Chapter 39 Famous for Pampering His Wife
Su Xu asked in disbelief, "What did you say?"
His ears were ringing, it felt like stars were popping out of his head, and his heart was pounding in his throat.
"I'm telling you, you're going to be a dad!" the doctor said, amused.
"I'm... pregnant?" Su Xu stammered.
Then he laughed; he was going to be a father!
But the joy on his face immediately disappeared, and he looked at Liu Nian with heartache, "You're already in so much pain so soon after you got pregnant, what are you going to do in the future?"
Liu Nian happily touched her belly, looking up with a smile, "It's okay! Everyone else has gone through this."
"Doctor," Su Xu solemnly pulled out a pen and paper from his backpack and asked, "My wife is pregnant. What should I do? What should I be careful about?"
The doctor sighed inwardly, "Why are all the good husbands someone else's?"
"Pay attention to nutrition, don't overexert yourself, and keep the pregnant woman in a good mood..."
Su Xu frowned and meticulously wrote down everything the doctor said. His expression was exceptionally serious, as if he were asking about some matter of national importance.
Looking at the man's serious back, Liu Nian suddenly felt a lump in her throat.
In their previous life, neither she nor Su Xu had a child, but in this life, they finally welcomed their own child.
It felt like everything had found its place.
On the way back, Su Xu wanted to carry her again, but Liu Nian insisted on walking by herself, saying, "The doctor said that walking around is good for your health, so don't be too nervous."
"Alright." Su Xu stared nervously at Liu Nian, his hands protectively behind Liu Nian's back.
She went to the bookstore and bought "Pregnancy Care Handbook," bags of nutritional supplements, fruits and vegetables, and even a large bag of wedding candy. Only then did Su Xu feel that was enough, and she returned to the village with a tractor full of things.
Upon entering General's Village, Su Xu handed out wedding candies to everyone he met, without explaining why, but his face was filled with undisguised joy.
Candy was a luxury these days. It wasn't like it was a holiday or a wedding, so why would anyone give out candy?
Later people found out that Liu Nian was pregnant!
"Liu Nian is already pregnant, why haven't you made a move yet?" Wang Xiuzhi sneered, then her expression suddenly changed. "Even if you are pregnant, it doesn't necessarily mean you'll be with the Su family!"
"You—" Liu Xiangxiang choked on her words, so angry she could hardly breathe.
She was initially confident that she would get pregnant first, but the result was a slap in the face.
Now that Su Hang doesn't touch her anymore, how can she still have her own child? Liu Xiangxiang felt a tightness in her chest whenever she thought about this.
Liu Xiangxiang had developed a rash on her hands for the past few days, and she didn't know why. It was itchy and painful, but she didn't pay much attention to it. She was busy with her embroidery, and she had to hand in her assignment tomorrow.
A group of women who did embroidery at the village committee office all sighed and envied Liu Nian when they talked about her.
"Just because she's pregnant, Su Xu is making such a big deal out of it?" Liu Xiangxiang said sourly. "If you didn't know better, you'd think his wife was carrying a golden egg!"
"Didn't you see the whole carload of stuff Su Xu bought? He really spoils his wife!"
"Tch, he used to say he wasn't good enough, but his wife got pregnant in just one month! He's pretty capable!"
These days, which woman doesn't get pregnant? Why are you so nervous? When they're pregnant, they do whatever they need to do—work in the fields, cook, take care of their in-laws—they do everything they need to.
Looking at Liu Nian, they felt a pang of envy, never knowing that a woman could be so pampered.
When it comes to spoiling one's wife, Su Xu is second to none, because he's famous for it.
At home, Su Xu didn't want Liu Nian to get off the kang (a heated brick bed). Whenever Liu Nian frowned, Su Xu would quickly offer her water and food.
Now she studies recipes every day, trying to find the best way to supplement Liu Nian's nutrition.
"Ah Xu, you've spoiled me so much I'm practically useless." Liu Nian lay lazily on the kang (a heated brick bed) and yawned.
Su Xu was cooking, and he would glance back at her every now and then, feeling at ease whenever he saw her.
"Sweetie, eat more later." Su Xu said, "I'll cook all three meals for you from now on."
Because of pregnancy symptoms, Liu Nian didn't have a good appetite, so Su Xu tried his best to get her to eat more.
Liu Nian raised an eyebrow, suddenly wanting to tease Su Xu.
"Then you wear bunny ears and dance for me, and I'll eat obediently!"
She held her head high arrogantly, looking completely unreasonable.
Su Xu closed his eyes, gritted his teeth, and said, "Okay!"
He was willing to go to any lengths to get his wife to eat a few more bites!
After blowing on a small spoonful of rice to cool it down, Su Xu carefully placed it to Liu Nian's lips.
"I'll eat by myself." Liu Nian looked at Su Xu expectantly. "Master, dance for me to liven things up!"
A burly man, over six feet tall, wearing rabbit ears, blushed and stiffly wiggled his hips for Liu Nian, in a particularly alluring way...
Liu Nian laughed so hard she was shaking, "Ah Xu, you're so cute!"
Seeing Liu Nian's smiling face, Su Xu smiled too. The doctor said that a pregnant woman's mood is the most important thing.
"Then eat more since I've gone to so much trouble to make you happy." Su Xu filled Liu Nian's bowl to the brim and picked it up. "Shall I feed you?"
"Huh?" Liu Nian said with a long face, "I'll eat it myself."
Watching Liu Nian struggle to swallow each bite, Su Xu felt heartbroken. "We only need one child. We won't have any more in the future."
He doesn't even want this child anymore. Why bother having a child when he's tormenting Liu Nian like this?
Liu Nian forced herself to eat a bowl of rice, then winked at Su Xu and said, "You'll be coming out with me later."
"Where are you going so late at night?" Su Xu frowned, but seeing Liu Nian's pouting lips, he could only nod, "Okay."
They went out, pushed their bicycles, and soon returned home.
Just as they arrived home, they saw a fiery red glow on the distant horizon. Villagers rushed out, shouting, "Oh no! Fire!"
