Raising Babies in the 70s - Chapter 124

Huang Xinying and Head Zhang got together to calculate a few hexagrams and concluded that it was a girl. So the two decided to give Zhang Yichao a sister and fulfill the achievement of having children of both sexes earlier than their neighbor.

The couple also gave Li Qinghua a divination and figured out that she should be pregnant with a boy. 

Although Huang Xinying felt that she was pregnant with a daughter, it was very similar to the last time she was pregnant with her eldest son. However, that did not indicate the gender of the child.

“Ms. Huang, you will give birth to a daughter for sure.”

Huang Xinying was very happy when she heard so. 

But Xiao Zhou, a teacher working in the same office said, “Last time, Mr. Huang said that when she was pregnant with Yichao, she also liked to eat spicy food. It’s impossible to say it will be a girl just because you are craving spicy food. After all, Teacher Huang has always liked spicy food. It’s good to also have a lively boy, your kid will get a brother.”

Huang Xinying’s face darkened after hearing that, and she was not happy. She only wanted a daughter at the moment.

Li Qinghua said very carelessly in the courtyard, “I want to have a daughter.”

She and Political Commissar Liu had not had children for several years. Political Commissar Liu thought that his wife didn’t want to have a baby, so he did not force her, while Li Qinghua thought that her man didn’t have her in his heart, that he lived unhappily, so she didn’t want her to give birth.

A period of time had passed, the couple decided to give birth to a sister for their son.

“Huahua, do you think you could have a daughter if you want to have a daughter? What if it’s a son?”

“If you said it will be a daughter, will it be a daughter? Before I got pregnant, I had a dream in which I had a daughter.”

“Teacher Huang, you could be carrying a boy.”

Huang Xinying thought to herself: Bah, I will have a daughter.

Huang Xinying said, “I heard that reality is the opposite of the dream. You dreamt that you had a daughter before, but you actually got a son.”

“My dream isn’t wrong. This time the reaction was completely different from when I gave birth to my son before.”

Huang Xinying and Li Qinghua thought to themselves, ‘Let’s see who will have a son and who will have a daughter.’

At the end of nine months, Lao Wang came to the Lu House. He was full of joy, and his whole body seemed to be floating in the clouds. He came to announce the good news. He had successfully issued a marriage report. He was about to move into the colony with his new family.

People were in good spirits when they were happy, and they couldn’t wait to turn into magpies. Every time they saw someone, they had to report the good news.

That year, good things finally came to his house. He got married, and he also had a house.

Lao Wang spoke very politely, “Lao Lu, I really want to be your neighbor! It’s a pity that all the houses on your side are full, and I have to arrange the other side, not too far away from here. Once I apply, I’ll know where it is. You must come to my house for a drink, and listen to the radio!!”

Lu Yan listened to him indifferently. When he got to him, he dropped his sons’ underwear, and patted him on the shoulder without wiping his hands, “Congratulations.”

Wang Yuanzheng took a step back with a squeak, “What is the smell?”

“My sons’ smell.”

“Would you like to come and get lucky?”

Lu Yan tilted his head to look at him. His handsome face was the same as before. The days when he was studying at the same academy the previous year were not long gone and the radio he brought back from the academy was still in good condition. His house stood in the same place.

It was just that this year’s Brother Lu was not the free and easy Brother Lu of the previous year.

“Luck?”

Wang Yuanzheng hesitated, and finally decided to reach out to touch it.

Lu Yan: “…” You are great.

“You are a good comrade of the party, I must thank you!” After getting the luck, Wang Yuanzheng held Lu Yan’s hand tightly and expressed his deep gratitude.

Lu Yan looked down at the hands of the two of them, and then looked at the underwear beside him.

The gratitude on Lao Wang’s face was not fake. Even through the spectacles, he could see the sincere eyes with desire that read “I want to touch again”.

As soon as Qin Rou returned home, she saw two men with their hands clasped, a familiar smell, and the underwear on the side.

Qin Rou: “.. This?”

Lu Yan shook off Lao Wang’s hand, “…” Don’t tug at me in front of my wife.

Wang Yuanzheng turned into a happy bird again, “Sister-in-law, I got married, I’m going to move into the colony. We will see each other often in the future, I’ll have to trouble you to help me take care of Xiao Xue…”

When Qin Rou heard that, she immediately said, “Congratulations!”

“That kid isn’t here?”

“He went to his grandma and grandpa’s house.”

“Oh, here are some things for him…”
