Xie Rongzhao came to greet Mrs. Cheng with her child in her arms, and Mrs. Liu happened to be there with her daughter.
When Xie Rongzhao saw his mother-in-law holding Xiao Yueyue, he deliberately became jealous and said: "Oh, our little Tuantuan has fallen out of favor. Ever since we had little Yueyue, grandma no longer hugs us!"
Xiao Tuantuan is only seven months old, how can he understand this?
However, when he saw Mrs. Cheng, he still stretched out his hand with bright eyes, obviously wanting his grandmother to hug her.
Mrs. Cheng glared at Xie Rongzhao: "You bastard, are you afraid that we won't cry together?"
Mrs. Cheng put Yueyue aside, let her lie down and play, and then hugged Tuantuan over.
As soon as Tuantuan entered her arms, he kicked twice, then put his little hands around her neck, and looked at her lying sister. He was babbling, but he didn't know what he was talking about.
Mrs. Cheng hugged the two children for a while, then placed the two children side by side on the couch and let them play by themselves.
Tuantuan was not happy to lie down, so he turned over and sat up. Then he held the rattle in his hand and started shaking it towards Yueyue.
Xiao Yueyue was still young and could only roll over but not sit up, so she quickly lay down and stretched out one hand towards the rattle, but she couldn't reach it.
Watching the two little dolls get along like this, adults all find it very eye-catching.
Mrs. Cheng smiled and said, "What a pity, these are cousins. Otherwise, I would definitely have to find a daughter-in-law for us all."
Ms. Liu smiled and said, "Tuan Tuan hasn't left yet, so you are anxious to find her a wife?"
Xie Rongzhao raised his eyebrows and said, "My brothers and sisters don't understand. My mother is in a hurry to hug her great-grandson."
The two sisters laughed several times, while Mrs. Cheng laughed and scolded: "After giving birth to a child, you will become a monkey!"
A few people were chatting and laughing here, and a servant came over and said that Mrs. Xie was visiting.
Xie Rongzhao and Mrs. Cheng looked at each other, and Mrs. Cheng did not restrain her, "Please come in and sit down first, and I will talk to you later."
"Yes, mother."
Liu Ruolan came here for a happy event.
"I came here to ask for some old clothes from Guabao. Old shoes are also fine."
They were all people who had been here before. Mrs. Cheng understood immediately when she heard it: "But Rong Lang's wife is happy?"
Liu Ruolan smiled happily: "That's right! This child is also careless. If I hadn't seen something wrong with her yesterday and asked a doctor to see her, she still wouldn't know that she was going to be a mother."
Mrs. Cheng was also happy for her: "As a young man, you have no experience, so you have to react quickly."
Liu Ruolan picked up Yueyue. This child was well-raised, white and fat, and had a pair of dark eyes. She was so beautiful.
"I'm thinking about finding some more old clothes, so that Ronglang's wife can get some credit. I don't have to let her have a son. It's just a custom in the capital, so let's follow this. I'm happy to have a son. A son is naturally the best, and we don’t mind having a daughter. She is still young and will live long in the future.”
"That's right!"
Mrs. Cheng was originally worried that Liu Ruolan would put pressure on Xie Ronlang and his wife, but she didn't expect that she would be tolerant.
Thinking about it, the couple has only had one biological daughter, Xie Rongzhao, for many years. Aren't they living a pretty good life now?
Liu Ruolan sat here for a while, teasing her a little bit more, and then went to get some old clothes with Xie Rongzhao.
Xie Rongzhao took her hand and sat down: "Auntie, Chang Huan is really happy?"
"Can that be false? Brother Lang heard the news last night and was so happy that he couldn't smile from ear to ear for a long time. I'm counting the days. I'll give birth in February next year."
"Auntie, don't put too much pressure on her."
"Don't worry, I didn't say anything when Jiaojiao gave birth to a girl for the first time. Now doesn't your eldest brother also have a son and a daughter?"
"That's true!"
Xie Rongzhao felt that his parents were very good, and Chen Jiaojiao and Chang Huan were both lucky to marry into the Xie family. At least the elders did not favor boys over girls.
Moreover, Xie Rongzhao knew that Aniang had money and was generous with her money, whether it was
Chen Jiaojiao's child is the baby that the Ronglang family will have this time, and my mother-in-law will definitely be willing to pay for it.
"My dear, you are a mother now. I have seen that Jingzhou has been treating you very well these past few years. Just live a good life as a couple. A man's future is important, but it is far less important than his family being healthy and together. .”
"Yes, I understand, Aniang."
Liu Ruolan sighed and said: "I am also at this age, so I can see more clearly. We are all doing well, and it is enough to have enough food and clothing. We cannot just pursue power and wealth. We are all ordinary people, no matter how rich we are, how could we be so rich? Go? And power is something that’s hard to let go of once you get it, so don’t trap yourself again when the time comes.”
"I understand everything Auntie said. Don't worry, I will advise Jingzhou to worry less and focus more on me and the child."
Liu Ruolan glared at her: "Is that what I meant?"
Xie Rongzhao was happy. He hugged her arm and started acting coquettishly: "Aniang, I know that Aniang loves me the most. I also heard him say something about the current situation. Don't worry, I don't go out very often, and the two of us We have few relatives in the capital, so we should not be noticed by King Fu."
Liu Ruolan nodded: "It's good if you understand. Although I have few relatives, I have to pay more attention to my words and deeds. I also need to exchange letters more frequently with my hometown. Firstly, it is to prevent being plotted by others. Secondly, it is also necessary to let the people in my hometown I know that even after Jingzhou became a high official, he did not forget his relatives."
Xie Rongzhao curled his lips and said: "He is only a first- and fifth-grade official, what kind of high official is he?"
Liu Ruolan poked her forehead: "This kid! He dares to say anything! You don't even think about how old he is! He won the top prize in his teens, how can it be the same?"
Xie Rongzhao chuckled and did not refute.
Liu Ruolan gave her a few more instructions, then took the old clothes and left.
The custom here is like this. If you want a boy, you can use the old clothes or old shoes of a boy from a relative's house and put them in the pregnant woman's house. Of course, these must be healthy children's things, just to get them. Congratulations, may the pregnant woman give birth to a fat baby smoothly.
Liu Ruolan didn't ask for a boy, she mainly wanted for success and good health.
Xie Rongzhao thought that her sister-in-law was pregnant, which was a great joy. Although it was not yet three months old and could not be made public, it did not prevent her from making a trip to send some things to her sister-in-law.
Mrs. Cheng thought it was feasible, so she talked about some taboos.
In addition to some dietary taboos, there are also many things that pregnant women use these days. There are many things that can be given and things that cannot be given, but you have to be careful.
Xie Rongzhao prepared some supplements and dug out a few pieces of jade of good quality, thinking of giving them to Brother Lang so that he could carve them into jade pendants or other jade ornaments for his nephew.
