Zhiqiang looked back and said, "That's not right. Wasn't it this female comrade last time?"
Old Man Gao was drinking tea when he choked.
Xie Dawei patted him: "Brother, don't get excited, calm down quickly, it's not our family's business anyway."
In his opinion, the troublesome San Nuozi was not worthy of being a member of the third uncle and aunt's family.
Gao Xiulan asked curiously in a low voice, "Have you seen the previous one?"
Xie Zhiqiang shook his head: "I haven't seen it, but I heard Shengli say last time that San Naozi's girlfriend had a big black mole at the corner of her mouth. This one is obviously not the same person."
Ever since Sannozi knew that he was getting married, he never greeted her when he met her in the morning.
He acts like he's worth a fortune. I really want to punch him.
Xie Dawei waved his hand: "It's such a nice day today, let's not talk about these things that will spoil the fun. The food is here, let's eat it."
After a feast, they all decided to have their next meal at a restaurant for just a few dollars.
Of course, the price of roast duck is a bit more expensive.
The roast duck, which is roasted until it is oily and fragrant, is eaten with lotus leaf pancakes, which is salty, fragrant and chewy.
Even Old Man Gao, who usually has a poor appetite, ate an extra bowl of rice today.
There was some roast duck left, so I wrapped it in oil paper and took it home.
Xie Dawei's lips were shiny: "It would be great if I could eat meat every day."
Xie Zhiqiang touched his pocket cautiously: "Dad, don't think about it, go back to the compound and sleep, you'll definitely see it in your dreams."
Xie Dawei blew his beard and glared: "I have my own money, I won't bring you when I treat you next time!"
"That won't do."
"Why not?"
"I said no, no."
"I'll complain to my mother tonight."
"Alright, alright, I'll take you with me. You're already married and still talking so rudely."
Gao Xiulan walked behind holding Old Man Gao's arm, looking at the bickering father and son with amusement.
Old Man Gao sighed, "Today is a truly wonderful day. We even had roast duck. I never dared to think of this before."
In the village, as long as the family eats meat at noon, they will never wipe their mouths.
With a greasy mouth, he walked from one end of the village to the other, fearing that others would not know that he had eaten meat.
Gao Xiulan patted his hands and said, "Dad, there are still many days to come."
Life is much better now than before, and everyone's life will get better and better.
…
Just a few months after getting married, Zhang Cuilian, Yu Afen and Diao Yulian became pregnant.
Zhang Cuilian, who was the first to become pregnant, had a visible belly, but she was still walking briskly.
There was no movement in Gao Xiulan's stomach, so naturally people gossiped about her behind her back.
However, no one dared to say anything in front of Xie Dawei, as he was always protective of his own children.
If anyone dares to say anything bad about his family members in front of him, he will turn hostile without any negotiation.
Several aunts who had been treated unfairly were so angry that they were gossiping in the alley behind her back. Among them, Aunt Wu was the most excited.
After all, her daughter-in-law is pregnant and she swears outside that the Wu family will have another grandson.
Diao Yulian's pregnancy was not stable and she could not eat any meat. When she became pregnant, she vomited away all the newly grown flesh on her face.
Aunt Wu no longer had time to gossip, and ran around the alley, asking for ways to stop vomiting.
One day, when Gao Xiulan went to talk to Zhang Cuilian next door, Diao Yulian was eating a pickled cucumber, which made her feel a little sour.
Lying in bed with Xie Zhiqiang at night, I said, "It's so hard for a woman to be pregnant. Diao Yulian has almost lost all her weight, and I see Wu Shengli has gained weight."
Xie Zhiqiang moved closer to her: "There's no rush for us. We've only been married for a short time. I just heard that some people can't even eat meat when they're pregnant."
He and Xiulan are still young and in good health, so it is only a matter of time before they have children.
He also had a worry in his heart because his father said that he was very noisy when he was a child.
I'm a little worried that his child will have the same personality, which would be really frustrating.
He looked at Ernengzi from the Chang family in the front yard and felt a little envious.
This child is very lazy. He rarely makes noises after he is born and he stays still as long as he can.
Gao Xiulan touched her belly and said, "I've gained weight."
"Really? I have one too, look at mine."
Xie Zhiqiang showed off his abdominal muscles.
When they went to the bathhouse to take a bath, the brothers said he had the best figure.
"Then let me touch it."
Gao Xiulan got started out of curiosity.
Xie Zhiqiang lay there, trying not to laugh, and let her do whatever she wanted to him.
…
Accidents always come too fast.
In June, Xie Zhiqiang was hired as a regular employee and bought a fish to cook.
Wearing an apron and waving a spatula, she was busy in the kitchen for a while.
Gao Xiulan came back from outside getting beer and smelled the aroma of fish coming from the kitchen. Her face suddenly changed and she retched a few times.
"Xiu Lan, what's wrong with you? Are you feeling unwell? Wait, I'll take you to the hospital right away."
Xie Zhiqiang was so anxious that he dropped the spatula and rushed out in a hurry.
The third aunt heard the noise and came out: "Xiu Lan looks like this, maybe she is pregnant?"
The couple was stunned. Gao Xiulan touched her belly in disbelief. Was she really pregnant?
Xie Zhiqiang's brain froze for a few seconds, and his tongue was shaking when he spoke.
"Xiu Lan, I'll go to the hospital with you, Third Aunt. Please let me know when my dad comes back."
"It's okay, go ahead and drive slowly."
As soon as the young couple left, Xie Dawei and Old Man Gao came back.
Xie Dawei sniffed: "What's that smell? Whose fish is burnt?"
Father Gao's face froze: "It seems to be our family."
The two hurried to the backyard, where Auntie was using a spatula to turn over the burnt fish belly.
"You're finally back. Zhiqiang accompanied Xiulan to the hospital. The fish is a little mushy, but it's edible."
"What happened? Zhiqiang's beans weren't cooked enough, and he ended up in the hospital?"
Xie Dawei's mind started to spin again, and he threw the pot on his son's head.
The third aunt interrupted repeatedly: "No, Xiulan smelled a little nauseous about the fishy smell, so they went to the hospital to see if she was pregnant."
Gao Laodi just breathed a sigh of relief and then brought it up again: "Oh, this matter, that is also a big deal."
If he had a child, he would become a grandfather.
He and Xie Dawei have been together for a long time, and their tones of voice are somewhat similar.
The third aunt smiled and said, "It's all good news anyway."
Aunt Wu in the west heard the noise and curled her lips.
She muttered quietly, "It would be best if I could reincarnate and have a daughter, just to see how Xie Dawei can still be so proud."
She had been waiting for so long and tried every possible way to help the woman get pregnant. In the end, Diao Yulian gave birth to a girl for Old Wu's family.
She hasn't dared to go out recently, for fear that someone would laugh at her in person. It would be so embarrassing.
"Mom, haven't you cooked yet? Yulian is hungry and her milk is not enough."
Wu Shengli came out with a pile of diapers. His eldest daughter had been having stomach problems recently and was always crying and making noises. He couldn't sleep well at night.
This time it was a girl, and his mother didn't take the initiative to help, so he was the only one who was busy like a top.
"All she does all day is eat. If you don't know her, you might think she gave birth to a baby!"
Aunt Wu walked into the kitchen with a gloomy face. Although she said that, she kept picking up the eggs.
If she doesn't feed people, her milk will be completely gone, and she will have to work hard to make porridge, wasting firewood.
She won't do this losing business.
Diao Yulian, who was lying in the house in confinement after giving birth, looked at her daughter who looked like a red monkey and felt indignant.
"Why did Zhang Cuilian give birth to a son? I had clearly calculated that this baby would be a son, but in the end, why is it still a girl?"
Yu Afen also gave birth to a daughter before her.
At that time, I secretly laughed at myself at home: What if the Qian family is rich? They only have one daughter!
