“Ahhhhhhhhhh…”
Xiao Linglong seemed particularly excited today. When she saw Chu Dagen, she stretched out her hand and babbled, as if she was saying hello.
"Oh, our Xiaolong'er, do you know that your uncle is here? Come, come, let your uncle hug you!" Old Mrs. Ling smiled and picked up her granddaughter, then handed her to Chu Dagen.
Chu Dagen doesn't have any children at home. The children born to his sister before were all naughty boys, so he just hugged them. But now looking at this fair, tender and delicate little girl, he really doesn't know where to put his hands.
"No, forget it, forget it, I can't hold you like this!"
Chu Dagen waved his hands repeatedly and spoke a little incoherently.
The little baby in her arms stretched out her hands to reach towards Chu Dagen. Chu Yuefang said with a smile: "Dagen, why are you so nervous? Your little niece is very well-behaved and has never cried. Just hug her. There is no need to be so cautious."
Seeing the little baby's black eyes in front of him and hearing what his sister said, Chu Dagen felt a little itchy and stretched out his hand carefully.
Although Chu Dagen held the child in a very stiff position, the delicate little baby still stayed in his arms very obediently, babbling something in his mouth, which was really adorable.
"See, your little niece really likes you." Chu Yuefang smiled and patted her brother's shoulder. "Hold your niece first, and see if you and Yuan Qin can have a baby later."
Chu Dagen has been married for several years, but he and Yuan Qin have never had children. They have both seen a doctor and there is nothing wrong with their health.
Chu Yuefang's eldest sister-in-law Yuan Qin was narrow-minded and often sighed about this matter. She felt that it was really shameful that she, as the eldest sister-in-law of the Chu brothers, had not given birth to a child.
In fact, no one in the Chu family blamed her. Chu Dagen often told Yuan Qin that whether or not to have a child was God's will. If there was one, it would be good, but if not, they didn't need to worry.
Chu Yuefang often comforts Yuan Qin, but Chu Shuanggen's child is already three years old, and Chu Sangen's wife is also pregnant this year and will give birth in a few months. Yuan Qin can't help but be anxious.
"Our little Long is so blessed. Dagen, you should hug her more. Maybe you can give birth to a fat baby when you go back!" said Old Mrs. Ling.
There is also an old saying that if a family does not have children, they can hug other people's children more often, or raise other people's children at home for a few days, and they may soon have children.
Chu Dagen felt a little embarrassed when he heard his sister and her mother-in-law say this. He blushed and said, "It's okay. It doesn't matter whether there is a child or not..."
Although the Chu brothers are now married, they still live in the same courtyard and have never separated.
The Chu family used to live in poverty and had not saved much money. Old Man Chu really couldn't afford to build houses for all his sons. It was also a problem who to build for and who not to build for. He kept hesitating about it and kept putting it off. Now they all still live together and no one wants to separate and live on their own.
So Chu Dagen can see his nephew every day and doesn't feel lonely at home.
It’s just that his wife feels that she is getting older and wants a child more urgently.
"Let's go to the kitchen. The food should be cold. Let's eat first!"
Ling Hancheng came over and shouted.
Chu Yuefang quickly responded: "Come on, let's go eat first."
Ling Hancheng has already prepared milk powder for his little girl and Xiaowu. Now there is enough milk powder, so the children will definitely not go hungry.
Old Mrs. Ling was holding little Linglong, and Chu Yuefang was holding little Wu, and both children were drinking with gulps.
Today's meal is relatively simple, cornmeal buns, cornmeal porridge, pickled cabbage dumplings, and two plates of scrambled eggs with green onions. The thing they have the most now is eggs.
After all, there is a big dinner at noon, so it’s okay to just eat something to fill your stomach now. The lunch meal should be a full and good one.
"Dagen, you've worked hard recently, so eat more!" Old Mrs. Ling moved a plate of eggs in front of Chu Dagen.
Chu Dagen said hurriedly: "You don't have to work hard, I can just drink porridge and eat steamed buns, these are for Ling Mu and the others."
Chu Dagen didn't know that the Ling family's chickens could still lay ten eggs every day in winter. Seeing that at least five or six of the two plates of eggs had been used, he thought that this was enough for several days, and he felt embarrassed to eat it.
"Uncle, please eat. We have enough to eat. We eat eggs every day." Ling Mu said, "You can eat. Don't worry about us."
Ling Hancheng also said, "Just eat it, Dagen. We've had a lot of chicken orders these days, so we'll have plenty of eggs."
But he didn't say how many he could get, otherwise it would sound strange to anyone who heard it.
Chu Dagen glanced at the fourth nephew of the Ling family who was eating steamed buns and pickles. It seemed that even his fourth nephew, who loved to eat the most, didn't like it that much.
It seems that there is really no shortage of eggs to eat.
All the Ling family members were staring at him at this moment, as if he had to eat.
There was no other way, so Chu Dagen could only nod helplessly and say, "Okay, okay, I'll eat it right away, I'll eat it right away!"
He couldn't stand being stared at by so many eyes.
After Xiao Linglong and Xiao Wu finished drinking the milk powder, they were put on Ling Lin and the others' beds. Ling Lin and Ling Sen were always the fastest to eat, so now they ran to play with the little babies.
Ling Xiaosi looked anxious and almost choked while drinking porridge. Fortunately, Ling Mu next to him was quick to pat his back, otherwise he might have choked.
This time he didn't want to eat anymore. He ran to find his brothers with half a steamed bun in his mouth.
Chu Dagen couldn't help but say, "They all like the new kid very much."
"That's right. Don't you know that those leaders also want a younger sister?" Chu Yuefang said with a smile.
Chu Dagen nodded.
That’s true.
Others may not know how much the Ling family's children want a younger sister, but he knows it very well.
A few years ago, when the children of his second brother Chu Shuanggen came to have a banquet, Ling Mu took his twin brothers to see it, and the three of them were obviously very disappointed.
The one who came was my cousin, not my cousin.
Now I finally have a younger sister. No matter whether she is biological or adopted, having one is definitely better than not having one.
What's more, this little baby is so white and pretty.
There were also many adopted children being raised in their Xiaowang Village, but Chu Dagen remembered that many of the abandoned children were pale and skinny, and it was obvious that their families were very poor and did not raise them. However, little Linglong was so white and plump after only a few days in the Ling family, which showed that he had not suffered much before.
It is indeed different.
The adults all liked it when they saw it, not to mention the children like Ling Mu.
The fact that the Ling family is willing to kill a pig to prepare a banquet for this child is enough to show that they love him to the core.
Thinking of this, Chu Dagen also felt full of energy. After eating eggs with porridge and steamed buns, he seemed to have endless energy.
"Now that we've had enough to eat and drink, let's get started!"
