Ding Wei and Xie Yan were already waiting at the Zhonghua Gate.

the weather is too hot.

The weather forecast said a high temperature of 37°, but Ding Wei had experienced today's temperature and decided to express distrust in the weather forecast.

Wuling Hongguang was parked on the side of the road, with the air conditioner whining. Ding Wei looked at the slightly empty scene on the road and sighed.

"In two years' time, this road should be widened."

Xie Yan glanced out the window.

"In two years' time it will be the year of the Olympics. There will definitely be a lot of people from all over the world by then. Not only this road, but all roads will probably need to be repaired."

Ding Wei:……

She just wanted to lament the traffic jam.

But in Olympic years... you can sign up to be a volunteer!

I didn't catch up with it in my previous life, but now that I think about it, it should be quite memorable.

Of course, you have to grab your tickets for the Olympics no matter what.

She stared out the window. The strong sunlight and high temperature made the road in the distance appear distorted, and the terrifying temperature could be felt through the car window.

That is to say, various short video platforms have not yet emerged. Otherwise, someone would probably live broadcast fried eggs on the road by now.

The leaves of the trees on both sides of the road were a little rusty, and Ding Wei thought about it:

"You said, we have to plant trees on both sides of the road anyway, why not plant some that can bear fruit? This way we can easily get enough when we want to eat."

Xie Yan laughed: "Trees that bear fruit generally don't have strong disease resistance and are difficult to take care of. Moreover, there are many pedestrians on the roadside. The trees on this roadside grow too tall. If a fruit is dropped from the top, people will be injured or something else...

…If something goes wrong, who is responsible?”

The municipal government will not take the blame.

Ding Wei turned to stare at Xie Yan, her eyes soft.

"I know, I'll just fantasize about it."

…

Xie Yan's smile faded slightly.

"Weiwei," he asked worriedly, "Are you worried?"

Ding Wei was stunned.

Xie Yan looked at her intently: "Didn't you have this topic before? I remember you discussing with me a paper on economics and people's livelihood... The issue of Taoism is obviously contrary to your previous views."

"Are you... unhappy?"

I am unhappy and have something on my mind, so I am so absent-minded.

Ding Wei looked at him.

When she fell in love with Xie Yan, he was still a soft and thoughtful little fat man.

But now, the boy in front of her was thin, but handsome, and could even surpass her. She could already see some mature man's charm in his eyes.

She didn't know why, but her nose suddenly felt a little sore.

"My parents...are going to have a second child."

…

Xie Yan was obviously a little surprised.

He knew that Weiwei's parents had never liked her.

But in this world, he has heard a lot about the lack of close relationship between parents and children.

I just didn't expect that their persistence was not in this aspect at all.

"Is it a boy?"

As sharp as he is, he grasped the key points immediately.

"have no idea."

Ding Wei shook her head: "But I hope so. If not, she would have no chance of being born. But their obsession will not stop."

In her previous life, Bai Xiujuan gave birth to her second child when she was almost 50 years old. Ding Wei was only angry and disappointed at first.

I never thought about whether their unsuccessful and bloody life existed before this boy.

After all, if you want to see the gender, you can't do it in the first three months of pregnancy.

It can be seen from this that Bai Xiujuan's body is really not in vain.

Later, the reason why she kept asking for high-priced confinement nannies was that her health could not endure it... It was not just because of her age.

But...it has truly exhausted all my efforts.

But despite this, they are still so happy and satisfied.

…

Xie Yan didn't know how to evaluate it.

As smart as he is, he couldn't even think of anything to say at this moment.

In the end, I could only say three words with difficulty:

"Do not be sad."

He squeezed Ding Wei's hand.

Ding Wei buried her head in his shoulder.

"I am always thinking……"

I've been thinking about it since my last life.

"Am I not good enough? Am I not good enough? Am I lacking something compared to other people's children?"

"Why do they insist on having a boy?"

"Besides gender, are there any differences in our DNA inheritance?"

Xie Yan hugged her shoulders tightly without hesitation.

"There is no difference. You are better than anyone else...it's just that they will never see it."

He said these words of comfort that were not comforting, but he was actually quite distressed in his heart. However, on Ding Wei's face, the sadness and disappointment just now had long since disappeared, and her expression even looked a little cold.

"I won't be nice to them."

"I want them to see how girls they don't value can succeed step by step. So what if they have a son? Can his son support them in their old age?"

"It's impossible. I want my brother to leave his hometown far away when he grows up, so that this couple will always feel the fear of being homeless."

"I know that what they value most is not their son, but what they value -"

"Bring up children for the purpose of being looked after in old age."

"This is the reason why they desperately want a son. There is nothing about carrying on the family line, or favoring sons over daughters... They just want to have an upright descendant who can provide for them in their old age, and who can be endlessly oppressed and criticized on a moral level."

It is not about having a "married daughter throw away water" in the eyes of the public, so that the future cannot be guaranteed.

By the end of the story, Ding Wei's face was quite calm.

…

Xie Yan didn't say anything more, he just hugged her tightly again, and now his broad palm pressed on the back of her head, giving her a heavy soothing feeling.

"I know, don't be afraid.

"In my eyes, you are better than anyone else."

"I know."

Ding Wei raised her head and looked at him now:

"There is no one who is not good at hard work. I think I am."

Xie Yan was stunned for a moment, then laughed.

Because he is too thin, when he is not smiling, he actually has a sense of indifference and distance.

But now when she smiles, it's like the spring breeze melting into snow, her brows and corners of her eyes soften, and Ding Wei can't help but smile, her eyes full of tenderness.

——Oh, good-looking boys have this kind of charm.

When the smile faded, Xie Yan intertwined his fingers with hers.

"Don't worry about them too much. We will have our own home in the future."

Ding Wei nodded.

"I don't care, but sometimes I feel that I am too cold and heartless, so I reflect on myself all the time to avoid thinking too highly of myself and going astray."

Xie Yan:……
