Chapter 8: Ring Picking
Qi Shunmin couldn't bear to hit him when she saw her husband's stunned look, so she explained: "Juanzi has already called me." She said she wouldn't be coming back to the house because she was staying with his dad tonight. You deliberately made these delicious foods in order to tie up your relationship with her, I'm afraid this intention is in vain. ”
In order to hide the loss in his heart, Chen Xuewu reluctantly smiled: "It's nothing. I can understand children, after all, they are close to their own fathers. But it's nothing, it's the same for me to treat the baby alone for this dinner. ”
Qi Shunmin's eyes moistened, and she explained softly: "Juanzi still kissed me before, but because I remarried earlier than her father, which made her feel a little unacceptable. Actually, she mainly has opinions about me. ”
Chen Xuewu expressed his understanding: "Well, I know that you are under great pressure to marry me, and almost all family members are against it. I really admire your courage and feel the pressure. ”
Qi Shunmin was going back to the bedroom to change clothes, but when he heard his new husband's words, he stopped and asked curiously: "What pressure do you have?" ”
Chen Xuewu smiled emotionally: "In my lifetime, I was able to marry a goddess like Baobao, and I felt that I had stolen a huge bargain." That's why I feel honest and scared every day, that is, I am afraid that the baby will feel wronged. ”
Qi Shunmin's eyes suddenly filled with tears, and he couldn't help but feel distressed: "So you try your best to please me every day, and you don't let me reach out for any housework." But isn't it too tiring for you to do this? ”
Chen Xuewu hurriedly shook his head: "No." Only when I let my baby be freed from trivial housework and can enjoy my efforts, will I feel extremely down-to-earth. Because I once remembered that there was such a sentence on the Internet, which probably meant something like this - I have no money and no power, if I treat you badly again, then how can I keep your love? ”
Qi Shunmin smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Fool, even if I am a little tired, I don't want you to live too stressed." I know that my family can't accept you for a while, and it puts a lot of pressure on you. But I have long said that even if I am the only one in this world who cares about you, I will not let you lack love anymore. ”
Chen Xuewu was also so excited that he burst into tears, quickly avoided his wife's gaze, and persuaded while continuing to work: "Go out and rest, don't let the kitchen smoke blacken your white and tender little face." ”
Qi Shunmin smiled, knowing that only by being more leisurely, her husband's heart could feel steady.
At dinner, the two of them inevitably had some intimate interactions. Especially in Juanzi's absence, Chen Xuewu from time to time filled Qi Shunmin's small mouth with the boutiques in the dishes again and again...
Qi Shunmin has something in her heart, but it is inconvenient to say it at this time, because her mouth has to deal with the delicious food that her husband frequently brings over.
"Husband, aren't you afraid of spoiling me if you spoil me like this?" Qi Shunmin's cute whisper.
Chen Xuewu laughed and said, "I'm not afraid." I, Chen Xuewu, have lived for most of my life, and I have never had children, and now I finally have a home. Since Juanzi doesn't approve of me, I have to treat the baby as a daughter. ”
Qi Shunmin couldn't help but pout: "Hey, it's been a long time, you just treat me as a daughter?" ”
"Haha, not exactly. You said that since you are the only one in this world who cares about me, I have to treat you as all relatives, like a wife and a daughter. So, you're going to take on the role of these two families. ”
Qi Shunmin couldn't help but smile sweetly: "I can still play the third role - that is, to be your sister at the same time." ”
Chen Xuewu picked up another piece of fish meat and quickly filled it into her mouth: "Hmm." Then I'll feed my good sister another piece of fish. ”
Qi Shunmin hadn't completely digested the piece of fish meat in his mouth, so he asked while chewing: "Xuewu, I want to ask you something, I hope you will tell me the truth." ”
Chen Xuewu couldn't help but stop his chopsticks and asked nervously, "What does the baby want to ask me?" ”
Qi Shunmin quickly swallowed the chewed fish meat and asked tentatively, "We have been living together for almost half a year." Didn't you expect me to have a baby for you? ”
Chen Xuewu was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but bow his head and say nothing.
"Brother, you can say it quickly, don't twist and pinch it, okay?"
Qi Shunmin added another title to him at this time, which was her honorific title for him when they first met on the Internet.
Chen Xuewu finally raised his head and stared at Qi Shunmin's cheek with a sincere gaze: "Baby, do you remember what I said to you on our wedding night?" ”
Qi Shunmin blinked his confused eyes and couldn't help but shake his head: "You told me too much that day. How do I know what you want to say? ”
Chen Xuewu had no choice but to remind: "That's the sentence - you have given me a home now, and I want to give you lifelong happiness!" ”
Qi Shunmin was stunned: "Does this have anything to do with whether you want me to have a child?" ”
Chen Xuewu nodded solemnly: "I admit that if we have a child in common, he (she) will become the bond between you and me to deepen our relationship, and at the same time, it will also be the crystallization of our love." This will make our family more welcoming and perfect. But—"
Chen Xuewu pondered for a moment before continuing: "If you have a second child, it will bring a burden to your life and happiness, then I would rather you give up having a second child." ”
Qi Shunmin was stunned for a moment, and then said angrily: "Brother, you are so cunning, with such a very subtle sentence, you kicked the ball to me." ”
Chen Xuewu hurriedly shook his head: "I don't want to put pressure on the baby, just to take into account the baby's feelings." ”
Qi Shunmin questioned: "Do you really care about my feelings? ”
Chen Xuewu nodded firmly: "Yes." ”
Qi Shunmin lowered his head at this time, and his heart was entangled for a while before he opened his mouth and whispered: "Husband, I know that you have always taken care of me like a child." I also don't want to grow up myself. However, my actual age is over forty after all, and this is a practical question. I really don't know if my body can still allow me to have a second child. Besides, in terms of economics, although I have a stable career, Juanzi is about to take the college entrance examination. When she goes to college in the future, she will also need me, a mother, to bear a lot of financial obligations. I'm afraid my salary is not enough to support a college student. If I do have a baby, how much pressure will it be on me? What the fourth brother-in-law said at noon today is quite reasonable. ”
"Baby..."
"Husband, please listen to me." Qi Shunmin interrupted in understanding, "There is another big obstacle, that is, my mother's family is currently rejecting you. In such a situation, if I were to get pregnant, I would be strongly opposed by all of them. I can't figure it out... I'm afraid the congregation will betray their relatives..."
When Qi Shunmin's words came to this, he couldn't help but sob.
Seeing this, Chen Xuewu hurriedly got up and found a box of tissues, and took out one to wipe his wife's tears in person.
Qi Shunmin stretched out his arms to hug Chen Xuewu's waist, and pressed his pretty face tightly against him. At this time, she recalled that when she resolutely chose to marry Chen Xuewu despite the resistance, she was criticized by her family, and she couldn't help but be grieved.
Chen Xuewu also had mixed feelings in his heart. He could feel the physical and mental pressure on his wife, and at this time he secretly hated himself for not being angry, almost nothing in his career, and unable to give her material security.
He gently patted her on the shoulder and softly advised, "Don't be sad, baby. Now what can dispel your mother's family's perception is that we must live happily. As for the fact that you have a second child, don't take it to heart. ”
"But... If I can't have a baby for you, you'll be sad..." Qi Shunmin still sobbed quietly.
Chen Xuewu smiled indifferently: "Baby, think too much, right?" I just said that if there is a love crystallization between us, we will feel very happy and perfect. However, there are many families in the world that are intact. They don't necessarily feel happy and perfect. Therefore, we might as well keep this little bit of regret and make up for it with more love for each other. In fact, as long as our feelings really want to be sublimated to a supreme realm, the so-called emotional bond will not matter. ”
"Husband, do you really think so?" Qi Shunmin craned his neck and questioned with wide eyes.
Chen Xuewu leaned over affectionately and gently kissed her forehead: "Baby, your happy smile is the most important thing I pursue." ”
Qi Shunmin was stunned for a moment, and then then stabbed into his arms emotionally.
Chen Xuewu hugged her gently, but his heart was mixed. But his mood was mostly melancholy, as if he were in hellish darkness, and those cheerfulness and ease were only like a flash of inspiration. His optimism is only because of the existence of certain dreams, both a hesitation and an unforgivable free and easy, so he always ripples between calm and surging mood, and there is no time to settle. Therefore, the mood lacks a simple happiness, only an inexplicable melancholy,
Just when he gave up the idea of having a child, but the two-child policy made other families eager to try-
The next day, accompanied by her husband, Qi Shunmei came to the obstetrics and gynecology department of the city hospital early. Of course, they came to the self-evident purpose - to take off the ring.
Although they came early, there were people who came earlier than them, and they all looked like they had come to pick up the ring. Perhaps, the two-child policy stimulated not only them, but also many people who heard the news. After they registered, they could only sit outside the clinic and wait.
Qi Shunmei felt a little nervous at this time, after all, she also had to suffer a little bit of 'broken melon' when picking up the ring. She couldn't help hugging her husband Tan Lijun's arm tightly.
However, before it was her turn to see a doctor, another middle-aged couple walked into the waiting hall with crisp footsteps.
Qi Shunmei and Tan Lijun looked up at the footsteps, and couldn't help but be stunned: "Big brother, sister-in-law?" ”
The people who came were Qi Shunjun and Liu Yongmei. When they found out that the third sister and the third brother-in-law also appeared here, they couldn't help but be a little shy, but they couldn't avoid it, so they came over hard.
"Third sister, why are you here? Is there something wrong with you? Liu Yongmei asked first.
Qi Shunmei was not embarrassed to answer first, but asked rhetorically: "Sister-in-law, why are you here?" Isn't your jade body expensive? ”
Liu Yongmei's face turned red, and she couldn't help but say with disgust: "Don't be poor with a stinky girl." If you don't tell me, I can guess why you're here. ”
Qi Shunmei smiled: "I also guessed why my sister-in-law came." Let's talk together, how? ”
Liu Yongmei regained her calmness, and said happily: "That's good." ”
They both pointed at each other at the same time and said in unison, "Take off the ring!" ”
Immediately, all four of them let out hearty laughter.
Tan Lijun teased Qi Shunjun on the side at this time: "Big brother, you and I both have a 'military' character at the end of our names, and their names should all happen to have a 'Mei' character." It seems that the two of us really have a good heart. Haha..."
The other three laughed in agreement.
Liu Yongmei also immediately teased: "The two of us are really like having a discussion." It's a pity that our fourth sister didn't come. Otherwise, our old Qi family will really want people to prosper next year. ”
Qi Shunmei winked mischievously: "That's easy to say." I'll call the fourth sister right now and ask her to come over and have a good time! ”
