On the eighth day of the second lunar month, Zhou Yan and Wang Dahu were engaged.

Yang Xu went there early so that she could talk to Zhou Yan. Moreover, it was not very busy at that time and there were few people so there would be no crowds.

It was almost the coldest time, and there was a heater inside the donkey cart. Yang Xu didn't wear much clothes. She had felt hot since she was a month old.

After Wang Dayi asked the doctor, he was reassured that it was a normal phenomenon. The doctor also said that as long as she was not cold and there was no need to wrap her up too tightly, the pregnant woman would feel warm.

"It's warm inside the donkey cart, but it's still very cold outside. Can you tie up your cloak and take it off when you get inside?" Wang Dayi coaxed.

"Fine."

Wang Dayi wrapped Yang Xu in the prepared cloak and even put on his hat. There was some wind outside.

Yang Xu didn't say anything. Although the door was not far from the house, it was indeed windy. Brother Dayi cared about her so much, and she felt warm in her heart.

Yang Xu accompanied Zhou Yan inside the house. Wang Dayi couldn't enter the girl's boudoir, so he went to chat with Zhou Yan.

"This curtain is beautiful."

"Sister Yang, you're here!" Zhou Yan heard the voice and said in surprise.

"You are getting engaged today, how could I not come over?" Yang Xu walked over with a smile.

"No, it's not convenient for my sister to go out and walk now that she's a month old, and it's very cold outside, so I feel sorry for her. I can understand if she doesn't come, but now that she's here, I'm very surprised!"

It was inconvenient for Yang Xu to have a big belly, so Zhou Yan went over and took off her cloak, then helped her sit on the bed.

"Actually, it's not bad. I came here by donkey cart, and our two families are not far apart. There are not many people here today, otherwise I really wouldn't be able to come."

"Fortunately, by the time I get married, my sister has already given birth. It's just in time, and I can bring my goddaughter with me." Zhou Yan said with a smile.

The engagement was set today, but it’s still early to get married! Dad meant it would be around the second half of the year.

"Speaking of your goddaughter, she has become your godson now." Yang Xu chuckled when she heard Zhou Yan talking about the child.

"Ah? Sister, what do you mean? Two in the belly?" Zhou Yan asked in surprise.

"No, I am not that lucky. A few days ago, I went to the doctor and the doctor said that there is a good chance that there is a boy in my belly. You don't know. Brother Dayi was stunned on the spot, which made me laugh to death.

"As soon as Yang Xu said this, recalling her expression, she wanted to laugh again.

"He also said that Brother Dayi, even when I heard it now, I still couldn't react. We all thought it was a daughter, but now it's time to become a son. It's so surprising, and it feels a bit unprepared." Zhou

Yan said.

To be honest, she was also surprised. She was prepared for it, but then she suddenly changed.

"Actually, I'm fine. I prefer boys! This is acceptable." Yang Xu touched her belly with a gentle look on her face.

"I'm fine, I just hope that this child will be as well-behaved and smart as Tianbao. Sister, you don't know that brat Zhou Tao was not well-behaved at all when he was a child. He was very naughty every day, which made me mad, but I still like him very much.

He just gets tired sometimes."

She was not very young at that time, and she still had to take care of the house. If the brat didn't look around, he would run outside and play wildly. When he came back, his clothes were dirty, and sometimes he would fight with other children, which she was afraid of.

Mad.

"It's okay. It doesn't matter if the boy is more lively. As long as he doesn't make big mistakes, it doesn't matter if he has some fun. Besides, I think Taotao is very good and he is very sensible now."

Yang Xu is not afraid. As long as the child's thinking is good and the education is good, whether he is lively or quiet depends on the environment. If he doesn't make a big mistake, she will not dislike him.

Moreover, she thinks it is better for boys to be more lively, and children who are lively and active will always be in good health.

"Speaking of which, Taotao has become sensible in the past two years and doesn't fight anymore. I'm quite happy. The problem is that I didn't educate him specifically. He just obeyed himself, which is quite strange."

"So let's just say that Taotao is also a good child. He used to be more aggressive when he was young and lively. Now that he is a little older, he is naturally more stable." Yang Xu said with a smile.

"Probably, I sometimes think it may be because of friends. He has known Tianbao and the others since last year. When we play together as a group, we slowly learn from each other and become more sensible."

"It's also possible that these children are all measured and influence each other. Tianbao was a little too dull before, but now he's a little more lively. I think it's good."

He had never been to town before, Tianbao had no friends, and his family conditions were not good. This child was fragile and insecure, with low self-esteem in his bones.

Since arriving in the town and going to school, thanks to his teacher's teachings, praises from people around him, and getting along with his friends, the child has gradually become cheerful and more confident.

Nowadays, Tianbao is growing up very fast. In just three years, Tianbao is completely different from the past. She is very happy to see this child now. He is polite, smart and smart. The most important thing is that he brings a group of children with him.

He has leadership skills but is humble enough to listen to opinions, which is rare.

Yang Xu and Zhou Yan discussed the children's matters for a while and felt that Tianbao's group of children were all very good and had a good foundation. Now that they were playing together, they all grew up.

"Boys are fine too! It's just a pity. I also want to wear beautiful clothes with my goddaughter and teach her how to make rouge and gouache!" Zhou Yan felt it was a pity that girls can learn these things, and boys can't.

learned.

"Why have you forgotten yourself? You are going to get married in the second half of the year and give birth to a child by yourself! There is a half chance!" Yang Xu joked.

"Sister!" Zhou Yan said with a blushing face.

"Okay, okay, I won't tease you anymore. In fact, I'm not wrong. You and Brother Dahu will always have children."

Yanyan is old enough to have a child, and Brother Dahu is not young anymore, so he definitely wants a child.

"Yes, then you can just let the boys and the girls take their fate. I like them all." Zhou Yan said shyly.

She has no idea of ​​favoring boys over girls. She is a woman and doesn't think there's anything wrong with it. Her father also likes her very much!

As for Brother Dahu and his family, it goes without saying that when Aunt Wang was chatting with her, she told her countless times that she wanted a daughter, but she gave birth to a son. Later, due to physical reasons, she could only give birth to this child.

a child.

Later, their family recognized Xiao Da as their godson. There were three grown men in the family, and the Queen Mother rarely cared about a daughter.

"Well, both boys and girls are fine. They are all the treasures of their parents." Yang Xu said with a smile.

"By the way, Sister Yang is still young. After she gives birth to this baby, she can have a few more. One of them will be a daughter. It would be best to have both children." Zhou Yan said.

She couldn't say she was particularly fond of children, but she liked them quite a lot. She had thought about it, and having two children was just right. However, everyone seemed to think that it would be better to have more children. Anyway, a family like theirs would not have many children.

It's still affordable.

"I haven't thought about it yet, but I have read a medical book before, which said that it is bad for a woman's health to have children continuously. It is better to have children every two years. And women should not have children after they are thirty-five years old.

, very dangerous."

Especially in ancient times, giving birth was extremely dangerous. Yang Xu herself would never give birth to a child after the age of thirty.

"I know a little bit about this, but I didn't make it so clear. It's really dangerous for a woman to have children when she gets older." Zhou Yan has also read such books.

"Well, so, apart from these two points, I have to pay attention to the rest. But to be honest, I only want two children. After all, it hurts to give birth to two children.

Just keep company."

Modern people generally want one child, and she thought it would be nice to have two children with each other. Even if there were more, it would not be easy to give birth to a child. She was still a little scared. I heard that it would be very painful...

"My sister and I decided to go together. I don't like those children making noises. The noise makes my head hurt. I think I might not be able to bear it. Two children are enough, but many people don't say that.

The more, the better! Seeing that my sister also likes children, I thought you would want several!"

Yang Xu is really gentle, not just pretending. Zhou Yan feels that Sister Yang has the kind of gentleness that comes from her bones. She is very patient with both children and adults.

"I'm afraid of the pain! And it's not easy to raise a child. It's not just about feeding and clothing them. You also have to educate them carefully, let them receive the best education, and care about them. And each child's

People with different personalities cannot be educated in the same way; they have to be taught in accordance with their aptitude. In short, it is not easy to raise a child seriously and responsibly."

"It's really troublesome to hear what my sister said! I'm not even married yet, so I'm actually a little scared. I'm afraid that I don't know how to educate my children." Zhou Yan held her chin in worry.

"Hey, take your time. We don't have any education. Just read more, think more, reflect more, and teach them to be kind, friendly, filial, and polite. That will be great."

Seeing Zhou Yan still a little sad, Yang Xu couldn't laugh or cry. This girl must have thought too early!

"Look at you, you were shy when it came to getting married at the beginning! Now you are worried about your child's education. It's not too early. I'm about to give birth, and you just got engaged today! Don't think too much,

Be happy today, it’s almost time, Brother Dahu and the others are coming over!"

Yang Xu was really amused. This was an unfounded worry. This girl was rarely confused today.

"Oh, I almost forgot. What my sister said makes so much sense. It's the first time I heard about this. I was so fascinated by it that I got myself involved in it. I forgot that I'm not married yet.

!" Zhou Yan was a little embarrassed.

She was confused and got involved in it for a moment, which made her confused. Wasn't she worried here? When she thought that today was the day of engagement, but she was thinking about her children in the future, Zhou Yan couldn't help but blush.

"Okay, okay, I'm not laughing at you, we are chatting! That's how chatting is. You can talk about the past and the future. Now that you have this awareness, it will be easier in the future!" Yang Xu comforted with a smile.

.

This girl is so shy that she buries herself under the quilt and refuses to come out, but don't hold it back.

"But get up quickly and don't mess up your hair. Today is an important day!"

"Sister, please don't laugh at me, and let's not talk about this topic again." Zhou Yan said coquettishly.

"Okay, okay, I won't say anything anymore, and I will never laugh at you." Yang Xu quickly promised.

Zhou Yan just got up, her face was still flushed, and she looked extremely embarrassed.

"Ah, is my hair messy? Sister, please tidy it up for me." Only then did Zhou Yan think about her hair.

Brother Dahu and his family are coming over soon, and he can't make a mess.

"No, no, it looks good!" Yang Xu checked it carefully. Fortunately, the hair was still in good condition.

"When my sister married Brother Dayi, was it engaged?" Zhou Yan asked a little nervously.
