Chapter 56 It is best to have a girl

There was also a bag of peanut candy. It was both peanuts and candy, and you could tell it was good stuff just by looking at it. Tie Dan and Gou Dan looked at it, their mouths watering. But Chen Cui Juan didn’t say anything, and they swallowed so much saliva that their throats were numb, but they didn’t dare reach out to take any. They swallowed saliva and sucked their noses at the same time. Chen Cui Juan’s eyes hurt from watching them, so she broke off a small piece for each of them. “Alright, alright, go do whatever you need to do, why are you all gathered around here?

” These two kids, their mouths were so big that they leaked air. Chen Cui Juan wondered if her daughter would write some unspeakable things in her letter like last time, so she chased the two little guys away. Wang Xiu Lan was also eating peanut candy.

She had never eaten such delicious candy before. Unlike ordinary candy, which only had a sweet taste, it also had the crispness and crunchiness of peanuts. One bite, and the delicate peanuts exploded in her mouth, it was so delicious that it made her dizzy. No one in her family had ever eaten anything so delicious. Wang Xiu Lan began to feel a little restless, wanting to take two pieces back to her family. As soon as she had this thought, she was glared at by Chen Cui Juan. “

Yu Yu didn’t like living at home before, but now you’re eating the things Yu Yu sent back, you’re eating quite happily.” Wang Xiu Lan was so guilty that she squeezed out a smile. “Mom, I wasn’t in my right mind back then.” Chen Cui Juan didn’t want to talk to her anymore. She had figured it out, her eldest son and his wife were like donkeys. The benefits that Gu Ye, the military officer son-in-law, brought them were like a carrot dangling in front of them. Shen Da He finally started reading the letter. Chen Cui Ying’s smile exploded as soon as she heard her daughter’s letter.

When she heard that she had become a teacher and was pregnant, she laughed and clapped her legs. “I told you Yu Yu is like me, she can get along anywhere, look, she went to the army and became a teacher! How amazing!” Wang Xiu Lan didn’t expect her younger sister to actually become a teacher. And she was also pregnant. Her heart was filled with a complex mix of emotions.

 Why was her younger sister’s life so good? Her parents were good to her, she found a man with a promising future, and now she had such a good job, if she had a son, wouldn’t her life be complete? She was envious. When she read further, she heard Shen Zhi Yu say that the doctor praised her for having a good constitution. Now, Chen Cui Juan and Shen Da He were both proud. The couple looked at each other, and Chen Cui Juan said, “I’ll get her some more chili peppers and pickled vegetables this time, that girl loves to eat what I make, her father-in-law, you should run around more recently, see if you can get some mountain goods or something, dry them and send them to Yu Yu and the others.” Shen Da He lit another dry cigarette and started smoking, nodding.

 “Okay, I’ll go to the neighboring commune tomorrow and buy two grass carp, dry them and send them to her.” Fish is good for the body, and when dried, it’s delicious to just steam it. It also keeps well, so she can take some to work when she’s working, and eat it when she’s hungry. Chen Cui Juan thought more than Shen Da He. This woman is pregnant, her taste buds are strange, besides salty and spicy, she might also like sour and sweet. That night, Chen Cui Juan went to Shen Zhi Yu’s grandmother’s yard and got some apricots to take back, planning to dry them into apricot slices and send them along. At the same time, Gu Mu and the others also received the package. Seeing that it was peppercorns, chili peppers, and all that, no money or tickets, just that small bag of peanut brittle that was worth something. Except for Gu Mu, everyone else’s faces were a little bad.

 After reading the letter, Jin Feng Yan’s first reaction was, “My sister-in-law has become a teacher and earns her own salary, she doesn’t send back more money, let alone less money, why?” The others didn’t say anything. But they obviously thought the same thing. Gu Mu glared at her angrily. “She just became a teacher, she hasn’t even received her salary yet, what money is she going to send back? And didn’t she write in the letter that she just got there and needs to buy things, and now Yu Yu is pregnant, she also needs money, we all went through this, can’t you think from Yu Yu’s perspective?” Gu Mu’s beautiful words were better than anyone else’s. Her heart was full of tricks. Jin Feng Yan curled her lips, she didn’t know if Shen Zhi Yu was carrying a boy or a girl. It would be best if she had a girl, so the second child’s money would still be theirs, Hu Zi and Bao Zi’s. She looked at the house that was already half built. The house would be theirs eventually.

 ————

After she got pregnant, besides the eggs from home, Gu Ye would also buy some eggs back from time to time. Anyway, Shen Zhi Yu had to eat at least one egg every day. If she didn’t have a good appetite in the morning, he would boil it for her to put in her pocket, and eat it whenever she was hungry. The school in the army was a bit far from where they lived, and it took twenty minutes to walk there. Gu Ye actually got a bicycle, and rode it to pick her up! And he even tied a cushion to the bicycle seat so it wouldn’t be uncomfortable. Shen Zhi Yu was amazed; it was like she was getting to know him for the first time. You know, although the terrain in their garrison area was relatively flat, but outside the garrison, there were all kinds of uneven mountain roads. This bike could be ridden in their area.

 Gu Ye didn’t think there was anything wrong with his actions. Seeing Shen Zhi Yu hesitating and refusing to get on the bike, he wanted to directly hug her to the back. When she finally got on the bike, Gu Ye said, “I was going to take some time to teach you how to ride, but now you’re pregnant, you can’t, I’ll teach you after you give birth.” Shen Zhi Yu was already numb.

 Gu Ye’s actions were so grand that without them saying anything, everyone in the family compound knew she was pregnant. The first person to come and see her was Fu Chun Mei, who lived next door to them. Fu Chun Mei also brought two cakes she had made herself. As soon as she entered the room, she complained, “We live so close, I thought you were my best friend, but you became a teacher and didn’t tell me, you got pregnant and didn’t tell me, I heard it from someone else.

” Shen Zhi Yu was a little embarrassed. She wasn’t the kind of person who liked to show off. And Fu Chun Mei really loved to chat everywhere, telling her was like using a loudspeaker to tell everyone in every household. Fortunately, Fu Chun Mei didn’t keep going on about it. She came over, firstly to find out if Shen Zhi Yu was having a son or a daughter, and secondly, she had a new piece of gossip to tell her!
