When Li Xu heard this, she sighed helplessly, “How can you compare it with that time? At that time, it was common to get married early. As long as the girls did not go to school, they would get married and have children.”
That was so many years ago. Times were progressing.
The more books the girls read, the higher their academic qualifications became.
The age of marriage was getting older, the age of childbirth was getting higher, and the number of children was getting fewer.
So, how could her daughter be compared to her twenty years ago?
Seeing the mother and daughter standing at the door chatting endlessly while the son-in-law stood at the door cautiously like a child who had made a mistake, Zhang Kun immediately stood up and said, “Don’t stand at the door. Hurry up and sit down.”
Only then did Li Xu react. She blocked her son-in-law at the door.
She immediately stepped aside and called out to Qin Mucheng, “Let’s go in and sit down.”
Qin Mucheng nodded carefully, “Okay, Mom.”
After saying that, he walked to the living room and sat down on the sofa.
Ji Yuanyuan felt sorry for Qin Mucheng.
It was her decision, and she had even lied to Qin Mucheng.
But now, he was the one being blamed.
She tugged at Li Xu’s sleeve and whispered, “Mom, how about I sleep at home tonight?”
Li Xu nodded, “Of course. Your dad and I won’t go out in the afternoon. What do you want to eat tonight? Let your dad buy it now.”
Ji Yuanyuan shook her head, “There’s nothing I want to eat. I’ll eat whatever Dad makes. It had been a while since I had eaten Dad’s cooking, and I missed it quite a bit.”
Li Xu rolled her eyes at her, “You still have the nerve to say that? Didn’t you agree to come home to see me often when you got married? How many days have you not been back?”
It had been about half a month.
Although the Qin family’s residence was not very far away, Ji Yuanyuan had been busy with the secondary examination and graduation thesis.
Li Xu did not really blame Ji Yuanyuan.
After saying that, she looked at Zhang Kun and urged, “It’s almost two o’clock now. Hurry up and go to the supermarket to buy some fresh vegetables and meat.”
Zhang Kun got up, took his phone, keys, and wallet, and walked out.
Qin Mucheng also got up quickly, “There are still some things in the car. I’ll go down and get them.”
When they went upstairs earlier, he had to support Ji Yuanyuan, so he did not take the things in the car.
Zhang Kun heard this and quickly said, “Just nice, let’s go down together.”
Qin Mucheng nodded, took the car keys, and went downstairs with Zhang Kun.
Only Li Xu and Ji Yuanyuan were left alone.
Li Xu poked Ji Yuanyuan’s head in disappointment, “You’re so young, and your career hasn’t even started yet. Do you think having a child is that good? In the future, even if you are tied up by the child, you won’t be able to go anywhere far. The child won’t be able to leave you.”
Ji Yuanyuan hugged Li Xu’s arm and said coquettishly, “Mom, I was the one who wanted a child. This has nothing to do with Brother Mucheng. He and my mother-in-law didn’t want me to give birth so early, but I just wanted a child.”
When Li Xu heard that it was Ji Yuanyuan who wanted the child, her expression became even more incredulous.
She did not understand why her daughter was like this.
“Mom, Brother Mucheng really didn’t lie to me to have a child. You have to treat him better!”
Li Xu sighed, “Did I not treat him well?”
“Besides, there’s no harm in me giving birth now.” Ji Yuanyuan chuckled. “My mother-in-law is only in her forties this year, not even fifty yet. She can also help me take care of the baby and me… I can also take good care of the baby. After all, I’m different from ordinary people.”
Since Ji Yuanyuan had already said that, what else could Li Xu say?
She sighed helplessly, “Silly child, I just feel sorry for you.”
Ji Yuanyuan hugged Li Xu’s arm, “I know, but Mom, he’s already in my stomach!”
Li Xu lowered her head and looked at her daughter’s stomach, “I haven’t made up my mind to be a grandmother yet. I always thought that I was still young, but I didn’t expect that I was already a grandmother.”
“I didn’t expect you to be the first one to have a child.” She said after a pause.
Ji Yuanyuan rubbed her belly and asked smugly, “Do you want to tell Big Brother and Second Brother? Asked them to prepare a red packet for their nephew.”
“You’re just pregnant. How can you spread it around? You can take advantage of the summer vacation to stay home and care for your pregnancy. It would be stable in three months. He would inform them then.”
“Yes, I understand.” Ji Yuanyuan nodded sweetly.
Downstairs, Qin Mucheng opened the trunk and took out all the things that Cheng Shuqin had prepared for him.
These things were all precious.
Zhang Kun knew that his in-laws were guilty.
This also proved that the Qin family really loved Yuanyuan.
He immediately reached out and patted Qin Mucheng’s shoulder to comfort him.
When Qin Mucheng went upstairs, Li Xu and Ji Yuanyuan had already regained their peace.
Ji Yuanyuan was lying on the sofa watching television while Li Xu was washing something in the kitchen.
Qin Mucheng placed all the gifts at the entrance of the kitchen. He rolled up his sleeves and went into the kitchen, “Mom, I’ll do it. You can go out and watch TV with Yuanyuan.”
Li Xu said politely, “No need, no need. Hurry up and go out. There are only so many grapes. It will be done in a while.”
Qin Mucheng wanted to say something else, but Li Xu continued, “I heard that if you eat more grapes, the eyes of the children you give birth to in the future will be bigger. You have to buy more grapes for her to eat in the future. The child’s eyes are big, so she will definitely be good-looking.”
In the living room, when Ji Yuanyuan heard Li Xu’s words, he could not help but retort, “Mom, what you said is pseudoscience. Eating grapes won’t make the child’s eyes bigger. It’ll only give me diabetes.”
Li Xu frowned, “It’s definitely not good to eat too much. You have to eat in moderation.”
Qin Mucheng stood in the kitchen and looked at his mother-in-law before looking at his wife. For a moment, he did not know who to listen to.
Ji Yuanyuan looked at Qin Mucheng’s embarrassed look and could not help but laugh. She waved at him, “Come quickly.”
With Ji Yuanyuan’s instructions, Qin Mucheng hurried out of the kitchen and sat on the sofa with Ji Yuanyuan.
Zhang Kun made a lot of dishes for dinner. Ji Yuanyuan was in a good mood and had a good appetite, so she ate a lot.
Li Xu frowned and reminded her, “Even if you nourish yourself during pregnancy, you can’t overdo it. If the child grows too big, you will suffer when they give birth. If she couldn’t, she might have a good C-section.”
When Li Xu spoke, Qin Mucheng listened with a serious expression.
After Li Xu finished speaking, he nodded seriously, “I’ll remember it, Mom.”
Looking at Qin Mucheng’s serious expression, Li Xu’s mood slowly improved.
At night, the two of them stayed here.
Li Xu and Ji Yuanyuan had something to talk about. They were staying in the house that Ji Yuanyuan had stayed in before he got married.
Since Zhang Kun was staying in the master bedroom, Qin Mucheng could only stay in the room in which Ji Zixuan and Ji Zi’ang previously stayed..
