"That would be best. Hosting the full moon banquet for both our families together, we don't need to fear people laughing at us," Wang Xukun said.
"Laugh at what? This is very normal.
With the three-child policy now relaxed, it's common for younger ones to become uncles or maternal uncles.
Besides, it's a fate that Xiao Bao and his grandfather were born on the same day," Guo Xuyang replied.
"What you say is true, but still, it doesn't sound good when people hear about it.
Those people will say we are old and indecent."
"Uncle, please don't think like that. It's not right to think so.
Do you know that people's emotions are easily swayed by their environment?
If you have this idea, you will unconsciously be a step behind others.
Over time, it can lead to depression.
We are not stealing or robbing, and we are responding to national policies.
Moreover, it was a special circumstance at the time, and it is his good fortune that little brother came into your family."
"I was overthinking it, you are very right." Wang Xukun looked at Guo Xuyang and said.
"Uncle, please forgive me if I have said anything inappropriate today."
"Uncle's teachings are very correct. Shall we head back?
We've been tired all day, it's best to go back and rest early," Guo Xuyang said.
"Alright, let's go back and rest." Wang Xukun said, standing up.
"Uncle, let Xiao Hong take you to the west courtyard to rest, and get some sleep early." Back home, Guo Xuyang said to Wang Xukun.
"Yes, yes, you've also had a tiring day. Thank you for your warm hospitality."
"Uncle, we are family, don't be so formal. Xiao Hong, you take uncle and aunt to rest. I've asked Hu Jun to help take care of little brother these past few days," Guo Xuyang said to the group.
"I understand. Dad and Mom, shall we go to the west side?" Xiao Hong agreed and prepared to lead her parents back to the west villa.
"Big brother, sister-in-law, we'll head over then." Wang Xukun bid farewell to Guo Yixiang and his wife and walked towards the west villa.
"Dad and Mom, you two should go upstairs and rest too." Guo Xuyang said to his parents before preparing to leave.
"You, my son, didn't mention that your father-in-law would also be coming for the full moon banquet," Guo Yixiang said.
"It was a spur-of-the-moment decision. It wasn't finalized from the start."
"Is this okay? Don't let people gossip." Guo Yixiang said.
"Tomorrow, only a few friends will be coming. I haven't notified anyone else."
"Won't that seem like we're not giving enough importance?"
"Didn't you just say it yourself?
I was also worried that if too many people were present, there would be gossip and unpleasant remarks, so I've kept the guest list very small."
"Alright then. How many tables do you expect?"
"No more than four tables. Uncle and the others will be coming tomorrow, right? Director Cheng, Director Wu, and them will take one table, the people from the 4S shop will take one table, and Xiao Hong's parents, Li Xiaolu, and Gao Yuan will take another table. That should be about right."
"As long as you've planned it well, just make sure Xiao Hong doesn't feel that we're neglecting her. It's getting late, I'm going up to sleep." Guo Yixiang said and went upstairs.
Wu Shangqing did not go upstairs with them. After everyone else had left, she looked at Guo Xuyang and said, "Yangzi, Xiao Hong's parents are generally decent people. They didn't deliberately make things difficult for you. However, there are still several matters that you need to handle. Marriage is not just about two people, but about two families, and even multiple families. Today, when Xiao Hong's mother asked you, I was also nervous. If her father hadn't changed the subject and insisted on asking, I wouldn't have known how to explain. Yes, you might be doing some work for the country within your capabilities, and the country has implicitly accepted your unconventional marriage. But what will the families of these girls think? Can you satisfy all of them? I'm not blaming you. Today, Xiao Hong's father also said that we have cultivated an excellent you. But we know ourselves that your excellence comes from your own hard work, and we have little to do with it. Now that you have the ability to help the country share some of its burdens, then bear more. As I said, I will help look after the children at home. Your mother is still in good health and capable of helping you with the children. But you also need to restrain yourself, so that we are not pointed at behind our backs in our old age."
"I understand, Mom. I will be careful in the future. You should go upstairs and rest, it's getting late." Guo Xuyang knew his mother meant well and quickly said.
"I've said quite a lot today, don't be annoyed. It's also Xiao Hong's parents who have given me some food for thought."
"I know you care about me. Mom, I'll be careful in the future."
"You should get some sleep early too, you've been through a lot these past few days."
"Okay, Mom. I'll come up shortly." After Wu Shangqing went upstairs, Guo Xuyang went to Li Minxi's room. She and Xiao Niuniu had already fallen asleep. Wu Jia was still awake, looking at her phone.
"How long have you been asleep?"
"Not very long. Sister Xi just fell asleep when you all returned."
"Mm. Were you upset tonight?"
"No. Knowing that sister-in-law Xiao Hong's parents were coming today, I knew you'd be busy, so I didn't say anything."
"Thank you both for your hard work." Guo Xuyang looked at Yang Bin, who was sleeping in the small bed.
"This is what we should do. Xiao Bao is very well-behaved, he sleeps after eating, and basically doesn't need us to ask him about anything. Yangzi, shouldn't you give Xiao Bao a name? When we were completing the discharge procedures today, I wanted to get a birth registration for Xiao Bao. I saw you were busy, so I didn't. Once you've decided on a name, I'll go again."
"This needs to be decided by my parents. Xiao Hong's child hasn't been named yet. I'll ask my parents during the full moon banquet tomorrow."
"It's good that you're thinking about this. Sister Xi has also come up with a few names, but she hasn't finalized them yet."
"What names?" Guo Xuyang asked.
"Guo Shuting, Guo Zihan, Guo Zhiruo."
"These names are all very nice. I'll discuss them with Sister Xi after I get my parents' opinion. But I think Guo Zhiruo is also a good name."
"Sister Xi found these three names from a dictionary, and she searched for several days."
"Then why didn't she tell me?"
"When have you had time to chat with Sister Xi these past few days? You don't come back until dark every day, or sometimes you don't come back all night."
"I have indeed been very busy lately." Guo Xuyang felt a little embarrassed. He had been solely focused on placating people outside and had neglected Sister Xi's feelings.
"Sister Xi also said to be careful, not to be swayed by your small favors and kindness," Wu Jia paused and said.
"What did she say? I haven't given you any small favors or kindness."
"She said she was dragged into it by your one million yuan back then."
"With her considerable wealth, how could she care about a million yuan? She's deliberately tricking you."
"In any case, Sister Xi told us not to get too close to you, saying you're a heartthrob. If you get too attached, you'll easily lose yourself and accidentally fall into a fiery pit."
"Did Sister Xi really say that about me?" Guo Xuyang found it hard to believe.
"Of course, Sister Xi said it. I'm just an employee, how dare I instigate such gossip between you?" Wu Jia said.
"My image in her heart is completely ruined."
"Sister Xi also said that her sister was also taken away by you."
"Don't listen to her nonsense, it was mutual affection."
"Then what Sister Xi said is true?" Wu Jia's eyes widened.
"Did you meet Sister Xi first, or did you meet her sister first?"
"What are you thinking? At your age, how have you learned to gossip?"
"I'm just curious."
"Alright. I've had a long day, I'm not going to chat anymore. I'm going to sleep."
