So he turned around and wanted to fight for the naming rights of the baby in Lin Xiaotang's belly.
Lin Xiaotang coughed lightly and did not refuse immediately, "Mom, I have uncles and aunts at home. This is also a big deal. I have to discuss it with my family."
Both emotionally and rationally, Lin Xiaotang felt that giving Sixian and Siqi the surname Lin was her way of explaining to her family and parents, and it was nothing wrong for the next child to take Fu Hansheng's surname.
But selfishly speaking, she didn't want to accept Mrs. Fu's interference in their lives as a young couple.
This may be the little thought of every daughter-in-law.
There are no major conflicts, and many things can be understood by each other.
Even in big things, Lin Xiaotang was still moved by many things.
But if she interferes with the child's surname issue now, she will be able to interfere with her and Fu Hansheng's lives in the future.
This kind of thing without a sense of boundaries will make people very uncomfortable.
Lin Xiaotang is not someone who is willing to be bound.
She has her own persistence and personality, and doesn't want anyone to point fingers at her life, so she has to nip such tendencies in the bud from the very beginning.
How could Fu Hansheng not know what was in the mind of the person who shared the bed with him? This had nothing to do with filial piety. It was the most basic distance that two families should maintain.
When two people get married, the purpose is to leave their original families together and form a new family of their own.
If things continue like this, and everyone demands others to follow their own living habits, then family conflicts will definitely be the destroyer of relationships.
Keeping a good distance from a bowl of soup is the most basic respect for your elders and loved ones.
"Mom, this is Xiaotang and I's child, we will discuss it ourselves."
Mrs. Fu didn't expect that even after she had given in, they still didn't listen to her advice, which really showed that they didn't take her, their elder, seriously.
Unfortunately, one is the son with whom he has had no feelings since childhood, and the other is the daughter-in-law who he has targeted from the very beginning.
She was a bad person first, so it is understandable that the children don't respect her.
Mrs. Fu was originally moved and excited when she ate the meal cooked by her son for the first time. But now, with the two of them talking back and forth with each other, she suddenly felt that the food was tasteless.
The dish was obviously delicious, but Mrs. Fu only felt sad when eating it.
That is a parent-child relationship that cannot be repaired.
Lin Xiaotang noticed Mrs. Fu's disappointment and kicked Fu Hansheng under the table.
She just wanted to remind Mrs. Fu to maintain a good sense of boundaries and didn't want to make Mrs. Fu sad.
No matter what, Mrs. Fu is still her aunt.
Fu Hansheng pursed his lips. As a son, he couldn't bear to see his mother unhappy.
Fu Hansheng picked up some food for his mother, "Mom, try this."
Fu Hansheng's sense of mystery and distance instantly disappeared because of the action of picking up food, and his relationship with his mother became closer.
Her powerful son, who was estranged from her, would now pick up food for her attentively.
In just a moment, Mrs. Fu felt that she should be more content.
Nothing is perfect.
Why can a child trust and rely on himself wholeheartedly when he has suffered so much and been suppressed by himself for so many years? People always have to give first before they can gain.
Lin Xiaotang lowered her head and ate without saying anything more.
The relationship between parents and children is often like planting a tree.
Children are saplings and parents are tree planters.
Parents need to fertilize, irrigate and prune.
Only with time, energy, and enough love can the sapling grow better.
Of course, even without these things from their parents, children will always have other ways to grow up.
Just like wild flowers, wild grasses and wild trees, they all have their own brilliance through the natural cycle of transformation.
However, when the small tree planted by parents is full of fruits, parents can enjoy the sweetness of the fruit and the cool shade under the tree.
This is a natural response.
It is useless for parents who have done nothing to complain that the young trees do not bear fruit and cannot provide them with shade.
This is the relationship of cause and effect and reincarnation.
Lin Xiaotang couldn't comment, nor did she want to force any of them.
If he forced himself to get close to Mrs. Fu, Mrs. Fu might be happier, but she might have a lot of emotional troubles and it would also bring unnecessary burden to Fu Hansheng.
Or forcing Fu Hansheng to get close to Mrs. Fu. Just thinking about that scene made Lin Xiaotang feel uncomfortable.
Fu Hansheng is not the type of person who would get close to anyone other than her and the child.
So, since no one can force themselves to accept anything, it is better for everyone to be themselves and not expect things that should not happen.
This way no one will be too tired.
Good relationships are formed through daily interactions, not through blood ties.
Fu Hansheng and Lin Xiaotang both understood this truth, but Mrs. Fu didn't quite understand it.
She wanted to be close to her son, but felt that he was too cold, so she used the child and Lin Xiaotang as a breakthrough.
But when she saw her son being close to Lin Xiaotang, she felt a little sad.
That was the child she had carried for ten months, endured the pain for several days, and guarded day and night. After more than ten years of separation, it seemed that she had lost the chance of intimacy with him forever.
All of Fu Hansheng's tenderness was given to Lin Xiaotang.
As a mother, she missed her child's growth and lost her child's tenderness.
Mrs. Fu felt like crying.
She could tell that Fu Hansheng glanced at Lin Xiaotang before picking up the food for her.
So this was not his son’s original intention at all, it was Lin Xiaotang’s instruction.
She did not deny that Lin Xiaotang was a very good child, but now she had to consider Lin Xiaotang's face everywhere. She felt that she would rather continue to be imprisoned in Prajna Courtyard to have less worries.
This is a very tangled mentality.
Mrs. Fu was entangled in these emotions and felt lost and irritated.
But as a mother, she also has the most basic understanding——
As long as the children are happy, that's enough.
Although Mrs. Fu was still feeling very upset, she managed to adjust her mood in a very short time.
Mrs. Fu picked up some food for Lin Xiaotang and said, "Xiaotang, eat more. One person can absorb more food for two people. You still have to pay attention to nutrition. If you need any help from me, don't hesitate to ask."
"Thank you, Mom."
Lin Xiaotang smiled as she ate the food that Mrs. Fu picked for her, and said with a smile that if she needed help, she would definitely ask without hesitation. Family members should be tolerant of each other.
A good family atmosphere is the best teacher for children.
Sixian Siqi saw that everyone was passing food to each other, so he followed the example of his parents and grandmother and used a serving chopstick to pass food to everyone. The harmonious and happy scene at the table was restored.
The corners of Fu Hansheng's lips twitched and he ate with a smile.
This scene had appeared in his dreams countless times.
He had thought countless times that one day he would be able to sit down and have a good meal with his wife, children and mother.
