Seeing how serious she was, Chu Yi put down his chopsticks and asked, "What's the good news?"
"Husband, I'm pregnant. I've been taking your pulse for more than a month."
Chu Yi didn't dare to breathe when he heard that, "Pregnant?!"
He hurried over, held her on his lap, and looked down at her belly.
"Really?..." The man was so happy that he could hardly contain himself and even his voice trembled.
Shen Shuyi glared at him and punched his hard chest with her little fist, "Nonsense, aren't you all done? Is my pregnancy abnormal?"
"Normal, normal!" Chu Yi thought, he worked hard every day and now he finally reaped the rewards!
"Ma'am, let me touch your belly."
The man's dry, warm big hand gently stroked her belly through her clothes.
Shen Shuyi smiled and said, "It's been a month and I'm still not pregnant."
"It's amazing. I'm going to be a father." Chu Yi's hoarse and low voice sounded in her ears, "Shuyi, we have a child."
"Yes, yes, my husband is going to be a father."
"Ma'am, are you feeling unwell?"
"No, I just feel like sleeping and want to eat something sour."
Chu Yi then asked, "Do you want to go to the county town to see a doctor?"
Shen Shuyi nodded. Although there were no gynecological experts in this era, she could just go to the county town to sell the sugar and buy some New Year goods, as the New Year was coming soon.
After returning with a full load, Shen Shuyi looked at the smirking man in the mule cart. She nudged him with her elbow and said, "Keep it down."
"My dear, I'm just so happy." Chu Yi held her hand and kissed the back of her hand again and again.
Chen Shuyi was speechless to him and went back to her parents' home with bags of New Year's goods.
Zhuang Mei and Shen Liang were very happy to see their daughter and son-in-law come back. They stewed chicken, steamed fish, and served fragrantly fried pumpkin seeds and sunflower seeds for the family to chat and eat.
Shushan and Shulan also returned home from school to prepare for the New Year. The two guys have changed a lot. The little one has become steady and responsible, and they are always eager to do the housework and never worry their parents.
Shen Shuyi took advantage of the family sitting together for dinner to tell the news of her pregnancy.
"Mom and Dad, I'm pregnant."
"Oh, this is really great!" Zhuang Mei couldn't help but burst into tears. When she thought of the gossips outside who always said that her son-in-law would not have an heir, she wanted to tear their mouths apart.
Shushan and Shulan asked excitedly in unison, "Eldest sister, do I have a little nephew?!"
Shen Shuyi patted their arms and said, “Yes, you have to enlighten your little nephew in the future.”
"Then I must study hard!" Shushan and Shulan looked expectant.
After returning from her parents' home, that night, Shen Shuyi fell into Chu Yi's broad arms, feeling the warm breath, she relaxed her body and pressed her face against the man's throbbing chest.
"Your heart is beating like a drum. How can I sleep?"
Chu Yi moved away a little, but whispered in her ear, "Wife, I'm going to be a father..."
Shen Shuyi held his face, “Okay, I’m going to sleep, it’s not good for pregnant women to stay up late.”
Chu Yi immediately distanced himself from her, tucked her in, and went to sleep quietly.
In fact, he kept his eyes closed almost until dawn, unable to control his inner excitement.
Since learning that his wife was pregnant, Chu Yi became "dictatorial". Not to mention taking care of the vegetable garden and the medicine shop, he wouldn't let her do housework at home. He wouldn't let her do bending over like washing dishes or sweeping the floor.
Chu Yi took care of everything and just held his wife's shoulders and let her bask in the sun in the yard and eat dried fruits.
Shen Shuyi felt fine. She took the pills produced by the system to stop morning sickness. During her pregnancy, everything she ate tasted delicious and she slept well. She was also cared for by her family and husband and was in a good mood. She had a very happy winter.
Chu Yi was preparing black chicken in the yard. After stewing it for a while, he looked up and saw his wife, who was wearing a goose yellow jacket and sitting in a recliner, looking drowsy.
Her rosy little face was particularly beautiful in the sunlight, and her moist lips reminded Chu Yi of the wonderful feeling they had when they were intimate last time.
The more he thought about it, the tighter his body became. Chu Yi quickly left Yanmi. The doctor said he couldn't move around for three months...
After the chicken soup was stewed, Chu Yi washed his hands, went to the yard, and carried the sleeping person back to the house heated by charcoal fire to sleep, so that he could have dinner when he woke up.
Shen Shuyi was half asleep and half awake, and he heard the voice of the system speaking in a daze.
[Host, you have slept for two hours, let’s get up and have some fun! ]
"66, I'm a pregnant woman. It's not good to disturb a pregnant woman's rest." Shen Shuyi said with a smile, rubbed his eyes and sat up. He felt a little hungry, so he got up to find something to eat.
[Host, do you want to read some gossip? ]
Shen Shuyi yawned, put on his clothes, and went to the kitchen to see if dinner was ready, "What gossip?"
The system turned into a little white cat and followed Shen Shuyi to the kitchen. Chu Yi saw his beloved wife coming in with her belly in her hand, “Shuyi, are you awake because you’re hungry?”
"I'm a little hungry, is there anything I can eat?"
"The chicken soup is ready. I'll serve you a bowl. The dumplings from lunch are still warm. The food will be ready soon. Eat some first to fill your stomach."
Shen Shuyi carried the little white cat to the warm room. She drank a sip of the skimmed chicken soup, "66, you haven't told me what the gossip is."
She took out a can of dried fish from the cabinet beside her and placed the fragrant dried fish on the plate in front of the little white cat.
66 said while eating dried fish.
[Didn’t I tell you last time that Chen Mengzheng, who went to the provincial capital to take the provincial examination, failed? Now that such a large family lives together, every day is like a war. Chen Mengzheng had to hide in the study, and meals were delivered to him. ]
Shen Shuyi picked up the dumplings and ate them. "It's what he deserves. In his last life, he was so successful that he failed to pass the provincial examination in this life. It's really retribution."
"How is the relationship between Fan Xiurong and Chen Mengzheng now?" She caught the adulterer at the very beginning and tied the scumbag and the bitch together early on, which ruined the rhythm of the previous life. If they can still have a happy ending like this, then she will really look at them with new eyes.
[Chen Mengzheng went to the provincial capital to take the imperial examination, leaving Fan Xiurong at home to take care of the old and the young. Fan Xiurong was very unhappy, but she did not completely break up with them. She just did some face-saving work and coaxed the two stupid children well. But when she learned that Chen Mengzheng failed the exam, her true colors were exposed. She had no patience for her two children, and ignored her evil mother-in-law's nagging. After having a big fight with Chen Mengzheng, she packed up her bags and went back to her parents' home! ]
Chen Mengzheng has never cooked a meal. When he was young, he was raised by his mother. Later, when he married, it was his wife who took care of everything. Now that his second wife has left, he is at a loss.
Failing an entrance exam was a huge blow to him. He was often distracted while studying, and coupled with the family chores, Chen Mengzheng felt a splitting headache.
At this time, he thought of Shen Shuyi again.
If only Chen Shuyi was in the Chen family, she would be famous for her hard work and take good care of her mother and two children. He could study with peace of mind and would not have failed the provincial examination!
Chen Mengzheng didn't know what he was thinking about, he immediately dropped the book and went home to find his two children.
