Chapter 270 Jiaojiao Can Speak
"Minmin, the baby in your belly will definitely take after his brother. I think you should just call him Wang Qiang. That would be great. He can work in the government just like his brother in the future. Hehehe."
Zhou picked up a steamed bun and stuffed it into Wang Fugui's mouth with an expressionless face.
"Mom and Dad, I am officially announcing that I have already chosen a name for the baby in my belly. She will be called Wang Yueran. My daughter will have a smooth and happy life."
Grandpa was just about to open his mouth to fight for his grandson's gender.
"I got this from Lotus. I'm very satisfied. Dad and Mom, what do you think?"
"Okay, that's good hehe."
Grandpa pretended not to see Wang Fugui's resentful look, and the name of the third child in the Wang family was decided.
Su He rolled her eyes and spoke to her grandparents.
"I said that grandpa and uncle are not the kind of people who favor boys over girls. In my opinion, daughters are more caring. Look at me, I can support the entire village by myself. When Yue Ran is born and weaned, I will personally take care of her and guarantee that she will raise a top-ranking female scholar for you."
Wang Fugui looked at Su He who was so confident and he started laughing again.
"Hehua, if Yueran learns even a little bit of your skills, she will not be bad in her life. I, your uncle, will never favor boys over girls, but in this world, men always have an easier life, don't you think?"
Su He nodded affirmatively. Even in modern times, it is difficult for women to survive in society.
"In that case, let nature take its course. It doesn't matter what kind of baby it is. I just want my aunt to be safe and sound. The child is not as important as my aunt."
Zhou's eyes felt sore and tears fell.
At this moment, she felt that no one was as considerate as Su He. Ever since she became pregnant, she had been worried about not being able to give birth, but these people kept talking about the child.
Seeing her daughter-in-law crying, grandma quickly asked her son, who was an eyesore, to leave.
"Don't come to the table. Go away, get a steamed bun and go inside. I'm just annoyed by your presence."
Wang Fugui shrank his neck and walked away with the steamed bun.
"You too, go with your son. From now on, we should eat separately for men and women."
Sun took a steamed bun and stuffed it into Wang Daming's hand, then sent him away.
"I didn't say a word. It has nothing to do with me. It was all Fugui's fault."
Wang Daming took the steamed bun and walked away in a daze. Su He wanted to laugh when she saw her grandfather looking aggrieved.
"Aunt, grandma, great-grandma, should I leave?"
The three people focused their eyes on Tietou, "You don't need it, eat yours."
Tietou breathed a sigh of relief. He didn't want to eat steamed buns because there was braised pork today.
"Mom, do you think I can give birth smoothly?"
Zhou was rarely confused, and Sun quickly clapped her hands to comfort her.
"It's okay. You've already given birth to two children. The third one will surely be born soon. Don't worry."
"Aunt, I will get a doctor for you. If anything happens, I will protect you."
Su He promised Zhou seriously that the medicines in her space needed to be sorted out to see if there was anyone who could help, and she would go to the city to ask someone next time.
"I'll ask a doctor to check your pulse next time. Don't worry, you'll be fine."
After listening to Su He's assurance, Zhou felt more at ease. She knew her niece was very reliable and everything would be fine with her around.
"Okay, then I'll be relieved."
Zhou picked up the steamed bun and started eating again, and Sun also breathed a sigh of relief.
"Aunt, Brother Bin will probably live in the city in the future, so Tietou will depend on you. You must check his homework every day. If he studies hard for three or four years, he may be able to enter the government. At worst, we can open a small shop for him and let him be the shopkeeper."
Tietou saw that everyone's eyes were on him again and he was frightened. He decided to just eat the steamed buns with his grandfather.
Su He actually wanted to find something for Zhou to do. If a person is too idle, he will have wild thoughts, so it is better for him to be busy.
"Hehua, we will listen to you. Tietou, did you hear what your aunt said? Go do your homework after dinner. When you are done, I will take it to the teacher for inspection."
Tietou agreed timidly.
"By the way, when are Qingqing and Lanlan going to get married? I'll arrange my own time and come over."
"They'll be gone in a few days. Lotus, you have to come back in two days. Qingqing wants you to take her to Erli to get married, just like getting married in a sedan chair."
Su He was not surprised at all. Wang Qingqing had mentioned to her in advance that her wedding was designed according to the drawings given by Su He. The three of them began to discuss how to arrange the first wedding in Tianyuan Village.
Half an hour later, Su He returned to his home.
Miaomiao and a few others sat on the kitchen doorstep, each licking a piece of maltose.
Jiaojiao also licked her face, and Su He walked closer and heard Miaomiao bragging.
"Jiaojiao, it's delicious, isn't it? Be good from now on and I'll give you delicious food every day."
Jiaojiao replied seriously, "Be good."
"Jiaojiao can speak now?"
Su He was a little shocked. Didn’t Liu Ci say that she had never spoken a word?
"Sister, Jiaojiao is always talking. You don't stay at home often, so we don't know much about her. We all know that."
Su He felt a little embarrassed, but when she looked up and saw Liu Ci's shocked eyes, she knew that the "we" that Miaomiao was talking about might not be what she thought.
"Jiaojiao, did you speak just now?"
Liu Ci squatted down carefully and asked Jiaojiao who was concentrating on licking the maltose.
Jiaojiao smiled sweetly at her mother, "Sweet."
Liu Ci covered her mouth and cried. Her daughter was not mute.
Miaomiao looked at Liu Ci in confusion and whispered to Tiantian.
"Tiantian, what happened to Master Liu? She's crying, but I think she's very happy."
Tiantian was more educated after all. She pondered for a moment and came to a conclusion.
"That's probably what we call tears of joy."
What? Is there still such an idiom?
"Tiantian, how did you know?"
"The Master said that when we talk about joy, anger, sorrow and happiness."
"What are joy, anger, sorrow, and happiness?"
Liu Ci didn't even have time to cry, "Miao Miao, didn't I just say this a few days ago?"
The poor student Miaomiao gave a guilty smile, "I remember, Master, this is an idiom, which means very happy."
Liu Ci's eyes were filled with tears again.
"Look, the Master is crying with joy again."
Su He walked over with a shameful look on his face and pulled Miaomiao up. He believed that he couldn't let his sister be left alone like this anymore.
"Miao Miao, your sister will check your homework from now on. If you fail, I won't bring you snacks anymore."
Miaomiao opened her eyes wide; the sweetness in her mouth could not cover up the bitterness in her heart.
"If you continue to behave like this, you will come with me to the city. I will teach you in person every day. If you fail to complete the task, your little stash of money will be confiscated."
Su He's fierce look was still very scary, and Miaomiao responded dejectedly.
"Tiantian, you behaved really well. Aunt Hehua will buy you maltose next time."
Su He turned around and touched Tiantian's little head and praised her. Tiantian smiled shyly. She even knew to plead for her little friend.
"Aunt Hehua, Miaomiao knows she is wrong. Let her stay in the village. I will supervise her in the future. She will definitely study hard."
"Chance!"
Jiaojiao leaned over and tugged at Su He's skirt, pleading for her favorite sister.
The three of them looked at Su He pleadingly, and Su He softened his heart and agreed.
"Miao Miao, since everyone wants you to stay, I'll give you another chance. Next time I come back, if you slack off like this again, I'll be rude to you."
Miaomiao nodded quickly, "I understand, sister."
Su He touched her sister's head, afraid that she didn't understand.
"Do you remember the days in Sanshi Village? Our life is good now, but who can predict the future? It's unpredictable."
"My sister was sold when she was eight years old. At first, she only received 100 coins a month. The maid who shared the room with me spent it all in a few days, but I dared not spend a penny. Miaomiao, people are different. I know she still has family to rely on. If she runs out of money, she can just act like a spoiled child and ask her family for some. But I don't have that. I only have myself, and I'm still thinking about redeeming myself and coming to you. If I spend all the money, I'll have no way out."
