It was difficult for Aunt Mei to accept this, but according to the thinking of the older generation, she must have a son. However, people have many children these days, and the Lu family can afford to raise them, so it doesn't matter how many children they have. Therefore, she doesn't think it matters whether the first child is a boy or a girl.
Aunt Mei said, "You are right. It will be good to bloom first and then bear fruit."
"No." Hua Yingyue sighed, "In fact, our family doesn't have any obsession with having children. Jian An just said that he won't have any more children in the future, so he probably really doesn't want to have any more children."
Aunt Mei was surprised. "It was just a casual remark..."
Hua Yingyue shook her head and said firmly, "No, Jianan is a kid who never does things rashly. He will definitely do what he says."
Aunt Mei opened her mouth, and Hua Yingyue smiled and said, "Just relax. Our Lu family doesn't favor boys over girls. If the old man and the old lady knew it was a girl, they might be even happier."
The old couple had four children, but only one daughter. Lu Mingxuan had always been very important to the old couple since she was a child. However, Lu Mingxuan died early, which was a great blow to the old couple. Meng Qiulan was too sad to lose three of her four children, and her health deteriorated.
Now that they have a great-grandson, the old couple must be very happy.
But Hua Yingyue's open-mindedness was something Aunt Mei couldn't understand.
A granddaughter is good too, but a grandson is always necessary.
But this is someone else's family matter, and as an outsider she just needs to help, and she shouldn't interfere in other matters.
In the ward, Aunt Song also ordered Lu Jianan to fetch some hot water. After he left, Aunt Song comforted Song Nanting and said, "Your mother-in-law just said what she meant. She was more anxious than I was on the way here."
Song Nanting hummed, and actually had no idea about her mother-in-law's attitude.
In her previous life, she and Lu Jianan had no children, and Hua Yingyue didn't say anything, let alone now.
However, after Lu Jianan passed away in her previous life, Hua Yingyue persuaded her to adopt a little girl, which was not only considerate but also could provide a companion.
But at that time she was stubborn and refused. She would rather keep her home with Lu Jianan by herself. If it was a child with Lu Jianan, she would like it regardless of whether it was a boy or a girl. If not, it would be better not to have one.
Being alone is something you'll get used to once you get used to it.
Fortunately, God helped her and gave her another chance to be with Lu Jianan, and also let her have a child.
It was really painful, but after giving birth, Song Nanting felt okay.
She turned her head to look at the little baby lying on the crib, staring around, and her heart softened.
She looked at the worried Aunt Song and said, "Godmother, don't worry, I didn't think too much about it. My mother-in-law is not the kind of person who favors boys over girls."
In their previous life, Lu Jianning and his wife also had a girl, and Hua Yingyue doted on her.
Aunt Song smiled and said, "That's good."
She reached out and patted her like she was a child, "Go to sleep. Jian'an and I are here to watch over you."
Song Nanting nodded and finally closed her eyes and fell asleep.
When Song Nanting woke up again, it was already dark. Aunt Song and Hua Yingyue were both sitting by the bed. Seeing that she was awake, Hua Yingyue asked, "Are you hungry? Do you feel uncomfortable?"
Song Nanting felt it and found that the tearing feeling was still there, and her stomach also hurt a little. She told the truth, and Hua Yingyue said sympathetically, "It will take time to recover. The doctor said that the tearing was not serious. It will not hurt much after two days of disinfection. You still need to rub your stomach to get rid of the blood clots. It will be fine after a few days."
Song Nanting listened to her nagging, and Aunt Song said, "Give her food first."
Lu Jianan bought dinner, which was some thin rice porridge and a few buns.
As for chicken soup and the like, I can’t drink it now. It’s too greasy.
Song Nanting was very hungry. She finished her millet porridge and ate seven buns.
After they finished eating, he asked, "Didn't the child cry?"
She didn't hear anything at all.
Aunt Song laughed, "Why didn't she cry? She cried and pooped several times. Lu Jianan went to wash the diaper."
Song Nanting couldn't help laughing.
The poop of a newborn baby is particularly smelly, and it is different from that of an older baby. The poop is directly black and green in color, and it is sticky and difficult to clean.
Lu Jianan was washing diapers in the laundry room. He rubbed them for a long time and ruined several of them. An old lady nearby couldn't stand it anymore and said, "You guys have a lot of money to burn. Why don't you just use some old cloth as diapers? You even used such good cotton cloth. Now it's all gone to waste."
Lu Jianan didn't even look at the other person. The old lady was bored and kept nagging while washing. Then she boasted to other people that her daughter-in-law had given her a grandson.
Seeing that Lu Jianan remained silent, the old lady asked, "Hey, comrade, did your wife give birth to a boy or a girl?"
Lu Jianan said calmly, "Girl."
"Girls shouldn't use such good diapers." The old lady came over and said to Lu Jianan, "I have a boy at home."
Lu Jianan: "Congratulations."
The old lady looked at his clean diaper and said, "It's a waste for a girl to use such a good diaper. Why don't we change it? I have a son."
Lu Jianan was unhappy now, and frowned, "What does your family's birth of a son have to do with our family?"
After saying that, he stopped arguing, wrung out the diaper, and walked away with it.
"Hey, don't leave." The old lady was very dissatisfied with Lu Jianan's attitude and muttered, "What's so great about him? He just gave birth to a girl, a money-loser. How can it be better than a boy? Our family is happy to exchange it with him. It's good enough that he doesn't mind that it was used by a girl."
At this time, another old lady couldn't help but speak up, "Your grandson is a treasure to you, but maybe he is nothing in other people's eyes. Their own children are treasures."
Those who can give birth in the Military Region General Hospital, or are willing to give birth in the hospital, are all people with good backgrounds and family conditions.
As an old lady herself, she feels upset to meet such a person here.
The old lady couldn't help but glare at him, "You can't say that. How can a girl be the same as a boy?"
"Yes, yes, your family is a treasure." The old lady was too lazy to argue with her and left with the basin.
When passing by a ward, the old lady saw Lu Jianan and knocked on the door. When Lu Jianan came out, the old lady said, "Pay attention over here too. The old lady was still mumbling over there just now. I don't think she will give up."
It's not shameful to say that, not only are they reluctant to buy good cloth to make diapers for their children, but they also try to take advantage of others' cloth. I don't know what they are thinking.
