With help from others to take care of the child, Bai Xiaoyue picked up her pen again and started writing from the time she became pregnant with Xiaobai, recording the child's growth.
That night, after Yan Ci had put the child to sleep, Bai Xiaoyue asked him:
"Aci, this little white thing is already three months old, have you chosen a name yet?"
Yan Ci: "It was chosen long ago, Yan Mubai."
Bai Xiaoyue took a piece of paper and handed it to Yan Ci: "Write it down for me to see."
With a flourish of his pen, Yan Ci wrote the three characters "Yan Mubai" on the paper.
Bai Xiaoyue asked, "Are you using the Yan family's generational naming system? Should Xiaobai use the character 'Mu' now?"
Yan Ci shook his head: "No, I just think this character is good."
Bai Xiaoyue was a little confused. Was this too direct, too much like a straight man?
Those are typical soldiers—simple and straightforward.
Seeing Bai Xiaoyue staring intently at the three words, Yan Ci asked somewhat nervously:
"Honey, what's wrong? Don't you like it?"
Bai Xiaoyue quickly said:
"That's good, but the character '慕' has too many strokes. Xiaobai will be at a disadvantage in future exams!"
She took the paper and pen and rewrote Yan Mubai's name, showing it to Yan Ci:
"Use this one, it has fewer strokes and the pronunciation is the same."
Yan Ci hugged his wife and said with a wronged expression:
"Okay! I'll listen to my wife."
My wife smells sweet and soft, and even has a milky scent. The doctor said we could have sex after a month, but it's been two months already.
"Honey, it's been two months since my surgery, I want to give it a try."
"You didn't even discuss the surgery with me, and you still want to try it? Humph!"
Ignoring his wife's protests, Yan Ci pressed down on her and forcefully kissed her lips until she went limp.
With its head constantly down, it was trying to steal food from Xiaobai. Bai Xiaoyue was both ashamed and angry. "Aci!"
Yan Ci licked his lips: "Wife, don't worry, I'll be right there."
He forcefully lowered his body, not allowing his wife to refuse, and after several tender moments, Yan Ci was finally satisfied.
Afterwards, Yan Ci held Bai Xiaoyue and said:
"Honey, I didn't lie to you, did I? My body hasn't been affected, has it?"
Seeing that Bai Xiaoyue ignored him, he tried to turn over again:
"Wife, are you not satisfied? Let me prove it again."
Bai Xiaoyue quickly stopped her, saying, "Satisfied, satisfied, you're great, it's just that I'm not strong enough."
Yan Ci chuckled softly, gently massaging his wife's lower back until she fell asleep, then he himself went to sleep contentedly.
Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, Xiaobai is four months old. The little guy looks a lot like his father, a spitting image of a little Yan Ci (a famous Chinese poet).
Chang Le is on summer vacation, but she doesn't go out to play with her friends. She stays home every day taking care of her younger brother.
Xiao Bai also really likes Chang Le; whenever his sister teases him, he giggles.
After lunch, Bai Xiaoyue took the two children for a nap. The weather was hot, and the three of them were sweating profusely.
Yan Ci opened the windows and doors wide and was fanning his wife and children with a palm-leaf fan.
There was a series of knocks on the door outside the courtyard, and someone called out, "Sister, brother-in-law, open the door."
Afraid of waking his wife, Yan Ci hurried forward and opened the door, where Bai Wen'an stood.
"Brother-in-law, where is my sister?" Bai Wen'an asked hurriedly as he stepped into the courtyard.
Bai Xiaoyue had already woken up. Hearing the sound, she came out from the inner room and was very happy to see that Bai Wen'an had returned.
She hurriedly called to her younger brother, "Wen'an, when did you get back?"
Bai Wen'an replied with a smile:
"Sister, I just arrived and haven't gone home yet. I came to see you first. Where's my nephew?"
Bai Xiaoyue pointed to the inner room: "Is he still sleeping?"
Bai Wen'an hesitated, scratching his head:
"I've come to ask my sister and brother-in-law for help."
"Oh, what's the matter?" Bai Xiaoyue and Yan Ci exchanged a glance.
Bai Wen'an didn't come back alone this time, but with three people: his girlfriend Wen Tong and his mother-in-law Wen Xiya. The two of them are currently staying at a guesthouse.
Bai Xiaoyue was very happy:
"This is a good thing! Why don't you bring it home? Your mother nags about your marriage every day, I'm sick of hearing it."
Bai Wen'an moved his lips, but no sound came out for a long time. Bai Xiaoyue's heart tightened. If he was so reluctant to speak, then this person was probably not simple.
She asked Bai Wenan cautiously:
"Could she be a married woman?"
Bai Wen'an laughed in anger, "Sis, what are you thinking? Don't you know what kind of person I am? You wouldn't want me to be a third party!"
Bai Xiaoyue felt relieved, took a tomato, and listened to her brother's gossip while munching on it.
Bai Wen'an gritted his teeth and said, "Wen Tong's family situation is a bit complicated."
Bai Xiaoyue smiled and said, "Then tell me slowly."
Wen Tong's mother, Wen Xiya, and father, Xiang Zhennan, are a tall and handsome couple, and a gentle and beautiful couple. They are attracted to each other and quickly fall in love.
By the time Wen Xiya learned that Xiang Zhennan had another wife, she was already deeply in love and unable to extricate herself.
He assured Zhennan and Wen Xiya that he would only love her for the rest of his life, and that his wife was an arranged marriage by his parents. There was no affection between them.
Anyway, Xiang Zhennan coaxed and tricked Wen Xiya into becoming his second wife, which was allowed before the founding of the People's Republic of China.
For the first few years, the two were very much in love and even had a daughter named Xiang Tong.
After the founding of the People's Republic of China, a monogamous system was implemented, so Xiang Zhennan bought a house for Wen Xiya outside the country.
Originally, she was asked to move out on her own, but Xiang Tong insisted on staying with her mother, so the two of them lived together in the house outside.
Xiang Zhennan regularly provided the mother and daughter with living expenses every month, which was common practice among many wealthy families at the time.
The Xiang family is wealthy, and they have donated money over the years, so they still live a comfortable life.
The problem is that Xiang Tong has grown up and become a beautiful and graceful young woman.
Madam Xiang wanted to use her to curry favor with the powerful and wealthy, paving the way for her son's future.
When Xiang Tong found out, she went to confront Xiang Zhennan and caused a scene. In the end, she broke off all ties with the Xiang family and took her mother's surname.
Xiang Tong became Wen Tong and secretly took her mother away with her.
Bai Xiaoyue was dumbfounded after hearing this. Such a love-hate entanglement actually exists in the world, and it's not just something made up by TV screenwriters.
After Bai Wen'an finished speaking, he patted his thigh:
That's roughly the situation.
Bai Xiaoyue asked, puzzled:
"Wen Tong's family situation is complicated, but they've severed ties, so there shouldn't be any problems. What are you worried about?"
Bai Wen'an lamented, "I still need to study for another year before I can work, don't I?"
Bai Xiaoyue couldn't bear to see her younger brother troubled:
"Just tell me, what do you want to do? Tell me your thoughts."
“I want to get engaged to Wen Tong first, so that Wen Tong and her mother can stay in the village, and I can come back here to work after I graduate.”
"There shouldn't be any problem, they can live with their parents."
"I'm just afraid my parents won't agree."
"Go and talk to your parents first."
Bai Wen'an nodded and prepared to leave.
Bai Xiaoyue quickly grabbed Bai Wen'an and asked solemnly:
"Wen'an, do you really love Wen Tong? Forever? What if being with her will affect your future?"
Bai Wen'an also answered seriously:
"Yes, I love her for life. If we don't have a good future, then we'll come back and become farmers, just like my sister and brother-in-law."
Bai Xiaoyue continued:
"Since you are so determined, there is one thing you must remember: you must not tell anyone about Wen Tong's relationship with the Xiang family, including your parents."
Go pick Wen Tong up as soon as possible; don't keep her waiting.
