Chapter 36. About the children

After staying overnight, Ren's mother held a mat and a thin blanket and prepared a room for them.

Ren Shaochen chatted with Ren's father in the yard, and Ruoning followed Ren's mother to clean up the bed.

After the bed was made, Ren's mother turned around and went out to find a pillow, Ruoning saw that there was something on top of the cabinet, as if it was a pillow, so she got up and opened it.

Sure enough, there were two pillows stacked on top of each other, and she grabbed the pillows with her feet, and then brought out a lot of bits and pieces, which fell to the ground with a bang.

She put down the pillow and looked down to pick it up, it was some old children's clothes, a small tiger hat, a small padded jacket, and open crotch pants.

"Oh, look at my memory, the pillow is in your room." Ren's mother patted her forehead, walked in with a smile, and when she saw what Ruo Ning was doing, she smiled at her and said, "That's Shaochen's clothes." ”

Ruo Ning picked up all the things, and put her mother on the bed, like a few family treasures: "This little padded jacket was specially bought by his father when he went into the city, and Shaochen wore it when he held the first birthday banquet......

Ruo Ning quietly listened to Ren Mother's chatter, rested her hands on those small clothes, and looked down, she couldn't help but imagine that Ren Shaochen, who was still a baby, should be a tiger-headed and very energetic child.

"Don't look at Shaochen is so mature and stable now, when he was a child, he would be clingy, he would cry if he didn't hug him for a while, and his father always carried him to the field." Ren's mother has a smile on her face, and the corners of her eyes are full of laugh lines, and all the lines seem to tell happiness and relief.

"I really didn't see him as a crybaby." Ruoning was infected by Ren's mother, and she also smiled, and put Ren Shaochen's baby shoes in the palm of her hand, which were small, less than half a palm, and made people's hearts soft.

"It's a pity that I was poor at that time, so I didn't leave a photo." Ren's mother sighed regretfully, suddenly remembered something, got up and said to Ruo Ning: "Wait, there seems to be a photo." ”

Ren's mother walked quickly back to her room, tossed for a while, and hurried back again, holding a yellowed photo, still black and white.

"I remember that the village chief's family just bought a camera at that time and gave it to Shaochen for a test shot." Ren's mother handed the photo to Ruo Ning to see.

Ruo Ning was stunned at first, the child in the photo combed two small braids, wore big flowers on his head, and there was a big dot between his eyebrows. Although it is a black and white photo, Ruo Ning can also see that the child in the photo should be wearing lipstick, and the point in the center of the eyebrows is also lipstick.

"At that time, the daughter of the village chief's family had to dress up Shaochen, and said that he was handsome, and it was a pity not to be a girl." Ren's mother smiled, and also felt that the photo was ridiculous, and explained to Ruoning.

Ruo Ning caressed Ren Shaochen, who was dressed as a little girl in the photo, and the smile on the corner of his mouth increased. It turns out that someone as cool as he looks will also have such times when he was wronged when he was a child.

Seeing Ruo Ning smiling happily, Ren Ma casually said to Ruo Ning: "Now the conditions are better than before, if you and Shaochen have a baby, you can take more photos, and you can often take them out to see when you are old." ”

Ruo Ning's smile froze, the child's problem was her dead end, and she was always easy to recall those unpleasant things. In fact, she always knew that Ren's parents liked children very much, and they were anxious to hold their grandchildren, but she didn't urge them to give birth.

Such in-laws, Ruo Ning can't bear to hurt at all.

"Ah Ning?" Ren's mother saw that she was distracted, so she called her.

Ruo Ning reluctantly hooked her lips and responded, "I'll listen." ”

"I heard Xiaoyong's daughter-in-law next door say that girls are born too late, and it is difficult to recover after giving birth." Ren's mother held Ruoning's hand, patted it lightly, and said, "Mom knows that you two have ideas, but you have also been married for five years, and it is not bad to have a child at this time. ”

This is the first time Ruo Ning has heard the words of wanting a grandson from Ren's mother's mouth, she raised her eyes and saw that Ren's mother's sideburns were already gray, and there were already a lot of lines on her face when she was not smiling, and she felt guilty in her heart. She understands that the older the old man gets, the more he wants to hug his grandson.

But not to mention that she and Ren Shaochen divorced, even if she didn't leave, she didn't conceive a baby after working hard for so long, although various examinations showed that she had no physical problems, but pregnancy also depends on chance and luck. She once thought about whether she and Ren Shaochen would be destined after all, so they would have no children, and even the first child was not saved.

"Ah Ning, mom didn't urge you." Ren's mother clenched Ruoning's hand, and seeing that she seemed to have a bad face, she said: "The child's business is always your own decision, and Mom just said it casually." ”

"Mom, Shaochen and I are actually ......" Ruo Ning took a deep breath, wanting to be honest, but finally couldn't say anything in the face of Ren's mother's earnest gaze.

Suddenly there was a voice downstairs, Ren's mother got up and looked down from the window, then turned her head to Ruo Ning and said, "It's the ginger rice soup of the child of the Xiaoyong family next door who is full moon, let's go down." ”

When children are full moon, it is their custom to invite relatives and friends to drink ginger rice soup.

Ruo Ning followed Ren's mother downstairs, there were already four bowls of ginger rice soup on the table, Xiao Yong smiled and hugged the big pot, and said to Ren Shaochen directly: "When will we also drink your ginger rice soup." ”

"Soon, soon, soon." Dad Ren smiled.

"Then I'll wait." Xiao Yong smiled and walked out the door, saying that he was going to distribute ginger rice soup to other families.

Seeing that Xiao Yong was gone, Ren's father said to Ren Shaochen: "You have to come on, Xiao Yong is already a second child." ”

"Okay, I'll work hard to get you and your mother to hold your grandson as soon as possible." Ren Shaochen replied helplessly.

When Ruo Ning heard this, she frowned and looked at Ren Shaochen.

And Ren's father and mother were full of joy when they heard this.

"You said this, don't make us two old empty happy." Ren's father drank a little wine, his mood was a little high, and he smiled very heartily.

Ren Shaochen turned his face sideways, looked at Ruoning, his eyes narrowed slightly, and said, "They don't believe what I said, so you can say it." ”

Ruo Ning stretched out her hand and pinched him secretly, looking at him sideways. She didn't understand what Ren Shaochen meant by this, they were both divorced, if she answered this, it would be obvious that the two old men would be overjoyed.

Ren Shaochen looked at her without changing his face, and the two elders also looked at her expectantly.

Ruo Ning was under this eager expectant gaze, his scalp was numb, and he could only nod his head.

"Good boy." Ren's mother stroked her head happily.

Ren's father was happy and got another glass of wine.

Ren Shaochen stood aside, with a vague smile on the corner of his mouth, and his eyes looked at Qu Ruoning softly because of the moonlight.

Qu Ruoning smiled a little reluctantly, no matter how she thought about it, she felt that she was being calculated by Ren Shaochen again.
