Chapter 209: Asking Huo Jingchen not to sleep with her
Zhao Min explained softly to Yaoyao, "This is your uncle and aunt."
"Are you the uncle that mom always talks about? The uncle who is always out and never comes home?" Ya Yao's last question stopped Huo Jingchen in his tracks.
Yaoyao left Zhao Min and walked to Xia Mi, "Aunt, you are so beautiful, even prettier than our school's music teacher."
"Thank you, you are cute too." Seeing Yaoyao appear, Xia Mi reacted to a problem.
She hasn't prepared the red envelopes yet, as an aunt, she has to give red envelopes to the younger generation.
I have some money on me, but I haven’t bought any red envelopes yet.
I will be visiting relatives in a few days and giving them red envelopes is inevitable. The styles of red envelopes in the mall are too advanced and trendy and not suitable for now.
Xia Mi looked at the room full of vegetables and knew that she would not have much time to go shopping in the afternoon, so she wanted to wait until noon to see if she could find time.
Or let Huo Jingchen buy it.
With the addition of my brother-in-law, the food preparation work went smoothly and much faster than expected.
Huo Jingchen was called out by Xia Mi to buy red envelopes. She was accompanying Zhao Min to cook dumplings and prepare lunch.
In the afternoon, people started to go home one after another. Huo Yanshan was sent back at three o'clock, and Huo Jingting arrived home before dark.
Huo Jinying was the last one to arrive, and there were exactly eight people at the table.
There were a lot of dishes on the table, a total of ten dishes, which meant perfection. There were fish, chicken, duck, and some local specialties.
Huo Yanshan first said some New Year greetings, and then began to pay tribute to Xia Mi.
"At the same time, our family has a new member this year. Xiao Mi, welcome to join the Huo family. I hope that your career will be successful and everything will go well in the new year. It would be best if we could add another new member to our family next year."
Today is New Year's Eve, and all the family members are here. It can be seen that Huo Yanshan is really happy.
When they are happy, they talk more frequently.
Xia Mi looked at Huo Jingchen, thinking that now was a good time to be open and could perfectly follow up on her father-in-law's words.
Xia Mi picked up the cup and took a sip of water. "I wish Dad everything goes well in the new year, good things happen one after another, and most importantly, good health."
Huo Jinying has already seen Huo Jingchen's examination results and there is no problem.
In this case, Xia Mi and Huo Jingchen have not taken any precautions and have not conceived. Is it really Xia Mi's problem?
Huo Jinying was worried that her mother would also rush to give birth, so she raised her glass to toast her parents.
Everything Huo Jingchen wanted to say was interrupted by his second sister's sudden toast.
"Mom and Dad, I have something to tell you." Huo Jingchen waited until the toast was over before speaking.
Zhao Min and Huo Yanshan waited quietly for Huo Jingchen to speak.
Everyone at the table was waiting for him to speak, even the child Yaoyao who was eating was looking at Huo Jingchen seriously.
"Xiao Mi is pregnant, and you will be grandparents."
When the words came out, some were surprised, some were happy.
Zhao Min's eyes widened, and she couldn't suppress the corners of her mouth. "Is this true? It's New Year's Eve tonight and we can't joke around. When did you find out?"
Huo Jinying was just daydreaming, and now she heard the news that Xia Mi was pregnant. It would be a lie to say that she wasn't shocked.
Even Huo Yanshan, who was always steady and worked as a leader outside, couldn't help but repeatedly ask whether it was true or not.
Xia Mi nodded and said, "I went to the clinic to get medicine today, and the doctor found it out after taking my pulse."
"That's great, that's great. We're going to be grandparents now, Yanshan. Did you hear that? I'm going to be a grandmother. I thought these two kids wouldn't get married and have kids, but I didn't expect Jingchen, who I was least optimistic about, actually has a child!"
Zhao Min was so excited that tears came to her eyes, and she accidentally blurted out what was in her heart.
"I know you are excited, but don't get excited yet. You have high blood pressure." Huo Yanshan was excited when he saw his wife like this, but he had to control himself.
"How can I not be excited about this? This is great news!"
Zhao Min spoke quickly and excitedly.
Huo Jinying was also a little worried and tried to persuade her, "Mom, don't scare me. You'll be tired of being a grandmother in the future."
Speaking of the future, everyone seemed to be too happy and forgot that Xia Mi still had to follow Huo Jingchen back to the island.
Zhao Min immediately said, "Xiao Mi will stay in the imperial capital from now on. I will take care of her and give birth to the child. You like to be a soldier, and you can do what you want."
"Mom, let's eat first. If you don't eat now, the food will get cold." Xia Mi reminded. She knew that her mother-in-law would not listen to anything she said, so she had to go along with it for now.
Huo Jinying also noticed that her mother was too excited and tried to persuade her.
"Yes, Mom, let's eat first. If there's anything, we can discuss it after dinner."
Zhao Min had no choice but to eat first. She said, "I want to eat two bowls of rice tonight."
The New Year's Eve reunion atmosphere reached a new height when Xia Mi and Huo Jingchen announced their happy event.
After the New Year’s Eve dinner, red envelopes are given out as New Year’s money.
Yaoyao's brother didn't come, so Xia Mi could only pass it to Huo Jinying.
Xia Mi received two red envelopes, one of which was given on the spot and was from Zhao Min and Huo Yanshan.
"I should have given you one of these red envelopes a long time ago. I don't know what the customs are over there, so I thought I'd give it an auspicious number."
Zhao Min took out another one and said, "I just packed this upstairs for my first future grandson or granddaughter."
"Thank you, Mom, thank you, Dad, but isn't it a bit too early to get a red envelope when the baby isn't even born yet?"
"It's not too early. Since you already have a child, that's what you deserve." Huo Yanshan let Xia Mi accept it with confidence.
Xia Mi had no choice but to thank him again. She touched her red envelope and was really surprised at how thick it was. The child's red envelope was less than one-fifth of hers.
Wait until night to return to the room.
When Xia Mi finished washing up and was about to lie down on the bed to rest, there was a knock on the door.
"Xiao Mi, it's me." Zhao Min's voice came from outside.
Huo Jingchen was still taking a shower. Xia Mi went to open the door in her slippers, "Mom."
"This is the milk I made for you. Drink it while it's hot. You'll sleep well at night and it will also replenish protein." Zhao Min held a cup of steaming milk.
"Mom, I don't like drinking milk. You drink it. I'm prone to vomiting if I drink it." Xia Mi smelled the fragrance of milk and always felt that there was a fishy smell.
This is related to her previous life. When she was a child, her parents always liked to order breakfast milk. There were a few times when she drank it because it was not processed properly and it tasted very fishy.
She was scared of drinking and developed a psychological trauma.
As a result, I feel a little nauseous when I see milk now.
Zhao Min saw Xia Mi frowning and knew she didn't like to drink, so she didn't force her.
"Xiao Mi, you're pregnant now. Do you want to sleep in a separate room from Jing Chen? There's an empty room downstairs. I'm worried he'll disturb your rest."
Xia Mi didn't think much about it, "No, I'm already sleepy now, I fell asleep as soon as I lay down on the bed, he won't wake me up."
Seeing that Xia Mi didn't understand what she meant, Zhao Min had no choice but to nod and say goodbye, then left with the milk.
Just as he left, Huo Jingchen came out of the bathroom. He wiped his hair and asked, "Mom is here?"
