Chapter 381: How to Practice with It On
In fact, Zheng Shuyi was just speaking in the heat of the moment after seeing Xixi, and she didn’t necessarily truly want to have a daughter. But unintentionally, her words were heard with different intentions. Dong Yue’e frowned upon hearing such remarks.
Fortunately, Dong Yue’e was not an ordinary mother-in-law. She could handle Yang Chonggui, and she, who had lived with Yang Chonggui for decades, was not as biased in her thinking as other mothers-in-law in the village.
After pondering for a moment, she smiled and said to Zheng Shuyi, “Shuyi, it’s not just daughters who are so cute, sons are great too. Look at Tiezi and Qingzi, the two brothers, they were lively and energetic when they were young, and they grew up to be sensible and filial!”
Zheng Shuyi, after all, also grew up in a similar environment. She immediately understood Dong Yue’e’s meaning and hurriedly said, “Aunt Dong, I understand, I’ll aim for a son.”
“It’s not necessarily that you have to have a son. A few months ago, the county even sent people to promote that it’s the same whether you have a son or a daughter, and I’m not so unreasonable.” Dong Yue’e looked at Zheng Shuyi with a smile. But she continued, “If you really have a daughter, we will be happy too. Look at your Uncle Yang, isn’t he always doting on little Yang Xi?”
“It’s just that our old Yang family now only has this one branch left. Your Uncle Yang also hopes for more male descendants, to keep the family line strong!” Dong Yue’e looked at Mo Fei again, “Mo Fei, it’s not that mom is urging you, but it’s been a while since you had your first child. You and Tiezi, haven’t you two considered having another one?”
……
Zheng Shuyi’s arrival brought more cheerful conversation and laughter to the post-dinner chat at the Yang family’s home.
Yang Yi and Mo Fei didn’t talk much. Yang Qing was a reserved person, only speaking when asked, and he usually had a low presence. In the past few days, it was Yang Huan and Xixi, the two cheerful ones, who livened up the atmosphere.
After Zheng Shuyi arrived, there were more topics to talk about. After she got through her initial reserved period, her cheerful personality also allowed her to quickly integrate into this big family. Being eloquent, she also helped Yang Qing to speak up on some matters.
For example, she took the initiative to pour tea for Yang Yi and said, “Big Brother Tiezi, thank you for your support. Qingzi has told me everything. If it weren’t for your help in providing the dowry money, both Qingzi and I wouldn’t know what to do.”
Yang Yi smiled and took the tea. He looked at Zheng Shuyi and Yang Qing holding hands together and said, “You don’t need to thank me. When two people are meant to be together, they will eventually become family. You and Qingzi are destined for each other, and it’s your mutual affection that brought you together. Even if I didn’t have this money, Qingzi would have tried everything to earn money to marry you. I just did what an older brother should do, to spare him some hardship, and to prevent your relationship from being so bumpy. Don’t you agree with what I said?”
Yang Qing and Zheng Shuyi nodded vigorously. Zheng Shuyi gratefully said, “Although you put it that way, I still want to thank you.”
……
When night fell, Zheng Shuyi was sent back, and Yang Yi drove Yang Qing back. After he got out of the car, he patted Yang Qing’s shoulder and smiled, saying, “Find a time, you go to town, learn to drive, get your driver’s license, and when you get married, I will give you a car as a gift.”
“Really? No no, it’s too expensive, big brother. You have already paid for the dowry for us, how could I accept such an expensive gift from you?” Yang Qing, after all, was a man and naturally had an appreciation for cars, but he quickly refused.
“Buying you a car is not just about giving it to you!” Yang Yi knew Yang Qing’s character, and he had already prepared his argument. He smiled and said, “I’m buying it for you to show filial piety to our parents. Sometimes when they want to go somewhere, you can drive them there! Besides, if Shuyi wants to go back to her parents’ house, without a car, would you have the heart to let her ride a tractor back?”
This reason made Yang Qing unable to refuse, so he had to silently nod his head.
Yang Yi went back upstairs to find Xixi, who was already sitting cross-legged on the bed after taking a bath, watching TV intently. However, the TV reception wasn’t good, only receiving channels from Peijun City and a few county channels, none of which were showing cartoons, and Xixi couldn’t understand the content.
Turning her head and seeing her father coming back, the little girl immediately got up from the bed and stepped on the quilt. She pouted and said, “Papa, I don’t want to watch this channel. Can you help me find that one, the one with Big Bear and Second Bear, please?”
“There’s no Big Bear and Second Bear here. There are only these few channels.” Yang Yi shook his head with a bitter smile.
Local channels have a lot of advertisements, and the quality of the TV shows they broadcast is also poor. Neither Yang Yi nor Mo Fei liked watching them, let alone Xixi. But there’s nothing they could do. The TV service providers haven’t been able to expand their services to Wudaokou Village. They could only hope for a turnaround after the roads are repaired.
However, when she heard her father say this, Xixi felt a bit wronged. She eagerly tugged at her father’s clothes and said, “Papa, I want to go home.”
“Go home? Why?” Yang Yi asked in surprise, hadn’t the little girl been having fun the past few days?

“It’s not fun here, there’s no Big Bear or Second Bear to watch, and then, then Xiao Guai and the others aren’t here. I miss Xin’er and Qiqi too!” Xixi became sadder as she spoke.
Yang Yi quickly sat down, held her in his arms, and comforted her, “How could it not be fun? Weren’t you having a great time with Grandpa this morning?”
“But, but grandpa goes to sleep at night.” Xixi’s eyes turned red, she pulled on her father’s clothes and said sadly, “And then it’s dark outside, it’s scary.”
“Why is Xixi crying?” Mo Fei had just come out of the shower and was drying her hair. Hearing Xixi’s crying, she looked at Yang Yi with some confusion.
“Mama, I want to go home.” The little girl sobbed in grievance. freeweɓnovēl.coɱ
“She’s too bored at night.” Yang Yi said with a bitter smile.
Mo Fei sat next to Yang Yi, reached out to gently pinched her daughter’s nose, and said softly, “We will go home, but not now. We need to wait until after the Spring Festival! Besides, didn’t you say you were going to see the dog have puppies with Grandpa tomorrow? If we go back home, how will you watch the dog have puppies?”
Xixi was stunned. She didn’t seem to have thought about this problem. Now that she thought about it, she perked up again. Although her eyes were still red, she pouted and said, “Then, then I won’t go back yet, I want to see the dog have puppies.”
After coaxing his daughter, Yang Yi breathed a sigh of relief. He then began to rack his brains to tell Xixi stories, finally making her laugh through her tears, and then she fell asleep peacefully.
When tomorrow comes, the little girl probably won’t even think about going back, because there are still many unknown places in the village waiting for her to explore.
However, Mo Fei had some worries. After Xixi fell asleep, she hugged Yang Yi’s arm and started to confide in him, “Yang Yi, what if we have another daughter for our second child? What are we going to do?”
“Another daughter?” Yang Yi smiled brightly, “That’s a good thing! I’ll have another daughter, and then Xixi will have a little sister!”
“Oh, that’s not what I mean! It’s because Mom, she wants a grandson, and Dad too…” Mo Fei told Yang Yi about what Dong Yue’e had said to her and Zheng Shuyi in the morning, and said with some concern, “Actually, I also want a son, one boy and one girl, it would be so wonderful! But I’m afraid of having another daughter, then Dad and Mom will be disappointed.”
“You big silly, if you have another daughter, Dad and Mom won’t blame you. Isn’t there still my brother and his wife?” Yang Yi said with a smile, “And, you don’t even know if it will be a daughter! Maybe, it will turn out to be a son, and then everyone will be happy, right?”
“But what if it turns out to be a daughter?” Mo Fei asked anxiously.
“If it’s a daughter, let me tell you, I’d be over the moon! And Dad and Mom wouldn’t be disappointed because of this. Look at my dad, isn’t he also doting on Xixi now? Girls are still better, they’re sweet and adorable.” Yang Yi reassured, patting his chest.
“I know you’re comforting me!” Mo Fei actually felt reassured by Yang Yi’s words, although she still said so with a grumble.
“Speaking of which, it’s not enough to just talk, we have to put it into practice!” Yang Yi leaned in close to Mo Fei’s ear, “If you want to have a second child, you have to practice more, practice makes perfect…”
“Oh, stop it, Xixi is still here!” Mo Fei’s face turned red.
“Next door! Didn’t you see, I bought not only furniture and appliances the day before yesterday, but also bedding and stuff? And, they’re all washed clean, aired out for two days, smelling nice and fresh!” Yang Yi chuckled.
“No wonder, I forgive you for planning ahead!” Mo Fei twisted a bit, her ears turned a pink hue, and reached out to pinch Yang Yi’s waist.
As if hearing a starting gun, Yang Yi swung his bare legs off of bed, unbothered by the cold, grabbed a coat and wrapped Mo Fei, who was wearing warm pajamas, and picked her up.
Mo Fei was tall and not light, but Yang Yi was strong, so he carried her easily.
“Ah!” Mo Fei was startled by his hurried manner and let out a cry.
However, seeing Yang Yi rummaging through the luggage bag next to him, Mo Fei hooked one hand around Yang Yi’s neck, pulled Yang Yi’s hand with the other, and said with a red face, “No need!”
Yang Yi misunderstood and smiled, half comforting and half teasing, “Hehe, don’t worry, I know it’s not easy to buy this large size, so I brought a few boxes back, it’s enough!”
Mo Fei was so embarrassed that she buried her head in Yang Yi’s chest, and said in a muffled voice, “Didn’t say to practice? How to practice with it on…”
Yang Yi was overjoyed.
