Chapter 359: Birth
Bai Qiuning nudged Xu Nuo gently and said, "You've been married for more than a year. When do you plan to have a baby?"
"Wait a minute, I'm not in a hurry." Xu Nuo said with a smile, "Lu Chen has no such plan either, let's take it slowly."
"Aunt Cheng, I told her to hurry up and give birth to the baby, and to accompany me, but she refused!" Bai Qiuning sighed regretfully, "Don't you think it would be great if we could raise the baby together? The baby would have a companion since childhood, and we would have something to talk about together."
"I think so." Cheng Wanying couldn't help but urge Xu Nuo, "Why don't you consider having a baby? Several families in our courtyard have had children, and your father is jealous."
"Auntie, aren't you jealous?" Bai Qiuning joked.
"I'm jealous! What can I do? But these two people don't listen to me..."
"Mom, isn't there Youyi? You and my dad have been with Yiyi as he grew up, so he isn't lonely." Xu Nuo peeled two melon seeds and put them into his mouth, slowly savoring the taste.
"Of course the more children the better. Have you ever seen a family that dislikes having too many children?" Cheng Wanying smiled and took Xu Nuo's hand. "Listen to mom and think about this. You are a doctor, and you know some things. It's better to have children earlier, while your health is good. When you are older, giving birth will be painful, and the child will be weak."
Bai Qiu Ning agreed again and again, "Yes, yes, I feel like I'm too late to have a child. After all, her spirit is different from that of a young girl in her early twenties."
Hearing this, Xu Nuo couldn't help but laugh and curse: "Bah! You are only 26 or 27 years old, in the prime of life, what's the point of being tired? Don't lie to me about having a baby!"
Bai Qiuning smacked his lips: "You saw through it!"
The women were talking about having children, while the men at the table were talking about their work in the army and another thing - the war.
"Dad, I heard that the border is still not peaceful and there have been constant harassment." Lu Cheng asked.
Lu Huaizheng took a bite of his food and said slowly, "Yes, it's not peaceful. There have been hundreds of battles, big and small, and there has never been a break."
"Commander, do you think this can still be a war?" Liao Qing asked, "I mean a big battle."
Lu Huaizheng shook his head: "It's hard to say."
"Dad, what does it mean to be hard to say?" Lu Cheng asked hurriedly.
"What do you think?" Lu Huaizheng looked at Lu Chen, "What do you think will happen?"
"There may be a major battle." Lu Chen analyzed, "The enemy has been eyeing our territory covetously. Unless we can completely defeat them, the war can be settled."
"If there is a big battle, I must go and fight to defend the motherland!" His brother participated in the battles in the past two years, but he did not, and he has always felt very regretful.
If the war really breaks out again this time, he will go to defend his country no matter what!
We had dinner very late and chatted until very late.
It was around one o'clock in the morning when Liao Qing and his wife and Liao Hong returned home.
The cups, plates and bowls on the table had not been cleared away yet, and mother-in-law Cheng Wanying insisted that Xu Nuo clear them together.
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law chatted while working, which was a rare and warm scene.
The men didn't rest either.
It was a rare reunion, and Lu Huaizheng was chatting with his two sons enthusiastically.
They talked about work at the dinner table, and privately the father was concerned about his sons' lives.
"Lu Chen, you are not young anymore. You will be thirty in a blink of an eye. It's time to have a child. I'm not pushing you. There are many people having children in our compound. Your Uncle Chen, Uncle Zhang, and Uncle Liu all have children. You should let me hold one, right? I am happy to have grandchildren, as long as you give birth to them for me."
This time his father brought it up himself, so Lu Chen didn't know what to say.
"They don't want it." Lu Cheng saw the embarrassment on his brother's face, "He can't be my sister-in-law."
Lu Huaizheng: “?”
Is my daughter-in-law such a powerful person?
"Don't talk nonsense." Lu Chen glared at Lu Cheng.
"Then let me put it another way." Lu Cheng laughed twice, "He is respecting my sister-in-law's idea! According to what my sister-in-law said, I calculated for them and it is estimated that I will have to wait until I am thirty-four or thirty-five years old to become a father!"
Lu Chen raised his eyebrows and glanced at Lu Cheng. The meaning in his eyes was very clear: Is it necessary for you to get involved in this matter?
"Brother, I'm doing this for your own good. I've never seen you guys like this, dragging your feet on having a child. I feel bad for my parents!"
"What about you?" Before Lu Cheng finished speaking, he was questioned by Lu Chen, "When are you getting married? If you care about your parents, why don't you get married first and have a baby after you get married? That way, my parents won't have to urge me."
Lu Cheng scratched his head: "Isn't this about you? How come it's my turn?"
Lu Huaizheng cleared his throat and said seriously, "Lu Chen, you should try to have a baby as soon as possible. Lu Cheng, you should marry your Niao Niao as soon as possible. You have been on and off for so many times. If you like her, marry her quickly. If you don't like her, break up quickly. Don't waste the girl's youth."
Lu Chen: "Got it, Dad."
Lu Cheng said in a muffled voice: "Yes, Chief Lu!"
After chatting for a long time, Lu Huaizheng was tired and ready to go to bed.
But there was still a lot of work to be done downstairs. Lu Chen felt sorry for his wife and took the initiative to go to the kitchen to help wash the dishes.
When Xu Nuo saw him coming, he urged Cheng Wanying to go and rest.
Before leaving, Cheng Wanying sighed softly and said to the two of them, "Don't blame me for nagging you about this matter. Just have a child if you want one."
Lu Chen's ears were callused from hearing this tonight, and he couldn't help but say, "Mom, we two have our own ideas and plans, don't worry. Besides, don't we have Yi Yi? She will accompany you, so you won't be lonely."
After hearing this, Cheng Wanying's eyes turned red and tears almost fell out.
Seeing this, Xu Nuo hurriedly squeezed Lu Chen's hand, signaling him to stop talking.
"Mom, don't cry. We should be happy during the New Year. Why are you so sad?"
At this point, Cheng Wanying had to say, "To be honest, your father's heart disease has worsened. He has been hospitalized three times this year. Last year, Lao Meng from the Political Department of our hospital passed away, also because of heart problems. Your father didn't sleep well that night after hearing about it. He was also worried that he would suddenly have a seizure and pass away one day, without even seeing his own grandchildren. How regrettable would that be?"
"Uncle Meng, what's going on?" Lu Chen asked hurriedly, "Why should I listen to what you are telling me?"
Cheng Wanying wiped her eyes and said, "Don't ask me yet. Let me finish what I'm saying. When a person gets old, he hopes to see his offspring. You are still young and don't understand this feeling. Although we already have Yi Yi, Yi Yi is the second child after all. Your father hopes to see you and the third child have a child. Do you understand this?"
