He didn't expect her to be so happy, but instead felt a little embarrassed.
"They are all our children anyway. It doesn't matter if they have my surname or yours. Your parents only have a daughter. I believe my parents will understand if I have another child with your surname."
Xue Ling sighed and explained: "My parents didn't dare to mention it, maybe because they were afraid of embarrassing you. If my third uncle hadn't mentioned it, I wouldn't have realized it at all. My third uncle said that I am the only one in my father's lineage.
, if I get married, our line may be cut off. If I can have a few more children, and choose one with my surname, my father will not be said to have no descendants in the clan in the future."
Cheng Tianyuan has been to the Imperial Capital and understands that the Xue family is a big family in the Imperial Capital and has a very high status.
"I'm not embarrassed."
He scratched her pretty nose and whispered: "However, I will have to work hard for you in the future to give birth to two more for us. If there are four children, then half of them will be named Cheng with me, and half with your last name of 'Xue'."
"
"Hee hee!" Xue Ling smiled shyly, threw herself into his arms, and hummed: "Four is too many! It's hard work to conceive and give birth to a child! Are you willing to bear it?"
"I can't bear to bear it." Cheng Tianyuan kissed her head and whispered: "So three is enough. When you are pregnant with the child, I will take good care of you. If I can't bear the pain of childbirth for you, I will help take care of the child to alleviate the pain.
Is your burden and psychological pressure okay?"
"Okay!" Xue Ling rubbed his neck and smiled with satisfaction: "Thank you for your understanding, and thank you for thinking about my family."
"We are all a family, why are you thankful?" Cheng Tianyuan narrowed his eyes and smiled, hugged her to his chest, and said: "Your parents are also my parents, and I am the son-in-law, so I am their half-son. They are so
If they value me, I will naturally treat them well."
At that time, the engagement between the two families was just a verbal agreement. Both families were very poor at the time and did not even have any decent tokens.
Many years later, he took his old mother to the imperial capital to look for someone. His father-in-law recognized the family without saying a word. He didn't dislike him for being poor, let alone for not having any betrothal gifts, and hurriedly let his daughter go south to get married.
This feeling of trust is enough to make him grateful for a lifetime.
In order to celebrate the wedding of her old father, the daughter-in-law married into the family and couldn't even afford some wedding candy. However, the daughter-in-law finally resolved the embarrassment, paid off the debt, gave money, led the family out of Chengjia Village, and moved forward step by step.
Such a good situation today.
Xue Ling nodded and whispered: "You can discuss it quietly with your parents later. When they confirm their agreement, I will tell my parents."
"I still have the final say on this matter." Cheng Tianyuan said: "My parents are also reasonable people. Although they have little cultural knowledge, they have always been tolerant towards others, as you know."
"No." Xue Ling insisted: "You still have to discuss it with them in advance. This is out of respect for them. If I bring it up and they don't agree, it may be very difficult. You are a son, even if you talk to them
Don't worry about estrangement if you quarrel, it's better for you to ask first. I'll tell my parents when they really agree."
Lest they rejoice in vain.
She was embarrassed to say the last sentence.
Cheng Tianyuan felt that she had thought it through very carefully. Whether such a matter was big or small, it was better to discuss it carefully with her parents before making it public.
"Okay, I'll mention it to them when I get the chance."
…
Early the next morning, Xue Ling got up.
She thought it was early enough, but unexpectedly, there was a mountain higher. Her parents and parents-in-law had already gotten up and had eaten. They were feeding Xiao Ranran breakfast and planned to go for a walk by the river.
Cheng Tianyuan said: "At around eight o'clock, I will pick you up at the Café de Coral in the development zone and take you around the old town of Rongcheng."
"Okay!" Dad Xue chuckled: "It's a rare trip back. It will definitely be a different feeling to visit the old place again."
Cheng Muhai hasn't read many books, and he can't say that he is very literary.
"I have always wanted to go to the old city and go to the old alley. I lived there for several years! Wu Di, let's take this opportunity and go together."
Mother Xue couldn't help but ask: "There used to be an old beef shop at the intersection. Is it still there now? At that time, it was the only shop selling food in the county!"
Cheng Tianyuan smiled and said: "I don't know. Dad, Mom, wait for a while and you can look for it carefully. We will eat out at noon today and then go home to take a nap after eating."
"Okay!" The four old men said in unison and unanimously approved.
Xue Ling ate the porridge pitifully and smiled bitterly: "I have to go to the construction site next door to work in a while. You guys should have fun."
Cheng Tianyuan looked at her dotingly and explained: "Drive the car over here. At about half past eleven, we will wait for you under the banyan tree outside the entrance of the big alley. Then we will go have lunch together."
"Okay!" Xue Ling couldn't help but remind: "Remember to bring more water. You can drink it if you are thirsty on the way. You have to bring more water to Xiao Ranran. Drink more water to avoid getting sick."
"I know." Mother Xue said with a smile: "Just take care of yourself, the child is with us! There are five adults, are you worried that you can't take care of a child?"
Xue Ling was naturally relieved and drove off by herself after breakfast.
Cheng Tianyuan has been driving the jeep he bought last year, and she is driving the brand-new one.
Originally it was close and I could just walk there, but thinking that I might have to go find Boss Liao later, I simply drove over.
As soon as I arrived at the gate of the construction site, I saw a group of people quarreling!
She frowned suspiciously, stopped the car, and opened the door.
At this moment, many people saw her, turned around and rushed towards her, all of them angry.
"Mr. Xue! I heard that you proposed to fire us, right?!"
"What are you doing to fire us?! We don't have to listen to Zhang Biao! We come out to work just to make money, not for fun of big bosses like you!"
"Zhang Biao was going to make trouble, and we didn't want to at first! It's almost the Chinese New Year, and we haven't made enough money yet, so how can we go home!"
Liu Xiaoyu was also in the crowd. Seeing her coming, she quickly gathered around her.
"Sister-in-law! Don't worry about them!"
"Mr. Xue! Boss Liao hasn't arrived yet! Please tell them clearly!"
Xue Ling's forehead hurt from the noise and he couldn't help but wave his hands.
Others continued to make noise, but Liu Xiaoyu was the calmest and shouted loudly: "Everyone, be quiet first! Listen to Mr. Xue!"
His loud voice frightened everyone, but they soon fell silent.
Xue Ling slowly looked at everyone and said calmly: "This is the entrance to the construction site. No matter what you have to say, don't be impulsive. If you have something to say, please speak slowly. If there is anything, let's discuss it slowly. There is no need to block here and make noise."
"
She pointed inside and raised her voice: "Everyone, please follow me into the temporary office to chat! Let's go!"
Everyone recognized her as Xue Ling, who was the major shareholder of the construction site and was responsible for all the capital expenditures of the entire construction site. Even Boss Liao paid her a three-pointed compliment.
Without Boss Liao, there is no one who can make the decision here. Without the backbone, everyone will start arguing and quarreling.
Now that someone who can talk is here, there is no need to argue. They all followed Xue Ling and walked into the construction site.
Xue Ling winked at Liu Xiaoyu, lowered his voice and asked, "What's going on?"
