Cheng Su hadn't miscalculated; as soon as Mother Qi returned to their rural home, she complained to Father Qi like an agitated cat about the couple's decision to postpone having children.
Father Qi was also quite surprised. To say he wasn't disappointed would be a lie; after all, he was getting on in years, and when he saw others playing with their grandchildren, he naturally longed for one himself.
But he was, after all, more open-minded than Mother Qi. After thinking it over for a bit, he realized that although he was approaching sixty, he was still in good health, so waiting a few more years would be feasible.
Moreover, if his son and daughter-in-law had made such a decision, they must have their reasons.
The ideas of the younger generation nowadays were something that their older generation simply couldn't keep up with; they could only let them be.
