"What the hell?" Zhao Hongying muttered as she watched her son come into the room. "When has Li Qingge ever spoken to me in that tone?"
"Mom, why are you bringing her up again?" Xu Changan said with a gloomy face, "Didn't I already tell you that Li Qingge and I have nothing to do with each other anymore? If Wanruo heard what you just said, she would make a scene again."
"Chang'an, don't think I'm nagging you. Why did you fall for her in the first place? How can she compare to Li Qingge? You think city girls are spoiled. It's just a pregnancy, what's the big deal? She doesn't even feel sorry for you. When Li Qingge was with you, she always gave you the best food and brought back a lot of things from her parents' home." Zhao Hongying frowned, "You didn't marry a wife at all, you married a ancestor! Not only you, but even I have to serve her!"
Xu Changan had an ugly expression on his face and no one knew what he was thinking.
Zhao Hongying burst into tears as she spoke, tears streaming down her face. "If your father were still alive, I wouldn't have to endure this! Didn't you say the Su family is rich? How come they don't have the money to treat your father's illness? I think they are selfish! They don't even consider us a family."
"Mom, my dad's illness cannot be cured. Spending money on him is like buying his life, which will only prolong his suffering." Xu Changan said in a tired voice.
Zhao Hongying opened her mouth but said nothing in the end. She could see that her son was tired and she didn't want to embarrass him. In her heart, she missed Li Qingge more and more.
——
After staying here with Li Hanting for a few days, Li Qingge and the others returned to the military compound.
When Mrs. Yu saw them come back, she happily picked up her basket and went to the farmers' market to buy meat and vegetables.
I heard from Mrs. Yu that Mr. Li has not been at home recently and has gone to stay at an old comrade's house.
As soon as Li Qingge arrived, Wang Yuanyuan came.
"You're finally back." Wang Yuanyuan sat down and drank water first, gulping down one cup after another.
"What's the rush?" Li Qingge pushed the fruit plate in front of her.
Wang Yuanyuan took a small piece of watermelon and said, "Yunfu came to see me while you were away!"
Li Qingge frowned, "What does he want from you?"
"He came to cause trouble for me, warning me against meddling in other people's business, and even threatened my family," Wang Yuanyuan said. "Later, I looked it up, and I found out the Yun family is just a bunch of upstarts. How could he possibly threaten me? He was just so angry that he couldn't do anything to you, so he took it out on me!"
"Are you okay?" Li Qingge frowned a little deeper.
"It's okay, you don't have to be so nervous. With Old Li here, Yunfu won't dare to do anything to me." Wang Yuanyuan paused when she said this, "Well, there's one more thing. We're getting married!"
Li Qingge didn't expect their good news to come so quickly. She chuckled and said, "Congratulations. When you move in, we can see each other all the time."
"Yes," Wang Yuanyuan thought this was a good idea. In the future, they would be close to each other and could visit each other often.
"I didn't expect to get married so soon. I think Lao Li is a good match, so let's get married!"
When Wang Yuanyuan mentioned Deputy Battalion Commander Li, a hint of shyness appeared on her face. "Besides, he's a few years older than me, so he must be more eager to get married than I am."
"What did my uncle and aunt say?" Li Qingge remembered that Wang Yuanyuan had said last time that she had not introduced Deputy Captain Li to her family. Her family must be surprised if she notified them of the marriage so soon.
"My parents didn't agree at first, thinking I was a scammer. But then they heard that Lao Li was the deputy battalion commander, and asked someone to check his character. Now they are 100% satisfied!"
Wang Yuanyuan smiled and said, "My parents were worried about my marriage, but now they are not worried anymore. I didn't expect that the person I found would be so outstanding!"
"fate."
Li Qingge said that everything is about fate.
When fate comes, it cannot be stopped.
"We'll consider having children after we get married," Wang Yuanyuan said with a serious face. "The main consideration is that Lao Li is old, and he won't be able to take care of the child when he reaches puberty!"
"What about work?" Li Qingge always thought that Wang Yuanyuan was a career-oriented strong woman.
"Work and having a baby don't conflict. I worked as usual during my pregnancy and returned to work right after giving birth. My mother said she would help me take care of the baby, and I give her money every month."
Wang Yuanyuan was worried about leaving the child with someone else because Old Li's mother was old and might not be able to take care of the child.
I have reached a consensus with her mother on this matter.
While her parents are still young and have the help of the elderly, she can devote all her energy to work.
Li Qingge thought, it was probably the same as them.
Wang Yuanyuan has no plans to quit her job in the future.
"It wasn't easy for my parents to raise me. I learned all these years of knowledge, but it wasn't for taking care of my husband and children."
"Yes." Li Qingge admired her very much.
It was rare to have such insightful thoughts in the 1980s.
Wang Yuanyuan's eyes fell on her lower abdomen. "Hmm? Do you think your belly is a little big? I've seen women who are five or six months pregnant look about the same size as you."
When Li Qingge heard Wang Yuanyuan say this, she also felt that her belly was a little big.
I went to the hospital for a checkup and the doctor didn't say anything.
Li Qingge looked down for a moment and said, "I hope it won't cause any wrinkles!"
"What kind of pattern?" Wang Yuanyuan didn't understand.
"During pregnancy, your belly will stretch to a certain extent, and then you'll start to develop lines called stretch marks!"
Li Qingge plans to continue filming in the future and doesn't want to get wrinkles.
"Oh, it's okay. No one will see you wearing your clothes normally. Just be safe with the child."
Wang Yuanyuan patted the back of her hand comfortingly. "If we're pregnant with a boy and a girl, what do you think about arranging a marriage?"
"I have no problem with that. It depends on what the children think. Otherwise, even if we, as the elders, force two people together, they will not be happy."
"Of course, ours is a tacit child marriage, so there's no need to tell anyone else." Wang Yuanyuan said with a smile.
"Has the wedding date been set?" Li Qingge asked.
"No, my parents decided the wedding date. They were looking for a good day."
Wang Yuanyuan doesn't care. "I don't believe that. Choosing a good wedding date means a long-term marriage. The happiness of a marriage depends on whether the two are compatible."
"Since it's a wedding, we definitely want to make everything perfect."
"I know."
“…”
Wang Yuanyuan accompanied Li Qingge until the afternoon.
It was Deputy Battalion Commander Li who came to pick her up.
"Qingge, I'll go back first and come see you in two days."
Li Qingge nodded softly, "Okay."
Deputy Battalion Commander Li said hello to Li Qingge and left with Wang Yuanyuan.
"Didn't you say you were just coming over to sit? Why have you been sitting here for so long and not leaving? You said you were here to keep me company today!"
Deputy Battalion Commander Li's tone was somewhat resentful.
"I haven't seen Qingge for a long time."
