On the wedding day, Mo Baiyuan cried the whole time. Mo Baiyuan was just like his father, tall and big. Watching Song Xiaoxiao get married, he silently wiped away his tears with red eyes.
Zhou Fu sent a large red envelope to his brother-in-law.
Mo Baiyuan clenched his fists. "You have to take good care of my sister. If she suffers any injustice, I won't let you get away with it!"
Mo Baiyuan was still in high school, but he sounded quite convincing when he made those threats.
Zhou Fu smiled and said, "Don't worry, I will treat Xiaoxiao well."
Today is the wedding day, and the entire Song family is here. Song Xinfu and Song Zhicheng's whole family is here, and Song Xiaoxiao has ten siblings. This doesn't even include the relatives from the Mo family. There are almost ten tables of people from her maternal family alone.
Zhou Fu only met all of Song Xiaoxiao's family members today.
At the wedding banquet, as far as the eye could see, there were only little kids.
The most outstanding one among them is Song Lijun.
Song Liyun is fair-skinned and chubby with a round face, which looks cheerful. The little girl has a loud and clear voice, full of energy. She is the youngest and has the most spirit when playing.
When toasting, Song Liyun came up to Song Xiaoxiao and hugged her leg.
"Auntie Xiaoxiao, you look so beautiful today, the most beautiful ever!"
Song Xiaoxiao teased her intentionally, "Wasn't I pretty before?"
Song Liyun shook her head, held up one finger, and said seriously, "You're the most, most, most beautiful today~~~"
Song Xiaoxiao couldn't resist pinching the little girl's chubby cheeks.
Zhou Fu looked at Song Liyun and felt a strong urge to have a daughter like her. His family did not have the idea of favoring sons over daughters, and he just wanted to have a little girl like Song Liyun.
The couple bought their wedding home not far from Song Xiaoxiao's company. It was a large house, and both families contributed to the purchase.
In November, Song Xiaoxiao was found to be pregnant.
Both of them hoped that the baby in their belly would be a girl.
Song Xiaoxiao's prenatal checkup was at the hospital where Zhou Fu worked. The obstetrician and gynecologist upheld professional ethics and didn't reveal a word about it. Zhou Fu didn't ask any questions either, and waited for the results to be announced a few months later.
Song Yun would come to see Song Xiaoxiao every few days to cook for her. Zhou Fu's parents had also retired and often came to visit their pregnant daughter-in-law. Both families were eagerly watching Song Xiaoxiao's belly.
Song Xiaoxiao often gets goosebumps from their stares and just wants to give birth and regain her freedom as soon as possible.
The child was born the following summer.
Song Xiaoxiao and Zhou Fu's wish was not fulfilled.
She gave birth to a son.
Okay.
Sons are treasures too.
The newlywed couple was completely overwhelmed by their baby, so Song Yun and Zhou Fu's mother took turns coming to their bridal chamber once a week to take care of their grandson.
Song Xiaoxiao didn't have enough breast milk, so her son was exclusively formula-fed. She went back to work after her maternity leave ended.
Zhou Chengyue is a high-needs baby, unlike the babies Song Xiaoxiao had encountered before. Even the mischievous Song Mingzhou was quiet when he was a few months old, and only became mischievous after he could walk.
From the moment Zhou Chengyue was born, he cried a lot at night. It was hard to get him to sleep, but he would wake up as soon as he was put in bed.
Song Xiaoxiao couldn't bear to see Song Yun and her mother-in-law overworked, and she couldn't stay up late either. Zhou Fu was a doctor, so he couldn't stay up late either. Therefore, Song Xiaoxiao asked Song Yun to help her find a reliable nanny to professionally take care of the child.
The adults breathed a sigh of relief. Even so, Song Yun and Zhou Fu's mother still came over once a week. It took four adults in the family to take care of Zhou Chengyue.
Song Xiaoxiao was very worried, wondering what would happen if Zhou Chengyue turned out to be as mischievous as Song Mingzhou.
Zhou Fu told her to relax.
Zhou Fu's mother also tried to persuade him, saying that Zhou Fu was also a crybaby when he was little, but he has become more mature as he has grown up.
Back in the room, Song Xiaoxiao immediately pinched Zhou Fu's waist.
"No wonder, my mom said I was very quiet when I was little, I inherited that from you!"
Zhou Fu was also at a loss, and could only comfort Song Xiaoxiao, "It's okay, it'll be fine once he can understand human speech."
Both of them had dark circles under their eyes.
Although Song Xiaoxiao found the baby noisy, seeing Zhou Chengyue change every day, her maternal love was released to the maximum extent, and she rushed home to see her son as soon as she got off work every day.
When Zhou Chengyue was nine months old, Song Xiaoxiao began to feel something was wrong. Her life was completely occupied by Zhou Chengyue. This was not good. Looking back, she realized that she had never had any time alone since giving birth, and she hadn't even gone out with Gao Ling alone for a long time.
Song Xiaoxiao shook her head and began to consciously reflect on how to balance work and childcare. Zhou Fu was the same as her, going home to take care of the child as soon as he got off work every day. The couple hadn't had any time alone together for a long time.
Zhou Fu had actually wanted to bring this up a month ago, but he didn't know how to bring it up with Song Xiaoxiao.
Both of them were first-time parents and were ambitious people. After a long chat, they decided to go out for a day to enjoy some time alone together.
So this weekend, the couple left the baby with Zhou Fu's mother and went out for a day trip, shopping, watching movies, and eating. By the end of the day, they had regained their pre-baby state.
So Song Xiaoxiao clapped her hands and decided, "From now on, we'll go out once a week!"
Zhou Fu agreed with Song Xiaoxiao, smiling gently, "Okay."
After this reflection, Gao Ling also felt that Song Xiaoxiao was different; her former drive at work had returned.
A year later, Song Xiaoxiao was promoted. Her personality had undergone a complete transformation after Zhuang Pinghua's affair years ago. She wanted to take independent control of her own life and no one could interfere.
As Zhou Fu's mother said, Zhou Chengyue became quiet after he learned to walk, rarely cried, and loved to walk every day. Song Xiaoxiao said that he would definitely be able to participate in the Olympics in the future, either in race walking or track and field.
The child was far less troublesome than Song Xiaoxiao had imagined.
Back in Heping Lane, Song Liyun loved playing with Zhou Chengyue because her younger brother never cried or made a fuss, and he was her little follower. He would do whatever Song Liyun asked him to do.
But Song Xiaoxiao's peace of mind came too early.
When Zhou Chengyue started kindergarten, his mischievous side emerged, making him just as naughty as Song Mingzhou and Song Lijun.
Song Xiaoxiao and Zhou Fu took turns going to kindergarten and were criticized by the teacher.
Good heavens, whose parents are called in as early as kindergarten?
Zhou Fu's mother comforted the two of them, "It's okay, it's okay, maybe it will be fine when you start elementary school."
Like Song Liyun, Zhou Chengyue loved catching small animals. The incident of putting a snake in a book bag happened again, but this time it was filled with eels instead of snakes.
Song Xiaoxiao has been afraid of mollusks since she was a child.
After seeing what was in her schoolbag that time, she was so frightened that she dropped it on the ground. The eel was wriggling on the ground. Song Xiaoxiao was so scared that she ran back to Heping Lane that night.
This time, Zhou Fu gave Zhou Chengyue a very serious lecture.
Zhou Chengyue's mischievous life took a turn from then on, perhaps because he had truly matured.
Two months later, he became Song Xiaoxiao's worry-free and obedient son.
