Chapter 37 Section 5

The sex of the fetus was disclosed at home, and Ding Yi began to prepare for the birth of his daughter generously. She went to buy some delicate woolen yarns, pink, light yellow, water green or light blue, to knit sweaters, trousers, hats and capes for her daughter.She used to knit some simple patterns, but now she bought a book on knitting sweaters, chose a few beautiful patterns and patterns, and knitted them accordingly. It just so happens that the school is on winter vacation and she doesn’t have to go to work. She is lying on the sofa every day, knitting a sweater while watching TV, or going to the balcony to bask in the sun, lying on the bed and sleeping late. The baby moves in her stomach from time to time, and she chats with the baby from time to time. A few words, I feel very comfortable.

"Bao Yazi" was very surprised when he saw the little sweater and woolen pants she knitted: "Daughter-in-law, you are really capable!" She proudly said: "I can do it, right? You are so lucky to be able to marry me in this lifetime." He didn't answer, just smiled. She held up the little sweater she was knitting and asked, "Does it look good?" "It's pretty. But if it's my son, the color is too bright." She didn't answer, and thought to herself, what else do you need to say? It's time to name her daughter, she thought about it, and finally decided to name her daughter "Man Ding Ding". Now girls in City A are popular with names with overlapping sounds, such as "Sisi" and "Jingjing". cute. "Ding" is her surname again, which finally fulfills her desire to have a word in her daughter's name.

Worried that he would stick to the "Wu" school, she thought of a lot of reasons in advance to persuade him.When she told him the name, he agreed without thinking: "That's a good name!" She thought he was Ai Wu Ji Wu, and was very moved, and wanted to take the opportunity to squeeze out a few words of love confession: "Why is it just 'Ding'?" "Ding means son. She is called this name, and she will definitely bring a son." I see! She joked, "Then you married me because my surname is Ding?" "No, I don't like your last name."

She punched him: "Why don't you like it?" "The fortune teller said that this surname is not good for the husband's family." "You still secretly found someone to tell our fortune?" "I didn't look for it, it was my mother who looked for the uncle on the mountain." "Uncle can tell fortunes?" "He can do everything." She said contemptuously: "I don't believe he can tell fortunes, it must be nonsense." "He really knows fortune-telling, very smart." "Have you verified it with DNA?"

He was puzzled: "How to verify with DNA?" "You haven't verified it, how do you know he's right?" "He's good at counting." "what's the result?" "He said that your surname is not good for our Man family. Our surname is Man, and your surname is Ding. Once you nail our Man, it will be nailed, and you will be dissatisfied." She snorted: "Hmph, let me say he's talking nonsense! I'm not a nail, how could I nail your whole family?" He seemed to have just realized that "nail" and "ding" are not the same word. After a moment of silence, he argued, "It's the same sound."

"Then I can also say that those of you with full surnames are uncivilized barbarians." He immediately became unhappy: "Our surname is Man, not Man." "It's a sound." He seemed less sensitive to tone of voice, pleading: "But not a word." "Then my surname is not the same thing? I am Ding of A, B, B, Ding, not a nail." He had nothing to say, so he gave up. She chased after him: "What did the uncle on the mountain figure out for us?" "I won't say anymore, you won't believe it anyway." "It's because you don't believe that you should say it. If he is right, why don't I believe it?"

"He said our first child would be a daughter and our second would be a son." "When did he tell our fate?" "It was calculated after you went to my house for the first time." She was taken aback: "Oh? Really? Then forget it? Was it really calculated by him?" He boasted: "I said that the uncle is very good at calculating, right?" "Since our first child is a daughter, what are you doing with the artifact?" He stammered: "But...it can...can be changed." "Then do you believe in fortune-telling or not?" He didn't know what she meant by that, and looked at her in bewilderment.

She explained: "Since the magic weapon can change the sex of the fetus, fortune-telling is useless." "It works," he insisted. "Have you ever thought about whether you can go abroad?" He was taken aback by the question, because the uncle must have missed this point, because the uncle's "divine eyes" can't see that far, or he doesn't know about going abroad at all, maybe he doesn't even know that there are countries other than China in the world.But he defended the uncle and said: "Didn't my mother ask?" She believes this, because her mother may not have heard of going abroad, but if a person can really calculate the fate of others, do they still need to be asked?If you can figure it out without asking, that's a skill.

But she didn't want to irritate him further, it was hard to reach the current harmonious fish-water relationship, don't let it be ruined by a few words. During the Spring Festival of that year, "Bao Yazi" didn't go back to Manjialing. He said it was because he had to be on duty at the hospital during the Spring Festival, but she suspected that it was because he hadn't completed the task assigned by the master on the mountain. Dodging. No matter what the reason was, she raised her hands in support of his decision. It would be better if he never went back to Manjialing in the future, and he would be less influenced by the men on the mountain.She can eliminate the influence he has been affected so far, but if he keeps going back and being affected, it will be troublesome, and she will not be able to eliminate it in her entire life.

It's a pity that her father-in-law and mother-in-law are dissatisfied with the environment and soil of city A, so they can't live in city A, or she can simply bring her father-in-law and mother-in-law to city A, so that he doesn't have to go back to Manjialing anymore, and someone will help her take care of the children, that would be great ! That Spring Festival made her very busy, because it was the first Spring Festival she celebrated after she set up her own family, and she had to create some Spring Festival atmosphere. She has lived in this world for more than 20 years, and she has always spent the Spring Festival with her parents. The overall situation is determined by her parents. She only helps run errands, and then helps eat and drink. She also brings a group of classmates and friends to eat and drink at home.But this year is different, she is married and has her own small family, so she can't spend the Spring Festival at her parents' house.

She suddenly felt indomitable, very fresh, planning how to spend this Spring Festival every day, who to invite to dinner, what dishes to prepare, what raw materials to buy; who to eat at, and what gifts to buy , how many red envelopes to seal; and the traditional gifts and snacks for the Spring Festival, you have to worry about preparing. She specially found a small notebook, wrote and scratched it, and arranged things for the Spring Festival. Every time she wrote the shopping list, she would send "Bao Yazi" to buy those complicated and delicate precious things, and she would do it herself , went shopping with him, busy all day long, feeling like a little housewife. And he is also very interested in this matter. It is probably the first time to set up a separate family for the Spring Festival. It is the first time that he feels like the "head of the household". , who will return to visit the day after tomorrow, who will return to visit the day after tomorrow, as serious as doing scientific research. They had a busy and fulfilling life during that Spring Festival. As long as he was not on duty, they were busy hiring people and being hired.His friends over there are mostly fellow villagers around Manjialing, and many of them come to work in City A. They are worse than him in every aspect, so they are naturally envious of him. The house is big, well-decorated, and his wife is Being a city resident and a university teacher who teaches foreign languages ​​is really enviable. Amidst the envy, "Bao Yazi" felt extremely good about herself, her face was very radiant, and when she hugged her at night, she always said gratefully: "Daughter-in-law, you are so kind, you make me look so good." When the spring was warm and the flowers were blooming, their daughter Man Ding Ding was born, a fat doll weighing seven and a half catties, very cute, with big, black and bright eyes, a little beauty and a little princess recognized by the obstetrics department. It's fun to be a dad!Every time he came to the delivery room, he would always hear those female nurses greeting him from a long distance away: "Doctor Man, are you here to see your little princess again?" And our Doctor Man was really like the princess's father, and replied proudly: "Yes, yes, did you send her out?" "It's been sent out, it's been sent out, Doctor Man has come in person, can you not send it out?" The people in the same delivery room also praised Man Dingding with two birds with one stone: "Oh, this child is cast in the same mold as his father. He is really expected to be a movie star." "A daughter has food like a father. This child will not worry about food and clothing when he grows up." "Doctor Man, I have made an agreement with you. When the child grows up in the future, our two families will be in-laws." Every time Dr. Man came, he was admired and complimented by others. From the moment he entered the door, he was grinning from ear to ear, as if his mouth had widened a lot. Ding Yi saw it in his eyes and was delighted in his heart. It seems that "Bao Yazi" used to be so rare about Manjialing because he didn't really integrate into the life of City A, thinking that people all over the world are like Manjialing people life.Although he has been studying and working in City A for many years, he has always been a bachelor, and he doesn't know what family life in City A is like.When he gets used to it in the future, he will naturally forget about Manjialing. The following days are both busy and fulfilling. There are windy and rainy days, and there are sunny days; there are days when the child is sick, and there are days when the child is not sick; there are days when the mood is good, and there are days when the mood is not. day.But no big waves. Before the child was three years old, she never went to Manjialing again.Every time he goes back, he hopes that she and the child can go back with him, but she always refuses with various reasons, and those reasons are also real reasons, such as the road is far away, the transportation is inconvenient, there is no good toilet, etc. Wait.But she didn't say the most fundamental reason: she was worried about the safety of the child. On that mountain where the sky is high and the emperor is far away, everyone is so patriarchal. Who knows what will happen? When the child was three years old, "May 1st", he asked her to take the child back to Manjialing to play with him, saying that now the pond behind the mountain has been developed into a hot spring resort. There are not many of them, but the preliminary development projects are still in place, the road has been repaired, and the car goes all the way to the foot of Manjialing Mountain. Originally, a road was to be built all the way to Hot Spring, but the county inspected it and felt that Manjialing The mountains are high and the slopes are steep. If you want to build a road, you have to build a winding road, which goes around and takes several times the distance.There is only one hot spring on the ridge, and there are no other tourist resources. It is not worth the effort to build the winding road. It is better to use the local surplus labor. Tourists use sedan chairs to carry tourists up and down the mountain. There are many tourists, and the bearers earn more. Earn less, in short, the county will not suffer. She was still hesitating, but he said again: "Grandpa and grandma miss Ding Ding." She had nothing to answer, she couldn't say "They want Ding Ding, so they come to see her in city A", that would be tantamount to asking grandparents to risk their lives, it's too unreasonable. Finally, he took out a trump card: "Grandma is sick, you must see Ding Ding. If you don't want to go, I can take her back alone." She thought it would be even worse for him to take Ding Ding back alone. Her daughter never left her, and she could only sleep in her arms at night. Besides, she didn't want to go to Manjialing because she was afraid that Ding Ding would be hurt. How could he let him How about taking Ding Ding back alone?But if she refused firmly, and she was afraid that he would take a risk, she decided to take the child and go back to Manjialing with him for the "May Day". She only told her parents about this, but didn't tell her sister.Parents don't say no, they always know that there will be arrangements for "May 1st", so that they can't find anyone when they go to eat.But with my sister, I can hide it if I can, lest my sister worry.
