On the day my second cousin's wife's baby turned one month old, my second cousin took it very seriously and invited family members over to hold a simple celebration for her.
Su He was quite surprised to see her mother. She didn't expect that in addition to her uncle's family, her father and she would also come.
In addition, many relatives from her second sister-in-law's family also came, clearly to give her face.
Because there were so many people, everyone skipped lunch at home and went directly to the state-run restaurant.
After dinner, the family went back and chatted for a while.
Then Su's mother revealed the purpose of her visit: to urge Su Lin to get married.
Upon hearing this, Su Lin, who had come during the holiday, immediately ran away, claiming that he had to work overtime at the factory.
Su's mother was so angry that she wanted to follow him, grab his ear, and give him a few words of advice.
However, Grandma Su stopped her, saying, "Alright, stop making a fuss. Linzi is still young, there's no rush. Children and grandchildren have their own blessings. He's already working, he knows what he's doing, he can get married whenever he wants, you don't need to worry about it."
Su's mother was somewhat unwilling to accept this, but she didn't say anything because of the old lady Su.
Seeing that the atmosphere was a bit awkward, Su He took the initiative to ask the child's name.
Upon hearing this, the second cousin's wife laughed, "Don't even mention it. Your eldest brother thought about it for almost a month and still couldn't come up with a satisfactory name. In the end, I couldn't stand it anymore and took back his right to name the child. I asked my maternal grandfather to name it, and he named it Su Wan, Wan with the character 'Wang' in it. I thought it sounded nice, so I decided on it."
Su Wan and Su He thought it sounded good, and the others also praised their in-laws for being cultured.
Only the second cousin was somewhat unwilling, sob, his little darling, her father couldn't even give her a name.
...
In May, as the weather gradually warmed up, the second sister, Lin Jinghong, and the eldest sister-in-law, Shu Qing, gave birth one after the other.
My second sister gave birth to a boy, completing the Chinese character for "good" (好), which made her husband's family very happy.
Er Shuqing gave birth to another daughter and seemed very happy, since Lin's parents seemed to really like girls.
According to Lin's mother, her eldest brother felt the same way; he was afraid that if he had a son, the son would have the same bad temper as him, so he preferred girls.
The Shu family, fearing the Lin family might mind, went to their home to sound them out. They were relieved after seeing how Mr. and Mrs. Lin treated Xiao Xi.
However, Lin's mother and the others did not go to see Shu Qing give birth this time. Firstly, she couldn't leave, and secondly, her own daughter was about to give birth, and she was not too at ease.
In addition, this is Shu Qing's second pregnancy, so she has experience and is not so worried.
But her family still sent her a lot of things before and after she gave birth, some for her and some for the baby.
Lin's mother would call her from time to time to check on her, and she was relieved to hear that she was doing well.
However, something else happened during this time.
Something happened to Lin Jingyan's uncle's family.
Su He was somewhat surprised when she heard the news, because they really had very little contact with the other side. In all the years she had been married into the family, she had barely even met his grandparents a few times.
The incident involving Uncle Lin did not happen in Beijing. His family worked in another province. The third son of his family had a girlfriend, and they were about to get married when they found out that the girl was actually the descendant of a capitalist.
I just changed my identity to deceive them.
When the uncle found out, he was furious and immediately wanted the two to break up.
Unexpectedly, Lin Jingyan's cousin turned out to be a womanizer and secretly got married to the girl beforehand. This was terrible. Even though they tried their best to clear their names, his uncle's family was still implicated.
Not only was the whole family investigated, but the cousin who had just gotten married was also sent down to a farm with his new wife.
Now the two can finally be together, but they've ruined things for everyone else.
