“Really? I don’t want you to lie to me. If you feel depressed or unhappy, you must tell me.” Jin Nian held Lu An’s face and asked worriedly.
Lu An kissed her forehead. “I’m telling the truth. I’m happy every day I’m with you. How can I not be happy? You and mother-in-law are thinking too much.”
Only then did Jin Nian heave a sigh of relief. When she heard Teacher Tan say that Lu An might be depressed, she felt like she was about to stop breathing.
She suddenly felt that she had been too selfish. In order to pursue her career, she had thrown the entire family to Lu An. Lu An had dedicated his all to the family without any complaints, but she had never considered Lu An’s feelings.
As she thought about it, Jin Nian’s eyes turned red.
Seeing that she was about to cry, Lu An immediately panicked. He quickly carried Jin Nian onto his lap and coaxed her softly, “Baby, don’t cry. I know you love me very much and are afraid that I will be unhappy at home. But 1 really don’t. On the contrary, 1 enjoy this life of taking care of children.”
Actually, Lu An didn’t enjoy taking care of the child. He enjoyed waiting for Jin Nian to come back home every day. Seeing her jump into his arms like a b.u.t.terfly, no matter how tired he was, he felt that everything was worth it.
As long as Jin Nian was happy, Lu An would be very happy.
Jin Nian leaned into his arms and smelled the faint wooden fragrance on his body. Suddenly, a thought came to her mind. “Babe, should we give Lu Keke a little sister?”
“So this is what you and your mother-in-law were talking about behind closed doors!” Lu An was stunned for a moment before smiling.
Jin Nian blushed. “My mom said that we should have another child when we’re young. Otherwise, it would be a waste of your outstanding genes. 1 actually quite like little girls. It would be great if we could have a younger sister.”
In fact, Jin Nian had fantasized about having a few more children after she got married. She liked it when the house was lively. She was the only daughter in the family. When she was young, she always felt that there was no one at home to play with her. During the New Year, there were only three of them, which seemed a little lonely.
When she was young Jin Nian thought that having three or four children would be fun for them to play mahjong together during the New Year!
However, after giving birth to Lu Keke, Jin Nian realized that having a child and raising a child were two completely different concepts. Raising a child requires a lot of effort.
There was an old saying in China that if parents loved their children, they would think for the long term. Therefore, parents were not only responsible for feeding and clothing their children. They needed to be responsible for their children’s future.
Nowadays, the compet.i.tion in society is becoming more and more intense. In order for their children to stand out, many parents signed up for all kinds of tuition cla.s.ses, learned all kinds of musical instruments, danced, sang, and in short, had to have a hobby.
Raising a child requires a lot of effort from the parents. Jin Nian had thought it through. It was impossible to have four children. Her ideal was to have two children, one boy and one girl.
Lu An hugged Jin Nian and kissed her. “I’ll listen to you. If you say so, we’ll give birth. Then I’ll go to the hospital to get the surgery done another day.”
Lu An had already undergone a vasectomy for more than a year. He thought that he would have to maintain it for a few more years, but he didn’t expect Jin Nian to take the initiative to ask for a second child.
Lu An couldn’t describe the feeling in his heart. He wanted a child, but he had seen with his own eyes the pain Jin Nian went through when she gave birth.
The doctor said Jin Nian’s delivery process was already very smooth, and her post-natal recovery was also very good. However, how could she guarantee that her second child would be as smooth as when she gave birth to Lu Keke?
Lu An’s feelings were very complicated. Although he had agreed to this request, he was not happy.
Soon, Jin Nian noticed that something was wrong with him. She looked up and asked, “Are you not happy that I said I’m having a second child?”
“I’m happy, but I’m more worried about you.” Lu An’s voice was a little hoa.r.s.e, and his eyes were red.
On the day of Jin Nian’s delivery, Lu An had been by the bedside with tears flowing uncontrollably. Now, just thinking about it made him feel afraid.
“It’s okay. As long as I exercise more during pregnancy and all the values are normal, there won’t be any problems. If we have another baby, we won’t give birth anymore. They’ll be enough.” Jin Nian revealed a blissful smile.
That night, Jin Nian had a dream. In her dream, a cute little girl ran towards her. She was wearing a white princess dress and a diamond crown on her head. Her face was identical to Lu Keke’s. She had blue eyes and called her mother sweetly.
When Jin Nian woke up, she still had a smile on her face, which made her even more determined to have a daughter.
One night, Jin Nian had dinner with a few friends. When Qiao Ranran learned that she was going to have a second child, she was very shocked. “Niannian, have you really thought it through? Nowadays, even young people find it troublesome to give birth to one child.. You actually want to give birth to two?”
