After the New Year's Eve dinner, Xu Tongdao and Xu Tonglu took two-year-old Xu An'an to set off fireworks in the villa yard.
Before the New Year, Xu Tonglu, an uncle, specially bought a lot of fireworks and said that during the New Year, he would let An An watch them.
They said that since An An was born, they have not set off any fireworks for her.
In the yard.
When Xu Anan saw fireworks for the first time, she was surprised and scared at the same time. She wanted to get together and set them off together, but when she saw the fireworks jumping up, she was so scared that she ran back and subconsciously hid behind her grandma, but her little head never stopped.
Grandma stretched out her legs and stared unblinkingly at the colorful fireworks that lit up the night sky.
Comrade Xu was amused when he saw her like this, so he walked aside, brought some long and thin fireworks, and lit them, which only gave off a sizzling light.
He handed one of the fireworks he had just lit to his daughter.
"An'an! Take it yourself!"
"Afraid! Afraid!"
Xu Anan, who is usually not afraid of the sky or the earth, was so frightened that she hid behind her grandmother Ge Xiaozhu.
Made everyone laugh.
Ge Xiaozhu pulled her out, "An'an, don't be afraid! Dad gave it to you, take it quickly!"
"Afraid! Afraid..."
Xu Anan still wanted to hide, so Tongdao Xu simply reached out and took one of her little hands, and put the sizzling, flickering fireworks into her hand.
Xu Anan still shouted "Afraid! Afraid!"
But after a while, she became bolder when she saw that the fireworks did not hurt her in her hands.
Instead of hiding behind her grandma, she grinned happily and started waving the fireworks in her hand. She giggled when she saw the fireworks being waved by her, drawing circles of flickering fire one after another in the night.
…
late at night.
Third floor.
Xu Anan was already asleep.
Xu Tongdao and Wei Chunlan were wearing thick down jackets, standing on the balcony, looking at the night of the city. Today is New Year's Eve, and from every corner of the city, fireworks burst into the night sky from time to time, with colorful and different patterns.
The fireworks set off the night beautifully tonight.
Xu Tongdao held Wei Chunlan's waist, and Wei Chunlan leaned in his arms, with her face leaning on his chest.
The scene of fireworks blooming in the night sky was reflected in their eyes.
Looking at it, Comrade Xu couldn't help but sigh: "At this time next year, we will change from a family of three to a family of four. Thank you, Lan Lan, for letting me experience what it's like to be a father."
Hearing this, Wei Chunlan looked up at him, subconsciously stretched out her hand to touch her belly, and sighed: "If I give birth to another child, I will get another stab in my stomach. I'm afraid just thinking about it..."
Xu Tongdao was silent.
yes!
Her first child was delivered by cesarean section, and she had no choice but to have a cesarean section for her second child.
Didn't she need another stab in her stomach?
Not to mention her as a woman, even he, Tongdao Xu, would feel terrified just thinking about having a knife cut on his stomach.
Thinking of this, he held her arms slightly tighter, kissed her gently on the cheek, and whispered in her ear: "This is it! After giving birth to this baby, whether it is a boy or a girl, we
I won’t have a third child.”
Wei Chunlan looked up at him, "Really?"
Comrade Xu nodded affirmatively, "Really."
Wei Chunlan looked at him and did not answer, as if she was trying to determine whether his words were true or false.
Xu Tongdao rubbed his face against hers and reiterated his thoughts: "You believe me! I really have no obsession with having a son, really!"
Wei Chunlan still looked at him. After a few seconds, she suddenly asked with complicated eyes: "Comrade Xu, tell me the truth. Did you marry me because I was pregnant with your child? You married me because of the child."
of?"
Comrade Xu laughed and shook his head.
Wei Chunlan looked at him suspiciously.
Xu Tongdao: "Lanlan, don't think so wildly! I admit that I married you so early because of the child, but marrying you is not entirely because of the child. I, Xu Tongdao, can't do it just because any woman got pregnant with me."
If she has children, I will marry her! That’s impossible! Although I like children and want children, it is impossible for me to marry a woman I don’t like at all for the sake of children!”
Wei Chunlan blinked, "Really?"
Tongdao Xu rubbed his face against hers again and nodded silently.
What he just said was not a lie.
It is true that he likes children and wants children, but marriage...
Before his rebirth, he had experienced a failed marriage, so it was impossible for him to be careless.
Because he knows very well that if he marries the wrong person, the family environment in which their children will live will be very bad after they are born.
That... wasn't what he wanted to see.
Of course, he did not deny that the fact that Wei Chunlan was pregnant with his child was a big factor in his decision to marry Wei Chunlan.
Otherwise, he would not have gotten married so early.
Wei Chunlan smiled, looked back, and looked at the distant night sky... the fireworks blooming.
Comrade Xu watched with her.
Time passed quietly, and Xu Tongdao suddenly promised softly in her ear: "Lan Lan, I promise that you will always be my wife. This will never change unless you change your mind."
Wei Chunlan's eyes became slightly blurred, and she whispered softly: "Forever..."
After she came to her senses, she smiled, leaning her head in his arms and rubbing his chest slightly.
…
Time goes by.
Wei Chunlan's belly gradually grew bigger and bigger.
As winter turns to spring, the temperature gradually rises.
Wei Chunlan's clothes were getting thinner and thinner, but her belly was getting bigger and bigger like a balloon.
Xu Tongdao, who slept with her every day, clearly felt the difference between her pregnancy this time and the first time she was pregnant with her daughter.
For example: when she was pregnant with her daughter, Wei Chunlan's big belly could be seen from behind. But this time she was pregnant. Although her belly was getting bigger, every time he looked at her from behind, her waist
Her limbs were still as thick and thin as before, and from her back, it was impossible to tell that she was pregnant.
Mother Ge Xiaozhu said - I am pregnant with a son this time.
Occasionally when he walked with Wei Chunlan in the community, some old people in the community saw her belly and said she was pregnant with a boy.
For this reason, Xu Tongdao was curious and searched for related issues online. He found that many people online said that the gender of a child can be determined by looking at the shape of the belly.
But it also takes a lot of people to refute the rumor that judging the gender of a child by looking at the shape of the belly is pseudoscience and inaccurate.
And there are many people who have come forward to tell their own stories about the shape of their belly when they were pregnant, but the result was that the baby they gave birth to was different from what they said online.
etc.
In addition, my daughter has been acting strangely recently.
She has become very clingy to her mother (Wei Chunlan) and has become much more squeamish than before. She cries easily.
Ge Xiaozhu said: "Ji Onni! An An looks like this, he is Ji Onni!"
Xu Tongdao, Wei Chunlan and others did not understand what this meant.
All I know is that the "Onni" she said means boy.
Ge Xiaozhu explained: "There has always been a saying in the past that if the first child is a girl and the second child is born, if the girl is particularly clingy to her mother, then she will be a 'step-on-ni', and the second child will definitely be born."
It’s ‘Onnie’!”
Xu Tongdao was hesitant and felt that he was too superstitious.
