135 New Life
The young woman who had just gone to the bathroom kept staring at Zhou Zhenghua.
I just happened to see his sad and unwilling expression.
Her intuition told her that this was not right. This was not the expression a groom about to get married should have.
Following Zhou Zhenghua's gaze, the woman saw Gao Qinghe's back and remembered that this was the woman who had just sent her to the bathroom.
If it weren't for Sister Guihua saying that this was the neighbor next door, she would have thought that this fashionable and elegant woman was a relative of the Zhou family who had studied abroad.
The Ouyang family was already very dissatisfied with Zhou Zhenghua's family.
However, I had never personally experienced Shanghe Village before, and I had some illusions about this village with good geographical conditions.
But when I entered the village this morning, I realized how naive I was.
Of the Zhou family, only Zhou Zhenghua seemed pleasing to the eye. As for the others...
Zhou Er's wife was in confinement after giving birth, and Zhou Er's brother was taking care of the child, so neither of them showed up.
Brother Zhou and his sister-in-law Guihua were so busy running around, taking care of everyone, that they forgot about the existence of the relatives who were there to send them off for the wedding.
After sending the bride into the bridal chamber, Mrs. Zhong immediately locked the door, saying it was a rule and custom.
The Ouyang family had never seen anyone separate the two main characters in a wedding and lock up the bride to prevent her from seeing guests.
But I thought it was nothing excessive to adapt to local customs, so I didn't say anything.
Later, villagers and Zhou's relatives came and grabbed them, touching and looking at them, like they were looking at monkeys in a zoo.
A rhinestone brooch belonging to Ouyang Yan's cousin was stolen by someone in the chaos.
In the end, Mrs. Zhong just said: "If I had known this thing was valuable, why would I have brought it out? Now there are so many people here, and I don't know who took it. I don't even know where to look for it!"
My cousin got angry and questioned the Zhou relatives, but they didn't care what she said at all. They just kept talking in their own dialect and laughing, treating her as a joke.
If Zhou Zhenghua had not appeared in time and offered a sincere apology and compensation, my cousin would have wanted to knock open the door of the bridal chamber and take everyone away on the spot.
In short, it is torture for the Ouyang family to stay in the Zhou family for one more minute.
The Zhou family was completely unaware of this and instead felt complacent, thinking, "You came here on your own accord."
The impression was already bad, and when they noticed Zhou Zhenghua's subtle emotional changes, the people in the Ouyang family were really worried about Ouyang Yan.
But thinking back to how everyone tried to persuade this girl who was deeply in love but failed, I felt heartbroken and helpless.
"Forget it, she chose her own path, let her go on her own." My cousin said in a low voice.
The young woman looked at the lock on the bridal chamber. She thought it was such a ridiculous thing that it had been completely eliminated in the last century.
I didn’t expect to see it again at Zhou’s house.
The wedding banquet officially begins.
Judging from the sixteen dishes, both meat and vegetables, the Zhong family has invested a lot of money this time. They are determined to take advantage of their youngest son's wedding to show off in the village.
Maybe she was flattered a lot today, including leaders from the town and county, so when she saw Gao Qinghe appear at the table, they all looked very friendly.
“This! This!”
Huang Yanqiu patted the empty seat next to her and waved Gao Qinghe to come and sit with her.
Gao Qinghe sat over with a smile, and when he saw Zheng Laowu beside Huang Yanqiu, he raised his eyebrows slightly.
Looking up, I saw the other brothers and sisters-in-law of the Zheng family sitting alone at another table.
Gao Qinghe glanced at Huang Yanqiu. Split up the family?
The dish was served, Zheng Laowu stood up to take it, a plate of steamed pork with rice flour.
After hesitating for a moment, he put it somewhere close to Huang Yanqiu. She loves to eat meat.
Huang Yanqiu didn't even look at Zheng Laowu, but just shook her head at Gao Qinghe and did not split the family.
She hesitantly looked down at her belly, and Gao Qinghe looked over at her with a puzzled expression.
You want to go to the toilet too?
Huang Yanqiu gave her a cold look and said, "No!"
She placed her palms against her belly again.
Gao Qinghe was still puzzled. What if he got fat?
etc!
Speaking of being fat, it’s only been half a month since I last saw Huang Yanqiu, and why does she look like she’s gained weight?
Has the Zheng family's conditions improved?
Or did Huang Yanqiu use her own money to supplement her meals?
If it was the latter, Gao Qinghe had nothing to say. Huang Yanqiu could spend her own money however she wanted. It wouldn't cost much on food and drink anyway.
I used to eat very poorly, but now that I have the financial means, I really should eat more.
The only thing that made Gao Qinghe unhappy was that Zheng Laowu's family got a good deal.
However, judging from the position where Zheng Laowu was sitting today, the couple should not be too stupid and will not suffer any big loss.
Huang Yanqiu looked at Gao Qinghe expectantly, thinking she understood.
In the end, she just pinched her cheek and said, "You need to eat more and eat better. It's just that you're gaining weight too quickly. You must have a physique that's prone to obesity. You still need a balanced diet."
For example, for this steamed pork with rice flour, you can only eat two pieces at most.
Huang Yanqiu's face twitched violently, and she felt that Gao Qinghe was really irritating.
He simply grabbed her hand, pressed it against his belly, and said, "I'm pregnant."
"So what?!"
Suddenly realizing that she was pregnant and not some other thing, Gao Qinghe stood up and stared down at Huang Yanqiu.
All the villagers at the table looked at her.
Huang Yanqiu was afraid of being embarrassed, so she quickly pulled her down and made her sit down again, lowering her head and nodding twice.
Gao Qinghe was stunned for three full seconds before he regained his composure, having lost his mind due to shock.
"How many months has it been? When did you find out?"
Zheng Laowu said cheerfully, "Four months."
Huang Yanqiu glared at him and said, "You have no right to speak here!"
Zheng Laowu shrank his neck and didn't dare to speak again. He served the dishes obediently and put all the food that Huang Yanqiu liked in front of her.
The villagers said he was biased, but he didn't feel embarrassed and kept smiling apologetically.
He couldn't hide his joy at becoming a father soon.
"Four months..." Gao Qinghe calculated the time and found that the day she was infected was the day before she took Huang Yanqiu away.
No wonder she hadn't seen Huang Yanqiu have her period in those three months. At that time, she thought she was suffering from long-term malnutrition and irregular menstruation.
The two met eyes, Huang Yanqiu touched her belly and said with a firm look:
"I have a feeling that this is a girl, and I want her to live the best life possible, go to college, get a job, and marry the person she loves in the future."
"Qing He, I've made up my mind. I want to learn how to drive. I'll have my own car in the future and can make money by delivering passengers and goods."
Gao Qinghe paused for a long time before looking into her bright eyes and nodded.
"I'll ask Jiang Baohai to find out where there's a driving school. Once you get your license, I'll help you find a used van."
Huang Yanqiu smiled happily and happily picked up two large pieces of steamed pork with rice flour for her. They were fat and lean, and tasted fragrant and not greasy.
Gao Qinghe ate while looking at her stomach worriedly, "Learning to drive is tiring. Are you sure you want to go now?"
Huang Yanqiu said: "I didn't know it existed before. We both ran and jumped without any problem, so I'm sure it will be fine when I learn to drive."
Gao Qinghe glanced at her belly, which had just revealed its pregnancy. There was actually a little guy inside. How amazing!
