After marriage, Dai Shiliang was extremely gentle with Wang Hong, but he was particularly persistent when it came to matters of the heart. His reason was, "I'm the only one left in our Dai family. If I don't work harder at my age, I'm afraid I won't be able to have children!"
After getting married, Wang Hong developed dark circles under her eyes and often felt weak. Fortunately, her job wasn't tiring. Dai Shiliang kept urging Wang Hong to quit her job, but work was her only motivation. She got angry about it several times, but in the end, Dai Shiliang gave up. Wang Hong still humbled herself and apologized for a long time.
However, it should be said that Dai Shiliang was a very good husband during this period, and he made Wang Hong experience all the love and favoritism.
The happy days came too suddenly, making Wang Hong feel like she was dreaming, not real at all. It also gave her the illusion that they were supposed to be a loving couple, without any barriers or Qi Zhifang.
A month and a half later, just after getting off work, Wang Hong saw that Dai Shiliang had prepared a table full of food. After taking a bite of fish, Wang Hong felt nauseous. Dai Shiliang smiled with relief and asked, "What's wrong?"
Wang Hong shook her head. "I don't know what's wrong with me lately. I feel nauseous from time to time, and I have no energy..." She paused for a moment, then exclaimed in surprise, "Am I pregnant?"
Dai Shiliang hugged her and kissed her gently, saying, "We'll find out tomorrow when we go to the hospital." After dinner, the two lay in bed, and Wang Hong quietly nestled in his arms, asking, "Do you hope it's a boy or a girl in your belly?"
"Anything is fine, I'll love any child you give birth to!" "What name do you think we should choose?"
"I need to think about this carefully, I'll tell you later! Go to sleep!" "I'm so excited I can't sleep!"
The two of them dreamed about the future until almost dawn. Wang Hong, still half asleep, went to the factory to ask for leave. The two of them went straight to the hospital, and sure enough, Wang Hong was pregnant. Overjoyed, Wang Hong cried tears of joy and, ignoring the stares of others, hugged Dai Shiliang tightly. The two of them drove Wang Hong back to work and promised to pick her up after get off work.
When Wang Hong got into the car after get off work, she could tell that Dai Shiliang was in a bad mood. For some reason, she felt uneasy and asked cautiously, "What's wrong?"
Dai Shiliang smiled and said, "Something came up in Guangdong. I should have gone earlier, but we got married a little late. And now you're pregnant. How could I leave you alone at home..."
Hearing him say that, Wang Hong felt relieved. "You can go, I can take care of myself!"
Dai Shiliang gave Wang Hong a deep look, thought for a moment, and said, "Are you sure you don't want me to stay? Can you manage on your own?!"
Wang Hongjiao glared at him cautiously. "Why not? Every pregnant woman goes through this process. In the countryside, there are even women who work in the fields until they give birth! If you want to go, then go."
"Okay, thank you for understanding me! Here's what I'll do: I'll ask my old neighbor, Aunt Liu, to come and help take care of you. I'll go there and come back in two months at most."
Wang Hong nodded and said, "Okay! Go ahead! Actually, I can do it myself!"
"That won't do! My child needs to be pampered! If you don't listen to me, I'd rather not earn this money!" "Okay, okay, I'll listen to you! Honestly, I'm not a child anymore!"
The two talked for a while, and Wang Hong packed her luggage herself. That night, they lingered together for a long time. Before dawn, Dai Shiliang kissed Wang Hong's hair and said, "I'm leaving. Take good care of yourself!" Wang Hong nodded. Dai Shiliang placed a bankbook by the bed, picked up his luggage, and left without looking back.
When Wang Hong woke up and found a handwritten password on her bankbook with a thousand yuan on it, she felt a sweet joy. "Really, how much money could I possibly spend on my own? So much money!"
Li Qiuxiang finally made plans with Zhao Aiguo and Liu Man to eat at Donglaishun. She arrived early, only to find Zhao Aiguo with a chubby, fair-skinned young man. His soft, plump appearance reminded her of glutinous rice balls, freshly cooked!
Can someone like that be a doctor? It's nothing like what she imagined. And look at her appearance... well, at first glance she looks prosperous, and then she looks like someone who brings peace and prosperity to the country, but she's not exactly beautiful. She's just pleasing to the eye!
As soon as he entered, Zhao Aiguo introduced, "Sister Qiuxiang is a glorious and very brave police officer!"
Liu Man greeted Qiu Xiang with a soft, gentle voice typical of women from Jiangnan.
Li Qiuxiang quickly said, "Okay, okay! Please sit down!" Zhao Aiguo said with a smile, "This is my Liu Man, my fiancée. We'll get married after she graduates from university!"
Li Qiuxiang nodded, "Great, they're a match made in heaven! They should get along well!" Liu Man, because her mother had mentioned it to her, has started to bind her stomach and is now paying attention to her appearance.
So they stopped indulging in such lavish meals and instead chatted about all sorts of things. Li Qiuxiang began to look at Liu Man with new respect. The young woman was quiet and gentle, with a good temper, yet she was also very knowledgeable and worldly-wise. Chatting with such an interesting and cultured person instantly elevated the atmosphere of the meal.
Just as they were chatting happily, Yang Xiaofu came in with a young man. He walked straight up to them, and Li Qiuxiang nudged Zhao Aiguo, whose eyes were glued to the meat! Zhao Aiguo took a bite before following Li Qiuxiang's gaze and asking, "What's up?" He looked over and laughed, "Oh my! Fudunzi! Is this your friend?"
Yang Xiaofu glared at Zhao Aiguo and said smugly, "Our station director's son works in the Finance Bureau. This is my childhood friend, Zhao Xiaofei! He works in the Organization Department."
Zhao Aiguo wiped his mouth with a tissue, stood up, shook hands with Yang Xiaofu's boyfriend, and said, "Hello, this is my fiancée, Liu Man, a student at the medical university."
After shaking hands and exchanging a few polite words, Yang Xiaofu turned around and said with dissatisfaction, "Do you want to compete with me to see who gets married first?"
