◎Gossip◎
Wei Xuan's younger uncle has one more son than his second uncle. The eldest son is already married, and the younger son, who is the same age as Wei Xuan, is planning to get married this year. Now a group of people are sitting in the main room discussing the dowry for his marriage.
Wei Xuan's second cousin Wei Yu also came today with her second cousin's husband, and was sitting next to Wei Xuan at this time.
Perhaps because he felt that the adults' conversation was boring, Wei Yu pulled Wei Xuan's sleeve, motioning her to go out and talk.
Wei Xuan glanced at Jiang Che and saw that he was surrounded by several brothers and cousins. He was so excited in talking about something that he didn't even think of looking for her. So she stood up and went out with Wei Yu without any worries.
Staying outside for a while in the cold winter of December can freeze a person, so Wei Xuan took Wei Yu to her room. Fearing that it would be awkward for the two of them to stay like this, Wei Xuan also found the fried melon seeds she brought back, grabbed a handful and handed them to Wei Yu. She also grabbed a handful and ate them in her hand. She thought that with something in her mouth, it wouldn't seem strange if she didn't speak!
What Wei Xuan didn't expect was that her second cousin and her husband really lived up to the old saying that people from the same family stick together. They were very talkative and curious. They asked Wei Xuan many strange questions, and the awkward silence she was worried about never happened.
Wei Xuan didn't dislike this kind of straightforward person who said whatever she wanted to say. The main reason was that this cousin was also very tactful. She didn't ask any private questions. Wei Xuan answered everything she knew and Wei Yu would respond to whatever she said. For a while, the two of them chatted happily.
When they got home after dinner, Wei Yu told her husband, "I never thought that Wei Xuan would marry in the city and her life would be better and better."
...
...
"What's wrong? Did she have a bad temper before?" Her husband Hao Qing asked curiously, putting down the footcloth in his hand.
It stands to reason that he and Wei Xuan are from the same village and should be familiar with each other. But Hao Qing is a few years older than Wei Xuan, and Wei Xuan doesn't like to play with the boys in the village, so most people in the village don't have a deep impression of her. Now, after hearing what his wife said, Hao Qing became curious about this capable sister-in-law.
"It's not that she's bad..." Wei Yu didn't know how to describe it: "She's just a bit strong. There are only three girls in our family, me, her and my eldest cousin. My eldest cousin and I used to hang out together before we got married, but Wei Xuan never hung out with us."
Hao Qing laughed: "What am I supposed to do? You are older than her, it is not normal that you can't play together."
Wei Yu felt that what her husband said was wrong, but she couldn't tell exactly what was wrong at the moment.
After thinking for a while with a frown but failing to come up with anything, she gave up and pulled Hao Qing aside to talk about the things Wei Xuan had brought back today.
She enviously said, "Look, Wei Xuan even bought milk powder for my uncle and aunt. I didn't know that adults could drink milk powder to nourish their bodies. Isn't this stuff for children? She bought two boxes at a time. Wow, it's incredible. I have never tasted milk powder in my life. What does it taste like?"
Hao Qing also wanted to try it, but he was not as cowardly as his wife to say it out loud, so he just thought about it in his mind.
In the rooms of the Wei family's sons, they were also talking about the things Wei Xuan brought back today.
Brother Wei talks little and thinks little. Sister-in-law Wei doesn't like to chat with him. Every time they chat, she feels like she is talking to herself, so she just thinks about it in her mind.
In Wei Erge's room, Wei Erge did have something to say, but he couldn't get a word in. Wei Ersao didn't need anyone's response at all, she just kept talking like a machine gun, and after she finished, she made her own conclusion.
"Look, my younger sister can live such a good life only because she married into the city. We have been like this all our lives. We don't have any special abilities, but we must train our son to be a talent. It would be best if he could get into college so that he can stay in the city like my younger sister." Of course, what she didn't say was that it would be even better if she could be brought into the city to enjoy a few more days of good life.
The corners of Wei Erge's mouth moved, and just when he was about to say that he felt he was quite capable, Wei Ersao pulled the quilt over and lay down to sleep! She didn't give him a chance to speak at all.
Only in Brother Wei San's room can the couple chat together.
Mrs. Wei said she wanted the vanishing cream that Wei Xuan had given to her mother-in-law. She could tell at a glance that it was not the cheap stuff sold in the supply and marketing cooperative, and even the packaging was different.
Third Brother Wei ignored her expectant gaze and immersed himself in his own world. After a long while, he spoke with regret: "I have never seen anyone wearing the pair of leather shoes that my younger sister gave to dad in the county. They must be a style only available in the city. If I could wear them and take a stroll around the village, everyone would be envious of me." Unfortunately, his feet were one size bigger than his father's.
He looked at his big feet with resentment, wondering if his father would be willing to let him wear the shoes once if he was not afraid of having his feet squeezed.
The two of them sighed and lay on the bed, knowing that they would not get a share of the things and could only think about it in their hearts.
After a while, Wei Sansao got up from the bed and said, "Why don't you go ask my younger sister if she can find you a job in the city?"
"What good things are you thinking?" Brother Wei didn't even look at her and put an end to her thoughts: "Even if my little sister really has this ability, there are so many people in the family, why should she give it to me? Just because you eat more than others?"
Mrs. Wei San was thick-skinned and didn't take the man's words of insult to heart. She ate so much because she was afraid of being hungry in the past, so she didn't think it was a big deal.
But after listening to her man, she knew that this was impossible.
After thinking for a while, she said, "It would be great if my aunt gave birth to a baby. I could go to the city to take care of the child for her." Then she would at least be able to have something good to eat.
Brother Wei San didn't expect his wife to have such an idea. He turned over and reached out to touch her head.
"Hey, what are you doing?"
"Let me see if you are daydreaming so late at night. Mother has been waiting for my little sister to get pregnant and go to the city to take care of her. What does it have to do with you?"
Mrs. Wei didn't care: "My mother-in-law is old, but I am different. I am strong and can do anything. If my mother-in-law goes, it won't delay my going." She felt that if her mother-in-law went, her sister-in-law would not let her work. If there was a shortage of people to work, she would have a chance.
Seeing that she was stubborn, Third Brother Wei didn't bother to pay attention to her anymore. After all, it wouldn't hurt to think about it. Just like he always thought about living a good life with delicious food and drinks one day!
Wei Xuan didn't expect that besides Wei's mother and Jiang's mother, there would be other people who cared about her belly.
In short, when Wei Xuan returned to the Wei family this year, she was deeply devastated by her mother's urging to give birth.
Even when the two of them boarded the bus back to Beijing, Wei Xuan's resentment had not yet subsided, and even Jiang Che could sense it.
Jiang Che also knew that his mother-in-law was anxious for them to have a baby. Not only was his mother-in-law urging him, but his mother was also anxious.
What he didn't tell Wei Xuan was that on New Year's Eve, his mother had already taken him to his room and lectured him. Even his father Jiang, who always stood on his side, didn't speak up for him this time. Instead, he gave him a reminder, allowing him to start planning.
Jiang Che actually felt that now was the time to give birth, but when he turned around and saw that his wife still looked unhappy, he was afraid that she would not be willing, so he swallowed the words that were about to come out of his mouth.
Was Wei Xuan unwilling? Actually, not really. She was just a little annoyed by Wei's mother's constant nagging.
In fact, now that she thinks about it carefully, she feels that it is time. She is 19 years old this year. If she gets pregnant now and gives birth to the child, she will be 20 years old. Age is not a problem.
The most important thing is that in the year and a half since she married Jiang Che, their relationship has become more stable. She is not sure whether they love each other or not, but what she can be sure of is that they both have the most basic sense of belonging and responsibility to this family, and that is enough.
As for love, what's the point of asking for so many illusory things? Only when you are at peace in your heart, can you accompany and support each other through every ups and downs in the future, this is real.
At least now Jiang Che is willing to let her try to rely on him!
The two returned home with a lot on their minds, and after dinner they lay in bed quietly without saying a word.
After a long while, Wei Xuan spoke first: "Jiang Che, how about we have a baby?"
"What?" Jiang Che suddenly sat up from his bed and looked straight at Wei Xuan.
Wei Xuan was startled by his movement. After she reacted, she realized that his mouth was almost stretched to the back of his ears. She knew that he was happy, so Wei Xuan said it again: "I say, let's have a baby..."
"Give birth, give birth now." Before Wei Xuan could finish her words, Jiang Che pulled the quilt over them both.
Soon, Wei Xuan's angry voice came from the bed: "Jiang Che, why are you so anxious? Be gentle."
Jiang Che's heart was burning with anger. How could he not be anxious? So he replied in a rough and hasty voice, "Wife, just think of it as feeling sorry for me!"
The biting cold wind was blowing outside, forming a sharp contrast with the weather inside the house.
Soon snowflakes began to float in the sky, and occasionally one or two were blown onto the windowsill by the wind, as if little people were blatantly peeping at the scene inside the house. However, they would soon be melted into small drops of water by the scorching temperature in the house, sliding down the glass and finally forming a puddle of water on the ground, waiting to be discovered by the owner the next day.
After the Chinese New Year, Wei Xuan and Jiang Che went to work as usual. Just like last year, they started their small business only after the weather warmed up a little.
As for having children, the two plan to let nature take its course.
The one who has changed the most is Jiang Che. As long as he is at home, Wei Xuan must not be out of his sight.
For example, now, Wei Xuan is standing in the kitchen cooking, and he has to stay and watch.
As soon as Wei Xuan moved her feet and prepared to go outside to pick two onions in the yard, he asked, "Where are you going?"
Wei Xuan helplessly put her hands on her hips and looked at him: "I'll go get the onions."
"I'll go, you stay here and don't move." After saying that, he ran out.
Wei Xuan followed him when he wanted to work, but she really couldn't stand him looking at her like a prisoner. Wei Xuan even suspected that if he was not bad at cooking, he would take over the cooking as well.
She's obviously not pregnant yet. If she really is pregnant, that would be terrible.
So, after dinner, Wei Xuan asked Jiang Che to sit down, as she wanted to have a serious talk with him.
Seeing her so serious, Jiang Che thought he had done something to make her angry again. He was unsure, so his words sounded a little hollow: "Wife, I haven't been out causing trouble recently, right?"
