"Sister, do you think girls are inferior to boys?" Chu Ye understood in an instant the frustration in Chu Hua's heart.
On the one hand, she felt that she had to give birth to a boy as soon as possible to pass on the Gao family's bloodline and at the same time reassure her parents-in-law. But on the other hand, what if the baby is a girl? Do girls have to be bad? They were all children crawling out of her belly, how could she not love them?
But, but, but what should I explain to my parents-in-law? It would be fine if they saw a boy born, but it would be better if the baby is a girl. How would they view themselves? Do you feel that you are useless, or are you urging yourself to get pregnant with your third child as soon as possible?
She was entangled in this for a long time. Even when her husband left home to work in a factory in the town, she was not in a sad mood. At this time, she suddenly heard Chu Ye asking, and she subconsciously retorted, "How is it possible? Girls are also very good, but they still have to have boys. How can we do it without boys?"
"Sister." Chu Ye put his hands on her shoulders and looked at her with a pair of calm black eyes, "What if you never give birth to a son?"
"Why can't you give birth to a boy? You can definitely do it. At most, you can have a few more. Don't say such unlucky words again." Chu Hua shook his head and glared at her, speaking with displeasure.
"Don't you have anything else to do except give birth to your son? Think about it, after the Chinese New Year, my brother-in-law will have to go to work in the town. He only comes back every ten and a half days. Wouldn't you have nothing to do if you stay at home? Besides, wait If you have a second child, your family expenses will be even greater. When the time comes, you will have to deduct your money for whatever you want to buy. It will be very frustrating." These words touched Chu Hua's heart, and she looked a little relieved. There was no rebuttal.
"Then, what does that have to do with me giving birth to a son?" Chu Hua turned the words around in her mind, and then returned to the most fundamental issue.
"Sister, think about it, no matter your son or daughter, they are not all your children, but apart from having children, you don't have anything you want to do? The money my brother-in-law earns will support your family, so he still has to live a tight life. Besides, Now, don’t you want to go to town to find your brother-in-law?”
"You make sense. I'm not worried about your brother-in-law being alone in town, and I'm not afraid to tell you and make you laugh. My mother-in-law is a bit difficult to get along with. Sometimes I don't tolerate her, and even if we have conflicts, It's up to your brother-in-law to mediate in the middle. When he leaves, I feel really unsure." Now Chu Hua really listened, and what she said was sincere, and a hint of sadness appeared on her eyebrows unconsciously.
"That is to say, you see how inconvenient this is. You don't have any money, you can't buy what you want, and you don't have anyone to talk to if you have something on your mind. You might as well go with your brother-in-law when the time comes. Town life.”
"This way, you don't have to stay at home every day. When you get to the town, if you feel you have nothing to do, you can find yourself a small job, so that you can make money. It would be great if you use the money to buy yourself some clothes and jewelry. "Chu Ye is good at persuading and can always speak to Chu Hua's heart.
As for why Chu Hua wanted to have a boy so crazily in her previous life, in addition to the urging of her parents-in-law and husband to have a boy, she also stayed in the village all year round and her thoughts were imprisoned. No one told her that there was more to life than this. .
But Chu Ye knew that her third sister had dreamed of being a salesperson in a department store since she was a child, because she loved the lively atmosphere of being noticed, communicating with people, and bright and lively colors. Birds with colorful feathers were imprisoned in rural cages in their previous lives.
And now what Chu Ye does is to put the bird in a more lively place, let her see the outside world, and then break free from the restraints and fly in the air.
Here Chu Hua heard her heart surge, and she felt more and more that this method was feasible. She just wanted to follow her husband to the town. It was not to take care of her husband more conveniently. What could she do wrong?
Then she thought about the department store recruitment thing that Chu Ye mentioned to her last time. She couldn't help but start to imagine that if she went to the town and found a job as a salesperson, wouldn't it be possible to look at and touch the things she had seen every day? Something new that you haven’t seen before?
And pay wages! When she is rich, she can buy the latest and most fashionable clothes, and she can perm her hair into big waves!
hiss! Just thinking about it made her feel sweet. Her eyes became hot, and she held Chu Ye's cheeks with both hands. She had a small face, and now she had a pair of dark eyes, looking at her in confusion.
"Bo'er!" A kiss fell on her forehead, Chu Hua's tone was as gentle as treating her own child.
"Sister, I know that my love for you is not in vain. As expected, you have gone to school and have a good brain. I will listen to you and give it a try." Chu Hua changed her worries when she came, and her whole body became full of joy again, as if she was in a hurry. Another handful of firewood was added to the originally tiny flame, and then the red light shot up into the sky again.
Chu Ye smiled and said nothing, and gently rubbed her face against the rough palm. In her previous life, she felt sorry for what happened to her third sister, but she could not do anything to change others. In this life, she wants the people she cares about to live a better life. Better. ——
In the remaining days, the two Chu Ye siblings followed their parents to visit relatives and friends. They also visited some distant relatives and neighbors and elders in the village, and then helped the family with some work. Soon it was the tenth day of the first lunar month. five.
After tonight, the two siblings will go back to school. After dinner that night, Chu Guangyao pulled Chu Ye to his room on the pretext that he wanted his sister to check his winter vacation homework.
Although Chu Ye was a little puzzled, she still followed her. When she arrived at the house, she saw the little book she bought on the table, with an exercise book next to it. She took it over and opened it to check. She glanced over it quickly and found nothing wrong. She was confused and wanted to ask a question, but she heard Chu Guangyao's voice hesitantly say, "Sister, the winter vacation homework assigned by the teacher is simple, and I can do it. I called you here for something else."
The young man was obviously taller than Chu Ye, but he lowered his head at this moment. The bright yellow light cast shadows in front of him, and also cast shadows between the young man's eyes and nose, making it difficult to see his expression.
He stretched out his hand, and there was some change in his palm. There was some change, but not much, "Sister, this is the pocket money I saved, as well as New Year's money. I want to give these to you. You need money to go to school outside."
For a moment, all kinds of emotions came to her heart. She felt that her brother had really grown up and knew how to repay his family, but she couldn't help but wonder in her heart, did he know that her life was so difficult in her previous life? Did he want to help himself?
She took a deep breath and calmly concealed the impulse in her heart, "You can keep it yourself. I use subsidies at school and don't need these."
After saying that, she turned and left.
At night, she dreamed about what happened in her previous life again, and her mind was tumbling for a long time. She woke up early the next day, and everyone in her family was still asleep. She picked up the luggage she had packed yesterday, stood at the door of her parents' house, and said softly After saying something, he turned around and walked out.
The winter morning was still bitingly cold. At this time, the ink in the sky had not receded. When she looked up, she could still see some stars. She closed the courtyard door, pulled up the scarf around her neck, covered most of her face, and raised her head. Legs walked towards the village entrance.
She made an appointment with Brother Jianwen yesterday, and when she left home this morning, she went directly to the entrance of the village to wait for him.
When Chu Ye walked to the village entrance with his luggage, the ink in the sky faded a lot. He looked up and saw that the stars in the sky had disappeared. There was a white light rising from the distant horizon to dispel the darkness.
Chu Ye, on the other hand, was waiting quietly under the tree. Probably because she didn't sleep well last night, her eyes were a little blue and she looked bad.
After a while, there were rustling footsteps. Chu Ye looked up and saw a tall man in black walking this way. In the distance, there was some white mist in the air, and she couldn't see clearly. So she subconsciously hid behind the tree trunk, and at the same time reached into her luggage, trying to find something that could protect herself.
