These words came too suddenly, catching Qin Dongling, who was still thinking about how to coax his wife, off guard.
For a moment, 놛놅's thoughts and movements all stopped.
Xu Mei waited for a while, but saw no response. She wanted to ask, but Qin Dongling suddenly moved closer, and the two of them clung to each other.
His eyes were no longer stunned, but filled with a huge, unreal joy. His deep eyes were filled with indescribable joy and disbelief.
Xu Mei also saw this on the night of their wedding.
But at that time, she didn't seem so excited. Being looked at like this, Xu Mei seemed to be pulled into a huge joy. She rarely became nervous, wondering what the next reaction would be.
"...Really?" Qin Dongling finally found his voice, "I'm going to be a father?"
Xu Mei wanted to retort, but seeing how much she was looking forward to it, she couldn't bear to make her too sad, so she paused and nodded.
Almost the moment she finished speaking, she was hugged tightly by Qin Dongling. "I'm so happy, really. This is the happiest thing for me besides marrying you."
A homeless man finally got his wife and was about to become a father. This feeling could not be summed up in two words.
Xu Mei was touched and couldn't help smiling. She should be happy that Qin Dongling still ranked the joy of marrying her first at this time.
Qin Dongling couldn't believe it and buried his head in Xu Mei's neck, "Is this real?" Can such happiness really happen to you?
"Of course it's true. Would I joke with you about this?"
Xu Mei's voice was choked with sobs, and her eyes turned red.
Qin Dongling responded, exactly as she expected.
The child born from the fusion of two people's blood can finally come into this world amid the expectations of their parents.
…
Qin Dongling was so nervous about Xu Mei's pregnancy that words could not describe it. He was unwilling to let Xu Mei lift anything heavy, and even when going down the stairs he would nervously walk in front and hold Xu Mei's hand.
Xu Mei told him helplessly, "If you do this, I'll fall easily."
Qin Dongling could only let go of his hand and nervously protected her. It was so strange for the two of them to walk like this on the narrow stairs.
Mu Hong brought her son outside and her eyes widened when she saw the two of them like this.
Xu Mei also wanted to save face, so while she was greeting Mu Hong, she secretly pinched Qin Dongling.
"Sister, are you taking Qinghuai with you?"
"Oh, yes," Mu Hong said, "Are you guys going downstairs for a walk?"
"Yeah, it's okay to get familiar with the surroundings." Xu Mei said to Qin Dongling, "You go and do your own thing. Sister Mu and I will take care of it."
Qin Dongling walked away without looking back. The gray and shabby surroundings seemed to have become brand new and beautiful in the eyes of the future father. Even his back showed visibly happy.
"Newlyweds have a great relationship," Mu Hong joked. "Unlike me and my family, all we talk about now is the kids."
The two chatted for a few days on the train, and Xu Mei already knew that Mu Hong had three sons. This time, she brought her youngest son, Zhuo Qinghuai, and the other two sons were taken care of at home by her mother-in-law.
"It's just that my current situation is special. Normally, I wouldn't be so exaggerated." Xu Mei explained.
They were all experienced people, so Mu Hong just nodded and then came to his senses.
"No wonder!"
Mu Hong clapped her hands, "Men are all like this. The first one is a treasure. When our eldest child was born, it was so rare. But when we have more children, it's not surprising anymore. This time, he came here and wrote a letter specifically asking me not to bring all these naughty boys with me."
Xu Mei looked at Zhuo Qinghuai beside her and nodded secretly in her heart. A son was indeed noisy enough. She only wanted a daughter, and only one.
She no longer worried about the timing of her pregnancy. Since God had favored her once, he could favor her a second time. She believed that the fate of mother and daughter could continue.
"Speaking of this," Mu Hong's voice pulled her out of her thoughts again, "This kid is really kind-hearted. The train was so smelly, but I just couldn't see it."
Xu Mei also felt so, and the two of them had a very pleasant chat.
Mu Hong is a warm-hearted woman with a good heart. She knows that Qin Dongling is busy, so she often comes to chat with Xu Mei.
Pregnant women are fragile, so she never mentions the unstable situation in front of Xu Mei; Xu Mei also respects her from the bottom of her heart. Even though she is very talented, she is always humble and polite, and occasionally teaches Zhuo Qinghuai to read.
In short, the two of them get along very happily.
She has always been a cheerful and cheerful woman in everything she does. Knowing that Xu Mei would overthink things, she counseled her, "We are here for a family reunion. Even if you are unhappy, you can't listen to us about this, right?"
"Especially since you're not alone now, you have to make sure you're in a good mood so you can have memories when you leave."
She was busy doing laundry all day long, and even volunteered to sweep the stairs in the family compound, keeping the area clean every day.
Xu Mei was infected by this emotion and began to face it with a positive attitude. She was busy in writing chapters.
In the past, the magazine had hoped that she would write a novel that was related to reality. Perhaps this time, from the perspective of a soldier's wife, she could write a more unique story.
Qin Dongling goes out early and comes home late. In the past few days, whenever he comes home, he can see Xu Mei sitting at the table writing. In order to save kerosene, she cuts the wick very short, and the flame is stable but not very bright.
"You're back?" Hearing the voice, Xu Mei turned her head to look at 놛 and smiled at her.
Except for the first day when she learned about the unstable situation, Xu Mei always maintained her attitude as usual. Even though she was in this situation, she remained motivated and independent.
How can I not love her like this?
"Why aren't you asleep yet? Be careful of your eyes." Qin Dongling stepped forward and gently cut the wick with the scissors beside him, and the flame instantly became brighter.
Xu Mei didn't stop her. She put down her pen and propped up her face with her hands. "I slept well last night and had a good dream."
Qin Dongling looked at her with curved eyes and followed her words and asked, "What dream?"
"I dreamed of giving birth to a daughter." Xu Mei was very happy.
Qin Dongling was silent for a moment, "It seems like dreams are..."
Before he could even finish these two words, Xu Mei glared back at him.
After a pause, he said seriously, "A daughter would be the best. If she were like you, I would dote on her especially."
Xu Mei was a little happy. She had a premonition that the child was a girl.
"By the way," Qin Dongling added, "I have nothing to do tomorrow, I'll take you there."
Talking about going back, both of them felt a little melancholy.
It seems like we just met yesterday, how come this month has passed so quickly.
Xu Mei looked at her and said, "No matter what time, safety comes first. The baby and I are waiting for you to come back."
"I know." Qin Dongling said seriously.
