Chen Shanhe: “…”
"I like girls too. No... I like all our children, regardless of gender. Before Yangyang... I liked him too."
Jiang Shiyue remembered that Yangyang was once considered a little fool, but Chen Shanhe still stayed with him and took good care of him, and she felt less unhappy.
"Not only me, my parents also don't favor boys over girls. In fact, besides my second sister, I have another sister who is nine years older than me. When I was a child, my parents treated my eldest sister better than me and my eldest brother. My second sister is also a princess in our family." Before Zhao Caifeng entered the door.
"Why haven't I heard you mention it?"
"She was adopted by my second uncle and rarely lived with us. Later, she inherited my second uncle's legacy and joined the army... and died."
Chen Dingguo and Wu Xiu'e felt guilty
"sorry."
Chen Shanhe shook his head. "I just want to tell you that it doesn't matter whether it's a boy or a girl, they're all our children. The country is now encouraging people to have fewer children, claiming that boys and girls are the same. It's just that the policy is colliding with traditional thinking, so it'll take some time for it to be implemented."
Jiang Shiyue then remembered that the family planning policy would be implemented in two or three years. She thought that she had to have another girl before the policy was implemented to complete the family planning.
She thought so in her heart, but she was not forgiving in her words, "It sounds nice! Isn't it still biased towards boys?! If Yangyang wasn't a boy, would you still say that?"
Chen Shanhe chuckled and explained good-naturedly, "Yangyang is a girl, and I care about him just as much. It's not just me, my family has the same attitude. Back then, my eldest sister-in-law... Zhao Caifeng gave birth to a girl as her first child. And she couldn't get pregnant for several years after that. My father hadn't had an accident at the time. There were rumors outside. When Zhao Caifeng was young, she wasn't as fierce as she is now. She often hid and cried secretly, fearing that my eldest brother would not want her.
Later, my mother counseled Zhao Caifeng for a long time, telling her that the Chen family didn't favor sons over daughters. In reality, we're all human, so what parent would favor sons over daughters? It's simply the laws of survival that force people to favor sons.
Take today, for example. A strong young man can earn ten centimeters a day, while a woman can only earn eight. Furthermore, women often can't work because they're busy taking care of children, doing laundry, and cooking. It's the men who do the work. If a family has more boys than girls, they might not even have enough to eat. Naturally, people prefer boys.
When boys grow up, they marry and add to the family, and when girls grow up, they marry and reduce the size of the family..."
For thousands of years, the preference for boys over girls has probably been due to these reasons.
Jiang Shiyue gradually calmed down after listening to this.
Forget it, this is a feudal idea left over from history. All she can do is take care of herself.
Anyway, the state will take action to correct these bad habits and feudal ideas.
Seeing that Jiang Shiyue no longer pouts, Chen Shanhe heaved a sigh of relief, "It's a happy day, don't be unhappy!"
Jiang Shiyue nodded and changed the subject, "Are we waiting for a toast?"
"Yeah." Chen Shanhe looked at his watch. "It's not even ten o'clock yet. You should take a rest. I'll come back and call you later."
Chen Shanhe pushed the door open and went out. After a while, Yangyang came in holding his book, followed by Li Chuntian.
Jiang Shiyue felt the bed was too hot, so she was sitting on the sofa making herself some ice porridge.
"Weddings in the countryside are so lively!" Li Chuntian sighed.
Jiang Shiyue smiled, "How about when you and Lu Zheng get married, hold your wedding in the village?"
"Who would marry him?!" Li Chuntian stamped her feet. "He feels so wronged about being engaged to me as a child. He avoids me all day long! The more he acts like this, the more I want to piss him off."
Jiang Shiyue was just about to say, "Sometimes what you see with your eyes is not necessarily true." Before she could finish her words, the door was pushed open and a little girl fell in.
The children who were originally crowded at the door scattered like birds and beasts.
"I...I was careless." The little girl knelt on the ground with tears in her eyes.
Jiang Shiyue was close by, so she helped the little girl up, brushed the dust off her clothes, and asked softly, "Did you fall?"
The little girl shook her head.
Li Chuntian gave the little girl a piece of wedding candy.
"Bride, you are so beautiful! I want to be as beautiful as you when I grow up!" The little girl saw that Jiang Shiyue and Li Chuntian were both very gentle, so she became bolder.
Li Chuntian and Jiang Shiyue looked at each other and smiled at the same time.
Jiang Shiyue touched the little girl's hair, hugged her gently and encouraged her, "Well, you will definitely be more beautiful than me when you grow up!"
After the little girl left, Li Chuntian sighed softly, "Children are indeed the most carefree, and they are also the easiest to deceive."
Although it is said that girls change a lot when they grow up, their facial features can only develop at most. Their flat nose will not become straight, nor will their thick lips become thin.
Jiang Shiyue didn't say anything, she was looking at Yangyang.
When he touched the little girl's head, Jiang Shiyue felt Yangyang's gaze and turned back subconsciously.
Yangyang withdrew his gaze and continued reading.
Li Chuntian followed Jiang Shiyue's gaze and asked in confusion, "What's wrong?"
"Yangyang is unhappy."
Li Chuntian: "..."
She walked up to Yangyang, circled around him twice, and asked Jiang Shiyue in confusion, "How did you tell that?"
This is Yangyang’s daily state. He can hold a book and stay still for an hour or two.
"You don't understand the telepathy between mother and child." Jiang Shiyue pretended to be mysterious.
Li Chuntian: "..."
Jiang Shiyue really couldn't explain why, she could only say it was her intuition.
And it's a bad intuition.
The current Yangyang made her feel a bit like when she first came here.
Jiang Shiyue thought for a moment and asked Li Chuntian to go find Lu Zheng.
After a while, Lu Zheng and Chen Shanhe came in, squatted in front of Yang Yang and chatted with him.
Yangyang didn't respond, and didn't even look at Lu Zheng.
Lu Zheng frowned and asked Jiang Shiyue, "Why is he showing signs of illness? What did you do?"
Jiang Shiyue: “…”
What else can she do if she gets married today?
Jiang Shiyue squatted in front of Yangyang, "Don't you want me to marry Dad?"
Yangyang didn't say anything.
Chen Shanhe asked Jiang Shiyue: "What happened after I left?"
"Nothing happened."
Li Chuntian nodded. "I can testify that nothing really happened. We were just chatting here."
Jiang Shiyue thought for a moment and added, "A little girl fell in there, and we helped her up and sent her out."
She knows that small details for normal people may be big things for autistic children like Yangyang.
Chen Shanhe reacted quickly and added: "During the previous ceremony, Sister Quanfu asked whether it was a boy or a girl, and Shiyue said it was a girl."
Lu Zheng: “…”
Lu Zheng rolled his eyes at Chen Shanhe and stood up. "You two know Yangyang's situation. He's quiet, but extremely sensitive. You said you liked girls right in front of him, and you were so gentle with other little girls. Let alone Yangyang being a special child, even an ordinary little boy would be jealous if his parents liked a little girl over him, right?"
