Chapter 288 Your Lover is Pregnant
"Tiger!"
"Brother Tiger!"
"Little Tiger!"
Even faster than Qin Suisui were the two little ones, Zanzan and Ada, who rushed forward first and grabbed Huzi in a hug.
It's been a year since I last saw him. Tiger, who will soon be ten years old, has grown a lot taller. I don't know if he's had a growth spurt, but he looks thinner than before.
Tiger stepped through the crowd, his eyes fixed on Qin Suisui.
Qin Suisui smiled at him and opened her arms: "Tiger, come here quickly."
Qin Suisui wondered if it was just her imagination, but after she finished speaking, Hu Zi's little shoulders seemed to relax a lot. But instead of running over, he carried his small bag of luggage and walked steadily towards Qin Suisui step by step.
Qin Suisui wanted to hug him, but Hu Zi slightly turned away from her embrace, saying somewhat embarrassedly, "Dirty."
So that's what bothered you.
Without a word, Qin Suisui pulled him close, hugged him tightly, and ruffled his long hair. She smiled and said, "It'll be fine after you wash it when we get home! Let's go get a haircut while the barbershop is still open!"
Grandma Mai wiped away her tears and nodded: "Yes! Yes! Let's get a haircut and start the new year right from the start!"
Pei Jiuyan drove them directly to the state-run barbershop in the city. Perhaps many people thought that getting a haircut on New Year's Eve would allow them to start the new year fresh, because the state-run barbershop was packed with people.
They waited in line for a long time before they got a turn.
To soothe Tiger's anxiety, Zanzan and Ada also got haircuts with him. The three little ones, sporting identical buzz cuts, ate roasted sweet potatoes that Qin Suisui had bought from the state-run restaurant, and couldn't help but giggle. The coldness and unfamiliarity of the past year melted away in that moment.
Qin Suisui originally wanted Hu Zi and the others to come to her home for the New Year's Eve dinner, but Grandma Mai disagreed. The older generation had their own beliefs, so she didn't force them. After dropping off Grandma Mai, Ada, and Hu Zi at the Guangmingding Brigade, the family drove home.
We're having our New Year's Eve dinner tonight. Chi Donglin is here this year too, so he came early to help out. Right now, he's in the kitchen making chicken soup.
Seeing the family return, he didn't come out, but just poked his big head out of the window: "How did it go? Did you bring the child back?"
Qin Suisui nodded: "They've been brought back. They got a haircut and went home with Grandma Mai."
Chi Donglin then noticed that his eldest son, Zanzan, had also cut his hair short. He reached out and touched the little guy's round head: "Hey, look at my son's big head, it's so round!"
He tried to rub it a few more times, but Zan Zan dodged away in disgust: "Dad! You haven't washed your hands! I just washed my hair!"
"Hey! You brat, you dare to look down on your dad?"
As he spoke, he reached out his claws again and scratched Zan Zan's head.
Zan Zan giggled and dodged away, and the two of them started chasing each other around the house.
In the late afternoon, Qin Suisui went to the entrance of the family compound and welcomed Palon and Paman back. Her master and senior brother were both alone, spending the New Year in the Snake Spirit Brigade in a lonely atmosphere. They had come here last year, and this year they came again at Qin Suisui's strong request.
The New Year's Eve dinner was very lavish, featuring dishes such as braised chicken with mushrooms, eight-treasure duck, braised fish with tofu, braised pork trotters with soybeans, steamed seafood, spicy crab, and boiled shrimp...
Of course, it wasn't Qin Suisui and her family who paid for the food. The pig's trotters, tofu, and fish were all bought by Chi Donglin, while the chicken and other wild vegetables were prepared and brought over by Paman in advance. The duck and seafood were taken out by Qin Suisui from her spatial storage.
Although Song Yunlai was absent this year, it was still a lively and extraordinary year.
No more "tragedies" like last year happened that night. The family ate dinner peacefully and stayed up late to welcome the New Year, enjoying a lively celebration.
During the New Year period, which is usually the coldest time on Qiongtan Island, Qin Suisui visited some neighbors in the family compound with Sister Tang a few days ago, but afterwards she simply stayed at home and refused to go out again.
Although Qiongtan Island is located in the south, it doesn't get cold very often throughout the year, and even at its coldest, it's not as cold as the north. But the humidity here is high, and when it gets cold, it's like a magical attack, making you shiver to the bone. Qin Suisui even doesn't want to leave her bed every day.
On the fourteenth day of the first lunar month, the sun was shining brightly, a rare occurrence. Qin Suisui carried a chair to the yard to bask in the sun, but because she was wrapped up too thickly, she didn't see the path clearly and tripped, almost falling.
Fortunately, Pei Jiuyan caught her with quick reflexes, but he never expected that even though he had caught her steadily, she would still faint.
Looking at Qin Suisui's pale face, a thousand terrible scenarios flashed through Pei Jiuyan's mind. He immediately picked her up and ran towards the hospital.
However, the results stunned him: his wife was pregnant!
"Doctor, what did you just say?"
I told you your wife is pregnant, almost two months along!
"No, I'm asking you why my wife fainted!"
"Didn't I just say? She's pregnant. She was probably startled when she fell and fainted from the shock!"
When will she wake up?
"I've said it three times already, you'll wake up soon!"
Qin Suisui was awakened by the doctor's frantic roar. She opened her eyes and looked at the ceiling in confusion. Why did this place look so much like a hospital? How did she end up in a hospital? Why was Pei Jiuyan arguing with someone?
When she turned her head again, she fell into Pei Jiuyan's worried eyes.
"Honey, how are you? Is there anything else that's bothering you?"
"Honey, are you feeling any better now?"
Seeing that his wife remained silent, Pei Jiuyan grabbed the doctor who had already reached the door: "Doctor, please take another look at my wife. Why isn't she speaking? Does she not recognize me? Can pregnancy cause amnesia?"
Not to mention the doctor, even Qin Suisui was almost amused by Pei Jiuyan's antics.
That's right. As soon as she woke up and realized she had been taken to the hospital, she checked her pulse and realized she was pregnant.
When she realized this, her first reaction was to be nervous, but when she heard Pei Jiuyan's words, she was both amused and exasperated. It seemed that Pei Jiuyan was even more nervous than she was.
"We can't let him lose face any longer," Qin Suisui said to the man still pestering the doctor at the door.
"Pei Jiuyan, come here right now!"
Hearing his wife finally speak, Pei Jiuyan forgot about nagging the doctor and strode to the bedside, grabbing Qin Suisui's hand: "Wife, I'm here. Don't be afraid. Are you feeling unwell anywhere? Are you still dizzy? Is there anything else...?"
It's too noisy.
Qin Suisui reached out her other hand and covered his mouth: "Okay, you can shut up now."
