Chapter 205 asks him what the point is.
Zhiqi stuffed the money in his hand into Jiang Ning's hand and said in a clear voice, "Mom, this is money I saved for my younger brother and sister."
He had this idea when his parents said he would have a younger brother or sister.
Shen Mo realized what was happening and ruffled his hair. "You little rascal, if you take the money back, why would you need to pay me back?"
Huo Zhiqi suddenly pouted and said, "Dad, you're not allowed to rub my head anymore. If I don't grow tall, it won't be good for me to hug my younger siblings."
Shen Mo: "..."
"Small in stature but big in ability," Jiang Ning said, reaching out to pat his head.
Huo Zhiqi tilted his head back so she could touch him, "Mom, I may be small, but I can still take care of my younger siblings."
Amidst laughter, Shen Mo finally processed the fact, and an uncontrollable smile spread across his face, radiating joy and happiness.
After regaining his composure from his excitement, Shen Mo immediately wanted to take Jiang Ning to the hospital for a check-up.
Jiang Ning pulled him back, laughing, and said, "Have you forgotten that your wife is also a doctor? The baby is perfectly fine, don't worry."
Shen Mo slapped his forehead; how could he have forgotten about this?
“I’m hungry, I’m hungry,” Jiang Ning said, pointing to her stomach.
Shen Mo quickly pushed away the fish soup that Jiang Ning found disgusting, and then served her some food.
If he saw that his wife could eat more of a certain dish, he would put more on her plate.
Even though Jiang Ning told him not to be too nervous, he was still on edge.
When Jiang Ning told him about the exam tomorrow, Shen Mo's mind went blank again. He was so excited that he had completely forgotten about it.
He knew that Jiang Ning had her own plans, and this matter was part of her plan.
Despite his worries, he never asked Jiang Ning to change her plans.
Jiang Ning's exam lasted three days, and Shen Mo was so nervous that he asked Commander Liang for a month's leave.
Having served in the army for ten years, he rarely took leave. When Brigade Commander Liang learned that Jiang Ning was pregnant, he readily approved Shen Mo's leave.
He also specifically instructed Shen Mo to take good care of Jiang Ning.
Jiang Ning is now a hot commodity, even among Brigade Commander Liang and the General Military Hospital.

Jiang Ning enrolled in the pharmacy program at Capital Medical University for self-study, which included basic courses as well as pharmacology exams.
The knowledge points of that era differed greatly from those of today, but fortunately she had read a lot of books about that era beforehand.
Even with some outdated knowledge, there are better methods.
During the three-day exam period, Shen Mo applied to Brigade Commander Liang for permission to use the car, and he drove Jiang Ning to the exam venue every day for those three days.
When Jiang Ning came out after finishing her exams on the last day, she saw Shen's mother and father rushing over.
Shen's mother and father were at home celebrating Jiang Ning's exam results when they received a call from Shen Mo, so they rushed over immediately.
Upon arriving, Shen's mother launched into a tirade against Shen Mo, her voice trembling noticeably, "You brat, how many days has Ningning been pregnant before you told me and your father!"
After scolding her, Chen's mother calmed down and immediately asked, "Has Ningning had any adverse reactions, such as nausea, vomiting, body aches, or fainting?"
Shen Mo was taken aback for a moment, then asked somewhat nervously, "Will you still suddenly faint?"
"If that child is a troublemaker, Ningning's current state is not good," said Chen's mother.
At this point, Chen's mother got angry again, "You should at least have notified me and your father in advance, so that we could have arrived earlier to prevent any emergencies."
Mr. Shen quickly reassured her, "My daughter-in-law is taking an exam. Even if we came early, we wouldn't be able to get in. Don't worry, if something really happened to her, this boy would have told us already."
After Mr. Shen finished speaking, Mrs. Shen was finally comforted.
Shen Mo was about to explain when he suddenly remembered something and looked towards the exam exit.
"young married woman!"
Before Shen Mo could even get there, his mother intercepted him.
Mother Shen quickly went over to help Jiang Ning down the last step, and hurriedly asked, "Ningning, are you feeling unwell anywhere? Are you dizzy? Is your body weak?"
Jiang Ning knew that what she was asking about were all symptoms of pregnancy. Seeing that her mother was too anxious, she quickly reassured her, "Mom, don't worry, I don't have those uncomfortable symptoms."
After saying that, she added, "Mom, have you forgotten that I'm a doctor myself? I can take care of my own body."
Mother Shen finally breathed a sigh of relief, holding Jiang Ning's hand tightly. "It seems this child cares about you and won't cause you any trouble. If you feel unwell in the future, just tell this brat, or you can call me. Or I can simply live with you and take care of you."
Mr. Shen continued to reassure his wife, "Alright, child, everything's alright. Don't be too nervous."
With someone pulling her aside, Shen's mother finally calmed down from the news of Jiang Ning's pregnancy.
This is her first grandchild, how could she not be excited!
She was too excited just now, and now she realizes that the younger generation doesn't really like living with their elders. She used to not like living with her elders either, but back then there were always some gossips.
She didn't want to use her status as an elder to control the children.
She can stay with the children if they want, and she won't force them if they don't.
Mother Shen put the matter aside for now and said, "Alright, let's go home first. Ziming and Qianqian should have finished cooking at home. Ningning also finished her exams today. Our family is celebrating two happy occasions."
As Shen's mother led Jiang Ning away, she gave Shen's father a meaningful look.
Shen's mother and Jiang Ning walked ahead, while Shen's father grabbed Shen Mo, who was about to follow.
“Your mother wants to take care of your daughter-in-law. She asked me to ask you and your daughter-in-law what they think. Of course, your opinion is not important. The main thing is to listen to your daughter-in-law. If your daughter-in-law is not willing, she will not go.”
They've known each other for decades, so they have that much in common.
Shen Mo chuckled and said, "Dad, Ningning won't be unwilling."
He could tell his wife's attitude towards his parents. His wife disliked the old man in the family, but she never refused whenever his parents asked them to come home for dinner.
"You don't get to decide. You have to ask my daughter-in-law," Mr. Shen said sternly.
Shen Mo, “…”
What is the point of asking him that?
