She was fine eating other things, but when she ate fish, Zhao Qinglan couldn't hold back any longer.
Seeing her cover her mouth and run away, Li Huai quickly chased after her.
"Mom, what's wrong with my eldest sister?" Zhao Qingju asked with a worried expression.
Zhao Qingzhu and the children were also very worried.
Mrs. Sun paused for a moment, then suddenly realized what was happening.
"Qinglan, could it be that she's pregnant?"
"Qinglan, are you alright?" Li Huai saw her vomiting and quickly patted her back to help her catch her breath.
After gagging twice but vomiting nothing, Zhao Qinglan finally raised her head.
"It's nothing, I just suddenly feel a little nauseous."
Even after she said that, Li Huai was still worried.
"I'll take a sip of water and rinse my mouth."
Although she didn't spit it out, she still felt uncomfortable in her mouth.
When the two returned, they saw that Sun was beaming with joy, and they were completely baffled.
"Qinglan, how long has it been since your period started?"
When her mother asked her about such a private matter in front of everyone, Zhao Qinglan blushed immediately.
"Mom, why are you asking this?"
"Tell me quickly, how long has it been since you last came?"
"It seems like it's been quite a while." Zhao Qinglan realized what she meant as soon as she finished speaking.
Yes, it's been a long time since my period started.
She wasn't stupid; after all, she had given birth before. Looking down at her stomach, she was stunned.
Seeing her daughter's reaction, Mrs. Sun felt even more confident.
"Aren't you stupid? It's not like you're a first-time mom. You didn't even know you were pregnant."
Li Huai was stunned. His wife was pregnant?
"Mom, how did you know Qinglan was pregnant?" he asked instinctively.
"Sigh, how can I explain this to you? It's probably true. I don't know if hospitals can do tests during the New Year. You'll know once you go and have a checkup."
When his wife found out she was pregnant, Li Huai was overjoyed and grinned like an idiot as he looked at Zhao Qinglan's belly.
Zhao Qinglan felt embarrassed under his gaze, especially since several children were watching.
"It's not certain yet, let's continue eating."
Even if it's not confirmed yet, it's enough to make Li Huai happy.
When Zhao Qingzhu and Zhao Qingju heard that their sister wasn't having any health problems but was pregnant, they were happy for her.
After all, her older sister remarried with Xiaoduo in tow. If she could have a child with her brother-in-law, their relationship would probably be better in the future.
Of the three children, only the eldest understood some of what was being said.
Is his stepmother going to have a baby brother or sister? To be honest, he's kind of looking forward to it.
Their New Year's Eve dinner became even more festive because of this unexpected happy event.
Originally, Li Huai was supposed to go to the troupe after the New Year's Eve dinner, but now he has no intention of leaving at all.
He only went to the next room briefly to inform the group leader that he was not going.
Sun Shengli was wondering why he didn't go.
Li Huai said with a joyful expression, "Commander, I might be going to be a father again."
Wu Mei was overjoyed upon hearing this. "Qinglan is pregnant?"
"We can't be completely sure without testing, but my mother-in-law said it's probably true."
"Then you should go get checked out tomorrow."
"Why."
Because of this, Sun Shengli understood Li Huai's agitation.
When Sun Shengli arrived at the regiment, Yang Qingmin, seeing that Li Huai had not yet arrived, couldn't help but make sarcastic remarks.
"Has Deputy Regiment Commander Li forgotten that there's still important business to attend to?"
Sun Shengli glanced at him. "Li Huai has family matters to attend to and has already asked me for leave."
The regimental commander spoke up in defense, and Yang Qingmin could only silently shut up.
Now let's talk about Li Huai and his group.
Outside, Mrs. Sun and the children were eating snacks and listening to the lively radio, while inside, Li Huai carefully pressed his head against his wife's belly.
"Qinglan, do you really think it's here?"
Even though he's already a father of several children, he still acts like a new dad.
Zhao Qinglan was both amused and exasperated.
"Even if you were pregnant, it's still early in the pregnancy. How could you possibly hear any movement?"
Touching her belly, Zhao Qinglan felt a little strange.
In her past life, she only had one biological child, Xiaoduo, who was lost.
Will she have the chance to have another child in this lifetime?
Fate is truly strange.
If she had the chance to be a mother again, she would cherish it.
Not long after, the sound of firecrackers could be heard outside.
As soon as they saw the signal, every household rushed to set it off.
Zhao Qinglan felt that with the two of them staying inside, her mother and sister outside were probably thinking all sorts of things, so she quickly urged Li Huai to go out and set off the firecrackers.
People stay up all night on New Year's Eve.
However, neither Li Huai nor her mother, Madam Sun, wanted Zhao Qinglan to continue enduring this condition, so they urged her to go to sleep and rest.
Li Huai stayed outside with several children to keep watch at night.
There were many of them, and it was quite lively when they got together.
Besides listening to the radio, they also played other games.
After midnight, everyone was yawning and quickly went to sleep.
After all, they have to get up early, so even if they sleep now, they won't get more than a few hours of sleep.
Zhao Qinglan slept quite well until she was woken up by the continuous sound of firecrackers going off outside early in the morning.
Early this morning, I cooked some dumplings that I hadn't finished yesterday, this time as soup dumplings.
Besides eating, you can also have a hot drink.
Upon seeing the three children, Zhao Qinglan handed them three red envelopes.
"Here's your New Year's money."
Seeing this, Mrs. Sun also took out a red envelope.
"This is from your grandmother."
Zhao Qingzhu and her sister Qingju are not short of money now, and they also gave New Year's money to their nephews and nieces.
The three children were overjoyed to receive so much lucky money.
But everyone else received something, so why didn't Dad get one? They turned their expectant gazes to Li Huai.
Li Huai spread his hands. "Dad's money is all with your mom. If your mom gets rich, it's the same as me getting rich."
Well, the children were a little disappointed, but Mrs. Sun was quite pleased to hear it.
Unexpectedly, after giving the children their red envelopes, Zhao Qinglan gave each of her two younger sisters a red envelope.
"Sister, I already have more. I'm a grown-up, I can't accept this." Zhao Qingzhu immediately pushed the red envelope back.
The same applies to Zhao Qingju.
"You're not married yet, so you're still kids to me. Here, take this."
“Your sister gave it to you, accept it,” Madam Sun said.
Zhao Qingzhu and her sister then put the red envelopes away.
After having a good meal at home, Li Huai took his three children out to pay New Year's visits.
Zhao Qinglan, her mother, and her sister stayed at home to entertain guests who might come to pay their respects at any time.
As for going to the hospital for a check-up, they plan to go in the afternoon.
As soon as Li Huai left with the children, Zhao Qinglan laid out all the melon seeds, peanuts, and candies.
These days, when you entertain guests, you're lucky if you get a cup of hot water to drink.
Being served melon seeds and peanuts is already considered a lavish meal.
For Zhao Qinglan to simply display candy was already considered quite extravagant.
However, Zhao Qinglan was open-minded. Her family was better off now, so setting out a few plates of candy was something she could afford.
The point of celebrating the New Year is to have a joyful and happy time, and she also hoped that everyone who visited his home for the New Year would leave happy.
