Chapter 1164: 293: Departing to Shanghai_2

“The past is the past, and now is now, Grandma, times have changed.”

Listening, Shangguan Grandma felt that something was off and frowned, “Xiaoxi, have you and Chen Jun been taking any contraceptive measures?” Otherwise, it’s been such a long time and there’s still no sign of a reaction from Shangguan Xi’s belly.

Shangguan Xi’s face turned red.

“Grandma, how can you ask such a question?”

“We’ve all been through this, what are you being shy about.” Shangguan Grandma continued, “You’re not really on contraception, are you?”

Shangguan Xi nodded.

“Foolish!” Shangguan Grandma continued, “Chen Jun’s grandmother is over eighty this year, and she dreams of holding a great-grandson. How can you two consider contraception! Besides, the best age for a woman to have children is between 22 and 30. After 30, it’s advanced maternal age, which is not good for the child nor the mother. People are yearning for children they cannot have, yet you two are even thinking about contraception!”

Shangguan Xi remained silent.

It was as if Shangguan Grandma had just thought of something. She looked up at Shangguan Xi, “Xiaoxi, are you afraid of having children?”

After all, Shangguan Xi’s biological mother, Xu Lian, had died in the delivery room.

Shangguan Xi said, “I used to be somewhat afraid, but then seeing my mom give birth to five kids without any problems, I got less scared…”

Speaking of which, Shangguan Xi really admired Ni Cuihua.

Five kids!

Just thinking about it made her scalp tingle.

Shangguan Grandma patted Shangguan Xi’s hand, “Don’t be afraid, with today’s technology, it’s not like before when childbirth was risky. If it really comes to it, there’s always Caesarean section. We can have a Caesarean.”

Caesarean sections started being widely performed in 1983; now it’s 1987, and various medical equipment is already very advanced.

Shangguan Xi nodded.

“Xiaoxi, if we can, let’s not use contraception. Your age is the best time to have children. You must not miss this window.”

Today, Ni Yang was in charge of cooking, with Mo Qishen acting as her sous chef.

Zhao Yu took Little Ni Yun and Goudan along with a bunch of other kids out to play.

Ever since the kidnapping incident, the Ni Family no longer felt comfortable letting Little Ni Yun go out alone. Most of the time, Little Ni Yun followed old Master Zheng and Jonathan planting flowers.

Ni Yang hadn’t personally cooked for quite a while, but she didn’t feel out of practice. In less than a minute, she turned a large potato into fine shreds that were even more beautiful than those cut with a peeler, dazzling the onlooker.

“Big sister is so awesome!” Adelle applauded from the side.

Ni Yang glanced back slightly, “Want to learn? I can teach you.”

“Yes!” Adelle was eager to try.

Ni Yang passed the kitchen knife to Adelle, “Hold it steady and don’t hurry. Slow down and slice downwards…”

Adelle was very smart and picked up the technique quite well.

Ni Yang nodded, “Exactly, just like that. Keep cutting, I’ll check on the oven to see how the fire is doing.”

“Mhm.” Adelle nodded, “Go ahead, big sister! Leave this to me!”

As Ni Yang turned and walked out the door, she heard Adelle’s cry of “Ouch” from the kitchen. Before Ni Yang could turn back, she saw a shadow run past her at high speed.

The quickness of it was astonishing!

“How is it? Are you okay?”

Shangguan Xu quickly hurried to Adelle.

Adelle raised her index finger, speaking with a wronged tone, “I accidentally cut my finger.”

Shangguan Xu frowned, “Who told you to be so careless? So silly! Come on, I’ll take you to get bandaged.”

“It hurts…”

“It will stop hurting soon, I have Yunnan Baiyao and hemostatic medicine.”

The two of them completely ignored Ni Yang and Mo Qishen.

Ni Yang tugged on Mo Qishen’s sleeve, “Brother Mo, where did Adelle just hurt herself?”

Mo Qishen said, “Seems like the index finger. Didn’t you see her holding it up?”

“The index finger? Are you sure?” Ni Yang raised her eyebrows slightly.

When Adelle passed her just now, she had seen quite clearly that there wasn’t even a trace of blood on Adelle’s index finger…

Mo Qishen continued, “I think the big brother has most likely fallen for her.”

“Really?” Ni Yang’s eyebrows lifted slightly again.

After speaking, Ni Yang asked, “What do you think about big brother and Adelle standing together? Do they match?”

Mo Qishen replied, “One dynamic, one calm, they complement each other well, quite a good match.”
