Doctor:"……"

Xu Haizhou held Qiao Lu's shoulders, his brows slightly serious, and gently warned her: "Daughter-in-law, please don't move around, or the doctor may not find the right position."

"Mom, don't move. Listen to the doctor uncle." Even Qiao An "educated" her.

Qiao Lu felt helpless and a little embarrassed. She waited quietly and didn't dare to do anything else.

The doctor put on the stethoscope and continued to listen. His unhurried movements made people very anxious.

Just when the couple was getting anxious and worried, the doctor finally spoke.

He slowly removed the stethoscope and said, "It's no big deal. You are indeed pregnant."

Then he tore off a piece of paper, wrote on it with a pen, and handed it to Xu Haizhou: "Pregnant women should not eat these things. Fathers should take good care of them. Don't save on nutritious food and give more to pregnant women."

The doctor gave these instructions to Xu Haizhou, who looked dumbfounded.

Thirty years later, doctors often told pregnant women and fathers not to eat too much during pregnancy to prevent their children from being overweight. Now, doctors tell pregnant women to eat more nutritious foods, which shows the gap between the times and "progress".

After a long time, Xu Haizhou's soul seemed to be withdrawn from the world of suffering.

She was overjoyed and said, "Yes, yes, I will be careful! Thank you, doctor!"

Although the couple had been preparing for pregnancy, it was only when the day finally came that they realized what a huge surprise and excitement it was!

Qiao Lu rubbed her belly in disbelief. This was her first real pregnancy. It was hard to believe that such a small belly could hold a treasure... the child that everyone was looking forward to...

Then, Qiao Lu was carried out of the clinic by her husband and son, each holding one of her hands.

She interlaced her fingers with his, and a warm current flowed through her palms, pulling Qiao Lu's complicated thoughts back.

Turning her head to glance at Xu Haizhou, she saw that the man was sweating profusely and was so nervous that he walked like a robot. His stiff limbs were really funny.

At this moment, Xu Haizhou's attention was all on his wife's belly and the road under his feet: "Wife, walk slowly and be careful of the stairs."

"Mom, be careful with the steps."

Parents' words and deeds always affect their children's character. Xu Haizhou loves his wife and has a gentle, considerate and meticulous personality. He can see the big picture from the small details. Growing up in such a caring environment, An An will definitely be a warm-hearted man who respects women in the future!

On the way home, Xu Haizhou did not ride a bicycle. Instead, he held her hand and walked home together.

The sun sets, and the last rays of light fall on Qiao An's little face, a joyful orange-red color.

"Mom, your belly is flat." Qiao An touched her belly carefully and asked, "Doctor, you can tell that you are pregnant just by listening. Can you tell if the baby is a boy or a girl?"

"Maybe it's not that advanced." Qiao Lu shook her head and smiled.

"Okay." The boy shrugged, held his mother's hand, and followed their steps closely. "I hope it's a sister. I like sisters."

"Then An An will make a wish every day, wishing her mother to give birth to a younger sister." Xu Haizhou said with a smile.

"How do you make a wish? Put your two hands together and make a wish to the Buddha?"

Qiao Lu stroked his hair and said, "Yes, pray to Grandpa Buddha. You visit him every year anyway, so just keep bothering him."

Then Qiao An made a wish as he walked, closed his eyes and put his hands together: "Grandpa Buddha, I have another problem... I have another wish, I must let my mother give birth to a sister, An An likes sisters..."

Finally, he added: "Both mom and dad like my sister."

Puff——

Xu Haizhou didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Son, Dad thinks you should make this wish to Guanyin, the Goddess of Childbirth."

Qiao An: "Wow - it's a waste."

…

The sudden arrival of the baby brings renewed vitality to the family that has just suffered a blow.

After she became pregnant, Xu Haizhou took on all the housework at home. Qiao Lu didn't have to lift a finger. She just had to stay at home and take care of the baby, which was the greatest help she could give him.

Before going to bed at night, Xu Haizhou washed his hands carefully, then reverently lifted up Qiao Lu's shirt and pressed his cheek against her belly. At that moment, it seemed as if his whole body was sublimated.

The hot breath exhaled from his nose seemed to be able to penetrate this layer of belly and reach the unborn fetus.

"Jolu...our child."

For fear of disturbing the baby in her belly, he reached out his hand very gently to touch her. When his fingertips touched her fair belly, the feeling was so wonderful, so wonderful.

It’s not like he had not touched his wife’s belly before, but now, as if with his palms, he could feel the life thriving inside.

Her brows were tightly knitted together, as if she was conducting a scientific study on her stomach, and a little sweat oozed from her fingertips.

Qiao Lu really couldn't help it. She felt as if she saw Xu Haizhou again when he was newly married, that fool.

He handed the hand over and said, "Come on, wipe it off quickly, you've got me wet."

Xu Haizhou took the handkerchief and rubbed it on his palm twice, then couldn't wait to put his lips on her white belly again and again, kissing her again and again, full of pity.

The young man gently tugged at Xu Haizhou's clothes and couldn't wait: "Dad, please move aside. I want to kiss you too."

Xu Haizhou stood up without finishing his sentence and made room for his son.

Qiao An also lay down and kissed Qiao Lu's belly like his father did.

Two kisses, one big and one small, were gently imprinted, making her feel itchy and numb. It was a good feeling, and it mainly satisfied Qiao Lu psychologically.

After Qiao An finished kissing him, Xu Haizhou quickly took his son away and replaced his palm with his own. He didn't touch him enough, not at all.

He stroked her belly softly and gently, and the heat flowed into her body like a fireball. It felt quite comfortable even in such a cold day.

"An An, come here and look at your dad's silly look."

Qiao An excitedly burrowed into Qiao Lu's body, hugged her, and laughed as clear as a bell: "Mom, Dad is not stupid, Dad is happy."

Qiao Lu laughed and tickled his little ears: "You know it again."

"Yeah, I know, because I'm happy too, but be generous, let daddy touch you enough, and then I'll touch you." Don't compete with daddy for the belly yet, wait until he goes to work, he'll have plenty of time to touch you.

The abacus was jingling.

Puff——

How could I have given birth to such a lively son?

He kept touching her, as if it wasn't enough, with extremely gentle movements, so gentle that when he hugged her, he didn't even dare to get close to her belly. He just held her shoulders weakly, afraid of pressing the baby in her belly.

"How about writing a letter and asking my mother to come over and take care of you? Anyway, she is retired now and has nothing to do at home."

Besides, the old lady has a good impression of Qiaolu and has long hoped that the couple can have a child that belongs entirely to them. She should be happy to take care of Qiaolu, right?

Although Qiao Lu had a good impression of Xu Haizhou's mother, she didn't want her to take care of her.

"It's better to find my mother than your mother. Let her take care of me and take her to the city to enjoy life. It's close and we don't even need a train. Your mother is old. Can she sit for three days and three nights?"

Qiao Lu had long wanted to bring her parents to live in the city for a while, but her sister-in-law was a real weirdo.

What did I say: Your son is not dead yet, is it appropriate for you to live with your daughter? If you don't know, you might think your brother and I abused your mother.

Xu Haizhou thought for a moment and said, "Okay, do whatever you like."

The pregnant woman's wishes are the most important.

In the evening, Xu Haizhou helped his wife wash up. Qiao Lu originally wanted to go to the bathroom to take a shower, but Xu Haizhou didn't let her, saying that he was afraid she would fall.

Qiao Lu didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "You're going to throw away your food because of choking before it even falls?"

Xu Haizhou said righteously: "It's not safe. I'm worried."

Qiao Lu: "What can I do? You can't stop me from taking a shower during my entire pregnancy, right?"

Ten months, of course it is impossible not to wash, the body will become rotten...

After thinking it over, Xu Haizhou said, "Let's move tomorrow. Tomorrow we will move to a new house. It will be clean and safe there."

In fact, the couple had already agreed to move in on New Year's Day to bring good luck.

Moreover, many places inside the house did not achieve the decoration effect that Qiao Lu wanted, and she is still slowly modifying the details.

Seeing Qiao Lu raised her eyebrows, Xu Haizhou patiently explained: "Look, there are many inconvenient places living here. For example, this public toilet, there is not even a light inside. I heard that pregnant women urinate a lot, it is not safe for you to go there at night. I am a grown man and it is not easy for me to accompany you in... If you fall and have an accident, I dare not take the risk."

"Besides, the house has been renovated. Even if there are some minor details that haven't been fixed, we can move in first and then slowly adjust it..."

Seeing that she just stared at him without saying anything, Xu Haizhou felt unsure.

Could it be that my dear wife wants to decorate the house to perfection before moving in?

But he felt that now was the best time. After all, the children were here, so didn't it mean that they should move into their new home as soon as possible?

"Jolu, what do you think?"

She still said nothing, just stared at him.

Xu Haizhou scratched the back of his head, his Adam's apple rolled, and just as he was about to speak, Qiao Lu burst out laughing, pinched his face, and pulled it to both sides.

"I'm just teasing you! Look how nervous you are, your head is covered in sweat. Is it necessary? I'm not a tigress, are you afraid of me? Look at how miserable you are."

She wiped the sweat off his face with her fingertips and said, "What an idiot! You're pregnant now. When are you going to move in and build a new house?"

Qiao Lu laughed so hard that her stomach was bouncing, and Xu Haizhou grabbed her wrist with his backhand.

He was not angry at her joke, but smiled innocently: "It's okay, just tease me, as long as you are happy."

"Stupid, hurry up and pack your bags! I'm waiting to sleep in my new bed!"

"Yes, sir!"

I started packing my luggage in a hurry.

"Dad, let me help you!"

Xu Haizhou pushed the little guy away: "Don't help me, go help Dad take care of Mom. Mom is the one who needs care the most in our family now."

Qiao An shrugged, climbed onto the bed obediently and hugged Qiao Lu, clearly happy, but with a reluctant expression on his face: "Okay, then, I'll help you."

The helpless yet cute tone made Xu Haizhou laugh for a long time.

That night was as cool as water.

The mother and daughter slept in each other's arms, and Xu Haizhou hugged them from behind. In such a warm atmosphere, they should have fallen asleep quickly, but they tossed and turned all night and couldn't sleep well.

Instead, because of the high frequency of tossing and turning, the mother and son who were sleeping soundly were woken up.

"What are you doing, making pancakes?"

"Dad, Dad, why don't you sleep..." Probably because he was too sleepy, the little guy muttered, turned over, lay in Qiao Lu's arms, and fell asleep again after two seconds.

"It's okay. I just have insomnia. I'll go to the crib tonight. You two can go to sleep."

The big bed is actually less than 1.5 meters, about 1.35 meters, not that spacious, so Xu Haizhou chose to sleep in the small bed today to give his wife and son more space so that they can sleep more comfortably.

Xu Haizhou couldn't sleep, so he got up in the middle of the night and continued packing his luggage. He didn't pack until he was completely exhausted and fell asleep.

At dawn the next day, Xu Haizhou woke up slowly.

His chest felt hot and something heavy was pressing on him, making it hard for him to breathe.

When he looked up, he found that his son was sleeping soundly on his chest, lying limply like a lump of mud, his red lips pouting and smelling sweet.

"An An?" Xu Haizhou was confused and asked, "When did you come?"

The kid yawned and imitated him by rubbing his eyes. The father and son acted in unison.

"Dad, I just woke up and found that you were alone in the crib. Did mom and I squeeze you down? Dad feels a little pitiful and lonely, so An An came to accompany you."

After saying that, she rubbed her cheek against his belly and closed her eyes.

Xu Haizhou's heart was immediately enveloped by a warm current. He kissed his face, feeling the warm and soft touch: "My son is so good."

"But son." Xu Haizhou stroked his back and whispered, "Mom is pregnant with a baby, you can't sleep on her belly."

Qiao An didn't even blink, and replied: "Yes, An An knows."

He is not stupid.

Get up, make breakfast, pack your luggage for the last time, and get ready to move to your new home!

When Qiao Lu woke up, she was dumbfounded when she saw the dazzling array of breakfast on the dining table.

I counted them and found six in total:

Millet and pumpkin porridge, brown sugar steamed buns, tea leaf eggs, stir-fried pickled mustard tuber with shredded pork, jujube rolls, stir-fried shredded cabbage...they are not expensive ingredients, but aren't the varieties too rich?

It's 1984 now, not 2084!

"What are you doing? Making such a fuss? It's not necessary even if you're pregnant. You can't finish it. And this is my second child, so there's no need to be overly nervous."

I heard from the elders that having a second child is easier than having a first child and the risks are no higher. So even though Qiao Lu was afraid of having children, the pain of childbirth was slightly alleviated because it was her second child.

Xu Haizhou pulled out a chair and let Qiao Lu sit down: "What's wrong with the second child? Even if it's the third child, I will still treat you well."

"You're so beautiful." Don't even think about having a third child. The one in her belly is the first and last one she'll give birth to. Don't even think about having another one.

If she didn't really love him, Qiao Lu would definitely be an infertile person!

Xu Haizhou smiled and wanted to say something, but Qiao An imitated his father and said, "Even if mommy doesn't have a baby, An An will still treat you well~"

Hey guys, there is always a mountain higher than the other. Are you and your son competing with each other to pamper your wife/mother recently?

"Oh my, my husband and son are so caring, I'm so happy~"

"Hehe~ An An is also happy~"

The news that Qiao Lu and her family of three had moved to a new home was eventually known to their neighbors, and they all expressed their confusion.

Especially the children in the big compound, they were reluctant to let Qiao An go, reluctant to let Qiao Lu go, and even more reluctant to let Qiao Lu's family TV go!

Even Chen Jiamei, who used to dislike her, said that she didn't want her to leave?

The author has something to say:

There is one more update, at 21 o'clock, it's time to deal with the old house.
