Chapter 60 About Having a Baby
I didn't see Xiao Huaishu during the meal.
"My brother went to work?"
"I only took one day off and left early in the morning."
When you reach a certain age, the topics basically revolve around children.
"Huai Shu, you are a small boat, but when will you get married?"
Speaking of this, Xiao's mother became worried, "There's still no sign of him. I'm tired of talking too much. Just go with it."
Mother Xu glanced at her son. This kid used to find them annoying.
Now you know how good it is to have a wife?
Smiling like a silly little boy.
He shook his head helplessly, "Maybe fate has made him realize his mistake. Xiaozhou was like this before, no different from a blockhead. Now that he has met Qingru, he has become extremely anxious without us urging him."
Xu Muzhou was embarrassed. "Aren't you talking about my brother-in-law? Why are you dragging me into this?"
"Can't I say a few words to you?"
"Okay, why not?" Xu Muzhou added a bowl of chicken soup to the two mothers.
Xu's mother joked: "This is using food to shut us up."
"Xiao Xu is a filial child, but Huai Shu doesn't take care of him that well."
"Huaishu has a better temper than you. This kid is just stubborn. Sometimes he makes me so angry that I jump up and down."
“This is based on principles.”
“…”
After spending a few days together, everyone has become familiar with each other and is no longer so cautious when talking.
Xiao Qingru ate her meal in silence and did not join in the discussion, for she was afraid that the topic would be directed to her, which would be bad if she got burned.
There are some things that she can't avoid, and the elders talked about the topic of having children.
Xu's mother was afraid that someone would use her husband as a pretext to urge her daughter-in-law to have children, so she took this opportunity to express her attitude.
"We've been urging Xiaozhou to get married because we think it's pitiful for you to be alone here. If you have someone by your side, at least you'll have someone to talk to. We don't care about having children. It's up to you two to decide."
Xiao Qingru and Xu Muzhou breathed a sigh of relief at the same time. As long as they had no objections, things would be much easier.
Although the decision-making power is in their own hands, if the elders keep urging them to have children, they cannot completely turn a deaf ear to them.
"Mom, Qingru is still young, let's wait two years before considering having a child."
"Just make your own decisions. Don't discuss it with us. If you need any help, just tell us. Don't worry about having a baby without someone to take care of it. You can send it back to Beijing or keep it here."
Xiao Qingru is ten years old this year and is receiving much attention from the leaders of the art troupe. Now is indeed not a good time to have a baby.
Not only men want to make a career, Xiao Qingru also wants to do so.
The golden age for dancers is just a few years. If you work hard now, it will be a good way out for you to transfer to other units or get promoted in the future.
She likes dancing, and even if she doesn't dance anymore, she must fight for a good job for herself.
So now you have to work hard and don't waste your time doing other things.
Xu Muzhou put his hand under the table and held Xiao Qingru's. Although some people always say that she is too old, she doesn't want children at all now.
Qingru has already suffered because of her husband, if she has another child, wouldn't that mean more people will suffer?
Our house is so small that the children don’t even have their own room.
Don't always rely on the support of the elders, that would be too hopeless.
Xu Muzhou thought that he had to move up one more level at least so that he could move to a bigger room and then consider having a baby.
The most important thing is that I don't want to ruin my wife's career.
She is so dazzling, she was born to be on the stage.
Everything was left unsaid, Xiao Qingru shook Xu Muzhou's hand.
True partners support each other, make progress together, and will not let themselves become each other's stepping stones.
Xiao Qingru's mouth curled up. Although she took a detour, fortunately she still met the right person.
After dinner, Xu Muzhou drove his parents away.
As the daughter-in-law, Xiao Qingru naturally had to go along.
"My dear, come and play again when you have time."
"If you have the chance, you guys can come to Beijing City to play, and I, Old Xu, will entertain you."
Xiao's mother smiled and said, "I will definitely go if I have the chance."
I stuffed the specialties I prepared in advance into the car and said, "I wish you a safe journey."
The in-laws were very happy, and we couldn't refuse, so we had to wait until we returned to Beijing to send a return gift.
After saying goodbye, I left in the car.
The family still remembers the commotion when Jiangchuan and Du Wanqiu got married. The Zhang family left with a quarrel on the first day.
Now look at the Xu family, leaving in a car in a dignified manner.
Comparing the two weddings, they are like heaven and earth.
"Du Wanqiu had a sullen face at the wedding yesterday. It was so funny. I thought Xiao Qingru had stolen her man."
"Her immoral thoughts are different from our normal ones. Maybe she really thinks that all good things should fall on her head."
"She should be secretly happy that she married Jiangchuan with a burden, but this kind of person just can't figure it out. In the end, she will end up with nothing."
"It's the same thing. Whoever marries Jiang Chuan is actually quite unlucky. Although his family conditions are good, he is very unfaithful. Which woman can bear this kind of grievance?"
"Didn't you see how I looked yesterday? I looked like I was abandoned. I was so pitiful."
"Poor ass, the best at pretending."
Even though Jiang Chuan has already decided that he will stay away from Xiao Qingru in the future.
But whenever there was any disturbance, the people in the courtyard would always pull Du Wanqiu out and give him a beating.
The more gossip there was, the more Du Wanqiu wanted to hold Jiang Chuan in her hands. She wanted to prove to others that Jiang Chuan was very happy marrying her.
There was no emotional foundation between the two, and many problems were exposed when Du Wanqiu made a fuss.
Jiang Chuan used to go home on time every day, but later he wanted to spend 14 hours a day in the training ground.
In order to avoid Du Wanqiu, after attending Xiao Qingru's wedding, he took the initiative to apply for the mission.
After being married for so long, the two have never been intimate, which makes Du Wanqiu very upset.
Just take it out on the kids.
"It's all your fault! You can't keep your dad here!"
"What's the point of you being alive? You're holding me back!"
The little kid's arms were pinched red and his cries were deafening, which only made Du Wanqiu even more furious.
"Cry, cry, cry, just cry!"
"Nothing!"
