Happy Life in Siheyuan

Chapter 288 Children Don't Make Choices
Not long after, a train started slowly from the platform, drifted away, and roared in the direction of Qilian Mountain.

On the train, in a hard sleeper compartment.

Xu Yiyi lay on the window and watched the rapidly receding scenery outside, with a look of excitement remaining on her face.

Li Xiuzhi nestled in Xu Lingjun's arms, her brows radiated happiness, she heard the strong heartbeat in her ears, and murmured: "Brother Xu, you are so kind."

As the saying goes, the daughter who gets married is the water that gets thrown out.

Even if Xu Lingjun is unwilling to contribute money and efforts, she can't blame Xu Lingjun, let alone ask Xu Lingjun to do so, after all, their own family is not very well off.

However, for her sake, Xu Lingdu not only paid a large sum of money, but also worked very hard to cook meals for several days, allowing her parents and brothers to enjoy a good few days.

In her perception, she felt that there was no man in this world who could be as good as Xu Lingjun.

Back then, it was Xu Lingjun who pulled her back from despair, and this time, it was Xu Lingjun who pulled her natal family out of the predicament again.

It can be said that being able to marry Xu Lingjun in this life is definitely the luckiest thing for her.

The experiences of these years appeared in her mind, and a sweet smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.

However, the next moment, when she thought of her disappointing stomach, her smile froze and her mood dropped.

"What's the matter with you? Don't worry! If something happens, your brother will write to us."

Xu Lingjun noticed Li Xiuzhi's emotional changes, thinking she was worried about her family, he smiled slightly, and hastily spoke softly to comfort her.

"Ok!"

Li Xiuzhi looked up at Xu Lingjun, then hugged Xu Lingjun tightly, silently thinking about the conversation with Hu Meilan before.

"Xiuzhi, you see Yiyi is so old, why don't you and Lingjun hurry up and have more children?"

"Mom, I want to give birth too, but my stomach just doesn't live up to expectations. What can I do?"

"How could this be?"

"I do not know either."

"Is it possible that Ling Jun is not in good health?"

"No, he. He is strong!"

"then you?"

"Oh! Mom, don't guess. We just went to the hospital for an examination not long ago. The doctor said that there is nothing wrong with our bodies."

"Then why can't you get pregnant?"

"how could I know!"

"Hey! What should we do like this? Although you have Yiyi, the daughter will always marry when she grows up. If she doesn't have a son, wouldn't Ling Jun be the last one?"

"Mom, stop talking."

"Okay, okay, Mom won't say, but you have to hurry up on this matter! Ling Jun is a good man, and he can only be tied down if he has a son."

"Ok!"

"If you really can't, you can discuss it and see where to adopt one first. I heard that some families can't have a son. If they adopt one, they can conceive in the next year."

"Can this work?"

"Why doesn't this work? How do you know if you don't try?"

"Let me see again!"

"."

Li Xiuzhi's lips twitched when she thought of this, but she still didn't say anything in the end.

If you really want to adopt one, doesn't that mean they won't have children.

She could bear it herself, but she didn't want Xu Lingjun to be wronged.

Moreover, Xu Yiyi is already sensible, so it would be unfair to Xu Yiyi to adopt one back.

Or take a look!
Maybe, you will be able to conceive after a while!

After much deliberation, she could only comfort herself in her heart.

At the same time, in Fuchang Village on the prairie of Qilian Mountains.

Guo Bizi sat on the top of his kang, smoking a cigarette silently.

"Crack!" With a sound, Niu Fengying opened the door and walked in.

Guo Jizi's eyes lit up, and he asked with some expectation: "How is it? Are you back?"

"No!"

Niu Fengying shook her head, and said angrily: "Hey, I said, are you annoying! You have to ask several times every day."

"Hey! Then I'm in a hurry! It's almost the Chinese New Year, and our seventh team is counting on Ling Jun to be in charge of the New Year's Eve dinner!"

Guo Bizi explained with a somewhat embarrassing smile.

"If you want me to say that the glutton in your stomach is attacking, you don't think about food and drink all day long. If you don't know, you think I can't cook!"

Niu Fengying rolled her eyes and said angrily.

"Haha! Hehe!"

Guo Bizi scratched his scalp resentfully, not daring to talk back to Niu Fengying.

Indeed, within two days of Xu Lingjun's departure, he began to dislike the bad food made by Niu Fengying, and he couldn't eat it after a few bites.

Since ancient times, it is easy to go from frugality to extravagance, but difficult to go from extravagance to frugality.

He was used to the delicious food made by Xu Lingjun, but he really couldn't eat the simple food cooked by Niu Fengying.

In fact, he is not the only one who doesn't think about food and drink these days!
Although Niu Fengying said it bluntly, why didn't she dislike the food she cooked in her heart?

When she gets up early every morning, the first thing she does is go to Xu Lingjun's house to help take care of the chickens and rabbits, in order to know whether Xu Lingjun has come back at the first time.

"Hey, do you think it's possible for Ling Jun and the others to come back after the New Year? After all, they haven't returned to their parents' house for many years, and the school won't start until after the New Year. It's understandable to want to live longer. "

Guo Bizi exhaled a puff of thick smoke, and asked with a frown.

"No way! There's no reason for the son-in-law to celebrate the New Year at her mother's house! If you want me to say, maybe they've all returned by now! Don't make wild guesses here."

Niu Fengying was taken aback for a moment, and said disapprovingly.

"That's right! All right, I'm off to work."

Guo Bizi frowned, put on his shoes, and walked out with his hands behind his back.

In a flash, it was more than eight o'clock in the evening.

Xu Lingjun took Li Xiuzhi and Xu Yiyi out of the county train station, and then, instead of staying in the county seat, they called a work carriage outside the train station and went straight to Fuchang Village overnight.

"Shut up!"

Following the groom's soft drink, the carriage stopped at the gate of the courtyard.

"Master, here it is!"

Xu Lingjun took money out of his pocket to pay the fare, then hurriedly carried Xu Yiyi, who was already asleep, into the house.

Li Xiuzhi walked into the house with her luggage, and immediately set fire to the kang.

Soon, the room was lit up with a red fire, and the temperature became warmer.

Xu Lingjun gently helped Xu Yiyi take off her coat, and then helped Xu Yiyi cover her with the quilt.

Looking at Xu Yiyi's small and cute face, he couldn't help but shook his head and laughed softly: "Our girl doesn't sleep well every day at grandma's house. I didn't expect that she slept so soundly just after returning to the foot of Qilian Mountain."

"She! She grew up with you on horseback since she was a child, how can she get used to the outside world!"

Li Xiuzhi pursed her lips and said with a smile.

"It's okay. Let's take her out to get used to it more in the future. The world is so big, we can't let her stay in this small place for the rest of her life."

Xu Lingjun said with a smile.

"What's wrong with staying here?"

Li Xiuzhi said with some displeasure.

For some reason, as Xu Lingjun became more and more excellent, she suddenly felt a little guilty.

She worried that one day Xu Lingjun would leave her.

If possible, she would rather just spend her whole life here with Xu Lingjun in a down-to-earth manner.

"What happened to you?"

Xu Lingjun frowned and asked with some doubts.

"fine!"

Li Xiuzhi shook her head, turned around and went into the kitchen to boil water.

"Xiuzhi, you know that our place is still not as good as a big city after all. You have seen it when you go back to your mother's house this time. With the country's vigorous economic development, big cities will give priority to education and resources in the future. I don't want Yiyi When she grows up, she can find someone to marry, and she should have her own life."

Xu Lingjun walked over and explained softly.

"Anyway, I don't want to go to a big city. It's good here."

Li Xiuzhi glanced at Xu Lingjun and said with a straight face.

"What if I have to go?"

Xu Lingjun frowned and asked in a deep voice.

"Do you like to go or not!"

Li Xiuzhi felt sore and said angrily.

"What's the matter with you?"

Xu Lingjun was slightly taken aback, and asked with a frown.

Li Xiuzhi lit the fire silently without speaking.

Xu Lingjun pondered for a while, stepped forward, squatted down, reached out to hug Li Xiuzhi, and said softly: "Xiuzhi, don't worry, no matter where I go in the future, I will take you with me."

Li Xiuzhi stared blankly at the fire at the stove, and muttered to herself: "Brother Xu, I don't want to tie you up, you are a capable person, just like an eagle on the grassland, and I am just a Ordinary woman, as long as you still want me, I will always be waiting for you at home."

"Fool, how could I not want you!"

Xu Lingjun said with a dumbfounded smile.

"Ok!"

Li Xiuzhi agreed softly, resting her head on Xu Lingjun's shoulder, thinking silently in her heart.

From Xu Lingjun's thoughts, it can be seen that Xu Lingjun will never spend the rest of his life here with her like this. Without a son, how can she tie Xu Lingjun's heart?
If Xu Lingjun knew what Li Xiuzhi was thinking, he would definitely be dumbfounded.

Because he is old in the future and destined to go to another world.

So he didn't care much about the problems of future generations.

It's good to have it, and it doesn't matter if it doesn't.

However, Li Xiuzhi was not from her previous life after all, and she didn't know that Xu Lingjun had a system. As long as she didn't give birth to a son for Xu Lingjun, she couldn't let go of it.

What's more, even if she gave birth to a son, can she be completely relieved?
If the gap between husband and wife is too large, it will inevitably make the weak one feel uneasy. This is also one of the main reasons for paying attention to the right marriage since ancient times.

Xu Lingjun pondered for a while in his heart, but he didn't want to understand what happened to Li Xiuzhi.

In the end, he just thought that Li Xiuzhi wanted to live a stable life, and he never thought that he was too good to put pressure on Li Xiuzhi.

Not long after, the hot water boiled.

Li Xiuzhi made hot water and asked Xu Lingjun to take a bath first.

Xu Lingjun directly dragged Li Xiuzhi into the bathroom together.

Soon, there was a gentle and moving voice in the room.

In his opinion, the best way to coax a woman is to have one blow, if not, then two blows.

Sure enough, more than an hour later, Li Xiuzhi was lying on Xu Lingjun's chest, and a sweet smile appeared on her face unconsciously.

Early the next morning.

As soon as Niu Fengying entered the yard, she saw Li Xiuzhi's graceful figure.

She was slightly taken aback, and then suddenly shouted with joy: "Xiuzhi, you are back!"

"Yeah! Just arrived last night."

Li Xiuzhi replied with a smile on her lips.

"Ouch! You guys are back! You don't know, but he keeps nagging in my ear every day, saying when Lingjun will come back? My ears are almost callused!"

Niu Fengying stretched out her hand to pat her thigh, and said with some emotion.

"Heck! We're only going for a few days! Is there any need to be in such a hurry?"

Li Xiuzhi frowned and smiled softly.

"Isn't it! Hehe, then you should be busy first, I have to go back and talk to Xiaozi, lest I have to listen to him nagging again today."

Niu Fengying said with a smile.

"Okay, by the way, Big Brother Xu told you all to come over for dinner at night, please tell the others for me."

Li Xiuzhi nodded and explained.

"Okay, I'll notify you in a moment."

Niu Fengying's eyes lit up, she hurriedly agreed, turned around and walked home.

Soon, herdsmen came to the door one after another carrying things, all of which were some ingredients.

When Xu Lingjun woke up and saw these ingredients, he couldn't help shaking his head and laughing. Then he took Xu Yiyi and drove the carriage to the county seat.

In the county town, because of the liberalization of private restrictions and the stimulation of the Spring Festival, the streets are full of small businesses and vendors, creating a lively scene.

Xu Yiyi rolled her eyes, looking at the dazzling array of snacks on the street, she was a little confused about which one Xu Lingjun should buy.

"How is it? Have you decided which one to eat?"

Xu Lingjun asked with a smile.

"Papa, I want to eat it all!"

Xu Yiyi looked at Xu Lingjun expectantly.

"Okay! Then we'll buy a little of each."

Xu Lingjun frowned, nodded and smiled.

He thought to himself that this is really his daughter, children don't have to make choices!
Then, he took Xu Yiyi to kill those vendors.

Half an hour later, Xu Lingjun put a bag of shortbread on the carriage. Seeing Xu Yiyi's mouth bulging like a little squirrel, he couldn't help shaking his head and laughing.

Not to mention, with Xu Yiyi's foodie nature, he was really worried that Xu Yiyi would be cheated by food in the future?
This was also the reason why he kept teasing Xu Yiyi's mouth.

Not long after, Xu Yiyi patted her stomach with satisfaction, stopped staring at the snacks on the carriage, and started urging Xu Lingjun to watch the performances of those street performers.

In this day and age, there are dragons and snakes in the market, and many artisans who run the rivers and lakes want to take advantage of the Spring Festival to earn some extra money and have a good year.

Xu Yiyi stared wide-eyed at an uncle who was performing a boulder-breaking performance, and exclaimed in surprise: "Papa, this man is so amazing!"

"Hmph! What's so amazing, Dad can do it with one hand."

Xu Lingjun said sourly.

"Really?"

Xu Yiyi looked at Xu Lingjun suspiciously.

"Of course, I'll let you know how powerful Dad is when I go back."

Xu Lingjun said proudly.

"Okay! Then let's go back quickly!"

Xu Yiyi's eyes lit up, and she urged with a look of anticipation.

"Okay, let's go shopping and then go back."

Hearing this, Xu Lingjun hurriedly carried Xu Yiyi back to the carriage next to him. He didn't want Xu Yiyi to look at the uncle's chest again.

Reject the uncle, start from the doll.

Soon, he drove the carriage to the vegetable market to buy some fresh ingredients, and then rushed back to Fuchang Village without stopping.
