“…”
"Do you still want to listen to me?"
Comrade Lao Du originally wanted to have a good chat with Du Chen, but one sentence made Du Chen speechless. After thinking about it, Comrade Lao Du found that what Du Chen said seemed to make sense.
"Dad, Dad, please continue!"
Du Chen chuckled and indicated that he was wrong, and asked Comrade Lao Du to continue.
"Eh? Where was I just talking about? I forgot everything when you interrupted me! I'm really getting old and my memory is not so good anymore!"
Comrade Lao Du scratched his head and suddenly found that he could not remember what he had just said.
When Du Chen heard the adjective "old" and saw Comrade Lao Du's gray temples, he felt a chill in his heart. He thought of Comrade Lao Du's physical condition in his previous life.
"How could that be, Dad? You're only in your fifties, how can you say you're old?"
Du Chen hurriedly comforted Comrade Lao Du. Du Chen felt that there were two not-so-good mentalities. One was that people were old and in poor health but still refused to admit defeat. Such people were very irritable and would fight with themselves if they encountered any physical dissatisfaction in life.
The other type is people who are young and in good health, but always say that they are old and useless. Maybe they just say it, but good things don't work, but bad things do. Isn't it the experience summarized by the ancients that one's words come true?
"Fifty is not old?"
Comrade Lao Du asked Du Chen with a smile.
"How can you be old? The leader said that if you live for 200 years, you will be able to swim 3,000 miles! If you calculate based on 200 years, you are still a child!"
Du Chen exaggeratedly told Old Du that sometimes people just hold onto a burning anger, afraid to let it out. Du Chen pondered carefully. Perhaps Old Du was simply too bored? While he hadn't retired, he no longer needed to work. Financially, his family was well-off, and he and his brother, Du Bin, had no problems with their children. Perhaps it was for these reasons that Old Du lamented his old age?
"Hey, my second child can talk!"
Comrade Lao Du laughed out loud after hearing what Du Chen said. Although he knew that Du Chen was just trying to cheer him up, Comrade Lao Du was really very happy.
"That's right, I live by this mouth!"
Du Chen just laughed it off at Comrade Lao Du.
"By the way, Dad, you and Mom have been having regular physical examinations, right? I remember I reminded you and Mom many times to have regular physical examinations!"
Du Chen's face straightened and he asked about the topic that concerned him most.
"Yes, not only did you remind us, your brother also called to remind us to have regular physical examinations. Your mother and I are in good health, so you and your brother can rest assured!"
Comrade Lao Du answered Du Chen's question with confidence.
"That's good! You and my mom have to take good care of yourselves. Sister Miaomiao is about to give birth, and you'll have to take care of the little one then, so you have to take good care of yourselves!"
"Second brother, do you think your sister-in-law is pregnant with a boy or a girl?"
Comrade Lao Du suddenly blinked and asked Du Chen.
"How should I know that? But do you prefer boys or girls?"
Du Chen also blinked and looked at Comrade Lao Du. He really didn't know anything about this matter...
"Everything is okay? I didn't specifically say whether I like boys or girls."
"Oh, don't you like your eldest grandson? You earn so much money, shouldn't you leave it for your eldest grandson?"
Du Chen couldn't help but tease Comrade Lao Du.
"Tsk, I don't have a throne waiting to be inherited. Boys and girls are all members of our Du family, they are all the same!"
"What if Uncle Ding wants the child to have the surname Ding? After all, Uncle Ding only has one daughter, Sister Miaomiao!"
Du Chen raised his eyebrows and began to sow discord.
"If he wants to be named Ding, let him have another child on his own. Why is he getting involved with me?"
Comrade Lao Du answered Du Chen's questions with disdain and completely ignored Du Chen's moves.
Du Chen endured it and said nothing. Even if Uncle Ding wanted it, he would have to have the conditions first. But Du Chen only dared to think about it in his heart. If he said such words, Comrade Lao Du would have to deal with him, not to mention if it got to Lao Ding's ears, then he would be really finished.
"Second brother, do you like boys or girls?"
Comrade Lao Du couldn't help but ask Du Chen again. It would have been better if Du Chen didn't mention it. Now his mind was full of thoughts about whether Ding Miaomiao was carrying a boy or a girl.
"I'm fine with both, but you prefer girls, right? Girls are obedient and sensible, so girls are better!"
"What if your brother has a girl and you want one too? That would be a bit..."
For a moment, Comrade Lao Du was thinking quite far ahead, but Du Chen understood what Comrade Lao Du meant.
"Dad, you're overthinking it. If your sister-in-law gives birth to a girl, you won't have sex with my brother and his family to have a second child, right? Is it because you can't afford the fine? Or is my brother just relying on the few hundred yuan in one-child allowance from his company?"
Du Chen couldn't remember whether there was a fine for having a second child. He had no recollection of this. What he did remember was that the two-child policy was gradually relaxed, and later on, people were encouraged to have a second child, and even a third...
“That makes sense!”
Comrade Lao Du nodded and suddenly understood.
"If you think it makes sense, then you can discuss it with my brother!"
"Do you think your sister-in-law would agree?"
Comrade Lao Du suddenly remembered Ding Miaomiao's opinion.
"I think my sister-in-law has no problem with it, but my brother may not be willing to have a second child. Not to mention the financial issues, but also the energy. I think with my brother's personality, he would not want a second child!"
Du Chen rolled his eyes and put some eye drops on Du Bin.
