But the reality is contrary to our wishes.
Sometimes, the more people hope for something, the easier it is to fail.
Han Rou was in pain in the hospital for a day and a night, and finally gave birth to a big fat boy weighing about seven pounds in the evening of the next day.
When Gao Qian heard the news, she hugged Xiong Qingqing and was stunned for a while.
She thought of Xiong Qingqing's mother, that gentle and warm-hearted woman. She wondered if she would regret having a second child when she saw her daughter being treated so coldly in the underworld.
You will definitely regret it.
Men are so heartless. They remarry after just two months of their wife's demise. When they got married, they said they would not have children within three months, but they got one just after half a month. They always said they loved Qingqing the most, but they never took any action and could not see when their child was wronged.
A man like this is not worth a woman risking her life to give birth to a child for him.
The more Gao Qian thought about it, the sadder she felt, and her eyes gradually became moist.
She put her face against Xiong Qingqing's forehead and murmured to herself, "My dear, what are you going to do in the future?"
Xiong Qingqing looked confused. She was so young that she didn't know what it meant for her stepmother to give birth to a younger brother. She put her hand on Gao Qian's face and asked in confusion, "Aunt Gao, why are you crying?"
Gao Qian shook her head: "No, Auntie didn't cry. Auntie was just blinded by the sand in the wind."
Xiong Qingqing tilted her head in confusion, not knowing where the wind and sand came from in the closed room.
She was sensible and didn't argue. Instead, she hugged Gao Qian and patted her on the back: "Auntie, don't cry."
"Well, don't cry, auntie, I still have to support Qingqing."
Her family's Lao Shao is still the deputy battalion commander. If he fails to get promoted in the future, he will have to retire and return to his hometown when he is forty at the latest. The most she can do is help Qingqing for eight years.
Eight months later, I wonder what the situation will be like.
Gao Qian wiped away her tears and coaxed Xiong Qingqing to play with Xinxin. She took out the family's food book to see how many eggs were left for this month. If not, she would have to go to the village to buy more.
The birth of a new baby is a happy event and gifts are essential.
In the future, she will have to build a good relationship with Han Rou and interact with her more often.
Gao Qian was planning to give a more generous gift, but Yun Qiao didn't have that worry. She just wanted to buy the same gift Han Rou gave her when she gave birth to Yanyan some time ago and return it to her.
Their relationship was not that serious, so Yun Qiao did not go to the hospital to visit Han Rou. He waited until Han Rou was discharged from the hospital and most of the neighbors started sending eggs. Then he followed his next-door neighbor Yuan Jiahui to deliver eggs to Han Rou's home.
Yun Qiao was just there for the formality, but unexpectedly Han Rou was very enthusiastic.
Not only did he invite them to drink sweet soup, he also asked Xiong Xiangzhong to take out oranges from his home for them to eat.
At the end of November, oranges are considered seasonal fruits in the south, but the shipping cost alone is a huge amount of money to transport them all the way from the south to the northernmost part of the country. When spread over the oranges, a pound of oranges costs more than meat.
Yun Qiao and Yuan Jiahui didn't want to take it, but Han Rou was so enthusiastic that they had to take it.
After taking the orange, he didn't want to leave immediately, so he had to sit down and chat with Han Rou for a while.
Han Rou was half lying on the kang, with a baby who was only a few days old wrapped in a brand new blanket next to her.
The baby had his eyes closed and a chubby face. It was hard to tell whether he was pretty or ugly. He was just a standard fat boy.
Yun Qiao and Yuan Jiahui gave formulaic compliments, "The child is growing up strong," "He's so chubby, he's really well-raised," "His facial features resemble Captain Xiong, he'll definitely grow up tall and strong in the future," and "Captain Xiong is so kind to you. He feels sorry for the hardship you went through giving birth, and he even hired a nanny to take care of you..."
Both sides were acting, so the atmosphere in the room was harmonious.
Until Yuan Jiahui accidentally asked: "Where is your eldest daughter? She has been home for a while, why hasn't she come out?"
