Chapter 87 He Xu: Did it delay your seeing other men?

Chen Tang then turned around, showing an exaggerated look of shock, then hugged the man excitedly, smiling with a guilty pleasure: "Oh, husband, you're back?"

He Xu's dark eyes were full of coldness, but his thin lips curled up: "Why, did it delay my seeing other men?"

Chen Tang blinked and immediately explained: "How could I possibly look at other men? I'm helping Li Hong find a partner, and by the way, I'm writing the task assigned to me by Commander Tan."

"Really? But I saw you were watching it very intently just now." There was sarcasm in He Xu's eyes.

Chen Tang knew that he was really angry. She was so flustered that she scratched her fingers and finally turned the tables on him: "He Xu, you don't believe me!"

After saying this, her eyes turned red and tears filled her eyes, as if she was extremely disappointed with him, and she turned around and was about to leave.

He Xu grabbed her neck with his backhand, pulled her by the collar and dragged her into his arms: "You've grown up, and you're going to blame me for your mistakes?"

Chen Tang was pinched and shuddered. His crocodile tears disappeared. His clever eyes kept rolling around. Finally, he covered his stomach and groaned softly: "Ouch, my stomach hurts~"

He Xu frowned, suspecting that she was pretending.

But seeing that her face seemed a little pale, he didn't care about being angry anymore. He picked her up and was about to go to the hospital, but she stopped him when he turned around.

Chen Tang glanced at him and said, "Just go home. I was just a little too excited when I saw you just now."

He Xu glanced at her calmly: "Scared?"

Chen Tang felt guilty: "...You can also feel that it was a surprise, a pleasant surprise."

He Xu gritted his teeth and was so angry that he wanted to beat her up.

When he got home, Chen Tang was pressed on the bed and given a good beating.

My mouth is red and swollen.

After He Xu came back, Chen Tang quickly completed the task assigned by Commander Tan.

The two went to the post office to mail the letter and went to the hospital for a prenatal check-up together.

Spring came in March and the baby was four months old.

Chen Tang sat on a chair, touching the baby in her belly with a gentle expression.

He Xu took the list, took out a large white rabbit candy from his bag and handed it to her: "You didn't eat much this morning, you should be hungry now, eat a little to fill your stomach."

Shen Tang happily took it.

The woman who was waiting for the checkup nearby saw this and said with some envy: "Is your baby a boy?"

Chen Tang shook his head and asked, "I don't know. Can I ask the doctor about this?"

If she could ask, she actually wanted to ask, nothing else, just out of curiosity.

The woman whispered, "Normally they won't tell you, but if you beg them a few more times, they might tell you."

At this time, there were no explicit regulations prohibiting the checking of a child's gender.

But doctors are afraid of taking responsibility and basically won’t tell you.

Some women prefer boys to girls and will abort the baby once they know the gender of the fetus.

If something goes wrong, the doctor will also be held responsible.

Some people will pay to ask the doctor, and the doctor will most likely not refuse.

Chen Tang didn't want to spend this money in vain. Her child, whether it was a boy or a girl, was her treasure. Knowing it in advance would at most mean preparing clothes for boys or girls in advance. There was no difference.

Most of the patients who come to the hospital for treatment are from the military, but there are also many from outside.

The woman who just spoke to Shen Tang was from the nearby countryside.

She quietly handed the money to the doctor. After learning that the baby in her belly was a boy, her back straightened up and the smile on her face never faded.

After leaving the hospital, He Xu went to get the car.

Chen Tang was bored, so she glanced around casually and saw Shi Bing standing not far away from her, seemingly waiting for someone.

Not long after, Wu's mother joined her, carrying some things.

In the car, He Xu asked her: "I am free today. I plan to visit a comrade. It is not far away, just in a village below Haishi. Do you want to come with me or go back to the army first?"

Chen Tang: "Let's go with you, it's still early anyway."

She knew who He Xu was going to see. Last year, He Xu and Hao Yun went on a very dangerous mission. There was no casualties, but one soldier was seriously injured. It was said that half of his arm was missing. Because he was from Hai City, the military district arranged a better position for him when he retired.

When he arrived at the supply and marketing cooperative, He Xu came out carrying a bag of fruit, two packs of White Rabbit milk candies and biscuits, and two cans of malted milk.

The two drove all the way to the countryside. It hadn't rained in the past two days, so the road was relatively easy to drive on. However, the loess road in the countryside was bumpy. Even though He Xu drove very slowly and steadily, Chen Tang still felt his buttocks bouncing up and down, and his voice was rising and falling.

It was because she was in good health, otherwise she wouldn't have dared to follow He Xu to the countryside.

He Xu must have called them before. When they arrived at the entrance of the village, Chen Tang saw a man with half of his arm broken standing under a big tree waiting for them.

Seeing the military vehicle, a smile appeared on Mai Hei's face.

"Captain, long time no see!"

Jiang Tao took out a pack of Daqianmen cigarettes from his pocket, took out a cigarette and handed it to He Xu.

He Xu waved his hand to refuse: "Give up, this is your sister-in-law, she is pregnant."

When Jiang Tao saw Chen Tang, his eyes widened. Country people all had dark yellow skin, and his wife was considered beautiful, especially because he married an educated youth from the city.

But when he saw Chen Tang, she was wearing a light yellow cotton jacket with a loose white long skirt, which made her skin look as white as jade. She had long black hair tied into two fluffy braids, and a pair of light brown autumn eyes that were extremely cold and beautiful. But when she smiled, she looked obedient and cute. Her whole temperament was pure and moving, and she made a man who had never seen the world blush.

He grinned and greeted: "Hello sister-in-law, my name is Jiang Tao."

Chen Tang nodded, his voice as clear as a lark: "Hello."

Jiang Tao's ears perked up when he heard this, and he secretly gave He Xu a thumbs up: He is worthy of being the battalion commander, he can even chase such a beautiful girl!

Dajiang Village is close to Hai City, and the economic situation of the village is much better than that of ordinary villages. Several families have joined the army, and many older generations in the village are veterans. Therefore, it was not surprising for He Xu to drive to see Jiang Tao.

Chen Tang was led by He Xu as he listened to Jiang Tao introducing the village and home to them.

Jiang Tao is the second child in the family, 22 years old this year. He used to be a platoon leader. When he was 20 years old, he obeyed his family and got married. Now he has a son who is over one year old.

His wife was an educated youth, and after marrying him she became a primary school teacher in the village.

After he returned home injured, his wife has been taking care of him and is now two months pregnant.

As Shen Tang listened, she suddenly realized that someone was looking at her. She glanced sideways and realized that it was a child.

The boy looked to be only four or five years old. He was wearing very little, only a thin long-sleeved shirt. He had no flesh on his face, was thin, had big eyes, and dry yellow hair. He looked very pitiful.
