Chapter 23 on adoption
"Don't worry, my son knows!"
The two brothers patted their chests and assured that their eyes were shining, and they were obviously restless.
Their brothers are older and know what it is good to please the grandmother above, as long as they have the support of the two elders, the family wealth of the fourth uncle may not belong to one of their brothers in the future.
Only when the fourth is Noble because he is too young and cares about playing, he will still be very ignorant.
"Mother, is the workshop fun? I want to go too! β
Children are naΓ―ve.
Miao couldn't bear to refuse.
But her youngest son is not ordinary naughty, and when she brought him over, nothing was done but she made a fuss, which was not her original intention.
"What's so fun about the workshop? Go home, I'll ask your sister-in-law to give you steamed and fragrant slippery egg custard to eat, okay? β
Miao gave his daughter-in-law a look.
Zhou was busy handing over the son he was holding to her husband.
Virtuously took the little uncle's little hand, "Dongli still has a few pieces of sugar crisp that I haven't finished eating, it's fragrant and crispy, go back and my sister-in-law will steam the egg custard for you, and Noble will also eat a piece of sugar crisp, okay?" β
Noble is naughty.
But he's more greedy.
There is egg custard to eat, and there is crispy and fragrant sugar crisp, how can you still care?
Hurriedly dragged Zhou back, it is estimated that he will not even forget his mother's surname.
Shi Laifu hugged his son and followed.
The third room is also in the West Village.
It is next to the head of the West Village, and there are only a few rooms separated from Shi Yuanjue's house.
Walking home quickly, Zhou really steamed egg custard for his brother-in-law.
He also took a piece of the sugar crisp that his son ate.
Shi Laibao has a delicious temperament and is stable, holding a bowl and sitting on the threshold under the eaves, eating tender egg custard in small bites, not to mention how much he enjoys it.
Zhou coaxed the little brother-in-law, and then went to pick up the son Shi Dongli who was holding in her husband's hand.
Shi Laifu hurried down to the field, to spring ploughing, the second and third were called to the workshop by the Miao family, as the eldest of the family, he could not go to the field to work, he stayed at home to hide.
Just as he was about to take the farm tools to the field, Zhou gave him a look, "Come with me to the room." β
"What's the matter? Still mysterious? β
Shi Laifu muttered, but still followed Zhou into the room.
Zhou entered the house and put his son on the kang, gave him a piece of sugar crisp and ate sugar in peace, saw her husband enter the door, hurriedly closed the door, and secretly glanced at the half-open window, the little uncle was quietly eating egg custard at this time~
She breathed a sigh of relief and whispered, "Brother Fu, can you think of ideas to make my mother change her mind?" β
Shi Laifu touched his head, "Change your mind?" What do you want to change? β
Zhou glanced at her husband with disgust, "Four rooms! The fourth uncle and the fourth aunt have been married for many years and can't even give birth to a handle, so the fourth aunt is also in her thirties, right? It is rumored behind her back that she was born in a Qinglou, and she can't give birth after taking too much medicine, she can't give birth to a male baby for our fourth uncle over the years, and I guess she won't be able to do it in the future! β
"It's just that others spread this kind of gossip, you are a member of our Shi family, how can you say such things?"
Shi Laifu frowned, thought about it and said, "Whether it's true or not, let's not talk about the fourth aunt, when it reaches the ears of the fourth uncle, he has a way to clean up our juniors!" β
"It's you, why do you suddenly have that kind of thought?"
Shi Laifu glanced at his son who was eating candy, "Dongli is my eldest son, the eldest grandson of the third room, even if I am willing to let him pass on to the fourth uncle, my father and mother can't be happy, you still have to put out those thoughts that you shouldn't have!" β
"Hmph, others don't understand me, how can you think of me like this?"
Zhou felt aggrieved, wiped his eyes and sat on the kang, and tears came to him:
"Aren't all these thoughts for our family? Can the current house be opened and wait for Dongli to be bigger? Your mother is also eccentric, the fourth aunt can't give birth to a son, just thinking about the second and third steps, why don't you want to think about our big house? Dongli will still be young, he can squeeze with us, and in a few years, his eldest grandson can't also live in the same room with his parents, right? β
Zhou wept and touched his belly, "You can be ruthless and ignore the big one, I am a mother, and you can't ignore the small one, wait for a few months for me to give birth to the child, what is the matter with a family of four squeezing a room like this?" Besides, did I say that I must have to pass the Dongli succession? β
Shi Laifu was still a little angry, and Zhou had a lot of thoughts in his heart that he shouldn't have.
But this will, the huge surprise directly broke through the meninges:
"What, you're pregnant with ??! again"
Zhou wiped his eyes and said aggrievedly, "The menstrual affair has been more than ten days late, and I have been greedy recently, so I am really pregnant with ......."
"That must be pregnant!"
Shi Laifu happily hugged his wife and turned around, which shocked Zhou, but when he thought that his brother-in-law was outside, he quickly covered his mouth and whispered:
"Hurry up and let me down, don't startle the child, the fetus is unstable in March, you forgot about it before?"
Only then did Shi Laifu remember.
Hurriedly and carefully put his wife down.
Half kneeling in front of Zhou and touching her hand, he also turned the corner, "Mei'er, I blamed you." It's just that whether it's Dongli or the child in your belly, I'm afraid it won't be ......."
Mei'er is the name of Zhou's mother's family.
"Why?" Zhou was puzzled, "The fourth uncle and the fourth aunt lack a son, and in the future, a hundred years later, they will fall into the pot and inherit the incense." The second and third children can, why can't our children succeed? If you're not the eldest in the family, I think you're the most suitable! β
Shi Laifu sighed.
glanced at the son who was still licking the sugar cake happily and said helplessly, "Don't say stupid things, I am the eldest son in the family, this will definitely not work." Come to Bao, why can't you be him? β
He said, "I happened to hear Grandpa and Grandma's conversation before, and the fourth uncle mentioned that the succession is not the same, this is not important, but even if it is to be passed, it cannot be passed by the small one, he has to consider Sister Yu's son!" Sister Yu will also be at an age when she can talk about marriage, and the fourth uncle of the dowry will definitely be indispensable to her, but she can't do without the support of her mother's brother. β
Zhou was even more puzzled, "Our family has a large population, and the big house, two bedrooms and three rooms add up, and Sister Yu has seven or eight brothers who can't support her?" β
"How do I know that? I didn't listen to the fourth uncle himself, but I heard it after Grandpa and Grandma discussed it behind their backs......"
Speaking of this, Shi Laifu lowered his voice, "Don't say it, only our house knows about this matter at present, and the second uncle doesn't know about it yet!" β
"Okay, don't think about these things anymore, the second and third are the same as our son, they are all brothers, and they will be able to treat me as a big brother in the future?"
Shi Laifu can think openly.
He lingered in the house for a while, and then went out into the field.
Only Zhou is still unwilling.
staring at the eldest son, touching the belly that has not yet bulged, the half-squinted eyes are full of thoughts that cannot be hidden, and the appearance of the virtuous and virtuous people on a regular basis is really far from that:
"Look!"
