In the early years, the Gu family only had one son, Gu En. Now, the four Gu sisters, Gu Xin, are much more precious, while the rest are all boys.
The eldest son's family includes Gu En, Gu Ren, and Gu Shier.
The second wife's family includes Gu Xiaoba, Gu Xiaojiu, and Gu Xiaoshi.
The fourth branch already has Gu Xiaoqi and Gu Shiyi, and now there's Gu Shisan as well.
In total, there are thirteen grandchildren, nine of whom are sons, meaning each branch of the family has three sons.
If word gets out, everyone will say that the family is full of children and grandchildren!
Madam Zhang then sent someone to the palace to inform the Empress Dowager of the good news, and also sent someone to inform Old Man Yang, the father of Aunt Gu Si, who was at the furniture factory in the suburbs. She also sent someone to inform Aunt Gu San. Madam Zhang also sent people to Gu Hui and Gu Nian's place.
Gu Hui is also nearing her due date and hasn't been back to her parents' home much lately. Gu Nian is only two months behind Gu Hui, and with her big belly and the weather being hot, she generally doesn't want to travel around.
Now, Zhang Shi doesn't need Grandma Gu and Cai Xiaolian to worry about her anymore when she gets things done.
The family arrived at the courtyard of the fourth house and saw Uncle Gu standing at the door with his son in his arms, looking speechless.
"Why aren't you with your wife? What are you doing standing there like an idiot at the door?" Grandma Gu stepped forward, took the child, glanced at Uncle Gu with disdain, and asked.
“Mother, Xiao Huan is tired and is asleep now. Mother, why don’t I have a daughter? My eldest brother and second brother each have two daughters, so I should at least have one, right?” Uncle Gu felt very wronged.
Grandma Gu gave him a speechless look.
Do you think you can just have a daughter or a son whenever you want? Isn't that something ordained by fate?
"Hey, fourth brother, what's the rush? You're not even thirty yet. Look at your two sisters-in-law, and look at the third brother, aren't they all over thirty and still having children? You two have a long way to go!" Uncle Gu said as he looked at his little nephew.
Cai Xiaolian twitched her lips. Did this brother-in-law really think having children was as easy as playing around?
Having three sons is enough, why have more? My fourth sister-in-law definitely wouldn't agree.
Cai Xiaolian knew what Aunt Gu was thinking. Aunt Gu had always been strong-willed. Since marrying into the Gu family, she had given birth to three children in five years. A few days ago, Aunt Gu was telling Cai Xiaolian that whether it was a son or a daughter, this was the last one. After giving birth to this one, she would start working.
Therefore, Cai Xiaolian felt that Uncle Gu's words of comfort to Uncle Gu were completely ineffective.
Aunt Gu and Uncle Gu are true childhood sweethearts. There are absolutely no secrets between them. If Aunt Gu can tell Cai Xiaolian, how could she not tell Uncle Gu?
Therefore, Uncle Gu was fully aware of Aunt Gu's thoughts, which is why he felt so wronged and regretful!
I've never had a daughter in my life!
Ugh, so annoying!
...
Gu Shisan was just a nickname. Starting with Gu Xiaojiu, all the children of the Gu family were recognized as ancestors and their formal names were Ye, following their grandfather's surname.
Gu Xin and the other children of the Gu family looked at Gu Shisan around the crib for a long time. They all thought that the child was good-looking, unlike other babies who were wrinkled and red. Moreover, his hair was particularly good and his head was particularly round.
Gu Xin and the other older kids had seen each of the younger children in the family being born, and they came to the conclusion that Gu Shisan would definitely be the most handsome young man in their family in the future.
After looking after the little one, Aunt Gu woke up. The children went to visit Aunt Gu again before going back to their rooms to rest.
Everyone in the family went back to their rooms, leaving only the fourth branch of the family.
