The couple stayed at the hospital for a while before leaving and returning home.
Lin Qiyue and Su Xiaole returned from buying groceries after 4 p.m., so they started simmering the soup.
While the stew was cooking, Zhu Hushan brought Han Yingyu back.
Back home, Zhu Hushan helped Han Yingyu into the bedroom to rest.
Upon hearing the news, Lin Qiyue rushed over to check on the situation.
"Sister Han, what's wrong?" Lin Qiyue wondered if there was something wrong with her, as she could need someone to help her walk.
Han Yingyu stroked her belly, revealing a joyful expression.
Zhu Hushan explained happily, "Your sister Han is pregnant. The doctor said she needs to stay in bed for a few days, so it's best to be careful."
"Really? Congratulations, Sister Han!" Lin Qiyue knew that Han Yingyu had always wanted a child.
She had been taking traditional Chinese medicine to prepare for pregnancy for several years.
I've recently come to terms with things and stopped taking the medication.
She's finally pregnant, and judging from her expression, she must be incredibly excited.
"Sister Han, Battalion Commander Zhu, congratulations!" Su Xiaole happily congratulated Han Yingyu on her pregnancy.
Han Yingyu said, "Thank you."
"I'm so glad you're alright, Sister Han. I've made some soup here, and you can bring it over when the food is ready. If the doctor says anything about what you can't eat, you can let me know." Lin Qiyue thought that Han Yingyu was pregnant, so there must be many foods she couldn't eat.
Han Yingyu added, "It's okay. The doctor said that as long as I don't eat spicy food, I'll be fine. I can't get out of bed for the next two days, so I'll just eat what's served in the cafeteria."
"Let's eat what we have today. I'll be home these next couple of days, so if you need anything, just let me know."
"Sister-in-law, thank you. I've taken the past two days off to stay home with Yingyu. I can cook, and I'll start cooking for her tomorrow." Zhu Hushan can do everything; he's the one who cooks for his wife every month when she has her period.
Lin Qiyue and Su Xiaole exchanged an envious glance.
"Yeah, I'm envious!"
"Mmm!" Lin Qiyue was quite envious of what Su Xiaole said.
Han Yingyu looked at the two mischievous girls and laughed, "Stop joking! Your husbands are both better than mine. I should be envious of you!"
"I won't accept that!"
Zhu Hushan nodded seriously.
Everyone burst into laughter.
Lin Qiyue asked Zhu Hushan to stay home with Han Yingyu while she and Su Xiaole went home to cook.
Dong Qingqing quickly finished her work, first went to see Han Yingyu, and then went to Lin Qiyue's house to help.
"What are you chatting about so happily?" Dong Qingqing came in and saw Su Xiaole and Lin Qiyue chatting happily, unable to suppress the smile on her face.
Seeing Dong Qingqing come in, she rolled up her sleeves and got to work.
"Ah~ I'm back, it's so good!" Dong Qingqing exclaimed. "It's so much more comfortable being in my own little nest. It's so much better without all those sisters-in-law in the family compound!"
"Did your sister-in-law suffer some injustice at home?" Su Xiaole asked curiously!
"Yes, those relatives were so mean they wanted to hit me, but thankfully it's all over now." Although it was a bit unpleasant, everything is in the past, which is a relief for them.
While cooking, Dong Qingqing told them about her trip home.
After listening, Lin Qiyue realized that this was indeed a family matter; it turned out that everyone had some troublesome things in their family.
While many problems can be solved, some can only be solved temporarily and cannot be solved permanently.
The relationship between a mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, or between sisters-in-law, will always be accompanied by conflicts as long as the ties are not completely severed.
Every time Dong Qingqing talked about these things, she would look at Lin Qiyue with envy.
But Lin Qiyue always just smiled and didn't say anything.
How desperate must the original owner have felt when she was bullied by Shen Qingmiao?
The two men who had left after lunch returned.
"Do you need any help?" Lan Yuchu was thinking of coming back to cook for his wife. When he returned with the groceries, he saw the three of them cooking in the kitchen, so he asked if he needed any help.
Before Lin Qiyue could say anything, Su Xiaole leaned against Xing Jianguo when she saw him return with Xing Jianguo.
With a smile on her face, she asked softly, "Where did you go? Why did it take you so long to come back?"
"We just went for a walk outside." Xing Jianguo couldn't tell the truth, so he put his arm around his wife's waist and smiled broadly.
If there hadn't been other people around, Xing Jianguo really wouldn't have been able to resist giving him a kiss.
Seeing the two people so intimate, Lin Qiyue suddenly got goosebumps.
Lin Qiyue looked at Lan Yuchu and said, "The food will be ready soon. You can wash the dishes later."
She doesn't allow herself to do all the work; the division of labor is clear.
Zhou Qishan returned from the army at this time. Although it was the weekend, he had taken several days of leave to visit his family beforehand, and he was working the day shift today.
The aroma of food filled the air as soon as you entered.
"Brother Zhou is off work. We'll eat here with Brother Lan tonight. We can eat soon after washing our hands." Su Xiaole and Xing Jianguo were whispering sweetly to each other.
Seeing that Zhou Qishan had just finished get off work, I greeted him.
Zhou Qishan saw his wife at Lin Qiyue's house.
He quickly came in with a smile.
When there were only two people living there, it felt quite spacious, but now that there are more people, it does look a bit cramped.
But it's alright.
Looking at the dishes being served one after another, Zhou Qishan joked, "Commander Lan's house is always this lavish. Looks like I'm in for a treat today."
He could already smell the aroma of the food, and he couldn't help but swallow his saliva.
With all the food prepared, Dong Qingqing came out of the kitchen carrying the food. "Look at you, so useless! You make it seem like I've been neglecting you all this time. Come and wash the dishes and eat!" She couldn't stand seeing her husband idle.
Upon hearing Dong Qingqing's voice, Xing Jianguo instinctively looked at Su Xiaole.
Only the couple understands this.
This is how old married couples talk.
However, they are still a newlywed couple.
Zhou Qishan dared not disobey his wife and followed Lan Yuchu into the kitchen to wash the dishes.
Su Xiaole carried the prepared food over to Han Yingyu to eat, and Zhu Hushan simply stayed home to eat with his wife.
After listening to Han Yingyu, they took out two portions of the fish and mushrooms they had caught during the day and gave them to the children to take away.
Consider it a return gift.
Then everyone sat down to eat together. There were six of us at the table, which wasn't too crowded.
They were chatting and laughing.
At this moment, Zhou Qishan looked at Dong Qingqing. He had seen Chen Yaqin's daughter, Xiao Tiao'er, when he came back earlier.
She was alone and didn't like to talk.
She saw other children with parents, but she had no parents.
I heard that it's a bit old, and many families are unwilling to adopt it now.
After dinner, everyone chatted for a while before heading home.
Back home, Zhou Qishan was still thinking about how to bring it up.
Having lived with him for many years, Dong Qingqing knew that his hesitant manner meant he had something on his mind.
"Tell me, what do you want to say to me?"
Zhou Qishan thought for a moment, but ultimately didn't say anything, subconsciously shaking his head: "No..."
