Chapter 109: Huo Beichuan's awkwardness
"Sister-in-law, please sit for a while. I'm going to talk to my old man Huo about something." Shen Jintao's eyes were full of cunning.
There was nothing Qian Mingfang didn't understand, so she just waved her hand and let her go. After all, she had been pregnant for so long and hadn't found a chance to tell Huo Beichuan yet, so she must be getting impatient.
"Beichuan, come with me to the room. I have something to tell you."
Hearing his wife calling him, Huo Beichuan followed her into the room without any delay.
As soon as the door of the room was closed, Huo Beichuan couldn't wait to hug her into his arms, "Wife, you've been away for such a long time. I really miss you so much."
At this time, Huo Beichuan no longer looked serious in front of outsiders. He looked like an abandoned big dog, so pitiful.
Shen Jintao couldn't help but stand on tiptoe and kiss him on the cheek, "Aren't you back?"
"I didn't expect that. I had planned to leave on the eighth day of the Lunar New Year, but Chen Chunmiao got into trouble again. My grandfather was in the hospital and there was no one to take care of him at home. I was worried that my mother would be too busy to write the news by herself, so I thought about coming back after things calmed down a little."
"Well, are our dad and grandpa okay?"
Sending a telegram was too expensive, and it was difficult to explain clearly in a few words. Chen Jintao only briefly mentioned these two matters when sending the telegram, asking Huo Beichuan not to worry, saying that things on her side had been handled, but she did not tell him the details of the two matters.
Shen Jintao simply recounted how Shen Jianmin was wrongly accused by the widow and how Shen Chunmiao and Huang Erniu were caught in the act.
Huo Beichuan was somewhat shocked. After all, Chen Chunmiao was his ex-fiancée. He felt scared when he thought that he almost married such a fickle woman.
"That Lu Qingshan actually only wants money?" Huo Beichuan expressed his incomprehension. Could this guy be a cuckold? Things have come to this, and you are still thinking about asking for money.
"Well, I don't think it's a good idea to say who is cheating whom between Shen Chunmiao and Lu Qingshan. Neither of them is a good person. I think Lu Qingshan wanted to marry Shen Chunmiao because he thought that since our old lady favors the second wife, he would most likely get a place to return to the city if he married Shen Chunmiao. I never expected that my grandfather would stop being the captain as soon as they got married, and my dad would become the captain."
Hearing his wife's evaluation of Lu Qingshan, Huo Beichuan felt very happy. There was really nothing good about that boiled chicken.
"I have something very important to tell you, so be prepared."
Chen Jintao blinked her big eyes again and playfully kept the secret.
Huo Beichuan was puzzled, "What's the matter?"
"Well... you're going to be a father. I found out after I went back. The child is almost two months old now."
"What?"
Huo Beichuan was also a well-known god who could remain calm even when faced with a huge crisis. However, at this moment, he did not collapse at all.
"Wife, tell me again, what's wrong with you?"
Huo Beichuan stared at his wife's belly in disbelief.
"Why do you look like that? We've been together for so long, isn't it normal for you to get pregnant?"
Shen Jintao pursed her lips and smiled.
Huo Beichuan nodded woodenly, but did not show the kind of ecstasy that Shen Jintao had imagined.
Seeing that he didn't say a word for a long time, Shen Jintao was a little confused, "What's wrong with you?"
It was at this moment that she saw the panic in Huo Beichuan's eyes.
"What's going on?" Chen Jintao was a little confused. She was very happy about the arrival of this child. After all, in her two lifetimes, this was the first time she had a child of her own.
"Nothing..." Huo Beichuan opened his mouth but said nothing.
Chen Jintao didn't like the man's look, it was too awkward. She stretched out her hand and pinched the man's waist hard, "You don't look happy, do you? What? You still don't welcome our child?"
"No!" Huo Beichuan immediately became anxious. He couldn't let his wife have such a misunderstanding.
"Wife, that's not what I meant. I just felt that I wasn't ready yet. How come I got pregnant all of a sudden?"
Huo Beichuan sighed.
"Don't we have our mom? She came here just to take care of me. What do you have to worry about?"
Chen Jintao didn't quite understand why the man was so awkward about this matter.
"Wife, it's not that I don't welcome this child. Last time I was on a mission, I saved a woman who was about to give birth. She was sent to the hospital and was about to give birth. Her family didn't come, so I was waiting there. I saw it at the time. There were basins of blood. If it was a man giving birth, I wouldn't think it was a big deal, but when I think about you going through that, I feel uneasy."
Chen Jintao was stunned. She had never thought that the reason why her man was so awkward was because of this. A warm feeling ran through her heart. In this age of universal chauvinism, the fact that this man could sympathize with his woman and think that it was not easy to give birth to a child was enough to prove that she had made the right decision in marrying him.
"I'm scared too. Giving birth will definitely be painful, but Beichuan, this is our child, the fruit of our love, so I welcome his arrival very much. I also hope you won't worry about it anymore. Let's wait for him together."
Huo Beichuan nodded, "That's right, the birth of the child is our destiny, we can't just say we don't want it, this is the only way, but my wife, you will have to work hard in the future."
Looking at the deep pain in the man's eyes, Chen Jintao inexplicably felt that having a child was not such a terrible thing.
"It's almost time. We've been here for a while. My sister-in-law and the others are still outside. And this is the first time for my parents to come here. Go and have a good talk with them. By the way, do we have any wine at home? If not, go buy some and let our dad drink some tonight so he can sleep better at night."
"Okay!" Huo Beichuan had no objection to his wife's arrangement. He went to take a look and found that there was still some wine at home. He, Gao Wu and the team leader could not drink it all, but it was more than enough for Huo Chenggong to drink alone.
Then there is no need to buy it. The aroma of food soon wafted out from the kitchen. When Chen Jintao returned to the yard, Qian Mingfang and Xiao Hongying were already helping in the kitchen.
