After the dishes were served, Lin's mother and Lin Xiuqin also took their seats.
The octagonal table can only seat eight people, so the two uncles and their wives did not sit at the table, but ate at the side with their bowls in hand.
After three rounds of drinks, Chen Wang and Lin Xiuqin exchanged glances.
"Dad, Mom, Grandpa and Grandma, I came here today because I have something happy to tell you."
Chen Wang spoke with a smile.
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone in the Lin family showed doubt on their faces.
"What's the good news?"
Mother Lin looked at her daughter with curiosity. Seeing her daughter's pretty face slightly blushing and a look of shyness and joy between her brows, an idea suddenly emerged in her mind.
The thought made her so excited that her hands holding the chopsticks began to tremble.
"Xiuqin is pregnant."
Chen Wang confessed the news directly.
After a brief silence in the room, everyone in the Lin family showed surprise on their faces.
"Really? That's great. Why didn't you tell me about this happy event earlier?"
Father Lin said with a smile on his face.
"Isn't this a surprise for you?"
Chen Wang smiled and said.
Father Lin nodded repeatedly with a smile and said, "It's a surprise, a huge surprise, haha..."
"When did it happen?"
Mother Lin suppressed her excitement and asked.
"Last time when we came here on a tractor, she was carsick and vomited all the time, so I started to suspect something. After we got back, I went to the health center and asked the doctor to check her pulse. That’s when I knew she was pregnant. She should be almost two months pregnant now."
Chen Wang replied with a smile.
"Okay, great."
Mother Lin nodded and applauded with a smile on her face.
The last time the two came over, she and her two daughters-in-law quietly told her daughter about this in the kitchen.
She was worried that now that Awang was no longer stupid, and was capable and handsome, and that her daughter had not conceived a child in two years after her marriage, Awang would become involved in an affair.
Now that she heard her daughter was pregnant and was two months pregnant, she no longer worried about anything.
"Awang, congratulations! It's such a happy event. You can't leave today!"
My brother-in-law raised his glass and said with a smile.
"Thanks."
Chen Wang raised his glass and clinked it with his.
"Awang, congratulations."
Lin Guodong also raised his glass with a smile.
"Thanks, Dad. Come, let's have a drink together."
Chen Wang looked at Lin's father and said.
"Okay, it's time to drink one, let's do it together, everyone."
Father Lin shouted with a smile on his face.
Everyone raised their glasses and drank together.
This sudden happy event made the atmosphere at the dinner table more lively.
Not far away, a few children who were sitting on small stools eating also started discussing curiously.
"Mom, my aunt is pregnant. Is it a boy or a girl?"
Lin Zhiming looked up at his mother and asked.
The eldest uncle-in-law held the bowl and glared at him angrily, "How should I know? Eat your meal, why do you worry about this, kid!"
“You don’t know until you are born.”
My sister-in-law said with a smile.
"I hope it's a sister."
Lin Yuqing spoke.
"younger sister."
Niu Niu shouted while holding the spoon.
"I hope it's a brother."
Chen Xiaoyu said with a smile.
"You are also the child's aunt, or rather, nephew."
My sister-in-law corrected me with a smile.
"Nephew?"
Chen Xiaoyu repeated a sentence and nodded, "Yes, I remember it."
Hearing the conversation between the children over there, Father Lin asked with a smile: "Awang, what about you, do you prefer a son or a daughter?"
For a moment, everyone's attention was focused on Chen Wang.
"Actually, I don't care. I like both my son and my daughter."
Chen Wang replied with a chuckle.
"If you ask me, it's unnecessary to discuss this. What's wrong with having a boy? Why not have a son? It would be best if they were twins, a boy and a girl. So you can have both a son and a daughter at once."
Lin Guoqiang joked with a smile.
"Hey, little brother-in-law, just based on what you said, I have to toast you."
Chen Wang raised his glass to toast, and said with a smile: "If what you said is right, I will treat you to a good meal."
"That's a deal, I'll be waiting for your wine, haha..."
My brother-in-law laughed heartily and raised his glass to clink wine with him.
They both drank it in one gulp.
Lin Xiuqin blushed shyly and tugged at Chen Wang's sleeve.
"Okay, okay, I won't say any more."
Chen Wang smiled and put some vegetables into her bowl.
"Awang, Xiuqin is pregnant now. You have to take better care of her."
Mother Lin instructed with a gentle smile.
She knew her little daughter's character best. She was not worried that she would throw a tantrum because of pregnancy. She was only worried that she would be uncomfortable or something, and she kept it in her heart.
Chen Wang smiled and nodded, "Mom, you can rest assured. Apart from going into the mountains to hunt, I will be at home with Xiuqin the rest of the time, and Xiaoyu will be here too."
"Yes, auntie, I will take good care of my sister-in-law."
The little girl echoed loudly.
"well."
Mother Lin nodded repeatedly with a smile on her face, and then said, "When Xiuqin is about to give birth, I will go over to help you take care of the baby and take care of Xiuqin after she has finished her confinement."
"Okay, I'll leave it to you then."
Chen Wang didn't hesitate and agreed with a smile.
Although he was a father for the first time, he also knew that giving birth was a huge hurdle in a woman's life, including the fact that she needed a lot of care both physically and mentally after giving birth.
There is also a newborn baby, which is also very troublesome to take care of.
Now that my parents are gone and there are no confinement centers these days, it would be the best if my mother-in-law is willing to help.
"Come on, come on, drink some wine."
Father Lin raised his glass and shouted.
After the meal, Chen Wang really couldn't hold on any longer. His face turned red from drinking and he felt a little dizzy.
The daughter-in-law moved a chair, asked him to sit down at the door to get some fresh air, and poured him a cup of hangover tea.
Chen Wang held a teacup and drank tea while watching four children playing hopscotch, also known as hopscotch.
To put it simply, draw a few squares of different sizes on the ground, take turns to play, and hop on one foot to kick the tiles according to the rules.
"Awang!"
My brother-in-law came over and patted him on the shoulder.
Chen Wang looked up at him.
"How do you feel? Do you want to go get some sleep?"
"It's okay. Just sit here and drink some tea and enjoy the fresh air. It will be fine in a while."
Chen Wang smiled and declined.
"All right!"
Lin Guoqiang nodded, looked at the children playing hopscotch over there, and said with emotion: "Look at them, how happy they are to be carefree!"
"Qingqing is in school, right?"
Chen Wang took a sip of tea and asked with a smile.
"Of course, I'm in the third grade now. Today is Saturday, so school is closed."
Lin Guoqiang replied with a smile, and then asked, "What's the matter? Are you going to send Xiaoyu to school?"
"Let her play for another half a year, then we'll talk about it in September."
"How old is she?"
"My birthday is in March this year, so I'm almost 6 years old."
"Then there's no need to rush."
After the two chatted for a while, Lin's mother found a set of mahjong from somewhere and called him to come in and play mahjong.
