The salty smell of seafood rushed into Ye Zhi's nose, and her stomach immediately churned. She retched twice but nothing came out.
Lu Wei quickly stepped forward, supported Ye Zhi's body, and asked, "Wife, what's wrong with you?"
After returning from the cruise today, Lu Wei saw Ye Zhi looking listless, lying on the bed, not wanting to move at all.
After saying a few words, she fell asleep holding his arm and slept for two or three hours.
He asked Ye Xiaoding that the textile factory had been working for half a month in a row in order to prepare the equipment for the new recruits who would be joining the army next spring.
Ye Zhi has been going out early and coming back late recently. Once she gets home, she takes a shower and falls asleep immediately.
Suddenly, Lu Wei felt worried.
Ye Zhi turned her head away, and the first thing she did was to get away from the pot of clams.
"I'm fine, it's just that the clam seems to have changed its taste."
So fishy and smells so bad!
It smelled weird, and the weather was pretty cool, so it couldn't possibly go bad that quickly.
Suddenly, a thought popped into Ye Zhi's mind.
It seemed like her period hadn't come for a long time this month. After coming to the island, she had a regular schedule, a nutritious diet, and her periods have been quite regular.
She can't be -
Are you pregnant?
Lu Wei glanced at the clams in the pot. Each of them still had its tentacles extended and looked alive.
Then he asked, "Are you sick? I'll take you to the infirmary."
Ye Zhi subconsciously touched her still flat belly, looked at Lu Wei who was worried, and said slowly: "I'm not sick, I might -"
"Yes, I think."
Lu Wei met Ye Zhi's watery eyes that had become moist due to dry retching, and his mind was suddenly confused.
Got it?
What's up?
Lu Wei suddenly had a flash of inspiration, it was...
The emotions of confusion, excitement, agitation and surprise collided with each other, making Lu Wei stunned in place for a moment, not knowing what to do.
Ye Zhi waved her hand in front of his eyes and asked, "Why are you standing there?"
Lu Wei's eyes subconsciously glanced at Ye Zhi's lower abdomen, and his eyes slowly softened.
Ye Zhi had their child.
He's going to be a father.
Lu Wei then wiped his face and calmed down. He felt his mind was a little confused, but he reacted quickly. He bent over and picked up Ye Zhi, saying, "I'll take you to the infirmary."
Ye Zhi's feet left the ground instantly. She was suddenly a little panicked. She subconsciously hugged Lu Wei's neck with both hands and said angrily: "Put me down, I can walk by myself."
"Besides, if she is really pregnant, there is no need to rush for a day or two. Just go for a checkup tomorrow. It's already evening now."
Lu Wei lowered his head to glance at Ye Zhi in his arms. Because she had dry-heaved a few times, her cheeks were a little red and there were some tears in the corners of her eyes. She looked very pitiful.
Lu Wei said in a calm voice: "I'm anxious." Then he carried Ye Zhi out of the kitchen and went outside.
Ye Zhi felt it was so embarrassing, she was pregnant, not sick!
Who is so anxious?
If others saw this, wouldn’t they be laughing to death?
She used to be a clingy girl, then she became a tigress, and now she’s still a squeamish girl even though she’s pregnant!
Ye Xiaoding just heard Ye Zhi's vomiting sound, so he didn't even water the dishes. He put down the spoon and walked towards the kitchen. Unexpectedly, he ran into his uncle who was hurriedly walking out holding his aunt.
Ye Xiaoding asked, "What happened to my aunt? Is she okay?"
Lu Wei just said, "It's okay, just wait at home."
It was the evening when people were getting off work. People were coming and going on the road outside the yard. When many people saw Lu Wei carrying Ye Zhi out, they looked back and started talking.
There was such a loud commotion at Lu Wei's house that He Jinfeng, who was originally tidying up the melon shed in the yard, also ran out and saw that Lu Wei had already walked far away with Ye Zhi in his arms.
Then she saw Ye Xiaoding standing at the door again, so she asked, "Xiaoding, what happened to your aunt?"
Ye Xiaoding cried and cried, "My aunt is sick..."
Hearing this, He Jinfeng quickly took Ye Xiaoding back to her own yard and asked, "Wasn't your aunt fine during the day? What happened?"
The two families lived close to each other, and He Jinfeng knew that Ye Zhi sometimes liked to sleep in and take a nap in the afternoon.
Hearing that today was a rare day off, Ye Xiaoding said during the day that she was sleeping. He Jinfeng did not disturb her, as she thought that she had been working for too long and probably just wanted to take a break.
Why do we have to go to the infirmary now?
Ye Xiaoding cried loudly and sobbed, "My aunt just finished her nap and vomited in the kitchen. Uncle is taking her to the infirmary now."
"Aunt, will my aunt be okay?"
Ye Xiaoding felt that the person closest to him in the world was Ye Zhi.
What should he do if anything happens to his aunt?
How is he going to explain this to his grandparents?
He Jinfeng listened to Ye Xiaoding's intermittent words and immediately understood what was going on. She immediately shouted, "Spit and say it again!"
"This is a happy event for your aunt. You will have a brother or sister soon!"
Ye Xiaoding was a little confused, "W-what?"
He Jinfeng smiled and said, "You idiot, you're going to be a brother! And you're still crying!"
Ye Xiaoding's anxiety and worry suddenly turned into ecstasy, and his eyes, which were originally filled with tears, instantly lit up: "Aunt, are you serious? I'm going to be a brother?"
He Jinfeng recalled the image of Lu Wei hugging Ye Zhi just now, smiled, and felt deeply moved.
This Lu Wei really loves his wife.
Is there any woman on the island who would go to the infirmary for a check-up while pregnant?
Besides, it's already evening and everyone is preparing to cook and eat.
He Jinfeng smiled and shook her head, then said to Ye Xiaoding, "Go play with Anzi and the others for a while, and then you can have dinner at my house tonight."
It looks like they won't have time to cook tonight.
He Jinfeng went to the kitchen and prepared to cook some noodles for them so that they could eat when Ye Zhi came back.
Lu Wei carried Ye Zhi all the way to the infirmary without even taking a break. Ye Zhi lay on his chest and could only hear his strong heartbeat but not his heavy breathing, which was also magical.
Ye Zhi didn't dare to show her head the whole way, she was so embarrassed.
If you didn't know, you would think she was seriously ill.
Ye Zhi told him more than once to put her down, but Lu Wei wouldn't listen and carried her all the way into the infirmary.
It was time to go home for dinner, so there were not many people in the infirmary.
Lu Wei directly carried Ye Zhi into the office of the doctor on duty and placed her on the bed covered with white sheets.
Zhao Meizhen, the doctor on duty in the infirmary, had just returned from the restroom and saw two more people in the duty room.
Zhao Meizhen had seen Lu Wei in person when he was hospitalized in the first half of the year, but because the operation was troublesome and there was another call from Yangcheng, she handed Lu Wei over to their dean for handling.
At that time, Lu Wei was injured during a mission and was hospitalized for a long time.
It was because of that one mission that Lu Wei was promoted to team leader.
Most people in the military camp knew that Lu Wei had a good family background and good looks, so many female comrades secretly admired him.
Even Zhao Meizhen was no exception. She actually used to work in the Yangcheng Military Region Hospital. Once Lu Wei went to the hospital to find their vice president, Zhao Meizhen found out that he was the vice president's son.
Later, Zhao Meizhen found out that Lu Wei was working in the Construction Corps on Qiongzhou Island, so she applied to come over.
But because Lu Wei had a bad temper and was cold, the political commissar began to mobilize him to go on blind dates when he was 22 years old, but Lu Wei remained indifferent.
At that time, many doctors and nurses in the military hospital were discussing what kind of female comrades Lu Wei liked and what kind of excellent wife he would marry in the end.
Unexpectedly, he brought back a baby boyfriend.
What era is this? There is still child marriage.
She is neither a pretty girl from the art troupe nor a female military doctor or nurse from the hospital.
Although everyone heard that Lu Wei's childhood sweetheart was pretty, she had a low level of education and a low job, so everyone felt a little uncomfortable about it.
At this moment, Zhao Meizhen saw Lu Wei hurriedly coming in holding a female comrade, looking very caring for her. It was not difficult to guess that this was Lu Wei's childhood wife.
She wanted to see how beautiful it was.
So she stepped forward and asked, "Captain Lu, what happened to this female comrade?"
Lu Wei looked up at Zhao Meizhen and vaguely remembered seeing her before, so he said, "Doctor, my wife might be pregnant. Could you please help check it out?"
It was the first time for both him and Ye Zhi, and they felt like they didn't understand anything, so Lu Wei brought Ye Zhi to the infirmary for a checkup.
Zhao Meizhen couldn't help but be dumbfounded. Seeing Lu Wei's behavior just now, she thought something happened to his wife.
Isn't that pregnancy?
She had worked in the military hospital for three years, and she had never seen any young wife as pampered as her!
It would have been fine if he had just come in the evening at dinner time, but he brought her here in his arms!
Zhao Meizhen glanced at Lu Wei, who rarely showed a bit of nervousness, with an unclear expression, and said, "Okay, I'll come and take a look. Men, please wait outside." As she said that, she pulled a curtain tightly to block Lu Wei's sight.
Ye Zhi looked at the dazzling white all around her. Lu Wei was not by her side. She suddenly felt a little nervous and her slender white fingers clenched her pants.
Zhao Meizhen noticed her nervousness and said, "Relax a little, put your legs down, and put your hands on both sides."
Ye Zhi looked at Zhao Meizhen and felt that her tone was gentle, so she relaxed a little.
However, her eyes did not look at Zhao Meizhen, but kept looking at the roof painted with putty powder to divert her attention.
Zhao Meizhen asked, "When was your last menstrual period?"
Ye Zhi slowly said a time, feeling the slightly cool stethoscope reaching under her clothes.
Zhao Meizhen asked again: "Have you felt uncomfortable anywhere recently?"
Ye Zhi glanced at Zhao Meizhen and found that the doctor was very young and fashionable. She even heard the sound of her high heels tapping on the floor.
Ye Zhi replied: "I just feel tired all day long, sleepy, and feel nauseous and want to vomit when I smell something strange."
After thinking for a while, Ye Zhi said, "Sometimes my stomach still hurts a little."
Zhao Meizhen smiled slightly and looked at Ye Zhi, who was lying on the hospital bed with red lips and white teeth, her eyes sparkling and her skin glowing white.
She had been on the island for several years, and had never seen anyone with as delicate skin and tender flesh as her.
No wonder.
She wanted to protect such a delicate girl.
I can't be jealous anymore.
This girl is really pretty.
Still lovable.
Zhao Meizhen took back the stethoscope and said, "You get up first." Then she helped Ye Zhi up and said, "Be careful, don't rush."
Ye Zhi immediately felt that this doctor had a really good heart, so she smiled and said, "Thank you."
As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Wei's voice came from outside the curtain: "Doctor, how is my wife?"
Hearing Lu Wei's anxious voice, Zhao Meizhen couldn't help but sigh. This guy, she thought he was really unmovable, but he still succumbed to the gentleness of the world.
Ye Zhi listened to Lu Wei's question and met Zhao Meizhen's ambiguous look, and she couldn't help blushing.
Zhao Meizhen smiled and said, "This is the first time I see Captain Lu so nervous."
Ye Zhi smiled awkwardly: "He is not like this usually."
Zhao Meizhen smiled and joked, "That's right. Everyone in our military camp knows that Captain Lu is a cold-blooded sniper. Even the commander said he has never seen such a calm man."
If Lu Wei wasn't so cold, the number of lesbians who would actively pursue him would definitely be more than before.
Zhao Meizhen pulled aside the curtain and immediately saw Lu Wei poking his head out. She smiled and said, "Captain Lu, relax. Your wife is doing well."
"Congratulations, you two are going to be parents."
Lu Wei thought he was mentally prepared, but when he heard the doctor's words, he couldn't help but get excited.
But Lu Wei never knew how to show his excitement, so he just stood there woodenly, watching Ye Zhi get off the hospital bed.
It wasn't until Ye Zhi walked back to him and gently bumped his arm that Lu Wei came back to his senses.
Ye Zhi straightened her clothes and said with a smile, "Thank you, doctor."
Lu Wei said dully: "Thank you——"
Zhao Meizhen went to the sink nearby to wash her hands, and then told Ye Zhi and Lu Wei: "You must be especially careful during the first three months of pregnancy. Get more rest, eat less cold food, don't drink alcohol, and don't do strenuous exercise."
"Leave the heavy work to men, and don't bother with lifting and moving things." These words were said to Lu Wei.
Lu Wei wiped his face, finally reacted, and asked slowly: "What if I vomit again?"
Zhao Meizhen couldn't help but sigh, "Morning sickness is normal, there's nothing you can do about it. Just eat as much as you can. It's best to eat nutritious food, such as eggs, fish, shrimp, and red meat. You should also eat more vegetables and fruits. If conditions permit, you can also give her some malted milk."
Zhao Meizhen knew that Lu Wei definitely met the requirements.
Lu Weiyi wrote it down, and then asked, "My wife just said that her stomach hurts, does this have any impact?"
Zhao Meizhen paused for a moment, lowered her head and wrote on the medical record, saying, "It's normal to have a slight swelling and pain, but if you see blood, you must come to the hospital immediately."
Lu Wei: "Okay." Then he asked, "Is there anything else I should pay attention to?"
Zhao Meizhen looked at the well-behaved and fair Ye Zhi, and paused while writing the medical record. Then she said, "Don't smoke in front of pregnant women, and don't take a bath in a tub. And..."
"No sleeping together, remember that." Zhao Meizhen cleared her throat and lowered her head to write again.
Lu Wei and Ye Zhi looked at each other and both turned away.
According to Lu Wei's previous request, they would probably have to sleep in separate rooms.
After the two came out of the infirmary, Ye Zhi refused to let Lu Wei take her back no matter what.
The two walked on the muddy road in the military camp in silence until they returned home, when Lu Wei gently held her in his arms.
Gently, not daring to hold her too tightly, yet reluctant to let go too easily. He just wanted to hold her whole body in his arms.
He whispered in Ye Zhi's ear: "I'm going to be a father..."
"Wife, I'm going to be a father!"
Ye Zhi suddenly felt a little embarrassed and asked, "Are you happy?"
He must be happy, otherwise he wouldn't be trembling when he held her, his heart would not be pounding, and even his breathing would be heavier than before.
"Happy, I am so happy..."
At this moment, Lu Wei didn't know how to describe his mood, nor did he know how to express his happiness.
He could only hug Ye Zhi, the woman he loved.
He finally had a child with his beloved woman, which was the fruit of their love.
It is also the continuation of their love...
Ye Zhi couldn't help but burst out laughing: "Are you happy now?"
Lu Wei might have forgotten that they hadn't eaten yet...
Although Ye Zhi had started to experience morning sickness, she didn't seem to eat much today.
I'm a little hungry now, but I also feel bloated and uncomfortable.
I feel like vomiting again.
Lu Wei let go of Ye Zhi slightly, lowered his head and gently kissed her smooth forehead, and said: "Comrade Ye Zhi, I will definitely work hard to be a good husband and a good father. I love you, love our children, and love our family."
Ye Zhi was obviously just a little hungry, but now she felt her eyes were a little moist. She was not so sentimental before.
I don’t know why I couldn’t control my emotions after hearing what Lu Wei said.
She said: "Lu Wei, I believe you."
He will definitely be a good husband and a good father.
Lu Wei kissed away the tears from Ye Zhi's eyes and said with a smile, "Wife, we are going to be parents."
"Um!"
"We have a child."
"Um."
"My dear wife, thank you for your hard work."
“Yeah, it’s pretty hard.”
Lu Wei couldn't help but laugh, he looked down at Ye Zhi, only to see that she was frowning, as if she was feeling uncomfortable again.
"Wife, what's wrong with you?"
Ye Zhi shook her head: "I don't know either. I feel like vomiting and a little hungry."
"It's eight o'clock, Comrade Lu. Shouldn't we have something to eat?"
Lu Wei frowned immediately. He was so excited that he didn't even feel hungry.
"I'm sorry, I neglected it." Lu Wei asked, "Wife, do you want to eat anything?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the voices of Ye Xiaoding and He Jinfeng were heard from outside the yard.
He Jinfeng smiled and said, "Xiao Ye, Captain Lu, I cooked some noodles for you. Please eat some tonight."
At this moment, He Jinfeng had already come in with a large plate of noodles.
And it’s tomato and egg noodles.
Ye Zhi took a look and saw some minced meat inside.
When Ye Zhi smelled the sweet and sour taste of tomatoes, she did not have any morning sickness reaction.
On the contrary, I have some appetite.
Lu Wei was stunned for a moment and said, "I forgot to ask the doctor, can I eat tomatoes?"
Ye Zhi: “…”
There's no need to ask so carefully.
It was the first time He Jinfeng saw Lu Wei like this, and she smiled: "You can eat it, tomatoes are rich in vitamins, and tomatoes were my favorite food in the past."
Ye Zhi understood what He Jinfeng meant. She must have guessed it, so she quickly said, "Sister He, thank you."
If it weren’t for He Jinfeng, Xiao Ding would probably have been hungry at home.
"Let's talk about this!" He Jinfeng said again: "Go and get the dishes and chopsticks. Eat early and rest early. Don't get tired."
Although Ye Zhi was hungry, she didn't have a good appetite and put down her chopsticks after eating only half a bowl.
Lu Wei wanted her to eat more, but Ye Zhi covered her mouth again, as if she was about to vomit at any time.
Lu Wei didn't dare let her eat anymore.
Ye Zhi didn't eat, and Lu Wei's appetite was not very good either. After eating a little quickly, he washed the basin and gave it back to He Jinfeng.
This time, He Jinfeng was not in a hurry to go home. She took Ye Zhi outside the yard and chatted for a long time.
Lu Wei vaguely heard at the window that someone was talking about some things to pay attention to during pregnancy.
He Jinfeng only said: "During the first three months of pregnancy, you don't need to tell everyone, just tell your family members."
“If you want to eat fruit, don’t pick it yourself, let others pick it for you.”
"Also, tell Lu Wei not to hammer nails around the house, and don't move the bed you sleep on."
Ye Zhi just nodded after hearing this: "Okay, I know."
The older generation believes that there is a fetal god and that one must pay attention to many things, otherwise the fetal god will be unhappy and the fetus may be harmed.
Although Ye Zhi didn't really believe in these things, since they were said, she had to listen.
After giving some instructions on daily life, He Jinfeng also told Ye Zhi some things to pay attention to in diet, and did not go home until half past nine.
Ye Zhi is sleepy. Even though she slept all day, she still feels very sleepy after taking a bath.
Lu Wei had just finished washing the clothes and returned to his room, and Ye Zhi had already fallen asleep.
Because Lu Wei was there, Ye Zhi slept more soundly than during the day, and the weather was comfortable, so she slept until after eight o'clock the next day.
It was already very late in the military camp at around eight o'clock.
Ye Zhi sat on the bed, stunned for a moment.
It feels a little unreal.
She is actually...going to be a mother.
Just as she was touching her belly, Lu Wei filled a basin with warm water, saying it was for Ye Zhi to wash.
Ye Zhi waved her hand and got up again.
But she vomited again when she was brushing her teeth. Lu Wei stood by and helped her smooth her back, at a loss.
After vomiting, Ye Zhi felt a little tired and went back to bed.
So Lu Wei brought her a big bowl of meat and vegetable porridge, saying that he was going to feed her.
The sliced pork and leaf porridge was cooked by Lu Weiyi early in the morning.
Now after washing, the porridge had cooled down, and Lu Wei took a spoon and insisted on feeding her.
Ye Zhi felt a little embarrassed: "It's not like my hands and feet are disabled, I can do it myself."
Lu Wei directly treated her as a disabled person, causing Ye Zhi to think that she was not pregnant but sick.
But he couldn't snatch the food away from her, so he had to open his mouth and let him feed him.
Lu Wei took the spoon and put another spoonful to her mouth, motioning her to open her mouth, and said, "Eat it, and then you can rest for a while after you finish eating."
Ye Zhi took a bite and asked, "By the way, what about the textile factory..."
Lu Wei: "I've asked for leave for you. Let's see how it goes after a while."
Ye Zhi nodded. This was all she could do.
Although the salary in the textile factory is not high, it is good as it allows me to spend my time fulfillingly.
In this situation, we can only wait for a few days.
Ye Zhi took a few bites and didn't want to eat anymore.
After a while, he went to the sink and vomited violently.
For two days in a row, Ye Zhi's morning sickness seemed to be getting worse and worse. She vomited after eating and vomited after eating.
Lu Wei saw it all, but could do nothing.
I feel so heartbroken.
Lu Wei later discovered that Ye Zhi's morning sickness was not so severe if she ate something sour.
So Lu Wei brought back a lot of sour fruits.
Cherry tomatoes, star fruits, grapefruits, and some small green oranges, fruits that others would consider too soft for their teeth, but Ye Zhi could eat half a pound of them in one go without even frowning. After eating the sour fruits, Ye Zhi was still able to eat some staple food and vegetables.
After watching Ye Zhi finish eating the whole green carambola, Lu Wei asked, "You seem to have a better appetite. Is there anything you want to eat today?"
Ye Zhi said, "I don't know."
Ye Zhi doesn't want to eat seafood now, as she feels choked by the smell.
But after eating a star fruit, I seemed to have some appetite, as if I wanted to eat meat.
But it can’t be ordinary meat, I want to eat some sour meat.
But Lu Wei doesn’t know how to cook either.
Lu Wei knew that Ye Zhi couldn't smell the fishy smell now, so he patiently asked, "Do you want to eat pork? Or duck meat?"
The most common animals raised on the island are ducks, and people usually eat duck meat when there is no pork.
After eating the carambola, Ye Zhi felt a little better in her stomach.
After listening to Lu Wei's words, she thought about it and wanted to eat sweet and sour pork ribs. It was sweet and sour and delicious, and she was a little greedy.
The first dish that others learn to cook is usually scrambled eggs with tomatoes.
Ye Zhi remembers that the first dishes she learned to cook were sweet and sour pork ribs and cola chicken wings.
It's simple, she just likes to eat meat.
I have been vomiting every day recently, and I have vomited almost all the meat I have eaten, but those were all steamed or stewed, which Ye Zhi did not like very much.
So the first thing Ye Zhi thought of was the sweet and sour spare ribs.
But how could the military camp cafeteria have that dish?
Pork is too rare, let alone spareribs. Even the fat is usually snatched up.
So, just eat whatever you want.
Lu Wei seemed to notice her hesitation and smiled mischievously: "I know you want to eat something, tell me quickly."
Ye Zhi paused, then said softly, "Then see if you have any sweet and sour spareribs?"
Then he added: "Forget it if there is none."
She didn't expect the cafeteria to have this dish. Being able to eat pork was considered a first-class meal.
Not to mention the troublesome sweet and sour spare ribs.
Lu Wei didn't even think about it and replied, "Yes."
"I'll give you sweet and sour pork ribs tonight."
After leaving home, Lu Wei went back to the office as soon as possible. He had been accompanying Ye Zhi for the past two days and had not had time to return to the group.
Lu Wei picked up the phone and dialed a familiar number.
The call was finally connected after four transfers.
A woman's loud voice came from the other end of the phone: "Hello, who is this?"
Lu Wei shouted calmly, "Mom, it's me."
Ana Shen on the other end moved the microphone away from her ear in confusion, and then asked again: “Who are you talking about?”
Lu Wei: “…”
Ana Shen stopped teasing him, chuckled softly, and asked, “What do you want from me?”
It was rare for her son to call her on his own initiative, so of course she had to have a nice conversation with him now.
Lu Wei cleared his throat and said, "Well, how do you make sweet and sour spare ribs?"
“……???”
