Republic of China: Guandong Ginseng King

Chapter 388 The Little Money-Loving Root

Meng Lanxin is pregnant, and Qu Shaoyang is about to have another child. It is naturally a happy event and everyone is very happy.

Li and Chen also advised Meng Lanxin that no matter what, she must be careful in the near future.

Meng Lanxin has been married for more than half a year. She finally got pregnant and she is looking forward to the child. For the sake of the child, she can only pay more attention to it.

The Chen family has just finished cleaning up, and the food and supplies have not been prepared yet, so they definitely can't cook at noon.

It just so happened that the food was ready at the Qu family's end, and Qu Shaoyang said it would be more lively for everyone to eat together.

He also instructed the maid to go to the school to pick up Shuanzhu and Xiaofeng.

These two children usually go to school and eat lunch with other children.

The situation today was special. When the two children heard that Gensuo and Genyou had returned, they immediately ran to the backyard to play with Gensuo and Genyou.

After lunch, Doctor Chen and Li led their people back to their home, while Liu Dongshan and Qu Shaoyang went to inspect the reinforcement work of the fence.

Lin Ruolan accompanied Meng Lanxin back to her residence and gave her many instructions.

Needless to say, Gensuo couldn't bear to leave his uncle and aunt, so he simply followed them to school.

The next day, Qu Shaoyang took Sun and Li to the government office and asked them to temporarily take on clerical work.

Then Qu Shaoyang found Gao Jiangcheng and talked to him, wanting Gao Jiangcheng to return to Andong to take over Chen Yunzhe's job.

As for Gao Jiangcheng's position, it was taken over by Cui Guoqing.

Cui Guoqing is a relative of the clerk in the military department of the East Road Government Office. He has been working in Maoershan for more than a year and is very reliable in his work.

No one can find fault with him being assigned to take over as assistant.

Gao Jiangcheng and Cui Guoqing had both been looking forward to this day. Now that their wish had come true, they were naturally very happy.

The two men handed over the tasks at hand, and then Gao Jiangcheng packed up his things and was escorted back to Phoenix by the patrol team.

After completing the procedures at the Dongbian Dao Yamen, he went to Andong to take up his post.

It just so happened that Chen Yunzhe was also in Andong, and the two of them made the handover, and Chen Yunzhe completely withdrew from the assistant government office.

In the blink of an eye, it was the end of June and Xiaogen was one year old.

On June 28th, the Qu family invited relatives and friends to hold a one-year-old birthday party for Genyou.

When the root is one year old, Qu Laokouer and Qu Jiang must come back.

Qu Shaoyang said, why not let Jinchang take a day off, give everyone a day off, and prepare some delicious food to improve the food.

Because of this, Qu Laokouer was unhappy even when he returned home for the banquet.

If the gold mine stops working for one day, ten kilograms of gold sand will be lost. What a huge loss!

But in front of relatives and friends, Qu Laokouer couldn't keep a straight face and could only bleed in his heart.

After all the guests arrived and before the banquet began, there was naturally the ceremony of grabbing the one-year-old child by Xiao Genyou.

It was still similar to the time of the search and grabbing ceremony. Li and Chen placed a lot of things around Genyou, and everyone stared at Genyou to see what he grabbed.

As a result, the child ran straight towards the gold ingot.

The gold ingot weighed ten taels and was too small to be held in one hand. But this boy was very clever. He held the gold ingot with both hands and put it in his arms.

Chen and Li wanted to coax Genyou to grab something else, but Genyou was not moved at all and just stared at the gold ingot in his arms.

"Oh, this kid recognizes gold. He will definitely make a lot of money in the future." The people next to him said hurriedly when they saw it.

When Qu Shaoyang heard this, he glanced at his old father standing beside him and thought, this is bad, will the second son take after his grandfather and become a money-grubber in the future?
Qu Shaoyang naturally didn't dare to say this out loud. When others complimented him, he could only smile awkwardly and nod.

After the one-year-old celebration was over, in the evening, Qu Shaoyang hugged his wife and dared to speak out his thoughts. When Chen Xiuyun heard what her husband said, she couldn't stop laughing.

"You really can think about it. Our father developed that kind of character because he was afraid of the hard life.

The second child has never lacked food and drink since he was young, how can he be like our father? Besides, the one-year-old ceremony is just that, it may not be accurate. "

"Well, I hope not. I don't want the second son to become a money-grubber in the future." Qu Shaoyang also laughed.

"By the way, I have something to discuss with you. My second child is over one year old, and I want to wean him off breast milk.

He is not so attached to breastfeeding now and is just thinking about eating all day long.

I was thinking of weaning my baby as soon as possible, so that the maids and wives at home could take care of her and I could do other things."

Chen Xiuyun laughed enough and then discussed serious matters with Qu Shaoyang.

"Ah? You're weaning your baby right after he turns one? Isn't that a little early?
I remember that my eldest child seemed to have been fed with milk for a few more months.

I'm afraid our mother and the others won't agree to this, right? If things go wrong, they might blame you again."

Qu Shaoyang didn't care about whether the baby could be weaned or not. He knew that Chen Xiuyun couldn't get enough rest if she was breastfeeding.

Especially as the Qu family's business grew larger and larger, as the wife in charge of the household chores, Chen Xiuyun had to manage the household and take care of the children, which was really hard.

"Okay, if you want to wean the baby, then do it. I'll talk to our mother and the others later. Just tell them it's my intention."

Qu Shaoyang thought about it and decided that there was nothing wrong with weaning, so he agreed.

The couple chatted for half the night, and it was not until very late that they went to bed.

Qu Jiang and Qu Laokouer are always in the gold field and seldom come back. Qu Jiang wants to go back two days later so that he can stay at home with his wife and children.

How could Qu Laokouer agree? The gold mine produces so much gold every day, and there is even more in the cabinet. If they are not there to watch over it, what if someone steals the gold?
So, early the next morning, Qu Laokouer no longer cared about Qu Jiang.

He drove the carriage himself, carrying some food and clothes, and left in a hurry.

"Mom, Xiuyun and I have been discussing weaning Genyou.

I originally thought of letting Gen eat for a while longer, but isn’t Lan Xin pregnant?
There was no one to help Xiuyun with the household chores and she was too busy to handle it.

I mean, can we bring Genyou to you first, and take away his milk while we can, and then we can take him back when he stops eating."

After breakfast, Qu Shaoyang went to the small courtyard at the east end, found Chen, and discussed things with her.

When Chen heard this, she was somewhat unhappy.

"You're weaning your child right after he turns one? Isn't that too early?

At the beginning, you brothers all ate it until you were about one and a half years old."

"Mom, our family was poor before, and we didn't have much to cook for the child, so I breastfed him for a while longer.

We have everything we need at home now, so the child has enough food to eat and it would be better if he could be weaned early.

This will prevent the child from growing up and becoming cunning, only clinging to milk and refusing to eat anything else."

Since Qu Shaoyang has already agreed to marry, he must find a way to convince Chen.

Chen looked at her son and realized that nothing she said would be of any use, so she sighed.

"Well, you are Genyou's parents, you can decide this matter yourselves.

Anyway, you guys bring the child here, and I will take care of him. It will only take three to five days at most, and then he will stop being sick."
