I won't be a loser.

Everyone's Sage: 397. You can have children, we will raise them

"Received yet?"

At the end of December, when the year was about to end, Xianren, who was sitting in the apartment with Feng Xiaochun, watching TV and drinking juice, suddenly received a call from Sanye.

She asked a strange question right at the beginning, leaving Xianren, who was watching the show, confused as to what Mitsuha meant by "received".

"What did you receive?"

"What, what? I was asking if you received anything. Besides the gift, there's nothing else, right?"

Sanye's voice became a little anxious, and seemed a little dissatisfied, which made Xianren, who was sitting in the living room, couldn't help but move the mobile phone away from his ear. After a while, he put it back to his ear.

"No, I didn't receive any gifts, and I wasn't notified by phone. Maybe it hasn't arrived yet. What did you give me?"

"Wait until the gift is delivered to you and you open it yourself and you'll know. If I tell you now, what other surprises can there be?"

"But I already know you gave me a gift. Even if you tell me what it is, it won't matter, right?"

He has never cared about surprises, so he asked about the other party's gift. To Sanye's evasive answer, his answer seemed very bland, even a little unkind, causing Sanye on the other end to hang up the phone directly.

"Ah, I'm hanging up."

"Is this Mitsuha's call?"

Feng Xiaochun's gaze fell on Xianren. She had heard their conversation just now, but she did not disturb the call between the brother and sister. It was not until the call ended that she asked.

"Well, it seems like she sent me a gift, but it hasn't arrived yet, so she called to ask about it. I didn't receive a call from the postman, so it might still be on the way."

"Chinese New Year is coming soon. Would it be a good idea for me to give gifts to Sanye, Yotsuba, and Mother as well?"

Feng Xiaochun, who has completely integrated herself into the role of a wife, even sought the advice of her wise husband when it came to giving gifts.

The wise man began to think seriously, his expression looking somewhat deep. He thought seriously about Feng Xiaochun sending him a gift, his eyes slowly fell on Feng Xiaochun, he was silent for a moment, and nodded slightly.

"It's okay to send some gifts back. Mother might not care much about these things, but Sanye and Siye will definitely be happy to receive the gifts. But the gifts don't need to be too expensive. It may not be safe on the road. If it's a valuable item, just give it to them when you meet them."

Facing Feng Xiaochun, who had a mature hairstyle and was sitting quietly beside him, he closed his eyes and thought for a while. Then he agreed to her sending a gift and gave her some suggestions.

"Well, what kind of gifts would be good? Winter clothes that are popular now?"

"I've already bought some clothes... Well, speaking of which, I still don't know what gifts to get your parents this year. If I don't give them anything, my mother, who's already not very happy with me, will be even more unhappy."

He reached out and gently rubbed his eyebrows, thinking about the Feng family. In just a moment, Xianren felt a headache coming on.

"Mother likes fans."

"Your father, could you please send some tea?"

He still had some savings, such as some high-end tea, the price of which was within his affordable range. If he could use the money to improve his situation, he would not mind the Feng family's views and attitudes towards him.

"Father prefers drinking."

"..."

After a moment of silence, the wise man sitting in the room looked at Feng Xiaochun and pointed at himself.

"I'm not old enough to buy alcohol."

It's not that there is no way out. For example, it is not impossible to buy high-end wines in some private wine cellars or some high-end places, but it is possible to be refused hospitality. In addition, if you are not of legal age to purchase, it may also cause some trouble.

"Then sending tea probably won't be a big deal."

"Then let's have tea leaves."

He nodded slightly and looked at the dim sky outside the window. It was currently 4 o'clock in the afternoon, but the sky had already darkened. After a while, it would be completely dark.

"Do you know where I can buy some tea?"

Feng Xiaochun was silent for a moment.

"Maybe, you know?"

"Forget it. It's already this late today, so it's not appropriate to go out. Let's wait until tomorrow. Tomorrow morning, I'll go to the place you know and visit your house in the afternoon. Then come back in the evening."

Xianren absolutely refused the idea of staying at Feng Xiaochun's house and celebrating the New Year with Feng's family. He didn't want to spend the New Year facing Feng Xiaochun's mother's disgusted eyes and expression.

"Ah."

Feng Xiaochun didn't have any objections. After all, they were already married, so naturally, things should be based on the husband's virtue. She would not have any objections in this regard...

I originally planned to get up around 8 o'clock in the morning, but when I opened my eyes, I found that it was already 10 o'clock, almost noon.

"Haru, are you awake?"

He touched his side and felt a warm body. He turned his head to look at Feng Xiaochun who was still sleeping. Thinking of how he had slept a little late last night, he took a deep breath, rubbed his eyes with his hand, got up from the quilt, and quietly walked out of the bedroom.

After going to the bathroom and washing up, Xianren returned to the bedroom. Looking at Feng Xiaochun who was still sleeping, he reached out and gently placed his hand on her cheek, rubbing it twice.

"Well--"

"It's already noon, Xiaochun, and I have to go to your house this afternoon."

"Uh, um...I get it."

"Then I'll go prepare lunch. You can get ready and then get up."

Theoretically, Xianren should be more tired than Feng Xiaochun, but for some reason Feng Xiaochun prefers to stay in bed. Seeing his wife who was unwilling to open her eyes, Xianren did not disturb her. He quietly left the bedroom and started preparing lunch.

The refrigerator is already full of food. Many stores will be closed for a period of time on New Year's Day, so in order to avoid trouble, the wise man stocked up some food at home.

After some simple preparation, which took about half an hour, a simple lunch was prepared, and then the wise man returned to his bedroom.

Looking at Feng Xiaochun who had barely sat up but had not yet opened his eyes, he felt a little helpless.

For example, fans do not have any special meaning to ordinary people, and few people pay attention to such items. However, for some noble ladies from the upper class, they have extraordinary significance.

After learning that Feng Xiaochun's mother liked folding fans, the virtuous man took Feng Xiaochun's hand and went shopping with her in many shops. After learning about some high-end shops, he took the initiative to inquire about some of the latest works. After confirming with Feng Xiaochun again and again, he bought a sandalwood fan as a gift for his mother-in-law.

The price was 231,000 yen, or 23 yen, which was equivalent to a month's salary for a salaried worker. It was a complete luxury item, but considering his mother-in-law's mood, Kento did not hesitate.

"Is one enough?"

If you give more, I feel like this gift will make people less satisfied.

"Well, this will do."

Feng Xiaochun nodded and gave an affirmative answer. Xianren no longer hesitated and went with her to the next store to start choosing a gift for his father-in-law.

It took the two of them almost three hours to choose gifts for their father-in-law and mother-in-law, and they arrived at Feng's house together before four o'clock in the afternoon. After learning that both of them were at home, Xianren's eyes fell on Feng Xiaochun.

"Give this to your mother, and I'll give it to your father."

The two gift boxes in his hands were different products from different stores, so the outer packaging was also different. The fan was given to Feng Xiaochun. Xianren really didn't want to meet his mother-in-law, who was really full of prejudice against him, but it was also for very normal reasons. In front of his mother-in-law, no matter how many ideas he had, he could only hold them in his stomach. It would be better for him to let his wife, Feng Xiaochun, deal with the other party, and go to meet his father-in-law.

"Are you going to meet Dad?"

"Well, this is more appropriate, and it should also be delivered more smoothly."

The two looked at each other, and Feng Xiaochun understood Xianren's thoughts. Knowing that Xianren didn't want to meet his mother, he took the gift from his hand.

"Then I'll give this gift to Mom, and you go see Dad."

"Ah."

The two people standing in the living room had a brief exchange, then asked the maid at home and went to different places. Feng Xiaochun's father was in the study, a place that the wise man was very familiar with. He didn't need anyone to lead the way, and he easily found the place and came to the door of the study.

The door was half open. The other person was sitting in the study, reading a book alone, while the wise man was standing at the door, slowly kneeling at the door and bowing his head gently.

"Father, it's been a while since I last saw you."

The man sitting in the study room looked at the wise man.

"You are here, come in."

Although he was very dissatisfied with the young man who cheated his daughter away, Feng Wulang was not an unreasonable person. He knew that his daughter would have to rely on this young man in the future. There was a hint of annoyance in his eyes. He looked at the other party, raised his head, holding a gift box in his hand, slowly walked into the study, and held the gift box in front of him.

"This is a gift that Chun prepared specially for you on the way."

"Ok?"

If it was a gift he prepared, Xianren didn't know if the other party would be interested, but in the name of Feng Xiaochun——

The man in front of him was obviously interested. He raised his head and glanced at the gift box in the sage's hand. As the sage handed it to him, he stretched out his hands, took it solemnly, and looked carefully at the gift box in front of him.

"Where's Xiaochun?"

"I'm going to see Mother. She should be here soon."

"..."

Feng Wulang stared at the young man in front of him for a few more seconds, then looked down at the gift in his hand and opened it casually. Looking at the tea can lying quietly inside, he pursed his lips.

"Xiaochun has never prepared a gift for me since she was a child. You are so thoughtful."

"I spent the entire afternoon with Xiaochun choosing before she finally decided to give this gift to her father."

"Even if it was her decision, you must have been the one who suggested it. Thinking of giving us a gift isn't too bad. So you qualify, right?"

Feng Wulang sighed, accepted the gift in front of him, and probably understood the situation.

"You were worried that she would be rejected if you gave her a gift, so you asked Xiaochun to give it to her on your behalf?"

Even though she was prepared to be exposed in her heart, she didn't expect it to be exposed so quickly. Facing the man in front of her, Xianren showed an awkward smile on her face, but soon calmed down and nodded slightly.

"Yes."

"Although I was a little dissatisfied at first, seeing that Xiaochun was very happy, I realized that she didn't really hate you that much. There's no need to hide from her. What you should do is show up in front of her more often. After you get to know each other, there won't be so much of a barrier between you."

Feng Wulang knew everything about his wife and the young man in front of him. Things were not as simple as he said. However, if the two of them kept their distance, one was dissatisfied and the other was avoiding the other, unwilling to meet and communicate, and take the initiative to show goodwill, then this matter would never be resolved.

"I understand."

"I'm glad you really understand. You and Xiaochun have been married for such a long time. When did you start thinking about having children?"

"...For now, we're still in high school. It would be better to consider this matter in our third year of college, or after graduation. Xiaochun and I are not ready to be parents yet."

The answer that had already been given to Feng Xiaochun once appeared again in Xianren's mouth. Feng Wulang stared at the young man in front of him and slowly lowered his eyebrows.

"It's not too early to have a baby now. Giving birth to a baby sooner will put our minds at ease. Besides, Xiaochun's mother has always been looking forward to having a grandson or granddaughter."

"I'm very worried about Xiaochun's health. From a scientific point of view, it would be safer to have a child around the age of 23. I don't want to hurt her because of giving birth."

The respectful and calm answer made Feng Wulang frown. In his heart, he still hoped that his daughter would give birth to a child as soon as possible, so as to alleviate his worries about the inheritance of future generations.

"You don't need to worry about this. Having a baby as soon as possible will also give us parents peace of mind."

When writing about urging marriage and childbirth, it always feels particularly smooth and touching.

Our Sages: 398. Family and Relatives

Feng Wulang did not lack sympathy for his daughter, but when facing the attitude of the wise man, who seemed to care about and understand Feng Xiaochun better than he did, he couldn't help but frown, and a feeling of dissatisfaction gradually brewed in his heart.

"I've raised her for over ten years, and you've only known her for a few years?"

"I've witnessed him grow up, and yet I'm not as good as you, a young boy who just showed up?"

Even if he didn't say anything, his eyes and heart showed this thought, which had already filled his heart. He stared at the wise man in front of him and slowly narrowed his eyes.

The wise man who was being watched also noticed the subtle change in the atmosphere and knew that if he did not give a satisfactory answer, things would probably develop in a worse direction.

"I understand. I will seriously consider this matter with Chun and discuss it with the doctor to make a reasonable plan."

It was a bit perfunctory, but he agreed. Feng Wulang's expression also improved slightly. He nodded lightly. He felt happy that the wise man bowed to him.

"Xiaochun is my important daughter, and I also value her health. So after the baby is born, I will let her mother take care of her personally. You don't need to worry about her physical problems."

"..."

He pursed his lips slightly. What other answer could the wise man give at this time? The other party probably wouldn't listen. He could only nod slightly, acknowledging his foresight and agreeing with the other party's opinion.

The other party did not regard his identity as an equal. Even if it was not as obvious as Xiaochun's mother, he probably had a lot of prejudice in his heart. In such a situation, any objection he made would be an offense to the dignity of the elders. Only by keeping his head down and being humble could he ensure that the atmosphere would not be destroyed.

Only in such a situation will he understand the influence of class on a person, such as not fearing power?

He is just an ordinary person, and the other party is Feng Xiaochun's father.

From the perspective of traditional morality alone, he would not be supported in contradicting Feng Wulang. After the two chatted for a while, footsteps were heard outside the study, and Feng Xiaochun appeared in front of them.

Looking at the smiling sage and his dignified father, Feng Xiaochun was silent for a moment, greeted his father softly, chatted about some family matters and things when he was not at home, and then led the sage out of the study.

Walking under the eaves, the girl returned to Feng Xiaochun's room and gently closed the door.
