Chapter 120 His father-in-law and mother-in-law are very satisfied with him
As the two were talking, Tang Man pulled her parents to the front of the car. Xie Yan immediately put away his smile and greeted Tang Jianguo and his wife nervously, "Dad, Mom."
Li Wenjuan looked her son-in-law up and down. It was true that the more a mother-in-law looked at her son-in-law, the more she liked him. "My son Manman has a good eye."
Tang Jianguo was also observing Xie Yan. This child satisfied him more than he had imagined. He smiled and patted Xie Yan on the shoulder. "Welcome back, Xiaoyan. Let's go home first."
Xie Yan responded and hurriedly opened the car door, "Mom and Dad, you get in the car first."
After Tang Jianguo and his wife got in the car, Xie Yan helped Tang Man get in, closed the door, and walked around to the passenger seat and sat down.
In the back seat of the car, Tang Man was chatting with her parents, and soon she fell asleep in Tang Jianguo's arms.
Tang Jianguo carefully supported Tang Man, took off his cotton coat and covered Tang Man with it, and said in a low voice, "Xiao Ling, close the window on your side. Manman has fallen asleep, don't catch a cold."
Xie Yan hurriedly spoke up to stop him, "Don't worry about it, brother. There's a smell of gasoline in the car. She'll be upset again soon."
Li Wenjuan frowned. "Manman is going to get carsick? Didn't you not get carsick before?"
Xie Yan turned around and whispered, "Mom and Dad, Manman hasn't slept well these days. Can we talk about it when we get back?"
Tang Jianguo realized that something was wrong, but he was also worried about disturbing his daughter, so he didn't ask any more questions.
The car drove all the way back to the military compound, parked the car, and Tang Jianguo gently picked up his daughter and got out of the car carefully.
He carried the person back into the room, put her on the bed, covered her with a quilt, and looked at his daughter who was sleeping soundly for a while. Then Tang Jianguo tiptoed out of the room and closed the door gently.
Tang Jianguo sat down next to his wife and looked at Xie Yan, "What happened to Xiaoyan?"
Xie Yan lowered his head with a guilty look on his face. “Mom and Dad, Manman is pregnant. We only found out before we got on the train.”
"Pregnancy...pregnancy is a good thing!" Li Wenjuan was a little confused. Her daughter's pregnancy was a great joy, but why would her son-in-law have such an expression?
Li Wenjuan did not expect that Tang Man would have to go to college, but Tang Jianguo had already thought about it. However, he did not react too much. Although they only talked on the phone, he knew that his son-in-law was a reliable and responsible person.
"Have you figured out what to do?"
Xie Yan nodded and told her his plan, "I've calculated that Manman's due date is September next year. I think she can continue to study this semester. If Manman feels uncomfortable in the later stage, we can ask for leave from school. When the next semester starts, we can take another two months off and return to school after she has rested after the confinement."
"Before that, I will try my best to build a good relationship with Manman's classmates. When she is resting at home, I will go to borrow her classmates' notes every day, help her copy the notes, and teach her when I come back. I will definitely not let her fall behind in her studies."
At this point, Xie Yan paused, and then continued, "After the child is born, I will ask my mother to help take care of the child. If Manman is worried, or if my mother is unwilling to take care of the child, I can drop out of school and go home to take care of the child."
Tang Jianguo was silent for a long time before asking, "Will your grandfather and his family agree to your arrangement? Will they allow you to stay at home to take care of the child and let Manman continue to study?"
Although Tang Jianguo had met Mr. Xie and Xie Yan's parents, and was sure that this family was sensible, he also knew that the larger and more traditional the family was, it would be strange for them to agree to let their daughter-in-law go out to study and let their son stay at home to take care of the children.
"Dad, don't worry. My grandfather and his friends are all reasonable people. Even if they disagree, they can't control us. This is between Manman and me. As elders, they can give suggestions, but they can't dictate our affairs."
Xie Yan's attitude made Tang Jianguo look better. What he wanted was Xie Yan's attitude, an attitude where he would always stand by his wife and speak for her.
Tang Jianguo looked at his wife, "Wenjuan, you are..."
Li Wenjuan didn't wait for Tang Jianguo to continue, she already understood what he meant, and continued with a smile, "If your mother really doesn't have time, bring the child over and I'll take care of him for you. Our factory's performance is getting worse and worse, so you can take this opportunity to retire early."
"Thank you, Mom." Xie Yan knew that Zheng Chunying would definitely help him take care of the child, but he still had to think about the situations that he should think about and make them clear. Regardless of whether he would need his mother-in-law to take care of the child in the future, he had to thank his mother-in-law for her kindness.
Tang Jianguo glanced at the time and saw that it was almost twelve o'clock, so he stood up and said, "Okay! It's getting late, let's go back to our rooms and get some rest."
Xie Yan quickly spoke up and said, "Dad, I have something I want to discuss with you and Mom."
Tang Jianguo sat down again.
Xie Yan continued, "I want to let Manman live at home for a while."
Tang Jianguo and Li Wenjuan looked at each other but didn't say anything. They just looked at Xie Yan, waiting for him to continue.
Tang Ling picked up the water and took a sip. "Does your family have any problem with Manman?"
"No, my grandfather and the others like Manman very much. I feel that I can't let Manman follow me without knowing the reason. I have to marry her off in a dignified manner. This way, no one will gossip about Manman behind her back, and my parents won't be laughed at for marrying off their daughter without knowing the reason."
Tang Jianguo hadn't thought about these things. As long as his daughter liked them, it was fine. His family didn't care much about other things. However, he was very satisfied that his son-in-law could think of these things. "Okay, then let's do as you say."
"There is one more thing I want to tell my parents and my eldest brother. Before I marry Manman, I have to do one more thing. I am worried that someone will come up to you and say nonsense. I need to make it clear to you first..."
Xie Yan chatted with Tang Jianguo and his wife, and Tang Ling for more than an hour before they finished. After knowing Xie Yan's background and experiences, not only Tang Jianguo and his wife, but even Tang Ling looked at Xie Yan with eyes full of pity.
Li Wenjuan even walked over and hugged Xie Yan, "It's okay, it's all in the past. Even without her, you still have two mothers who will treat you well."
"Thank you, Mom." Xie Yan actually wanted to say that he no longer cared about it, but it was also good to be loved by his mother-in-law as a son.
"Okay, it's late, go back to your room and rest. Xiaoyan, you should get up early tomorrow morning and ask your brother to take you home. You should go back first now that you are back, so that the elders at home won't miss you."
"I will sleep with my eldest brother at night." Xie Yan stood up. Of course, he preferred to sleep with his wife, but this was the Tang family. No daughter would bring her son-in-law home and live together. This would be a taboo in any family, especially if there were brothers.
Tang Jianguo waved his hand and said, "No need. We don't have those broken rules in our family. Whenever you and Manman come back, you can stay in her room. We will keep that room for you."
Tang Ling also patted Xie Yan on the shoulder.
"Go to sleep now. Even if she gets married, this is still her home. Her room will always be reserved for her. If anyone dares to say anything bad about her in the future, I will be the first one to not forgive him."
Even if it is your future wife, it is not allowed.
