Wenwen was at a loss for words when she heard her niece's childish talk. "Where did you hear that from, you sprite?"
The boy sitting on the other arm said, "I know, Xiaocao heard it from grandma."
The little girl is the daughter of Wen Xiao and Gu Xingyu. Her nickname is Xiaocao. She was given the nickname Xiaocao because she was weak when she was born.
The little boy is the son of Wen Lei and Shen Yina, nicknamed Taotao. The boy has a personality like his father. He is the eldest grandson in the eldest son's family. He knows at a young age that he must protect his younger sister who is three months younger than him. He has a calm personality. His family hopes that he can be more lively and cheerful, so they named him Taotao.
Xiaocao's big eyes, distinctly black and white, were full of life. "Grandma asked why Auntie hadn't gotten married yet? Auntie, what does marriage mean?"
Wenwen listened to Xiaocao's baby voice and shook her head helplessly. Among her four brothers, three have already started families. Wensheng married a female arts soldier in the army last year. After her third brother also got a partner not long ago, her mother's attention was focused on her.
He often reminded her to get married with Yu Xunting, saying that if they delayed any longer, Yu Xunting would be over 30 years old and they should not delay him.
"Auntie doesn't know either. If she knew, she would have gotten married and stopped grandma from nagging her."
As soon as she finished speaking, Chen Yuelian was seen standing at the kitchen door with a spatula in her hand. "You just bully Xiaocao because she is young and talk nonsense in front of her." After saying that, she glared at her daughter and turned back to the kitchen to busy herself.
Wenwen touched her nose. Ever since Xiaocao was born, she had fallen out of favor as the group's favorite.
Wenwen, carrying three small mountains on her back, walked into the living room where Yu Baitian and Shi Fuze were playing chess.
After the new house in Lijiawan was built, everyone moved back to their own house. Wenwen lived with her parents, and Yu Baitian was also there. Because they were worried about Yu Baitian living alone, He Hongchi often went back to Lijiawan to live for a while when he was free.
In the past, the Wen family, the most lively family in the village, suddenly became deserted. The sons grew up and started their own families. Fortunately, there are now two grandchildren to accompany the Wen family. Wen Zhongxiang is semi-retired and enjoys the pleasure of playing with his grandchildren at home.
Xiaocao and Taotao ran to the two old men and called them great-grandfather affectionately, which made the two old men smile from ear to ear.
Yu Baitian said to Wenwen, "Your second brother and Xun Ting are coming back today."
Wenwen was surprised, "Aren't they busy?"
Yu Baitian shook his head, "I don't know, they didn't tell me in detail on the phone."
Wenwen opened her mouth to say something when a voice came from outside the yard.
She hurried to the yard and saw that Yu Xunting, Wen Sheng and her second sister-in-law Zhang Yi had already returned.
Wen Sheng supported Zhang Yi. Zhang Yi's face was pale. Wen Wen was shocked when she saw this. Could she be sick? She asked anxiously, "Brother, what's wrong with my sister-in-law? Is she feeling unwell?"
Although Wen Sheng looked worried, he didn't panic. He whispered to Wen Wen, "Your sister-in-law is pregnant."
"Really," Wenwen was surprised. The Wen family was going to have another baby, which was such a happy event.
Wen Sheng nodded with joy. "Yes, it's been three months. It's just that she's had severe morning sickness recently. I'm about to go on a mission, and I'm worried about her being alone in the military compound, so I sent Ayi home."
Wenwen quickly stepped forward to support Zhang Yi, and then kept pressing the Neiguan point on the inside of her forearm. Pressing this point can help stop vomiting.
Chen Yuelian, who heard the noise in the kitchen, came out and asked with concern, "What happened to Ayi?"
Wenwen helped Zhang Yi into the living room to rest.
Wen Sheng pulled Chen Yuelian aside to explain.
Yu Xunting, who came back with them, was completely ignored and no one asked about him.
Yu Xunting touched his nose and walked into the living room silently. He was very envious of Wen Sheng who was about to become a father.
He silently glanced at Wenwen, who was surrounding Zhang Yi and constantly asking questions, wondering when she would notice that he had come back with her.
In the evening, the Wen family gathered together and everyone congratulated Wen Sheng...
After dinner, Chen Yulian pulled Wenwen into the bedroom and asked, "Little sister, when did you and Xunting have your wedding?"
Wenwen couldn't understand why she was in her early twenties and had to be pressured into marriage. She said, "Mom, don't meddle in our affairs. I told you I won't get married so soon. We'll get married naturally in a few years."
Chen Yulian poked her forehead. "You're definitely not in a hurry, but what about Xun Ting? Xun Ting is so much older than you. Your brothers have all gotten married and had children, but he's still waiting for you. Didn't you see the envious look in his eyes? Don't you have eyes?"
Wenwen rubbed her painful forehead and muttered softly, "If he can't wait, he can find someone else to marry, right?"
Chen Yuelian slapped the back of her hand. "What are you talking about? You two have been engaged since childhood. Now you're asking him to marry someone else. You're really stupid."
"Mom," Wenwen saw Chen Yuelian was angry and took her arm and acted coquettishly, "My cousin and I have already made a ten-year agreement. Can you please just leave it alone? When the ten years are up, we will naturally get married."
"You girl, you only think about yourself. What's the ten-year agreement? Only Xun Ting would play along with you. Get married sooner, and I'll take care of the child. It won't affect your work. Also, you should think more about your grandfather Yu. Although he has never urged you to get married, can you bear the envious look in his eyes? Such an old man."
After Chen Yuelian finished speaking, she walked out of the room angrily without waiting for her reaction. It seemed that she was really angry.
For several days in a row, Chen Yuelian ignored Wenwen and didn't even look at her. Wenwen was very depressed because her mother was angry with her.
Yu Xunting noticed the subtle emotional changes between mother and daughter.
He decided to have a good talk with Wenwen, and that day he asked Wenwen to go for a walk around Anhe.
Coming to the bank of Anhe River, it becomes a place for everyone to have fun after dinner. A large area of lotus flowers ripples on the water, and the vast water reflects the weeping willows by the river. Accompanied by the fragrance of flowers, butterflies linger and dance.
Yu Xunting looked at the beautiful scenery in front of him and spoke carefully, "Wenwen, have you been quarreling with Auntie these days?"
Wenwen sighed softly and said helplessly: "It's my mother. She is urging us to get married."
Yu Xunting stared at her sideways, "Why are you so against marriage? Do you not trust me?"
Wenwen shook her head. How could she start talking about it? Could it be that she had experienced something like that in her previous life and that was why she was afraid of marriage?
"I just don't want to get married so early. If I get married, I'll have the constraints of a family, and I won't be as free as I am now. I'm talking about the freedom of my heart, do you understand?"
Yu Xunting nodded, "I understand, but I think that if we get married, it will definitely not restrict you in any way.
Also, I roughly understand what you are thinking. If possible, you don't want to get married, right?
Wenwen nodded silently. She wanted to be the fighting Buddha.
"But, this is impossible. You know how harsh the world is on women. If you don't get married, others may not judge you, but your parents will be under psychological pressure.
Actually, if you think about it carefully, there are only benefits and no harm for you if we get married."
