Chapter 1253: Missing the Right Time
Shuangxi is a straightforward person, and most of the time he would just say something like that while chatting.
Not that there was really any malicious intent.
It’s just that some of the words sound a little subtle, and people can’t help but think too much.
Especially for Tian Guihua.
Tian Guihua takes care of Lu Miao's food, clothing and daily life, and does her best in every aspect.
But Shuangxi’s words were indeed correct in some places.
For example, no matter what food or drinks were prepared at home, after Lu Miao's portion was served, she and her two children, Minjie and Minrui, would eat together.
After being refused several times by Lu Miao and Fu Jingyou at first, Tian Guihua didn't think it was a big deal anymore.
But now after hearing what Shuangxi said, Tian Guihua suddenly felt uncomfortable and uneasy.
She couldn't help but reflect on whether it was inappropriate for her to bring her child to eat and drink with her, and whether she was really too inconsiderate.
What do outsiders think of their family?
Do you think that their whole family is taking advantage of Lu Miao and Fu Jingyou?
Just as I was daydreaming, Fu Jingyou's words were like a breeze that blew away the knot in my heart.
Tian Guihua's heavy heart suddenly froze, and then suddenly became clear.
Shaking her head, Tian Guihua's brows relaxed and she soon smiled.
yes.
They are a family.
Precisely because we are a family, there is no such thing as right or wrong.
She was overthinking...
Fu Jingyou's words were appropriate and pleasant, and no one could find fault with them.
Shuangxi was a sincere person, and after hearing that, he agreed and said immediately:
"I wouldn't believe it if someone else said it, but if it was Brother Xiaoliu and Sister Xiaoliu, then I would definitely believe it! Before, the team leader came to the village and said that even though you have made a name for yourself outside, you haven't forgotten our hometown."
Shuangxi raised his chin towards the village and said seriously:
"Now that the children are in school, they say that many of the books were brought back by you. Everyone in the village remembers your kindness!"
Lu Miao raised his chopsticks hand slightly and said with a calm smile:
"There's no need to study hard...it's all for show. Behind the scenes, we're all the same, each with our own difficulties. Right now, we're all from the same village, so we should do what we can. If we can't do that in the future, don't blame us."
Shuangxi and Cuihong quickly shook their heads:
"That's definitely not possible!"
"How can we do such a thing? Although we deal with the land and may not have much culture, we are all honest and sincere, so there are no twists and turns!"
Lu Miao smiled.
Talking about this topic is like showing superiority, which she doesn't like.
Seeing that the atmosphere at the table had almost calmed down, he simply changed the subject and asked:
"Why are there only the two of you today? Didn't Fengxia come with you? Then there's one less person to play the leaf cards?"
Lu Miao wasn't really thinking about playing mahjong.
Fengxia, Shuangxi and the other two have a good relationship, and they usually come together to sit together during the summary.
There was suddenly one person missing today, and she was curious, so she asked casually.
Unexpectedly, this casual question also brought out some hidden gossip.
First, Shuangxi said that it didn't matter if there was one less person, and that his second sister-in-law, Tian Guihua, could take over.
At the back, the Fu family cleared the table of dishes and chopsticks. Tian Guihua sat with them at the small table and drew cards. Cuihong said mysteriously:
"Fengxia's family said she went back to visit relatives, but that's not true. A few days ago, I heard that the brigade over there had started checking fertility again. Calculating the time, they might be coming to our place soon... She probably hid away early because she was afraid someone would come looking for her."
When talking about fertility, Shuangxi took pictures with one hand and touched her bulging belly with the other. He looked at Cuihong with wide eyes, looking a little nervous.
Lu Miao understood immediately and asked in surprise:
"What? Fengxia is eighteen, not even nineteen yet? And she's pregnant with her second child already?"
Tian Guihua played a single-card card and said:
"It's like this in the village. You were too busy studying away from home to have time, otherwise Xiaochuan would have been born early."
Lu Miao nodded slightly, understanding what was said.
Although there were not many entertainment options at that time, the city was still better than the remote countryside.
Take Dahe Village for example, it still doesn’t have electricity.
Men and women work in the fields during the day, eat and take a bath at night, and can do nothing but do that.
Another thing is that rural areas value a large population.
When boys grow up, they become strong laborers.
When girls grow up, they can do housework and help take care of their younger siblings, which is appropriate no matter how you look at it.
As long as they can have children, most people are willing to do so.
In rural families, it is rare to have only two brothers like Brother He Da Ge and Brother He Er Ge.
Normally, the number starts at three or five.
Although we now have a birth policy, the policy cannot change people’s mindsets.
The vast majority of families will still have children if they want to, even if it means going against the law.
"I just married into the village last year and haven't even met Xiao Liu's wife's child yet!"
Cuihong grabbed the cards and tilted her head to look at Lu Miao:
"Sister-in-law Xiaoliu, how many children do you have? How old are they now?"
Speaking of children, Lu Miao's face showed a gentle and bright smile:
"I have four children. The eldest is a boy who will be fourteen soon. The second and third are twins, a boy and a girl, who will be twelve this year. The youngest is also a boy who will be seven in June."
Cuihong was surprised:
"Oh! Xiaoliu's wife, what about your three boys? That's great! They'll all be strong laborers in the future!"
After saying that, Cuihong looked envious again:
"That's great...it's just that we didn't catch up with that good time. Whether it's a boy or a girl, it's probably difficult to have so many children now."
Lu Miao smiled faintly and said objectively:
"Having more children is a lot of fun, but when they do get noisy, it can be really noisy. As for the pros... well, half and half. Whether you have a lot or a little depends on fate, and simply pursuing more isn't good either."
Lu Miao's sense of boundaries makes him unwilling to preach to others.
So there was one thing she kept in her heart and didn't say it out loud.
As parents, we also have responsibilities.
Regardless of how good the conditions are for the children, at least they can be taught a skill so that they can stand on their own in the future.
If you just give birth to a child but don't care about raising it, it will be a disastrous start for the child.
Several people at the table were casually playing cards and chatting, and no one noticed that Shuangxi was a little unusual.
It was only when Tian Guihua showed her cards and said she had won, and Shuangxi was still playing cards in a daze, that Lu Miao and the others realized that something was wrong with her.
Pregnant women have different physical conditions than ordinary people, and they may feel uncomfortable at any time.
Shuangxi was not as lively and talkative as before. Instead, he didn't speak for a long time and his expression was not very good.
Lu Miao quickly put down the leaf card and asked with concern:
"Shuangxi, are you feeling unwell? Why do you look so bad?"
Shuangxi's smile was forced:
"Haha, no, no... I just don't know what happened, I suddenly felt a little tired. Sister-in-law Xiaoliu, I'll go back today. I'll come over and sit with you tomorrow when I'm free."
