When asked when she would have the baby, Shen Tuqing's face changed slightly.
For a moment, I didn't know how to answer this question.
In her heart, she didn't want to change her plan and didn't want to have children within three years.
Can……
In front of Xu Tongdao and facing Xu Tongdao's gaze, she did not dare to say this decision easily, because she knew in her heart that this answer would definitely make Xu Tongdao dissatisfied.
She subconsciously glanced at Xu Tonglu beside her.
When Xu Tonglu saw her look, he naturally understood what she meant, and immediately spoke to help divert the fire, "Hey, brother, let's talk about having a baby later, okay? The wedding hasn't happened yet! This matter needs to be discussed by us.
Okay, I will definitely tell you."
Xu Tongdao looked at Xu Tonglu.
Before he could discern the specific meaning behind Xu Tonglu's expression, the bedroom door not far away opened, and his mother, Ge Xiaozhu, came out of the bedroom carrying her granddaughter's toilet.
Seeing Xu Tonglu, Shen Tuqing and Ge Xiaozhu sitting in the living room, they were stunned.
Subconsciously asked: "Xiaolu? Why did you come back so early? And...who is this girl?"
Ge Xiaozhu's sudden appearance completely interrupted Xu Tongdao's question about when Xu Tonglu and Shen Tuqing would have a baby.
When Ge Xiaozhu heard that Shen Tuqing was Xu Tonglu's certified wife, Ge Xiaozhu immediately became enthusiastic.
He quickly took his granddaughter's toilet to the bathroom, rinsed it briefly with water, then came to the living room and greeted Shen Tuqing warmly.
About half an hour later, Wei Chunlan also came downstairs with her son in her arms.
Soon, Ge Yuzhu, who lived on the second floor, also came downstairs.
There are more and more people in the living room, and the atmosphere is becoming more and more lively.
Shen Tuqing, who came to the house for the first time, was warmly greeted by everyone, and Ge Yuzhu had already called her "Second Sister-in-law" early on.
When the little beauty Xu Anan came out of her grandma's bedroom, her grandma and mother asked her to call her Shen Tuqing - the second mother.
Shen Tuqing felt uncomfortable shouting.
Before yesterday, she was single, but today she became someone else's "second sister-in-law" and "second mother."
Even though she felt uncomfortable, she still tried hard to play her new role well.
When she heard Xu An'an call her second mother, she subconsciously took out a wad of cash from her bag, pulled out a few hundred-dollar bills, and wanted to give Xu An'an a red envelope.
Then, he remembered that he had just forgotten to give red envelopes to the little guy Xu Le, so he quickly took out a few more and gave them to Xu Le.
Ge Xiaozhu and Wei Chunlan smiled and declined, saying no, but Shen Tuqing still blushed and stuffed red envelopes for the two children.
After stuffing it, she still felt a little uneasy. When she sat back down next to Xu Tonglu, she asked in a low voice: "Is the red envelope I just gave you too little?"
Xu Tonglu was in a good mood at this time.
Seeing her trying hard to play the role of his wife, the smile on his lips never broke.
Hearing this, he whispered: "That's enough, it's okay! As long as it's what you mean, we don't have as much money as my elder brother anyway, right?"
Shen Tuqing was speechless.
Because what he said is right.
…
By the way, when he saw that Shen Tuqing had just given red envelopes to his two children, Comrade Xu was also reminded. When breakfast was served, he stood up and went to the kitchen to serve breakfast himself.
Taking advantage of the opportunity of serving breakfast, he got close to his mother who also came to the kitchen to serve breakfast. "Mom, tell me, this is the first time Xiaoqing has come to our house today. According to the old etiquette, should we also give her a red envelope?"
ah?"
Ge Xiaozhu nodded, "Well, according to the old etiquette, you should give it, and you have to give more, not too little."
Comrade Xu said, "Then how much do you think is appropriate? Is ten thousand enough?"
Ge Xiaozhu was surprised, "So many? Is it too much?"
Xu Tongdao was surprised, "Too many?"
He vaguely remembered that when his wife in his previous life came to their home for the first time, his mother, Ge Xiaozhu, sealed a red envelope worth two thousand yuan.
According to his understanding, this kind of red envelope should be given based on the family's condition.
And he asked himself that with his current net worth, a red envelope of ten thousand yuan shouldn't be too much.
Ge Xiaozhu didn't think so, "It's too much! I've never heard of someone giving it so much. If you give it three to five thousand, it should be about the same."
Tongdao Xu already regretted discussing the size of the red envelope with his mother.
For him now, there is not much difference between three to five thousand and ten thousand.
To say something that might be considered pretentious - during the time the mother and son were discussing this issue, his company's profit was far more than 10,000.
"Okay, okay! I'll give it to you, I'll give it to you, okay?"
Comrade Xu rationally decided to end this topic as soon as possible.
Ge Xiaozhu thought he had listened to her suggestion, nodded with satisfaction and said yes.
…
Xu Tonglu and Shen Tuqing were left to have a breakfast and then left.
The reason is that I have to go to work.
We didn't force them to stay, we just asked them to come back for meals if they had nothing to do.
Returning to the car back to the hotel.
Shen Tuqing took out the big red envelope that Wei Chunlan had just forced on her from her bag, opened it, saw a thick stack of unopened hundred-yuan bills inside, and bit her red lips gently.
The expression is a bit complicated.
This is the first time in her life that she has received such a big red envelope.
I just came to the door once and got a red envelope of 10,000 yuan...
This ten thousand yuan seemed to remind her - Shen Tuqing, you are already my wife.
Xu Tonglu, who was driving, glanced at the red envelope in her hand and her expression, smiled and said, "How is it? Do you like these people in my family?"
Shen Tuqing: "..."
Biting her red lips, she looked at Xu Tonglu, was silent for a moment, hummed, and then added: "It's pretty good, the atmosphere at your house is pretty good."
Xu Tonglu smiled and asked, "Where are my niece and nephew? Aren't they cute?"
Shen Tuqing was unprepared and smiled and nodded, "Well, they are all quite cute, especially Lele, who has a chubby face and is particularly cute when she smiles."
Xu Tonglu asked, "Then do you want to have such a cute baby as soon as possible?"
Shen Tuqing: "???"
She was surprised that what she thought was an ordinary chat had such pitfalls.
She couldn't help but remember the last question Xu Tongdao asked when they were alone with his eldest brother today - when would they have a baby?
After being dumbfounded for a while, she pursed her lips and said, "Tonglu Xu, we made a verbal agreement before, not to have children within three years. You won't forget it so quickly, right?"
Xu Tonglu shrugged, "No! I just wanted to see if you changed your mind."
Shen Tuqing glanced at him sideways, and the meaning in her eyes was very clear - she didn't believe it.
…
That night, the work ended.
Shen Tuqing hesitated for a long time and finally picked up her cell phone and dialed her home phone number.
It was her mother who answered the phone.
After the mother and daughter asked each other about their current situation, Shen Tuqing took a deep breath and finally spoke about her plans to get married.
She also talked about the situation at the man's family, and that the man's eldest brother wanted to come to their house to formally propose marriage, and asked her parents when they would be free in the near future.
She was mentally prepared as soon as possible, but her mother's reaction was still far beyond her expectation.
Her mother's reaction, and her father's excited and joyful reaction after hearing about her marriage on the other side of the phone, finally made her realize that her marriage seemed to be out of control.
