Spring comes to the desperate place

Chapter 162 Newcomers

Zhou Ning laughed out loud at Song Chunsheng's arrogance. When Song Chunsheng saw him laughing, he laughed too.

After laughing, Zhou Ning returned to his slightly sad expression. Seeing this, Song Chunsheng felt helpless: "What's wrong with you recently? You always seem to have no appetite?"

Zhou Ning bit his lower lip and hesitated for a long time before he spoke softly: "We have been married for almost a year, but there has been no movement in my belly..." When he said this, he felt sad. It is said that it is more difficult for a boy to get pregnant than a girl, but since they got married in February, there has been no movement in his belly. It would be fine if their husband and wife life was not harmonious, but they have their period every few days, and they still can't get pregnant with this frequency. This makes Zhou Ning doubt whether she can't have children.

Song Chunsheng never expected that his young husband would be so entangled about this matter, so he was a little amused. Under Zhou Ning's murderous gaze, he took out his usual crime tools from the bedside table, opened the small packaging bag and placed it in Zhou Ning's palm.

Zhou Ning knew that this was something he would use every time. The young man who had not received sex education did not know that the main function of this thing was contraception. Therefore, when he saw Song Chunsheng take it out, he thought he wanted it right away and couldn't help blushing.

"It's just getting dark, why did you take this out?"

Song Chunsheng knew that he was thinking wrongly, and quickly explained to him the function of this thing. After listening, Zhou Ning felt that the thing in his palm became even hotter.

"You, why are you like this? If you don't want a child, then just don't touch me."

"How can I bear not to touch you? But I am even more reluctant to let you endure the pain of childbirth at such a young age." Song Chunsheng held her in his arms.

"It is harder for boys to give birth than for girls. Even my mother felt like she was going through the gates of hell every time she gave birth. What's more, you are still so young. You will only be seventeen after the Chinese New Year. You are too young. Your body has not fully grown yet. Giving birth must be more painful."

Before Zhou Ning got married, Song Chunlin told Song Chunsheng that Zhou Ning suffered from severe malnutrition and anemia. If he got pregnant in this condition, it would be like taking his life. So Song Chunsheng decided to take good care of Zhou Ning's body first and wait until they were older before having a child.

Song Chunsheng asked Song Chunlin for condoms himself. At that time, he asked Song Chunlin if there was any way to prevent Zhou Ning from getting pregnant temporarily. Song Chunlin hesitated for a long time before blushing and stuffing a bunch of condoms into his hands, and also told him how to use them.

Song Chunsheng was only thinking about taking care of Zhou Ning's body, but he didn't expect Zhou Ning to think too much because she couldn't get pregnant for a long time.

"This is my fault. I forgot to tell you this. Now you don't have to worry about it. I plan to wait for two years at most. By then, I will be 19 and you will be 18. It's not too late to have a child at this age, don't you think?"

How could Zhou Ning say no? Since Song Chunsheng had his own arrangements, he had nothing to say. He had thought that there was something wrong with his health before, but now he knew that it was not the case. It was just a matter of postponing having a child for two years. Naturally, Zhou Ning had no objection.

After comforting the young husband, Song Chunsheng saw the relieved smile on his face. He pinched the much more delicate skin, and Song Chunsheng couldn't help feeling a little distracted. Zhou Ning looked at the change in his eyes and quickly struggled out of his arms.

"It's time to eat later. I'll go to the kitchen to see if there's anything else I can help with."

Song Dahe set the date as the 26th day of the twelfth lunar month. As there were only a few days left, Song Dahe only opened pre-orders for jam and no longer sold it individually. If you wanted to buy it, you had to make a reservation and pick it up the next day. Many people felt that this method was not very convenient, but some people thought it was very good. Once you had ordered the quantity, you didn't have to worry about not being able to buy it, and even the queues were much shorter.

Song Dazhuang, with his younger brother and son, only needed to drive the cart to pull the goods over, and the customers who had made reservations would pay and get the goods. The speed was much faster than before. Some customers wanted to sell in bulk, but Song Dazhuang only allowed them to make reservations. As a result, he lost a lot of new customers, but Song Dazhuang didn't care. He was too busy with these old customers alone, so how could he have time to develop new ones?

After changing the model, their jam was sold out just after noon, and seeing that the pre-order quantity was almost reached, Song Dazhuang closed up his stall, and the group went to prepare things for Song Dahao's wedding.

The furniture had been moved in a long time ago. Song Qinshi and Song A'mo had been there often to clean the new house. There was no well in the new house, so Song Dahe pulled a pipe to pump water from the Song family's side. He also asked Song Chunlin for some solar panels to put on the roof. Every day, they only needed to pull the gate to use water freely. As for the lights that turned on with a wave of the hand, Song Dahe did not install them as they were too eye-catching. Wind lamps were more convenient. Not only could the brightness be adjusted, but they were also not easy to extinguish.

On the 26th, Chen Yuer got up before dawn. Li Gensheng did not sleep well the whole night, so when she woke up, Li Gensheng woke up too.

"Why don't you sleep a little longer?"

Li Gensheng pursed his lips and said nothing. He got up but did not put on any clothes. He just sat on the bed wrapped in a quilt and looked at his mother. Chen Yuer felt a little helpless when she saw him looking at her. She walked over and touched her son's head.

"Don't worry, your uncle Dahe is a good man."

Li Gensheng lowered his head to prevent her from touching him, and said in a muffled voice: "I know." However, no matter how good the other person was, he was still a bad guy who wanted to take his mother away.

When it was just getting light, there was a knock on the door of the workshop. It was the lady who had been scheduled to come in advance, as well as several aunts who had been working in the workshop before. Song Dahe had specifically instructed this, saying that Chen Yuer was an orphan and a widow with no relatives here, so he invited these aunts to come and accompany her and take care of Li Gensheng.

Li Gensheng watched his mother sitting on the chair, letting the women dress her up. Because it was her second marriage, Chen Yuer could not use gold jewelry, so she wore a gorgeous silver crown on her head. The crown was taken out from Song Chunlin's space. Although silver is not as expensive as gold, this crown is exquisitely made, complicated and gorgeous. In terms of workmanship alone, it is not inferior to gold.

After this period of recuperation, Chen Yuer's complexion became rosy. After this makeup, she immediately looked much younger and more beautiful. Not to mention those women, even Li Gensheng, who had been living with her, couldn't help but look at her in a daze.

Because it was a double happiness, Song Dahao was much more generous in entertaining guests this time than when he went to Daliang. Twenty tables were neatly arranged in the newly built courtyard, and almost all the acquaintances were invited.

The wedding banquet was scheduled for the afternoon. Song Dahao picked up the bride, drove the carriage around in a big circle, and came back from the village before carrying the newlywed down. Li Gensheng followed Chen Yuer closely until they entered the bridal chamber. He came to his senses and stood at the door of their new room, refusing to go in.

Seeing that he looked awkward, Song Daha thought that his son was not considerate and that his daughter was better. However, he still smiled, reached out and rubbed the boy's head, then waved to call Song Chunlin over.

"Chunlin, take him to his room."

Song Chunlin agreed, and then called Li Gensheng to join him. Although Li Gensheng felt uncomfortable, he was still very curious about what his new room looked like.

He originally thought that Song Daha would just find a small house for him to live in, but when he followed Song Chunlin to his room, he was immediately shocked by the spacious and bright room.

He looked at Song Chunlin, a little uncertain: "Is this really my room? It's so big?"

Song Chunlin nodded and pulled him into the house.

"This is specially prepared for you by your second uncle. Haven't you been learning to read recently? He picked a big desk for this, and he also picked out the furniture and bedding after trying them out. Come and sit on it. Is it comfortable?"

Li Gensheng sat on the soft bed with half belief and half doubt. As soon as his butt touched it, he noticed something different.

"This bed is so soft!" It is much softer than the wooden bed he is sleeping on now. The goose yellow sheets are also very comfortable to touch. Li Gensheng stroked the pure cotton sheets with his fingers, his eyes lowered, not knowing what he was thinking.

Song Chunlin was actually a little envious of him, because the only requirement Chen Yuer had for remarrying was that Li Gensheng must follow her, instead of being like his parents in his previous life, who regarded him as a burden after forming a new family and left him alone to his grandparents. After his grandparents passed away, they never took care of him again.

After exploring his new room, a banquet was served outside. Song Chunlin pulled Li Gensheng out for the banquet. Chen Yuer was also at the banquet. She took off the heavy ornaments on her head and suddenly felt that her head had become several pounds lighter.

Seeing her son following Song Chunlin, she called them over with a smile in her eyes.

After Song Chunlin sent the person away, he left with a smile and returned to his own children's table. Li Gensheng was enthusiastically pulled to the main table by Grandpa Song and Grandma Song. Li Gensheng was a little flattered.

Chen Yuer also said hurriedly: "Let him sit at the same table with Chunlin and the others. They are all children and can eat comfortably."

Grandpa Song also waved his hand: "Just sit here. He is your son and will be Da He's son in the future. It would be ridiculous for him not to sit here."

Listening to what Grandpa Song said, Chen Yuer and Li Gensheng felt warm in their hearts. Knowing that the Song family had completely accepted them and their son, they felt a little sore in their eyes.

The news that Song Daha was going to marry Chen Yuer came when he invited everyone to his housewarming party. Many people privately said that Chen Yuer was very capable and had managed to seduce Song Daha, a county lord, and made him fall in love with her. Regardless of her status as a widow with a son, he insisted on marrying her with great fanfare.

When Chen Yuer just walked in, she felt several unfriendly gazes on her. Chen Yuer didn't intend to pay attention to them. After all, no matter who Song Dahao finally married, these people would gossip about it.

As county earls, Lu Ming and Fu Nian were not as popular as Song Dahe. The two men were disabled and much older than Song Dahe. Families who loved their children naturally did not want to marry their daughters or sons to them. Widows like Chen Yuer also had thoughts about it, but neither Lu Ming nor Fu Nian had such thoughts, so each of them returned empty-handed.

Now that they saw that Chen Yuer was able to defeat Song Daha, this group of people became more active.

On the second day after Song Dahe and Chen Yuer got married, they went to pay tea to Grandpa Song and Grandma Song. Yesterday was the wedding banquet, and today was the family dinner.

Chen Yuer has no one to return to her parents' home now, so she simply skipped the process and came directly to help prepare for the New Year.

As the year draws to a close, the jam business has long ended, but the pastry shop is still open. Brother Su said that his shop will be open until the 29th, so their family only needs to deliver the jam that Shengji wants every day.

On the 28th, Su Ge'er stopped the delivery man Song Chunsheng and asked him if he had any jam after the Chinese New Year.

Of course there was jam, but Song Chunsheng couldn't make the decision on this matter, so he could only come back and ask Song Chunlin.

Song Chunlin calculated the inventory of jam and found that there were more than a thousand cans left, which should allow Su Ge'er to sell them for more than a month.

Song Chunsheng replied to Su Ge'er truthfully. After receiving the reply, the other party smiled happily and packed a lot of cakes and pastries to Song Chunsheng. Song Chunsheng didn't want them at first, but he couldn't refuse the other party's kindness, so he had to bite the bullet and accept them.

The Song family knew who the other party was, and everyone had mixed feelings when they saw the pile of pastries that Song Chunsheng brought back.

"Well, if it weren't for this, he would have been a pretty good kid."

Aunt Song spitted at her son, "What nonsense! How can he be blamed for the evil his father did? It's just the child's bad luck to have such a father. Chunlin collects some of these things first, and we can save the rest for the New Year."

Chen Yuer, who had just gotten married, didn't quite understand why she had to find Song Chunlin to collect things. Zhou Ning saw her confusion and just told her that all the warehouses in the house were under the management of Song Chunlin.

This sounded a bit strange, but Chen Yuer didn't live in the Song family, so she didn't ask any more questions.

The Song family had a really lively New Year this year. Not only did they have a new baby, but they also married two good new wives. Grandpa Song and Grandma Song were so happy that they couldn't stop smiling. With so many younger generations in the family, there was nothing for them old guys to do, so they simply took Song Yuanyuan and Song Chunxiao with them and let the adults take care of everything.

Song Chunming could also do some work within his ability, such as passing things. Li Gensheng was one year younger than Song Chunlin. He originally thought that he would be uncomfortable staying in the Song family, but he didn't expect that every one of the younger generations of the Song family treated him as an outsider. As long as the work was not too heavy, he could get a share. No one treated him differently just because he was not surnamed Song.

Li Gensheng thought this was great, as it made him feel that he was no different from the other grandchildren of the Song family, and so he worked particularly hard.

When he returned home in the evening, Chen Yuer came to him and asked him how he felt and whether he got along well with the children of the Song family. Li Gensheng tilted his head, thought about it, and shook his head.

"My son doesn't think there's anything wrong with it. Yuanyuan and Chunxiao are both very cute, Chunming is very well behaved, and brother Chunlin is also very capable. He knows a lot, and brother Chunsheng...he always hangs around his wife."
