It was just a pregnancy, and Qiu Yuling had already taken the time to do a high-tech pregnancy test. Everything was fine. Plus, there was nothing harmful to her diet, so she didn't have to eat anything, so she felt it was normal.
But Li Xingyao was so nervous that he wished he could turn into a human pendant and take his wife wherever she went.
I even thought about transferring to an administrative position.
After Qiu Yuling found out, she had a serious talk with him, "...I know you're worried about me and the kids, but you have to think clearly about whether this is a job you really like.
You can make a decision for yourself, for your future, for your ideals, or even for your comfort, but not for me.
Just as I cannot be content to be a vassal, you cannot be my appendage either. You must first be your own shining self, and then my lover."
Qiu Yuling's rationality shocked him, but also made him puzzled.
Theirs was a career-oriented family. When his parents were young, they had several arguments over who should give in to whom.
In his opinion, willingly making sacrifices for one's lover is itself a kind of sacrifice, but his wife clearly stated that she does not need such an expression of love.
Li Xingyao was depressed for many days.
Qiu Yuling no longer fooled him like before and let him think it through on his own.
Although she knew that Li Xingyao's love was the sinking of free will and falling in love in the true sense, she had already jumped into love with him and it was impossible for her to bear more consequences.
If time goes by and he asks her to make the same sacrifice because he is unwilling to live with her day and night, will she also hold her nose and play house with him?
It was Sun Tianxia, the attentive mother, who first discovered that something was wrong with the young couple.
He found a time and called Li Xingyao to come over to get the oil cakes, using the excuse that there was too much smoke in the bungalow and he didn't want his daughter-in-law to make a fuss. But in fact, he wanted to know why the two people who had always been in harmony had a disagreement.
Li Xingyao summed up everything in his mind before telling it all.
Sun Tianxia slapped her son without thinking, "You haven't thought it through as clearly as Yuling. This job is yours. How you change it depends on how you plan your future.
If you're tired, just admit it. Why act like this? Yuling is thinking long-term for you. She knows you don't really want to transfer, and she doesn't want you to harbor any regrets. If you end up unhappy later, she will be held responsible for your choice today."
Li Xingyao hurriedly defended himself, "I didn't mean that, Mom." His mother and wife both misunderstood him.
Sun Tianxia said she understood, "Of course you don't mean that now, but life is so short. You should be thankful to have found a wife who understands you and supports your career. You're already an adult, about to become a father, and you still talk about love every day. I think you're just living too peacefully..."
After receiving a lecture from his mother, Li Xingyao gathered his thoughts and went back to seriously seek Qiu Yuling's opinion. "If I continue to lead the exploration team on the mission, are you really okay with it?"
Qiu Yuling also knew when to quit, "You should take advantage of these few years to work hard for two years. Now you are only one step away from being a senior engineer. If you give up now, you will definitely feel regretful.
Let's work together to overcome this and try to stabilize yourself before your child can run. You're definitely better at teaching children than I am."
Li Xingyao's heart was filled with emotion. He gently embraced his wife and made up his mind that he must do a good job and not let his wife's expectations down.
When Qiu Yuling saw her husband, she didn't know what he was thinking about, and she worked even harder.
If I didn't have to distract myself to take care of her two meals, I would have wanted to stay in the study and laboratory forever.
It was an overreaction, but she didn't know how to turn it around. After thinking about it, she could only let it go.
When she saw her mother-in-law, she said, "Mom, I really didn't mean that. I don't know what he's thinking. He's been working so hard lately..."
Sun Tianxia knew what was going on, so she patted her daughter-in-law's hand and said, "Don't worry about him. He's an adult now, and he knows what he's doing. Is there anything you particularly want to eat? Just order..."
Qiu Yuling racked her brains and came up with a steamed bun with saxaul leaves. "Now that you mention it, I want to eat this."
Sun Tianxia laughed, "I thought you were taking it so seriously. It must be a rare dish, but this is it? Take a break, I'll let you enjoy it this afternoon."
Because her third sister-in-law had given birth to her second child and was in confinement, Qiu Yuling used the excuse of not telling anyone about it during the first three months and did not mention it in the letter.
Her mother-in-law sympathized with her daughter-in-law because her parents were not around like the eldest daughter-in-law, so she showed her special favoritism.
Whenever he had free time, he would run back and try various ways to improve her food.
Qiu Yuling refused several times, but people thought she was too sensible and became more and more concerned. Qiu Yuling could only give up and let her in-laws do what they wanted.
But her appetite has been so big over the years. Now she is suddenly being watched while taking supplements. Her mind is happy about it, but her appetite won't agree.
This is when the advantages of having a man around are reflected.
No matter what my mother-in-law feeds her, she can finish the food with the help of her family.
Seeing her eating happily, her mother-in-law worked even harder. Li Xingyao touched his slightly bulging belly, glanced at his wife, and finally found an opportunity to beg his mother, "...If you keep doing this, I won't dare to see my colleagues."
The youngest son's originally angular face was now showing some fat, and Sun Tianxia realized that most of the food she cooked went into her son's stomach.
He slapped her and said, "You bad boy, why are you competing with your wife and baby for food?"
But he listened to it and stopped making uncontrolled arrangements.
Li Xingyao went back to take credit, "I've already told Mom, if you want to eat something, tell me and I'll make it for you. Eat as much as you can, and I won't force you if you can't finish it."
Qiu Yuling looked at her still flat belly and nodded. "Thank you for your hard work, Mom. She's so busy at work, and I can't eat much. I really don't want her to suffer like this."
"Mom knows everything. She even said she felt sorry for you because you were so sensible. Before I left, she insisted on giving me some money and asked me to buy some supplements for you..."
Qiu Yuling didn't want to cause any more trouble, so she stretched out her hand and took the money. "I'll buy it myself. I can buy whatever I want to eat. You can't feel bad about it."
Li Xingyao was so happy that he didn't have time to feel bad. "It's all given to you. Just spend it. I can earn it. If it really doesn't work out, I'll ask our dad for more. He has money too." There was a hint of mischief in his eyes.
Qiu Yuling thought of her father-in-law's resentment that every time he worked hard to save some money, it would be taken away by her mother-in-law, so she laughed along and said, "You should be nicer to Dad."
"It's okay. Grandpa said that married men shouldn't have money. I'm doing this for family harmony!"
