"Don't worry so much, what's meant to happen will happen."
"Besides, having too many babies at once isn't good for your health, so you don't need to worry so much. And neither Qingguo nor Dada have said anything about it, have they?"
Song Lili felt that Lin Xue's actions were unfounded, yet they were very much in line with the characteristics of this era.
At that time, the belief was that having many children meant many blessings, and her thinking was not wrong.
"That's true, but... all the wives who came into the family with me have already had two children, and I only have Xiao Zhe now. I... don't feel at ease."
Song Lili secretly rolled her eyes. "Why do you care what others do? It's your life, and as long as you're happy with it, nobody can tell you what to do."
"Look at me, Xiao Chen is already five years old, and I'm only now pregnant with my second child. It's nothing. Your older brother is just as happy, isn't he?"
"Qingguo is a down-to-earth and practical person. As long as you two are doing well, does it matter how many children you have?"
In her view, quality is more important than quantity when it comes to children.
Just look at how modern families educate their children. Families usually only have one or two children, but they all value education. Once they grow up, one person's energy can be equivalent to that of several people.
Therefore, having more children is not necessarily a good thing.
"Sister-in-law, now that you mention it, it seems to make sense," Lin Xue said with a smile.
"So don't worry, what's meant to come will come, it's just that the time hasn't come yet."
After saying that, she yawned and said, "Okay, I'm going to take a nap. I'm so sleepy. You can look after the child."
"Okay, I'm going out now. You can go to sleep."
Lin Xue watched as Song Lili, after only a few words, had already fallen fast asleep on the kang (a heated brick bed).
She glanced enviously at Song Lili's belly, then smiled, thinking that Song Lili really had the ability to bewitch people.
Just those few words actually made her less worried, and she even felt that life was pretty good as it was.
She smiled, gently closed the door, went outside and sat under the eaves, watching the two children frolic in the yard.
As for Song Lili, she slept for a really long time.
In the past, I was always thinking about it, so I couldn't sleep soundly and would wake up after just over two hours.
But today I felt at ease and slept soundly until the sun was setting.
"Sister-in-law, you're awake?" Lin Xue had already started preparing dinner.
"Hmm." Song Lili felt a little stuffy, a side effect of sleeping too much.
"Wake up, I'm going to the kitchen to make dinner." Seeing that Song Lili was still dazed, Lin Xue smiled and went into the kitchen.
She didn't feel any resentment, because when she was pregnant, Song Lili did all these things by herself.
So now it's her turn.
Song Lili nodded blankly, sitting on the bluestone in the courtyard, her gaze vacant.
"Mom, what's wrong?" Little Baozi ran over and leaned against Song Lili to ask.
"Hmm, Mom probably slept too much. Her mind isn't quite right now, but she'll be fine in a bit," Song Lili said sleepily, touching the little boy's face.
"Mommy's a little pig, she slept for so long, I called you but you didn't hear me." The little dumpling couldn't find a way to complain.
"Really?" Song Lili really didn't know; she was fast asleep and hadn't heard a sound at all.
"Auntie said you were tired, Mom, and told me not to call you," the little boy pouted, still a bit unhappy.
"Then next time you call me, I'll wake up right away, okay?"
"good"
Now, the little dumpling was happy and left Song Lili and the other little dumpling to dig a hole in the corner.
That evening, after everyone had arrived, Zhang Qinghua announced the good news, which made the entire Zhang family very happy.
"Really? That's wonderful! I'll have a grandson to hold again!" Zhang Shengtian said with great joy.
His face, tanned dark and reddish, was lined with several wrinkles, but his eyes conveyed joy.
"Congratulations, brother and sister-in-law!" Zhang Qingguo said happily.
"You went out at noon just for this?" Zhang Shengtian suddenly remembered what happened at noon.
Zhang Qinghua nodded, "Yes, I went to see Dr. Gao, and he said I'm pregnant."
"Haha, that's great! I hope it's a granddaughter this time." Zhang Shengtian laughed heartily.
Song Lili couldn't help but laugh, thinking to herself that they really were father and son, even their thoughts were exactly the same.
I was hoping that the baby in my belly was a girl.
Thinking about it, I feel anxious again. This family probably doesn't like girls, which is upsetting. But they like them too much, which also makes me anxious.
What if it turns out like Zhang Aiai?
Wouldn't my hair be several layers white by then?
Or maybe we should have a son. At least then the men in the family won't be so unreasonable.
However, she kept this thought to herself and dared not say it out loud, for fear of being ganged up on.
This good news made the whole family happy all night.
Only the two little buns were still clueless. Little Chen asked cutely, "Mommy, what happened?"
"Our Xiaochen is going to have a younger brother or sister, so she can play with you. Do you want a younger brother or sister?"
"Little brother? Xiao Zhe? Little sister? Auntie's little sister? I'm pregnant, I don't want her." The little dumpling waved his hand angrily, "I want a big brother."
Song Lili: "..."
Son, I don't have the ability to give you an older brother.
"I want my sister." Unexpectedly, the little dumpling said again, puffing up his cheeks.
Now, Song Lili could only look up at the sky; she really didn't have that ability.
"Hehe..." Zhang Qinghua couldn't help but laugh out loud at the sight of the mother and son.
Song Lili glared fiercely at Zhang Qinghua, then huffed, "No older brother or sister? Blame your uncle! He's the oldest, so you can't even call anyone 'older brother' or 'older sister'! Humph!"
With a cold snort, Song Lili lay down, turning her back to the father and son, ignoring them.
"It's all your fault, Daddy." The little dumpling followed suit, puffing out his cheeks as he said this, then trotted over to Song Lili, sticking his little bottom out and crawling into Song Lili's bed.
"Haha..." Song Lili was amused and gave her son a big kiss on the cheek. "Son, you're amazing."
Turning my head, I saw Zhang Qinghua's speechless expression. My mood improved even more.
The inexplicable anger from before had vanished, leaving only happiness.
"The two of you," Zhang Qinghua could only helplessly tap Song Lili's nose. What else could he say?
These are his own wife and son; he can only put up with it.
Little Baozi didn't know what Song Lili was laughing at, so he just giggled along and crawled up to Zhang Qinghua like a caterpillar, saying, "Big brother, I want one too! I want one too!"
Zhang Qinghua was even more helpless. He could only reach out his finger and tap the little bun's nose. "Alright, time to sleep."
