Upon seeing the two return, Ruan Ruan immediately went up to them, grabbed their hands, and asked, "How was it? How was it?"
"Yes, I'm pregnant," Qian Ling said gently, placing her hand on her stomach.
Ruan Ruan was very happy after hearing the answer and helped Qian Ling into the house.
"Grandma, Grandma, come quick! Your sister-in-law has good news for you!"
Grandma, who was busy in the kitchen, heard her granddaughter calling her. She immediately put down what she was doing, quickly washed her hands, and came out.
"What's wrong? What's wrong? Xiaoling, do you have some good news to tell me?"
Faced with her grandmother's eager gaze, Qian Ling was momentarily at a loss for words. She glanced at her sister-in-law beside her, and after receiving an encouraging look, said shyly, "Grandma, I'm pregnant. You're going to be a great-grandma!"
"Oh, great, great, this is really good news! Quick, quick, sit on the sofa. How long has it been? What did the doctor say? Where is Ruan Shaohong? That rascal, where is he at this crucial moment?"
Hearing her granddaughter-in-law's words, the old lady was overjoyed. As she got older, she longed for many children and blessings. Every time she went out and saw other people's children, she wanted to play with them. Whenever she was asked, "When does your granddaughter-in-law plan to have children?" the old lady would smile and say that she looked at the young couple and that she was too old for her children to worry about.
She always says that. Yes, other old ladies envy her current life. Her family is harmonious, her children are filial, and her grandchildren are all successful. In addition, after her granddaughter was found this year, the benefits that Ruan Ruan brought to the Ruan family are something that no other family's children have.
Who wouldn't be envious?
But now things are great, her family is about to have a new member, that's wonderful!
"Grandma, I'm here!" Ruan Shaohong didn't expect that he would hear his grandmother's angry voice after only standing in the yard for a while. It seems that he really treats his wife very badly! Otherwise, the usually gentle old lady wouldn't have called him a brat.
"Where have you been? Your wife is pregnant, don't you know that? You've been gone for so long, why don't you go get her a glass of water? You don't even know how to warm her up. Honestly, what use are you!"
Seeing him come in from outside, she was furious. He was such a jerk.
"good"
Under the old lady's disappointed gaze, she walked towards the kitchen. As soon as she reached the door, she saw Huo Haocheng already standing there with two glasses of water.
He handed him the water in his hand, mouthing him to hurry up, then turned around, went inside, picked up another glass of water, and followed behind him.
He knew that Ruan Ruan was pregnant when he heard her call her "Grandma".
When the two returned to their room last night, Ruan Ruan whispered in his ear and explained that it wasn't that she didn't want to have children for him, but that she was still young and wanted to wait another year until she was 20 to have children, which would be better for her health.
Actually, he wasn't in a hurry to have children. In the army, he had seen too many wives have all sorts of reactions after becoming pregnant, such as vomiting, not being able to eat, and in severe cases, they even had to go to the hospital. Sometimes, the husbands had to go on missions, leaving their wives alone at home.
Therefore, he didn't want her to suffer, nor did he want her to be away on a mission while she was pregnant, leaving her alone at home. So he agreed with her suggestion to have children later.
So, upon learning that Qian Ling was indeed pregnant, Huo Haocheng's first thought was that they had been out for too long and needed some hot water to warm up. Therefore, he didn't go out with them but went to get some water. However, after hearing his grandmother's words, he stood there with the water cup, waiting for Ruan Shaohong to come over.
When he brought the water for Ruan Ruan to her side, he heard his grandmother asking again.
"Ruan Shaohong, tell me, what did the doctor tell you? How old is the child now? What should we pay attention to?"
"Grandma, the doctor said the baby is three weeks old now, and both the mother and baby are healthy. All we need to do is make sure my daughter-in-law gets plenty of rest and gets enough nutrition."
Ruan Shaohong tried hard to recall what the doctor had said, and finally handed over the examination report from his pocket.
Hearing his words, the old lady didn't say anything. She took the list, looked at it, and then said to Qian Ling, "Xiao Ling, the first three months of a woman's pregnancy are very important. You must pay close attention to this. Sometimes, you should let others do things for you. Don't do things yourself, okay? I'll go to the kitchen and see if there's anything that pregnant women shouldn't eat. Make sure you separate it out. You can't be careless about this."
"Ruan Shaohong, go to your maternal grandparents' house and call your grandfather back, then tell your grandparents the good news."
After saying that, the old lady told Qian Ling to rest well, and then went to the kitchen to get busy.
Hearing the old lady say that, Ruan Shaohong told Qian Ling and then went out.
Seeing his expression, Huo Haocheng said something to Ruan Ruan and then followed him out.
"Big brother, wait a minute!" Huo Haocheng, who had chased after him, called out to him.
"What are your plans?" he asked as the two walked side by side down the road.
"I don't know either. You know, we're going back to Yuncheng in the next day or two. Xiaoling's job is in Beijing, and she's pregnant. I can't be by her side. Am I really going to..." You don't need him to say what he's going to say next; you know what he's going to say.
"Have you ever thought about transferring back to the capital?" Judging from his appearance, he didn't seem like someone who had no feelings for Qian Ling.
This must be what Ruan Ruan meant when she said, "Having feelings but not knowing them."
"Should I be transferred back?" He had never considered this question. As a soldier, obeying orders was his duty.
"Yes, transfer him back to your original unit. That way, you'll have time to take care of your wife. As you know, our special unit was just established, and we completed this mission very well. Therefore, we will have many more missions to take care of in the future, and the corresponding dangers will be very high. If you want to take good care of your family and children, the best way is to apply for a transfer back."
"Don't rush to refuse. As the next head of the Ruan family, your first priority should be your own safety. In the special forces, there are already five members of the Ruan family, including myself and now Bai Sirui. We don't need so many people to sacrifice themselves for military merit. What's more important for us is to preserve our strength. With you in the capital, it will be more convenient for us to act in the future."
"Think it over carefully. I think this is an opportunity. With your military achievements this time, you should be able to get a promotion if you return to the capital."
They all knew that Huo Haocheng was right. The old men of both families were still alive and could speak to them, but what if they were gone one day? Even if their fathers held important positions in the military, their generation had been transferred away from the capital. In the short term, this was good, but in the long run, the Ruan and Gu families would be far removed from the political center, which was a key factor in the rise and fall of a family.
"Okay, I understand. I'll discuss it with my father tonight."
Seeing that he had figured it out, Huo Haocheng patted him on the shoulder, and then the two of them walked briskly towards the Gu family home.
