The main thing is to make money, and the rest is just a matter of convenience.

Liu Fengzi looked at Hua Yan's dirty little face, which was not as pretty as Hua Jiao's when she was born, and she felt a little unhappy. It's okay if he's not a son, but he's not good-looking, so the mother-in-law will dislike him even more. Liu Fengzi thought to herself.

"Fengzi, give Hua Yan a nickname." Hua Jingxing looked at Hua Yan and liked her more and more.

"You name it, I'm a little tired." Liu Fengzi was not interested in Hua Yan's nickname at all.

"Today is the winter solstice, and we start counting the nine cold days, so let's call her Jiuer." Hua Jingxing said excitedly.

"Okay! As long as you're happy. Jingxing, I want to sleep for a while." Liu Fengzi was indeed a little tired.

Hua Jingxing tucked in the corners of the quilt for Liu Fengzi, then carried Hua Yan out and prepared to wash her.

Hua Yan did not look good at this time, and her whole body was dirty.

Hua Jingxing saw that there was still umbilical cord blood in Hua Yan's body, and was afraid that the child would catch a cold, so he gave Hua Yan a quick bath.

"Jiuer, are you hungry? Mommy is asleep. Daddy will heat up some goat milk for you." Hua Jingxing held Hua Yan in his arms as if she were a treasure.

Hua Yan was really hungry. She gulped down the milk and her eyes, which had been closed all this time, could no longer open.

"Jiuer is sleepy, go to sleep." Hua Jingxing's warm voice gently swept past Hua Yan's ears.

Hua Yan fell asleep.

At the same time Hua Yan was born, Taiji from Orchard Village had the same dream he had two days ago.

On the 19th, Taiji dreamed that a beautiful woman died in a car accident, and he woke up in a suffocating pain.

He didn't know why he felt so painful in his heart. When he woke up, he was sweating all over. He tried hard to recall the scene in his dream, but he only remembered that before the woman closed her eyes, she showed a bright and relieved smile.

Just now, Taiji was awakened by the pain again. He dreamed of that woman again, with the same brilliant smile and beautiful face.

But this time, Taiji felt like he was coming back from the dead. Although it was painful, he also had a hope for a new life.

Taiji was born on June 1974, 6, the summer solstice, a day when yang reaches its extreme and yin begins to grow. The weather gradually becomes hotter, representing the arrival of midsummer.

This is a very handsome little boy. We can tell now that he will be a handsome man in the future.

Dad Tai Ranzhi is the village party secretary of Guoyuan Village, mom Sheng Fang is a salesperson in the Guoyuan Village store, and younger brother Tai'an is a few months older than Huayan.

The family's financial situation is better than that of ordinary families, so Taiji has a confident and cheerful personality.

Taiji rubbed his eyes, tears welled up in his eyes. The little child looked out the window naively. The freshly fallen snow was a little dazzling under the sunlight, but it made the earth look unusually clean.

The barking of a puppy outside the house told Taiji that it was just a dream.

After looking at his younger brother Taian in the cradle, Taiji put on his shoes and got out of bed.

Now there are only him and his younger brother at home. When his mother comes back to feed his younger brother, she leaves and he is responsible for taking care of his younger brother.

After covering his brother with a blanket, Taiji opened the door and went out, leaving his little footprints in the snow.

Looking back, the close footprints gave him a familiar feeling. Maybe he would do the same thing every time it snowed.

"Wa! Wah!" A baby crying was heard.

"Jingxing, the baby is born. The baby looks healthy and cries so loudly." Aunt Wang said with a smile.

But in my heart I was thinking that Jingxing's wife would be despised again. She gave birth to three daughters in a row. Old Mrs. Hua would be so angry that she would beat people. What a miserable life she has.

"Mrs. Wang, is it a boy or a girl this time?" Old Mrs. Hua rushed in, her tone filled with anticipation and worry.

"Sister Hua, she's a pretty little girl." Aunt Wang said uncertainly.

"What? It's a girl again. This spendthrift woman has brought shame to the Hua family." Old Mrs. Hua said gritting her teeth.

"Grandma, what's wrong with being a girl? Aren't you a girl too?" Hua Yan looked at this annoying grandma and said in a bad tone.

Hua Yan has been despised in various ways since she was born, and she has long wanted to argue with this old lady, but the Ringwraiths have been persuading her to be patient.

"Get out of the way, you little girl who's here to lose money, what do you know?" He pushed Hua Yan aside.

Although Hua Yan was older than other children, she was only four years old. How could she withstand a push from old lady Hua?

Seeing Hua Yan about to fall to the ground, a pair of hands picked her up and said gently: "Jiu'er, are you okay?"

The person who spoke was Hua Yan's godmother Chu Xiu. She was the first person Hua Yan saw after she was born. She was extremely beautiful, with a pair of affectionate peach blossom eyes, but she had a cold personality.

"Auntie Chu, I'm fine." Hua Yan hugged Chu Xiu's neck and spoke softly, without the momentum she had just shown to Old Madam Hua.

"Mom, it's a different era now. Boys and girls are the same, and that's what the country promotes." Hua Jingxing said firmly.

Because ever since Hua Yan was born, he felt as if a ray of light had shone into his confused life, giving him hope.

"Auntie Hua, yes, Jiuer is no worse than any other boy. At least he has more prospects than those two brats in my family." Chu Xiu also advised her kindly.

"It's easy to talk without any pain in the waist. It turns out that you have two sons." Old Mrs. Hua glanced at Chu Xiu.

There was envy and resentment in her heart. At first, this woman loved her son and was pretty, but her family despised the Hua family for being poor, so she had to give up. So she married Liu Fengzi, who had nothing. Although she was pretty, she couldn't give birth to a son. Old Lady Hua thought so.

Chu Xiu originally wanted to persuade others, but she didn't expect to be confronted. Chu Xiu, who was not good at speaking and dealing with people, blushed at this time.

"Grandma, your parents don't like you either. You learned this from them." Hua Yan scolded Grandma Hua's entire family at once.

"Shut up, you unruly thing." After saying that, Old Lady Hua turned around and walked away.

Liu Fengzi looked at Hua Jingxing with tears in her eyes, wishing she could die on the spot.

"Jingxing, it's all my fault that I couldn't give birth to a son for the Hua family." Liu Fengzi's guilt was real.

But what she didn't know was that she was destined to have three daughters and no sons at all. In her previous life, she gave birth to the three Huayan sisters and then stopped having any more.

Because Hua Jingxing did not have the idea of ​​favoring boys over girls, and it would be difficult to raise too many children, so she stopped having children later.

"Fengzi, how can you be blamed for this? Children are given by God. Whether they are boys or girls, they are our treasures. Nuan'er and Jiu'er are the proof of this." Hua Jingxing said with a smile. It can be seen that he doesn't care about the gender at all.

Although Liu Fengzi was comforted, she still felt guilty because she had implicated her husband.

Aunt Wang had already cleaned the child and brought him to Liu Fengzi.

"This is a beautiful girl, no worse than her two sisters." Aunt Wang put the child on the kang.

"Thank you, Auntie Wang, you've worked hard." Hua Jingxing said as he handed the red envelope he had prepared in advance to Auntie Wang.

It was Hua Yan who taught Hua Jingxing how to make a red envelope, asking him to put his wallet in the red envelope to make it look elegant.

"It's not hard. Seeing the mother and daughter safe is the happiest thing for me as a midwife." Aunt Wang put the red envelope in her pocket and said goodbye.

"Fengzi, give the child a nickname." Hua Jingxing said, looking at the child.

"Now it's autumn harvest, and we have everything. Let's just call her Guoer." Liu Fengzi said with a smile.

This child looks good, unlike Hua Yan who looked dirty when she was just born. Liu Fengzi thought as she looked at the child.

Guo'er, Huayan's younger sister and Huarong's nickname, was born on September 1982, 9, the autumnal equinox, a time when fruits are abundant, so it is very appropriate to call her Guo'er.

This was the woman who cried heart-wrenchingly at Hua Yan’s funeral in the previous life, and she was just born at this time.

Hua Yan knew that this was the child she had taken care of for her entire life in her previous life.

"Jingxing, I'm tired. After I feed the baby, I want to take a nap." Liu Fengzi felt unhappy when she saw Chu Xiu, and she even disliked Hua Yan who was close to Chu Xiu.
