Protagonist:
Li Xiulan
County Town Maternal and Child Health Hospital.
A BMW drove in here.
Du Xiaojuan, Wang Dashan, Wang Xiaohua, and Li Xiulan holding Wang Dujin got out of the car together.
Du Xiaojuan took out big bags and small bags of gifts from the trunk.
Then she said to Wang Xiaohua:
"Xiao Hua, you carry these two bags!"
Wang Xiaohua hurriedly said:
"Thank you, Eldest Sister-in-law!"
Wang Dashan was displeased:
"Third Brother, have you read yourself stupid? She asked you to help carry things, she should be thanking you, how come you're thanking her instead?"
Wang Xiaohua then said:
"Eldest Sister-in-law's meaning is, these two bags of gifts are for me to give to Second Sister-in-law, this favor counts on me, so of course I have to thank her!"
Du Xiaojuan looked at Wang Dashan with a face full of disdain:
"Look at you, then look at your Third Brother, just this comprehension! Ten thousand eight thousand miles behind your Third Brother! Learn a bit from your Third Brother!"
Wang Dashan was depressed:
"No, if you don't say it how would I know? We're all one family, would it kill you to speak plainly?"
Du Xiaojuan rolled her eyes, not wanting to bicker with him, shoved two bags of gifts into his hands:
"You carry these two bags! Can't be bothered to waste saliva on you!"
Wang Dashan said with sarcasm:
"Then I should thank you too, huh!"
Du Xiaojuan was rendered speechless by Wang Dashan.
Wang Xiaohua hurried over to smooth things over:
"Big Brother, Eldest Sister-in-law, you two flirting like this really makes people envious!"
Du Xiaojuan couldn't help laughing, no longer bothering to argue with Wang Dashan, turned to Wang Xiaohua and said:
"Then you hurry up and win over Zhang Ruoshui, then you can flirt too!"
Several people arrived together at Zhang Yueran's delivery room, Du Xiaojuan immediately sent the big bags and small bags of gifts up.
Wang Xiaohua and Wang Dashan also sent gifts up.
Zhang Dehou and Ji Xiaolan looked, both were overwhelmed by the favor.
"We're all one family, why so polite!" Ji Xiaolan said this with her mouth, but her face was beaming.
Zhang Yueran then said: "Eldest Sister-in-law, you bring gifts every time you come, too distant! I'm embarrassed to accept them all!"
Du Xiaojuan laughed and said:
"I'm happy today, I just like giving gifts, little sister-in-law, don't be distant, these are all my sincere intentions! Let me go see the little treasure! Can I hold her?"
"Of course, Eldest Sister-in-law! The child is right over there!"
After getting Zhang Yueran's permission, Du Xiaojuan went to pick up the baby girl, looking at the baby girl with a smile:
"This little treasure, so cute, looks like you, little sister-in-law! These eyes, simply cast from the same mold!"
Wang Dashan glanced, thought to himself, aren't all newborn babies like that? Where does it show she looks like Zhang Yueran?
Anyway he couldn't tell, not only couldn't tell she looked like Zhang Yueran, also couldn't tell she looked like his Second Brother Wang Erhai.
Fortunately he didn't say these words out loud.
Although his brain isn't much, he still has that little bit.
Wang Dashan only asked:
"Have you named the child? Do you need Third Brother to help pick a name?"
Wang Erhai smiled and replied:
"Already named, called Wang Ke'ai!"
"Ke'ai (Cute)?" Du Xiaojuan laughed, "Then the person lives up to the name, the little treasure is truly adorable!"
Wang Erhai then said:
"Eldest Sister-in-law, not that Ke'ai, just homophone, Ai is the Ai from Ai grass, my wife said, there's a great poet called Ai Qing!"
Du Xiaojuan then praised:
"Then little sister-in-law's chosen name, not only sounds good, but also has depth! In the future when the child grows up, she might just become a female poet!"
Wang Dashan chimed in at this moment:
"These days, female poets aren't the thing."
He originally wanted to say being a poet, one would probably starve to death.
But still held back a bit, said it more tactfully.
Du Xiaojuan glared at him, then smiled at Zhang Yueran and said:
"In my view, not a poet, that would be a female star, this baby's features look distinctive, look at these big eyes, even double eyelids, when she grows up she'll absolutely be a great beauty!"
Zhang Yueran knew Du Xiaojuan specially picked nice words to say, but listening still felt comfortable.
With an eldest sister-in-law like this, she felt quite fortunate.
The group chatted in the ward for a good while, and before they knew it, it was noon; Wang Erhai took everyone out to eat.
As for the ward, Ji Xiaolan was left to take care of Zhang Yueran.
Zhang Dehou also went along to eat.
Arriving at the restaurant, Zhang Dehou still wanted to drink a couple of cups.
After all, today was a day worth celebrating.
Wang Dashan and Wang Xiaohua accompanied him in drinking.
As for Wang Erhai, he might still need to drive, so he didn't drink.
Zhang Dehou didn't insist either; his attitude counted as relatively open-minded, and he wouldn't forcibly pressure the younger generation to drink.
After a few cups, Zhang Dehou got a bit tipsy, and suddenly asked Wang Erhai:
"Erhai, tell me honestly, do you want a son?"
Wang Erhai was stunned for a moment, thought for a bit, then answered truthfully:
"Dad, a daughter is fine too; Yueran just gave birth, let's not bring up those things!"
Wang Erhai thought that since Zhang Dehou himself only had an only daughter, he surely didn't favor sons over daughters, and was even opposed to favoring sons over daughters, so this answer could be said to be flawless.
However, Zhang Dehou waved his hand:
"Listen to me; later, persuade Yueran, while she's still young, to try for a son! There are no outsiders here, so I won't say polite words; I'll speak the honest truth: this life, having a son or not is indeed different; with a son there's more of a future! Without a son, there's not much of a future, and not much motivation to strive!"
When Zhang Dehou's words came out, everyone at the table showed a trace of surprise.
Unexpectedly, Zhang Dehou actually had this kind of thinking.
But thinking it over carefully, one knows these words are all from the bottom of his heart.
He followed Niu Chunsheng early on, but has only ever been a driver, only ever done his proper duty, and never seized the opportunity to get close to Niu Chunsheng to take a gamble and make his wealth rise another level.
A large part of the reason is probably because he has no son.
A daughter will marry off sooner or later, so the family wealth just needs to be enough; there's really no need to fuss pointlessly.
Wang Erhai didn't know what to say for a moment.
Wang Dashan hurriedly offered a toast:
"Uncle, you're absolutely right; with a son there's a future; later let my second brother and his wife try for a second child! Come, I'll toast you!"
Zhang Dehou downed a cup, then said to Wang Erhai:
"Erhai, don't blame me, this father-in-law, for nagging; this is for your and Yueran's own good; if Yueran doesn't want to give birth, then you have to do her ideological work! Otherwise when you're old, like me, you'll want to but have no chance!"
Wang Erhai hurriedly nodded politely:
"Okay okay, Dad you're right; later I'll discuss it properly with Yueran."
Zhang Dehou obviously still didn't know that actually it wasn't that Zhang Yueran didn't want to give birth, but that Wang Erhai didn't want to.
From the bottom of his heart, Wang Erhai felt that one was really enough; more would be too troublesome, and even the private space between husband and wife would be squeezed out!
Besides, he was busy with work, and Zhang Yueran also had her own job; raising one child was hard enough, let alone two!
