Being watched by so many people, Wu Shuhui felt a little embarrassed and hid behind Su Congwu.
Zhang Xinlan glared at Su Congwu, "Hurry up and tell me!"
"Didn't I tell you?" Su Congwu chuckled, "Shuhui is pregnant, and I'm going to be a father."
"No, you bastard, when did this happen?" Zhang Xinlan looked incredulous, "Why didn't you say anything? You have such a big heart!" How dare you hide such a big thing from her?
The more she thought about it, the angrier she became, and she slapped Su Congwu on the head.
"I'm not hiding it. I just found out about it." Su Congwu looked aggrieved. "The diagnosis was only made two days ago. I was thinking of telling you the good news today, as a surprise for you."
Su Qingyun couldn't help but say, "Third brother, you're so sudden, it's not a surprise, it's a shock."
Her second brother found a girlfriend out of the blue and got pregnant out of the blue too. She estimated that if the family members were scared by him a few more times, their blood pressure would rise.
Su Aimin was stunned. What did he say in the morning? He asked Congwu to hurry up. This was too much. She got pregnant in the blink of an eye?
"Aren't I just thinking about double happiness?" Su Congwu said proudly.
"It's true that she's pregnant." After confirming that Wu Shuhui was really pregnant, Zhang Xinlan's eyebrows lit up with joy. She quickly pulled Wu Shuhui to sit down, "Come on, Shuhui, sit down quickly. Don't get tired."
"Mom, it's not that exaggerated. During the examination, the doctor said the baby is only one month old and I can't even feel it." Wu Shuhui said with a smile. To be honest, she doesn't even feel the reality of being pregnant now.
She touched her belly, still a little bit unbelievable. She still felt like a little girl, so how come she was pregnant with a baby?
"That needs attention as well." Zhang Xinlan disagreed.
At this time, she had completely forgotten what she had said before, "Women are born with the ability to give birth. They don't need to be too careful, and the baby will be born naturally."
Su Qingyun found it a little funny. It turned out that people are all hypocritical.
The other members of the Su family were also pleasantly surprised. They surrounded Wu Shuhui, asking about her well-being and caring about her health. Especially Wen Sisi, who held her hand and carefully shared some of her experiences as a person who had been through this, and they had a very happy chat.
Su Congwu, who was squeezed into a corner, said: "..." No, this child is Shuhui's alone? It has nothing to do with him, right? As a father who is about to become a father, does he have no sense of existence at all?
"The food is here, everyone get ready to eat." Su Congjun, who was cooking in the kitchen, shouted and brought out the food.
Everyone stood up and helped to serve the dishes. Two large tables were put together in the small living room, which seemed a bit cramped. It was a bit crowded with more than a dozen people sitting together, but everyone was cheerful and didn't care about these details at all. It was cold, so it was fun to sit together.
The table was filled with steaming hot food, which was very rich. It was all prepared by Wen's mother and Su Congjun since early in the morning.
"Everyone, please start eating. It's cold now. If the food gets cold soon, it won't taste good." Mother Wen greeted everyone.
It was not yet the era of centralized heating, and the most we could do was burn coal for heating. However, every family in this city had a fixed amount of coal per month, and most people were reluctant to use it easily.
However, Su Congjun and Wen Sisi's family lived a very comfortable life with the help of two families on both sides, so they naturally would not be reluctant to spend this little coal. Look, two pots of charcoal fire were burning brightly next to the table, and the windows were open, otherwise the carbon dioxide concentration would be high, which would be terrible.
Everyone started eating and praising Mother Wen's cooking skills. Su Qingyun was closer to Mother Wen and she was the youngest, so Mother Wen kept picking up food for her with a gentle expression. "Qingyun said before that she wanted to eat my cooking often. You are too busy and don't have much time to come. Eat more today."
"Okay, thank you, auntie. I won't be polite." Su Qingyun smiled with curved eyebrows and looked extremely well-behaved.
Mother Wen smiled even more. Who could not love such a smart and outstanding daughter?
"Everyone, try this chicken stewed with mushrooms. The mushrooms are the hazel mushrooms that my in-laws sent last time. They are so delicious. You guys drink the soup first to warm it up. I'll serve everyone." After saying this, Mother Wen was about to stand up.
"No need, mother-in-law, you've been busy all morning, so don't bother to ask me to do it. We can do it ourselves. We have hands." Li Xiu Lian quickly pulled her to sit down and said.
"Okay, then we'll just take care of ourselves."
"That's right, we're family, no need to be so polite."
After Li Xiulian finished speaking, she immediately poured a bowl of chicken soup for Wen Sisi and said softly, "Sisi, come here, drink some first."
"Thank you, Mom."
Mother Wen looked at her mother-in-law who was more attentive to her daughter than herself, and a smile appeared in her eyes.
Seeing this, Zhang Xinlan immediately served Wu Shuhui a bowl of soup and said with a smile, "Shuhui, drink the soup."
"...Thank you, Mom." Zhang Xinlan's attitude was not a 180-degree turn, but it was completely different from before. Wu Shuhui was a little flattered.
Father Wen held up the bottle of wine and said to the men at the table, "Today is a good day. Let's have a couple of drinks. This is the wine our factory gave us. It's pretty good. Let's try it."
"Sure, dear relatives, let's have a drink." Su Aiguo said immediately.
Su Ai Dang nodded, "Okay."
Su Aimin immediately apologized, "I'm sorry, I don't drink, so I just drank water instead." He really didn't drink much.
"That's fine, as long as the intention is there." Father Wen didn't force it. Drinking should be a matter of mutual consent. It's pointless to keep persuading others to drink.
Father Wen opened the wine and poured the first glass to Su Dalin. "Uncle, try this wine. How does it taste?"
Su Dalin picked up the cup, took a sip, and then sipped it carefully in his mouth. He nodded and said, "Not bad." Nowadays, most of the wine is pure grain wine, so the taste is naturally good.
"Then drink more."
"Um."
Wu Guixiang glanced at Su Dalin and saw that he looked happy, so she didn't say anything. After all, it was a holiday, so it was okay for him to drink a little more.
Father Wen continued to pour for others, and then everyone, whether drinking alcohol or water, raised their glasses together.
Everyone shouted together, "Happy New Year!"
The cups clinked together, making a crisp sound, like the sound of bidding farewell to the old and welcoming the new.
Everyone ate, drank and chatted. The men drank a lot of wine, their faces turned red and their bodies warmed up.
The atmosphere in the small house was warm. Although it was winter, it felt as warm as spring.
All the disappointments and gloom of the past year have dissipated in this lively banquet. In the new year, with new expectations, things will be better for all of them.
