Mr. Lu's delicate bag

Chapter 179 Don't rush to make a decision

Shen Jiaojiao had been sitting for a long time, and the mat was not too thick, so she felt a little painful. She stood up, tied an apron on purpose, and wanted to try barbecue. She walked to the rack, listened to the aunt teaching her, and then she carefully grilled two bunches of leeks.

After Lu Shize finished his work, he and Chu Xia walked towards the crowd. Lu Shize's mother naturally stood up politely and asked Chu Xia to sit down and eat something. Chu Xia couldn't refuse, nor did she want to refuse, so she sat next to Lu Shize.

Looking at the old lady of the Shen family, he hurriedly raised his hand to greet her, "Hello, sorry to bother you. You are Jiaojiao's grandmother, right? You two look so much alike."

Lu Shize's mother probably knew Chu Xia's identity, so she introduced her to Grandma Shen, "She is Shize's friend. She runs a media company and has many celebrities and artists under her name."

Auntie came over to help pour the fruit tea. Chu Xia thanked her and picked up the plate handed to her by Lu Shize's mother. Inside was a bunch of mushroom slices. "This smells so good..."

While watching a movie on the terrace, eating barbecue, drinking tea and sipping preserved fruits, Lu's mother asked her if she was busy. Chu Xia naturally shook her head and said, "Fortunately, I have finished my work for today. I just came here to ask Shi Ze for some advice."

Lu Shize's mother looked at her with a smile and said, "Then stay. As the saying goes, it's better to arrive at the right time than to arrive early. You are lucky enough to have such a good appetite." Then she asked the aunt to pass a few more plates of barbecue over.

Lu Shize received another message from a friend. When he clicked on it, he saw a photo of Han Shuda and his wife in the car with the text, "Let's go for barbecue."

Lu Shize directly pressed the voice button and said, "If it's not too far, I recommend a newly opened restaurant to you. Go and try it."

Han Shuda was overjoyed when he received the message. He quickly handed it to his wife Min Xincheng, who had just fastened her seat belt. "Lu Shize recommended this. Do you want to go?"

Min Xincheng clicked on it and took a look at the location. "It's OK, but it's a bit far. Will we be out for too long? Mom will worry about us."

Han Shuda smiled gently, "You... my mother nags like that, and only a good daughter-in-law like you can tolerate it. And you still think that she is worried about us. Well, I will tell my mother later, it's okay."

The act of forcing a baby to have a baby is itself objectionable. There is no saying that everyone's life progress must be exactly the same. Before, Han Shuda's mother was straightforward and somewhat aggressive, but it seemed that after her husband had a good talk with his mother, the other party's tone was much gentler this time.

Min Xincheng seemed to be able to accept many of the things she said today, "Actually, what Mom meant, I think..."

"Hey, stop!" Han Shuda quickly interrupted his wife, started the car, and turned the steering wheel. "Chengzi, listen to me, you, because we have a good relationship, and you also saw that I did some ideological work with my mother...so, it's easy for you to soften your heart.

Were you just about to say that it's not bad to get pregnant early? "

Min Xincheng looked at her husband's profile and nodded.

Han Shuda continued, “You see, you are too soft-hearted. When there are too many things from the outside world, they weigh down your own heart.

This won't work. You need to calm down and think about what you really think.

I think that to truly love someone is to give her the right to make all the choices she wants, rather than having me repeatedly portray myself as a good husband and my mom as a good mother-in-law, and then adding to the weight in your heart.

It seems like you have a lot of choices, but in fact, you are still influenced by these external things.

I just want to say one thing: don’t be moved by us, think more about it.”

"So, Shuda, do you want a baby?"

"To be honest, I do want to. But..." Han Shuda glanced at his wife briefly, then looked back at the front of the car and drove seriously, "However, pregnancy and childbirth cause too much harm to women. It depends on your opinion.

Also, if you still don’t want to, I can accept that.”

"So that means Dink?"

Han Shuda nodded. "When we got married, I told you that a partner must come before children. Also, I've seen how much effort you've put into your store. The biggest difference between men and women is that if a man wants to have children, his career basically doesn't need to be delayed at all. If he works a little harder, he can even gain a good reputation. 'Look, how ambitious this man is!'... But, I know that once you women decide to have children, you will give up many things for them, including your career, of course, but not just your career... Once you make a sacrifice, it seems that others don't see it.

No one would praise a mother, "You are so great. You stopped a certain project for your child." It seems that everyone assumes that women should give in to these things.

So, thinking about it this way, it’s very unfair to you, and I feel bad for you.”

Min Xincheng did have several moments just now when she wanted to compromise and include pregnancy and childbirth in her plans for next year, but in return, some other career plans would have to be shelved or abandoned directly.

Last time, I took 10 gold bars and went back to my parents' house, saying that they were gifts from my mother-in-law. I don’t like gold jewelry, so I wanted to give them directly to my mother.

My parents hurriedly pushed it away and said we couldn’t have them.

"What nonsense is this? Your mother-in-law bought this for you. It's not just some food or drink, which are consumables. We'll just eat them. But these are gold bars, and there are so many of them. How can we take them?"

Min Xincheng also said at the time that her husband also agreed. They said that since the gift was given to me, it was mine and I could distribute it however I wanted, but her parents still insisted that she could not accept it.

Before leaving, her mother pulled her over, stroked the back of her hand, and advised, "Son, to be honest, your husband treats you very well... You said that you are married now, so you should have children. It is just a necessary process in life. You should think about it.

We're not saying you have to have a baby right now, but we should have this in mind, right?"

In addition, her mother-in-law came today and said a few words. Min Xincheng almost wavered and almost blurted out, "Then let's have a child..." Fortunately, her husband interrupted her immediately.

"Okay, I'll think about it and not make impulsive decisions."

Han Shuda handed the phone to Min Xincheng and said, "Send a message to Lao Lu and tell him that we are going there. Thank you for the recommendation."

Min Xincheng looked at her husband again and said, "Maybe, the year after next, we should consider having children? By then, my store should have become a chain."

The car obviously slowed down. The man looked at his wife, and they just glanced at each other quickly. The man was about to drive and looked forward again, but the corners of their lips couldn't help but rise.

After a while, Han Shuda stopped at a certain intersection while waiting for the traffic light to turn red. He reached out and held his wife's hand. "Chengzi, what do you say? When your partner opens a chain store, we can become parents."

Min Xincheng chuckled and said, "Fool."

The man couldn't help laughing again and clenched his hands tighter, "Then I will start naming our child now."

"Isn't this... too fast?"

"No hurry, let's first pick a few more boys and girls, at least 10 as backup, right? Then ask a Taoist priest to help us take a look and eliminate some that are not so good, and then after the baby is born, we will make the final decision based on the birth date and horoscope."

"No, Han Shuda, are you still superstitious?"

"Hehe, if you believe it, it exists. If you don't believe it, it doesn't exist. You have to pay more attention to children's affairs."

Shen Jiaojiao finished the barbecue and brought it over. She sat next to her grandmother, took the abalone, bitter melon and pork ribs soup handed to her by Aunt Xue, and handed it to her grandmother, "Be careful, it's hot, grandma."

Shen Jiaojiao handed the soup to Grandma Lu again, and the other party hurriedly said, "Don't get burned, be careful."

Everyone was served soup. The barbecue was mainly for the fun and aroma. Then cold tea and soup were served, both of which were for clearing away heat and detoxifying.

Chu Xia found a few topics to talk to Ji Yalan. They both talked about their time in Europe and some things they experienced together, such as Christmas one year, when they both went to the same neighborhood to spend the night.

The purpose was not to strike up a conversation, but to add Ji Yalan as a WeChat friend. In fact, Chu Xia knew what she was thinking, and Ji Yalan on the other side must have been thinking the same thing... They both regarded each other as a potential rival in love.

Being superficial friends first is the first step.

Shen Jiaojiao had a headache for some reason. She drank a few spoonfuls of soup and ate a few slices of bitter melon, then raised her hand and gently rubbed her temple. The man sitting opposite her saw this and leaned forward, asking hurriedly, "What's wrong?"

Shen Jiaojiao shook her head and said, "Maybe I'm a little tired."

The man stood up, walked to the opposite side, squatted down, and naturally touched her forehead with the back of his hand, just like he had done for the past ten years.

Chu Xia and Ji Yalan, who were chatting animatedly, couldn't help but pause when they saw this.

This guy...all his attention is on Shen Jiaojiao.

The man felt it carefully, fortunately the little guy didn't have a fever, "If you are really tired, just get up, let's go back"... Then he looked at Grandma Shen, "Auntie, stay at Jiaojiao's place tonight, and you'll live there from now on."

Shen Jiaojiao felt a little unwell, so she and her grandmother went to say goodbye to Grandma Lu first. Grandma Lu also stood up and said, "Oh, I can't hold on any longer. Young people continue to eat, drink and have fun. I will go down with you."
