It would be a lie to say I don't want to have a child of my own.
These days, the DINK (Double Income No Kids) lifestyle of later generations isn't popular. Even someone like Zhao Qinglan, who has lived through later generations, thinks that getting married and having children is a very normal thing.
Zhao Qinglan felt happy to have a child with the person she loved.
Although Zheng Xiufen is somewhat annoyed by her husband's constant talk about having children, it doesn't mean she doesn't want to have a child of her own.
But why hasn't she gotten pregnant yet?
Thinking that Wei Hong, who had been childless for many years, also began to have some doubts.
Zheng Xiufen recalled the curses her mother-in-law had hurled at Wei Hong, such as "a hen that can't lay eggs" and "occupying the toilet without doing anything."
Wei Hong couldn't give birth, and she herself had been tormented by her husband many times, but there was still no progress. Could it be that there was something wrong with her husband, Qu Jianshe?
Once the seed of doubt is planted, it is not easily pulled out.
As soon as Qu Jianshe returned, Zheng Xiufen began to speak casually.
"The woman next door gave birth."
"So what if she gave birth? It's none of our business," Qu Jianshe said irritably.
Ever since he felt that Zhao Qinglan had corrupted his ex-wife and even encouraged her to file for divorce, he had hated that woman to death. When he found out she was pregnant, he even prayed that she would have a difficult childbirth.
"We've been married for quite a while now, so why isn't my belly showing any signs of pregnancy?" This was the first time she had brought it up herself since they got married.
"Heh, how would I know? I've worked my butt off quite a bit." Qu Jianshe even sounded a little smug when he mentioned this.
Seeing that her husband didn't seem to notice anything wrong, Zheng Xiufen swallowed back what she wanted to say.
Well, let's wait and see. Maybe it's just not meant to be. There are plenty of examples in the village of couples who had children after several years of marriage.
Let's talk about Li Huai.
When they arrived at the hospital, the three children couldn't contain their excitement and ran inside as soon as they got out of the car.
Li Huai quickly stopped the children, told them that this was a hospital, and asked them to behave and follow behind him.
When they entered the ward, Zhao Qinglan and Mrs. Sun had just changed the baby's diaper again.
This time, Mrs. Sun didn't let her son-in-law wash the dishes. She told them to sit down quickly and then took the basin and left.
Wu Mei brought some food suitable for pregnant women, and Li Huai also brought some meals.
Tell Zhao Qinglan to eat quickly, and Wu Mei will take the baby and adore him.
"This child is very good-looking, he has inherited the best features of both of you."
Li Huai really couldn't tell whether the child was good-looking or not.
The older kids were initially quite fond of the little brother, but their reactions differed when they finally saw him.
Wow, the little brother is so small.
Wow, my little brother is so ugly.
Wow, my little brother's poop smells awful.
Seeing that the adults were all busy, the older child sidled up to his younger siblings and whispered something.
"Even if our younger brother isn't good-looking, we still have to treat him well in the future."
Even if he's not good-looking, he's still their younger brother, and the eldest brother's protective instincts naturally arise.
Although Li Huai didn't think his youngest son was good-looking, his excellent hearing made his lips twitch as he heard his eldest son's instructions to his younger siblings.
Washing a diaper doesn't take too long. After Sun came back, they started eating.
"Mom, I'll take you back in a bit. I'll come back to take care of Qinglan and the children."
"Oh, you're not going to work?"
"I asked the regimental commander for two days off. You should take Da Wa and the others back and get some rest. When I go back to work, Qing Lan and the children will be counting on you."
Hearing her son-in-law say this, Mrs. Sun stopped arguing.
"Okay, I'll be back in a bit. By the way, did Qingzhu and Qingju call?"
"without."
"These two children," Sun muttered.
Wu Mei sat for a while, waiting until they had all finished eating, before saying goodbye and leaving.
Li Huai drove the group home, quickly packed some personal belongings, and then rushed to the hospital.
When Li Huai returned, a doctor came to visit Zhao Qinglan.
It's the person who recognized Li Huai when they had their prenatal checkup last time.
Although Li Zhenhua stopped sending things after being upset by his son, he continued to keep an eye on his daughter-in-law's activities.
Zhao Qinglan gave birth just last night, and this guy already knows about it this morning.
After calling Li Zhenhua to report the good news, Li Zhenhua asked him to come and visit Zhao Qinglan and her child.
Fearing that his son might do something as infuriating as before, Li Zhenhua specifically instructed him not to mention him this time.
Suddenly a doctor appeared, showing concern for her and bringing things like eggs and brown sugar, which completely baffled Zhao Qinglan.
Until the other person left, Zhao Qinglan still couldn't find out who he was, only that he knew Li Huai.
When Li Huai returned, she naturally told him about it.
Li Huai was curious to know who his acquaintance was at the military hospital.
However, some brown sugar and eggs weren't too expensive, so he didn't feel guilty accepting them.
Just as Mrs. Sun was muttering about her two daughters, she heard the phone ringing inside the house as soon as she entered the courtyard.
As soon as the call connected, the person on the other end became anxious.
It turned out that Zhao Qingju had called several times, but no one answered, so she was naturally worried.
Zhao Qingju was overjoyed to learn that her sister had given birth smoothly and that she had gained another nephew.
If it weren't for the fact that someone absolutely had to stay at the shop, she would have rushed over with her sister right now.
Mrs. Sun also told her two daughters that she would close the shop and take a break in a couple of days, so that they could come over here.
As soon as Wei Hong finished her class, she took her things and went to the military hospital.
