Hua Zhiping was at a loss for words and just paced back and forth excitedly.
Seeing Hua Zhiping's excited expression and Li Lijuan's shy look, Tian Guihua looked at them knowingly and said without them even having to say anything, "Your wife has seen the doctor and she's pregnant."
The couple had been married for nearly half a year, and the old lady had long been mentally prepared.
Looking at their expressions now, what don't they know? In Tian Guihua's eyes, getting married and having children is a very normal thing. This silly boy is going to be a father for the first time, he must be excited for a few days.
"This is good news. The chicken soup is ready. Let's give your wife a big bowl to nourish her body, and hopefully she'll give you a big, healthy son."
"Grandma, why are you unhappy?" Hua Zhiping wanted everyone to share his joy, and seeing Tian Guihua so calm, he couldn't stand it anymore.
Tian Guihua said, "You brat, why am I unhappy? It's a good thing that our family has a new member, but it hasn't even been three months yet, why are you making such a fuss?"
Sure enough, young people can't handle things, and they definitely didn't ask about Xiao Guai's matter.
Li Lijuan, who had initially felt a little uneasy, now felt a bit nervous. "Yes, I heard my mother say that we can't tell anyone for the first three months."
We just got back...no one will know.
At this moment, she felt a little resentful towards Hua Zhiping, who had been carefully supporting her all the way. She noticed that several old ladies had smiled at them, which meant that people must have found out.
What secrets could there be in a compound like this? Maybe everyone will know by tomorrow.
Hua Zhiping stroked his buzz cut, "I was just happy..."
Tian Guihua quickly set out the bowls and chopsticks. "As long as you don't make a scene outside, you'll be fine. What did the doctor say?"
Hua Zhiping: "Everything is fine, just pay attention to nutrition."
Tian Guihua: "That's good. Where's your grandfather? Didn't you see him when he came in?"
They were just about to start serving dinner, and now they've run off somewhere again.
Hua Zhiping then remembered, "It seems something happened in the backyard, and my grandfather went to check on it."
However, Xiangyun was a bit strange. This time, she wasn't curious enough to go out and watch the excitement. Instead, she carried a stool and sat in the yard to bask in the sun.
"He's such a busybody," Tian Guihua said. Although she was also curious about what had happened in the backyard, at this moment, the more important thing was that it was already mealtime and she didn't want Xiao Guai to go hungry.
"You all take Xiaoguai and eat first. I'll go call your grandpa back." Tian Guihua took off her apron and walked out.
As soon as she entered the courtyard, Hua Xiangyun blocked her way. "Grandma, where are you going?"
She couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief; the old lady's complexion had finally returned to normal, and they had escaped this ordeal.
Just as Tian Guihua was about to explain to her granddaughter, Hua Guangzong pushed open the courtyard gate and walked in.
"He's such a worry, he's about to eat and he still runs off."
Hua Guangzong looked at Hua Xiangyun with a complicated expression before saying, "The shed that Li Dazhong built behind has collapsed, and his wife was injured. I'm going to take a look."
He only went out after vaguely hearing some noise.
He thought his granddaughter would block him like she did when he was little, but to his surprise, she only glanced at him and let him go out.
"By the way, you said you had something to do and were going out. Were you going to see Xu Yinghua?"
Tian Guihua, "...Yes, yes..."
Xu Yinghua lived right across from the Zhou family, and she was about to go and talk to her, asking Xu Yinghua to keep an eye on the Zhou family for her.
If she just went out, then...
Tian Guihua gasped. If Xiao Guai hadn't stopped her, she didn't know what would have happened to her old bones.
The elderly couple searched for Hua Xiangyun together, only to find that the girl had already run to the kitchen and was drinking a steaming bowl of chicken soup.
"Don't make this public," Hua Guangzong cautioned.
“I’m not stupid. The child just happened to save me from a disaster. Sure enough, my little darling brings me the most good fortune.” Tian Guihua rolled her eyes at him. “Alright, don’t just stand here, go eat.”
Hua Xiangyun breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that the two elders seemed unharmed.
However, the silly older brother on the other side was too embarrassed to watch, and he almost fed the food to his sister-in-law.
Hua Guangzong had glared at her several times, but Tian Guihua remained completely calm.
"Alright, eat your food properly." Seeing Xiao Guai's eyes darting back and forth, Tian Guihua put another piece of chicken in her bowl.
"Zhiping, you should eat well too."
Upon hearing Hua Guangzong's words, Li Lijuan immediately blushed, leaving Hua Guangzong completely bewildered.
Tian Guihua then lowered her voice and said to them, "Lijuan is pregnant, but remember, don't tell anyone about it beforehand."
Hua Guangzong immediately realized what was happening and grinned, saying, "This is great news, we should have a drink to celebrate!"
Tian Guihua said irritably, "Don't forget what the doctor said. Forget about the alcohol. You should weave a rattan bed later. The child will need it in the future."
Hua Guangzong immediately agreed, "Not just a rattan bed, I'll also make a baby walker."
Hua Xiangyun chimed in, "Then I'll sew the little clothes."
This is all the original owner could offer; I just thought back and I have all these memories.
As for practical skills, Hua Xiangyun is second to none.
It would have been better if Hua Xiangyun hadn't spoken. But as soon as she did, Tian Guihua immediately noticed that it seemed that it was Xiao Guai who had initially asked Zhiping and the others to see the doctor. This child's actions, one or two times at a time, couldn't possibly be a coincidence.
I've heard some strange tales before, all saying that those who survive great calamities are destined for good fortune. Could my little darling be one of them?
Tian Guihua had this question in her mind, but she dared not delve into it. However, someone just had to bring it up.
"Little sister, thank you for reminding big brother just now, otherwise your sister-in-law and I wouldn't have known," Hua Zhiping said gratefully.
Li Lijuan said, "Thank you, little sister. I'll give you a silk scarf later."
Hua Xiangyun quickly waved her hand, "I didn't do anything, I just felt that my sister-in-law's expression was a little off, so I said something."
Besides, my sister-in-law is carrying my nephew, so it's what I, as her aunt, should do."
Li Lijuan said nervously, "What if it's my little niece?"
Hua Xiangyun said, "...That would be even better. Our family has always favored girls over boys, so I'll have someone to keep me company at home." How could that be? This sister-in-law had given birth to three sons in a row.
Even the female lead, Zhou Xiaolan, gave birth to twins before the one-child policy was implemented.
Tian Guihua glanced at Li Lijuan and said, "Yes, our family cherishes girls. We would be even happier if you had a daughter."
Hua Guangzong, “…” No way, the Hua family still needs to carry on the family line, a great-grandson would be better.
His wife's warning look made him lower his head and drink a sip of chicken soup to calm his nerves. A daughter is fine, it's okay if she blossoms first and bears fruit later.
Thinking about how much Hua Xiangyun was pampered at home, Li Lijuan also began to yearn for a daughter.
To be honest, boys in the Hua family are not as popular as girls.
If I had a daughter as beautiful as my sister-in-law, I would spoil her rotten!
