"Your brother-in-law and I are the most honest and helpless parents in the world.
She can do whatever she wants, and do whatever she wants.
How dare we put pressure on them?
We didn’t even say a word of reminder.”
Xue Ling whispered: "Xiaomei is over thirty, and Xiao Zeng is almost forty. They are indeed a little older."
"you do not say!"
Xue Cong said: "Today's young people are 23 or 24 years old when they go to ordinary universities, and they are 267 when they go to graduate school.
If you wait a few years to pursue a single and free life, you will be in your thirties in a flash.
Then I went on a blind date to find a partner for a few years, got married and pursued a world of two people for a few more years, and in a flash I was in my forties.
The two of them had a flash marriage, and they were planning to have children right after they got married—but they were still too old."
She helplessly whispered: "The doctor said that the best age for a person to have children is between 20 and 30 years old. Try to solve your fertility plan before 30 years old. The longer you delay, the harder it will be.
In addition, today's young people have a lot of pressure in their lives, like to look at their mobile phones and stay up late, so their bodies are suffering unknowingly.
Xiaomei yelled that she went to the gym three times a week and said she was very healthy, but after the checkup, she passed several inspection indicators."
"No way?"
Xue Ling stared in surprise: "She...she looks quite healthy."
Xue Cong shook his head: "No, anemia, kidney deficiency, intestinal and stomach deficiency, although they are not serious problems, they add up to enough.
The doctor said that young people like to squander their health. I always feel that I am still young anyway, so there is nothing to worry about.
Nowadays, there are more and more chances of sudden death among young people, those with high blood pressure, and cerebral infarction.
Xiaomei doesn't like to eat randomly, but she is under too much pressure at work and often misses three meals on time. She occasionally works overtime until all night, and her body is already exhausted."
Xue Ling sighed and whispered: "I also often tell the children not to stay up late. Going to bed late and getting up late is a bad habit.
We humans have evolved from working at sunrise to resting at sunset.
Now I turn on the lights, mobile phones and game consoles, and I can’t bear to sleep.”
"Another reason is drinking too much coffee."
Xue Cong explained: "Xiaomei's work is intense and she often relies on coffee to refresh herself.
Colleagues only drink coffee and tea, which are all refreshing things.
Coffee hurts her stomach, and her stomach was ruined by drinking it.
The doctor said she had a cold spleen and stomach, but she didn't pay enough attention to it and ate some ice cream from time to time, which made it worse."
"The intestines and stomach mainly rely on nourishment."
Xue Ling reminded: "You should cook more porridge for her, morning and evening.
She has been in the company for so many years and has such a high professional title. She can rest for a year or two, take good care of her body, give birth to a healthy baby, and then continue to work hard in her career."
"They originally planned to have a litter of cubs."
Xue Cong sneered: "I was full of confidence and boasted, but then I found out that it was so difficult to conceive a child, so I quickly changed my plan.
Now I just want to get pregnant with one as soon as possible and try to have one or two children."
Xue Ling chuckled: "Young people of our era basically get married in their early twenties.
We have children too early, and we usually become mothers in our twenties.
Late marriage and late childbearing are actually not only caused by changes in young people's concepts, but are also mostly related to changes in the social environment.
In the past, there was not much economic disparity between people. We would just hold a job, have children and take care of the family, and our lives would be like this.
Today's young people have many pursuits and ideas. They like to pursue themselves. Some even plan to remain single and never get married. They say that marriage is a mess. After all, people only last a lifetime, so why bother to embarrass yourself and find a trap for yourself to jump into. "
"I can't even accept it!"
Xue Cong held his forehead and smiled bitterly: "I am retired now. When I have nothing to do, I browse some self-media writing on my mobile phone. I feel dizzy when I look at it. I feel that people nowadays... are too selfish and scary."
"We definitely can't accept it."
Xue Ling said: "Young people say there is a generation gap at a certain age. There is a gap of more than thirty years between us and today's young people. How can we accept their novel and unique ideas!"
"Maybe it's too complicated."
Xue Cong sighed with emotion: "People's greed has become complicated and terrifying."
At this time, Xue Yang brought two cups of steaming black tea.
"Mom, Auntie, I'm sorry to keep you waiting for so long.
There happened to be no spring water in the living room, so I went to the big kitchen to get some and boil it, which took a lot of time."
Xue Cong took it with a smile: "It doesn't matter, we sisters always lose track of time when chatting.
I happen to be a little thirsty, and your tea comes just in time."
Xue Yang put down the black tea and then took his mother's leftovers to the kitchen.
"Your children are very well behaved."
Xue Cong couldn't help but praise: "She looks good, is motivated and hardworking, and knows how to be filial to her elders and considerate of her parents.
Lingling, to be honest, I really envy you for this, sister! Not only in terms of quantity but also in raising children, you have done much better than me."
Xue Ling smiled and said: "Your little beauty is so powerful and has a unique personality. Not everyone can match her.
Those of me are too mediocre, just ordinary people, and cannot be considered outstanding."
"It's already good enough."
Xue Cong glanced at her and whispered: "Don't ask for too much. Even if your child is not at the top of the pyramid, he is definitely at the top.
I only gave birth to one child, but I didn’t have time to take care of her, and neither did her father, so she had such a strong temper and easily refused to accept our opinions.
She is too independent and doesn't have a strong sense of family, so she doesn't know how to care about her parents."
Having said this, she sighed quietly.
"In the final analysis, it's actually our parents' fault for not educating her well.
I was very busy when she was a child, and her father was also very busy. We were all focused on developing our careers and did not have enough time to accompany her as she grew up.
The only good thing is that she didn't grow crooked and became a danger to this society.
This child is smart, independent, highly motivated, and has a strong personality. Not only does he study well, he also has excellent artistic skills.
Her father and I were very happy at first, but until our child went abroad and refused to come back, there were only a few video calls throughout the year, and big red envelopes were given to us two old people during the New Year, and then there was nothing.
At that time, we were really afraid..." "We were afraid that she would forget her roots, her family and her parents, and that she would become a child who was indifferent to family affection.
Until we tried every means to coax her back, let her live at home, make breakfast with her in the morning, let her go home to sleep at night, and go out hiking or picnicking or eating out as a family on weekends, etc.
Try to spend as much time together and chat as possible, so that she can integrate into the family unconsciously."
"She joked that the things she envied other children after she was three years old did not come true until she was thirty years old. Although it came a little late, it was better than nothing.
We also found that she got very close to us after she came back. Family affection is the reason why blood is thicker than water. For parents and children, some things do not require too much effort, but they just lack the thought."
