Gu Changqing slapped his forehead and said, "I almost forgot, I told you, some people have already started to redress their wrongdoings."
"Rehabilitation?" Bai Ruozhen was surprised.
Gu Changqing explained seriously, "Of those who were previously labeled as the "Five Black Categories," several have already been rehabilitated. I think this is a sign that if one can be rehabilitated, then two can be rehabilitated as well. Who knows, maybe your maternal grandfather will be rehabilitated too. When he returns to his rightful position, won't we be able to see him then?"
Bai Ruozhen couldn't believe it, "Will there really be such a day?"
When she came here, she knew that this country was mired in war more than 20 years ago. Just after stabilizing for more than ten years, the revolution broke out again. Looking back from the original owner's memory, it seemed that the revolution had already begun. She really couldn't imagine that the day she and Gu Changqing were looking forward to would actually come.
Gu Changqing said, "There will definitely be such a day."
Bai Ruozhen smiled and said, "May that day come soon."
Bai Ruozhen was pregnant, so she naturally had to go home to announce the good news. On the weekend, Gu Changqing took Bai Ruozhen home. Fearing the bumpy road, Gu Changqing pushed Bai Ruozhen back home on his bicycle, and did not stop her no matter how hard Bai Ruozhen tried to persuade him.
When Qiu Lanying got home and heard that she was pregnant, she immediately became happy, "That's great! Your third sister-in-law is about to give birth and you are pregnant again. Our family is very popular this year."
Bai Ruozhen touched her belly, feeling expectant, and even wondering if there might be two babies in her belly.
"You and your brother are twins, a boy and a girl. Your sister and brother are also twins. Do you think you are pregnant with twins, a boy and a girl, too?" Qiu Lanying looked at her with a smile. "We actually had twins in our family before."
Bai Ruozhen smiled and said, "I don't know, as long as one or both are safe and sound, it's fine."
"Yes, that's right." Qiu Lanying took out some peanuts from the cupboard and said, "Eat some when you have nothing to do."
As the two were talking, Gu Changmei came back with her child. The child was already over one year old and could speak very fluently. Perhaps because she was pregnant, Bai Ruozhen was particularly fond of children. Gu Changmei deliberately teased the child, "Xiaobao, do you think your aunt is carrying a brother or a sister?"
Xiaobao opened his eyes and asked curiously, "Brother."
"Oh, Xiaobao is so good." Gu Changlan was immediately overjoyed, "Mom, listen, it's a boy."
Qiu Lanying frowned and said, "Boys and girls are both good."
Gu Changlan said, "A girl is good, but a boy is even better. It would be great if my third sister-in-law could also give birth to a boy."
Bai Ruozhen touched Xiaobao's hair without saying anything. In her opinion, no matter whether it was a boy or a girl, they were all her sweethearts.
At this time, Xiaobao said again, "Sister."
Qiu Lanying hugged Xiaobao and said, "Okay, no more words, my sister and brother are both fine."
Then Xiaobao just kept repeating: "Brother, sister, brother, sister."
Gu Changmei said helplessly, "This child, but this is the first time I've been right. Fifth brother's wife is definitely pregnant with a boy."
"Who said that? I think it's a girl." Gu Changqing came in from outside, reached out and pinched Xiaobao's face and said, "I think it's a sweet-smelling girl. Why would I want a son? It's terrible."
Gu Changmei frowned, "Look at what you said. Of course it's better for your first child to be a boy."
Qiu Lanying frowned and scolded, "Enough, stop talking nonsense. It's up to you to decide whether to have a boy or a girl?" She couldn't understand why her daughter, who used to be very sensible, became like this after giving birth to a child.
"Isn't it all for the good of our family?" Gu Changmei felt a little aggrieved and looked at Bai Ruozhen. "Fifth brother's wife, what do you think? Is it better to have a boy?"
Bai Ruozhen exclaimed, looking at Gu Changqing, "I'll listen to Brother Changqing."
"Having children isn't a man's job, why are you listening to him?" Gu Changmei insisted, "A woman can only support her parents in their old age by giving birth to sons."
"But... I can't have children without a man," Bai Ruozhen frowned. "Besides, my husband is rich, so I don't need a son to support me in my old age."
Gu Changmei: “…”
Qiu Lanying stuffed the child into Gu Changmei's arms and said, "I heard your mother-in-law calling you outside. You should go back quickly."
Gu Changmei took the child and asked, "Mom, do you think I'm talking too much?"
"You know you're talking too much, don't you?" Qiu Lanying frowned and said, "Okay, go back first."
Gu Changmei glanced at her mother, then at her brother and sister-in-law who both looked unhappy, and left angrily with Xiaobao in her arms.
"Zhenzhen, don't listen to your eldest sister's nonsense. Ever since she gave birth to a son, she's felt superior to everyone else and her mind has become muddled. Don't argue with her," Qiu Lanying consoled her. "It doesn't matter whether your first child is a boy or a girl. Mom likes both."
Bai Ruozhen smiled and said, "Thank you, Mom."
"Why thank me? Having a son or a daughter is determined by fate. You can't force it. Both boys and girls are the apple of their mother's eye." Qiu Lanying stood up and said, "Mom will make you some food."
After Qiu Lanying left, Bai Ruozhen's face suddenly turned red. When she was not pregnant, she asked all the questions, and when she was pregnant, she urged her to give birth to a son. It was not her who had the final say on whether to give birth to a son or not.
"Are you angry?" Gu Changqing embraced her, "I'm not angry, sweetheart, I like all the children you give birth to."
Bai Ruozhen snorted, "If you dare not like it, I will take the children and run away from home if you don't like it."
Gu Changqing chuckled, "How dare you run away from home? I'll tie you and your mother to my belt and kiss you whenever I think of you."
Bai Ruozhen: “…”
