Chapter 394: Not Enlightened
Dandan's eyes lit up when he heard this: "Mom is going to give birth to a brother or sister for me? Then, can I just have a sister?" His deskmate had a sister who was only three years old. He had seen her once. She called him brother in a baby voice. It was so cute. He wanted one too.
Wen Wan laughed: "But I can't guarantee that it must be my sister!"
Dandan pursed his lips and said after a long time: "That's fine." He can raise her as his sister even if she is his younger brother.
Wen Wan sighed softly.
Pregnant women are prone to sleepiness, and she was especially sleepy, even more so than when she was pregnant with her egg. She hadn't had any energy at all yet, even before the pregnancy reaction started, so she went upstairs to bed early.
Lu Dongping came back again under the stars.
Wen Shihua asked him, "Are you busy recently?"
"Not really. The place we bought outside the city is not being renovated. The main structure is up. I took some time to go over and take a look this afternoon."
"Can you make ends meet?"
Lu Dongping nodded, "Not bad." It was a bit tight, but within budget. He wasn't the type to aim too high, and always took things one step at a time.
For example, the idea of setting up this processing workshop was conceived as early as the first year after the clothing store opened when there was a problem with the batch of goods from Yangcheng, but it was postponed for several years.
"Dad, Wanwan went for a check-up today and confirmed that she is pregnant."
Wen Shihua sighed, "She's pregnant, which is a good thing. But you should also know that we're enforcing family planning, and the intensity of this year's measures is particularly strong, so there are some problems."
Lu Dongping asked him: "Will it have any negative impact on you?"
Wen Shihua shook his head: "That's not the case. But it will definitely have an impact on Wanwan. She should be aware of this. You two should discuss it carefully."
"Did you go see grandma? How was your day?"
Lu Dongping said, "I went to see it. To be honest, the situation is not good."
Wen Shihua sighed: "Yes!"
The father-in-law and son-in-law chatted for a long time before Wen Shihua stood up and said, "It's getting late, go get some rest!"
Lu Dongping just turned around and called out again, "By the way, I heard Aunt Zhou say that Wanwan wants to find a cook in Tonghua Lane?"
"Well, Zhou Mingli isn't home, and Chun'e is already pregnant. It's always worrying to leave her alone there. Cooking is secondary. The most important thing is that someone needs to be careful and reliable, able to live there and accompany her. And after the confinement period, if she wants to continue working after the confinement period, she will need someone to take care of the child."
Wen Shihua nodded: "Then talk to Xiao Zhou tomorrow. I heard her say that she has found the right person."
After saying that, he went into the house.
Lu Dongping washed up and went upstairs. He first went to Dandan's room to take a look, and then returned to his room. Wen Wan was already asleep. After turning off the lights, he pulled her into his arms, rubbing his chin on her smooth head, and couldn't fall asleep for a long time.
The next day, Wen Wan went to work as usual, and Lu Dongping went out of the city again.
The main structure will be completed in the next few days. On the one hand, I'm watching it from here, and on the other hand, I need to take a careful look at every place and then come back to inspect and pay the balance.
In addition, how to decorate the whole house and how to arrange the interior are all things that need to be taken into consideration on a daily basis.
He spent so much effort and money to renovate the house so that he could put it into use and bring benefits to himself, so of course he couldn't delay.
He came quite early, and the sun had just come out. Lu Donglin was squatting in the shade not far away, wearing a safety helmet, eating breakfast with a sip of water from a kettle and a bite of bread.
"elder brother!"
He saw Lu Dongping before he even got close. He quickly finished all the biscuits in his hand, hung the kettle around his neck, and ran over: "So early?"
"Yeah, I came directly from the compound."
"My sister-in-law went to work?"
"Um!"
"Brother, what do you think?"
Lu Dongping glanced at him and sighed, "To be honest, I haven't thought about having another child at all." Then he walked towards the tree, saying, "I just thought, I'll be with her, she'll be with me, and we'll live a good life together. As for children, one egg is enough. But we already have one now."
He looked into the distance. "It's my fault. I didn't want to burden her. Whether she decides to take it or not is fine."
Lu Donglin took a long time to speak again: "Brother, let me ask you something."
"Hmm?" Lu Dongping turned and looked at him.
"That is, can you tell me what it was like when you were dating my sister-in-law?"
Lu Dongping looked at him suspiciously: "What kind of thing?"
Lu Donglin couldn't describe it clearly: "That is, what were you thinking when you wanted to date my sister-in-law? And what did you think after you pursued her and she agreed to it?"
Lu Dongping didn't answer him immediately, but stood there looking at him: "I always feel that there is something wrong with you today. Do you have a partner?"
Lu Donglin waved his hands hurriedly: "No, no, no, don't guess. If I had a partner, why would I ask you this? I'm asking you because I don't have one."
"My sister has told me several times that I'm already 23, not too old, and it's time for me to date. But I've never thought about it at all. She said there might be something wrong with my brain, so I asked you to verify it."
Lu Dongping said coldly: "What's the point of verifying it with me, unless you already have a target."
"No, tell me about your experiences so I can learn from them. I can try to find that feeling and see if there's anyone who can give me that feeling."
Lu Dongping said: "You don't need to ask me, when you really meet someone you like, you will understand."
Lu Donglin: ——Talking for so long is as good as saying nothing, it’s a waste of his breath.
Lu Dongping looked at him twice again, shook his head speechlessly and left.
When Wen Wan went to the countryside, Lu Donglin was only thirteen years old. She kept urging him to pursue her, constantly clamoring for her. She thought he would grow up and be around her sooner rather than later. Who knew he would become completely different after growing up? He's become more sensible, but his head has really become a blockhead.
He had previously thought that Lu Donglin and Chen Dongshuang had something going on. That girl was also an excellent person, which was nice, but in the end, nothing happened.
The two of them lived in the same yard, ate from the same pot, went to school and came home together, and were both stupid.
One really treats the other as a brother, and the other really treats the other as a sister.
He was really convinced and had nothing to say.
It was unknown when Lu Donglin would finally come to his senses, nor who would be the master to enlighten him. Lu Dongping felt that he did not have the ability to do so.
It was the beginning of autumn and the sun was still very strong. Lu Donglin was lying on a haystack under the shade of a tree, chewing a piece of hay in his mouth and thinking about the major events in his life.
The words of God Chen Wenqin kept coming back to his mind. He smacked his lips and thought, "Dating, or maybe give it a try?"
However, it seems like I've already missed the opportunity. She was so proactive before, even getting in my car, but I didn't even drop her off. She even asked me to date her, but I didn't respond or chase her.
The little girl is thin-skinned, so I guess there won't be a next time.
Oh! Forget it!
Lu Dongping had no idea that Lu Donglin, who had been very smart since childhood and was thought to be quick-witted, had such bizarre thoughts. After looking around, he said something to Lu Donglin and left.
He was quite busy today. Wen Wan had given him the task of finding someone for Lu Chun'e. He had to go back and find out more. If it was appropriate, he could send the person to Tonghua Lane.
Aunt Zhou from the compound had helped find the woman. She was young, in her early forties. She looked cheerful and capable, and was also a military family member. However, her husband was no longer with her, so she was raising two children and taking care of the elderly on her own. Now that her children were older, she was thinking about doing something to earn some money.
Aunt Zhou has been staying in the Wen family for several years and has always been nice. Lu Dongping, the person she introduced to him, took a look and thought he was reliable. After having lunch and registering Dandan, he went with Aunt Zhou. After asking around, he took the person to Tonghua Lane.
Lu Chun'e's yard was quite spacious. In addition to the main house, there were other houses on the side. They had been redecorated before they got engaged, and all the furniture and other items were purchased.
Lu Chun'e brought the person into the house and said, "Then you can live here. I just need someone to keep me company so that my brother and sister-in-law won't worry. The main thing is that I'll need you to take care of me when I give birth."
Aunt Zhang responded with a "hmm" sound, feeling a little awkward as a newcomer.
Lu Chun'e asked her to familiarize herself with the place first and then went into the house to talk to Lu Dongping.
We're still talking about children.
Lu Dongping's thoughts on this matter have remained unchanged, and Wen Wan should make the decision herself.
This is actually not something that needs to be particularly entangled.
Wen Wan didn't take it to heart at all and just continued doing what she had to do.
She still worked very hard when she was working. When she was resting, although she felt very sleepy, she still forced herself to stay awake and wrote a resignation report seriously.
After finishing the manuscript, she didn't submit it immediately. She went to the hospital that afternoon. The old lady seemed much better than the day before, but Zhou Ping told Wen Wan, "She's old, and all her indicators are failing. She won't have much time left. You look energetic now, but you had a high fever all night and were dazed and talking nonsense all morning."
As he spoke, he looked at Wen Wan's red eyes and said, "Don't be too sad. As people get older, this day will come sooner or later. It's the same for her, us, or you. Being able to pass away with ease and dignity is the greatest blessing in a person's life."
"You're not alone now, there's another baby in your belly! You need to be extra careful during the early stages of pregnancy. Whether you want to have the baby or not, you need to take good care of yourself."
After saying that, he thought for a moment and then warned, "But you have to think it over as soon as possible. If you decide not to have the surgery, then you should have the surgery as soon as possible. This way, it will cause less harm to your body."
Wen Wan sighed: "I've made up my mind, I want it."
"Before I got pregnant, I never thought I had to have another child, but now that I'm pregnant, I can't give him up. Whether it's a fine or a job, it's all within my tolerance. There are many things a person can do in life and many paths they can take. You don't necessarily have to follow one path to the end. But my child is different. He is growing in my belly and is connected to me by blood. I will never give him up no matter what."
