Chapter 572: Years of Peace and Joy
Recently, Shen Zhichu started learning to knit sweaters. As for needlework, she only knows how to knit scarves, which is not difficult.
It was her first time learning to knit a sweater, and Bai's mother was teaching her.
The baby’s due date is around mid-October. After the baby is born, winter will come in two or three months, and the knitted sweater can be worn.
Chen Zhichu is a quick learner and has flexible fingers. After Bai's mother taught her once, she knew the steps. Seeing that she learned quickly, Bai's mother taught her a few more tricks.
Two women sat on the sofa in the living room, knitting with the TV on.
Normally, Shen Zhichu knits very quickly, but she didn’t know what was wrong today. Her fingers were tangled in the yarn from time to time, and she missed a few stitches in the middle, so she had to take it apart and start knitting again.
When Bai Qiujing came back, she saw Shen Zhichu sitting quietly on the sofa, knitting a sweater seriously. The needle tip was spinning very fast in the air, and the wool was shrinking and entwining around her fingertips little by little.
She must have just washed her hair, with her long hair draped behind her and a few strands falling from her ears. The sunlight shining in from the window fell squarely on her, looking unspeakably gentle.
Bai Qiujing walked over without disturbing Shen Zhichu, but Shen Zhichu had already noticed it when he approached her, and she met Bai Qiujing's eyes as soon as she looked up.
"Why are you back so early today?" The sun hasn't even set yet, so it should be less than four o'clock at this time.
"I wanted to come back early to accompany you." Bai Qiujing sat down next to her, looked at the sweater in Shen Zhichu's hand, raised an eyebrow and asked in surprise: "You have knitted so much already?"
Shen Zhichu smiled smugly and took out the half-finished sweater to show Bai Qiujing: "It looks good, doesn't it?"
"It looks good. I'm a little jealous. You've never knitted a sweater for me." Bai Qiujing muttered, looking at Shen Zhichu's abdomen.
Shen Zhichu almost laughed out loud: "You are so useless to be jealous of two unborn children?"
Bai Qiujing's resentful look told her that he was not just talking.
Shen Zhichu coaxed: "Okay, I'll knit you one when I finish knitting these two sweaters, but the ones I knit are not as pretty as the ones you buy."
"What you knit yourself is the most beautiful thing in the world. I wear it every day."
Shen Zhichu jokingly asked, "You wear it in summer too?"
"Wear it." Bai Qiujing replied without thinking. If Shen Zhichu knitted a sweater for him, he would either be reluctant to wear it or be reluctant to take it off after wearing it.
Shen Zhichu: "The heat won't kill you."
Bai Qiujing sat aside and watched quietly how Shen Zhichu knitted a sweater. After watching it several times, he felt that he had learned how to do it himself.
People just have an inexplicable sense of confidence.
Bai Qiujing saw a ball of wool and a half-knitted sweater at the other end of the sofa. He walked over and started to imitate them.
Brain: I got it
Hand: I’m useless.
A good ball of wool was in a mess in his hands. Bai's mother went to the bathroom and returned to the living room to see that the sweater she had worked so hard to knit for Shen Zhichu had been torn apart by her prodigal son. She had originally knitted two-thirds of the sweater, but now only a small edge was left and it was impossible to tell what it was originally.
Bai's mother was furious. She went over and slapped Bai Qiujing on the head: "Why did you take apart the sweater I worked so hard to knit?"
Bai Qiujing was beaten so hard he almost fainted. Seeing the rage in his mother's eyes, he dropped his hands and said, "I just want to learn how to knit a sweater. When I learn, I'll knit one for Chuchu."
The curse on her lips was swallowed back. Bai's mother didn't expect Bai Qiujing to have such a thought. "But can't you just find a skewer and a ball of yarn and knit it yourself? Why are you tearing hers apart?"
Bai Qiujing explained, "I wanted to see the details and understand the process. I didn't know the thread was woven tightly, so I just pulled it out and it disappeared. I didn't get to see the whole process clearly."
So it was her fault?
Bai's mother grabbed his ear and kept pulling it. Bai Qiujing screamed in pain, and kept calling Shen Zhichu's name and asking her to save him.
Shen Zhichu laughed as she watched from the side. She laughed too much and her stomach started to hurt. Her face turned pale. Qiu Jing immediately realized something was wrong and ran to her: "What's wrong? Is your stomach upset?"
It feels like a stream of air is swirling around the side of the waist. To put it simply, it is a cramp caused by laughing.
"It's okay, I'm fine, I just laughed too much."
Bai Qiujing quickly ran to get some hot water, and only after he saw Shen Zhichu's expression ease after drinking the water did he finally breathe a sigh of relief.
Although Shen Zhichu always told him not to worry and that she was fine, he still felt that he had to be extra careful.
Before Chen Zhichu was pregnant, she was his treasure. Now that she was pregnant, she was as precious as a fragile item, and he was always worried that she would break if he was not careful.
"Chu Chu, why do I feel like your belly seems a little bigger than yesterday?" Bai Qiujing asked as he looked carefully at Shen Zhichu's abdomen.
"Really?" Shen Zhichu looked down, "Maybe it's because I drank a bottle of yogurt just now."
"I'll take you to weigh yourself."
Shen Zhichu curled up on the sofa and was unwilling to get up: "I don't want to move."
Bai Qiujing brought a scale and weighed himself first, then came over and carried Chen Zhichu to the scale. He was two kilograms heavier than yesterday.
Bai Qiujing took out the memo he had prepared and wrote down Shen Zhichu's latest weight, heart rate and blood pressure...
Bai's mother did not stay to disturb the young couple. She had to go back home in the evening and took the bus back without even having dinner.
Shen Zhichu has recently become addicted to eating spicy and sour food. He can't eat too much spicy and sour boneless chicken feet. Bai Qiujing cooks for Shen Zhichu in different ways, making different dishes every day.
Today they had hot and sour boiled fish. Shen Zhichu didn't vomit after eating it, but burped happily. The two of them took two walks outside. Bai Qiujing would habitually hold Shen Zhichu's hand and let her walk inside.
At night, Shen Zhichu couldn't sleep. She had been dreaming a lot in the past two days. The doctor had told her in advance to relax and not to feel stressed about the pregnancy, but mental stress cannot be controlled.
Looking at the slightly bulging belly, the nervous anticipation in my heart grew day by day.
Because of these pressures, Shen Zhichu's dreams at night were not good dreams, but messy dreams, mostly about the baby in her belly.
For example, the baby cannot be born due to some problems, miscarriage occurs accidentally, or conjoined twins are born.
One night she was frightened by a nightmare and cried, which scared Bai Qiujing terribly. He comforted her in a gentle voice for most of the night and told her that it was just a dream and that nightmares and reality were the opposite.
If you don’t sleep well at night, you will be in a bad mood during the day. If you sleep too long during the day, you will sleep even worse at night. This cycle will eventually disrupt your biological clock.
"I can't sleep. Tell me a story." Shen Zhichu lay on his side in Bai Qiujing's arms and poked his chin with his finger.
Bai Qiujing, who was drowsy with his eyes closed, suddenly woke up. He squinted his eyes and told a story while gently patting Shen Zhichu's back to coax her to sleep.
He said: "Once upon a time, there was an elephant who went to the toilet without any toilet paper. He looked at a little white rabbit and asked, 'Are you afraid of shedding hair?' The little white rabbit said, 'I'm not afraid.' So the elephant picked up the little white rabbit and wiped his butt. The next day, the elephant forgot to bring toilet paper again after dinner. He asked the little squirrel next to him, 'Hey, are you afraid of shedding hair?' The little squirrel said, 'No,' so the elephant picked up the little squirrel and wiped his mouth. After wiping his mouth, the little squirrel said, 'Brother, I'm the little white rabbit from yesterday.'"
Shen Zhichu: “…”
"Hahahaha..." Shen Zhichu didn't react much, but Bai Qiujing woke himself up with laughter. He looked at Shen Zhichu with a calm face and was stunned for a moment, "Don't you think it's funny?"
"Not at all."
Bai Qiujing lowered his head and pecked Shen Zhichu's slightly pouting lips lightly, like a dragonfly touching the water.
Bai Qiujing didn't dare to hug her too tightly, for fear of making her uncomfortable. He leaned against her ear, and the two of them were very close. The sound of his breathing ruffled the hair by Shen Zhichu's ear, making it itchy.
"At first I really thought I was living a very happy life, so happy that it felt unreal, you know?"
"How is it unreal?"
"God has been so kind to me to have such a beautiful wife and two unborn babies."
They have come to where they are today by taking one step at a time. They have paid a lot, but fortunately they have gained even more.
Because of my hard work, I cherish it now.
Shen Zhichu leaned in Bai Qiujing's arms, listening to his heartbeat, and said, "We agreed to always stand by each other's side, this year, next year, or in a few decades, when we are old and can no longer walk, no matter what the road ahead holds, we will watch it together."
Bai Qiujing hugged her gently. "That's right. If we can't walk anymore, we can let the children take us around. By the way, I've thought of two nicknames for the children these past few days, Anbao and Nianbao. What do you think?"
An Nian means daily life and ordinary years. We don’t ask them to be rich and powerful, but only ask them to be safe and happy every year.
"It sounds nice." Shen Zhichu's voice was soft and hoarse. Bai Qiujing looked down and saw that the person in his arms had closed his eyes, obviously going to sleep.
Bai Qiujing smiled and put Shen Zhichu into a comfortable sleeping position.
That night, Shen Zhichu did not have a nightmare. She dreamed that she gave birth to two healthy babies safely. The two children grew up and learned to walk. They stumbled towards her and kept calling "Mom".
Twenty weeks pregnant, Bai Qiujing accompanied Shen Zhichu to the hospital for a prenatal check-up. When Shen Zhichu was doing the B-ultrasound, Bai Qiujing kept staring at the screen. The four-month-old fetus was already very obvious, with two meatballs tightly pressed together.
Helping Shen Zhichu to stand up, the doctor pointed to the screen and said, "Don't worry, the children are healthy and both fetuses are developing normally. However, you still need to be cautious and come for regular prenatal checkups and supplement your nutrition."
Bai Qiujing remembered it in his heart, and sent the ultrasound picture to his mobile phone, which he immediately sent to his family group and work group.
The words typed out were filled with pride: "Look at my daughter."
The agent looked at Bai Qiujing whose screen was flooded with emoticons, covered his face and sighed: Actor Bai is here again, this is the eighth time this month.
Before they fell in love, he narcissistically showed off that Chen Zhichu had feelings for him. After they fell in love, he showed off that he was married. After they got married, he showed off his children. In the group, he either talked about his wife or praised her.
Someone in the group must reply to him. If no one replies, he will keep spamming the screen, asking him one question after another whether his wife is great.
They don't care at all that the group is full of single people who are forced to eat dog food every day! They have no warm heart to protect "animals"!
As the two walked out of the hospital, their cell phones rang. Shen Zhichu thought it was Bai Qiujing's phone ringing, but after listening for a while she realized it was her own. When she took out her phone and saw the number, her pupils suddenly darkened.
