Since there were no outsiders at home, Chen Guifen did not beat around the bush and said bluntly:
"You've seen before how dangerous it is for a woman to be pregnant and give birth to a child. She worked hard to give birth to three children for you, so she must have made an important contribution. But the children..."

Chen Guifen patted Fu Jingyou, her eyes deep and her tone even heavier:

"We can't just think about our own happiness, we should also consider the situation and feelings of your father-in-law and mother-in-law."

Fu Jingyou put down his bowl and chopsticks and sat upright.

He listened very carefully, but the more he listened, the more confused he became.

Chen Guifen didn't want to keep the secret, so she just said:
"Miao girl has no sisters, she is the only one in the family, and your father-in-law is a well-known person..."

"It's not good to talk about these things openly, but if there is no one to inherit after you die, the future will be cut off halfway. Your father-in-law will feel good about it, and the gossip outside may not be pleasant to hear..."

Even though we have reform and opening up and now live in a new China and a new society, the continuation of the incense is still considered of utmost importance.

No matter how capable a person is, if he has no children or descendants, he will always be looked down upon and despised by the public.

People live a face, and trees live a skin.

In most cases, ordinary people find it difficult to bear the strange looks from the outside world.

What’s more, they are a respectable family like the Lu family?
When Chen Guifen said this, Fu Jingyou and He Hongjin both knew what she meant.

Fu Jingyou frowned and thought seriously, but He Hongjin became anxious and waved his hands repeatedly:
"What you mean by that is that you want to give one of the children to someone else?"

"No, no, this is the Fu family's seed, how can we give it away? Besides, what if our in-laws think too much? They think we are giving away a child and want to get something extra from them..."

Chen Guifen frowned and said:

"Why are you saying such harsh words? A child is not an object, how can it be given as a gift? The young couple has been living with their in-laws and mother-in-law in Beijing North. The child is not registered in the same book, but everything else is the same."

"That won't work either. If we don't register our own child in our own household, but register him in someone else's household? Then, should the child call them mom and dad, or aunt and uncle? It's really a mess!"

"Aren't we discussing this? You always talk about incense. Without the Lu family's daughter, how can there be incense for the Fu family? You can't just fulfill yourself and let your in-laws be laughed at and ridiculed."

The old couple were arguing fiercely. Fu Jingyou drank the noodle soup silently, put down his bowl and chopsticks and said:
"Don't worry about it. I'll discuss it with Miaomiao and we'll make our own decision."

He Hongjin frowned and glared at him without saying anything.

Chen Guifen patted him back and said:

"Don't worry about your uncle, he is just a stone in the toilet, an idiot, smelly and stubborn!"

The Lu family's in-laws spared no effort to take care of the two children.

Putting herself in their shoes, Chen Guifen is also willing to consider things from their perspective.

"You should discuss this matter with Miao girl and see what she means first. The youngest child is still young and still has several years to go to school. There is no rush to register the household registration right now."

"Ah."

Fu Jingyou nodded.

He Hongjin rubbed the back of his head and sighed:

"How could such a thing happen in the village? If this matter gets out, won't people laugh at it?"

Marrying a wife does not mean marrying into the wife's family.

If the child doesn't take your surname, wouldn't that give people something to gossip about and talk about?

He Hongjin had many concerns and felt that this matter was not appropriate from any perspective.

But Chen Guifen didn't listen to him, and Fu Jingyou also told him not to care.

He Hongjin was full of worry and anxiety.

In the end, he could only sit down beside the big table, feeling anxious and annoyed, sighing and sucking on his pipe in silence.

Lu Miao is ahead of her time, and Fu Jingyou is always close to her day and night.

After a few years, my personal ideological awareness has surpassed that of my contemporaries by dozens of streets.

Fu Jingyou has an open and active mind, and pursues happiness and perfection.

He was not stubborn and insisted that the child could only take his surname. He had never thought about the matter raised by Chen Guifen in this way before.

Now that I have come to this point, if I think about it carefully, it actually makes a lot of sense.

I just don’t know what my wife and father-in-law are thinking exactly?
It was not easy to jump to conclusion, so Fu Jingyou thought that when he went out to do some errands in the county, he would call back and ask.

Whatever happens, it's fine.

After all, the children are still eaten, drunk and educated in front of them.

It doesn't mean that if a son changes his name or surname, he is no longer his son.

Feeling sorry for him having to sit in the car for such a long time, after he finished his noodles, Chen Guifen said that she would clean up the side room in the yard for him to rest.

Fu Jingyou didn't give in.

Chen Guifen said, "You came back alone. Do you really need to go back there to clean up? Just listen to me and stay here!"

Fu Jingyou nodded, "I will live here, but I don't have to bother to clean up."

He pointed to the bamboo bed against the wall in the main room and said:

"I sleep here at night. The breeze blows through here, so it's cool."

"If you don't sleep properly when you have a place to sleep, what's the point of sleeping?"

Chen Guifen still wanted to clean up the place, but Fu Jingyou stubbornly pulled her and shook his head.

He Hongjin, who had been sighing for a long time, tapped his pipe and said:

"Let him do whatever he wants. If you don't follow his wishes, he will really run over there in a while."

Chen Guifen paused, remembering the quarrel over housing a few years ago and Fu Jingyou's temper, and could only give in.

This time when he came back, Fu Jingyou did not bring his family with him.

There was nothing to worry about along the way, and he slept soundly in the sleeper car and came back feeling full of energy.

Chen Guifen thought he was tired from the ride and wanted him to take a break and lie down for a nap.

he does not.

He and He Hongjin took the key and ran to the East Threshing Ground to see the old house.

It is the time when the busy farming season switches to the busy harvest season. After the early season rice is harvested, the mid-season rice and late season rice begin to be harvested.

After harvesting the millet, you have to thresh it.

While the millet is being harvested, we are also busy planting the double-season millet seedlings for the second season of this year.

Rice is the staple food in the south, and the crops grown are mainly rice.

Fu Jingyou walked along the shore of the pond, looking around along the way.

The sun is scorching and the temperature is still high at this point.

The heat wave was getting higher and higher, and there were few people in the farmlands that were shining with colorful harvest colors.

There were still people busy on the threshing ground next to the house near the bamboo forest.

From a distance, it seemed as if they were trying to take advantage of the slight breeze at this moment to blow away the dust and gravel in the grain pile.

Several figures, old and young, were interweaving and busy.

Fu Jingyou was heading back to his home. The people on the threshing floor recognized him and stopped what they were doing.

I curiously went to the shade of the jujube tree in front of the door and chatted with him:

"Xiao Liu is back?!"

"I heard that your wife just gave birth to another boy for you. Are you coming back to hold a full-month banquet this time?" (End of this chapter)
