Chapter 109 It Turns Out to be a Child
When Qi Huaijing heard this, he was stunned for a moment, then he stood up suddenly, and the chessboard and chess pieces fell to the ground with a bang.
"Tang'er!"
Shen Tang smiled at his surprised and happy expression.
She endured for half a day, just waiting for this moment.
"They said it's been less than two months. No wonder I've been feeling so tired lately. It turns out it's..."
Qi Huaijing seemed to be afraid to breathe as he gently covered her still flat belly.
"It turned out to be a child...our child."
The next day, Qi Huaijing really didn't go out the whole day... To be precise, he didn't go out for three consecutive days.
Even though the doctor Shen Tang hired said everything was fine, he still hired three doctors in succession, determined to hear their diagnosis in person.
"The fetus is healthy and full of energy. It is common for pregnant women to feel a little tired. There is really no need to take medicine."
What the doctors said was more or less the same. Every time Qi Huaijing heard it, he felt happy and comforted, but also a little bit panicked... He was the father of Chen Tang's child!
Even so, Qi Huaijing still kept the doctors for tea and asked them in detail what a pregnant woman should eat, drink, and wear... He asked each doctor the same question, patiently and meticulously.
Chen Tang was filled with joy when he saw him talking to someone one after another, and when the doctor left, he couldn't help laughing at him.
"Husband, you are even more nagging than your wife."
When Madam Yue really came to Wutong Garden, Chen Tang took back what he had just said.
The son is still no match for his mother!
As soon as Madam Yue entered the room, she grabbed Shen Tang and held him in her arms, and tears began to fall.
"My dearest sweetheart!"
Motherly love is deep. Chen Tang's face was distorted by her hug. She tried hard to wink at Qi Huaijing in the gap.
Help! Help!
Qi Huaijing frowned, went over to tear his wife out of his mother's arms, and protected her behind him.
"Let go, you let go first... Why are you crying for no reason?"
He spoke with confidence because he had wiped away his tears long ago.
When Madam Yue saw that she couldn’t hug Chen Tang, she simply hugged him.
"My son, you don't know how happy I am! You have a child! I can finally see your child!"
After all, the doctor had said that it would be difficult for him to have children, and she felt that it was not easy for Chen Tang to get pregnant so quickly.
Qi Huaijing had just learned that he was going to be a father. Seeing that Chen Tang had a poor appetite and chest tightness, he rarely felt filial piety, thinking that "being a mother is not easy". He gritted his teeth and let Madam Yue hold him and cried for a while.
Chen Tang sat aside with a smile on her face, thinking back to yesterday when Qi Huaijing held her in the study and refused to let go. He was exactly like Madam Yue.
Mrs. Yue is finally busy again!
Things flowed from Yujintang to Wutongyuan like water, including tonics for pregnancy protection, fashionable silks, and calming ornaments... She sent whatever she could think of, and soon the warehouse of Wutongyuan was filled with them.
After finishing all this, she remembered another serious matter, and asked Nanny Sun to invite a number of embroiderers to make small clothes and shoes in advance. Occasionally, she would personally take up the embroidery needle that had not been used for many years and sew a few times...
Every ten days or half a month, a large box would be made and sent to Wutong Garden.
Chen Tang stroked her belly, which had just bulged a little, and looked at a box of red brocade quilts, tiger-head hats, tiger-head shoes... Each of the small shoes and hats was dangling with pearls.
"These new clothes look familiar. They seem... very similar to the clothes you wore when you were a child."
Qi Huaijing nodded.
"Indeed. My mother always liked to play with this stuff. I don't know how many of them I threw away back then."
Shen Tang was a little worried.
"You said that your wife has collected all your childhood clothes. In the future, she will also collect our children's clothes..."
"Just wait and see. She's probably already preparing the warehouse."
In addition to food, clothing and other daily necessities, Mrs. Yue also did not forget to burn incense and fulfill her vows, worship Guanyin, and distribute porridge at the temple gate on the first and fifteenth days of each month.
"Sincerity pays off! My mother's prayers were well worth it. The Bodhisattva really showed his power and cured my son's illness so quickly!"
Qi Huaijing: “…”
Madam Yue was very busy, and Qi Huaijing was unusually indifferent. As long as she didn't let Chen Tang take those strange supplements, he would let her do her work.
After all, he also wanted to do the things she was busy with...
Thank you Buddha!
He and his mother finally had a bond again.
In addition to being sleepy, Chen Tang's taste also quickly changed, and he suddenly lost his appetite for the foods he used to love.
He doesn't eat fish or shrimp because he says they have a fishy smell.
People don't eat mutton because they say it has a strong smell.
He doesn't eat chicken, duck, or goose, saying that they smell like chicken, duck, or goose.
He doesn’t even eat eggs, saying they smell like... eggs.
I watched helplessly as I became thinner and thinner, yet I refused to eat anything.
Qi Huaijing finally understood how Madam Yue viewed him as a picky eater - she wanted to beat him to death, but she couldn't bear to do so.
He wished he could eat a few bites for her.
Chen Tang was much more obedient than him. It wasn't that she refused to eat at all, but she would vomit after eating. Her vomiting was so loud that even her shoulders and back were shaking.
Qi Huaijing gasped at this and quickly compromised, letting her eat whatever she wanted according to her mood.
"I want peaches...watermelons...apricots!"
"purchase!"
After buying the sweetest fruit, Chen Tang suddenly didn't want to eat it anymore.
"A smell of... peaches!"
Qi Huaijing was so angry that his back teeth were almost broken. If peaches don’t taste like peaches, what else could they taste like!
There was no other way. I couldn’t finish the food at home, so I sneaked out to eat.
The couple took advantage of the night, passed through the Little East Gate, and sneaked into a restaurant on a street in the city to have dinner without anyone noticing.
After finally coming out, there was a table full of delicious food, but Chen Tang only took two bites and put down his chopsticks.
"It smells like... vegetables."
Qi Huaijing felt a terrible headache when he saw her aggrieved look on her face.
Since ancient times, evildoers have their own evil to punish. Qi Huaijing felt that his retribution... was Chen Tang.
She had no appetite for the delicious food on the table, but the wonton stall on the street made her so greedy that she couldn't walk.
Qi Huaijing was a little surprised, "You want to eat?"
Shen Tang spoke before he could ask.
"Boss, give me a bowl of wontons! Three fresh fillings! A big bowl! Plenty of vinegar and chili!"
Late at night, she ate two and a half bowls in a row at the wonton stall.
In fact, she could have eaten more than the third bowl, but Qi Huaijing was afraid that she would get sick from eating too much, so he snatched the last half bowl and ate it all.
She was indeed too full, her belly was slightly bulging, and she had to walk slowly home.
As she was almost home, she suddenly remembered.
"Hey, don't you always hate stuffing?"
Not only does he not eat stuffing, he also doesn't eat takeout food, and he certainly doesn't eat other people's leftovers.
Qi Huaijing was happy to see that she showed no signs of vomiting.
"Hush! Keep your voice down, don't let the children learn bad things."
