Chapter 60: Comic Books and Inducing Labor
the next day.

Although they slept very late yesterday, Wang Mengde and his friend still got up at about the same time as usual.

Today is National Day. According to the "National Holiday and Memorial Day Holiday Regulations" formulated and issued by the state on December 49, 12, National Day is a holiday shared by all people and there will be two days off.

But this year is special, as the holiday on the 2nd happens to fall on Sunday. The statutory holiday regulations clearly stipulate that if a holiday for all people falls on Sunday, it should be made up on Monday.

Therefore, we can have three consecutive days off during this National Day.

After learning about this rule, Wang Mengde sighed in his heart, this is what a real holiday is.

In the past, some holidays were adjusted and counted as five-day holidays. In fact, after deducting weekends and make-up classes, there was only one day off. It was a complete lie.

Next to the pool in the middle courtyard, Wang Mengde was brushing his teeth, and Qin Huairu walked to his side, twisting her hips.

"Morning, Sister Qin." After spitting out a few mouthfuls of water, he turned his head to take a look and then greeted her.

"Hmph." Qin Huairu snorted coldly in a low voice. She looked haggard and her eyes were red.

She couldn't fall asleep last night because of the noise from the neighbors. When it was almost midnight, Wang Mengde and He Shengnan stopped making noise, and she couldn't fall asleep again. She was so worried that she couldn't fall asleep for a long time. It was not until dawn that she took a short nap.

He looked at her strangely. Qin Huairu always smiled at everyone she met before, so why did she look like this today?

But Wang Mengde didn't care about her. He quickly washed his hands, then turned around and went back home.

After breakfast, Wang Mengde rode his bicycle, and He Shengnan sat on the frame, with one arm around his waist, and the two rode towards Caochang Hutong.

There is a custom in the capital that women have to visit their parents on August 16th.

When they arrived at Caochang Hutong and just entered the yard, the He Shengwen brother and his sister He Yanan were already waiting for them at the door. When they saw Wang Mengde, the three of them rushed forward and called him brother-in-law.

His tone was so passionate that He Shengnan next to him couldn't help but feel jealous.

When we arrived in the living room, the first thing that caught our eyes was the three "rabbit gods" placed on the long table. These should be the toys for the three children for the Mid-Autumn Festival.

After he sat down on the chair, He Shengwen quickly poured him a cup of hot water, and then several people gathered around him, chattering.

"Brother-in-law, brother-in-law, the fathers of Tieniu and Xiaoze in the alley also made match guns for them, but I don't think their guns are as good as yours."

He Shengwu took out the match gun that Wang Mengde made for him from somewhere and said happily.

The match gun in his hand was the two brothers' treasure. Over the past month, it had made them the talk of the town in the alley. Every time they took it out, their friends would drool with envy.

"And me, and me. The skirt my brother-in-law gave me is also very beautiful." He Yanan showed off, not to be outdone.

If the weather hadn't been a little chilly in early October, she would have been reluctant to put the skirt in the closet.

"Haha, brother-in-law brought you another gift today." Wang Mengde said with a smile.

After saying that, he took out a few picture books of Romance of the Three Kingdoms from his bag.

"Wow, a comic strip!" He Shengwen and He Shengwu said in surprise.

Then he walked forward, carefully took a few picture books, and started reading them on the spot.

Most of the content in these picture books are printed in black and white illustrations with only a few words on them. Children especially like to read them.

Soon, the two of them began to watch with great interest.

At this time, He Youyu came back from exercising outside. He was holding two big walnuts in his hands, which made a crackling sound. Although he was over seventy years old and his hair and beard were already gray, he had practiced martial arts since he was a child, so he was still in good health.

Seeing Wang Mengde greet him, maybe he had figured it out, or maybe it was a done deal, he smiled and responded. After lunch at He's house, they rested for a while and prepared to go home.

At this time, the mother-in-law took He Shengnan's hand and the two of them came to the bedroom.

"Shengnan, are you planning to have a baby recently?" Zhou Xiaoyan asked in a low voice.

"Mom, Meng De said we are still young and should have children in a year or two." He Shengnan said with a blushing face.

Last night, during their break, they talked about this matter. In the end, she was persuaded by Wang Mengde and decided to spend some more time alone together.

"Silly girl, you can't wait a year or two to have a baby, you have to hurry up now, otherwise after a year or two, if you still don't have a baby, people who don't know the truth will gossip about you behind your back.

They don’t care whether you want it or not, and what they say is very unpleasant.”

Zhou Xiaoyan taught earnestly.

"Oh, really?"

"Mom can't lie to you. Go back and have the baby quickly. Try to get pregnant by the end of this year or early next year."

"Yes, Mom, I'll listen to you."

In the living room, He Youyu sat upright on a chair, constantly turning two walnuts. He stared at Wang Mengde, thought for a moment, and then slowly said:

"Meng De, in my life, besides my daughter, I also have four sons, who gave me a total of 15 grandchildren. They all learned martial arts since childhood. Among them, Shengnan has the highest talent and has learned most of the Baguazhang passed down in my family.

In the future, if you have children, feel free to pass it on. I won’t be so biased.”

After a pause, seeing that Wang Mengde was listening attentively, he continued, "I don't have any other requests. I just hope that you two can live a good life and don't have any big conflicts."

As he said this, he looked at Wang Mengde with a smile on his face.

He Youyu has been wandering the world since he was young, and has seen many men who cannot resist temptation. In front of women, the will of most men is like a layer of window paper, which will be broken with a poke.

Besides, for a man who is so handsome, there will definitely be a lot of women who will actively approach him. He experienced this deeply when he was young.

So, he took this opportunity to give his grandson-in-law a shot of prevention.

Wang Mengde, who was sitting nearby, of course understood the implication of his words. After all, the old man had just emphasized the words "15, all of them practice martial arts".

"Grandpa, don't worry, Shengnan and I won't have any major conflicts."

While agreeing with his mouth, he thought to himself that even if he wanted to, it was a pity that he was born at the wrong time.

In this day and age, if someone messes around and no one finds out, it's fine. But once someone reports it, it's all over for him because he has no connections or backing.

night.

After washing up, the two lay on the bed, ready to do some exercise before going to bed.

"Meng De, why don't we have a baby earlier?" Holding his dishonest hand, He Shengnan said with a blushing face.

After a moment's hesitation, Wang Mengde realized that both parents were beginning to put pressure on him, so he said, "Okay, then we'll do it next year."

After it was over, the two of them hugged each other and fell asleep quickly.

Tomorrow morning, they made an appointment to take the tram together to go for a stroll over the overpass.
