After finishing his meal with a heavy heart, Huang Jianjun mustered up his courage and prepared to tell Chen Zhaodi and the others that he had something to tell them.
"Dad, Mom, we have something to tell you!"
Huang Jianjun nodded. Yes, that's the right way to start.
etc!
Huang Jianjun suddenly looked up and realized something was wrong. He hadn't even said anything yet!
Huang Eryuan and Chen Zhaodi looked at Huang Jianguo and were surprised to see such a clear smile on his face.
It's obvious from this that what he's about to say is definitely good news.
Chen Zhaodi asked expectantly, "What is it? Boss, please tell me quickly."
Unable to contain his excitement, Huang Jianguo grabbed Wang Yingxue's hand and happily announced, "I'm going to be a dad!"
"Yingxue is pregnant! She went to the hospital for a checkup this morning with Aunt Wang, and she's already two months along!"
Last night, Wang Yingxue told Huang Jianguo that she hadn't had her period for two months and suspected she might be pregnant.
Huang Jianguo immediately said that he would take the day off to accompany her to the hospital for a check-up.
However, Wang Yingxue wouldn't let Huang Jianguo take leave. She was worried about the wages that would be deducted if he took leave, so she asked Aunt Wang to go with her.
"Really?! That's great!"
Chen Zhaodi was so excited that she stood up.
Although Huang Eryuan didn't say anything, he was smiling very happily, his eyes narrowed.
Although Chen Zhaodi never urged Huang Jianguo and his wife, she still hoped that they could have a child soon.
After all, Huang Jianguo is already twenty-two, and will be twenty-three in a few days.
People his age already have children who are old enough to run errands, and some even have two or three children.
"That's great! We'll have a holiday in a few days, just in time for New Year's Day."
"Let's go back together and tell your grandparents, so they can be happy too!"
As Chen Zhaodi spoke, she got emotional and pushed Huang Jianguo away with her buttocks.
He took Wang Yingxue's hand and said, "Yingxue, you are now pregnant with twins."
"If you feel unwell or have any cravings, you must tell me. Don't keep it to yourself, okay?"
"Also, if you ever feel uncomfortable smelling the cooking fumes from the kitchen, be sure to say so."
"At worst, I can just cook when I get home from get off work. It's okay to eat a little later, you know?"
As for the idea of simply relieving Wang Yingxue of the need to buy groceries and cook, Chen Zhaodi had never considered it.
One reason is that Chen Zhaodi didn't think Wang Yingxue had become as fragile as a porcelain doll after she became pregnant.
Another issue is that Wang Yingxue is the only one in the family who is unemployed, and the extra five yuan that Chen Zhaodi gives her each month is her only source of income.
Chen Zhaodi was afraid that if she suddenly stopped Wang Yingxue from buying groceries and cooking, Wang Yingxue would be unhappy because of the loss of income.
Wang Yingxue nodded happily, "Okay, I understand, thank you, Mom."
Seeing the harmonious atmosphere between Chen Zhaodi and Wang Yingxue, Huang Jianjun couldn't help but have second thoughts.
He was afraid that if he told Chen Zhaodi now that he and Mu Shengnan were moving out, it would affect Chen Zhaodi's good mood.
But Huang Jianjun thought that since Chen Zhaodi was in a good mood, telling them now might not be such a big blow to them.
Right now, in Huang Jianjun's mind, there are two little figures fighting and arguing.
One of them told him, "Of course you can't tell them now. If you do, your parents' good mood will be ruined, which would be such a disappointment!"
The other retorted, "Of course we should tell them! If we don't tell them now while Mom and Dad are in a good mood, when will we?"
"It's best to say it now, as your parents are more likely to accept it. You should say it now!"
"You shouldn't have said that now!"
"You should say it now!"
"No!"
"Should!"
"Jianjun, what are you thinking about? Why do you look so pained?"
After giving her instructions, Chen Zhaodi returned the seat to Huang Jianguo.
However, when she got back, she saw that Huang Jianjun's expression was so ferocious that she couldn't help but pat him on the shoulder and ask him a question.
When Chen Zhaodi patted him like that, Huang Jianjun blurted out, "Dad, Mom, Shengnan's parents said they're going to give me a house today!"
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone in the family fell silent.
The entire courtyard was completely silent; everyone stood frozen in place.
The first to come to his senses was Huang Jianguo, who didn't think the Mu family would give Huang Jianjun a house for no reason.
"Why should we give you a house? Is it part of your younger brother and sister-in-law's dowry?"
When Chen Zhaodi and Huang Eryuan heard Huang Jianguo's question, they both looked at Huang Jianjun.
Clearly, the question Huang Jianguo asked was the same question they wanted to ask.
Huang Jianjun shifted uncomfortably, still unsure of what to say.
He just blurted it out without knowing why, when Chen Zhaodi called him.
Fortunately, he still had some sense and didn't directly say that they wanted to move out, otherwise the situation would have been difficult to control.
"Because, because our home is a bit far from the chemical factory, it's inconvenient for Shengnan to get to work."
"So when I accompanied Shengnan back today, I asked Shengnan's parents if there were any houses for rent near the chemical factory."
"If I have one, I'll rent a place nearby. I'll go home when I'm on vacation, and stay outside the rest of the time."
Upon hearing this, Mu Shengnan looked up at Huang Jianjun in surprise.
She immediately understood that Huang Jianjun was taking all the blame.
If Chen Zhaodi and the others knew that it was Mu's father and the others who wanted Huang Jianjun to move there, they might also have some opinions about them.
But now Huang Jianjun says that he brought it up himself, so whether it's true or not, Chen Zhaodi and the others are unlikely to have any issues with Mu's father and the others.
Meanwhile, Huang Jianjun continued, "In the end, Shengnan's parents said that they had a house nearby and that they didn't need to rent it out; they would just give it to me."
"They originally said that Shengnan could just get up earlier and ride her bike to work, but I felt it was too far, so I still wanted to move out."
"But I feel that it's not good to ask Sheng Nan's parents for their house, so I want to ask my parents what I should do now?"
After he finished speaking, Huang Jianjun carefully observed the reactions of the others.
Huang Eryuan and Chen Zhaodi did not show much change in expression, but when they saw the dissatisfaction on Huang Jianguo's face...
Huang Jianjun's heart skipped a beat. He knew that Huang Jianguo definitely knew he was lying.
It's unclear how much time passed before Chen Zhaodi's voice finally came from the courtyard.
"Logically speaking, you really shouldn't have accepted the house from Sheng Nan's parents."
"However, Shengnan's commute to work is indeed too far. I think we can compromise by having Shengnan's parents lend you their house to live in."
"This way you won't have to spend money on rent, and Shengnan's commute will be closer. What do you think?"
