Chapter 102 Chapter 102 Encountering a Real Person Seller
Aunt Jiang quietly looked into the living room through the small window of the kitchen and saw her daughter-in-law feeding the child. She smiled unconsciously. It seemed that her daughter-in-law also liked the child.
Ever since her son got hurt, especially in that area, Aunt Jiang has been worried about the relationship between the young couple and afraid that they would separate.
After all, marriage freedom is important nowadays, and both men and women can get divorced.
The couple had only one child. Aunt Jiang, who had experienced a turbulent life for most of her life, was used to seeing children die young. She gave birth to four children in her own life, but only raised one son.
Therefore, she has always been worried that if something happens to this only child one day, the family will be broken up.
It is better to have one more child. This way the home will be more lively and my son's future life will be more secure.
Aunt Jiang feels that the child sent home today is a gift from God to their family. The child has a good personality and is not a troublemaker, so there is no need to worry about the other party's parents coming to visit them in the future.
Most importantly, it was a girl. Although Aunt Jiang said that she did not favor boys over girls, the older generation still wanted to leave the family property to their son.
If you adopt a boy, not only will you have to find a wife for him and take care of the child, but you may also have to divide the house and property in the end.
How is it possible to raise an outsider to share the property of your own grandson?
If it is a girl, you just need to raise her with good food and drink, find her a stable job, and finally find her a good husband. Girls are also considerate, so raising her does not require as much worry as boys.
The more Aunt Jiang thought about it, the more perfect it seemed to her. Now she was just worried that her daughter-in-law wouldn't agree and her son wouldn't be able to have children. If he wanted to have another child in this life, he would have to raise someone else's. But her daughter-in-law wasn't a good person, so she was afraid that she wouldn't want to raise someone else's child.
Why not let the child stay at home for a few days first, and wait until they develop feelings for each other before bringing it up with your daughter-in-law.
In the kitchen, Aunt Jiang was thinking, and in the living room, Wu Huixian was also lost in thought. Before they knew it, a bowl of malted milk had been finished.
Zheng Qingsheng took the bowl and added some boiling water, shook it and handed it back, "Don't waste it."
Wu Huixian said, "Is the maltose at home almost gone? Let's go to the department store and buy two more bottles tomorrow."
Zheng Qingsheng nodded: "Okay, Kang Kang has a big appetite recently. He comes home every day and keeps complaining about being hungry. He pesters his grandmother to make him some malted milk, and he drinks two big bowls at a time."
Wu Huixian smiled and said, "The child is growing and will get hungry quickly. You can buy some biscuits tomorrow and wait for the child to come back and eat them when he is hungry."
As she spoke, she looked down at the child in her arms. The child, who had just finished his meal, had bright eyes, and his dark eyeballs moved around, observing the new environment.
"This child seems to like our family very much." Wu Huixian reached out and gently touched the child's cheek.
Zheng Qingsheng smiled and nodded: "Yes, this child is destined to be with us, just like, he is our child."
Wu Huixian looked up at him, meeting her husband's eyes, and said, "What do you mean..."
"What do you mean?" Zheng Qingsheng asked.
Wu Huixian said: "I am already content with having only one child, Kang Kang. However, it would also be nice to have a daughter, so that I can have both a son and a daughter."
Zheng Qingsheng stroked his wife's shoulder and said bitterly: "Huixian, I'm sorry, because of me...you have never had other children, only Kang Kang..."
Wu Huixian held his hand and said seriously: "Having one child is enough. I really don't want to have children that much."
——What she said was true. She had a heavy hemorrhage when giving birth to Kang Kang and almost lost her life. Thinking about it now, she still feels scared. In fact, when she first knew that her husband could not have children, she was relieved.
"Besides, look, we now have another child, the daughter we always wanted."
Zheng Qingsheng looked down at the child and smiled, "Yes, we have another child."
Zheng Kangping, a first-grade elementary school student, has recently become obsessed with playing table tennis. Every day after school, he goes to his neighbor's classmate's house to play for half an hour before returning home.
The elementary school he attended was just a few steps away on this street. He went to and from school with the kids from the neighbors and didn't need to be picked up by his parents.
In this era, most children are left to their own devices. For children in elementary school, few parents will pick them up and drop them off. They just let them follow the older children.
"Grandma, I want some maltose. I'm hungry!"
As soon as Zheng Kangping entered the yard, he started shouting at the top of his voice and rushed into the house with a puff of smoke.
Seeing his mother in the living room, he stopped. His mother was the strictest person towards him in the family, so he was still a little wary of her.
Wu Huixian sat on the sofa and waved to her son with a smile: "Kang Kang, come and see your sister."
The father sitting next to her also smiled and said, "Sister is very cute, come and have a look."
Zheng Kangping looked at the child in his mother's arms, puzzled. How come he had a new sister after just one day of not seeing her?
…
On the train to Hai City, Xia Qinqin sat on the berth with her little head resting on her father's shoulder, watching him play cards with the man opposite her.
Xia Qinqin, who didn't know the rules of the game yet, felt bored after watching for a while and stretched her head to look for her shoes on the ground.
"Qinqin, where are you going?" Xia Junshan asked as he noticed his daughter's actions.
Xia Qinqin said: "Dad, I want to go find Mom."
"Mom is going to get some hot water. She'll be back soon."
Xia Qinqin tilted her head and said, "I want to get off and walk around. It's so boring sitting here."
Xia Junshan said: "Well, okay, I'll take you out for a walk and get some fresh air."
He apologized to the person opposite him and said, "Sorry, I'm going to take the kids out for a walk, so I won't fight for now."
The person on the other side smiled and expressed his understanding, "It's okay, we'll play again when you come back."
Xia Junshan smiled, put down the cards in his hand, bent down, picked up the shoes on the ground and put them on his daughter.
Xia Qinqin landed on the ground, jumped twice with joy, turned around and was about to walk towards the door of the private room, but Xia Junshan grabbed her coat collar.
"Dad, I want to walk by myself." Xia Qinqin turned her head and asked.
Xia Junshan smiled and said, "Okay, you walk in front and dad will follow behind you."
Xia Qinqin walked happily in front, and Xia Junshan followed behind holding her collar. The two of them walked on the corridor outside the berth. After the train started moving, there were not many people walking here. The father and daughter walked quite fast and passed several carriages in a short while.
When we walked into the hard seat compartment, it was obviously crowded. The aisle was either filled with people or piled with packages. It was still difficult for a small person like Xia Qinqin to pass through.
Xia Junshan picked up his daughter and moved flexibly through the aisle. After a while, he met Meng Yufei at the door of the dining car. She was holding a kettle filled with hot water. Seeing the two of them, she was surprised and said,
"Why are you here?"
Xia Qinqin happily stretched out her hand: "Mom, we are here to find you."
Xia Junshan said with a smile: "Qinqin is feeling stuffy in the carriage, I'll take her out to get some fresh air."
Meng Yufei took her daughter from Xia Junshan's arms and asked, "We are all out, where is the luggage?"
The thief she encountered on the train earlier this year made her extra vigilant on this trip.
Xia Junshan said: "Please ask the people on the other side to keep an eye on it for us."
Meng Yufei nodded. The person opposite her came up from the previous station. He was a retired soldier and got along well with Xia Junshan.
"Since we're here, let's eat before going back. The dining car isn't crowded and there aren't many people." Meng Yufei suggested. She originally planned to get her meal in a lunch box.
Xia Junshan nodded: "Okay, there's a dining table inside, we can sit down and eat slowly."
A family of three sat at the dining table, and through the window next to them they could see the scenery outside. Eating here was a unique experience.
However, the food on the train tasted ordinary. Xia Qinqin ate the light shredded potatoes and frowned, saying, "The food here is not as delicious as my mother's."
Meng Yufei said: "Then you should eat less. I will go back and get you some biscuits later."
Xia Qinqin said: "I still want to eat candy."
Meng Yufei nodded: "Okay, then you have to eat this half bowl of rice."
When Xia Qinqin heard that there was candy to eat, she lowered her head and ate her meal. Although it didn't taste very good, it was still edible. She finished the rice in the bowl in just a few bites and patted her belly, "Mom, I'm full."
Meng Yufei poured her some water and said, "Drink two more sips of hot water."
"oh."
After finishing her meal, Xia Qinqin sat aside waiting for her parents to finish eating. She swung her legs and looked to the right. A family of three in front of her on the right attracted her attention.
The middle-aged man took out a paper bag from his pocket, mysteriously took out a small white object from it, and put it into the bowl of the woman next to him.
The woman's bowl was filled with water. She shook it and fed the water to the child in her arms.
Xia Qinqin wondered curiously: Is that white thing candy?
Faintly, she seemed to hear a voice in her ear again: "Does this medicine work?"
"Don't worry, I went to the hospital to buy it. They said that if you take one pill, you will fall asleep immediately. You don't have to worry about him crying during the trip."
"That's good. Go home safely and we will have a son."
"Hehe, I was smart. I thought of going to the hospital to pick up the baby. There are so many babies there for us to choose from. This baby is the best looking. I heard that his father is a college student. Maybe this baby will also be a college student in the future."
"Then we will enjoy life."
…
The sound from behind was not very clear, so Xia Qinqin subconsciously slid down from the seat and wanted to move closer to listen.
"Qinqin, don't run around. Wait until mom and dad finish eating before we go together." Meng Yufei said, holding her daughter's hand.
Xia Qinqin leaned close to Meng Yufei's ear and whispered, "Mom, I just heard the uncle and aunt talking over there."
Meng Yufei put down the chopsticks in her hand and turned to look in the direction her daughter was pointing. There was a couple with a baby in swaddling clothes, and they were talking about something with their heads down.
At this distance, most people can't hear what they are saying.
That can only be my daughter's special ability.
Meng Yufei thought that every time her daughter's ability appeared, she seemed to hear something important. She whispered, "Qinqin, what did you hear?"
Xia Qinqin said: "They just gave the baby in their arms something white to eat, and the baby fell asleep after eating it. They also said that the baby was picked at the hospital."
At this point, she looked up and asked curiously, "Mom, did you pick me in the hospital? That uncle said his baby was the prettiest, so I am also the prettiest baby in the hospital?"
Meng Yufei and Xia Junshan listened to their daughter's words and looked at each other subconsciously. They could tell from each other's eyes that they had guessed the same thing.
This is a real dealer!
