Chapter 225 Her child does not need to bear anyone's expectations
Su Heng didn't notice their little movements here.
She looked at Dou Ning with sympathy. Dou Ning was innocent and lively and was very popular at home.
Because of this, she is relatively simple-minded and instinctively stays away from people who are too cunning.
Seeing Dou Ning defeated, Su Heng whispered to Lu Mingchuan, "I think my brother might really become an older bachelor. If there's a way to make money in the future, you should take care of him. Otherwise, he'll be old and broke, and he won't be able to find a wife."
Unexpectedly, Lu Mingchuan looked at Su Heng expressionlessly and asked, "Are you old?"
Su Heng realized belatedly that someone was a few months older than her elder brother.
I didn’t expect that married men would care so much about the topic of age.
In fact, their age would be considered young in later generations, but people generally got married early at that time, and most people got married at the age of 24.
For an unmarried young person, it is indeed old.
Su Heng quickly coaxed him, "You're different. Your handsomeness hasn't been eroded by time at all. You're no different from when you were eighteen. Even when you're eighty, you'll still be a handsome old man."
"Oh."
Lu Mingchuan didn't believe it. He secretly touched his face and found that his skin was a little rough after running outside for a long time.
Unlike Su Heng, her skin is fair and smooth, looks as if it could be blown away, and she has a pleasant fragrance.
Thinking about how much someone cared about looks, he decided to go back and apply the facial cream that Su Heng used morning and night.
Men need to take good care of their faces too!
Su Heng didn't care about his little thoughts and was talking to Dou Ning.
Dou Ning: "My cousin hasn't been home for a long time. Let's go out together in a few days to welcome her back."
Su Heng glanced at the aloof beauty and found her pleasing to the eye. She said, "Okay, where are we going?"
Dou Ning was worried: "I haven't decided yet. I'm tired of all the places I've been to before. There's nothing new here."
She turned and looked at Ruan Qing: "Sister, is there any place you want to go?"
Ruan Qing sat there, drinking a sip of scented tea gracefully, and said, "Let's go somewhere quiet."
Dou Ning and his friends usually go to those few places to play. There are not many entertainment options nowadays, so once you go out on the streets, there will always be people around.
It's really difficult to be quiet.
After Dou Ning ruled out all the places he had visited in the past, he suddenly thought of something and asked Meng Xiao, "How is the construction of your new garden going?"
Meng Xiao understood what she meant. "We can go, but the flowers and trees haven't been planted yet. The garden is bare, and the lake has just been dug out. It doesn't look very nice."
After seeing Su Heng's garden, he also wanted to build a lake and a flower garden. Unfortunately, there was no lake in the garden he bought, so he had to find someone to dig one now.
Young Master Meng found it a little hard to accept entertaining guests with a half-finished garden.
As he spoke, he looked at Su Heng, who smiled and said, "Then you can come to my house. The weather is cool now, so let's go to the lake for a barbecue."
Dou Ning cheered immediately. In fact, the first person she thought of was Su Heng's family, but after all, they were not like Meng Xiao and the others who grew up together. She felt a little embarrassed to bring her cousin there and trouble others.
"Sister Su Heng, tell us what you need to prepare for the barbecue, and we'll bring the ingredients directly over when the time comes."
They didn't know how to barbecue and thought it was similar to roast duck.
Ruan Qing also became interested. He looked at Su Heng curiously and asked, "Do you want to set up a grill outside?"
As soon as Su Heng heard this, she knew they were mistaken, because Xinjiang lamb skewers had not yet entered the mainland.
"It's not grilled in a grill, it's grilled directly over the charcoal fire. The vegetables are skewered and grilled. It can be used for meat or vegetables. I'll draw a diagram of the grill later and you'll understand."
Everyone's curiosity was aroused.
Ruan Qing asked, "Is it like making tea around a stove, with charcoal in the stove and grilling it on a wire mesh?"
Su Heng thought about it and nodded: "It's about the same, but you need a big stove to barbecue."
Dou Ning was moved by what she said and begged Su Heng to draw the stove right away so that she could find someone to do it earlier.
So Su Heng went to get paper and pen and drew the simple barbecue grill that was commonly used in picnics in later generations.
This thing is not complicated. It is just a large rectangular iron shell, but the top layer is replaced with wire mesh.
There are several racks like table legs underneath, so people can stand behind the stove to roast.
Su Heng drew a three-dimensional picture, and because she was afraid that people might not understand it, she also drew three views.
No one had ever seen this kind of painting before and was amazed.
"We also need to prepare some wooden skewers to skewer the dishes. As for the dishes, it all depends on what you like to eat."
Dou Ning patted his chest and said, "I understand, Sister Su Heng, don't worry, I will definitely bring everything with me when the time comes."
Wei Yunsheng said, "Don't forget to get some mutton. You said you would treat us to a mutton hotpot last time, but we haven't done it yet."
Dou Ning retorted: "Is it me who didn't invite you? It was so hot a while ago, if you want the pot, go by yourself."
Tao Zhili, who was standing by, tried to stop the fight: "Alright, stop it now. You're just quarreling wherever you go."
Su Heng looked at the noisy group of people with amusement.
Song Wan and Cheng Yi arrived around noon, and Old Man Song also came with them. They went to the hospital for a check-up today and arrived a little late.
Su Heng hurried forward and helped Song Wan sit down, talking about the dinner party in a few days.
"It's a good opportunity for us to get together before school starts. By the way, you should ask for leave before school starts."
Song Wan smiled and nodded: "I estimate it will take two months, and I won't be able to give birth in time for the fall."
Su Heng also laughed: "Then we have to give birth to a child."
Song Wan: "That's a good nickname."
Cheng Yi, who was standing by, hadn't spoken yet, but his child's nickname had already been chosen.
Everyone talked for a while, and then it was time for the ceremony. Su Heng hurried over with Lu Mingchuan to get down to business.
Grandparents and parents were already standing there waiting for them.
Under the gaze of everyone, Qiuqiu, who was sitting at the table, first looked at the book, hesitated for a moment, and then turned to the pen beside her.
But when he reached out to grab it, he caught the little abacus instead.
Everyone laughed in good faith and said that this child was a good candidate for managing finances.
Su Heng looked at her lovely child, smiled gently, and made a wish silently in her heart.
I only hope that my son will be simple and naive, and live without any disaster or illness, and be himself.
She didn't have any big expectations for Qiuqiu, she just hoped that he would be healthy and live a happy life.
Many parents expect their children to reach heights that they themselves cannot reach.
She thinks this mentality is as unrealistic as buying lottery tickets.
Her child does not need to bear anyone's expectations, he has the love and support of his parents.
