Chapter 208 Creating a Surprise
As a doctor, Xia Mi naturally knew the meaning of asking about menstrual period. After thinking about it carefully, she was surprised to find that her current symptoms were consistent with early pregnancy!
Recalling her menstrual period, Xia Mi found that it had been delayed for more than half a month.
There were a lot of things going on last month and time passed quickly, so she only realized it belatedly.
"Number three is here."
However, it's almost the end of the month, and her period still doesn't seem to be coming...
"Put your hand out."
Xia Mi obediently stretched out her hand, and the doctor pressed his index and middle fingers on her wrist to take her pulse.
In less than a minute, the doctor gave the diagnosis.
"Even though you're pregnant, you need to be careful. I won't give you any medicine. Don't take any medicine without permission, as it may affect the baby."
Xia Mi hadn't reacted yet, "I'm pregnant?"
"Well, congratulations. Go back and take good care of yourself." The doctor was very busy and called the next person directly, "Next."
Xia Mi was still a little overwhelmed when she walked out of the clinic. It would be a lie to say she wasn't surprised, but this was too much of a coincidence.
Zhao Min saw that Xia Mi looked lost and thought something had happened to her.
"Xiao Mi, why does your expression seem a little off? Are you feeling unwell?"
Xia Mi nodded and shook her head, still unsure how to share this news with her mother-in-law. She explained, "The doctor said it's not serious and told me to keep warm."
"It's better not to take the medicine. All medicines are poisonous. Let's go home. It's cold outside. Don't let you catch a cold."
Xia Mi nodded and followed Zhao Min home.
When I got home, Huo Jingchen was already there. He was sitting on the sofa reading a newspaper with the TV on next to him.
"Where have you been?" Huo Jingchen heard footsteps coming from the door, put down the newspaper and asked.
Zhao Min bent down to change her shoes and did not forget to explain to her son, "Xiao Mi has caught a cold. I'll take her to the clinic."
"How did you catch a cold?" When he went upstairs yesterday, Xia Mi wrapped herself tightly in the quilt, and her body temperature was higher than usual.
"It's okay." Xia Mi hadn't figured out how to talk about this yet.
Should I tell Huo Jingchen first, or announce it during dinner in the evening?
She bit her lower lip, feeling very conflicted. She quickly decided to tell Huo Jingchen first and then wait until the evening to announce the good news.
"Jingchen, come here for a moment, I have something to tell you."
Seeing Xia Mi's serious expression, the mother and son felt inexplicably guilty, and were both worried that Xia Mi would know that Huo Jingchen was not capable.
Zhao Min watched her son go upstairs, and then sat downstairs anxiously waiting for the two men to come down.
"What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?" Huo Jingchen walked in and closed the door behind him.
Xia Mi shook her head, "Jingchen, I think I'm pregnant."
With a buzzing sound, Huo Jingchen felt tinnitus in his ears. He looked at Xia Mi and didn't know how to react for a moment.
Xia Mi briefly mentioned going to the clinic, and after taking her pulse, she found out that she was pregnant.
Looking at the man standing there in a daze, his eyes full of surprise, and unable to react, Xia Mi curled her lips and was amused by his appearance.
"real?"
"It's almost right." Xia Mi still trusted Chinese medicine, and her symptoms were indeed consistent with the early stages of pregnancy.
Huo Jingchen came back to his senses and looked at Xia Mi in surprise and joy. He strode to her side, excitedly reached out and grabbed her shoulders, his emotions beyond words.
"I knew it," he muttered. "That's great."
Xia Mi looked at him doubtfully, "What do you know?"
Huo Jingchen was worried about being laughed at by Xia Mi, so he shook his head and didn't intend to say anything. He felt ashamed of the matter himself.
"Have you told Mom?"
"Not yet. Let's find a chance to talk about it tonight. It's just in time for the New Year's Eve dinner." Xia Mi expressed her thoughts, and Huo Jingchen told everyone.
Huo Jingchen is now at the stage where he holds Xia Mi in his palm for fear of dropping her, and holds her in his mouth for fear of her melting.
He looked at Xia Mi's lower abdomen, his eyes full of love, his mind still lingering on the joy of becoming a father.
"Okay, go down. If you don't go down now, Mom will be worried. Think of an excuse to hide it."
When she went upstairs just now, Xia Mi felt a little strange at the worried look of her mother-in-law.
"You went to see your second sister off this morning. What happened?"
Huo Jingchen paused, "It's nothing, I went for a checkup, and there's nothing wrong."
In fact, the test results have not come out yet. Huo Jinying will bring the results back in the evening. Now it seems that he is very good!
"Go down first. Aunt Liu went home today. Go to the kitchen to help prepare the dishes."
I arranged what I was going to do today yesterday.
"You don't have to go. Just rest up there. I'll find a way to talk to Mom."
Xia Mi shook her head, her attitude very clear, "It's really okay. I know my body well. And have you forgotten? I've always been by my aunt's side. I definitely know these precautions better than you."
"Then be careful. Don't do any heavy work or cut vegetables." Huo Jingchen muttered beside him, and asked again as he walked down the stairs, "It's best not to even wash the vegetables. The water is too cold."
Xia Mi: “…”
When I went downstairs, Zhao Min was already busy in the kitchen.
"mom."
Zhao Min uttered a "hmm" and turned around to see the two of them coming down the stairs. They both had smiles on their faces and didn't look like they were having a quarrel.
"Jingchen, go cut up the duck."
Zhao Min handed a handful of chives to Xia Mi, "Xiao Mi, pick the chives. We'll have dumplings for lunch and save some for dinner."
"Okay." Xia Mi took the leeks and stood aside to pick them. "By the way, Mom, are my aunt and the others coming today?"
"If you don't come, we will just have the reunion dinner as a family. Your aunt and her family have their own family too." Zhao Min was taking out the beef shank that Liu Ma had braised yesterday and cutting it.
"I have to visit relatives tomorrow. I'll take you back to my parents' home on the second day of the New Year."
Zhao Min had already planned the schedule for these days before Xia Mi came.
Xia Mi nodded.
"When are so many relatives of our family going to leave?" Huo Jingchen cut the duck meat and when he heard the itinerary, he was worried that Xia Mi's body could not handle it.
Zhao Min, who was unaware of the situation, thought that Huo Jingchen was arguing again.
"According to our family's current situation, it wouldn't be enough to walk from the first day of the Lunar New Year to the fifteenth day of the Lunar New Year. If we don't go out to visit relatives, a bunch of people will come to block your father's way."
Huo Jingchen thought of a group of people, all kinds of distant relatives, and relatives who were not related at all would come to pay New Year's greetings, and there would be more family members at that time.
Thinking of this, he felt a breath of foul air in his heart, and the strength in his hands was a little greater than before.
Suddenly a childish voice sounded.
"grandmother!"
"Mom, I brought Yaoyao back, and Zhuangzhuang went to his grandmother's house." My brother-in-law was holding two bottles of wine and soda in one hand, and a lot of things in gift boxes in the other hand.
Last time we had dinner, Huo Jinying didn’t bring her children because it was too late.
This was the first time Xia Mi saw her second sister's child. The child looked very much like her brother-in-law, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, especially the big European double eyelids. The child's eyelashes were thick and curled, making him look like a doll.
"Grandma, who are they?" Yaoyao ran over and took Zhao Min's hand, looking at Xia Mi and Huo Jingchen in confusion.
