"Get up."
Do you need my help?
"No need, I can manage on my own."
When Sun Kaicheng returned, his wife had already gotten up and sat down at the dining table. He didn't dare to go near her; he went to wash up first before coming back. It was hot, and he would sweat a lot if he moved around. His wife couldn't stand the smell, so he had to be careful.
"Is that settled?"
"Well, Uncle San is home right now. I asked him to go and tell him that San Dan is back. He said San Dan shouldn't rush back today, and he'll go back with San Dan tomorrow since he's off work."
San Dan nodded: "That's fine too. I'll go to the hospital with you guys in a bit." He was quite nervous. Apart from the time his older sister injured her head, he had never seen her look weak.
“That works too. You can run errands for me then,” Sun Kaicheng said. He knew that his brother-in-law’s injury would be much better by the time he woke up today, and besides, the injury on his shoulder wouldn’t prevent him from walking.
Qian Xiao was really hungry. She drank a whole bowl of soy milk and ate six fried dough sticks. These fried dough sticks were quite big, almost as long as her forearm.
Seeing that his wife was eating well, Kai Cheng felt half relieved. No matter what, as long as she could eat, it wasn't too serious.
The three of them quickly tidied up and went out. Sun Kaicheng insisted on pushing the bicycle with his wife, and Qian Xiao, who didn't like walking and didn't want to get all sweaty, didn't object and just got on.
The county town wasn't very big, and their place wasn't far from the hospital; it only took about ten minutes to get there. Sun Kaicheng accompanied Qian Xiao, while Sandan helped with registering and other things.
Seeing San Dan queuing up, Qian Xiao asked directly, "How badly are you injured?"
Sun Kaicheng knew his wife couldn't have missed it: "It's not a big problem, there won't be any aftereffects, she's using the medicine I gave her."
"That's good." She had heard Shuangdan mention those medicines before, and they were much more effective than the current ones.
"Since this kid isn't leaving today, go back and cook all that meat. Have Uncle Three and Uncle Two come over for dinner tonight."
"Okay, but my second uncle has gone out on a trip and said he won't be back until the day after tomorrow."
Qian Xiao nodded to indicate that she understood. Although they worked in the same factory, they couldn't see each other every day. The two of them brought their own lunch almost every day and rarely went to the front or the canteen.
My second and third uncles are always out driving, and they even work in different directions. Sometimes we don't see each other for ten days or half a month.
High school has resumed classes, but my second and third aunts still didn't come with us. First, they were worried about the elderly being alone at home. Second, the commune was much safer than the county town, and they were afraid that coming here would cause trouble. It was better for them to stay at home.
Two large men standing and a woman sitting were staring wide-eyed at the doctor in the white coat, their expressions almost identically blank and adorable, almost making the female doctor in the white coat laugh.
"Is it really that hard to believe?"
The three dumbfounded people nodded together, like puppets being controlled. It was Sun Kaicheng who came to his senses first, looking at Qian Xiao's belly with a surprised expression.
"Honey, did I hear that right? I'm going to be a dad?" He was neither sad nor happy at the moment, just very surprised, as if he hadn't quite come to his senses yet.
Qian Xiao also came to her senses and said that she seemed to have forgotten something. It had been almost two months since she last had her period. She had been quite busy this month and had gone on two business trips, almost forgetting about it.
"Yes, right!" The tone was quite uncertain. Who would have thought that this would suddenly happen? The two of them had been using contraception.
Suddenly, their eyes lit up as they looked at each other. They remembered that once, after returning from a business trip, they had a few drinks and, in their hazy state, they hadn't used contraception. Who would have thought that this one oversight would lead to them being promoted to a higher generation?
Qian Xiao felt it was amazing. She touched her belly, which was still flat, yet a little life was growing inside, calling her "Mommy" in a babyish voice. She didn't seem to reject this very subtle feeling.
Sun Kaicheng hadn't thought about becoming a father right now; he was planning to wait a couple of years. But then he thought about the dream he had last night, and how everything seemed to make sense. He thought about the chubby baby tugging at his wife's clothes, calling "Mama" in a babyish voice, and suddenly his mood became strangely wonderful.
It seems pretty good.
Qian Zhiping looked at the doctor, then at his older sister, then at his brother-in-law, his head bobbing so much he almost got dizzy. Good heavens, what a coincidence! He had just returned home when his eldest nephew showed up. Was this because of his uncle?
Why am I suddenly feeling so proud? If Si Dan knew this, he'd be green with envy!
I've seen many doctors, but this is the first time I've seen a couple who seem so silly. However, they are both good-looking, so their child will definitely be adorable. It's not so bad if the child is a little silly.
"I'm almost two months pregnant. It's normal to gag occasionally when I smell something off. Just be careful to avoid smelling it. Drowsiness is also normal. Are there any other symptoms?"
Qian Xiao shook her head: "No, I've been eating well and sleeping a lot." Oh my god! That's great, it's not a terminal illness after all. She had already thought about how she would comfort Sun Kaicheng if it were a terminal illness.
"Then you're lucky. Some people suffer even more from vomiting after eating."
Sun Kaicheng quickly asked, "Are there any dietary requirements for pregnant women?"
"Just eat more nutritious foods, and avoid foods that promote blood circulation or have cooling properties."
"Could you explain it to me in detail? Neither of our parents are here, and I don't understand these things."
The doctor opened the drawer and took out a small booklet, which was clearly handwritten: "This is all my own summary. You can take it home and take a look. Just bring it back to me after your wife gives birth."
"Okay, thank you. I'll copy it down and bring it back to you when I get back."
The three of them walked home with smiles on their faces, feeling as if the road under their feet was covered with soft foam.
This is beauty that comes to mind only after you've realized it!
Sun Kaicheng carefully helped Qian Xiao sit down: "Wife, let's not go today. How about I cook you something delicious to celebrate?"
"Okay, go to the supply and marketing cooperative and see what they have today, so we can cook a few more dishes."
That day, Sun Kaicheng and Qian Zhiping doted on Qian Xiao, treating her like royalty. Qian Xiao seemed to enjoy it.
No wonder everyone says that a woman's ten months of pregnancy are like those of a queen; she certainly wouldn't refuse such a good thing.
When Qian Sanbao, who came over for dinner that evening, heard the news, he was overjoyed. These two kids had no idea how awful the villagers' opinions were. His mother and wife had gotten into countless fights just because those people said Erdan couldn't have children.
