She wasn't sure whether Lu Ting would favor boys over girls, but she knew that Lu Ting also hoped that she could give birth to a son for him.
If she gave birth to girls for two or even three consecutive pregnancies, and Lu Ting was dissatisfied, she would simply divorce him and take the children away.
If she can't buy a house, she can just rent one outside. With her own space, even if she doesn't have a job, she will have no problem supporting her daughter with her savings.
She wouldn't leave the child to this bastard, nor would she take the child back to her parents' home. Even if your parents are willing to help you take care of the child, what about your brother and sister-in-law?
They will definitely not have any objections in the short term, but after a long time, they will become annoying.
"Silly child, what are you thinking about? You are pregnant with a boy this time, so the next one can be a boy or a girl. I crocheted several pairs of woolen shoes for your son. Do you think they look good?"
Jiang Lingling took out a few pairs of woolen shoes, with a few small strawberries hanging on the drawstrings of the shoes, which looked really beautiful.
"Mom, these woolen shoes are so beautiful. I also made three pairs of small cotton shoes with cotton and old cloth."
"Babies only need socks. Shoes will fall off after a few moves. Even these pairs of woolen shoes I knitted need to be worn after a hundred days."
"Mom, you have some wool, please knit some nice hats for my kids."
Last year she knitted herself a hat with earmuffs and cut off a fox fur shawl for warmth.
"Okay, I'll knit him two or three nice woolen hats when the time comes. Yanyan, now that you know the baby in your belly is a boy, do you want to start thinking of a name now?
The baby is due around New Year's Day. How about calling him Lu Yuan? His nickname is Dandan."
"Mom, is Dad's pulse diagnosis accurate? He said I'm pregnant with a son, but maybe it'll be a girl. What about the girl's name, Lu Yuan?"
"Your father has been learning medicine from your grandfather since he was a child. If he can't take the pulse accurately, who can?
When mom was pregnant with you, she had the same symptoms as when she was pregnant with your older brother. I thought she was carrying a son again.
I was considering whether to keep the baby or not. Your father took my pulse and said that it must be a girl. When the baby was born, it turned out to be a girl.
You weighed 6.72 jin when you were born. Do you know why you were so fat? Because your dad knew it was a girl, so he made delicious food for me every night.
Is 6.7 jin (1.5 catties) considered fat? Then what about those children weighing 8 or 9 jin (1.5 catties)?
"What delicious food did Dad make for you?"
"Eggs in sugar water, noodles. Are you hungry? Do you want me to make you a bowl of brown sugar and egg water?"
The brown sugar eggs were too greasy, and Su Yan didn't like it very much. She took out an open durian from the space, opened it, took out a piece of flesh and handed it to Jiang Lingling.
Jiang Lingling had never seen a durian before and didn't know what it was. When she smelled the odor, she quickly stepped back.
Seeing that her mother didn't eat, Su Yan started eating it herself. It was the first time that Jiang Lingling smelled this pungent and strange smell and she couldn't help but want to vomit.
"Yan Yan, how can you eat such a smelly fruit?"
"Mom, this is called durian. It smells bad but tastes delicious. It's also very nutritious. One durian is equivalent to ten black-bone chickens."
When she first set up the planting base, durian had not been successfully grown in Guangdong, Guangxi and Hainan. There were durian seedlings for sale in China, so she bought a few and planted them in the mango forest.
Unfortunately, the trees only grew but didn't produce any fruit in five years. Unexpectedly, after my soul traveled through time and space, the base was copied into space, and this year the durian trees actually bloomed and bore fruit.
Not only durian has borne fruit, but jackfruit, wax apple, mangosteen and rambutan have also borne fruit. Unfortunately, these fruit trees have all been planted to the limit, with only four or five trees planted.
Hearing that durian is very nutritious, Jiang Lingling walked over, pinching her nose, and broke off a piece of durian flesh, chewing it slowly. "Hmm, hmm, this durian is soft and sweet. Not bad, not bad. Apart from being a little smelly, it's quite delicious."
"A durian has five fleshy parts. We ate two. You can put the remaining three in a lunch box and take them home."
I haven’t seen any durian sellers in Beijing yet, so I naturally can’t bring a whole durian back for my mom.
"Yan Yan, seeing that you are okay, Mom will go back."
I didn’t invite my eldest brother to dinner last time, so I have to invite my mother to come this time.
"Mom, please stay and have dinner before you leave!"
"Your dad is waiting for me to go back and cook."
"Dad knows you're coming, so he'll definitely make himself some noodles. Mom, you stay!"
In order to invite her mother to stay for dinner, Su Yan fished out a bighead carp from the space pond and killed a duck. She also froze the duck intestines, duck feet, duck neck and other duck goods.
This time, she did not invite her parents-in-law to dinner. There were only three people eating at home, but Su Yan prepared four dishes because her mother really wanted to eat at her house.
Fish head with chopped pepper, duck stew with ginger, steamed egg, and cold-mixed bitter chrysanthemum. Jiang Lingling looked at the four delicious dishes on the table and couldn't help swallowing.
Jiang Lingling stayed for lunch before leaving. When she left, Su Yan not only prepared a pile of wool for her, but also several kilograms of fresh mushrooms.
"Yan Yan, your mother just asked me to name the children. What does it mean to give them boys' names?"
"My dad took my pulse and said I'm having a boy. Do you believe it?"
After Su Yan finished speaking, she carefully observed the changes in Lu Ting's expression and found that he didn't look very happy. It seemed that he didn't care what happened to her.
Lu Ting pulled Su Yan into the study and opened the diary from the drawer. Inside was a piece of paper with the girl's name written on it in three characters.
"Yan Yan, I thought you might be having a girl. I even thought of a name for it, and now you're telling me you're having a boy."
"Are boys bad? Don't you men all like your wives to give birth to boys? There's a family downstairs where the boy and girl are about the same age. The boy is dressed neatly, while the girl's clothes are all patched up."
