Baby Marriage

Ever since Meng Cheng brainwashed him into working hard and making a breakthrough, Meng Zheng has changed his lazy image. He no longer stays in bed in the morning. Basically, as soon as Ye Min calls him, he gets up quickly.

I no longer thought about being lazy during the physical training. I ran for half an hour without stopping for a second, and I also gritted my teeth and finished the horse stance for the time set by Meng Cheng.

After each training session, Meng Zheng was sweating all over and his legs were shaking.

It's not that he hasn't thought about giving up, but every time he heard Meng Cheng say that he would be the weakest in the family in the future, he felt that he couldn't do that and gritted his teeth to endure another day.

After persisting for half a month, Meng Zheng felt that physical training was not so difficult anymore.

In fact, Meng Zheng was able to persevere not only because he did not want to be the weakest in the family, but also because Ye Min had already learned the first set of sixteen movements of military boxing.

Although Meng Cheng could find many problems when Ye Min was practicing, such as her leg wasn't raised high enough or her punching was too slow, but every morning when she practiced sixteen moves in a row in the yard, everyone who passed by could only think of one word - cool!

Adults might just take a look and forget about it, but who among children doesn’t have a dream of being a hero? They were extremely envious when they saw Ye Min practicing martial arts.

For a long time, the topic of conversation among the children in the compound was Ye Min. Someone even noticed that Meng Zheng was also doing horse stance and asked him if he wanted to practice martial arts too.

Meng Zheng felt proud and said yes, and also said that his father said that after he persisted in physical training for two months, he would also teach him military boxing.

When the friends heard this, they were all envious, especially Dongdong, because he was a little older and was the eldest of the three children. After knowing that Meng Zheng wanted to practice martial arts, they immediately changed their words and called him the eldest, and asked him if he could teach them after he learned it.

Because the two families lived close to each other and were of similar age, the first friend Meng Zheng met after joining the army was Dongdong. So when Dongdong mentioned it, Meng Zheng agreed, and then asked him to exercise with him, and by the way, he told his good friend the theory of building a house that his father had told him.

Dongdong's elder brother Feng Qingping is twelve years old this year. He became addicted to comic books, which told him many heroic stories. So Dongdong was obsessed with martial arts training at the time. When he heard his friend's words, he immediately said that he would stick to it and never give up!

In fact, after only a few days of training, I felt that I couldn't bear it anymore and wanted to give up, but when I thought about the lofty words I had said before the training, I felt a little embarrassed.

There were times when Meng Zheng wanted to give up, but when he thought that his apprentice had not given up, he could not hold on as a master and could not lose face.

Well, although there is no master-disciple relationship between Meng Zheng and Dong Dong, in his heart he regards his good friend as a disciple.

In short, the master and the disciple looked at each other, and neither of them was embarrassed to say that they couldn't bear it, so they gritted their teeth and persevered day after day.

The two adults, seeing their respective little thoughts, just smiled and said nothing.

…

Unlike Meng Zhengdong who had to grit his teeth and persevere, Ye Min's training has gradually got on the right track. Since she started hitting the sandbag, the strength of her punches has steadily increased, and she is no longer as afraid of pain as before.

She also has abdominal muscles, but they are not very obvious, and she doesn't have eight packs like Meng Cheng. However, her body lines are better looking than before she gave birth to Meng Zheng, especially her waist, which is much thinner and there is no trace of fat.

If there is anything wrong with practicing martial arts, it should be that she has scars on her hands, and the joints on the back of her hands are all caused by being hit by sandbags, so the skin on her hands does not feel as smooth as before.

But Ye Min felt that this disadvantage was very insignificant compared to the benefits of staying alive, and she didn't care.

But that night, after taking a shower, she returned to her room and sat in front of the dressing table to take off her hair. But when she saw the Friendship Hand Cream on the table, she couldn't help but smile.

But she did not open the box of hand cream. She still took off her half-dry hair as planned, combed it with a wooden comb, and then wiped it dry bit by bit with a towel. She returned to the bed and sat down, watching the brother and sister fighting.

Because they were all very busy during the day, Meng Cheng was used to washing all his clothes after taking a shower, so that they would have less work to do the next day. So although Meng Cheng took a quick shower, it was already an hour before he returned to his room.

An An was tired from playing and fell asleep with his eyes closed. Meng Zheng was also driven back to the room by Ye Min, but just like he liked to stay in bed in the morning, he also liked to take his time to sleep at night.

So after Meng Cheng entered the house, he went to the second bedroom first to take a look, and only returned to the master bedroom after seeing Meng Zheng fall asleep.

After entering the room, Meng Cheng first glanced at the dressing table and saw that the position of the hand cream on it had not changed. He hesitated and asked, "Don't you use hand cream?"

"What hand cream?" Ye Min asked pretending to be stupid.

Meng Cheng picked up the hand cream, walked to the bedside and handed it to Ye Min: "This."

"There really is hand cream? Where did it come from?" Ye Min continued to play dumb, took the hand cream, opened it, squeezed out some, smelled it and asked.

Meng Cheng sat down next to Ye Min, looking a little uncomfortable: "I asked Lao Ding to help bring it."

"Why did you ask Ding Yang to help bring hand cream?"

"Didn't you say a few days ago that your hands seemed to have become thicker? I heard that hand cream is helpful."

"Oh~~" Ye Min deliberately dragged out the sound and asked, "Then why didn't you give it to me in person, but deliberately put it on the dressing table, waiting for me to find it myself?"

Upon hearing this, Meng Cheng knew that her claim of not seeing the hand cream was false. Come to think of it, she must have been to the dressing table after applying the vanishing cream. How could she not see such a big bottle of hand cream on it?

Meng Cheng coughed and said, "I want to give you a surprise."

Ye Min asked with a smile: "Are you surprised or embarrassed?"

Meng Cheng was a little embarrassed by the question, so he simply reached out and pulled her into his arms, bent down and kissed her lips and said, "Shall we sleep later tonight?"

Ye Min ignored him, lowered her head, rubbed her hands and said, "I'm applying hand cream."

Meng Cheng closed the hand cream and put it on the bedside table, then kissed Ye Min again: "It's okay, you take your time, and I'll take my time too."

Ye Min sneered: "You are such a person. You have no shame at all when you say such things. You are embarrassed to give a gift."

Meng Cheng is indeed such a person, but the things have been delivered, so he is very shameless and says without hesitation: "I am introverted."

Ye Min chuckled, and was a little itchy from his kiss. However, she didn't dare to laugh too loudly when she thought of her daughter who had just fallen asleep. She could only cover her mouth with her hand that had just been rubbed with hand cream, and glared at him, saying in a low voice, "That's enough!"

Meng Cheng laughed softly, lowered his head and kissed Ye Min's lips, and said in a low voice: "I'll help you block the sound."

…

Because he slept a little late the day before, Ye Min got up late the next day. He didn't have time to do physical training, so he just started practicing boxing.

Meng Zheng was also lazy like Ye Min, but he was very good at finding excuses from others. He said to Ye Min with great sorrow: "Mom, how could you be so lazy? If you don't wake me up, how can I get up? How can I exercise today?"

Ye Min gritted his teeth and asked threateningly, "How about I wake you up before dawn tomorrow morning?"

Meng Zheng was immediately frightened, but for the sake of practicing martial arts, he still mustered up the courage to go to his father to bargain. He felt that the interruption of training today was not his problem, so the time for physical training could not be restarted.

Meng Cheng chuckled: "If you have this much skill, why don't you practice horse stance for two more minutes?"

Meng Zheng was not afraid of his father, so he continued to ask, "Do I have to practice again tomorrow?"

"Need not."

Meng Zheng was relieved and said happily, "I'm going to do horse stance now." He then pulled his good friend aside and explained softly, "Although we stopped training for a day today, it's not our fault, so we don't have to start over."

In fact, this matter had nothing to do with Dongdong. Although Meng Zheng slept in, he got up at about the same time as usual. Because he was bored waiting, he went out for a few laps. He didn't stop training.

But Meng Zheng didn't care whether his apprentice's training stopped or not. He had to explain it anyway, otherwise it would affect his image as a master!

In short, this matter is all due to the lack of help from his parents. He is not being lazy on purpose!

Because there was no physical exercise in the morning, Ye Min didn't sweat much. She didn't take a shower after the exercise. After breakfast, she went out with Meng Cheng and the two children.

When we arrived at Ding's house, Ding Yang had already gone to work, but Qian Xiaoyun hadn't gotten up yet. When she heard the noise and came to open the door, she was still a little dazed.

Ye Min saw him and asked, "Why haven't you gotten up yet?"

"I've been sleeping a lot lately and I feel sleepy easily." Qian Xiaoyun yawned and waved at An An, "Leave An An to me, you guys go to work."

Ye Min felt that Qian Xiaoyun was not in a good condition. Although people say that people feel sleepy in spring and tired in summer, Qian Xiaoyun is not the kind of person who can't wake up. Even though she has not been to work since she joined the army, she always gets up early.

But these days, when I go to her house in the morning, she is either not fully awake or wakes up but still feels sleepy, as if she is pregnant.

As soon as this thought came to mind, Ye Min couldn't help but look at Qian Xiaoyun's belly twice. Her pajamas were loose, and her belly was not noticeable in the early stages of pregnancy, so it was really hard to see anything.

Ye Min wanted to check Qian Xiaoyun's pulse, but it was almost time to go to work, so she didn't say much. She planned to come over at noon to check Qian Xiaoyun carefully.

Coincidentally, Ye Min suspected Qian Xiaoyun was pregnant in the morning, and found a pregnant woman in the morning. The woman had already given birth to four children, but was still dizzy about this. She said that she always felt like vomiting recently and was worried that there was something wrong with her stomach, so she came to the hospital.

When Ye Min told her that she was pregnant, she did not show any joy on her face. She even said with a gloomy face: "Xiao Ye, are you mistaken? I haven't been pregnant for many years. How come I'm pregnant all of a sudden?"

The pregnant military wife is called Chai Guihong, she is 36 years old this year. Because she got married early, she gave birth to her children very early. The eldest child is already 16 years old this year, and the youngest is 8 years old.

After the fourth child was born, she hasn't had any good news since then, so it's no wonder she couldn't believe it.

But the reason why she didn't want to believe it was not just this. There was also the fact that her family already had four children, which was a heavy burden and she didn't want to have another one. She also felt that it would be embarrassing if the news got out that she was pregnant at such an old age.

She looked at Ye Min expectantly: "Apart from feeling sick, I don't have any other symptoms. Comrade Xiao Ye, can you help me see how I could be pregnant?"

Ye Min had no choice but to feel her pulse again. The judgment was still the same. Seeing that she still didn't want to believe it, he said, "If you really don't believe it, I can talk to Mr. Dong and let him feel your pulse again."

Upon hearing this, Chai Guihong looked inside the clinic and asked softly, "Is it OK?"

"Please sit down for a while." Ye Min stood up, walked to Dr. Dong who had just finished seeing a patient, and explained the situation in a low voice.

After hearing this, Mr. Dong hesitated for a moment, then stood up with Ye Min and walked to her desk and sat down, motioning for Chai Guihong to stretch out her hand. He felt her pulse and asked a few questions in a low voice, then confirmed, "It's a pregnancy pulse, it should be one and a half months."

After the diagnosis, Mr. Dong returned to his desk, while Ye Min sat down to comfort Chai Guihong, who looked unhappy: "Don't be too nervous. You are only 36 years old, which is not old. It is normal to be pregnant. If anyone whispers about you behind your back, tell me and I will take you to complain to Director Li!"

Chai Guihong's expression eased a little after hearing this, and she said, "I'm not just worried about this. We already have four children at home, how are we going to get by with another one?"

"Life may be difficult in the short term, but isn't your eldest son about to graduate from high school? I heard that he wants to join the army? Once he joins the army, he will be provided with food and drink by the army, so you guys can relax, right?"

In fact, Ye Min could have avoided telling Chai Guihong so much, but a child born out of the expectations of his parents would inevitably suffer in the process of growing up. She was not sure if what she said would be useful, but it was easy to talk, and if it could make Chai Guihong change her mind, it would be a good thing.

Ye Min continued, "Just grit your teeth and get through these two years. When the children grow up, it will be time for you to enjoy your life."

"You're right. It's just these two years. We just have to get through it." Chai Guihong sighed, but she was in better spirits than before. She thanked Ye Min and left.

Dr. Dong didn't see many patients that morning, and the number of those who came to see Ye Min could be counted on one hand. It wasn't very busy, and everyone left with their lunch boxes at the appointed time.

When Ye Min saw the braised fish in the canteen, she thought about it and skipped it, ordering sour soup chicken for both meals.

Arriving at Qian Xiaoyun's house, she smelled the food and her appetite was whetted. However, she saw two identical dishes and asked casually, "Only one dish of pickled mustard greens is served today."

"There is also a braised fish dish, which I don't like. You," Ye Min held An An in her arms and looked up at her, saying meaningfully, "I guess you can't eat it."

Qian Xiaoyun hadn't reacted yet and asked, "Why can't I eat?"

"How long has it been since you had your period?"

"About a month."

Qian Xiaoyun was not completely stupid. He was stunned as soon as he finished speaking: "No way, I don't feel anything?"

"You are getting sleepier every day, don't you feel it?" Ye Min asked back, and asked Qian Xiaoyun to stretch out his hand, "Let me show you."

Qian Xiaoyun sat down and placed her hand on the table. Ye Min also placed her fingers on it, carefully feeling her pulse.

Seeing their actions, An An leaned forward, stretched out her hands, placed them on other parts of Qian Xiaoyun's arms, and closed her eyes like her mother.

After a long while, Ye Min said, "It's a short time, so I can't be very accurate, but I think it's possible."

An An also opened her eyes and said, imitating Ye Min's words: "Got it!"

Ye Min touched An An's face with amusement: "You know this again?"

The little girl understood what her mother said, raised her head and snorted heavily, her expression was so arrogant. Ye Min laughed even harder and joked with Qian Xiaoyun: "An An is also sure that you are pregnant, and she was not happy when I questioned her."

Qian Xiaoyun couldn't help laughing, but he couldn't believe it: "Really? Did you touch it wrongly?"

Ye Min pretended to sigh helplessly: "You are the second person today who has questioned my misdiagnosis."

Qian Xiaoyun felt embarrassed when he heard this: "That's not what I meant. I just felt it was too sudden and I was very surprised, so I wanted to confirm it again."

"Don't worry, I'm not sad." Ye Min stopped teasing Qian Xiaoyun and said seriously, "Your pulse is smooth and strong, so you are pregnant. But because the time is short, it's best to observe for another half a month. Be careful during this time."

"Okay." Qian Xiaoyun agreed immediately. After dividing the food, he took a bite of the rice soaked in sour soup and said, "I remember that I like sour food a lot recently."

"Sour boy, spicy girl."

"I would rather have a daughter." Qian Xiaoyun pinched An An's cheeks and said, "It would be even better if she was as cute as An An!"

Ye Min jokingly asked, "Isn't it enough that you have An An as your goddaughter?"

"Enough, of course!" Qian Xiaoyun said, tapping his abacus, "Of course, if you are willing to let me raise An An, that would be even more enough!"

Ye Min decisively changed the subject: "I wish you a daughter!"

Qian Xiaoyun laughed even harder.

After laughing, I thought again: "Do you think I should tell Ding Yang about this now?"

"Speak up, why don't you speak up?"

"What if something unexpected happens and I'm not pregnant?"

"It's not this time, but it will happen again in the future. There's nothing wrong with this between husband and wife." Ye Min said, "He doesn't know anything, so it's inevitable that he will be clumsy. If he hurts the child, you will regret it."

Qian Xiaoyun thought about it and nodded, "Then I'll talk to him about this when he comes back."

"Um."

…

Because he had a bicycle, as long as there was no major incident in the camp that delayed him, Ding Yang was always the first one to get home in the compound.

Today was no exception. Ding Yang rode his bicycle all the way home, parked the bike and went into the kitchen. He tiptoed to the stove, let out a "huh" and suddenly went forward to hug Qian Xiaoyun.

His action was so sudden that Qian Xiaoyun was so frightened that he loosened his grip and the spatula fell into the iron pot. He turned around and saw him, then he breathed a sigh of relief. He patted his chest and said, "You scared me!"

"Can I apologize to you?" Ding Yang hugged her waist, kissed her and said sorry.

Qian Xiaoyun felt embarrassed and pushed his face with his hand: "That's enough, it's not dark yet."

"No one came in again." Ding Yang said, then he thought, "Where's An An?"

"Zhengzheng came over right after school. He was playing with his sister in the house."

Ding Yang said, "Then give me another kiss."

The two chatted for a while, and soon Ye Min and his wife came over and took Meng Zheng and his sister home. Before leaving, Ye Min deliberately winked at Qian Xiaoyun and asked her if she had told Ding Yang.

Qian Xiaoyun whispered, "Later."

The two of them spoke evasively, but they didn't completely avoid people. This aroused Ding Yang's curiosity. After Ye Min's family of four left, he chased Qian Xiaoyun back to the kitchen and asked, "What did you just say to Xiao Ye?"

"She didn't say anything." Qian Xiaoyun said lightly, "She just told me that I might be pregnant."

"Why do I feel that..." There is something weird about you two.

Ding Yang hadn't finished speaking when he heard Qian Xiaoyun's second half of the sentence. His voice suddenly stopped. It took him a while to react. He widened his eyes and asked, "What did you say?"

Qian Xiaoyun snorted softly: "Forget it if you didn't hear it."

How could Ding Yang not have heard it? He picked up Qian Xiaoyun and put his ear to her belly and asked in surprise and joy: "Are you really pregnant? How long have you been pregnant?"

Suddenly being held in the air, Qian Xiaoyun uttered "Ah" and then put his hands on Ding Yang's shoulders, saying angrily and amusedly: "It's only been a month, what can you hear?"

Ding Yang put Qian Xiaoyun down, but his expression was not disappointed. He calculated: "One month, that is, mid-April, in February next year, I can become a father?"

Qian Xiaoyun poured cold water on him and said, "It's not certain yet. Minmin said that time is short now, so it's best to wait half a month and see."

Ding Yang didn't think so, and said, "My sister-in-law is a cautious person. She said she is pregnant, so it is probably true." But seeing the expression on his wife's face, he quickly changed his words, "Since she said to wait for half a month, then let's wait a little longer."

…

Meng Cheng also asked a similar question, but Ye Min, considering that she was still unsure whether she was pregnant, only replied, "It's Xiaoyun's private matter."

After hearing this, Meng Cheng stopped asking.

Although the two families had a good relationship, he and Qian Xiaoyun always kept a distance, and he would never do anything like asking about the private affairs of his brother's wife.

However, the next morning, he learned from Ding Yang himself what the "private matter" that Ye Min was talking about was.

Then in the afternoon, he and Ding Yang had a quarrel.

When they went to pick up An An after get off work, the two of them met without saying a word. Ding Yang even snorted heavily. People in their late twenties were no different from children when they quarreled. Ye Min and Qian Xiaoyun knew something was wrong at the first sight.

When we got home and asked about the situation, we were both amused and confused.

The reason for the quarrel between the two was actually very simple. Because the two families had a good relationship, after learning that Qian Xiaoyun was pregnant, they both wanted to arrange a baby marriage with the other.

However, Ding Yang thought that Qian Xiaoyun gave birth to a son, so they arranged a marriage for the two.

Because Ding Yang felt that if the baby was a girl, the target of the marriage would definitely be Meng Zheng. Although Meng Zheng was a good person, he was almost five years older than his daughter. There was a generation gap of three years, and it was almost a generation gap of two years. It was not suitable.

If it were a son, the person to be married off would definitely be An An. A girl three years older than a man is more likely to hold a golden brick. She is two years older than his son, so she will soon be able to hold a golden brick, which is great.

Meng Cheng had a lot of opinions after hearing this. He felt that Ding Yang herself was three years older than Qian Xiaoyun, so why didn't she mention the three-year generation gap during the blind date?

Besides, men tend to be caring when they are older, and Ding Yang has admitted that his son is a good person. If Qian Xiaoyun gives birth to a daughter, wouldn't it be a good idea for their two families to arrange an marriage for the children?

On the contrary, if Qian Xiaoyun had given birth to a son, he would definitely not do it.

Men mature late, and their peers may not be caring. If he is a few years younger, wouldn't he be taking care of his younger brother? If Ding Yang's son has a calm personality, it would be fine. But if the eldest son is ignorant, how hard it will be for his daughter after marriage!

Seeing that Ding Yang was still a fool at the age of nearly 30, Meng Cheng was not optimistic about his future personality. So if Qian Xiaoyun was pregnant with a boy, it would be better not to have this child marriage.

Taking a step back, a woman's marriage is like a second reincarnation. His son is already four years old, and if he is three years old, his personality will not be bad when he grows up. But Ding Yang's son is still an embryo, and no one knows what he will grow up to be.

Of course it would be better to arrange a marriage for his son with Miss Ding Yang.

Ding Yang refused to do it, so the two parted unhappily.

After Ye Min and Qian Xiaoyun figured out the reason for their quarrel, they felt that the two of them were scheming against each other and it was no wonder that they were quarreling.

It's a new society now, but they still engage in arranged marriages. These two people must have nothing better to do!

After they criticized each other, the child marriage was called off.
