Unfortunately, half a month later, Shuying gave birth to a fat boy weighing seven kilograms, which made her disappointed, jealous and very unbalanced.
Deputy Captain Fang was also very disappointed, but he was not like Xia Lina who could not stand others doing bad things. His little thoughts were only on comparison.
The Fang couple had no idea what Shuying was thinking. She had just returned home from the infirmary. As soon as she got home, all the sisters-in-law in the military region knew that she had given birth to a chubby, white boy.
Mrs. Gao even came over to see her. Shuying was lying on the bed, her face a little pale, but she still looked good.
"Is Miss Yang okay?"
"I'm fine, sister-in-law."
Mrs. Gao breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Shuying looked in good spirits. Then she saw Chen Tuan with a stiff face and at a loss as to how to hold the child. However, no matter how helpless he was, he remained calm and composed.
The plump white child was in Chen Xi's arms. Mrs. Gao couldn't help but take a few more glances at him, "Look at Chen Tuan, is he so happy that he has gone stupid?"
After hearing what Mrs. Gao said, Shuying wanted to laugh. She didn't know that Gao Xing was dumbfounded. She only heard her mother say that her husband was in the infirmary and just saw that the child was a boy. He was stunned for a long time and even said, "Why is it a boy?" Then he glanced at it and walked towards her without holding it.
Her mother thought her husband was talking nonsense! Others are expecting a boy as their first child!
Well, she remembered that her man only wanted a daughter-in-law. The daughter-in-law she had been waiting for for nine months has now become a son. This is indeed a big blow.
The shadow of the tree is natural. She likes her sons and daughters and treats them equally.
While talking to Shuying, Mrs. Gao looked at the child and corrected Chen Xi's way of holding the child. When she saw the child's appearance, Mrs. Gao was surprised.
"Oh my, this child is so handsome!"
You know, newborn babies are all a little wrinkled, like her first baby.
The child born to Yang Meizi is not as pretty as she thought.
However, Yang Meizi and Chen Tuan look alike, so it would be unacceptable if their children didn't look outstanding.
Shuying couldn't tell what the child looked like now, but her husband's appearance was here, so the child would look the same in the future.
Chen Xi felt that the child looked more like his daughter-in-law, and his heart couldn't help but soften. The more the child looked like his daughter-in-law, the more he loved her.
No one knew what Chen Xi was thinking. Shuying chatted with Mrs. Gao. Mother Yang brought her some freshly stewed pig's trotter soup, which was good for producing milk. Shuying sat up and drank it.
Shuying taught Yang's mother how to cook the pig's trotter soup, which tasted particularly fresh and fragrant, prompting Gao's wife to ask how it was cooked.
Every household would stew pig's trotters several times throughout the year. She had also eaten stewed pig's trotters, but how could it be as delicious as this?
This stewed pig's trotter soup might have been taught by Sister Yang. Sister Gao hurriedly asked for advice, and Mother Yang hurriedly told Sister Gao how to stew the pig's trotter soup to make it more fragrant.
Shuying helped to add: "Sister-in-law, stewing pig's trotters is mainly to remove the fishy smell. I used less cooking wine here, so you can add more wine to make it more fragrant."
"Okay, okay, I'll try it then!"
Mrs. Gao sat here for a while and then left. After she left, Chen Xi carefully placed the child next to her, took the bowl and prepared to feed the child.
Yang Mule left space for the young couple.
Shuying was half lying on the bed, drinking pig's trotter soup mouthful after mouthful. She drank it, and let her man drink it too.
"Does it still hurt?" The man touched her cheek and thought of his wife's screams when she gave birth in the infirmary just now. He was still feeling frightened and scared. If this was a young lady, he would have wanted to get a vasectomy to prevent his wife from having any more children.
The peanut pig's trotter soup tasted good and she had a good appetite, so she didn't think too much. She actually wanted to ask him whether he liked children.
"The child is fat, so what? Are you disappointed?" Shuying asked while looking down at the child, so soft-hearted that he occasionally raised his eyes to give him a warning glare, as if to say you don't like it, just try it, which made Chen Xi's heart soften. He told the truth: "I like the child more if he looks like you!"
Shuying pursed her lips and smiled. She was in a good mood. She drank one more bowl of pig's trotter soup and shared the rest with her family.
At the Gao family, Chen Yi was so excited to have a younger brother that he almost jumped up and started talking to people. He started by saying, "My younger brother..."
You can imagine how happy the child is.
Look, just now this child looked at the child born by Shuying for a long time before running to Gao’s house and chattering with the Gao brothers and Fang Xiaobao.
The topic always revolves around the child born to Shuying.
"My brother is too young to be held now."
"I don't know when my brother will start talking..."
"When my brother grows up, I will take him climbing trees."
Chen Yi, a cool little guy, rarely chatters, and Xiaohu excitedly adds, "Grandma said that it takes a long time for your little brother to talk."
Gao Yuan was very supportive: "He is also my brother, I will also take him out to play."
Gao Xiang and Gao Yuan were older and more sensible. They knew how long it would take for a child to grow up and talk. When Chen Yi and Xiao Hu found out that it would take that long for their brother to grow up and talk, their faces were tangled. Chen Yi was so anxious that he scratched his face and said, "Okay, I'll wait until my brother can talk first!"
The children were chattering away, and soon, Mother Yang called Chen Yi and Xiao Hu to drink some pig's trotter soup.
Chen Yi and Xiaohu each filled a bowl and ran to Gao's house to drink.
Needless to say, this pig's trotter soup is particularly delicious and refreshing. Gao Yuan is a foodie and ran to Chen Yi early. Chen Yi fed him a spoonful of soup and gave him a piece of pig's trotter to chew. Gao Yuan ate it up voraciously.
Xiaohu was reluctant to give Gao Yuan the meat and only let him drink a spoonful of soup. Chen Yi was generous and not only let Gao Yuan taste it, but also let Gao Zhigao taste two pieces of pig's trotters.
Gao Zhi was the oldest and felt a little embarrassed, but he, who seldom ate meat, couldn't resist and nibbled on a piece of pig's trotter, which was particularly delicious.
He had actually eaten stewed pig's trotters before, but how could the pig's trotter soup his mother made be as delicious as the one made by Aunt Yang?
Gao Zhi was very disappointed with his mother's mediocre cooking skills. He wished she could be as good as Aunt Yang.
Mrs. Gao, who had not yet decided when to buy pig's trotters when she returned home from the Chen family courtyard, saw Chen Yi generously giving pig's trotters to her children. Seeing that the children were very greedy, she immediately prepared to buy some pig's trotters the next day or the day after tomorrow and stew them at home as Miss Yang said. She just smelled the pig's trotter soup, which was really fragrant and nutritious. She would let her family taste it then, and it would definitely taste good.
Yang's mother still cooked dinner. Chen Xi first brought the dishes into the house and fed them to his wife, and then ate himself.
Chen Yi and Xiao Hu couldn't help but look at their younger brother, so they brought the meal into the house and looked after the child.
At this moment the child was too young and was either crying or sleeping. Xiaohu felt bored after watching him for a while and went back to the main room. On the contrary, Chen Yi was very patient and sat aside with the food to watch the child. After dinner, he did not run around, but lay beside the shadow of the tree to watch the child.
"Auntie, how long will it take for my brother to learn to speak?"
Shuying was impressed by the child's patience tonight. She rubbed the boy's head with a soft face. She didn't fool the child and told Chen Yi how long it would take for her younger brother to learn to speak.
"It's been a long time!" Chen Yi's face was knotted, and he paused for a moment before continuing, "I will wait for my brother to grow up and speak!"
The atmosphere in the Chen family courtyard was harmonious, but in the Fang family, Xia Lina was inexplicably angry all day and was upset because of what Fang's mother said. The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law had a rare quarrel.
It turned out that Fang's mother was just exaggerating that Yang Shuying gave birth to a son as her first child. Xia Lina was already angry that Shuying gave birth to a son, so why didn't she give birth to a money-loser?
"The shape of her pregnant belly is similar to mine. She should give birth to a money-losing baby."
Fang's mother knew that her daughter-in-law was narrow-minded, but she didn't expect her to be so narrow-minded. She was also somewhat patriarchal, but it was not to this extent. However, this daughter-in-law was nice to her own daughter. Fang's mother also knew that her daughter-in-law liked to pick on the young daughter-in-law next door, so she couldn't help but say a few words.
But who knew that just these few words would make Xia Lina explode.
When Deputy Commander Fang came back and heard her mother and Xia Lina arguing, she felt such a headache that she didn't even eat and ran out to sit at Gao's house.
When Mrs. Gao came to persuade them, she heard Xia Lina yelling:
"Mom, are you jealous of the Chen family next door who has a boy, and are you disgusted by me for not having a son and for losing money if I do?"
"What's the matter? Do you want Yang Shuying to be your daughter-in-law?"
Mother Yang, who came to Fang's house to persuade them to stop fighting, said: "..." Why is the daughter-in-law next door like this? Why is she bringing up her daughter?
Every word made Fang's mother very angry, but needless to say, her daughter-in-law really hit the nail on the head. Look at how sensible and nice the daughter-in-law next door is. The most important thing is to have a good heart. What about her own daughter-in-law?
If she argues with this daughter-in-law, her life will be cut in half.
Xia Lina's voice was too loud and the Fang family's door was wide open. Chen Xi and Gao Tuan who came out also heard it. Fang Boran immediately looked embarrassed.
Gao Tuan thought Fang Boran and his mother were causing trouble by favoring boys over girls, so he said directly: "Deputy Tuan Fang, is your idea acceptable? What's wrong with a concubine? I only have a boy, and I dream of having a concubine!"
After a slight pause, Gao Tuan asked Chen Tuan: "Chen Tuan, don't you agree? The girl is much more thoughtful and sensible than the boy."
Gao Tuan's words made Chen Xi, who only wanted a concubine, even more itchy, and he wished that the boy in his family was the concubine.
After persuading her husband, Gao Dasao thought to herself how happy her husband must have been when she gave birth to her first son.
Therefore, it is better for a woman to have a son as her first child. It is no wonder that Xia Lina feels bad, but why should she bother Yang Meizi?
Mrs. Gao was also glad that Yang's first child was also a boy. Otherwise, look at Chen Tuan's cold and scary look. He just stood there without saying a word, but his cold aura was too scary. He didn't even have to show his expression to others, and others were all scared.
Look, Deputy Commander Fang’s face has turned pale now.
In fact, Fang Boran was really afraid of Chen Tuan's cold face, so he quickly explained: "Chen Tuan, Gao Tuan, sister-in-law, my mother and I really don't favor boys over girls." He added: "Today, it must be my wife who is not sensible."
"Everything has been explained clearly. It's Sister Xia who is upset. You should try to comfort her later and don't put pressure on her!" Mrs. Gao thought to herself that Xia Lina was fine before, but she suddenly had an outburst today. It was probably because she was upset and dissatisfied that Sister Yang gave birth to a boy.
Mrs. Gao didn't know what to say, and Gao Tuan was a rough-minded person who didn't think much about it. But Fang Boran thought of something. Chen Xi was a reconnaissance soldier and was particularly sensitive to people's emotions, so he naturally knew it well.
His face was expressionless and stern, and he just said coldly: "My daughter-in-law is very good! Don't mention my wife anymore in the future."
After saying that, he turned and left.
Fang Boran thought that what Chen Tuan said was too simple. Well, he could only say it so easily because he had a son. If Chen Tuan’s wife hadn’t given birth to a boy this time, who knows if Chen Tuan could say it so easily.
I don't know if it was because he was too annoying, but when Chen Xi was about to step into the Chen family's courtyard, Fang Boran suddenly asked boldly: "Does Chen Tuan like boys or girls more?"
