Chapter 159. Mom is the oldest, dad is the second, and baby is the youngest.
After the second aunt’s enlightening explanation, everyone burst into laughter.
Lianshan gave his little boy a big kiss on his tender cheek: "Oh my dear son, you are so clever and sensible, with such a good memory. Little Lian’en, what do you want to be when you grow up?"
The little guy, who was just two and a half years old, furrowed his little eyebrows upon hearing this and pretended to think hard. After a while, he seriously said, "I want to be a policeman and catch thieves. I want to be a good brother and protect my sister!"
Knowing that this child is a girl, Shuzhen was worried that her silly husband might be disappointed, feeling upset about not having a clever son like Little Lian’en and, as a result, might neglect their eldest daughter. Since confirming her pregnancy, Shuzhen subtly murmured that her reaction to this pregnancy was different from the last, wondering if it was a girl.
Seeing her troubled appearance made Lianshan feel tender-hearted, so he lowered his stance and coaxed her for several days, promising that he would love both their daughter and their son. Now that they have a son, having a daughter would complete the "good" character. He even spent days sweet-talking the flat belly, calling it their eldest daughter, before finally managing to lift her spirits. But when he turned to wipe his sweat, he didn’t notice the cunning smile of his wife’s plan succeeding.
Shuzhen, as the mother, went to great lengths to ensure the status of their eldest daughter in the family.
As for the outcome, it is yet unknown, but Little Lian’en is truly convinced that his mother is pregnant with a sister.
From the first day his mom’s pregnancy was confirmed, the child had been constantly instilled with the idea of being a good brother, protecting his sister. Now, subtly, it has become his second biggest aspiration aside from catching thieves as a policeman.
Being somewhat satisfied with her educational ’success’, Shuzhen merely smiled faintly, while Liu Shouren and the others who were not in the know were stunned: Saying he was three years old when in fact he was only two and a half and already this clever enough to be rare, besides he was especially sensible, wasn’t he?
The originally well-behaved, adorable look softened everyone’s hearts, and with that talk of being a good brother and protecting his sister, the small bit of resentment in their hearts vanished instantly, making everyone bow down to his cute and lovable appearance.
