Shen Wanhua and Su Su can be considered childhood sweethearts.
The difference is that there is friendship and family affection between the two of them, but no love.
Su Su had a mental illness when she was a child for some reasons, and it became more and more serious as she grew up. Later, it was extremely difficult for her to find a partner, which worried the two elders of the Su family.
When Mr. Shen came back, he learned that his wife and children were still alive, and that his old friend had taken care of him for many years, and he was very grateful.
After learning about Su Su's situation, he thought of bringing the two of them together. This would not only ease the worries of the two elders of the Su family, preserve the brotherly relationship between him and Grandpa Su, but also solve his son's lifelong issue.
The reason why Shen Wanhua and Su Su can be together is all thanks to the matchmaking of the two elders, and also because they are forced to get married.
But life after marriage was completely different from what they had imagined.
When we are friends, we all know each other's shortcomings, but since we don't have to live together all the time, occasional tolerance doesn't seem so difficult.
But when the two of them actually lived together, the daily necessities of life, coupled with Su Su's own symptoms and the trivialities after the birth of the child, made the two of them increasingly unable to tolerate each other.
In the end, even a trivial matter or a common word may lead to a quarrel between the two.
After a short separation, they finally agreed to set each other free.
But in this era, even a peaceful breakup is still unfair to the woman. Su Su couldn't stand the gossip of others, so she chose to live in another city.
But her choice was correct, otherwise she would not have met her current husband.
Shen Xiangzhi once thought that if he didn't exist, Shen Wanhua and Li Jing should be happy, but at the same time, he didn't think there was anything wrong with his existence, because it was something he couldn't choose.
In fact, if Li Jing could be more open-minded, he would realize that he is already so old and will have his own family in the future. He would not go back to that home often, and it would not be a hindrance to their family at all.
But she couldn't figure it out, so she was the only one who felt uncomfortable.
In Shen Xiangzhi's life, the most important people are his grandfather and grandparents who have accompanied and taken care of him since he was a child, and of course, now there are his wife and children.
As a son, he couldn't ignore Shen Wanhua, but he wouldn't let his wife and children be wronged to be humble to him just because he was his father.
Just like what happened tonight, he could choose not to go to the Shen family for dinner, but he would definitely make Shen Wanhua lose face and dignity in front of Li Jing.
He chose to go because, as a son, he was giving face to his father for giving birth to him, but husband and wife are one, and if the father looked down on his wife, it was just like he looked down on him.
You can’t blame him if you refuse to go to the Shen family in the future.
I shook my head and ignored the worries in my mind.
Chen Xiangzhi turned around, half-supporting his head to face An Hongdou, "Wife, if you don't agree to let Dabao and the others take grandpa's surname, we won't mention it, but I still have something I want to discuss with you, okay?"
"Well, go ahead." An Hongdou half-closed her eyes and was almost falling asleep.
What she finds most difficult to adapt to in this era is going to bed too early and the lack of entertainment activities.
But when she thought about the days when she was chased by zombies and cried for her parents, she should like this place more.
“Then can’t you just promise me first?” Shen Xiangzhi reached out and grabbed the ends of her hair, and playfully stroked it across her face.
The slight itch prompted her to open her eyes and snatch her hair back from his hands. "Don't try to trick me. Even if you succeed, I won't admit it."
Let’s not talk about others, but for your own man, if you want to act like a rogue, then act like a rogue. What else can you do?
That’s what An Hongdou thought.
Chen Xiangzhi frowned and said, "How about this, when Dabao and the others are a little older, we will have another child. Whether it's a boy or a girl, they will all have the surname Su, so that grandpa won't always regret that the Su family is extinct."
As he said that, Shen Xiangzhi sighed.
When he was young, his grandfather often lamented that it would be nice if he had the last name Su.
Unfortunately, Li Jing gave birth to three children in succession, all of them girls. As the only eldest grandson of the Shen family, although Mr. Shen felt sorry for his old friend, he could not let his family be cut off.
Therefore, the two old men had regrets about this, and even agreed that when Li Jing gave birth to a son, Shen Xiangzhi would change his surname.
Or, it would be good if Su Su could have another child, and the old couple could take care of it themselves without causing any worries for them.
Unfortunately, God is like this, the more you ask for something, the less likely it will come.
Li Jing gave birth to three girls, and Su Su only gave birth to one daughter, who was brought up by the Zhang family as if her life depended on her. The child, the lifeblood of the family, was taken care of by her grandparents since she was young.
Not to mention asking her to have another child, it would be simply fatal.
"Then when your son or daughter asks you in the future, 'Dad, why are my brothers all surnamed Su, but I was chosen? Am I adopted?' How will you answer?" An Hongdou asked him.
Don't think this won't happen, it is possible.
Why is An Hongdou so concerned about this matter?
Because when she was a child, there was such a situation next door. The twin brother and sister, one took their father's surname and the other took their mother's surname. The one with her mother's surname was always talked about behind her back since she was a burden brought by her mother.
In fact, the couple are each other's original spouse.
Shen Xiangzhi was silent.
He felt that An Hongdou's ideas were too different.
There have been such examples from ancient times to the present. Who would be so weird as to think about these things?
Shen Xiangzhi didn't know that An Hongdou's own experience was something she could naturally take into consideration.
However, when he really stopped talking, she couldn't help but wonder if what she said was too embarrassing.
“How about this, let’s let God make the decision.” An Hongdou suddenly sat up and looked at Shen Xiangzhi seriously.
Since you can't make up your mind, just rely on luck.
"What do you mean?" Shen Xiangzhi realized it belatedly and sat up.
An Hongdou took out a coin, handed it to him and said, "Don't think about whether to have a second child or not. Let's flip a coin to make a decision. Each child will have one chance. If it lands on heads, we won't change it. If it lands on tails, we will change it."
This was the method An Hongdou's parents used to make decisions when she was a child. Whenever they disagreed, they would toss a coin to make a decision. If it was heads, her father would listen, and if it was tails, her mother would listen. Anyway, she was just a tool, the one used to toss the coin.
Now when I think of it occasionally, I still miss those days.
Unfortunately, there is no going back.
Shen Xiangzhi hadn't expected that An Hongdou would use such a childish behavior to decide this matter, which gave him the feeling of a child playing house.
However, it seems that it is not impossible.
After getting interested, Shen Xiangzhi took the coin in his hand.
