"I...I'm just a little scared." Zhang Qinghua also held Song Lili's hand.
I never felt afraid before, but now I am a little scared.
After all, Lili is already thirty years old, not young anymore, and considered an older pregnant woman.
Therefore, we must be even more careful this time than before.
Fortunately, Song Lili was unaware of Zhang Qinghua's idea, otherwise it would have definitely caused an uproar.
Then, he yelled at Zhang Qinghua, "Where am I old? Why do I need to be a flower?"
"A woman is like a flower at thirty-one, in full bloom. How can you say she's about to wither?"
Many women in later generations get married and have children in their thirties, so why is it considered "old" when it comes to Zhang Qinghua?
Fortunately, fortunately, Song Lili knew nothing about any of this.
The couple waited for several hours before finally receiving the results.
"Is Song Lili here?" someone shouted loudly from the window.
"Yes, yes." Zhang Qinghua quickly stood up and went over.
"These are your test results." The nurse handed Song Lili's test results to Zhang Qinghua.
"Thank you," Zhang Qinghua said, then took the prescription to the doctor.
"Congratulations, your wife is pregnant, almost two months along," the doctor said to the couple with a smile.
"real?"
"Very good"
The couple were very happy. After thanking the doctor, they left the hospital with smiles on their faces.
"Lili, thank you." Zhang Qinghua said to Song Lili with some emotion.
"Then you'd better treat me better from now on," Song Lili said to Zhang Qinghua, her eyes wide.
"Okay," Zhang Qinghua said with a smile, taking Song Lili's hand as they walked back together.
"The leader will be very happy to hear this news," Zhang Qinghua said.
āIām very happy too.ā
This news made the Zhang family very happy, and Zhang Shengtian was the happiest of all.
Chinese people believe that having many children brings many blessings, and at this time, having many children means having more labor force, so many people are happy to see their families have many children and be prosperous.
Zhang Shengtian also held this view, and it was deeply ingrained in him, so of course it sounded good.
The children were also happy; they were overjoyed when they heard that they were going to have a younger brother or sister.
Zhang Qingguo and his wife were also happy, but amidst their joy, Lin Xue felt a little uneasy.
Feeling a mix of bittersweet emotions, I unconsciously touched my stomach.
My sister-in-law already has three children, but I'm still just a child myself.
It's been so many years, how come I still can't get pregnant with my second child?
Lin Xue felt anxious once again.
Last time, Song Lili persuaded her to get better, but this time, with Song Lili pregnant, Lin Xue has her eye on her again.
But everyone in the family was happy right now because they were going to have a new member, so Lin Xue couldn't show her bad mood.
However, her smile was somewhat stiff and unnatural, as if it were forced.
The more I try to laugh, the less I can laugh.
However, in their excitement, no one noticed Lin Xue's emotions, nor did Song Lili.
From that day on, Song Lili began her pregnancy and rest.
Zhang Qinghua stopped letting her go to the store; he handled everything himself.
If it weren't for the importance of attending classes, Zhang Qinghua would have preferred Song Lili to stay home and not go out.
Song Lili's daily life consisted of eating and sleeping, sleeping and eating.
In just one month, Song Lili gained weight; her face became chubby, and even her arms became thicker.
She no longer thinks about going out as much as before; instead, she can calm down and sit peacefully at home.
She spends her days reading, cooking, playing with her children, and talking with her family. This peaceful and ordinary life brings her a sense of tranquility.
And so, Song Lili spent the New Year.
That year, because Song Lili was heavily pregnant, the Zhang family did not return to Hongqi Village for the Spring Festival; they only made a phone call to their relatives.
The family spent their first New Year in their own house in the capital.
After the New Year, Song Lili's belly grew even bigger, and she was in her last three months of pregnancy.
She has difficulty walking, moves slowly, and needs someone to accompany her.
Zhang Qinghua readily agreed, and whenever he had time, he would always stay by Song Lili's side.
Talk to her, chat with her. Or read to her. Either is fine.
Zhang Qinghua only recently learned that women can experience mood swings and even depression during pregnancy.
Therefore, he had to stay with Lili and make sure she was well and not upset.
Therefore, during Song Lili's pregnancy, Zhang Qinghua was almost inseparable from her.
After the New Year, Song Lili seemed to have gained weight, which made her have to walk around and exercise every day.
I'm afraid that if I don't exercise, I'll become overnourished and the baby will be too big to give birth to.
Back in Hongqi Village, she wasn't afraid, since there weren't many good things to eat. Even if she cooked delicious food every day, she wouldn't gain much weight.
Back then, there wasn't much good food; being able to fill your stomach was already a blessing.
Now, we have plenty of money at home, and we can eat whatever we want, and everything we eat is nutritionally balanced and good for pregnant women.
Zhang Qing learned all of this from the doctor.
Therefore, Song Lili dared not be careless this time. Since she couldn't control her mouth, she could only move her legs more.
As a result, a couple appeared at the entrance of the alley every day: a woman with a large pregnant belly and a cautious husband by her side.
When school started, Song Lili looked down and could no longer see her feet. Her legs were swollen and she couldn't wear her shoes at all.
She always wore Zhang Qinghua's shoes when she walked.
After discussing it, the family decided not to let Song Lili go to class anymore, but only to register her for the course and then stay at home to prepare for childbirth.
At home, Zhang Shengtian stopped going to the shop. He was worried about Song Lili's safety being alone at home, so he stayed home to take care of the child.
Lin Xue had already prepared everything Song Lili would need for childbirth, and packed it all in a bundle so she could leave immediately.
This time, Song Lili went to the hospital to give birth, so everyone felt more at ease.
As the due date drew closer, everyone in the family, except for the children, was on tenterhooks, ready at any moment for Song Lili to give birth.
Song Lili was relatively calm, after all, she had already given birth to two children and had experience.
Zhang Qinghua was quite nervous. The more he knew, the more nervous he became, and he lost his usual composure.
As the due date drew closer, Zhang Qinghua became increasingly anxious. Eventually, she stopped going to school altogether and stayed home, inseparable from Song Lili.
Although Song Lili was touched, she also felt annoyed having someone looking after her every day.
Moreover, she couldn't control her temper and would often vent it on Zhang Qinghua.
Zhang Qinghua: I'm not angry; I smile at you every day.
