Chapter 89
Zhang Chaoyang's laughter echoed over the army for a long time, so that everyone knew that their Battalion Commander Zhang was going to be a father.
After returning to the dormitory, Zhang Chaoyang read Xu Di's letter again and smoothed out the wrinkles on the letter paper with his hands.
I was so excited just now that the letter paper was wrinkled.
It’s great that he has a child and is going to be a father. In the future, he will have a soft and cuddly little child who will call him daddy sweetly.
Zhang Chaoyang felt his eyes getting hot. He looked up and blinked a few times, then took some clean clothes and went to wash up.
After taking a shower, Zhang Chaoyang didn’t even have time to wash his clothes and hurried to make a phone call.
It's noon, Xu Di should go home.
"Hello, who is this?"
"Xu Di? I'm Zhang Chaoyang, and I just returned to the army.
Daughter-in-law, daughter-in-law, thank you for your hard work. I, I can’t go back for the time being. Please take care of yourself and the baby in your belly.
Is the baby in your belly making trouble? Is it giving you trouble?
I heard from a comrade-in-arms that when his wife was pregnant, she vomited everything she ate. The things she used to like eating, she couldn't eat a single bite after she became pregnant.
Wife, what about you? ”
Zhang Chaoyang didn’t know if it was because he knew Xu Di was pregnant that a deep bond developed between them.
The word "daughter-in-law" came out of his mouth very naturally.
"Chaoyang, I want to tell you that my belly is showing a little now. My old pants are too tight to wear. Grandma prepared the fabric and I made two loose pants myself.
Every morning when I brush my teeth, I feel nauseous and dry heaving, but I don't vomit.
Now I can’t eat fish, I can’t even smell the smell. In the past, I loved eating fish.
Grandma and Aunt Wu cook delicious food for me in different ways, and my weight has increased dramatically.
I'm afraid you won't recognize me when you come back. ”
Xu Di and Zhang Chaoyang talked about the changes in themselves after they became pregnant. They didn't just talk about the good things, nor did they keep complaining. They mentioned both the good and the bad.
Zhang Chaoyang held the microphone and listened to his wife talking about the trivial matters after her pregnancy on the other side. He felt a warm current in his heart.
"Wife, take care to rest. If you want anything to eat or have anything, just tell grandma. Don't hesitate.
I'm far away and can't be with you. I'm sorry, my wife, thank you for your hard work! ”
"Zhang Chaoyang, when I decided to marry you, I had already anticipated all of this, and I was mentally prepared.
You should also be careful in the army and don't get hurt. I don’t want my child to become a martyr’s child as soon as he is born. ”
What Xu Di said is very practical. It is still different for a child to have a father or not.
"I know you don't want to be a martyr's relative yet, I remember that.
Wife, I will transfer your salary and bonus to you tomorrow, please check it. ”
Zhang Chaoyang couldn't go back, so he could only remit the money back.
The two talked for a long time, and Xu Di said it was time to eat, so they stopped talking for now. She would write him a letter to tell him about the interesting things that happened during her pregnancy.
Zhang Chaoyang hung up the phone reluctantly. He had never spoken on the phone for so long that the microphone was hot.
"Xiao Di, is it Chaoyang's call?"
"Grandma, it's Chaoyang calling. He just returned to the army. After reading my letter, he called back."
"Is Chaoyang happy?"
"Yeah, I'm happy, but I feel a little embarrassed that I can't come back."
Xu Di talked to his grandmother about the phone call, washed his hands, and prepared to eat.
My appetite has improved a lot recently, I don’t feel nauseous as much anymore, and I eat more.
"He should be ashamed. His wife got pregnant and gave birth to a child for him, but he just sat back and enjoyed the fruits of his labor and then came back. Maybe the child is already born."
"Grandma, you miss Chaoyang too, right?"
"Bad girl, making fun of grandma."
The two of them were laughing and talking about irrelevant things, talking about whatever came to their minds.
Grandma told many stories about Chaoyang's childhood embarrassment. Xu Di found out that Comrade Zhang Chaoyang was a person with a dull and naughty personality.
After lunch, Xu Di took a short nap and then got up because it was almost time to go to work.
Now, all colleagues know that Xu Di is pregnant.
It's almost June and the weather is slowly getting warmer.
Xu Di's belly is very obvious, and because of its big belly, her belt always feels a little tight.
Xu Di found a piece of gray cloth and made herself two pairs of overalls, imitating the appearance of maternity pants decades later.
Unlike regular pants, overalls do not require elastic or a belt.
"Grandma, Aunt Wu, what do you think?"
As soon as Xu Di finished, he went back to the room to change into it. It was really comfortable to wear.
"Not bad, really good!
Wearing it this way, the belly won’t be squeezed and the baby will be comfortable.
Our Xiaodi is smart and capable! ”
"Yeah, you have good hands-on skills. The pants have straight lines and are tailored to fit me well."
"That's right, it looks comfortable no matter how you look at it!"
Grandma Qian and Aunt Wu kept praising Xu Di, and his face turned red.
"Grandma, Aunt Wu, it's not as good as you say."
"Of course not, it's good, we are telling the truth."
"Yes, it's all true."
"Ha ha……"
The three of them were chatting and laughing, and the atmosphere was quite harmonious.
It was almost time, and Xu Di prepared to go back to his room and sleep.
After locking the door, Xu Di entered the space.
Although her belly was big, her body was very flexible and she would go into the space to work for a while every day, planting rice.
She asked her eldest brother Liang to get some cotton seeds, saying that her grandparents in the countryside needed them.
Brother Liang didn’t think this was a big deal. He asked his colleagues in the purchasing department to help bring some back from Xinjiang.
Xu Di had never grown cotton, but she knew some methods, which she had learned from novels in her previous life. However, she didn't know whether they would work or not.
Xu Di thought it was no problem, this was the magic of space.
The seeds are planted in the soil and grow well without watering or fertilizing.
There is no distinction between day and night in this space; it is always bright.
Every time Xu Di entered the space, he would count the time and it would not exceed ten minutes.
After spending a few nights planting all the vacant land, Xu Di stopped caring about it.
This weekend, Xu Di and her friends went to visit Aunt Wang's house.
The Liang family was in high spirits, and I wonder what good news had happened.
"Xu Di, your pants are so beautiful, did you make them yourself?"
"Sister Fang, I made it myself. My belly got bigger and the elastic band was uncomfortable, so I made two pairs of these pants."
Yan Fangfang took a closer look and found that it was really nice, with a very loose belly.
Because of the suspenders, the pants won’t fall down.
"Xu Di, wait two months, and you can teach me how to do it."
"I can tell you now, no need to wait two months."
"Fangfang, is she pregnant?"
Xu Di didn't react for a moment, but Grandma Qian understood.
"Well, I went to the hospital for a checkup two days ago. It's almost two months."
Aunt Wang was very happy because their Liang family had finally broken the curse and was no longer a one-line family.
"Ah, my brain is stupid for three years after pregnancy!"
Xu Di finally figured out why Sister Fang said she would do it two months later, as her belly would be visible by then.
"I also want to thank Xu Di. I touched her belly and got pregnant myself."
Yan Fangfang firmly believed it and felt that it was Xu Di who brought her good luck.
Xu Di was dumbfounded. She felt a little guilty for taking such credit.
Anyway, Sister Fang was happy, and Aunt Wang and Brother Liang were also happy.
Xu Di and her grandmother were also happy for them and welcomed the arrival of the new life.
