Deng Qingling, a recent college graduate, struggled to find work due to the pandemic, so she returned to her hometown. Her grandmother, who passed away from illness, left her a silver bracelet.
...When Guo Jianping returned home, it was already the coldest time of the year.
After Guo Jianping returned to the county steel plant from the main factory and completed the handover work, he rushed home without stopping.
At this time, Deng Qingling was already more than four months pregnant and almost five months.
After knowing she was pregnant, Deng Qingling rarely went out. She went back and forth between home and school every day.
After the winter break from school, it was freezing cold and Deng Qingling was too lazy to go out, so she asked someone to buy some wool and stayed at home knitting sweaters every day.
Originally, she didn't know how to do it, but Ma Liying was very clever and could even sew.
Seeing that she was too lazy to go out, Ma Liying came over with some wool to chat with her. She also chatted with Deng Qingling while knitting a sweater.
Deng Qingling felt itchy and wanted to knit a sweater too. She learned how to do it after studying with Ma Liying for a while.
She thought that she was free anyway, so she asked someone to buy some wool. It didn't matter if she was not very good at it, she would practice knitting for the children first.
When the children heard that they were going to knit sweaters for them, they started clamoring to help wind the balls of yarn. Deng Qingling thought it would be nice to have help, at least it would be faster than doing it alone.
At first the children helped obediently, but later they started pulling the yarn like they were jumping rope, making the yarn a mess, either tangled or dirty.
Deng Qingling was so angry that she was fuming. Wool was so expensive!
It was ruined like this.
Even Liang Xueying, who loved her grandchildren, was furious. Before Deng Qingling could do anything, she gave the children a lesson in love.
After being taught a lesson, the children played by themselves. Deng Qingling would occasionally ask Guo Haochen to help wrap the ball of yarn. Without the two little ones making trouble, Guo Haochen did a good job.
It was indeed much faster with someone’s help, and soon the first sweater was knitted.
It wasn't a complicated pattern, just a simple little vest. Before Deng Qingling decided which child to give it to first, Guo Haochen asked for credit and reward.
Seeing that he didn't mind the ugliness, Deng Qingling let him wear it first.
Just as Guo Haochen put on his new sweater, he wanted to go out and show it off. Not long after he walked out of the hospital gate, he bumped into Guo Jianping who was returning home.
"Ouch, who is that?" Guo Haochen rubbed his forehead, which was hurt by the collision, then looked up and saw Guo Jianping, and said in surprise: "Dad, Dad, you are finally back!"
Guo Jianping: "Yeah! I'm back for the New Year break. Why were you so anxious to go somewhere?"
"Dad, does my sweater look good? My mom just knitted it for me." Guo Haochen said as he pulled at the sweater on his body.
"It looks very nice." Guo Jianping knew why Guo Haochen wanted to go out as soon as he heard it.
He originally thought the sweater was ugly, but when he heard that it was knitted by his wife, he immediately thought it was beautiful. He didn't know whether his wife had knitted it for him.
"Dad, are you tired? Let me help you carry some things." Guo Haochen just noticed that his father was carrying a lot of bags and asked quickly.
"It's heavy, I don't need your help." Guo Jianping said as he walked into the yard.
Guo Haochen didn't have time to show off and quickly followed his father home.
Guo Jianping walked to the door of the main room and saw Deng Qingling winding a ball of yarn in the room. He instantly felt a sense of peace and tranquility.
Deng Qingling was just thinking about knitting this one for Guo Ninghuan first, and then another one for Guo Haoxi, when she saw Guo Jianping walking in, looking exhausted and carrying a lot of bags on his body.
I haven't seen Guo Jianping for more than four months, and he seems to have gained a lot of weight and become darker.
Deng Qingling has always known that Guo Jianping is good-looking. In the past, he looked a bit ruffian when he smiled, but now he is more handsome and tough than before, and more manly.
"You're finally back. Come and warm yourself by the fire. It's very cold." Deng Qingling put down the wool and wanted to stand up to get him a stool.
"You sit down, I'll do it myself." Guo Jianping said as he walked over, put the things in the corner, then took a stool and sat next to Deng Qingling to warm himself by the fire.
Deng Qingling: "There's hot water in the kitchen. I'll make you a bowl of brown sugar ginger tea to warm you up."
Guo Jianping looked at Deng Qingling's bulging belly and said, "I can do it myself, you just sit down!"
After saying that, he stood up and went to the kitchen to make a big bowl of brown sugar ginger tea.
Guo Jianping poured a cup of ginger tea for Guo Haochen and said, "It's still hot, blow on it before you drink it."
"I know." Guo Haochen nodded.
Soon, the ginger soup was finished by the father and son.
"Dad, Mom, I'm going to grandma's house to play with my sister." After saying that, Guo Haochen ran out.
He was still thinking about going out to show off his new clothes.
Seeing that they were the only couple in the room, Guo Jianping sat down next to Deng Qingling and put his arm around her waist.
"Did the child bother you? How is your health?"
As Guo Jianping spoke, he reached out and touched Deng Qingling's belly.
Deng Qingling smiled and said, "No, the baby is very well behaved. I eat well and sleep well."
I don’t know if it’s because of the connection between father and son, but the baby in my belly actually moved at this moment.
Guo Jianping smiled and said, "It seems that the baby also knows that Dad is back, and even went out of his way to say hello to him!"
Deng Qingling felt jealous. Normally, the fetus rarely moved! It took a long time for him to move after talking to her. Why was he so active as soon as his father came back?
He's not even born yet! He's already siding with his dad. Doesn't that mean I'll have to sit in the back row?
Huanhuan is still considerate. Could this baby in her belly be another naughty boy?
Seeing that Deng Qingling didn't say anything, Guo Jianping didn't care. He looked up and looked at Deng Qingling carefully.
After becoming pregnant, Deng Qingling gained a lot of weight, not only her face and waist, but also her breasts became rounder.
Guo Jianping swallowed his saliva as he looked at her. "Wife, I'm not at home. Do you miss me? I miss you so much."
"I miss you too, especially at night." After saying that, Deng Qingling's cheeks turned red instantly.
I'm going to die! I actually said that in broad daylight. Luckily the children weren't at home, or I would have been humiliated.
"Me too." After saying that, Guo Jianping hugged Deng Qingling in his arms and kissed her.
"Hmm--" Deng Qingling couldn't help but moan.
After a moment, Guo Jianping let her go and his breathing became heavier.
Deng Qingling pushed him away, her face flushing. She said seriously, "You can't be so impatient, no matter what! We're not in our own room. It would be so embarrassing if the kids came back and saw us!"
If someone sees you, it's not just embarrassing, it's inappropriate.
Guo Jianping thought to himself, "You knew that, yet you still teased me?" He had a mouth to criticize others, but no mouth to criticize himself.
"Don't worry, I was paying attention to the situation just now!" Guo Jianping comforted.
"I'm too lazy to bother with you. It's getting late. You should hurry up and make dinner." Deng Qingling said as she crawled out of his arms.
