On the day Ye Erliang got married, the weather was surprisingly bad; And the day I got married, the weather was surprisingly sunny. Mother always said that the day Ye Erliang got married was bitter for Ye Er, because the rain that had been falling all day brought great inconvenience to everyone. A few days after the wedding, we enjoyed a rare vacation, although we had lived together before the marriage, but some things are really amazing, just because of this wedding ceremony, now we feel so different together and before the marriage.

The house was freshly painted, the furniture was freshly made, everything on the bed was new, and the clothes we were wearing were new。。。。。。 Everything is new, the air is full of new smells, as if everything has never come, the two of us are a blank paper, white and clean white paper, for the rest of our lives, the years of marriage will continue to be smeared on this blank paper, what a brilliant and gorgeous picture it will be! Ye Er and I are the authors of this painting, and together we will pick up the brush of marriage and sketch and color our future one by one.

Ye'er has been pregnant for two or three months, and her body shape has begun to change, she can only stay at home every day, and she can't go out to find a job, and Ye'er will help her mother do some simple housework when needed. We still lived with my parents after we got married, at that time my older brother and sister had already married, one younger brother did not have a family, my grandfather was about 80 years old at that time, he was in good health, four generations in the same house, the life of a large family was really not easy, just three meals a day made my mother very busy. Ye'er is always very sensible to help her mother take care of the family's three meals a day. Mother always refuses to ask Ye'er for help, but Ye'er is sometimes really bored at home alone, unlike now there are mobile phones, computers and other electronic products that can be used for recreation, the only thing that can be used for recreation at home is a very small 14-inch black-and-white TV. I still vividly remember that at that time, two episodes of the popular TV series called "Pekingese in New York" would be broadcast on time every night, and there was a line "Generally seawater, half of it is fire", and I don't know if it was from this TV series.

Every day when I was about to get off work, Ye'er would always walk to the intersection in advance, wait for me to get off work, and then go home for dinner together. If one day I didn't go home directly after work, but went to the street to buy some fruits, pastries and the like and then went home, Ye'er was always very anxious, and after seeing me, she always blamed me for not telling her in advance, which made her feel very anxious and worried.

We carefully smeared the color of our own happiness on the canvas of our marriage, life is really beautiful, happiness comes so suddenly, falling in love with Ye'er is very sudden, Ye'er's pregnancy is very sudden, even if I marry Ye'er, Ye'er's mother changed her attention so suddenly, and agreed, love, her own providence.

Regarding Ye'er's pregnancy, my mother said to me behind my back, hoping that I would go to the hospital to find an acquaintance, check it, and see if it was a boy, and if it was a girl, it would be miscarried, until it was a boy and then decided to give birth. Mother's ridiculous decision was rejected by me at that time, the baby in Ye'er's belly is the best gift God gave me and Ye'er, whether it is a boy or a girl, Ye'er and I must cherish and protect it, we will definitely give birth to the baby, and we will take good care of our baby in the future to grow up.

However, perhaps my tone was a little hardened against my mother's rejection, and she didn't get happy for a few days. My mother is not like Ye'er's mother, my mother belongs to the kind of gentle, virtuous and hard-working type, no matter what happens, she is always alone in bearing, and she never yells, let alone scolds us, and the character of our brothers is also very similar to my mother, belonging to the kind of gentle type of person who can't be bad. And Ye'er's mother is also hard-working, but it is reflected in Ye'er's mother is more domineering, yelling, short-tempered, always scolding the child loudly, her will is your will, you must obey unconditionally, as long as she comes home from the small fishing boat, the home must be a frightening day for chickens and dogs, that is, the cats raised at home as long as they see her go home, they have slipped away early.

I didn't tell Ye'er about this, there is actually a reason why my mother has this thought, and I can't blame my mother for everything.

Thousands of years of agrarian civilization have been deeply imprinted in the minds of my parents' generation. In the fields, competing for land and water, harvesting grain and drying grain, which one does not need a man to bear? Home life, carrying water and chopping wood, continuing incense, which one does not need a man to complete? The girl is just a foreign daughter in the future, how can she take on such a heavy responsibility?! I deeply understand the thinking of my parents' generation, but now that the agrarian society is rapidly changing from an agrarian society to an industrial civilized society, the birth of boys and girls has lost their original value as a social labor force for our generation, but my parents' generation cannot be able to change it all at once.

My brother wanted a boy, so he gave birth to four girls in a row, and in order to avoid the family planning check, he has not returned home until now. However, my brother doesn't plan to have another child, they accept their fate, the main reason is not that they accept their fate, but if they continue to give birth, I am afraid that they will not be able to support the child. Therefore, my parents pinned their hopes on me and Ye'er, and I deeply understood their hardships.

However, it was impossible for Ye'er and I to give birth one by one until we were born to a boy, because I had my official job, and at that time, the punishment for violating the basic national policy of family planning was quite severe.

At that time, there was a popular saying, "The rich buy the living, and the rich steal the living." "If you violate a situation like mine, you will definitely be expelled from public office. I don't blame my mother for thinking at the time, in order not to be fired from public office, the only way for us to go to the hospital to find someone to do a gender test, and then artificially decide whether to have a boy or a girl ourselves, which is not what Ye'er and I want to see.

Ye'er and I had already decided when we first learned the news of pregnancy, whether it was a boy or a girl, we would not ask someone to do gender identification, let alone artificially decide whether to have a boy or a girl, this is God's gift to us, whether it is a boy or a girl, we will gladly accept it.

My mother is not Ye'er's mother. My mother sighed when she saw that I had made up her mind, then folded her hands and prayed incessantly, praying that God would give us a boy.
