Chapter 119 Eavesdropping
He Yan looked at her sleeping face and couldn't get enough of it.
Although he knew that he had a lot of things to do tomorrow, his brain was extremely excited and he could not fall asleep until the second half of the night.
The next morning, He Yan woke up earlier than usual for morning exercises and was in the kitchen kneading dough and rolling out dough sheets.
He still remembered what Jiang Yingying said before going to bed last night, saying that she wanted to eat white flour dumplings.
If his wife wants to eat, he will cook for her.
In addition to dumplings, He Yan also made handmade noodles. He was so busy that he didn't go out for morning exercise that morning.
He made himself a few pot stickers, put them in the lunch box, went into the room, looked at Jiang Yingying who was sleeping soundly, and kissed her on the forehead.
He Yan saw the black dog sleeping by the door and patted its head helplessly.
After doing these actions, He Yan put his lunch box in his pocket, climbed over the wall and went to work.
As soon as he arrived at the office today, He Yan put down his lunch box and made a phone call to Beijing City.
I don’t know whether his father, Commander He, is still at home at this time.
Fortunately, He Jingqi was at home, but he had a bad cold and was forced to rest at home by Lin Guifang and others.
Even when resting at home, Comrade He Jingqi would get up early and sit on the sofa on the first floor to read the newspaper.
When the phone rang, he was one step faster than Aunt Qin and picked up the receiver.
"Hello? Who is this?"
"Dad, it's me." He Yan was a little surprised, "You're home, why does the voice sound a little wrong?"
He Jingqi felt his throat a little itchy and couldn't help coughing a few times.
"Ahem, ahem!"
"Are you sick?" He Yan asked with concern.
He Jingqi said stubbornly: "What disease? I'm not sick. I just caught a cold because of the cold weather. I will be fine tomorrow!"
Lin Guifang came out of the room and looked at He Jingqi.
"Who's calling? Your throat isn't fully recovered yet, so pay attention. Can't you speak properly? Why do you have to yell?"
This man is getting more and more unruly as he gets older. He even refuses to take medicine when he is sick.
In order to help him recover sooner, Lin Guifang took leave and came to work late these days. She stayed at home and watched him take his medicine before going to work at the hospital.
He Jingqi snorted coldly with a hint of grievance. If he had known this, he would not have answered his call.
"It's my old son's phone call."
When she heard that it was He Yan calling, Lin Guifang hurried forward, pushed He Jingqi aside, and took the phone from him.
"Xiaobei, how are you and Yingying doing lately?"
Lin Guifang said, "Your Aunt Qin and I sent you a package yesterday. It should arrive before the New Year. Remember to pick it up from the mailroom when the time comes."
"Oh, yeah, how's Yingying doing lately? I saw a really nice coat at the supply and marketing cooperative a few days ago, but I was a little slow and someone else snatched it away."
"In a couple of days, your Aunt Qin and I will go check to see if the supply and marketing cooperative has any stock."
"Oh, right, no, Xiaobei, why don't you say anything?" Lin Guifang asked, "Is there something you want to talk about?"
"Is there not enough money? Or is there something wrong with Yingying? Let me tell you..."
He Yan was holding the receiver in the office, and the words coming from the other end of the phone line made his head buzz.
Comrade Lin Guifang also complained that he talked little. It was not that he talked little and could not speak, but that he had no chance to speak at all.
"Mom, Yingying is pregnant."
Finally, He Yan found an opportunity and spoke quickly.
As soon as he finished speaking, the phone fell silent. Outside the corridor, there were two thuds, and Wei Guoping and Yu Zhengyi fell down with their teeth grimacing.
"What!"
Lin Guifang's high-pitched voice came from the receiver. Even though He Yan had the foresight to hold the phone a little further away, he could still hear Comrade Lin Guifang's excited voice.
He Jingqi and Qin Xin were both startled by Lin Guifang's shout.
When Lin Guifang shouted this, He Jingqi was drinking water. The shout shook the water in the cup and a lot of water spilled out.
Qin Xin ran out of the kitchen holding a spatula in her hand, "Sister, what's wrong? What happened?"
Lin Guifang was so excited that her lips were shaking. She pointed at the phone with shaking hands and asked excitedly, "Xiaobei, what did you just say? Is Yingying pregnant? How is she? How long has it been? Is she feeling unwell?"
What!
Yingying is pregnant! ! !
At this point, He Jingqi could no longer remain calm. He put the enamel cup on the table. He no longer had the heart to care about the wet parts of his body.
Qin Xin's face was also full of excitement. She waved the spatula in her hand vigorously. She said hello secretly for fear of disturbing Lin Guifang and the others on the phone.
Lin Guifang was surrounded by He Jingqi and Qin Xin on the left and right. They both wanted to hear the first-hand information that He Yan said on the phone.
He Yan still looked calm on the surface. In fact, this was the calmness he gained from being excited all night and getting up early in the morning to make breakfast for several hours.
"It's been two months. Yingying went to the hospital for a checkup yesterday, and the doctor said the baby is healthy." He Yan said, "By the way, Yingying is pregnant with twins."
thump!
Wei Guoping and Yu Zhengyi, who were eavesdropping outside, fell down again. This was mainly because Yu Zhengyi, a bachelor, could not stand this kind of stimulation, and Wei Guoping was also implicated by him.
"Twins!"
On the other end of the phone, three old comrades from Beijing City almost fainted with excitement.
Lin Guifang calmed her excited mood and said, "Xiaobei, it's difficult for women to get pregnant, not to mention that Yingying is pregnant with twins. You have to take good care of her."
"The first three months are the most important. Remember, do the housework on your own initiative. Don't let Yingying do any work. Pregnancy is tiring already. It's a twin body, and you can't work too much. Taking a walk is fine, but don't do anything else."
Lin Guifang's heart was filled with both joy and sorrow.
The good news is that her youngest son has a wife and children now, and is no longer alone.
To be honest, over the years, as He Yan got older, Lin Guifang and He Jingqi became very worried. They were really afraid that he would end up living alone.
Think about how other people have wives, children and warm homes, but he is all alone. As a parent, how can we bear to see such scenes happen?
But this kid just refused to get married, saying that he wanted to dedicate his life to his great motherland. As for female comrades, they were dispensable.
Therefore, when they heard him say that he had a girl he liked and had successfully pursued her, Lin Guifang and He Jingqi were so excited.
Now, this child has not only gotten married and become the man of the family, but is also about to upgrade his status and become a father.
What worries them is that they are two young people, it’s their first pregnancy, they have no experience, and their elders are not around.
Fortunately, Jiang Yingying's sister-in-law Xu Zhishu seems to be a reliable person.
Lin Guifang kept reminding him on the phone, and it seemed that she had told him all the details she could think of.
