Chapter 331 Welcoming a New Life
Zhou Chengzhi was really startled. Seeing Fang Hua covering her face and sobbing, he thought something terrible had happened.
But he didn't receive any news about Zhou Xiye in his office either.
Could something have happened to the Fang family?
He rushed over, just as he was thinking about how to comfort Fang Hua, when Fang Hua suddenly put down her hand, glared at Zhou Chengzhi, and said: "From now on, you are not allowed to smoke at home."
Zhou Chengzhi was taken aback for a moment, then quickly nodded: "Okay, I won't smoke anymore. What's wrong? Did something happen to my brother and the others?"
Fang Hua glared, then became a little agitated: "What could possibly happen to my brothers? It's because Zhizhi is pregnant, and we're going to be grandparents! You can't smoke, and you need to change your temper. You're not allowed to yell and shout at home, or you'll scare our little grandchildren."
When Zhou Chengzhi heard that Fang Guozheng and the others were alright, he breathed a sigh of relief. Regardless of Fang Hua's conditions, he nodded in agreement first: "Okay, okay, I'll do whatever you say."
Suddenly it dawned on her: "What did you just say? What do you mean? Zhizhi is pregnant?"
Fang Hua was about to burst into tears again: "Yes, Zhizhi is pregnant, and with twins at that."
He couldn't help but laugh as he spoke; he was just so happy.
Zhou Chengzhi was unusually serious because he was happy. He sat on the sofa for a while and said, "Should we call a doctor to come and take a look? By the way, should we call Chengyu and the others over to celebrate?"
"Also, should we make a baby stroller? I'll go find some wood tomorrow."
Fang Hua rolled her eyes: "Can't you be a little more mature? Zhizhi is pregnant! Why did you call so many people over? Besides, the baby hasn't even been born yet, and you're already thinking about making a stroller."
Zhou Chengzhi rubbed his hands, suddenly unsure of what to say. After a long while, he managed to say, "Zhizhi, just tell me what you want to eat, and I'll go buy it for you."
Fang Hua was somewhat satisfied: "That makes more sense. Come back earlier next time if you don't have to..."
Zhou Chengzhi thought about it seriously for a moment, then shook his head: "I'm afraid it won't work. We'll be busy soon too. We have a few meetings to attend, and then we'll have to go to the grassroots level. Things will be a bit more relaxed in July and August."
After saying that, he looked at Jiang Zhizhi and said, "Zhizhi, even though I can't be home, if you want to eat something, just tell my office secretary and have him buy it."
Fang Hua was also excited: "Yes, Zhizhi, just tell me what you want to eat in the future, and I'll go buy it for you."
After thinking for a moment, he said to Zhou Chengzhi, "Remember to clean up Xiaochuan's room upstairs so the child can live there in the future."
Suddenly I remembered there were two: "If we have a daughter and a son, do we need to prepare two rooms?"
Zhou Chengzhi was stunned for a moment: "What? There are two?"
After saying that, he suddenly stood up and said, "No, I need to go for a walk."
He wanted to tell outsiders that he was about to have two grandsons, or maybe two granddaughters.
Fang Hua knew exactly what he wanted to do. Looking at Zhou Chengzhi, whose mouth was practically stretched to his ears, he said, "Sit down! Zhizhi is not even three months pregnant yet. You can't go around telling everyone and make a fool of yourself."
Zhou Chengzhi obediently sat down again, his smile barely concealed.
After the initial excitement subsided and his emotions finally calmed down, Fang Hua began calculating Jiang Zhizhi's due date.
I calculated that it would be around October: "October is also quite nice, not too hot or too cold."
Jiang Zhizhi also thought October was a good month: "I'll be doing my internship in October, so it won't interfere with having a baby. I'll have finished all my courses by then, and I can continue my internship after my postpartum period."
Fang Hua is very supportive of Jiang Zhizhi's career: "It's okay. If you go to work, Xiao Chen and I will stay home to take care of the child. If it doesn't work, we can hire another nanny."
Zhou Chengzhi also thought it was a good idea: "Let's hire another nanny so that it won't interfere with your studies. If that doesn't work, let Chengyu come and help. Anyway, she's retired and has nothing to do."
Zhou Chengyu's two sons both served in the army in the south and married local girls. One of her daughters married a man from the northeast, so she had a very leisurely life after retirement.
Fang Hua thought it was a good idea: "Cheng Yu will definitely be happy. Zhi Zhi won't have to worry then. If the baby isn't feeling well, we can just feed her formula. Breastfeeding two babies is still very harmful to their health."
Jiang Zhizhi couldn't help but blush. In such a short time, they had already started talking about how to feed a child.
Even after they finished eating, Zhou Chengzhi and Fang Hua were still discussing, and eventually they got to the topic of what to name the child.
Zhou Chengzhi said very seriously, "We'll prepare several names for both boys and girls so we have more options."
Fang Hua suddenly remembered something: "Haven't you told Nishino yet?"
Jiang Zhizhi thought for a moment and said, "Mom, I don't plan to tell him. Even if I do, he won't be able to come back. Instead, he'll just worry about me over there. It'll be easy for him to get distracted. I'll see how things go later. If he doesn't have any leave to visit me when I give birth, I won't tell him either."
"What if one day he comes back and suddenly finds there are two children in the house? Or what if we wait until the children are older and bring them to see him? Wouldn't that be a big surprise for him?"
Fang Hua couldn't help but laugh: "That's a wonderful surprise! But you're right, even if you tell him, he can't help you. Instead, it will only make him worry."
Zhou Chengzhi agreed with Jiang Zhizhi: "The task over there is already heavy, so we really can't let him get distracted."
Because of the happy occasion at home, Zhou Chengzhi and Fang Hua talked a lot that night, and their relationship seemed to have become much more harmonious.
That night, as Jiang Zhizhi lay in bed, touching her tummy, she still felt a little amazed that there were two mischievous little ones inside.
Jiang Zhizhi's pregnancy symptoms were not very severe. She would vomit a little every morning and feel nauseous when she smelled anything too greasy, but otherwise she had no other reactions.
This made her often forget that she was pregnant.
By June, Jiang Zhizhi was five months pregnant, and because it was a twin pregnancy, her belly was quite large.
Even though she was wearing a loose-fitting dress, she was still easily recognizable.
Without needing to say anything, many people at the school can tell that she is being kind and will offer to help her move things or do chores.
Ge Qinghua was even more insistent. Whenever Jiang Zhizhi went to the restroom at school, she would follow her: "No, I have to follow you. You can't afford to have any mishaps now. Sometimes the restrooms are crowded, what if we get squeezed?"
Jiang Zhizhi smiled and said, "With you at school, I feel at ease."
Ge Qinghua looked at Jiang Zhizhi's watermelon-shaped belly and said, "I suspect you're having a son this time."
Jiang Zhizhi smiled, not telling Ge Qinghua that there were two little ones inside, and said with a smile, "A son or a daughter is fine."
Ge Qinghua took her arm and said, "Now that we're talking about implementing family planning, especially for families like yours, you can only have one child. It's better to have a son."
Jiang Zhizhi didn't care much about that: "Boys or girls are fine, we like them both."
Jiang Donghua stared at Jiang Zhizhi and Ge Qinghua as they left, his eyes filled with venom.
Jiang Zhizhi is pregnant!!!
