Protagonist:

Li Xiulan

Because Wang Changgen insisted on coming to see the baby tomorrow, and his attitude was extremely firm, wanting to interfere in all sorts of child-rearing matters, this made Wang Dashan feel his heart was very tired, very depressed.

This old thing hasn't even figured out his own life, what does he know about raising a child?

However, Wang Dashan isn't as decisive and ruthless as Wang Xiaohua.

No matter how much Wang Changgen kicks his nose in his face, he chooses to endure it, not directly snapping back.

If it were Wang Xiaohua, she definitely wouldn't give him such a good face.

Because of this matter, Wang Dashan was in a bad mood all day.

Work was done without any enthusiasm.

The main thing is he didn't know how to explain this matter to Du Xiaojuan.

If Du Xiaojuan found out his biological father had this attitude, it would likely stir up quite a few conflicts.

He finally managed to endure until off-duty time.

Wang Dashan drove to the postpartum center.

In the end, he still chose to be frank with Du Xiaojuan:

"I called home this morning, said you gave birth to a boy, my dad said he's coming down tomorrow to visit you and the child."

Upon hearing this, Du Xiaojuan immediately frowned:

"Wasn't it agreed they'd come next week?"

Wang Dashan let out a long sigh, his face full of exhaustion:

"I told him, but he wouldn't listen, insisting on coming tomorrow. Sigh, I should've known to call them next week instead. I really am something, knowing full well my dad is stubborn and desperate to hold his grandson, why did I have to call him now?"

Besides being heartsick, Wang Dashan also felt very guilty.

This matter could originally have been handled very well; it was his lack of foresight that led to the current result.

Seeing him like this, Du Xiaojuan instead comforted him:

"If they come tomorrow, they come tomorrow. You host them for a bit, then if they want to go back the same day, send them back the same day; if they want to stay overnight, send them to our villa to stay a night."

Wang Dashan smiled bitterly:

"It's not that simple, just hosting them. Sigh, don't know how to tell you..."

Wang Dashan stopped mid-sentence.

Because he was afraid that if he told the truth, for example Wang Changgen demanding the baby sleep to flatten his head, feeding rice cereal and such, Du Xiaojuan would be unhappy.

Miss Du said:

"You just say it directly, don't forget I'm also a rural person. Whatever ideas your dad and mom have, I won't find strange. We lay the matter out in the open, then deal with it together."

Indeed, Du Xiaojuan's parents are even more outrageous.

So no matter what ideas Wang Changgen and Li Xiulan have, she definitely won't have a big reaction.

After all, the previous generation of rural poor people, more or less all have that kind of relatively backward thinking.

It's not that their ideas are wrong, but the times are different now.

In the past, they were poor, couldn't afford milk powder, the mother had no milk, so the child, just born not long ago, ate rice cereal.

Now economic conditions are so good, the child eats rice cereal right after birth, isn't that making the child suffer hardship unnecessarily?

Even if there's no milk, they can drink milk powder!

Current formula milk, perhaps still can't match the effect of breast milk, but nutritional components and such, are definitely stronger than rice cereal.

As for sleeping to flatten the head, that's because ancient people kept a big handful of long hair, had to coil the hair up and wear a hat, a flat head plus the hair just made a round head, a round head with coiled hair and a hat actually looked clumsy and not good-looking.

Who still keeps long hair like ancient people nowadays?

Naturally, a round head looks more upright, more good-looking.

But Wang Changgen doesn't understand these things, only superstitiously believes that sleeping on a flat head can make one an official and such.

"Xiao Juan, I'm telling you, you must not get angry. No matter what, you can't give my parents a cold face to their face, okay?"

Wang Dashan spoke like this, his eyes carrying pleading.

Du Xiaojuan said:

"Fine, no problem. If I feel they're wrong, I just won't listen to them, no need to give a cold face."

Having obtained Du Xiaojuan's promise, Wang Dashan finally let down his worried heart.

Then he told Du Xiaojuan about his father's pedantic views.

After listening, Du Xiaojuan also didn't know whether to cry or laugh.

But she wasn't too surprised either, just felt everything was within reason.

Because Wang Changgen's views on raising children probably don't differ much from her parents' views.

Du Xiaojuan said with a smile:

"What's such a big deal? Look at the state you've worked yourself into, all flustered."

Wang Dashan smiled bitterly:

"The problem lies precisely in these small things. My parents might not yield, especially my dad, he's very stubborn, easy to stir up conflicts!"

Du Xiaojuan said:

"He says to feed the child rice cereal, we just say we'll feed in two days. He says to sleep on a flat head, we just say we'll try to sleep that way. Whatever he says, just agree to it. Why go refute him? Anyway, he can only stay a few days before he has to go back to the rural hometown. Once he leaves, we do whatever we should do. Could he possibly reach his hand out to stop us?"

Wang Dashan was stunned.

Du Xiaojuan's words instantly made him see the light.

Yeah, why bother agonizing over these things?

It's not like we have to live together permanently!

Only if you live together permanently do you need to solve these problems.

If you don't live together permanently, just agree to it directly; once he leaves, you do whatever you should do!

No need to make things unpleasant just because of differing opinions!

However, Wang Dashan also had worries:

"What if he finds out later that we didn't do as he said, and then gets angry? What do we do?"

Du Xiaojuan said:

"We'll talk about future matters in the future. Once we have kids, we'll probably go back to your hometown even less — at most two or three times a year. Even if he gets angry, it won't have too much impact on our lives."

Speaking up to here, Du Xiaojuan changed her tone:

"But this still depends on your attitude. If you unconditionally side with your parents and think what I'm doing is wrong, then this conflict will be hard to reconcile. Even if it ends in divorce then, I won't be surprised."

Wang Dashan hurriedly said:

"Rest assured, I could never divorce you! You're such a good woman; if I divorced you, my brains would have turned to water!"

And at this time, on the other side.

Shangou Village.

When night fell, Li Xiulan returned from the farm.

Working at the farm these days, she felt she had regained the vitality of her youth.

Most importantly, at the farm she could chat with Zhang Zhongtian's widow Yao Aina; the two elderly women chatted while working, and that was quite enjoyable too.

Not having to face Wang Zhanggen that old man at home, she felt pretty good.

Just as she got home, Wang Zhanggen told Li Xiulan about Du Xiaojuan giving birth.

Li Xiulan's reaction was quite flat.

Because deep down she was actually afraid Du Xiaojuan would ask her to go down and raise the child.

She had raised three children in this life, exhausted half to death; she really didn't want to raise children anymore.

This isn't a matter of loving the grandson or not; only those who've experienced it know how bitter and tiring raising children is.

So when Wang Zhanggen said angrily that he wanted to go see the child tomorrow, but Wang Dashan wasn't too willing.

Li Xiulan just said coldly in one sentence:

"Xiao Juan wants to rest a bit longer; let's go next week then! Why are you in such a rush, afraid your grandson will run away?"

Wang Zhanggen kept a straight face:

"I just want to see our grandson sooner; is that wrong!"

Li Xiulan rolled her eyes:

"Your broken leg hasn't even healed yet; aren't you afraid that tossing about on the road will break your freshly mended leg again?"

Most importantly, Du Xiaojuan herself said to come next week, so next week it is; we have to respect Du Xiaojuan's opinion.

Li Xiulan had never been respected by Wang Zhanggen in her whole life; having been rained on, she deeply realized how important respect is to a woman.

"Pah pah pah!" Wang Zhanggen said angrily: "Why are you saying such unlucky things! Isn't it that you're there beside me supporting me all the way; how could I possibly break my leg again?"

Li Xiulan became unhappy:

"So you treat me as your human crutch, huh? Don't I get tired? If you want to go, go yourself! Anyway, I'm not going tomorrow!"
