Chapter 50 Father and Mother Jiang are here
Here, Lu Tingxiao had just hung up the phone with his mother and he couldn't wait to dial his father-in-law and mother-in-law's number. After the phone beeped twice, the familiar voice of Jiang's father came from the other end: "Hello..." Lu Tingxiao said quickly: "Dad, it's Tingxiao!"
"Is something wrong, Tingxiao? Or did something happen to Xixi?" Father Jiang's voice suddenly became a little nervous, and his concern was evident in his words.
Lu Tingxiao hurriedly comforted him, "Dad, don't worry, Xixi is fine. Besides, I have good news to tell you. Xixi is pregnant. You and mom are going to be grandparents soon!"
There was a brief silence on the other end of the phone, and then Jiang's father burst into laughter: "Oh, this is really great news! You kid, you must take good care of Xixi. If she suffers any injustice, your mother and I will not forgive you!"
Lu Tingxiao smiled and agreed, "Dad, don't worry. I will definitely protect Xixi like a treasure. From the moment I knew she was pregnant, I secretly swore that I would never let her get tired at all!"
Father Jiang reminded again: "Pay attention to what you eat and use, don't be reluctant to spend money, and tell us if you need anything. By the way, Xixi has been pregnant for a few months, how is the prenatal checkup arranged? Don't delay it!"
Lu Tingxiao responded patiently, "Dad, Xixi has been pregnant for more than two months. The prenatal checkups have been arranged. I have learned about each item in detail. The doctor also said that Xixi is in good condition now. I also specifically asked the doctor about precautions and made a list of what she likes and dislikes to eat, as well as various precautions, in case I neglect them!"
At this time, Jiang's mother's voice came from the phone: "Is Xixi pregnant? Give me the phone quickly." Then, Jiang's mother took the phone and asked gently and anxiously: "Tingxiao, how is Xixi's health now? Is there any morning sickness reaction? If she has a poor appetite, you can make more of her favorite food"
Lu Tingxiao answered them one by one: "Mom, Xixi doesn't have any morning sickness reaction at the moment, but sometimes she suddenly wants to eat something special. I remember it and I will buy it as soon as I need it!"
Mother Jiang kept muttering, "You have to spend more time with her. Pregnant women are sensitive and their emotions are easily volatile. If Xixi gets angry, you must not be impatient!"
Lu Tingxiao solemnly promised: "Mom, don't worry, I understand everything. I will always be with Xixi. No matter what emotions she has, I will patiently comfort her!"
"Okay, your dad and I will come to see you in a couple of days!"
"Then tell me in advance and I'll pick you up!"
"You don't have to pick me up. Your father may go to Liao Province on business in a couple of days. We'll stop by to see you guys on the way then!"
After hanging up the phone, Lu Tingxiao's face was filled with happiness. He secretly made up his mind to provide the warmest and most stable sky for Xixi and the baby in her belly, and to make this little home full of love and laughter.
Lu Tingxiao had just finished a phone call with both sets of parents, and the joy in his heart was like the warm spring sun, filling his heart to the brim. When he thought of Jiang Ruoxi at home, he quickened his pace unconsciously and hurried towards the family compound.
As he walked, his mother-in-law's concerned words, "Is Xixi experiencing morning sickness?" echoed in his ears. Lu Tingxiao stopped abruptly, a trace of annoyance flashing in his eyes, blaming himself for not thinking of this earlier. He turned around quickly and walked back to the Military Service Center.
Lu Tingxiao walked back into the service center and bought a bag of pickled plums. Then, he went to the fruit section and bought some fruit. After paying the bill, he set out on his way home again.
The afternoon sun shone on his body, feeling warm. The willow trees by the roadside swayed in the wind, as if dancing for his happiness at the moment.
Lu Tingxiao returned home happily with fruits and dried plums. He pushed the door open gently, fearing to disturb the tranquility of the house.
What caught my eye was Jiang Ruoxi's quiet silhouette. She was sitting on a soft sofa with a book in her hands. Perhaps she had felt sleepy while reading and had fallen asleep.
The sunlight shines through the window, casting mottled shadows on her face, as if she had been coated with a layer of dreamy gold.
Lu Tingxiao's eyes instantly became extremely gentle. He lightened his footsteps, slowly approached, and gently placed the bag of sour plums and fruits in his hand on the coffee table beside him.
Then he bent down and carefully took the book out of Jiang Ruoxi's hand. The book slipped from her hand, and he quickly caught it, closed the book and put it aside.
He straightened up and stared at Jiang Ruoxi quietly, the corners of his mouth unconsciously raised, his eyes full of doting.
Her brows were slightly furrowed, as if she had something on her mind even in her sleep. Lu Tingxiao reached out his hand distressedly and gently brushed away the strands of hair on her forehead. He then turned and walked into the bedroom, brought out a soft blanket, and gently covered her with it. His movements were full of caution, for fear that he would accidentally wake her up from her sweet dream.
Looking at Jiang Ruoxi sleeping peacefully, Lu Tingxiao was filled with happiness and satisfaction. He sat down on the low stool beside the sofa, gently held Jiang Ruoxi's hand with one hand, felt the warmth from her fingertips, and whispered: "Xibaoer, you and the little baby in your belly are the most precious treasures in my life!"
Jiang Ruoxi slowly woke up to Lu Tingxiao's gentle whispers. Her eyes were still hazy from just waking up, and her voice was a little lazy: "You're back?"
Lu Tingxiao held her hand tightly and replied gently, "Yes, I'm back." He leaned closer and kissed Jiang Ruoxi on the forehead, then said with a smile, "I have good news for you. My father-in-law will be here on business in a few days, and he will bring my mother-in-law to visit us!
Hearing this, Jiang Ruoxi sobered up a bit, her eyes full of surprise: "Really? That's great, I haven't seen them for a long time!" She sat up and wrapped the blanket around herself, "I have to prepare well and make them a delicious meal!"
Lu Tingxiao patted her hand gently and said soothingly, "Don't worry about it. You can give instructions and I'll do it!" He thought of something else and added, "I'll tidy up the house in the next few days. You can just rest and don't tire yourself out."
"Tingxiao, your injury has just healed. The doctor asked you to come back from the hospital to rest, not to work!"
"Okay, I'll listen to my wife and rest more! But I can't neglect my parents, right?"
Jiang Ruoxi leaned on Lu Tingxiao's shoulder, her lips curled up, "Okay, I'll listen to you, but I have to do it within my ability! However, I still want to make some snacks that my parents like, they will definitely like it!" She tilted her head, looking forward to it. "My parents must be very happy when they know I'm pregnant!"
Lu Tingxiao hugged her tightly, his face filled with happiness, "Of course, I'm so happy. My parents-in-law will definitely tell me to take good care of you!" He touched Jiang Ruoxi's belly and said softly, "My little darling, you will be able to meet your grandparents soon. They will definitely love you very much!"
The days pass by like the gurgling water, gently and quietly.
That morning, the sun was warm and Jiang Ruoxi sat comfortably in the yard basking in the sun. Her body was wrapped in the warm sunlight, as if she was being gently embraced. The little life in the belly seemed to sense this beauty, making Jiang Ruoxi's heart full of happiness.
Suddenly, a crisp knock on the door broke the silence.
Jiang Ruoxi just stood up and was about to open the door when she saw Lu Tingxiao walking out of the room quickly. With a concerned look on his face, he walked over to Jiang Ruoxi, gently supported her shoulders, and said softly, "You sit down, I'll go open the door!" Jiang Ruoxi looked at him with a smile on her lips, and sat back obediently, her eyes following Lu Tingxiao's back.
Lu Tingxiao opened the door and saw Father and Mother Jiang standing at the door. The two elders were holding large and small bags of nutritional supplements, with kind and happy smiles on their faces. Lu Tingxiao hurriedly went over to them, took the things from their hands, and said, "Dad, Mom, you're here. Are you tired from the journey? Come in!"
Father Jiang smiled cheerfully: "I'm not tired. I feel full of energy when I think about seeing you guys soon!" Mother Jiang looked into the house anxiously and asked, "Where's Xixi?" At this time, Jiang Ruoxi had slowly walked to the door and shouted with a smile, "Mom, I'm here!"
Seeing this, Jiang's mother hurried forward, took Jiang Ruoxi's hand, and looked her up and down, her eyes full of heartache and concern: "My dear girl, why are you so thin? Is it hard to be pregnant?"
Jiang Ruoxi smiled and shook her head: "Mom, I'm fine. It's not hard at all. Tingxiao takes good care of me!" Lu Tingxiao nodded and agreed: "Mom, don't worry, I will definitely not let Xixi suffer any grievances!"
Father Jiang looked at this heartwarming scene and smiled with relief: "We can rest assured knowing that Tingxiao is taking care of you!"
The family walked into the house talking and laughing, and the house was instantly filled with laughter and the warm atmosphere became even stronger.
