After returning from the military hospital, Yun Qiao called Feng Juan immediately.
While waiting for the transfer, He Tingjun kept staring at Yun Qiao's belly and grinning, with the corners of his mouth almost reaching his ears.
Yun Qiao glared at him and said, "Stop staring at her. Even if you keep looking at her, the baby won't come out of her belly."
Only then did He Tingjun retract his gaze.
The announcer in the broadcasting room laughed when he heard this and asked, "Is Doctor Qin pregnant?"
Yun Qiao nodded: "Yes, I just found out."
"Congratulations," the announcer said with a smile. "You and your wife are both very handsome. Your future children will surely be good-looking too."
"I'll give you my good wishes."
After waiting for more than half an hour, the call was finally connected.
The operator handed the receiver to Yun Qiao, who heard Aunt Feng's voice: "Hello? Who is this?"
When Yun Qiao heard Aunt Feng's voice, she immediately said, "Grandma, it's me, Yun Qiao."
"It's Yunqiao! Your mother has been waiting for your call since yesterday." Aunt Feng's cheerful voice came from the phone: "Wait, I'll call your mother for you."
Yun Qiao replied with an "OK" and heard Aunt Feng's voice fading away on the phone: "Xiaojuan! Xiaojuan... Yun Qiao is calling, come and answer it."
After more than ten seconds, the phone was picked up again, this time it was Feng Juan.
"Hello, Yun Qiao."
"Hey, Mom." Yun Qiao's lips curled up into a smile unconsciously: "Happy birthday, Mom! I have good news to tell you tomorrow."
"What good news?" Feng Juan asked softly.
"I'm pregnant." Yun Qiao smiled and said, "Mom, you're going to be a grandmother."
"Okay, okay." Feng Juan said three "Okays" in a row, and then asked Yun Qiao carefully: "How many months has it been? How do you feel? Can you eat? Have you started to have morning sickness?"
"It's just been a little over a month since I was diagnosed." Yun Qiao replied, "I can eat and haven't started vomiting yet."
"It's good that you can eat. Take advantage of this period to eat more. Pregnancy usually starts with vomiting around two months and can continue until four months. By then, you won't be able to eat anything, and you'll be using up all your nutrients. In these two months, not to mention gaining weight, you'll lose two pounds." Feng Juan carefully advised: "Buy more meat, eggs, and milk during this period to supplement your diet. Don't be stingy with your money."
Yun Qiao nodded: "I know."
Feng Juan added, "Wen Jing came to visit us the other day. I'll ask her when she's returning to Songjiang Province. I'll go with her in a few days. Please tidy up the west room for me and air the quilts. I'll move into your west room later so I can take care of you and the child."
"good."
"Auntie, let me say a few words, let me say a few words." Yun Qiao came over when he heard Zheng Wenjing's voice.
Feng Juan smiled dotingly: "Okay, I'll let you say a few words."
The phone receiver fell into Zheng Wenjing's hands, and Zheng Wenjing couldn't wait to ask her, "Yun Qiao, Yun Qiao, I just heard you say you were pregnant? Is that true? Why didn't you mention it on the day I came back on the 27th?"
"It was just diagnosed the day before," Yun Qiao explained, "I didn't know the result on the 27th."
"That's how it is." Zheng Wenjing smiled. "Congratulations! Do you have any gifts you'd like? Tell me and I'll bring them to you when I get back from the capital."
"No need to bring a gift, I have everything I need." Yun Qiao raised the corner of his mouth: "You are not well off either, so I am very happy that you have this thought."
"No, I have to say it!" Zheng Wenjing said, "How can I offer to be your child's godmother if you don't want anything?"
Yun Qiao couldn't help laughing: "With such a good relationship between us, even if you don't give me anything, I will let you be the godmother of my child."
"Really?" Zheng Wenjing said happily, "Then let's make it a deal! I want to be the child's godmother!"
Yun Qiao nodded: "Yes, it's settled."
Having said that, Zheng Wenjing still made up her mind to buy a gift for Yun Qiao.
Yun Qiao is so nice, she can't blame him.
Zheng Wenjing returned the phone to Feng Juan and thought about what gift to buy for Yun Qiao.
Yun Qiao asked Feng Juan, "Mom, is Dad home yet? I haven't greeted him yet."
"Your father is still at work," Feng Juan said. "He was so busy on the train that he didn't even have time to come home for dinner last night. When I brought him dumplings after midnight, he hadn't even eaten yet. The braised pork we brought back from the cafeteria was so greasy that the oil had all dried out and it was all white. I couldn't even eat it."
Qin Lin is not a responsible parent in his family, but in his unit, he is undoubtedly a qualified cadre and leader.
Yun Qiao was in a complicated mood and said to Feng Juan, "Then you should pay more attention to it and remind him more often. If he doesn't eat on time, his stomach will be ruined by hunger over time."
"Remind him, he'll have to listen." Feng Juan sighed, "He's bigger than me, so I won't say anything about him. It won't spoil the fun enough."
Feng Juan changed the subject and told Yun Qiao about her experience during pregnancy.
Because long-distance calls are expensive, there's no way to chat in detail over the phone. Anyway, Feng Juan will be here in a few days, and we can talk as much as we want face to face then.
Yun Qiao hung up the phone and went to Qin Zheng's home to tell him the good news.
Feng Juan was not idle either. She excitedly took Zheng Wenjing's hand and went to the department store to buy things for the baby in Yun Qiao's belly.
Feng Juan had lived there for half a month and knew that supplies were scarce there. She could only buy daily necessities, but nothing more exotic was available. The department stores in Beijing were better, with a complete selection. If they couldn't find anything, she could go to the Friendship Store, which even had imported baby products.
Zheng Wenjing accompanied Feng Juan shopping until noon, and then took the big bag of things she bought home before saying goodbye and leaving.
Feng Juan invited her to dinner, but Zheng Wenjing waved her hand to refuse, saying that it was the first day of the New Year and there was a family gathering, so she had to go home for dinner.
To say she was going home for dinner wasn't quite accurate, because she was actually going back to her grandparents' home.
Zheng Wenjing's father is from another place. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, Beijing needed migrant workers to build the city. A large number of outsiders came to Beijing to find work, so his father had the opportunity to settle in Beijing.
But because she had no roots and no friends, she could only live in the dormitory of her unit after moving to the city, where she slept on a large bunk bed. After she married her mother, she moved out of the large bunk bed in the unit. She first rented a house in a slum for about ten days, and finally when she was eleven years old, she was allocated two houses by the unit, and she finally had a home.
Also because the family had no house and could only rent a house, the aunt who married into a courtyard house always looked down on her mother, and even her cousin Qi Chunhui looked down on her.
