1979: The child's mother is a celestial being.

Chapter 105 Let's Have a Second Child (Seeking Monthly Tickets!)

After not seeing his daughter for several long periods of time before, Chen Fusheng found that the little girl needed a while to "recognize" him as her father.

But when Chen Fusheng returned this time, his daughter not only recognized him immediately, but also burst into tears upon seeing him.

This crying broke the heart of Chen Fusheng, the old father.

"Don't cry, don't cry, baby, don't cry, Daddy's back now."

"Look, Daddy brought a big sister back to play with you. This is Sister Zhizhi... Wait, something seems off."

Fu Ming smiled and corrected himself, "Brother Chen, I'm her Aunt Zhizhi."

"I knew it! Yes, this is Aunt Zhizhi."

The little one was still upset and was crying very sadly.

Seeing this, Chen Fusheng could only quickly change his approach to coaxing her.

"How about Daddy sings you a song?"

"The little conch shell blows its horn, and the seagulls take flight at its sound."

"The little conch shell blows its horn, and the waves smile gently in response."

"Little conch shell, beep beep beep... Daddy, come home quickly!"

Seeing that singing was effective, Chen Fusheng continued to sing.

However, he couldn't remember the rest of the lyrics to "Little Conch Shell".

That means I can only cut the song halfway through.

"La la la, la la la, I'm a newspaper seller..."

"Amen, Amen, a grape vine, tender green shoots just sprouting, a snail carrying its heavy shell, climbing up step by step."

"Under the bridge in front of the gate, a flock of ducks swam by. Come quickly and count them: two, four, six, seven, eight, quack quack..."

"Gluck cluck~"

Seeing that singing had finally made his daughter laugh, Chen Fusheng felt his mood brighten up instantly.

He wiped away her tears and asked, "Are you happy now?"

"Dad... Dad."

"Ah~"

Just now, Chen Fusheng felt like something was missing in his heart, and his daughter's call of "Dad" made him realize that it was a feeling of being needed.

After calming his daughter down, Chen Fusheng finally had time to greet his mother-in-law and introduce her to Fu Mingxian.

As for his wife, she hasn't gotten off work yet.

The mother-in-law warmly welcomed Fu Mingxian, then said to Chen Fusheng, "Fusheng, you've just returned, and you must be tired from the journey. Why don't you go and rest for a bit?"

Chen Fusheng himself wasn't very tired, but he still asked Fu Mingxian about it.

"Brother Chen, I'm not tired either."

"Then Mom, you don't need to worry about us. I guess Xiaoli will be off work soon. I'll take my daughter to pick up her mom."

The mother-in-law nodded: "Alright, then I'll go to the market to buy some groceries first. Fusheng, what would you like to eat tonight? And little Zhizhi, I wonder if she'll like the Northeastern cuisine that Auntie makes?"

"Oh right, Mom, Zhizhi can't eat spicy food."

"You can't handle spicy food, right? Okay, then I'll make some non-spicy dishes."

"Thank you auntie."

A little later, the four of them went out together, but after leaving the alley, they split into two groups.

"Brother Chen, can I hug Qianqian? She's so cute."

"Does your Aunt Zhizhi want to hug you? Do you want her to hug you? Hmm?" Chen Fusheng asked his daughter for her opinion. The baby, who was only a little over 10 months old, couldn't understand what he was babbling about. She just thought her father was teasing her, so she smiled at him.

"You agree, right?" Chen Fusheng returned her a smile, then handed her to Fu Mingxian. "Be careful."

"Don't worry, Brother Chen, I'm very strong." Fu Mingxian carefully took Chen Qian from her, and then the two girls stared at each other, curiously looking at one another.

"Hello Sisi, I'm your Aunt Zhizhi. Grow up quickly, okay? So I can take you to play with me when you're all grown up."

Chen Qian didn't recognize the young aunt, so she turned her attention to her father and stretched out her little hand to him, making it clear that she didn't want the young aunt to hold her, but wanted her father to hold her.

Moreover, her little mouth was already pouting, and she looked like she was about to cry. Chen Fusheng couldn't bear to hear his little darling cry, so he quickly picked her up and took her back.

However, she also explained to Fu Mingxian, "Qianqian is still a little shy. Once she gets to know you, she'll want you to hold her."

"Uh-huh."

Fu Mingxian didn't think anything of it. After teasing his little niece a bit more, he changed the subject.

"Brother Chen, if Qianqian is so pretty, her mother must be pretty too, right?"

"Your sister-in-law isn't particularly good-looking, but she has a very kind personality, which is why I chose her in the first place."

"really?"

"Of course, the baby is beautiful because she looks like her father."

While Chen Fusheng and Fu Mingxian were boasting, they didn't forget to consider their daughter's feelings: "Isn't she a good girl?"

To be honest, Fu Mingxian actually started to believe it.

They even felt a pang of regret for Chen Fusheng.

I think that since her brother Chen is so outstanding, his wife should also be very beautiful.

CCTV

It's almost time to get off work.

The crew of "Journey to the West," where Liu Xiaoli works, isn't very busy, and they usually chat about gossip around this time.

They talk about everything. One topic might be what someone in the factory did, and the next topic might jump to national affairs.

For example, right now we're talking about family planning.

"I heard that the country will focus on implementing the family planning policy next."

"Wasn't this plan proposed a long time ago, I think it was in 1971? I still remember the slogan: 'One is not enough, two is just right, three is too many,' but what's the use? People still didn't listen and had as many children as they wanted. There were plenty of families with five or six children. It didn't have any effect at all."

"It didn't have much effect because the problem wasn't too serious before, so the country only advocated it. But now, with the return of educated youth to the cities, a large number of unemployed young people can't find jobs, which has brought great challenges to our social order in the past two years. So I heard rumors that the government will focus on family planning in the future."

Whether or not to have children is a matter between the couple.

"Yeah, everyone thinks like you... Okay, I'm not going to say anymore, I'm off work, I still have to go home and cook for my child."

The topic discussed before leaving get off work today left Liu Xiaoli feeling a bit preoccupied.

She was so close to her husband that she didn't even notice them.

Then a familiar voice came from beside him: "Hello comrade, could you help me hold the child? I need to tie my shoelaces."

Before Liu Xiaoli could react, a baby was already placed in her arms.

'Wait, this baby looks exactly like my daughter… No, this is my daughter…'

Then she looked up at the person who handed her the girl, and sure enough, it was a man she knew.

A surge of joy instantly dispelled the slight unease she had just felt, and a smile spread across Liu Xiaoli's face: "When did you get back?"

"afternoon."

"I was wondering who would suddenly give me a baby," Liu Xiaoli said, kissing her daughter on the cheek.

At this moment, Fu Mingxian looked at this sister-in-law, who was described by Chen Fusheng as having an average appearance, and stood in the wind looking a little disheveled.

"Honey, let me introduce you. This is Fu Mingxian, the youngest daughter of Uncle Fu Qi and Aunt Shi Hui. Her nickname is Zhizhi. She will play Lingling in my next movie, so I brought her from Hong Kong. She will stay with us for the time being."

After hearing her husband's introduction, Liu Xiaoli finally noticed Fu Mingxian. She glanced at him, then greeted him with a gentle smile:

"Welcome, Zhizhi. I've heard Fusheng mention your parents. They are heroes, and I respect them very much. Don't feel uncomfortable here; just make yourself at home."

"Thank you... thank you, beautiful lady."

When Fu Mingxian addressed Liu Xiaoli as "pretty sister," he deliberately glanced at Chen Fusheng, as if to ask: Didn't you say your wife was just average-looking? You call this average?
Chen Fusheng noticed the girl's gaze, suppressed a laugh, and replied, "What pretty sister? You should call her sister-in-law."

"I'll call you that, I'll call you that, Brother Chen, didn't you say..."

Seeing that the girl was about to complain, Chen Fusheng stuffed a candy into her mouth, but didn't have time to peel it.

When Liu Xiaoli saw that her husband was even bullying children, she gently kicked him and then spoke up for Fu Mingxian, saying, "Zhizhi, don't listen to him. Just call me Sister Xiaoli from now on."

"Okay, Sister Xiaoli." Fu Ming spat out the candy in his mouth and then called out sweetly to Liu Xiaoli, but after calling out, he snorted at her Brother Chen.

Of course, she didn't continue to complain.

"So, honey, you went straight into the cast of Director Yang Jie's 'Journey to the West'?"

"um, yes."

After returning home, they shared their work experiences over the past few days. When Chen Fusheng heard that his wife had been unexpectedly chosen by director Yang Jie on her very first day at CCTV and had joined her "Journey to the West" production team, he was not only surprised but also quite astonished.

"Which female demon does Director Yang Jie plan to cast you as?"

"You're the one playing a fairy, I'm the dance teacher on set."

"Didn't she give you a role?" Chen Fusheng said he didn't believe it.

"Director Yang Jie did mention it to me once."

"I knew it! What did she want you to play? The Queen of the Women's Kingdom?"

"No, she thinks my temperament is suitable for playing Chang'e."

"Chang'e?" Chen Fusheng looked his wife up and down and nodded, "Yes, this role is not bad, it really suits you."

Speaking of this, Chen Fusheng recalled that this version of "Journey to the West" had a difficult production process. It seemed that the project would only start next year, and after a year, only one episode was filmed, which was "Exorcising Demons in Wuji Kingdom".

In this situation, he doesn't know when he'll get to see his wife play Chang'e.

After hesitating for a moment, he suddenly suggested, "Have you written the script? Should I make an episode for you?"

"Oh? You can even write a script for 'Journey to the West'?" Liu Xiaoli asked, somewhat surprised.

"I also liked watching monkeys when I was a child," Chen Fusheng said, making a double entendre.

“Sure, Director Yang Jie is also interested in getting to know you.” Liu Xiaoli thought for a moment and continued, “Do you have time this weekend? I can invite Director Yang Jie to my home so you can have a chat.”

"It's the weekend, right? Sure..."

……

That night.

It's quiet at night.

One side's commander was about to put up an umbrella for himself.

The other commander suddenly said:
"Honey, shall we have a second child?"
