Chapter 120 The Butterfly Effect
The train started and the crying of the two children was deafening.
“Grandma woo woo woo—”
Shen Zhiyou leaned towards Chen Cuijuan and almost couldn't hold the child.
It was the first time that Chen Cuijuan knew what it felt like to be driven away by a child, and she stuck her head out of the car window.
Shen Zhiyou was startled, "Mom, please retract your head quickly, it's dangerous."
"Don't cry, Tuan Tuan Yuan Yuan. Grandma will come to see you when she's not busy."
"Wow, wow, grandma—"
The children wouldn't listen.
Shen Zhiyou couldn't hold her any longer, so she asked Shen Guowang and Gu Ye to hold one each. "Don't cry, darling. Grandma has something to do when she goes back home. She will come to see you later. We can also go back for the New Year next year."
Chen Cuijuan's eyes also turned red, "Shen Guowang, hold Tuantuan tighter, what if he falls?"
"I know."
The train slowly accelerated, and finally, only Chen Cuijuan's waving hand could be seen.
The two children were crying breathlessly.
They didn't know why grandma suddenly disappeared.
I thought grandma would really come back after a while just like my mom said.
Children have no concept of time.
I thought that after a good night’s sleep, grandma would come back.
When they got home, the two children fell asleep from crying themselves tired.
Shen Zhiyou also felt bad.
My mother has been here for more than a year, and she almost forgot that she was a daughter who married far away.
He sniffed and joked with Gu Ye, "These two kids don't usually cry, but when they start crying, they're really scary. They scared me to death today. I almost couldn't hold them because they were too strong."
Tuantuan and Yuanyuan started eating complementary food before they were weaned.
They were given all kinds of rice porridge, meat puree, and fruit puree to eat.
Eggs are even better.
I would eat an egg the next day.
After weaning, although he no longer has several meals of milk powder a day like before, he still has to drink a bottle every day.
This one-year-old child is stronger than a two-year-old child.
He can walk a long way by himself without the help of adults.
Sometimes when I was giving them a bath, if they were naughty, Shen Zhiyou couldn't control them.
So now the task of bathing the two children basically falls entirely on Gu Ye.
"Well, hold them less in the future. They can walk and still need adults to hold them."
Shen Zhiyou rolled her eyes at him unhappily, "Is this my main point?"
"All the same."
Gu Ye reached out and held her wrist, rubbing it.
Although Shen Zhiyou didn't hold the child very often and didn't suffer from tendonitis, the child is older now and her wrists would get tired after holding him for a while.
Gu Ye rubbed her for a while, and she immediately felt much more comfortable.
After Tuantuan and Yuanyuan woke up, they started looking for their grandma.
When they found out that their grandmother was still not there, the brothers’ mouths pursed and they wanted to cry again.
In the next few days, the two little ones finally accepted that their grandma would not be back for a while.
Sometimes when I wake up I will subconsciously call out "Grandma".
Shen Zhiyou felt very sad and numb.
After writing the letter back, Chen Cuijuan felt very upset when she saw it.
Happy and sad.
I am happy that the children still care about me.
What’s sad is that these two children feel so wronged.
"Alas, I should have waited until they were older before coming back."
Shen Dahe took a puff of cigarette and said, "You're already back, why are you still saying this? If you miss them, wait until the autumn harvest is over, then go."
Chen Cuijuan thought so too.
When Wang Xiulan heard the conversation between her parents-in-law, anticipation grew in her eyes.
She also wants to take a train ride!
My mother-in-law told me that Gu Ye also bought her a sleeper ticket for the return trip, so she could get there in just one sleep.
Chen Cuijuan's experience of taking the sleeper train really caused a sensation in the village.
Everyone counted and found that the Shen family had caused several sensations in the past two years.
Once, Shen Zhiyou, who was originally going to marry an educated youth, suddenly got together with Gu Ye and even went to join the army.
The second time, the couple had twin sons. When they came back, they divided the house into two parts and demolished and rebuilt the new house.
The third time, Shen Guowang went to Shen Zhiyou's place for some unknown reason and never came back.
You won’t know until you ask.
Wow, it turns out that he had good physical conditions and was noticed by the recruiting company and was directly enlisted in the army.
There is another one, Chen Cuijuan.
This time when Chen Cuijuan came back, she was so glorious.
He was wearing a Dacron shirt and had a lot of bags.
I also brought a piece of clothing and a pair of rubber-soled shoes for Shen Dahe.
People say that rubber-soled shoes are great and the soles will never break no matter how you wear them.
When asked, the wrinkles on Chen Cuijuan's face almost burst open, "Well, Youyou and Xiao Gu insisted on buying it for me, and I couldn't stop them. They are so filial!"
Others: “….” You are the only one who is taking advantage of the situation.
Chen Cuijuan spoke happily, and everyone who listened suddenly felt that it would be a good idea to have a daughter.
Compared to a son, the rewards of raising a daughter do seem to be greater.
Among the people of the same age as Chen Cuijuan in the village, there is really no one who can be as elegant as Chen Cuijuan.
Many people regretted after returning home, "Why didn't we have another daughter?"
When the daughter-in-law heard this, she sneered, "Aunt Chen's daughter treats her well because Aunt Chen has loved her since she was a child. When her daughter gave birth, she went to take care of her more than a month in advance, and now she is back after the child is weaned."
"You guys are not even happy to have your own son raise your own grandson, so if you give birth to a daughter, I'll be so angry with you."
That person: "........I'm just wondering why you have such a bad temper!"
The daughter-in-law rolled her eyes and said, "I advise you to be more careful with yourself. If you give birth to a daughter, according to your selfish behavior, the result you end up with will not be much better than that of Gu Ye's parents."
Gu Ye's parents have now become the laughing stock of the village.
Gu Ye didn't cherish his good son and daughter-in-law, and now he would rather sell the house than divide the family.
The year isn’t over yet!
I said all this for my eldest son and daughter-in-law.
What's the result now?
Instead, Gu Hu and his wife blamed Gu's mother for the reason that they could not take advantage of Gu Ye.
They said they now have three children and their original house can no longer accommodate them.
The main house where Gu's father and mother originally lived was occupied, and the old couple were forced to live in a small house.
Although now Gu's father and mother say to others that their eldest son is filial and has given them three grandchildren.
I'm afraid only they themselves know the pain in their hearts.
But this also inexplicably served as a wake-up call to everyone else in the village.
That is, no matter how obedient a child is, he is not a fool.
Those families who were originally as biased as Gu's father and his friends began to pay attention to their behavior, and at least on the surface, they began to try to be fair.
There are also families who have given birth to daughters.
I also started to allocate more family resources to my daughter.
Originally, the eggs were for my son to eat.
Now I also share a little bit of eggs with my daughter.
I originally thought that girls would get married sooner or later, so it didn't matter as long as they could give birth to children or whether they could read or not.
Now I think my daughter should at least go to primary school, and maybe she can even find a son-in-law from the city.
If you raise a daughter like Shen Zhiyou, it would be a very profitable investment!
