Meng Xiao got up early to report back to the team. When Shen Qingli got up, she saw a note written by him on the bedside, saying that there was millet porridge and eggs simmering in the pot and asked her to get up and eat.
Life in the army was indeed very boring. As the days passed, she would watch TV series, read novels, listen to music, and read books on mathematics, physics and chemistry to prepare for this year's college entrance examination.
The newspaper's translation work also reduced its workload at Meng Xiao's strong request. She now only translates one article a day, which seems like a joke to her.
Meng Xiao's original intention was actually to quit this job.
Shen Qingli was naturally unwilling. No matter how many times she said it, she still felt that she was in good health. Apart from being pregnant, she did not have any uncomfortable symptoms.
It has nothing to do with whether she is short of money or not. She simply feels that it is unnecessary and it is good to have such a job to pass the time.
"My parents wrote to me today, saying that Shen Jiayao and Meng Hao went back home two days ago. This time, I didn't act pitiful. I just said that I didn't take a few books and letters, and my parents asked me to take them.
After they left, my parents checked the house inside and out and found nothing that shouldn't be there.
They said in the letter that they plan to connect Shen Jiayao's room with yours, so that when we have a baby, it will be spacious for us to live in."
Meng Xiao and Shen Qingli were sitting face to face eating. As he spoke, he placed the bowl of fish soup in his hand, which had been skimmed clean of excess oil, in front of Shen Qingli.
"It's better to open it up. The room is idle anyway. Opening it up and renovating it will give us a closer look to see if Shen Jiayao has done anything wrong this time. We have to be on our guard against people like her at all times."
In the original owner's memory, having lived with someone like Shen Jiayao for more than ten years, the original owner knew her too well.
She suddenly stopped drinking the fish soup and opened her eyes wide.
Meng Xiao, who always had his eyes on her, noticed something was wrong and asked what was wrong.
Shen Qingli placed her hand lightly on her stomach in disbelief.
After four months, my belly grew faster, and now I’m over five months pregnant!
According to what Liu Yun's sister-in-law said before, Shen Qingli's belly is now about the same size as hers was when she was six or seven months pregnant.
Maybe it was because the two babies were crowded together, Shen Qingli had not felt any fetal movement. She had a slight gurgling feeling before, and the information she found online said it might be gastrointestinal movement.
It was the first time she felt the fetal movement so intuitively. She didn't need to doubt it or look up any information. She was absolutely sure it was the fetal movement. It was different from the feeling of gastrointestinal peristalsis in the past.
"Meng Xiaoxiao, it's moving! My belly is moving!" She was a little silly at the moment, and Meng Xiao was even more silly than her. Shen Qingli spoke softly, for fear of startling the baby in her belly.
"Is your stomach moving?"
He walked around the table to Shen Qingli and saw that she had one hand on her stomach.
"Wife, he...he moved?"
Shen Qingli nodded stupidly. Meng Xiao stretched out his trembling hand and gently placed it on Shen Qingli's bulging belly. His hand, which had never shaken when it was covering the grenade launcher, was now trembling.
He was a little surprised and a little bit unbelievable.
The baby in the belly seemed to sense the two people's cautiousness and kicked twice in succession, one on the left and one on the right, landing on the hands of Shen Qingli and Meng Xiao respectively.
Shen Qingli let out a soft hiss. Meng Xiao no longer cared about the fetal movement and became nervous.
"Did he get hurt from the kick? Or something?"
"It's okay, it doesn't hurt much, it just feels magical. Meng Xiaoxiao, our baby has grown up."
Shen Qingli felt like crying. As a new mother, she had always been as light as a swallow. She was usually so smart that she seemed to have forgotten that she was pregnant. It was the people around her and her bulging belly that kept reminding her that she was about to become a mother.
But none of those made her feel as secure and magical as the first fetal movement!
She seemed to realize for the first time the real existence of the baby and the joy of the coming life.
"Yes, our baby."
Meng Xiao's mind was not as delicate as Shen Qingli's as a girl, but he was still a little surprised and marveled at the magic of the continuation of life.
His little girl, at the prime age of youth and with her slender and graceful figure, was willing to bear his child. Although he was immersed in the joy of becoming a father for the first time, he felt even more sorry for his wife.
"Stop messing with my wife, and if you kick your mother again, I'll see if you'll be beaten when you're born!"
Meng Xiao patted his stomach lightly, half in a negotiating and half threatening manner, but this time there was no response from inside.
Meng Xiao: "...silent resistance?"
Shen Qingli laughed out loud with her face tilted back, her body shaking with laughter. Perhaps the baby could sense her mother's emotions, but she moved gently twice.
Meng Xiao was about to move his hand away...
He gritted his teeth and felt helpless: "You are so shameless! Let's see if you get beaten up when you come out!"
He was met with another deafening silence...
The smile in Shen Qingli's eyes and eyebrows lingered for a long time: "It seems that the baby likes me more."
He stood up and smiled awkwardly, "He takes after his father, a rebellious person. Dad once said that since I was a child, I would never do anything he told me to do, and I would just go against him."
[Yang Rouchuaner: Bah! My heart aches. Please don’t let her get pregnant!]
[Meng Xiao: ... ...Didn't you make my wife pregnant? ]
Yang Rouchuaner: ??? I’m a woman!
[Meng Xiao: You wrote it!]
[Yang Rouchuaner: Okay, this is my child, it has nothing to do with you.]
[Meng Xiao: The child is yours, my wife!]
After dinner, Meng Xiao washed the dishes and came back from the kitchen to look at Shen Qingli's stomach, feeling a bit hesitant to speak.
"Tell me. What's the matter? You act like you have something on your mind before dinner."
Shen Qingli's voice was gentle and powerful, as if it soothed his uneasy heart.
