First spoiled, then love

Chapter 540: Living Together Until Old Age (11000)

Time flies, and December is over in the blink of an eye.

Christmas is approaching, and Xiaoru's belly is starting to grow bigger, even bigger than Xiaoyuan's belly when she was pregnant earlier.

Even when Yang Bingbing came to her house to look for her, she couldn't help but sigh, "When I was pregnant to your stage, my belly was far smaller than yours. The power of twins is just different."

Tang Xiaoru said proudly, "That's right. After all, I have two babies in my belly, so it shouldn't be bigger than the average pregnant woman's belly."

Yang Bingbing said worriedly, "Xiao Ru, when you give birth, just have a cesarean section instead of a natural birth. When I gave birth to one, I felt like I was being torn apart. You are going to have two at once. If you give birth naturally, it will be very painful for you."

Tang Xiaoru gently touched her belly and murmured, "We'll see when the time comes, but I prefer a natural birth. In this way, there will be no scars on my belly. I don't like scars."

Yang Bingbing rolled her eyes. "Which is more important, life or beauty? Anyway, if you don't believe in superstition, you can try natural birth first, and then cesarean section if it doesn't work."

"Hey, that's a good idea." Tang Xiaoru smiled and said, "But I will definitely have to wait until Xiaoyuan gives birth before I can have the baby. When Xiaoyuan gives birth, we can go together to cheer her up."

"That's for sure." Yang Bingbing reached out and gently stroked Tang Xiaoru's belly, looking forward to it. "I really don't know what my goddaughter and godson will look like. They say daughters look like their fathers. If my goddaughter looks like Chen Qingrong, then it's all over."

Tang Xiaoru smiled and said, "Fortunately, my husband has not returned from his hometown yet. Otherwise, if he heard you say this at home, he would definitely argue with you again."

"I'm telling the truth. Look at our Qiu. When she was just born, I thought she looked like me. But now she looks more and more like her father. She's starting to get uglier."

"Nonsense, how can you say your own daughter has become ugly?"

"But then again, you hardly go to the company now, and you stay at home to take care of your baby. How come your Chen Qingrong dares to leave you at home? What is he doing back home? Is there something urgent?"

Yang Bingbing asked curiously at this time.

Although Chen Qingrong was very self-deprecating, in Yang Bingbing's opinion, Chen Qingrong still fulfilled the responsibilities of a qualified husband. No matter before or after Xiaoru became pregnant, he took good care of Xiaoru with all his heart, and she, as her best friend, also saw this.

Therefore, with Xiaoru's belly getting bigger and bigger, Chen Qingrong shouldn't leave home so suddenly and leave her alone at home. So why did he go home?

Tang Xiaoru chuckled and said, "On the winter solstice a few days ago, my mother-in-law and her family sent us a lot of things. I thought Christmas was just a few days away, so I asked my husband to pick up my father-in-law, mother-in-law, grandparents and others for a reunion."

"Hey, but doesn't Chen Qingrong's father also have a car?"

"Yes, but there is not enough room for so many people. My parents-in-law, my grandparents, and Chen Qingrong's grandmother, that's five people in total. And this time, there are also several aunts and cousins ​​from Chen Qingrong's family who want to come and see me, so I asked Chen Qingrong to bring them all over as well."

"Since I became pregnant, I haven't been back to Chen Qingrong's hometown. His family is a large family that values ​​kinship very much. Since I'm pregnant, his family must send a representative to visit me, otherwise it would be impolite. Of course, this is what Chen Qingrong told me. I personally think it's unnecessary."

Yang Bingbing said with some envy, "You have a good relationship with your mother-in-law's family, unlike me."

She even sighed when she came to this point.

Tang Xiaoru was a little curious. "What's wrong with you? I remember that there was nothing wrong between you and your parents-in-law. I have met them many times and they are all very friendly people. Besides, didn't you also say that they love you very much?"

If Yan Mo's parents were still trying to make trouble and find fault with a woman like Yang Bingbing who was both famous and wealthy, then it could only be said that this family was not worthy of Yang Bingbing at all.

However, Yan Mo's parents are obviously not that kind of people, so Tang Xiaoru was very puzzled.

Yang Bingbing shook her head helplessly. "Of course it's not my parents-in-law who have a problem with me. It's their relatives. One of them wanted me to help bring one of their daughters into the entertainment industry. That family boasted that their daughter was prettier than Fan Bingbing and had talent."

"As soon as I took one look at her, I knew she wasn't destined to be a star. It's not that she's ugly. She's pretty, with a nice figure. But she's too ordinary. She can't leave a big impression on people. Even if I force her into the circle, she won't be popular."

"I've been in this industry for so many years, I know who will be popular and who won't. In our industry, being popular is a mystery. It doesn't mean you can be popular just by looking good. There is no shortage of handsome men and beautiful women in the entertainment industry."

Tang Xiaoru agreed with this. "You hit the nail on the head. There are indeed many handsome men and beautiful women in your entertainment industry. Moreover, there are also many who have good acting skills and good looks, but they just can't become popular."

After a pause, she asked again, "So because of this incident, you had some unpleasantness with that relative's family?"

Yang Bingbing shrugged, "That's right, but luckily my parents-in-law are on my side and told me not to bother with them. I didn't bother with them because they are relatives of the old Yan family. Otherwise, hmph."

Tang Xiaoru smiled and changed the subject, "Okay, okay, don't be angry anymore. My husband won't be back until tomorrow, so you can stay with me tonight. Your old Yan and your parents will be watching over you during the Mid-Autumn Festival, so it won't be a problem."

"No problem. It just so happens that we haven't had a night chat with our best friends for a long time." Yang Bingbing smiled and hugged Tang Xiaoru tightly.

Tang Xiaoru added, "My mother will bring me some chicken soup tonight, so you can have some with her then."

Yang Bingbing's face turned green immediately. "Ah? Why does your mother also like to feed you chicken soup? Do all mothers in the world feed their daughters chicken soup after they get pregnant? No, no, no, I won't help you with that. That stuff is too greasy."

"You have to help me with this, that's why I asked you to stay tonight."

"Fuck, you scheming girl, you tricked me again!"

Lin Yue did come in the evening.

Seeing that Yang Bingbing was there, Lin Yue was very happy and took her to chat about family matters. She also asked about their children and asked her to give Xiaoru some guidance.

Yang Bingbing was very puzzled, "Auntie, Xiaoru has no problem at all, why should I advise her?"

Tang Xiaoru spread her hands helplessly, "Don't listen to my mother's nonsense. She is worried that I will suffer from postpartum depression, so she asked you to help in advance. Bingbing, you are here. Tell my mother if you suffered from postpartum depression after giving birth?"

Yang Bingbing smiled, "Absolutely not, Auntie, don't worry, it varies from person to person. As for Xiaoru, don't you know more about it than I do? I don't have postpartum depression, so how could she?"

"Besides, we still have Chen Qingrong. If you are really worried, just let Xiaoru beat Chen Qingrong every day after she gives birth. Just vent your anger a few times. I also disliked Old Yan in my family after I gave birth. After he beat me up, I felt much better."

"Hahaha."

Lin Yue couldn't help laughing as well.

Lin Yue also stayed to rest together in the evening.

Chen Qingrong also called Tang Xiaoru and said, "Wife, I will be home around 11 or 12 tomorrow morning. Please wait for me at home. You won't be lonely soon."

Tang Xiaoru smiled and said, "It's okay, take your time. I'm not lonely at home. Bingbing and her mother are coming to our house tonight. I'm very happy."

Chen Qingrong snorted and pretended to be dissatisfied, "Hehe, when they were not there, you kept saying how nice it was to have me at home. Now that they are gone, you don't need me anymore, right? You are such a heartless woman."

Tang Xiaoru blushed, "Oh, how could I? You are the most important to me. I can't leave anyone without you."

"I can't leave anyone without you~" Yang Bingbing, who had just walked in, suddenly became sarcastic, "Tsk tsk, why don't I just go to the next room and sleep with my aunt tonight? So as not to disturb the sweet love between you two young couples at night."

"No, I was just chatting with Chen Qingrong." Tang Xiaoru smiled awkwardly and said to the other end of the phone, "I'm going to hang up now, you should also go to bed early."

"Wait a minute." Chen Qingrong stopped her, "Uncle Sun told me that Auntie will give birth next month at the latest. We have to go over to see her then."

Tang Xiaoru hummed, "That's as it should be. Auntie should be giving birth soon, so we can go together then."

"Okay, I'll hang up first. Good night. I love you."

"Hang up."

The phone hangs up.

Yang Bingbing then lifted the quilt and went to bed, "Which aunt of yours is going to give birth?"

Tang Xiaoru said casually, "It's Sun Cheng's mother. She's expected to give birth next month."

"Is that so?" Yang Bingbing smacked her lips. "It's not easy for older women to give birth. I hope God blesses Sun Cheng's mother to have a smooth delivery."

Although she hated Sun Cheng when he was alive, she didn't hate him to the point of hatred. Even if she really hated him, he was dead, so what was there to hate?
Now that Sun Cheng's mother is taking the risk of giving birth to a child at an advanced age, Yang Bingbing naturally prays from the bottom of her heart that she will be safe. Sometimes a child means hope to a family.

The next day when we woke up, it started snowing, but unfortunately, the snow was not heavy.

Tang Xiaoru suddenly remembered that Chen Qingrong's family was coming over today, and she suddenly became a little nervous again.

It's hard to drive on a snowy day.

So she quickly called Chen Qingrong, and found out that Chen Qingrong and his friends had already got on the highway.

"Are you guys so fast? What time did you leave?"

"We left at around seven, and it's almost ten now, which is not that fast." Chen Qingrong smiled and asked, "Why don't you sleep a little longer?"

Tang Xiaoru said helplessly, "I went to bed early last night, so I woke up early. I can't fall asleep even if I want to. I'll get up and eat something first. Tell me when you're almost here."

Chen Qingrong smiled and said, "Why should I tell you? We don't need you to pick us up. You just need to wait at home obediently."

"I also need to know where you are. Drive slowly. It's snowing and the road is slippery."

"Don't worry, your husband is an experienced driver now. If the car really slips, I will perform a drift on the spot."

"Bah, no more bad mouths!"

After Tang Xiaoru finished speaking, she hung up the phone.

When Yang Bingbing woke up, she was happy to see snowflakes floating outside.

"It's snowing. I have to go back quickly. Otherwise, if it snows heavily, it will be difficult for me to get a taxi." Yang Bingbing also knew that it was time for her to leave.

Tang Xiaoru took her hand and said, "Don't worry, my mother is already making breakfast. It's so cold outside, you should at least eat something before leaving."

"Well, that's fine. I'm a little hungry too."

After breakfast, Yang Bingbing left first.

Then Lin Yue called Tang Chengshan over.

After all, Chen Qingrong and his family are coming over, so your girl’s parents can’t be away.

They waited until after noon, and Chen Qingrong and his family finally arrived.

As soon as the parents of both sides met, they started to get to know each other enthusiastically. Chen Qingrong also introduced his aunt and uncle to his mother-in-law.

The relatives who came also prepared gifts for Tang Xiaoru. Her aunt prepared hand-made silver jewelry, and her aunt prepared hand-made shoes for the baby. This is the custom in Chen Qingrong's hometown.

It’s not expensive, but it’s the thought that counts.

And frankly speaking, compared to those expensive gifts, Tang Xiaoru personally prefers this kind of thoughtful gift.

After my aunt and my cousin had played here for two days, Lao Chen drove them back home, while Wang Xiu'e stayed and cooked for Tang Xiaoru in various ways with her old sister Lin Yue.

Tang Xiaoru and her friends received another piece of news from the decoration team at their new home, saying that the decoration had been completed.

So Tang Xiaoru and her family went to their new home to inspect it.

"Not bad, much bigger than I imagined." It was Wang Xiu'e's first time here. She looked here and touched there, and said with a smile, "The decoration is quite good. This style should be Xiaoru's idea. Chen Qingrong, you don't have such a high-level aesthetic."

Tang Xiaoru immediately took her mother-in-law's arm and said with a smile, "Mom, you have good taste. To be honest, when I first chose the color of this wallpaper, Chen Qingrong was not very satisfied. My mom also said it was not pretty. But you are the one who appreciates it the most."

"This color is indeed a bit too flashy. Sister Xiu'e, please stop pampering Xiaoru. You should criticize her when necessary." Lin Yue said.

Wang Xiu'e didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "The problem is that I really think it's pretty good. I really can't find any reason to criticize Xiaoru."

"That's right." Tang Xiaoru looked at her mother proudly, "They say that no one knows a child better than his mother, but this doesn't seem to be true for you, her biological mother."

Lin Yue gritted her teeth and said, "You stupid little girl, you're relying on Sister Xiu'e to mock your own mother. Just wait and see, I'll find time to deal with you."

Tang Xiaoru quickly hid behind Wang Xiu'e, "Mom, save me!"

"Hahaha."

Everyone laughed.

However, Tang Chengshan said, "This house is good in every way, except that it has too few rooms. There is only one baby room. If you have two children, they can sleep in the same room when they are young, but not when they grow up. You should have bought a bigger one."

Chen Qingrong said helplessly, "We didn't know Xiaoru would be pregnant with twins at the beginning."

In fact, he knew.

The problem was that he really forgot to remind Xiaoru to get an extra room. It was only after Xiaoru was confirmed to be pregnant that he remembered it, but it was too late.

He added, "But we have thought about it. When the baby is young, we will sleep together first. When he grows up, we will modify the study room and let my son sleep in it. Little boys need to be trained from an early age. My baby daughter will still sleep in the larger room."

Tang Chengshan said, "That's not the case. The logic of raising boys poorly and girls well is completely nonsense. There is no law that stipulates that boys must be tempered from a young age, and we don't expect them to inherit the throne."

"If we want to change it, we have to change it to the same scale as my daughter's."

Chen Qingrong nodded, "Okay, I understand, Dad."

In two days it will be Christmas Eve.

Tang Xiaoru and Chen Qingrong specially bought apples and went to the company to send their blessings to the employees.

Now that everything in the company is running smoothly, Tang Xiaoru almost never comes to the company anymore. If there is anything important that needs to be arranged, she will ask Chen Qingrong to come to the company to announce and handle it.

"Everyone has worked hard this year. Tomorrow is Christmas and we will give everyone a day off. Let's relax and have fun for a day."

Tang Xiaoru announced good news.

"Yeah, long live President Tang, long live President Chen!"

Everyone cheered immediately.

For working people, no matter how nice the holiday greetings are, they are not as practical as having more holidays.

Chen Qingrong even made a special call to Gao Qiang to synchronize the information with him.

"No problem." Gao Qiang smiled and said, "Even if you didn't call me, I would have called you to ask if we could have a holiday this Christmas. It's the end of the year and everyone has been working hard. We finally have a holiday, so we must let everyone have a good rest."

"By the way, Lao Chen, tomorrow is Christmas. Do you want to get together? Let's invite Xiaoyuan and the others to join us."

"It's inconvenient for Xiaoyuan to travel now, so let's not call her." Chen Qingrong said first, then thought for a moment and said, "How about this, I'll host you all for dinner tomorrow night."

"Okay, then you decide on the address. Choose a high-end one. Don't be so stingy."

"I'm sorry, I'm just that stingy. If you're afraid of being wronged, then you decide?"

"Well, you come first. You are the boss, how can I snatch this opportunity from you? I am not the kind of person who likes to be in the limelight, haha." Gao Qiang laughed awkwardly.

Chen Qingrong suddenly felt contemptuous.

This grandson was quite generous before he got married, but he has become more and more stingy since he got married.

It's not that Miao Su didn't give him pocket money. In fact, he and Chen Qingrong both kept their own savings. He just became stingy. As soon as you asked him the reason, he would immediately say that the market economy was in decline, money was depreciating rapidly, and it was not easy to save money. Chen Qingrong was speechless.

Fortunately, Chen Qingrong knew Gao Qiang well enough, otherwise he would definitely suspect that Gao Qiang's grandson was saving money to support a mistress outside.

Chen Qingrong talked about this matter with Tang Xiaoru again, and Tang Xiaoru naturally agreed readily.

The two of them didn't stay in the company for long, and went directly to Yang Bingbing's house, and brought apples to Yang Bingbing and her friends.

Ren Furong happened to be there, so Tang Xiaoru asked them if they wanted to have dinner together tomorrow night.

Yang Bingbing said helplessly, "I'm sorry, I have to go to a magazine shoot tomorrow, and have dinner with my agent and the bosses of the company in the evening. I really don't have time."

Tang Xiaoru was a little confused. "After giving birth, the first step for female celebrities to make a comeback is to accept interviews or film a movie to increase their exposure. Why are you shooting for magazines right after your comeback?"

Yang Bingbing shrugged, "Everyone has a different style. I also have a play, and I've read the script, but I can't join the crew to shoot until after the Lantern Festival."

Tang Xiaoru said "oh" and looked at Ren Furong again, "What about you, Furong? Do you want to join us tonight?"

Ren Furong said with some hesitation, "I really want to go, but I'm not very familiar with your friends, Xiaoru. Would it be awkward if I went?"

Tang Xiaoru immediately took her hand and said with a smile, "No, no, we are all young people, what's there to be embarrassed about? We'll get familiar with each other by singing and eating. Anyway, I didn't have a date with a man for Christmas, so just come with us, otherwise you'll be so bored."

Ren Furong thought for a moment before saying, "Well, then I'll have dinner with you. To be honest, I also want to find a good man to have fun with on Christmas Day, but I just can't find one."

"Don't be anxious." Chen Qingrong took a bite of grapes and said casually, "You can't rush into marriage. Look at me. I was single for 27 years before I met someone as good as Xiaoru. The longer you are single, the higher the chance of meeting someone good."

Tang Xiaoru couldn't help but blush. This man started to show affection everywhere again.

Ren Furong half-jokingly said at this time, "Brother Chen, what if I am still single and can't find a partner when I am over 40?"

Chen Qingrong rolled her eyes. "You're still single in your forties. What other man do you need to find? When your fashion brand business gets bigger and bigger, you'll be a wealthy woman by the time you're forty. Wouldn't it be better to find a male model in a club than a husband?"

"Remember, there is no little man who is always eighteen years old, but there is always a little man who has just turned eighteen."

"Hey, I'm really moved."

On Christmas Eve, Chen Qingrong and his family sat together for dinner.

Chen Qingrong was not asked to cook tonight. After all, Lin Yue and Wang Xiu'e were here, so it was not Chen Qingrong's turn to help.

Chen Qingrong sat aside and watched his father and father-in-law play chess.

These two old men have two major hobbies, playing chess and fishing.

Moreover, both of them are the type who are addicted to being weak.

Putting aside the issue of fishing, just playing chess, Chen Qingrong felt that he could beat both of them to a pulp.

Of course, even if Chen Qingrong really had that ability, he couldn't do that. Wouldn't that be disrespectful to his fathers?

As for Chen Qingrong's grandmother and Tang Xiaoru's grandparents, they sat aside and watched TV with Tang Xiaoru.

Soon, the food was ready and everyone sat at the table together.

Because Chen Qingrong's grandmother was the oldest, she was asked to sit in the main seat, and when the fish was served, the fish head was aimed towards her.

"Okay, okay, it's time to eat. Come and sit down. Xiao Chen, stop busying yourself and come over here quickly."

"Hey, here I come, mom, let me wash my hands."

After washing his hands, Chen Qingrong took out some disposable cups and distributed them to everyone.

Because Tang Xiaoru, a pregnant woman, is here, no one is allowed to drink tonight.

Chen Qingrong personally poured drinks for everyone, and Tang Chengshan suggested that Chen Qingrong's grandmother say a few words.

Grandma said with a smile, "I don't have much to say, I'm just happy. I'm already old, but I can still celebrate the festival like foreigners do with the help of my children. It's pretty good."

"Now that Xiaoru is pregnant with two children, our Chen family and your Tang family are finally going to have an heir. If our old man knew about this, he would be happy too."

When she said this, grandma's eyes became a little moist.

Lin Yue suddenly thought of her parents. If her parents were still alive, how nice it would be to be able to have fun together at this moment.

Seeing that the atmosphere was a little tense, Lao Chen quickly said, "Mom, look at you, why are you talking about all this? Come on, let's have a toast together. Merry Christmas."

"Yes, cheers, and Merry Christmas!"

"cheers!"

The family clinked glasses together, and then it was time to eat and chat.

The meal lasted more than two hours.

After dinner, the parents left first.

Lin Yue and her husband returned home, while Wang Xiu'e and her husband moved into the house opposite, which was the one Chen Qingrong had rented before.

Tang Xiaoru was also very full tonight. She lay down on the sofa and couldn't help but sigh, "Chen Qingrong, I feel like I'm becoming more and more like a pig. How come I can eat so much all of a sudden?"

Chen Qingrong smiled and said, "Because you have our two babies in your belly, they also need nutrition, so it's a good thing that they can eat."

Tang Xiaoru said to him again, "Don't clean up yet, come and sit with me. It's so cold now, the food won't go bad if you leave it there."

"It's not a question of whether it's rotten or not. It's mainly because I can't stand it. You know my habit. It's okay. You sit down first. I'll be there to accompany you soon."

"Ok."

Tang Xiaoru thought about it again. It seemed that she had become more and more lazier since she became pregnant. Well, it seemed that she was not very diligent before and she had not done much housework.

In fact, it's not that she has never done it before, but when Tang Xiaoru does housework, she usually has to clean the entire house thoroughly, leaving no corner untouched. But Chen Qingrong is different. Chen Qingrong always makes sure the house is kept clean.

So, comparing the two, Tang Xiaoru seems to be lazier and doesn't like doing housework.

She had always liked to complain that Chen Qingrong was born in the wrong family. If he were a woman, he would definitely be a natural cleaner.

After Chen Qingrong cleaned up the dishes, he came and sat down next to Tang Xiaoru.

He also took the initiative to lift Tang Xiaoru's legs and put them on his legs, and then massaged her calves with his hands.

Tang Xiaoru began to sigh again, "In the blink of an eye, we have been together for so long. I am now pregnant with your child, and we are twins. Sometimes when I think about the time when we first met, I find it magical. Don't you think it's magical? Who would have thought that we would get married in the future?"

Chen Qingrong smiled, "It's really magical, that's what we call fate. When fate comes, nothing can stop it."

Tang Xiaoru asked him again, "When our children grow up, what kind of jobs do you want them to do? Don't say anything like asking them to become officials. That's not realistic."

Chen Qingrong shook his head. "I haven't thought about it. My children and grandchildren will have their own blessings. I think they should just let nature take its course. I only have one request, which is also my bottom line."

"any request?"

“You must not break the law or commit crimes.”

"Ha." Tang Xiaoru said with a smile, "Your bottom line is really low."

Chen Qingrong said in a deep voice, "It's not low. The world is full of temptations. Raising children is not as simple as just feeding them. We are also responsible for their lives. Anyway, I don't plan to guide my children in what jobs to do or what skills to learn in the future. I just hope that they can be down-to-earth and not go down the road of crime."

"It would be a real shame if we accidentally trained a criminal in the future."

"Ah, bah, bah, bah." Tang Xiaoru spat several times in a row, "Put away your crow mouth, okay?"

Chen Qingrong was amused, "Haha, now you're not saying that my bottom line is too low?"

Tang Xiaoru didn't respond to this, but just fantasized, "I have thought about it. I hope our daughter can become a pianist in the future. As for our son, I hope he can join the army and serve the country."

"Pianists are good, it depends on whether my daughter likes it. In fact, it is really attractive for girls to have talents, especially if it can cultivate their temperament. Sometimes when I see dancing girls on short videos, I think they are very elegant."

"Haha." Tang Xiaoru began to sneer, narrowing her eyes, with a dangerous light radiating from her pupils, "You are such a jerk, Chen Qingrong, you watch other girls dance behind my back every day, right? How obscene!"

Chen Qingrong's mouth twitched suddenly, "That's why you misunderstood me. Well, I didn't search for it on purpose, I just accidentally saw it occasionally."

Tang Xiaoru exposed him directly, "If you don't often watch the same type of videos, how can the big data keep pushing them to you? Do you really think I'm stupid?"

Chen Qingrong didn't dare to respond, and just changed the subject, "Well, let's talk about my son. I don't think it's necessary to send him to the army right from the start. Our country has enough soldiers. Besides, if a little boy wants to join the army, it's usually because he can't find anything else to do."

"Just like in our rural areas, some children drop out of school early, and after working for a few years, their parents send them to the army. After they finish their two years of compulsory military service, they find a matchmaker to find a wife for them, and they get married and have children. That's how their lives go by."

"Of course, the conscription requirements are much stricter now, and the same applies to college students. If they can't find a suitable job after graduating from college, they will serve as soldiers for two years to gain experience. It sounds nice to say that it is experience, but in fact, it is just to get by. Otherwise, they will not be able to get a high position or a low position. They can't just lie down at home after graduating from college, right?"

Tang Xiaoru rolled her eyes at him and said, "You can't say that. Some people just want to join the army and serve their country."

"I know, so I didn't tell you everything."

"Then why didn't you join the army?" Tang Xiaoru suddenly became curious, "Didn't you ever think about joining the army?"

Chen Qingrong hesitated for a moment, "To be honest, I feel that I can't endure hardship. I'm afraid that if I really join the army, I'll be a deserter, and then our entire family will be embarrassed because of me."

Tang Xiaoru burst into laughter. "Hahaha, that's true. If you're really a deserter, then I'll look down on you even more. Even if my man, Tang Xiaoru's, is not a great hero, at least he can't be a deserter."

Chen Qingrong also smiled awkwardly.

To be honest, if he joined the army, he might really become a deserter because he has a lazy personality and he really can't stand the military's management system.

He almost couldn't make it through the military training in college, let alone joining the regular army.

Chen Qingrong sighed again, "However, if you join the army, you will regret it for two years, but if you don't join the army, you will regret it for the rest of your life. Sometimes when I watch those military-themed TV dramas, I also think that the soldiers are so handsome and brave, and I also regret not joining the army in the first place."

"If our son really joins the army in the future, I will be very proud of him. After all, it is something a man should be proud of to join the army and serve his country."

Tang Xiaoru hummed, and then thought of another question, "By the way, have you thought of a name for our child?"

Chen Qingrong blurted out, "Let's name the boy Chen Ning and the girl Chen Xi, how about that?"

Tang Xiaoru muttered the two names several times in a low voice, and finally said, "It's not bad to hear, but I thought you would name your daughter Chen Jing, so that it can form the two characters of Ningjing."

Chen Qingrong thought that these two names were not thought up by me, but were spoiled by the system.

But to be honest, Chen Qingrong personally likes these two names.

"Then you agree?"

"I agree." Tang Xiaoru nodded. "I'm bad at naming. When I wrote a novel before, the names I came up with were criticized by readers for being bad. I'll follow your name."

"Besides, Chen Ning and Chen Xi are both good names. I really don't like those fancy names."

"You mean, someone like Chen Zichen?"

"Eh, it sounds so ugly, it sounds like the name of the protagonist in a novel." Tang Xiaoru shook her head, then smiled at him, "Actually, I think your name is also very nice, it's a pity that we can't let our children have the same name as their father, otherwise I really want to pass your name on to my son and daughter."

"The son's name is Chen Qingrong and the daughter's name is Chen Rongqing, which is also pretty good."

Chen Qingrong didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "If that's the case, even if the law allows it, we'll just be of the same generation."

"hey-hey."

The next day was Christmas.

Although it is a foreign festival, to be honest, many young people in China still like to celebrate this festival.

However, many domestic companies do not give holidays for holidays like Christmas. If the boss can give you an apple as a reward, it is already a great honor for you. Holidays? Wait for the next life!

Early in the morning, both Chen Qingrong and Tang Xiaoru received many Christmas greetings one after another.

Because they have many overlapping friends, the message sent to Chen Qingrong was also sent to Tang Xiaoru.

They were going to buy furniture during the day today, and because they were worried that it would be difficult to bargain, they called their two old mothers along.

When buying things, it is better to take someone older with you to bargain with you, because some merchants are very shameless and will treat you differently based on your financial situation.

If young people like Chen Qingrong go to buy things alone, the boss will think that you are young and inexperienced and will easily rip you off. Moreover, it will be difficult to bargain for a lower price.

But if you bring the elders along, especially middle-aged women of the mother's generation, the results will be different.

As we all know, every middle-aged woman in her forties or fifties is good at bargaining, and they are good at calculating (a positive word), so it is really hard to fool the boss.

Sure enough, after bringing two mothers out this time, the results were very impressive and we bought very suitable furniture at a very ideal price.

After leaving their address and paying a deposit, they left.

When leaving the furniture store, Wang Xiu'e reminded her, "Xiao Ru, don't rush to move in now. Chen Qingrong is fine. The main thing is that you are pregnant. Formaldehyde is too harmful to you. You should at least wait until you give birth before you can move in."

Tang Xiaoru nodded obediently, "I understand, Mom. I'm not in a hurry to move in."

Chen Qingrong said unhappily at this time, "Mom, what do you mean I'm fine? Doesn't formaldehyde have any harm to my body?"

Wang Xiu'e rolled her eyes at him and said, "You are a man, so what if you inhale some formaldehyde? You are going to be a father, can you not bear this little bit of suffering?"

Chen Qingrong, "..."

What kind of logic is this!

Does every man and every father deserve to breathe formaldehyde every day?

Wang Xiu'e suddenly smiled again, "Yes, Chen Qingrong, you are going to be a father soon. Time flies. In my heart, you are still the kid running around in diapers. I never thought that you are going to have your own children, two at that. You are so lucky."

"That's right." Lin Yue also added, and said with some pride, "The most important thing is that our Xiaoru's belly is doing well. After all, not everyone can get pregnant with twins. Sister Xiu'e, you don't know, ever since Xiaoru got pregnant with twins, I can stand up straight when I play mahjong with my old sisters. After all, their children are either unmarried or have only one child. Who is like our Xiaoru, who got pregnant with two at once? Hahaha, it's great."

Wang Xiu'e also smiled, "It's not just you. I've also been asked for the secret recipe in the village. They all want to know what our Xiaoru eats every day and how she is so lucky to be pregnant with twins."

The vanity of the two old mothers was satisfied as never before.

The day passed quickly.

In the blink of an eye it was night.

Today, God was kind enough to have some snow falling, which made the Christmas festive atmosphere even more intense.

At seven o'clock, Chen Qingrong drove Tang Xiaoru to meet everyone.

It is winter now and it gets dark earlier. When going out, the parents reminded Chen Qingrong to drive slowly and be careful.

Tang Xiaoru suddenly said, "Honey, I have another question in mind, which is a follow-up to last night's question."

"what is the problem?"

"Didn't you say that as long as our children don't commit crimes, you'll be fine with it? Now here comes the question, what if our children become calcium?"

When Chen Qingrong heard this, his face turned green.

After a long silence, he finally spoke, "Son or daughter?"

"So what if it's a son? So what if it's a daughter?" Tang Xiaoru asked with a smile.

Chen Qingrong said without hesitation, "If it's a son, break his legs and kick him out of the house. Our Chen family and your Tang family can't have such a bastard. If it's a daughter..."

At this point, Chen Qingrong smiled. "If it's a daughter, it's fine. LS is still quite beautiful."

Tang Xiaoru rolled her eyes and said bluntly, "I think you've watched too many porn movies. Do you think real LS are so beautiful?"

Chen Qingrong pouted, "It's hard to say. Anyway, I can't accept my son becoming a calcium. To be honest, if my son really wants to become a calcium, then I would rather he do something illegal."

"You're exaggerating." Tang Xiaoru was a little shocked, "I didn't realize how much you discriminated against Qi Long before."

Chen Qingrong shook his head seriously, "You are wrong, Xiaoru. I don't discriminate against calcineurins. This is the truth. It is their freedom. However, I absolutely cannot accept my son becoming a calcineurin. I think all parents in the world think the same way."

"What do you call this? This is called the pity of the love of parents in the world."

Tang Xiaoru was both angry and amused.

Forty minutes later, they arrived at the hotel Chen Qingrong had booked.

After parking the car, Chen Qingrong got out first to open the door for Tang Xiaoru. Tang Xiaoru was a little slow to get out of the car, so she buttoned her coat tightly after getting out.

"Why don't you take down your umbrella?" Chen Qingrong asked, "The snow is getting heavier."

Tang Xiaoru said, "It's only a few steps away, why bother holding an umbrella? Besides, it's good to have snow. Only when it snows can we support each other until we grow old together."

Chen Qingrong paused, then grinned, "Then let the blizzard come even harder!"

"That's not necessary. That wouldn't be beautiful."

"Brother Chen, Sister Xiaoru, you guys came so quickly!"

At this time, a familiar voice sounded. The two looked and found that it was Ren Furong running towards them.
