Chapter 98: When do you plan to have a child?
Chen Jintao had already decided to return the money to her grandmother and uncles and aunts. If it weren't for her grandmother and uncles' insistence, she would definitely not have been able to continue reading this book.
"What are you doing?" Old Mrs. Xu's face suddenly turned stern. "How much did you spend on your studies? We still have the money. You just got married, and you have a lot of places to spend money!"
Chen Jintao knew that the old lady would not accept the money so easily.
The three aunts were also saying something similar to the old lady. Everyone meant the same thing. As long as Chen Jintao lived a good life in the future, they would not want the money.
Chen Jintao looked at her parents.
Xu Xuemei thought for a moment and said, "Mom, brothers and sisters-in-law, since Taozi has given you this money, you should keep it. You really helped too much in the beginning. The children are all grown up now and are about to get married. The family also needs money."
Liu Guifen also said, "Yes, auntie, you can just keep the money. If you hadn't helped me, my Beichuan wouldn't have been able to marry such an outstanding daughter-in-law?!"
They probably also heard from Chen Jintao and Huo Beichuan in their letters about their daughter-in-law's royalties, and knew that their daughter-in-law earned more than this amount of money from writing articles every month. Of course, they would not be reluctant to give it up. After all, they were normal people, and they knew that if it weren't for the Xu family, their daughter-in-law would not have such good fortune.
Chen Jintao did not spend the Xu family's 300 yuan. Education was very cheap at that time, but after all, she had supported him for so many years. Even if she spent eight or ten yuan a year, it would add up to a lot.
What's more, life was so difficult back then, and it was really rare that the Xu family was willing to spend money to support their granddaughter.
The three daughters-in-law of the Xu family are all good. If it were someone else's family, wouldn't there be a huge uproar?
In the end, Old Mrs. Xu accepted the money, feeling deeply moved.
They had supported Chen Jintao's studies, but never thought of getting anything in return from her. They just thought that if a girl studied more, it would be easier for her to find a husband in the future.
"Taozi has really made it big now. It's hard for you to be with the army alone. The climate there seems to be a little different from here. Can you get used to it?"
Old Mrs. Xu grabbed her granddaughter's hand with heartache.
"Grandma, I can get used to it. Although the climate there is a little different, it's not that bad. Except for the summer being a little uncomfortable, the winter isn't particularly cold either."
"That's good……"
As they talked, the topic began to deviate. After all, he was an old man and couldn't help but care about Shen Jintao's stomach.
"By the way, you and Beichuan have been married for a few months. When do you plan to have a child?"
When this issue was brought up, the elders in the family all stared at Shen Jintao with burning eyes.
Shen Jianmin rubbed his hands even more, "Hehehe, it would be great if Taozi gave birth to a little girl. Taozi was so well-behaved when she was little. If she gave birth to a daughter, she would definitely look a lot like her when she was little."
Everyone here watched Chen Jintao grow up, and everyone knows that Shen Jianmin was not exaggerating at all. Chen Jintao was really very cute when she was a child.
There is no other little girl as cute as her in the surrounding villages. It is no exaggeration to say that anyone who sees her will feel soft-hearted.
What's more, whether it is the Huo family or the Xu family, they are not families that favor boys over girls.
Shen Jintao blushed. She and Huo Beichuan had indeed not taken any precautions, but for some reason they hadn't gotten pregnant yet.
In her previous life, she never had a child of her own. After all, it was like being a widow. She was still an old maid until her death. How could she have a child?
Moreover, in her previous life, she raised a child for someone else. Only until her death did she realize that in the child's mind, she was just a free money-making tool and a free babysitter.
In this life, she and Huo Beichuan have a stable relationship. They are both very good-looking. If they really give birth to a child, it will definitely be very cute, right?
"Maybe it's fate. I also want to have a child. I hope he can come soon."
Seeing that Chen Jintao had no intention of rejecting having children, the elders were also very happy.
"Well, it's true that you can't get pregnant right away, so we don't need to rush."
Liu Guifen was afraid that her daughter-in-law would have some psychological burden, so she hurried to comfort her.
We are all experienced people, so of course we know that this kind of thing cannot be rushed. Mood will also affect the conceiving of a new life. It is easiest to get pregnant if you relax.
"Yeah, I know!"
…
I don’t know if it’s because I can’t talk about it, but two days after bringing up this topic, Shen Jintao suddenly started to feel sick.
This frightened Xu Xuemei so much that she quickly ran to call Liu Guifen and took Shen Jintao to the town hospital for examination.
Okay! She’s really pregnant!
This news surprised and delighted them.
I was happy that there would be a cute little baby in the family soon, but I couldn't help but worry about Chen Jintao.
She must go back to the army, after all, she is still working in the school, but it will take more than a day or two to take a train. She is now pregnant, and her two mothers are determined not to let her go back to the army alone.
After discussing it, the two women finally decided to leave their men behind and escort Shen Jintao back to the army.
Liu Guifen thought for a moment and said, "Taozi, you are pregnant now. Your mother and I will send you back to the army, and then I will stay there to take care of you. Do you think this arrangement is okay?"
Chen Jintao had no objection to living with her mother-in-law. After all, her mother-in-law was very easy to talk to, loved cleanliness, and had no bad habits. She was also inexperienced and was indeed worried that some of the things she didn't understand would hurt the child.
“No problem!”
"It's settled then, let's go back and talk to your dad and the others. However, your dad will definitely go and live with your maternal dad," Liu Guifen felt helpless when she talked about this. Her husband was good at working, but he knew nothing about kitchen matters and could only cook noodles.
Their son has perfectly inherited his father's bad habits. The only daughter who can cook also has to go to work, so the father and son are in trouble at noon.
"Hahaha, it's okay. My Jianmin can cook and we can let my in-laws go over and eat with him. I'm still worried because this is the first three generations of our two families. We have to be careful. I'll go over and take care of him for a few days!" Xu Xuemei now feels content as she has a grandson, and she can't take care of the two people in the family, one big and one small.
Chen Jintao was touched, but felt it was a little too exaggerated. However, she did not dampen their enthusiasm as she could not spoil their fun.
Sure enough, before going back, Liu Guifen went out to buy a bunch of things, all of which were good things for nourishing the body. She said that Chen Jintao would eat alone and two people would absorb it, so the nutrition must keep up, otherwise even if Chen Jintao ate, she might not be able to snatch it from the baby in her belly.
Take herself for example. She became thinner and thinner when she was pregnant with Huo Beichuan. Her belly did grow bigger, but the boy weighed more than five kilograms when he was born. On the contrary, she, as a mother, was so thin that it was scary to see her.
