Chapter 160 Pregnancy Stress

When everyone in the family learned that Xiao Qingru wanted to be a teacher in the future, they supported her.

It is said that women can hold up half the house. There are not many educated people, and they should not be trapped at home doing laundry, cooking and taking care of children.

Isn't that a waste of intellectuals?

Xu's mother assured him, "We can't help you with work, but you don't have to worry about taking care of the children."

Xiao Qingru smiled and said, "Xu Muzhou said that I am responsible for taking care of the child."

"That's okay. They say we're separated by another generation. I'm also worried that I'll spoil the child, so I'll let him take care of it himself, and we'll be there to help him."

"That's what I said, but we have no experience, so I'm sure you'll have to keep an eye on us when the time comes."

"Experience is something you gain slowly. Xiaozhou is my only son, so I have to continue to explore how to raise a child."

Xu's mother thought that her son would be in a better mental state if he had something to do while taking care of the baby at home.

Besides, there is always a difference between a child raised by his own parents and a child raised by his grandparents.

Since the two children have already discussed it, Xu's mother thinks she just needs to follow their arrangements.

After more than half a month, Xiao Qingru received the book sent from Northwest China and began to make preparations.

When Song Yuan learned of her plan, she spent a whole month writing a complete set of lesson plans and gave them to Xiao Qingru.

There is a lot of teaching experience in it, and the key points and difficulties are clearly marked.

Xiao Qingru was deeply touched by this kindness.

With everyone supporting her so much, it would be unreasonable for her not to work hard.

At this time, Xiao Qingru's belly was already very big, and Xu Muzhou was shocked every time he saw it.

Especially when he remembered what his mother-in-law had said, that if the child was too big, it would be very painful during delivery, Xu Muzhou became extremely anxious.

I wish the child could come out right now.

Xiao Qingru was reading a book, and Xu Muzhou was sitting beside her watching her.

"Have you finished your workout today?"

"It's over."

Since the beginning of spring, Xu Muzhou has been in much better condition than during the Chinese New Year.

Although he still hasn't gotten rid of his crutches, he can walk much more smoothly now.

I estimate that in another year or so, I will be able to completely get rid of crutches.

He touched Xiao Qingru's belly and asked, "Wife, is your belly too big?"

"It's okay. It's already over seven months old. It's normal to be a little bigger."

Xu Muzhou pursed his lips and asked cautiously, "Does your stomach hurt?"

Xiao Qingru couldn't help laughing, "It doesn't hurt. Don't let your imagination run wild and scare yourself."

"I don't want to, but I can't control it."

"You are just idle. Find something else to do so you won't think so much."

Xu Muzhou watched with his own eyes as Xiao Qingru's belly grew bigger and bigger, like a blown-up balloon, and now it was even rounder, making her look a little clumsy.

In this situation, there is no intention to do anything else.

He placed his hand on Xiao Qingru's belly for a long while, "Why isn't your baby kicking today? Is he still not awake?"

"Maybe. He kicked me just now. It was a very hard kick. He looks like a naughty and troublesome devil."

Xu Muzhou bit his tongue and warned the baby in his belly, "Don't kick mommy."

Xiao Qingru frowned, "Are you sick? You have to tell me if the baby moves, and you also have to tell me if the baby doesn't move."

Xu Muzhou: "..."

She said aggrievedly: "I just want the child to behave better."

"I was just staying still and moving my body occasionally, why did I become disobedient?"

As if responding to its mother's words, the baby in her belly moved and kicked Xu Muzhou's palm.

"Wife, did it hurt when my son kicked you?"

"It doesn't hurt."

"Then let the cub move again."

Xiao Qingru randomly rubbed Xu Muzhou's short hair and said, "Don't make a fuss. Go wherever you feel comfortable."

After carefully feeling the fetal movement for a while, Xu Muzhou's eyes and eyebrows showed a smile.

He glanced at the time and said, "Wife, you've been sitting for over an hour. Get up and move around."

Xiao Qingru was very absorbed in reading. She felt that she had not read for long, but more than an hour had passed.

Xu Muzhou stood up and helped her.

Xiao Qingru's belly is now very big. She is afraid of being bumped into when she goes out, so her activities are limited to the home.

Unless accompanied by Xu's mother, he can only walk around the house.

After walking around the yard, I saw Xu's mother coming back from outside with a roasted duck in her hand.

As he walked toward the kitchen, he said, "Your dad has received his salary. He will treat us to roast duck and make us some pancakes so we can eat them with our food."

Xiao Qingru looked at Xu Muzhou with a questioning look in her eyes.

The man touched her head and said, "Last night when you were going to bed, you said you wanted to eat roast duck."

The pregnant woman was so preoccupied with thoughts that Xiao Qingru had forgotten about it.

"During this period, our food and drink expenses are all paid for by our parents. Suddenly I feel like we are just living off them."

Xu Muzhou smiled and said, "As long as we are doing well, our parents will be happy."

"From now on, you can let me take your monthly allowance, and I will arrange the food and drink expenses at home."

"OK."

Although the family had savings, Xu Muzhou felt bad that his parents had to raise them two children.

After my wife gave birth to a child, she became more refined in her eating and drinking habits.

It is your responsibility to support your wife and children, and giving the subsidy to your mother is the best option.

At first, Xu's mother was reluctant to take their money.

The two children have no income now, and raising them requires a lot of money, so saving money is the right thing to do.

Later, seeing that they were very persistent, I had no choice but to accept it.

I thought to myself that I would return it to you when I have the chance.

After entering the late pregnancy, everyone is looking forward to the birth of the baby, and time seems to be passing very slowly.

Xiao Qingru was fine, she ate when she was supposed to and slept when she was supposed to.

Xu Muzhou was different. He always thought about things that were meaningful or not.

Afraid that the baby would be born with missing arms and legs, or have other facial defects.

I'm also afraid that something might happen when my wife gives birth.

What you think about during the day, you dream about at night.

Xu Muzhou woke up from his dreams several times in a sweat.

The later the disease progresses, the more obvious the "symptoms" become.

Xiao Qingru was a little nervous at first, but seeing Xu Muzhou like this, she felt that it was completely unnecessary.

All the pressure during pregnancy was put on Xu Muzhou, so much so that she almost fainted when she started that thing.

Xu's father and mother hurriedly sent Xiao Qingru to the hospital.

Xu Muzhou was able to go out now, and he went to the hospital to find them, carrying the birthing supplies he had prepared in advance.

My legs were almost healed, but they started to feel weak again when I walked on the road.

I felt anxious and irritable.

I don’t know what the situation is with my wife.

The unknown is the most frightening thing.

Xu Muzhou thought that if it happened again, he might even lose his life.

Giving birth is not that quick. When Xu Muzhou rushed to the hospital, Xiao Qingru had not yet entered the delivery room.

The first thing a man says when he opens his mouth is, "Wife, we will never have any more children."

Xiao Qingru: “…”

The baby hasn't even been born yet, what nonsense is this person talking about?
