Chapter 220 Raising a son is not a goose
Taozhi smiled from ear to ear: "Raising a son is not like raising a goose baby."
"How do you know it's a son?" Xie Yan frowned and put all the dishes on the plate.
What does he want three sons for?
When we lock him up in the mountains in the future, are we worried that he might run away, so we send more people to carry stones to block the door?
It's not like he hasn't seen before: the more sons a village's elderly have, the faster they die.
Old man Liu who died a few days ago was killed because his son treated him like a dog, made him live in an old house with leaks, and put the food at his doorstep for him to eat.
When it rains, there is still a lot of water in the bowl, so I eat it anyway.
A few months ago, when they were eating from the communal pot, he could still pick up some, but now...
He died of illness.
"My intuition tells me so." Taozhi raised her eyebrows slightly. "A son is also good. It doesn't matter whether it's a boy or a girl."
"It's quite important." Xie Yan cleaned the pot. "If we have three sons, one of them will live in Anshi, one in the provincial capital, and one in Jinghai. We two old people will have to separate. You go to Anshi and I go to the provincial capital. We are a million miles apart."
"puff."
Taozhi heard this and was unable to refute: "Let's all live in the village."
"If we live in the village, and we want to divide the family property, none of our three sons want us."
Taozhi: “…”
What is Xie Yan thinking about all day and night?
Taozhi said helplessly: "We are two children, we shouldn't be so unfilial."
"Who knows." Xie Yan continued cooking: "Anyway, we can always hope for the worst. If he turns out to be obedient and filial in the future, then we will be lucky."
Taozhi couldn't refute it, so she could only give up the topic.
Taozhi raised her eyes to look at him: "By the way, what happened to you yesterday? Why are you unhappy?"
Xie Yan's expression remained calm: "A group of sea turtles from the ocean have arrived at the factory."
Taozhi was puzzled: "Sea turtle? Why is a sea turtle in the factory? Are they keeping it in a bucket?"
What turtle? Do turtles have nowhere to crawl? Let Xie Yan pick up turtles, but not give him a chance to practice?
Taozhi's imagination ran wild, and he wanted to go somewhere else.
But Xie Yan was very calm: "Well, those bastards look down on people."
Taozhi was stunned for a moment, then couldn't help laughing: "Xie Yan, you... you said I was an international student from overseas."
"Those are all really talented people."
Xie Yan was cooking, his tone cold: "I heard that they can be called sea turtles."
“…”Okay.
"Are they rather proud?" Taozhi looked at Xie Yan: "Xie Yan is also very good. He doesn't bother with them."
Xie Yan wasn't the type of person who insisted on being valued by others, so he wasn't angry because someone stole his limelight.
It must be that those people are not tactful in their words and are arrogant because they have studied abroad for a few years.
Only Xie Yan would be angry for them.
Xie Yan sneered: "They said I was only fit to clean the place."
Taozhi pursed her lips, knowing that there was more to it than that. Xie Yan had really grown up by not sending those people to the hospital...
Xie Yan was in a good mood and said, "So they all went to the hospital."
Taozhi: “…” Just pretend I didn’t say anything.
"The factory director asked me to transfer to another department. I didn't agree, and there was nothing he could do. I was introduced by the secretary."
Xie Yan looked at the dishes and said, "So, I will also let them know that if they talk nonsense, they will be beaten. Besides, I will do better. Although some of them are very good, it doesn't mean that people who climbed up from the grassroots can only sweep the floor!"
