Gu Qingqing chuckled. She had come to her senses now. She sat next to Chu Dai and ate the shrimp he peeled for her. She looked at Chen Jiefang teasingly, "Brother Jiefang is not bad. In your words, Yu Cheng is just a company commander."
Chu Dai also glanced at him, peeling the braised shrimp in his hand slowly, "You are not a high-ranking official, but you have such a big mouth."
"I'm just angry because my sister was bullied." Chen Jiefang wanted to shake his head subconsciously, but stopped because his hands were greasy. He took another piece of chive egg pancake and looked at the silent Shen Sui, "But our brother's personality..."
Hearing this, Chu Dai and Gu Qingqing looked at him at the same time, their eyes were chilly.
Chen Jiefang quickly changed his tone: "Very good, very good."
They enjoyed the meal very much. Gu Qingqing was afraid that Shen Sui would feel restrained because of the crowd, so she kept putting food into his bowl. Chu Dai looked at her and felt a little uncomfortable.
Then he sneered, wondering why he had to argue with a kid.
Zhao Ze didn't miss a thing, he chuckled and said, "It turns out our Battalion Commander Chu is jealous. What a rare thing."
Chen Jiefang also laughed, but he didn't say anything in response because he was afraid that Chu Dai would kick him.
Xu Nian poked Gu Qingqing's arm, covered his mouth with his hands and smiled, indicating that she should look at Chu Dai's expression.
Gu Qingqing turned around blankly, met the man's half-smiley eyes, and was stunned for a moment. She turned back to look at the high pile of dishes in Shen Sui's bowl, and held back her smile as she wrapped some sour diced radish in a leek cake and passed it to him.
"You don't like sour food, so I made it specially for you."
"Yes, yes, yes," Zhao Ze said meaningfully, "He just likes sour food."
Gu Qingqing smiled and was about to eat the shrimps that the man had peeled in her bowl when suddenly a thin, white wrist came out of nowhere and took her bowl away.
She was dumbfounded, and looked along her arm, thinking that the man was angry. She was about to say something when she heard him say to Zhao Ze, "Doctor, take your sister's pulse."
Thinking of last night's suspicion, she glanced at the thin profile of the man next to her and shut up instantly.
Zhao Ze was stunned for a moment, muttering: "I told you not to follow those kids and yell like that, or the whole camp will be like that. The girl is alive and well, Yu Ruan didn't beat her up enough to make her pulse clear..."
Xu Nian was smart, raised his hand and patted him, and gently reminded him: "Check to see if it's pregnancy pulse."
Zhao Ze was a military doctor who was half Chinese and half Western, and was more proficient in Chinese medicine. Hearing this, he came to his senses, quickly stood up, walked to Gu Qingqing and squatted down, "Sister, put your hands out and put them on the table."
Gu Qingqing's mind was a little confused, but she was more expectant and a little afraid of being disappointed. She slowly stretched out her arm and rolled up her sleeves, revealing a not-so-white arm.
Chu Dai's hands rested consciously on the back of her chair, and the couple looked at Zhao Ze with burning eyes.
This time, Doctor Zhao felt even more pressured. Facing five pairs of shining eyes, he gritted his teeth and placed his fingers on her right pulse.
Zhao Ze carefully examined it, his eyes lit up and he was unconsciously happy, "Girl, stretch out your hand too."
Gu Qingqing turned her head and glanced at Chu Dai, and the man nodded slightly to let her rest assured.
The woman did as she was told and held out her left hand.
He didn't say anything for a long time. Chen Jiefang couldn't help rubbing his face, which was greasy. He was anxious: "Come on, you are going to make us anxious to death. This is not good, Doctor Zhao. You have a strong desire for revenge."
Zhao Ze shook his head helplessly, "Am I that kind of person? I was just unsure just now, so I tried a little too hard."
"The left pulse is as steady and strong as the right one, and the pulses are beating at about the same speed. It's a happy pulse, and—"
"And what?!" Chen Jiefang stood up suddenly, "Hurry up and tell me! I have to tell my brothers that they are going to be uncles."
Shen Sui also pursed his lips and stared at him motionlessly.
Gu Qingqing's body softened and she leaned towards the man sitting in the chair next to her. The moment she heard the confirmation, her mind went blank, and then she was filled with ecstasy. She couldn't help but touch her lower abdomen with her right hand.
Being a mother...it's so unreal.
It was not until the man's warm big palm covered the back of her hand and she came back to her senses at the burning touch, then she looked up and smiled brightly at the man.
Chu Dai lowered his head and kissed the ends of her hair. His heart was filled with excitement and he even felt a little overwhelmed. However, he felt more love and pity for the woman in front of him.
Xu Nian saw the interaction between the two and was really happy for her.
"And what?" Chen Jiefang said anxiously, "What's wrong with you, Doctor Zhao, for talking in a tangent?"
"And it's twins." Zhao Ze stood up with a smile and sat back in the chair. "Sister Qingqing has been pregnant for one and a half months. Old Chu, you should pay more attention to her. If you don't understand something, come and ask me. I have experience." He picked up another crab leg for his wife.
This time, the usually calm Chu Dai could no longer remain calm. He lowered his eyes to look at the woman in his arms and said in disbelief, "Twins?"
Zhao Ze had never seen him lose his composure like this before. He admired it for a while and planned to share it with the brothers from the Corps later: "Yes, twins. Didn't I tell you a long time ago that the probability of sister Qingqing having twins is very high. She has this gene in her family."
Xu Nian is a little jealous of her now. It would be perfect if she had a son and a daughter.
However, Zhao Ze gloated: "The pulse is strong and powerful, I guess they are two naughty boys." He was just talking nonsense, deliberately trying to give Chu Dai a headache.
He was not yet able to tell the gender of the baby; that was something only experienced Chinese medicine practitioners with many years of experience could do. However, when he saw Instructor Jiang so worried about his three sons at home, he couldn't help but want to see Chu Dai's expression.
After all, Instructor Jiang often nags Chu Dai: "Have fewer sons and enjoy more happiness!"
Chen Jiefang couldn't stand his annoying tone and shouted, "Two sons are perfect. One goes to the Construction Corps and the other goes to the Southern Military Region. The other can stay on the island!"
Zhao Ze laughed out loud, "You are a bachelor without a wife, you really want to make trouble. Your nephew hasn't even been born yet, and you've already assigned him a position."
"You really think you are the top leader of the military region. Why don't you just let the entire army obey your orders?"
"Hey, Doctor Zhao, do you want to practice..."
Seeing that the two were about to start fighting, Chu Dai smiled, and was reluctant to take back his hand that was covering the woman's belly.
"We can support any number of sons." His eyes were gentle as they fell on the woman's round face. His voice became hoarse, "It's just that my wife is wronged."
Gu Qingqing's originally restless heart was completely at peace. She snuggled in the man's arms and said, "It's not unfair. I am willing."
Chen Jiefang and Zhao Ze looked away, too lazy to watch the young couple eating, and continued to eat.
Xu Nian looked at the crab legs in the bowl and smiled gently.
Only Shen Sui stared at Gu Qingqing's stomach with his dark eyes without blinking, and only continued to eat after a long time.
Gu Qingqing did not miss his reaction and bumped the man behind her with her arm.
Chu Dai let go of his hand, glanced at the gloomy boy, turned around and sat up straight, planning to have a good chat with Shen Sui later.
After dinner, Chu Dai and Zhao Ze went to wash the dishes together, Chen Jiefang wiped the table, and Shen Sui swept the floor.
Xu Nian pulled Gu Qingqing aside and said enviously, "I never thought you would be pregnant this time. But it will be very hard when the pregnancy is advanced. You don't have to cook when the time comes. Just let Ah Sui go to the cafeteria to get food."
"I know." Gu Qingqing didn't know why Xu Nian and Bai Tao always kept their hands on their stomachs before, but now she realized that they were subconsciously protecting the child.
Thinking of the two babies in her belly, her eyes softened: "Sister Anian, if I have any questions, I will come to you."
"Of course, there is one thing you have to pay attention to." Xu Nian glanced at the men in the kitchen and whispered in her ear, "You and Captain Chu are both young and energetic, so it's inevitable that you can't help yourself. You must be careful in the first three months and don't have sex. What's more, you are pregnant with twins, so you have to be even more careful."
Gu Qingqing's ears were burning with anger after hearing this, but luckily Xu Nian was her good sister and they were not much different in age. If it was Mrs. Zhou and the others who said the same thing, she would feel so ashamed.
The woman said solemnly, "I'll remember that I won't let Chu Dai touch me."
Seeing her serious expression, Xu Nian was stunned for a moment, and suddenly felt a little sympathy for Captain Chu.
She also knew how hard her man had to endure during her pregnancy, and now this pair of brothers in distress were really...
She couldn't help but snicker.
Soon, the men came out after washing the dishes. Chen Jiefang left first, and Chu Dai asked him to take half a day off for him.
When someone who had never asked for leave suddenly asked for leave, Chen Jiefang and Zhao Ze looked at each other and couldn't help but joked, "Being a father is different."
Zhao Ze patted his shoulder and comforted him: "If you are jealous, then find a wife as soon as possible. If Yu Ruan is not an option, you can also find one. It's a good time to find a wife while no one leaves the island..."
"Get lost!" Chen Jiefang said decisively, "Leave her to your son as his daughter-in-law."
Zhao Ze grinned: "Then Yu Cheng must use me as a target."
"Yes, aren't you afraid that I will beat you into a sieve?"
Zhao Ze laughed loudly and said to Chu Dai, "We are leaving now. You can stay at home with your wife."
Chu Dai nodded, "Don't dawdle."
Chen Jiefang walked out of the yard cursing, and Zhao Ze also took his wife home and took a bowl of pickled radishes with him.
Gu Qingqing was held in the man's arms from behind. She looked up at his slightly stubbled chin and raised her hand to touch it.
"Brother, Ah Sui's place..."
"I'll go and tell them." The man put his hand on her belly, not daring to use too much force, just lightly touching it. "I'll go to the camp this afternoon to send a telegram to my father, mother, and my elder and second brothers."
Gu Qingqing was stunned, knowing that he wanted to tell his family the good news: "The supply ship will be here in a few days, you can write a letter."
"I can't wait." The man lowered his head slightly, resting his chin on her head: "Qingqing, thank you."
Thank you for being my wife, thank you for making me a father, thank you for accompanying me to the island without hesitation and giving me a home.
Gu Qingqing couldn't help laughing out loud, "Then don't forget to send a telegram to Dad, congratulating him on becoming a grandfather. Dad will definitely be very happy!"
"Yeah." The man's empty heart had long been filled. He felt warm in his heart and his eyes were filled with the tender woman in his arms.
