In the summer of 1972, Su Ruo was packing her luggage, in a few days she was going to Qing University to study, where there was also a fiancé waiting for her.
But when she woke up, she becam...
Su Ruo's dry heaving sound attracted everyone's attention to her.
Finally, Aunt Zhang let He Zongxi go temporarily.
Han Zecheng frowned, turned to look at her, and asked her in a low voice: "What's wrong, are you feeling unwell?"
Su Ruo pressed the armrest of the wooden chair with one hand and covered her mouth with the other. She didn't bother to answer him and couldn't help vomiting again.
Han Zecheng didn't care that they were at the dinner table and had to keep their distance and maintain their image.
He held her waist with one hand and touched her forehead with the other.
Su Ruo shook her head.
My chest felt really uncomfortable, and we were at the dinner table right now. If I vomited, it would affect everyone. I supported his arm and stood up, saying, "I'm a little bit unaccustomed to the taste of this mutton. I'll leave for a while."
Then she pushed his hand away and went to the bathroom.
Han Zecheng took a look at the pot of mutton and followed without thinking any more.
Guoguo also pushed away his bowl, jumped up, and said, "I'll go take a look too."
Aunt Zhang watched Su Ruchong go to the bathroom. She looked at the stewed mutton and then looked at Aunt He. The two of them looked at each other and knew that the other must have the same idea as she did.
After all, both of them were women who had lived in the inner house for a long time, and they were very familiar with these things.
Aunt He frowned and said, "Aunt Zhang, didn't you say that it's difficult for Aruo to get pregnant with her constitution?"
Aunt Zhang looked innocent and said, "Alas, it's hard to be sure about this kind of thing. A loving couple can always have unexpected events."
As he spoke, he took the stewed mutton back to the kitchen and said to He Zongxi, "It smells strong, so don't eat it for now. If you're hungry, eat it at night. Otherwise, you'll smell like mutton, and Miss Ruoruo will definitely not be able to stand it."
Although He Zongxi loves mutton very much, compared to being disliked by his brother's fairy wife for smelling like mutton... he decisively gave up his desire for food.
In the bathroom, Su Ruo vomited for a long time but nothing came out.
Han Zecheng had already brought her a large glass of water.
Su Ruo took a breath and drank a sip of water and finally felt much better.
But there was still something wrong.
When Su Ruo returned to the dining table, there was a glass of water in front of her with two small tangerines in it. She picked it up and smelled it. A fresh fragrance entered her nose, and the nausea she had originally felt immediately improved.
Su Ruo looked at Aunt Zhang curiously and asked, "Aunt Zhang, where did the tangerines come from?"
Aunt Zhang said, "Alas, there is nothing new now.
I pickled it when I bought it and added a little sugar. You can try it. ”
Su Ruo tried it and found it tasted fresh, sour and sweet. After drinking two sips, she felt much more comfortable.
Aunt Zhang asked, "How is it?"
Su Ruo nodded and said, "It tastes good. I feel much better now."
Aunt Zhang had an expression that said, "As expected."
She asked Su Ruo a few more questions, then saw Han Zecheng looking at her, and smiled, "Hey, seeing how Miss Ruoruo is, she is probably pregnant. After dinner, Deputy Head Han, take her to the hospital for a checkup."
With...
Aunt He and He Zongxi at the table already knew about it and didn't react much.
But these two words shocked the Han family of three.
Su Ruo was a little confused.
Got it?
What's happened?
It took her a while to realize... maybe she was pregnant.
After she realized what was happening, she suddenly became nervous...she grabbed Han Zecheng beside her with one hand, turned to look at him, a little flustered.
Although she had given birth to a child, she had no memory of it and no experience at all.
Han Zecheng was even more shocked.
If it weren't for his good self-control, his face would probably have turned pale by now.
Su Ruo turned to look at him like this, and he felt even more nervous when he saw her pitiful face, but he still held her hand to comfort her and asked Aunt Zhang, "Aunt Zhang, is this possible? Didn't you say before that it's not easy for her to get pregnant?"
Aunt Zhang cried out “Ouch!” Why did everyone have such adverse reactions?
Miss Ruoruo has a weak and cold constitution. This is a saline and alkaline soil. Even if you water it every day, there is no guarantee that it will not sprout, right?
Oh, bah, bah, bah, what salty and alkaline land? What are you talking about? Miss Ruoruo is fine.
She said: "It's not easy to get pregnant, but it's not impossible."
She saw that one of them looked at a loss, while the other one was nervous, and it was like she was seeing something strange.
After all, although Su Ruo is delicate and looks like a little girl, she has given birth to a child after all. Why does she look like she has never given birth and is pregnant for the first time?
There is also Deputy Captain Han, who usually looks calm and composed even when faced with a huge enemy, but this time his face was tense and he looked as if he was facing a formidable enemy.
Shouldn't it be normal to have a happy expression on your face?
Aunt He coughed lightly and called out "Auntie Zhang" with a hint of blame.
Aunt Zhang was not slow to react. She immediately remembered that she had once said that Su Ruo was too weak to get pregnant and that it would be difficult for her to get pregnant. It would also be difficult for her to get pregnant... Maybe these two people were worried because of what she said?
think
At this she laughed and said, "What are you two doing? Hey, this is a great thing."
"Guoguo is already over four years old. If we count according to our lunar age, she is already five years old. So, you should have had another child a long time ago. As for Ruoruo's health, you don't have to worry. I am here with Aunt Zhang. She has been taking care of herself during this period and has gotten much better... Maybe it's because she has been well nourished. Besides, when a woman is pregnant and giving birth, it is also the best time to improve her physical condition..."
Su Ruo actually didn't think about whether she was in good health to go up.
However, Han Zecheng grasped the key point from what Zhang Ma said.
He asked, "Is Ruoruo feeling better now?"
Aunt Zhang said, "Well, why don't you ask Ruoruo herself?"
Han Zecheng turned to look at Su Ruo.
Su Ruxian was still focused on the unexpected fact of "being pregnant"... This feeling was really weird. To be honest, although Guoguo was her son and she recognized him as her son, she didn't really have the consciousness that he was "born" by her. She always felt that she was still young.
So he didn't pay attention to Han Zecheng's strangeness just now, but when he turned to look at her, she finally noticed his nervousness.
Seeing that he was staring into her eyes and the muscles in his hands were tense, she nodded subconsciously.
But after nodding, she thought about it carefully and said, "Indeed, I have been more energetic recently. I don't feel tired after walking for a while like before. Even when I read, I seem to be in a much better state."
Aunt Zhang shrugged and said, "I'll just say so."
After hearing this, Han Zecheng finally relaxed a lot.
But there was no sign of joy.
He said, "Let's go to the hospital after dinner."
"What is it?"
After the adults finished their conversation, Guoguo, who had been watching everyone talking, finally interrupted.
Everyone looked at him.
Su Ruo and Han Zecheng said nothing.
Aunt Zhang smiled and said, "Sister, your mother may be pregnant with a younger sister or brother for you."
Guoguo frowned.
It was a bit of a strange expression, but it was hard to tell whether he was happy or unhappy.
Su Ruo coughed lightly and said a little embarrassedly: "Aunt Zhang, this is not certain yet."
Aunt Zhang smiled and said, "It doesn't matter. Even if it's not this time, it will happen sooner or later."
After that, he reminded Guoguo, "It's good that you just know about this, don't tell anyone else. Your brother and sister just came, they are very shy, and don't like people asking about it. If you tell others, they might run away, okay? Also, don't bump into your grandma, and keep your cat away."
Guoguo said "Oh", looked at his mother carefully, and then nodded solemnly.
Su Ruo:......
She didn't care about feeling uncomfortable at this moment. Everyone was so serious, what if she wasn't pregnant?
Later, when they were eating, Su Ruo always felt that the atmosphere was weird.
Even if no one was talking to her, she always felt that everyone seemed to be paying attention to her, especially Han Zecheng... She became even more aware of his unusual nervousness.
She didn't have much of an appetite. She ate a few mouthfuls of rice and drank some soup and then stopped eating.
Aunt Zhang brought her a bowl of bird's nest porridge.
I originally cooked it for her to eat in the evening, but since she didn’t eat much, I brought it to her first.
Su Ruo scooped two mouthfuls, and in order to divert everyone's attention, she thought for a moment, then turned to He Zongxi and said, "When I heard you talk about growing cotton earlier, it reminded me of a friend of mine who is at the Agricultural University. Last weekend, she called me and complained that she had finally been admitted to the university, but now she has to go to the fields with the professor in the department every day to farm... I seem to have heard her say that her professor also studies cotton planting."
Province S is a major cotton-growing province. In addition, there are many dry and saline lands in the west. Therefore, there are still many professors in the school who study cotton planting and want to increase cotton production.
After saying that, she thought for a moment and said, "Speaking of this, it seems that her father works in the Agricultural Bureau."
She didn't know at first.
Yu Ling originally applied to the Normal University, but his score was not enough, so his father arranged for him to be transferred to the Agricultural University, which is also his father's alma mater.
He Zongxi smiled and said, "Of course we should meet them. I also want to meet those professors. We can also provide them with some data. If they have different seeds or want to try different planting methods, we can also cooperate."
Su Ruo felt that He Zongxi was truly a talented person.
I've thought so much about just one sentence.
She smiled and said, "Okay, then I'll call her home later to see if I can find her. If she's not at home, we'll go to her school together to look for her when we get back."
Then he added, "Her professors must like you."
Because He Zongxi had not been given much time to return to the farm, he had to finish his work quickly as he had to go back to plant the cotton seedlings.
******
After dinner, Han Zecheng took Su Ruo to the hospital.
Guoguo also wanted to go, but Han Zecheng thought it was a very annoying thing and didn't want to go.
Su Ruo felt sorry for Guo Guo's pitiful look.
"You and your Uncle He should go to the Agricultural University to visit Aunt Ling. It's more fun there than our school. There are many different fruits planted on the hill behind the campus."
She had called earlier and coincidentally Yu Ling was at home.
Yu Ling has always been enthusiastic. After hearing about He Zongxi's situation, she said that she would return to school early in the afternoon and then made an appointment with He Zongxi for a meeting place.
The pitiful expression on Guoguo's face disappeared immediately, and he said to his mother seriously: "Well, since Uncle He has something important to see Aunt Ling, and he doesn't know her, then I have to make a sacrifice and accompany him."
This kid.
Su Ruo reached out and tapped his head without saying anything, but her originally nervous mood improved a lot.
She thought it would be nice to have another child.
******
Su Ruo thought it was good, but Han Zecheng didn't.
He took her to the Fourth Hospital, avoiding the Second Hospital where Su Jia was still staying.
Feel unlucky.
The test results came out very quickly, and Han Zecheng looked very gloomy when he held the test results.
Su Ruo has slowly accepted the reality that she is pregnant.
She has always been optimistic. Although she is still a little nervous, she has gradually become happy and looking forward to it.
However, she soon discovered that something was wrong with Han Zecheng.
After getting in the car, she looked at him cautiously and said, "Brother Han, are you unhappy?"
Of course, Han Zecheng couldn't tell her what Su Jia said.
He said, "I'm not unhappy. I'm just worried that this child is coming at the wrong time. You've just started college, and I'm going to Yunnan next month, and I might be gone for several months."
As he said this, his hands pressed even tighter on the steering wheel.
