"Good boy!" Zheng Xiaoyi said with a smile: "Auntie, make a big dumpling for Xiaohan to eat, okay?"
Xiaohan nodded obediently: "Okay!"
Zheng Xiaoyi called Xiao Yue and said, "Take your sister to the living room to play. Remember to coax her!"
Xiao Yue immediately acted like a big brother and said boldly: "Quick! Come with me!"
Children all like to have playmates, so they immediately followed behind their elder brother.
Xue Heng looked at the two cute little guys with a smile on his face unconsciously.
"In the blink of an eye, Xiao Yue is almost seven years old."
Mrs. Chen couldn't help but keep talking, "Xiao Yi, you and Ah Huan have to work hard to have a second child! Xiao Yue is already so old, so hurry up and have one more child."
Zheng Xiaoyi's pretty face turned red and she whispered: "Maybe I don't want it anymore. The one-child policy has been in place for many years. I can't manage even one person. I don't dare to be too greedy."
"Don't be afraid!" Xue Zhilan explained: "Back then, you hadn't graduated yet, and your household registration hadn't been moved to our home yet. Ah Huan could only put Xiao Yue's household registration under A Heng's name, marking it as his nephew. Now your names are
I haven’t had a child yet, but I should be able to have one more.”
"Yes." Xue Heng reminded: "It's better to have one more child as soon as possible. The current policy is becoming stricter and more standardized every year."
"It's true." Zheng Xiaoyi explained: "The current birth certificate is not too strict. I heard from my colleagues that the birth certificate next year or the year after will have to be entered into the computer. In the future, there will be Internet access and so on. Those who want to secretly have children
It’s even harder for people.”
"Then make it quick!" Ms. Chen urged: "Hurry up and have another baby, and mom and dad will help you take care of it. Next year Xiao Yue can go to primary school, and Xiao Han can go to kindergarten. We have time to help you take care of the little one.
"
Zheng Xiaoyi hesitated a little, shook his head and said, "One is actually enough."
Neither she nor Xue Huan are only children. When they were young, they always felt that it was not good to have too many brothers and sisters. There were always people grabbing toys and snacks from them every day. Later, when they grew up, the brothers and sisters helped each other, encouraged and supported each other.
Especially after their father passed away, the relationship between the three of them became better and closer, because they understood that blood is thicker than water, and they also understood the value of family ties.
She also felt in her heart that it was not good to have only one child, but reality simply could not allow it.
In the past few years, Cheng Tianfang spent all her time looking for trouble. Sometimes she complained about this, and sometimes she was jealous of her parents-in-law's love for Xiao Yue, which made her upset.
The parents-in-law were so angry that they simply ignored their two small families and traveled around without returning home.
She had to go to work alone, take care of Xiao Yue, and take care of the family. She was so busy that she couldn't turn around.
Fortunately, my uncle and aunt felt sorry for Xiao Yue, so they took him with them, picked him up from kindergarten, cooked breakfast and dinner, and helped him sleep with him at night.
Otherwise, with how many times she works the night shift, how can she take care of the children!
She also had the idea of having a second child, but the reality was too cruel and she had to cancel it.
"It's not enough." Xue Zhilan said warmly: "You can't have just one child, you have to have a companion. If anything happens in the future, there will be one more person to discuss and share the burden with."
Zheng Xiaoyi chuckled: "Actually, where I come from, the concept of having more children means more blessings, and so does my dad. It's just that in our generation, our concepts are slowly changing."
"You don't need too many children, but you don't need too few." Xue Zhilan said: "If you don't need several, you will definitely not be able to take care of them by then, but you need to have someone to keep you company, at least two."
"Yes!" Xue Heng said: "Look at Lingling, she can be considered a member of our generation, and she gave birth to four children in one breath! A few years ago, when registering the children, she was fined a sum of money. Fortunately, the third child
The fourth child is a twin, so it counts as one, so the punishment won't be too much."
Mrs. Chen smiled and said: "You also go and fight for a pair of twins!"
Zheng Xiaoyi smiled and whispered: "This... I will discuss it with Ah Huan."
This matter has to be decided by the couple after discussion, with other people trying to persuade them, and the final decision is still theirs.
It was getting dark and both children were hungry. Xiaoyi cooked dumplings and let the two children eat them first.
Xiao Yue ate very quickly and his chopsticks were very slippery.
Xiaohan is not good yet, so she can only use a spoon to pull it.
Xue Heng wanted to help his little girl, but she didn't want it, so he muttered: "I don't want it! I want to eat it myself! Sister Xiaoxin said that only little kids need to be fed by adults!"
"Haha!" Xue Heng laughed, rubbed her shoulder-length hair, and said, "But our Xiaoxin is a little brat to begin with!"
"No!" Xiaohan hummed: "I am already a big kid."
Xue Heng laughed and said, "Okay, then you can eat it yourself."
Xiaohan buried his head and pulled hard.
Xue Zhilan looked at his grandson and granddaughter with a loving smile on his face.
"Xiaoxin and the others were able to eat by themselves at a very young age. At first, Ayuan and her mother-in-law had to clean up a lot of things. But it is instinct for children to learn to eat and drink quickly. After all, they will learn how to do it.
, and you will be able to eat it yourself soon. They are all very well educated, and we should be able to do nothing wrong if we just follow them."
"That's right!" Ms. Chen said with a smile, "Xiaohan can already eat by herself, that's really amazing!"
Xiaohan was encouraged, smiled very happily, and ate harder.
Xiao Yue saw it and ate it with big mouthfuls.
Zheng Xiaoyi explained: "In the summer, he can already take a bath by himself. My uncle told me that in autumn, it is cooler in the morning and evening. His movements are still slow and he likes to play with water, so he easily catches cold. I have been giving him a bath these two days.
He washed it."
Xue Zhilan said: "If you need to go to work, just bring your clothes and towels and we will wash them for him."
"Okay." Zheng Xiaoyi said without any courtesy, "Then I'll leave it to you."
Soon it was getting dark and Xue Huan came back.
"Dad!" Xiao Yue jumped up for joy, ran over excitedly, and pounced on him.
Xue Huan laughed, quickly opened his arms, picked up the little guy, and threw it high, high, and high again.
Xiao Yue cheered, screamed, and laughed.
The family members laughed unconsciously when they saw this scene.
Zheng Xiaoyi was secretly complaining about Xue Huan, but seeing how he loved his son, his heart softened unconsciously.
If he had the opportunity to go home to spend time with his wife and children, how could he not come back?
She was busy doing one job by herself, but he needed two.
He has been under a lot of pressure in the past few years, and she can understand it, although she still has to complain occasionally.
This week, he will come back.
Xue Huan chuckled, put down Xiao Yue, rubbed Xiao Han's hair, and said with a smile: "Are you waiting for me to start eating? Hurry up! Eat quickly!"
Everyone hurriedly prepared for dinner.
Xiao Yue curiously asked: "Dad, are you on duty again tonight?"
"No." Xue Huan hugged his little arm, but stared at Zheng Xiaoyi, and said: "Dad doesn't have to be on duty tonight, and he doesn't have to go to the company to work shifts. I will take you and mom for a walk after you have eaten."
"Okay!" Xiao Yue was very excited, "Dad, remember to buy me a robot!"
Xue Huan nodded: "As long as you are serious about class, dad will buy it for you."
"Seriously!" Xiao Yue replied.
Xue Huan responded, "Then I'll buy it for you."
Zheng Xiaoyi on the side gave Xue Huan some rice vinegar and whispered: "Eat quickly."
Xue Huan looked at her affectionately from the corners of his eyes and gave her a steamed dumpling.
"Sister Lingling has been a big help and invested a large amount of money into the factory. The factory is now running as normal, and I can finally take a breath. I received my salary in the morning and will buy beautiful clothes for you and my son later."
