Chapter 203: Boys
"I'm sorry, Taotao, Dad doesn't know this, Dad thought it was enough to give you a good life, but he didn't pay attention to these details, is it Daddy's, you, can you give Dad a chance to compensate?" Zhou Shu's words were a little pleading.
"Okay." Zhou Tao said softly.
Zhou Shu was a little ecstatic, he was very anxious just now, and he thought that Tao Tao was hurt when he was young, and he felt uncomfortable and guilty.
He thought that a father like him must be unforgivable in Taotao's eyes. However, Tao Tao forgave him!
After Zhou Shu's unbelievable eyes, there was ecstasy, and Zhou Tao looked at that look a little shy. His father was so happy because he forgave him!
"Who does Dad think is important to me compared to business?" Zhou Tao asked awkwardly.
"Naturally, you are important, in my father's heart, you and Rouge are both in the first place, and nothing can compare to you." Zhou Shu hurriedly said.
He was still a little apprehensive in his heart, this kid wouldn't ask him or Rouge who was more important, right? Then he can't answer at all!
Zhou Tao didn't ask this, he wouldn't compare with his sister, his sister was born before him, and his father and sister got along longer, so even if he liked his sister the most, he could understand.
"Actually, there was another reason in the first place. Your mother died, I was not very old, there were many matchmakers who came to the door, hoping that I could marry another lady, I was initially moved, thinking that you are still too young, your sister is not too old, you should find someone to take care of you, but your sister is unwilling. "
Zhou Shui sighed as she spoke, she was so strong, and she had too deep feelings for her mother, she didn't want another strange woman to come to the house, she didn't want to call someone else's mother again.
"The matchmaker came to the door, but she drove her back, she said to take care of you, you don't need anyone else. I agreed, but after all, people are terrible, those matchmakers, as well as some people in the neighborhood, chew the root of their tongues everywhere, saying that your sister is strong and unfilial at a young age, reckless and rude, and so on, although I am angry, but I can't stop those rumors. In desperation, I said to the outside world that I had no intention of marrying a wife because I had a business outside, and marrying someone else would be delayed......"
The gossip can't be stopped, at that time the rouge was still young, if he got such a reputation since he was a child, then how good would it be in the future. So, he just said it to the outside, and he also moved the idea of going outside.
"So, Dad went out to do business, because he was afraid that those people would talk about my sister?" Zhou Tao was a little clear.
What he didn't know, he only knew that he was brought up by his sister since he was a child, but he didn't know that there was such a thing.
"It's not just that, I also had the idea of going outside, but as soon as this happened, I decided because of it. Later, I didn't come back often, firstly, because I confirmed what I said before, but also because I was too busy with business, I was not familiar with life, and I couldn't do without people. Zhou Shu said with a sigh.
Zhou Tao didn't speak, but he faintly regretted it, he was never hurt alone in this matter, his sister was very hard, and his father was not easy.
"Actually, Dad is not trying to justify anything when he tells you this, I just hope that you can feel better, and Dad doesn't mean to leave you."
Zhou Tao didn't feel better, he felt even more guilty, was he a little ignorant just now.
His father felt sorry for him, and he could also appreciate his father's hard work. Then this knot is untied today, and he will get along with his father well in the future, just like he did with his sister.
When Zhou Tao looked at his father again, he felt that the obstacle in his heart was suddenly cleared, and he would no longer think crankily and block his heart.
What the father and son of the Zhou family said, Zhou Yan didn't know, she never noticed that there was any problem between her brother and her father, and she was worried before, afraid that they would be too unfamiliar and would not talk to each other. Later, she found out that Zhou Tao had grown up and was not as reckless and ignorant as before.
Just like this time when Daddy came back, he didn't make noise, nor did he have conflicts with Daddy, and even it was normal for them to talk and talk about things together.
When she really noticed that something was wrong, it was because there was more interaction between her father and Taotao in the past few days. When eating, her father will pick up vegetables for her younger brother, and Zhou Tao's awkward kid will also serve them vegetables.
What's more, sometimes she didn't speak, just watched the father and son talk happily.
Zhou Tao has always wanted to practice martial arts, but he has to go to the school on weekdays, and there is not much time, and there is no suitable person to teach. He's always regretted it.
But in the past few days, Zhou Yan has found that Zhou Tao will get up early every morning and follow her father to walk and box. I will practice for a while when I come back in the evening.
It's not the same as usual. In the past, Zhou Yan felt that her father and younger brother got along normally, because she saw that Ah Sheng and her uncle also got along like this. So, she didn't feel anything wrong.
This comparison can be seen that they just didn't quarrel before, but they weren't intimate. Now, for some reason, they are reconciled!
"Did you and Daddy secretly say something? It feels a little different than before. "
Zhou Tao was reading a book in the house, and Zhou Yan leaned over and asked.
"Well, I had some misunderstandings with my father before, but I talked about it once before, and after the problem was solved, it was naturally reconciled. Is it very different from before? Zhou Tao was a little shy.
He felt that after the estrangement was eliminated, he naturally became closer to his father, not very deliberately, why did he have obvious changes from before?
"yes, obviously. I used to feel like strangers, but now it's a family. Zhou Yan said with a smile.
"Doesn't my sister ask me what the problem is?"
"Don't ask, it's said that it's a misunderstanding, and it's been resolved, that's good, why do you have to ask again, let you think about it, wouldn't it be sad again. It's good to solve it, and our family will be together well in the future. "
"Hmm!"
Zhou Tao nodded seriously, he has also figured it out in the past few days, he was patient with his sister before, so he was afraid that after she got married, he would no longer have anyone to rely on.
But Xiao Dage is right, everyone will leave you, and only yourself will accompany you forever. Therefore, the people who appear around you and care about must cherish and cherish the time together.
It is a happy thing for my sister to get married, because she has found her own happiness, and he needs blessings.
Although he is still a little reluctant now, he is not so scared, probably because, at home, at least his father is by his side. And he will be able to see his sister often in the future.
……
Soon it was the end of the year, and Yang Xu's belly was already very big, but unfortunately, the doctor took the pulse and said that this child was a boy nine times out of ten.
Although, the doctor said that he was not very sure, but he was the most skilled doctor in the town, and nine times out of ten, it was equivalent to saying that this was a boy.
"It's obviously a girl, why did she become a son?" Wang Dayi muttered.
He couldn't figure it out, from the morning sickness reaction at the beginning to the reaction later, it looked like a girl! Why is it that he is about to give birth, but he says that he is a boy?
Yang Xu is almost dying of laughter, she really hasn't seen Brother Dayi look so stunned for a long time, it's a bit funny.
From the moment the doctor said it, Wang Dayi's whole expression was, why did his daughter become a son? What's going on?
Yang Xu couldn't help it, that expression was so funny, she leaned forward and leaned back while holding her stomach and laughing.
"Oh, my good man, you don't dare to laugh like this, be careful that you laugh and cramp, and your stomach hurts."
Where can Wang Dayi take care of any son and daughter now, Su'er is the most important, and it is still very dangerous for her to laugh like this. He looked at her big belly and was frightened.
"Oh, I didn't ask the doctor if I knew it, look at your surprise like this, don't you like boys?" Yang Xu stopped laughing and asked.
Doctors generally don't tell you about boys and girls, because many people are patriarchal, and they are afraid that if they know the gender of the child, something will happen.
Yang Su just asked casually, but the doctor really told them, maybe they were quite familiar, because there seems to be no pregnant woman like her, often go back to see if the child is safe and sound.
Brother Dayi wanted her to take a look, and it would be much more reassuring to see it. She herself is willing, which is equivalent to a modern prenatal examination, although it is not so accurate, but the medical skills of ancient doctors should not be underestimated.
Just because of the number of times he went, the doctor didn't think they were troublesome, but was very enthusiastic, and every time Brother Dayi asked a question, the doctor would answer carefully.
Just like this time, she just asked casually, and the doctor told her, the doctor said it so easily, he must have thought that whether it was a man or a woman, she and Brother Dayi would like it.
"I like it all, but I'm a little surprised, because since she came, it's been so long now, I thought it was a girl, and I was ready in my heart, and suddenly I wasn't a girl anymore, but I couldn't react a little. Don't think about it, I like it all, whether it's a girl or a son, as long as it's me and Su'er's child, I will treat it as a treasure. "
"That's pretty much it." Yang Xu was relieved.
She doesn't want Brother Dayi to dislike boys, in fact, she likes boys more than girls.
"By the way, shouldn't we prepare the clothes again, before, I prepared the clothes of the female doll, but now, I'm afraid I can't use it." Wang Dayi said helplessly.
According to the calculation of the day, Su'er should be born in the first ten days of the first month, and it was very cold at that time, so he prepared cotton wool and soft fabrics early and made a lot of clothes for the child.
Because he never doubted that this would not be a girl, the fabrics he chose were all pink or red, so that the fabric of the girl's clothes, if it was a son, should have to be reprepared.
"No, no, why can't you use it. The child is still young, and the bright colors are more cute! There are also boys who wear red clothes, let alone small dolls. "
Yang Xu didn't know why, but she remembered that she had a good friend before, that is, the child, and they were neighbors. When she went to their house to play, she saw a photo of him when he was a child, wearing a lace skirt and pigtails, super cute!
She doesn't have any fetishes, she just thinks that children should be cute when they are young, and they are a little different from other children, and when they grow up, they will feel that their memories are different.
"Okay, it's all up to you." Wang Dayi said helplessly.
Anyway, the child is small and has no memory, so when this year passes, it will be enough to make some clothes for him again, and it will be too late this year.
"By the way, Yan Yan and Brother Big Tiger are married, I am going to go, you are not allowed to disagree." Yang Xu puffed out his mouth and said.
She is here, Rouge is her best friend, and she treats her as her own sister, she is married, she is going to go no matter what.
"I agree, I'll go with you, I've asked Brother Big Tiger, there aren't many people on the day of marriage, so I'll be with my family, as long as there are not many people, I won't object to you going."
He guessed that Su'er was definitely going. So he asked in advance, Brother Dahu has no relatives in his family, and there are no Zhou families, so there are only four people in the Wang family, plus four people in the Zhou family and three people in Zhou Cun's family.
Therefore, there are not many people, and they are all familiar people, as long as you are careful, there is no problem.
"Okay, baby, my mother will take you out to play! Go see your future godfather and godmother! Yang Xu touched his stomach and said with a smile.
Wang Dayi smiled helplessly, Su'er was suffocated, because there were many people outside, and since three months ago, after his belly became bigger, he didn't worry about Su'er going outside.
There are a lot of people on the street, and there will always be a collision, so it would be a bad thing if there was a case. In addition to taking a donkey cart to the doctor, I only went to the suburbs twice.
The doctor said that you can't lie down all the time, you have to walk around and move more. Fortunately, their yard is quite large, and Su'er has been walking around the yard, but after staying in the yard for a few months, she must have been suffocated.
Yang Xu was really suffocated, and he stayed at home all the time, and occasionally only took a donkey cart to go to Rouge's place, or went to his aunt's house to sit. She hasn't been to any other place, and she's tired of seeing several places.
On the day of the Chinese New Year, the family is actually very lively, and every year during the New Year, Yang Xu's family spends it with the Zhang family father and son. Her uncle and aunt are also a family, so they didn't have a lively life. There are quite a lot of them, there are only two people in the Zhang family, father and son, and they are Yang Xu's father-in-law and eldest brother, so they naturally celebrate the New Year together.
Last year's Chinese New Year was still cooked by Yang Xu, and they ate hot pot together. This year, the four of them, including Tianbao, regarded Yang Xu as a porcelain doll.
I didn't let Yang Xu do it during the whole process, but I still added two hot pots, and some dishes, all of which were made by Shopkeeper Zhang and Wang Dayi, Shopkeeper Zhang was originally very good at cooking, and Wang Dayi has now exercised it, and his cooking is also very standard.
Brother Zhang and Tianbao started to wash the vegetables or something, and a few men were busy working together, but it was also very fast, and it looked good, anyway, Yang Xu thought it was very good, and he was comforted.
She is now a group pet, and when the child in her belly is born, and so many people spoil him, he will definitely be happy.
