Chapter 75 Chapter 75 Baby
"What are you thinking about?"
After the family finished their meal and were on their way back, Zhao Zhanming saw Lu Qinghe in a daze and couldn't help but ask.
Lu Qinghe: "I just feel a little emotional. Thinking back to the time I sent Zhao Zimo to school, it seems like it was just yesterday. But this year, I'm almost 30 years old."
Zhao Zhanming glanced at his lover in the rearview mirror.
Time flies, but Lu Qinghe looks the same as before. She still has a girlish face, bright eyes and eyebrows, and a bit of calmness and elegance brought by time.
"I can't tell." Zhao Zhanming said sincerely, "Time has passed quickly, but Qinghe, I still have the same feeling about you as when I first met you."
Lu Qinghe smiled, and the two dimples she had before became more obvious as she grew fatter.
"You just know how to make me happy."
"To be honest, if you don't believe me, ask the children."
Zhao Zimo immediately turned his head and looked over. "Aunt Lu, it's true. Every time you come to see me off, my classmates always say you look young."
"Mom will never grow old!" Zhao Zirui said quickly and attentively.
"Then Mom would be a monster from Journey to the West!" Lu Yao said, quickly covering her mouth. "No, even if Mom is a monster, she'd be a super beautiful, beautiful monster."
Lu Yang shook his head: "It's a fairy, my mother is a fairy."
"Alright, alright, if you keep flattering me, I'll really float to the sky."
Lu Yao hugged Lu Qinghe tightly, "No, it's best for Mom to stay home."
Now that the children have grown up, Lu Yao is still the one who likes to stick to Lu Qinghe the most. Even though they are in middle school now, she still hugs Lu Qinghe every day.
However, Lu Qinghe also likes the feeling of being relied upon.
Her Lu Yao is not a person without backbone and independence. She only relies on her mother at home.
The same was true for the other two younger ones, but they were boys after all, and as they grew older, their more intimate actions gradually became less frequent.
While patting Lu Yao's arm, Lu Qinghe suddenly smelled the scent of popcorn coming from outside the window.
Lu Yao wanted to get off the car to buy some popcorn, but when Lu Qinghe smelled it, he felt like something was suddenly blocked in his throat, and a feeling of nausea rushed to his head.
Zhao Zhanming parked the car on the side of the road, gave Lu Yao money and asked her to buy popcorn. When he turned around, he found that Lu Qinghe was frowning and patting his chest.
"What's wrong, Qinghe?" Zhao Zhanming nervously opened the car door and bent down to ask.
"I don't know." Lu Qinghe frowned. "I feel a little nauseous when I smell this smell. Maybe I ate too much at noon."
Zhao Zhanming recalled, "You only had one bowl of beef offal noodles at noon, and nothing else. That's not much."
"That's motion sickness."
Lu Qinghe still felt uncomfortable, and she held Zhao Zhanming's arm tightly with her fingers: "Help me to the green belt next to me, I might really vomit."
Zhao Zhanming hurriedly carried the person to the side, watched Lu Qinghe bend over, and kept stroking her back up and down.
"I've never seen you get carsick before, why are you like this today?"
Zhao Zhanming even began to reflect on himself, "Maybe I was driving too fast when I turned just now."
Lu Qinghe wiped the corners of his mouth with a handkerchief and shook his head: "No, it's just the smell of popcorn that makes me feel uncomfortable. I always feel that greasy smell is very uncomfortable."
"I remember buying popcorn for Lu Yao just last month." Zhao Zimo found Zhao Zhanming's thermos cup in the car and handed it to Lu Qinghe. "Auntie, try drinking some hot water."
In fact, Lu Qinghe vomited for a long time but didn't vomit anything out.
But the feeling of nausea still kept coming up.
After Lu Yao and the others came back, Lu Qinghe quickly said, "Let's go somewhere else where we can't smell this smell."
"Then I won't eat this." Lu Yao wrinkled her face, but she felt it was a waste to throw it away, so she simply threw it into the trunk.
Lu Qinghe laughed, "It's okay, you can eat it when you get home."
After saying that, an idea flashed through Lu Qinghe's mind.
No way... maybe she's pregnant.
Lu Qinghe and Zhao Zhanming agreed on the matter of having children, and both felt that it was best to let nature take its course.
Although their family urged them to have sex, and the two of them did not take any contraceptive measures, there was no response from Lu Qinghe. Gradually, Lu Qinghe no longer cared about it.
This year marks the sixth anniversary of their marriage.
In the first two years, Lu Qinghe was busy adapting to the environment here, and the children at home were still young. After Zhao Zimo went to the sports school, Lu Qinghe had the time to go to the Hua City Academy of Fine Arts for further studies.
I have to go to classes, occasionally submit manuscripts to the Propaganda Department, and take on small jobs.
Fortunately, the children are all grown up, so Lu Qinghe only needs to concentrate on painting. The past few years have been quite relaxing. She even thought about talking to Zhao Zhanming and just using contraception for another year, waiting until the next semester is over and they officially graduate before slowly having a child. It’s not likely that the little one will come this year.
Lu Qinghe: "Old Zhao."
"What's wrong? Are you still feeling uncomfortable? How about I park the car and we go to a nearby park for a walk so I can accompany you to get some fresh air?"
"Need not."
Lu Qinghe said softly, "The Armed Police Hospital is just ahead, why don't we go get a checkup?"
Lu Qinghe said she wanted to go for a check-up, so she must be feeling very uncomfortable.
Zhao Zhanming became even more nervous and unconsciously sped up a bit.
When registering, Zhao Zhanming was supposed to accompany Lu Qinghe to the gastroenterology department, but was poked by Lu Qinghe from behind.
"Go to the obstetrics and gynecology department."
Zhao Zhanming was stunned and turned around, "You mean..."
Lu Qinghe looked at him and nodded: "I was just guessing, otherwise why would you suddenly feel like vomiting? If not, let's go check your stomach again."
Zhao Zhanming was obviously a little excited, but he was afraid that this guess would affect Lu Qinghe again. He suppressed the excitement in his heart, found a seat for Lu Qinghe, and then went to register.
Several children followed Lu Qinghe worriedly.
Lu Qinghe: "The hospital is crowded. I'm going to get checked later, and it's not convenient for you to follow me. Besides, what if I run into someone with a cold, fever, or virus? Wait a minute, let Dad take you home first."
"No." Lu Yao's face was filled with worry. "I want to accompany my mother for the checkup. I'm afraid she'll be scared."
Lu Yang was obedient. "I think it's better to go back so that Mom can have peace of mind for the examination."
Just as I was struggling with this, I ran into Ye Yulian who was just about to get off work.
"Qinghe?"
Ye Yulian had just changed out of her white coat and was surprised to see Lu Qinghe. She walked over and listened to her story. She immediately said, "I'll take care of the child for a while. You two go get checked."
Lu Qinghe breathed a sigh of relief: "That's fine too, thank you Sister Yulian."
"You're welcome."
Only after the two of them finished talking did Ye Yulian suddenly think of something.
"You mean...your old Zhao is here too?"
Lu Qinghe also reacted and nodded with a smile: "Yeah."
Soon Zhao Zhanming came back. Ye Yulian became obviously much more reserved. She kept looking at Zhao Zhanming, as if she wanted to engrave his appearance in her mind.
"This is..."
"Ye Yulian, I mentioned it to you before."
Zhao Zhanming was also taken aback, but he quickly reacted, "Hello Comrade Ye, thank you for your help."
"You're welcome." Ye Yulian suppressed her bitterness and said with a smile, "Go ahead. I'll take care of the child. Don't worry."
“Hey.”
After going upstairs, Lu Qinghe said, "You know what, it looked like you two really look a bit alike just now."
Zhao Zhanming had never met the Ye family before, this was the first time.
The environment was still very tense in 1971, and it was not until 1973 that it would ease somewhat. Fortunately, the old couple of the Ye family were both young and in good health, so there was no need to worry about not being able to see each other in the future.
"I don't feel anything." Zhao Zhanming said, his eyes more worried about Lu Qinghe: "It doesn't matter whether you are pregnant or not. I am worried that you really are feeling unwell."
"After arriving at the hospital, I felt much better. Maybe it was because of the smell."
Lu Qinghe said as he entered the examination room.
The results came out quickly, and Lu Qinghe did have a little life in her belly.
After getting the results, Lu Qinghe was still a little confused.
"Old Zhao, although I guessed some things before, after I confirmed the news, I still felt like I was in a dream."
She wanted to say that this was her first time having a child.
But thinking of Lu Yao and Lu Yang, he shut up in time.
Zhao Zhanming was in a similar condition as her, but he took the results to ask the doctor about many precautions before accompanying Lu Qinghe to do another blood test.
The children knew that their mother was fine, but since she had a child, they were all extremely curious.
"There's a baby in here."
After saying goodbye to Ye Yulian, Lu Qinghe and the others returned home.
Lu Yao looked at Lu Qinghe's belly and cautiously reached out her hand: "Can I touch it?"
Lu Qinghe smiled: "I don't feel anything yet. I'll feel fetal movement when the pregnancy is further along."
"I see."
Zhao Zimo brought Lu Qinghe some water and said, "I'm at home this summer. After the summer, I'll be going to the provincial team. I won't be able to help take care of Aunt Lu then, so I'll take care of all the housework for the next two months."
Zhao Zhanming raised his eyebrows: "Do as you say."
"It's a must."
Lu Qinghe quickly said, "That won't work. Cooking isn't the only thing we have to do at home. He has to go to training all by himself. He's too busy to handle it."
Zhao Zhanming smiled and said, "I was just teasing her. I was thinking it would be better for us to find someone to help."
"Ask Auntie or..." Lu Qinghe thought for a moment, "Write a letter to my mother and ask her to come and take care of me. I wonder if she's willing."
"This is the best way. You will feel more comfortable with your family around, and they will be familiar with your habits. Then we can pay our mother a salary."
"I'll write and ask."
Lu Qinghe was worried that Xue Lanhua would worry about the affairs of her eldest and second brothers at home, after all, there were several children in the family.
But she was obviously overthinking it.
A week later, Xue Lanhua learned that her daughter was finally pregnant after many years of marriage. She was so happy that she immediately went into the house to pack her luggage. If Lu Fengshou had not stopped her, she would have come over that day.
"It's noon now. You won't be able to catch the train. Try going tomorrow."
Xue Lanhua thought about it and agreed. She smiled and said, "I thought you wouldn't let me go."
Lu Fengshou snorted, "You think too little of me. How can I be vague about this matter?"
"You still know how to love your daughter."
Lu Fengshou: "Last year, I saw the pictorial that Captain Zhao brought back. Our Qinghe is a celebrity now. In the future, she might be the most promising person in our family... no, in our town. If I don't love her, who else can I love?"
