“You can’t eat it.”

Guan Hanyu ruthlessly pushed her little hand away and gave the last popsicle to the strange child.

Shen Rongrong pursed her lips, sat back with red eyes, and ate the remaining half of her popsicle, which she quickly finished.

When Old Chen came out, he saw his daughter-in-law sitting on a stone bench pitifully, watching others eat popsicles, with a look of something wrong in her eyes.

I asked the children around and found out what happened. The grandmother-in-law bought a lot of popsicles but didn't give them to her. The one she ate was the white sugar popsicles, while the ones the grandmother-in-law bought for other children were all colorful. They were pink, blue, green and red, and they looked really pretty. After eating them, their tongues changed color, which was even more fun. But she didn't have any.

"Dad?" Seeing Chen Guozhong, Shen Rongrong immediately jumped down: "Dad, I..."

Before he finished speaking, Chen Guozhong immediately promised: "Don't be angry! Dad will buy it for you!"

Chen Guozhong had a certain comradeship towards Shen Rongrong. After all, her grandfather was his father's comrade-in-arms in life and death. How could he let her suffer any injustice?

He immediately ran to the store in the courtyard and bought some popsicles, and handed them all to Shen Rongrong: "Eat!"

Shen Rongrong, who suddenly received a lot of popsicles just by saying hello, was confused for two seconds before she burst out laughing: "Thank you, Dad~!"

"Hey~" Old Chen laughed happily.

Seeing Old Chen actively showing goodwill to his daughter-in-law, Guan Hanyu glared at him: "You are her father, but I am not her mother."

"Look at you. You were so happy when you were at home, but you become unhappy when you come here. Who are you showing your sullen face to?"

Guan Hanyu looked down on this cheap daughter-in-law and secretly said to her husband: "Do you think she looks like an adult? From the very beginning when we met, she seemed to be mentally disturbed. She couldn't speak clearly before. My son said in the letter that she was different, but when I met her, she was still..."

"Oh my god..." Chen Guozhong was very annoyed and raised his hands vigorously: "My son likes her! My son likes her! Haven't you noticed! The one you liked before, he didn't even look at her. He just said if you agree, I agree, and then he went back to the team. But you have been carrying this one with you all the time! He hasn't even got married yet, but he asked us to help him with all the procedures and insisted on staying by his side! You said you were smart all your life, how come you don't know these things!"

"This..." Guan Hanyu was melancholy for a while, and sighed when he saw Shen Rongrong pouting at other people's popsicles. He poked Lao Chen again: "Do you think... does my son have any unique perverted hobbies? Just like that old tall guy in our military district's old courtyard."

Old Gaotou?

He married six or seven wives in his lifetime, all of whom had some intellectual problems. Neighbors said he was "sick".

At that time, the old man said to his neighbors: "I like this kind of child, obedient and fun. Anyway, I don't want children. When I'm done playing, I'll get a new one, a younger one. No one at home wants to serve that kind of child. They'd rather give it to me!"

When the old couple remembered this, they immediately rushed upstairs and saw Chen Yu who was busy moving the bed.

"Son... Mom wants to ask something." Guan Hanyu looked at her son who bought a set of pink and blue bed flowers and asked carefully, "What do you like about your new wife?"

Chen Yu, who was nailing mortise and tenon joints, paused for a moment, not freeing his hands to answer.

Shen Rongrong poked her head out from behind the door and called out deliberately, "Husband~"

"Hmm?" After the last hammer went in and confirmed it was secure, Mr. Chen looked back at his parents and Rongrong behind him and asked, "What's wrong?"

The old couple looked at each other without saying anything because Shen Rongrong came over.

Seeing that there was no sound around, Shen Rongrong thought that he was asking her. She handed the things in her hand to him and asked, "When will the refrigerator arrive?"

Only then did Chen Yu realize that she was holding a small paper box in her hand.

"What's this?"

"My dad bought it for me." Shen Rongrong opened the box to show off, then smiled brightly, "A box of colorful popsicles!"

Chen Yu: “…”

In the past few days, he and Rongrong have been having some minor issues.

Rongrong's only requirement is to eat two popsicles every day.

She also set some conditions: eat two popsicles a day and call him "husband" every day, otherwise call him "Brother Chen".

Mr. Chen admitted that he was indeed tempted by this condition.

But the premise that I can't eat too many popsicles every day is that I'm afraid she'll get cold. If I get caught with this little thing, I won't be able to live my life anymore.

So Mr. Chen tried to replace the popsicles with various cookies and snacks to see if he could "talk some emotion" into the popsicles.

As a result, the appeal failed.

He has been Brother Chen for many days.

Try to negotiate and cheat. You can buy two every day, but eat one every day. Buy a refrigerator and put the rest in the refrigerator.

Shen Rongrong thought for a moment and said, "Isn't it still one a day? And won't the refrigerator be full in no time?"

Obviously the deception also failed.

I didn't expect that he would suddenly become my husband today.

He was quite surprised.

So the ones bought by dad also count?

He immediately whispered back, "Dad bought the popsicles, and Dad bought the refrigerator."

"No problem! Dad will buy it." Chen Guozhong immediately responded, "And buy a TV! Your mother-in-law has watched it for a few days, and she will come over after a while!"

"Thank you, Dad! I'll share these with other military wives!"

After Shen Rongrong finished speaking, she closed the door and left happily.

Chen Yu was left alone to think about his mother's question in silence, then he looked up and smiled and answered, "I think I like her because she is obedient, kind-hearted, cute, and fun."

The old couple's faces turned pale, they looked at each other, turned around and went out, slamming the door shut.

"It's over. Your son might be sick."

"…Your son is sick!"

"Yes, our son is sick!"

…

Three days later, a large four-wheeled cart drove into the yard, carrying a large pile of things tied with red flowers.

In the 1980s, the most prestigious thing about getting married was the three things that made the house look so prestigious: a brand new bicycle, sewing machine, watch and radio, which were placed in the house one after another.

The furniture and cabinets are also handmade, and when moved into the small dormitory, they seem a bit sweetly crowded.

At the same time, Guan Hanyu personally selected gold and silver jewelry, beautiful clothes and shoes for her daughter-in-law, filling the closet and shoe racks.

Everyone in the entire compound watched as they moved in brand new sheets and quilts. The exquisite patterns and soft texture made it clear that they were carefully selected and that the couple attached great importance to their daughter-in-law.

Shen Yueying was the one who didn't understand.

She had clearly seen a few days ago that Guan Hanyu didn't like Shen Rongrong very much, and bought things for other strange children but not for her.

I don't understand why there was a sudden change today?

She didn't know that Guan Hanyu had indeed felt that this silly daughter-in-law was not worthy of his son before, but now he suddenly realized that his son had some bad habits or strange diseases and was craving for silly girls.

Well, since the girl is willing to accommodate him and marry him, as parents they can only do their best to make up for this silly child.

The change in thinking led to a change in behavior. Not only did he buy a lot of things for her, he even did everything himself and tried to get her way in everything.

Chen Guozhong watched a group of people busy moving things into the house, and said to Shen Rongrong, who had been staring at the excitement with wide eyes, "Rong girl! If our little Chen bullies you in the future, just tell me! I will bully him!"

"No!" Shen Rongrong nodded obediently: "He is very good to me. I never have to worry about big things, but he always takes care of me on small matters!"

Chen Guozhong: “……?”

He glanced at Chen Yu in confusion, not quite understanding whether this was his daughter-in-law complaining or what?

Chen Yu smiled softly and said, "I don't care anymore. I'll cancel the engagement."

When the old couple heard what he said, their faces immediately froze.

But before he could move, Shen Rongrong jumped onto his back and whispered in his ear: "No way! We agreed that you will have a child with us, and this cannot be changed!"

Chen Yu took a deep breath, and the smile that was originally teasing her froze on his face.

Every time the topic of 'having a baby' comes up, I feel like I'm just a tool for borrowing sperm.

This tool doesn't work very well...

For the first time in his life, Mr. Chen asked in a cowardly tone, "Is it not okay to not have children?"
