Chapter 360 Preparing for Pregnancy
"Mom, I understand. You go and have a rest first. I promise you that Xu Nuo and I will seriously consider this issue!" Lu Chen could not make a decision on his own and still had to seek Xu Nuo's consent.
"Okay, good kids, I believe you will figure it out." Cheng Wanying wiped her tears, calmed herself down and left.
Lu Chen helped Xu Nuo wash the dishes, and the couple didn't speak the whole time.
When they returned to the bedroom and lay down on the bed to rest, Lu Chen said to Xu Nuo: "My parents' ideas are still those of the older generation. Although I have been engaged in revolution for a lifetime and have accepted many new ideas, I still have old-fashioned ideas and styles in my bones. Don't be angry."
Xu Nuo turned over and went straight into Lu Chen's arms: "I'm not angry. In fact, I've been thinking about this problem."
"Hmm? Go ahead."
At first, Xu Nuo didn't want to have a child so early because she wanted to develop her career.
In her plan, five years are reserved for her own struggle.
What she didn't expect was that in the past year and a half, her progress was still very rapid, and her initial plan had actually been completed.
Now that my career is on the right track and I have money in my pocket, it is indeed time to consider having children.
She is not too old and can wait for two years, but Lu Chen is almost thirty years old.
In this day and age, it is indeed not small.
I guess there are people who are pointing fingers and talking behind my back, but they just don’t dare to speak out openly.
"Let's have the baby." Xu Nuo agreed, "But I have to take folic acid for three months first, and then I can prepare for pregnancy."
When Lu Chen heard the news, he felt a huge sense of regret in his heart.
He hugged Xu Nuo tightly, kissed her cheek, and whispered, "Is it because of Dad's health that you reluctantly agreed? I don't want you to do anything you don't want to do."
"No, it's not." Xu Nuo said softly, "I'm not forced. I love you, and I want to have a child with you. It's a beautiful thing, isn't it? Besides, Yi Yi is very cute. I think if we have a child, it should also be very cute, right?"
Lu Chen looked into her eyes for a long while before he said, "Thank you, Nuonuo!"
The next day was New Year’s Day.
While paying New Year's greetings, Xu Nuo secretly told his mother-in-law Cheng Wanying that he was planning to get pregnant.
Cheng Wanying was so happy that she couldn't stop smiling.
She promised to ask her mother-in-law to keep it a secret for the time being, and that it would not be too late to tell her father-in-law after she became pregnant.
After all, preparing for pregnancy and being pregnant are two different things.
She was preparing to get pregnant, but there was no guarantee that she would be able to conceive successfully. In order to avoid being happy in vain, she decided to keep it a secret from her father-in-law who had a weak heart.
Unfortunately, her good intentions were in vain.
The mother-in-law went back to the house and told Lu Huaizheng the good news.
Lu Huaizheng was so happy that he couldn't stop smiling for two or three days, and even playing with the children became more energetic.
But Lu Chengke was unlucky. He finally got two days of rest, but was nagged every day at home.
He was the last one to give in to anyone, so he quickly found an excuse that he had something to deal with in the army, and then he ran away.
After Lu Cheng left, the old couple stayed for another three days and then prepared to return with Lu Yiyi.
Before going back, Lu Chen had a private conversation with Lu Huaizheng.
He said, "Dad, Xu Nuo and I are ready to have a baby, but you, when you go back, please find a doctor to treat your illness. Beijing is so big, there are many famous doctors, you should get treatment quickly. Otherwise, even if the baby is born, you won't be able to take care of it."
Lu Huaizheng was happy. Even his son's unpleasant words made him feel good. "I know, I know. I'm actively receiving treatment. Don't worry about me. Just take care of your own lives."
In a blink of an eye, the first month of the year has passed and it has entered February. The ice and snow have melted and all things are reviving.
Bai Qiu Ning's due date is approaching, and she has been very anxious these days. She would pull Xu Nuo aside to chat whenever she has nothing to do.
Although she was promised repeatedly that she would find a midwife with high delivery skills in the obstetrics and gynecology department, she was still extremely nervous.
Because she was too nervous, her child was born half a month early.
A chubby white boy came into this new world crying, and Liao Qing was so happy that he couldn't stop smiling.
After work every day, the first thing he does is to hold the child, coax the child, and revolve around his wife.
All the housework was left to Liao Hong, which made her very dissatisfied.
She and Jian Rui's business had just started. They were in the catering business and opened the first large private restaurant on Zhengyang Road.
She is busy in the restaurant during the day, and at night she has to serve the family dinner and wash diapers for the children.
Therefore, she often went to Xu Nuo to complain.
Xu Nuo is also very busy and has no time to listen to Liao Hong's complaints recently.
Ever since she learned that her father-in-law had a serious heart disease and his heart condition was getting worse, she has been keeping an eye on cardiologists in the country.
After asking around, I found out that the skills of domestic doctors are indeed limited, but there are relatively mature technologies abroad, and the results of treatment are also very good.
So she asked Ling Sheng to help contact a doctor in this field.
She heard that Qin Huayun was also very serious about helping this time and was actively helping him contact some of his old friends abroad.
Her heart disease could be treated in China at the beginning, but Lu Huaizheng's was really difficult to treat. There were no successful cases in China, so she could only hope abroad.
Fortunately, Qin Huayun and Ling Sheng finally found the right candidate.
Moreover, the doctor happened to be coming to China for academic exchanges, and took this opportunity to help Lu Huaizheng perform this operation.
Ling Sheng told Xu Nuo the news. Xu Nuo was overjoyed after hearing the news and quickly told Lu Chen.
"I plan to go visit her and Ling Sheng to thank them." Lu Chen said to Xu Nuo.
Xu Nuo smiled and said, "I think Aunt Qin may not be willing to see you thank her. Perhaps, she would feel that it would be too strange."
Perhaps it was Lu Chen's casual words of thanks that made Qin Huayun feel sweet in her heart.
Lu Chen said: "We should thank you for that. It should be as it is."
Xu Nuo could see that Lu Chen just wanted to express his gratitude and had no intention of forgiving Ms. Qin or reconciling with her.
I accompanied Lu Chen to thank him for the good weather that day, with bright spring scenery and gentle breeze.
Qin Huayun was drinking coffee on the balcony, admiring the flowers and plants she planted basking in the sun.
When she heard that Lu Chen came to thank her, she was very calm.
After the unremitting guidance of the siblings Jian Rui and Jian Ya, she gradually realized how excessive what she had done to Lu Chen over the years was.
Moreover, she did not think that she had gone too far, and she stood on the highest moral ground to accuse Lu Chen and Xu Nuo with a clear conscience.
Now think about how bad I was.
She is in such a bad state, but she still wants her son and daughter-in-law to reconcile with her and return to her. This is simply wishful thinking.
"Aunt Qin, Lu Chen and I are here to see you." Xu Nuo handed over the gift, "This was picked by Lu Chen himself. Knowing that you are an elegant and fashionable woman, he specially picked out a beautiful sweater dress."
Qin Huayun took the gift and smiled: "Thank you, after all, the child understands me as a mother. Please sit down, coffee or tea?"
"I won't sit down anymore." Lu Chen said calmly, "I came here to thank you and Ling Sheng for helping my dad find a good doctor."
Qin Huayun knew from his attitude and expression that he was just being polite, and even if they sat down, there was nothing to talk about.
Even a wrong word can cause a conflict.
"You're welcome." Qin Huayun had become much calmer. "After all, Dad and I have been married for several years. Your dad and I have been married for so many years, and he has never treated me harshly and has always respected me. In this regard, I should help him. In addition, I am your mother. I did not fulfill my motherly responsibilities when you were young. Now that you are older, you don't need me anymore, but I also want to do my best to make up for it. I don't ask you to forgive me, I just hope that your dad can accompany you longer."
It is really not easy for Qin Huayun to say these words.
Lu Chen's heart was filled with emotion. He looked up at Qin Huayun and said, "Thank you."
Xu Nuo watched as the mother and son were finally able to talk to each other calmly, and thought silently: It’s actually not bad to be able to continue like this, maybe one day, the mother and son will be able to reconcile.
In April, the apricot blossoms fall and the peach blossoms bloom, and clusters of pear blossoms turn white. The best time of spring has arrived.
Bai Qiu Ning's son is already two months old. He is white and chubby and very lovable.
At dusk, when the sunlight was not so strong, he walked back and forth in front of the school building with his son in his arms.
Seeing Lu Chen coming back, he hurriedly picked up his son and went forward to show off.
"Little skinny boy, come here, let your uncle Lu see if we look energetic and vigorous."
Lu Chen took the child with a smile, and held the skinny boy in his arms with a slightly clumsy movements to make him laugh.
"Brother Liao, this child is obviously fat, why do you have to call him skinny?"
Bai Qiu Ning's milk supply was very strong. Although the baby was only two months old, she had already fed him to weigh 12 kilograms.
The little face is round, and when it smiles, its eyes are squeezed into slits.
"You don't understand this, do you?" Liao Qing explained to him, "The older generation said that it's easier to raise a child with a bad name. This girl is beautiful, so she can't be called Meiya, she should be called Chouni'er. My son is white and chubby, so he can't be called Xiaopangding, he should be called Xiaoshouzi. This way the child won't get sick easily."
Lu Chen looked unconvinced: "Is there such a thing?"
"Don't disbelieve it." Liao Qing said seriously, "This is the wisdom of the older generation, do you understand?"
"You are superstitious."
As soon as Lu Chen finished speaking, he suddenly felt a warmth on his arm, and then water dripped down his elbow to the ground.
"Don't move, don't move." Liao Qing lowered his voice and shouted hurriedly, "Let my son finish peeing, don't scare him."
When the skinny boy finished peeing, Liao Qing said proudly, "Look at how promising my son is. He peed such a big pee. Don't believe me, Uncle Lu. Look, my good son has vented my anger for me."
Lu Chen laughed in silence: "Brother Liao, I find that you are getting better and better at talking nonsense."
"What? Are you envious? Go back and make a baby with your wife! Hurry up, do it a few more times, and you will definitely get pregnant." Liao Qing said with a wicked smile.
