Chapter 2579 Raising a Daughter VS Raising a Son
Ning Yun Chu said to her, "When you first got pregnant with Bei Bei, I didn't believe you weren't afraid. When you and your husband were trying to conceive, you would go on trips and specifically choose places with famous temples. Every time you went to a temple, you would go in to pray, draw lots, and make wishes."
"You dare say you didn't wish for a daughter? And you're talking about us?"
Hai Tong smiled, pursing her lips.
Cheng Lingling carried Beibei into the pavilion. Haitong got up and tried to take her daughter in, but Cheng Lingling pushed her hand away. "Haitong, let me hold her. Give me a tissue, I'll wipe Beibei's sweat."
"I was covered in sweat from playing."
Haitong had no choice but to hand her a tissue to help Beibei wipe her sweat.
"It was a bit chilly when I woke up today, so I put an extra layer on Beibei. Let me help her take one off."
Cheng Lingling sat down and wiped Beibei's sweat as she said, "She's covered in sweat right now, don't take off her clothes first, let me wipe her sweat."
"Aunt Cheng."
Beibei called out sweetly.
"Hey."
Cheng Lingling's voice had all become a pinched tone.
"Beibei, are you tired from playing? Would you like something to eat?"
Beibei said, "I'm tired from playing, I need to rest for a bit."
"Okay, let's rest for a bit, Beibei. Aunt Cheng can hold you, you don't need Mommy to hold you."
The little girl tilted her head up, her big, dark eyes blinking, and said, "But, Aunt Cheng, I want my mom to hold me."
"Is it uncomfortable for Aunt Cheng to hold you?"
"It's comfortable, but I still want my mom."
Cheng Lingling laughed and said, "A biological child is a biological child, and will always have a mother."
"Beibei, give Aunt Cheng a sweet treat, and Aunt Cheng will let your mom hug you."
Beibei immediately kissed Cheng Lingling on the cheek.
Cheng Lingling returned the girl to her husband with satisfaction.
Just as Beibei was returned to Haitong, Junfei rushed in and crashed headfirst into his mother's arms, so hard that Cheng Lingling almost fell backward.
She quickly pushed her son away and said, "Junfei, how many times have I told you not to run so fast and so violently? Control your strength. Luckily, your mother can sit still. Anyone slightly weaker would not be able to withstand your bump."
"Look at you, you're covered in sweat. Where's your jacket? Are you even fit for this? It's so dirty, how many times have you rolled around on the ground?"
As Cheng Lingling talked about her son, she took a tissue to wipe his sweat and patted the dust off his clothes.
"I got hot after playing for a while, so I took off my jacket. I don't remember where I put it. I'll find it later."
"Mom, I want to drink water."
Cheng Lingling quickly poured him a glass of warm water, which he gulped down like a cow drinking water.
He turned to run away again, but his mother grabbed him.
"Take a break. Look at your face, it's as red as Guan Yu's."
Cheng Lingling pulled her son back, preventing him from going to play again.
Junfei had no choice but to sit down.
Upon seeing Zeng Xiaoya, he asked curiously, "Mom, who is this pretty lady?"
“This is Aunt Zeng. You can’t call her sister, you have to call her aunt. She’s a friend of your Uncle Zhan Ba.”
“Oh, I know, she’s the baby’s eighth aunt. As soon as I arrived, the baby told me that he would soon have an eighth aunt.”
Junfei's words made Zeng Xiaoya blush.
Cheng Lingling said helplessly to everyone, "Look at this, this is the difference between a son and a daughter. Look at Beibei, so quiet and gentle, with a sweet and clear voice that melts your heart."
"This kid barged in like a bull, sigh."
"Mom, I like Beibei very much too."
Junfei said, "Don't worry, Mommy likes Beibei."
He likes Beibei.
"Beibei, come on, Fei-ge will take you to play."
Junfei got up and went to hug Beibei.
Beibei stretched out her hands to him, willing to let him carry her.
The adults stopped stopping the two little ones.
After stepping out of the pavilion, Junfei put Beibei down and said, "Beibei, you're a bit heavy. Even I can't carry you. Come on, I'll carry you on my back. Carrying you will take us a long way."
Cheng Lingling: "...Luckily, Beibei is still young. If she were a little older and listened to that brat, she could slap him. He's implying that Beibei is fat."
Hai Tong laughed and said, "Bei Bei is growing up day by day, and his weight is naturally increasing as well. Jun Fei is so young, it's normal for him to get tired after holding him for a while. Ling Ling, stop picking on your son."
"I think Junfei is very good."
"He's a rascal, not as sensible and steady as your baby. When he grows up, he might not be as mature as your baby."
The baby is the eldest grandson of the Zhan family, which makes him special.
Junfei is ranked fifth among the younger generation in the Jun family.
In the future, the baby may have to shoulder the heavy responsibilities of the Zhan family, but Junfei doesn't have to. He can do what he likes without pressure.
He has several older brothers and sisters.
The baby is the eldest; he will only be a support for his younger siblings.
Ning Yun Chu said, "The child is still young, so it's hard to say. We'll know who is mature and who is not when they grow up."
"You can tell what a person will be like at eighty by the time they are three; I've seen through that kid's nature long ago."
"Fine, as long as he's healthy, safe and happy, that's enough. I don't expect him to achieve anything great. Anyway, his father and I have enough to support him for the rest of his life."
If their children and grandchildren don't squander the family fortune, the money she and her husband have earned is enough for several generations to live comfortably.
"That's right, our greatest hope as parents is for our children to be healthy and happy."
A little while later, Zhan Yue came over with food and drinks.
After drinking a cup of tea, he said to the four women, "Sisters-in-law, you chat, I'm going to play with the children."
"Xiaoya has prepared gifts for the children. She will give them to them when she goes back inside."
Hai Tong and the others said that Zeng Xiaoya was too kind and that she had spent too much money.
Zeng Xiaoya said, "It's just a toy. I'm glad the children like it. Last time I decided to come on short notice, and I didn't bring any gifts. I came empty-handed, but I picked so many fresh fruits from your house to take back."
She always felt indebted to the people of Zhan Yue.
"Yes, there are fruits, Lingling. After lunch, I'll take you to the fruit mountain to pick fruits. They're fresh and delicious."
Cheng Lingling said, "Fine, I won't stand on ceremony with you."
"Please don't stand on ceremony with us, we're practically family now."
The group of people looked at each other and smiled.
Half an hour later, Haitong received a call from the housekeeper, telling her that lunch was ready.
She then said to everyone, "The housekeeper said it's time to eat, and told the children to go back. They've played here for most of the day and had a great time."
She was the first to get up and walk out of the pavilion to greet the group of children.
Several children ran over one after another, all of them covered in sweat and with flushed faces.
Cheng Lingling naturally helped Junyan wipe her sweat first, but after only a couple of wipes, Junyan took the tissue herself and said to Cheng Lingling, "Fourth Aunt, I can do it myself."
"Mom, can you wipe my sweat?"
Junfei leaned closer and asked his mother to wipe his sweat.
Cheng Lingling tapped his forehead dismissively, "You're already a primary school student, why do you still need your mother to wipe your sweat? Wipe it yourself."
"Mom is biased; she only dotes on my older sister."
Junfei made a comment about his mother.
But I've gotten used to it.
At home, he felt that the elders loved his older sister the most, and oh, the brothers also loved their sister.
