Shen Chu Ning walked home in a daze. It wasn't that she hadn't thought about getting pregnant, nor that she didn't want a child.
But she didn't expect the child to come so soon.
She was not mentally prepared yet.
But she didn't feel anxious for long before her eyelids felt heavy again. She couldn't resist the sudden sleepiness, so she simply fell asleep again.
Although Zhou Yubai comes back every day, he is very busy because the camp has just started construction.
It is usually eleven or twelve o'clock at night when I get home.
However, whenever he thought about seeing his lovely wife when he returned home, and even if he could not do anything at night, he could hug his sweet and soft wife to sleep, he felt very happy in his heart, and even his steps became bigger.
But today, before he even got home, he was stopped by his mother and pulled into the house.
"Mom, why are you still awake so late?" Zhou Yubai asked in surprise.
"Your mother is waiting for you." Zhou Baoguo said as he knocked on the pipe he had just put out.
Zhou Yubai looked at Lin Shulan with a puzzled look, "What happened?"
Lin Shulan is not the kind of mother who would be inseparable from her son, and she would definitely not wait for him if nothing happened.
"Do you know that your wife is pregnant?" Lin Shulan asked Zhou Yubai straight away.
Zhou Yubai was stunned and didn't react for a moment, "What happened to my wife?"
Lin Shulan was so angry that she slapped him on the back, "What did your wife do? She's pregnant with your baby!"
After Zhou Yubai realized what was happening, he couldn't hide his ecstasy in his eyes, and couldn't suppress the smile on his face, "Mom, are you serious? Is my wife really pregnant?"
Lin Shulan got angry when she saw him like this.
Ning Ning was so careless because it was the first time she became a mother as a young wife. Also, she had been busy with work recently and it was normal for her to neglect her physical condition.
As a soldier, it is a basic quality for the third brother to have keen observation skills. How come he didn't notice his wife's situation at all?
"Has your wife been eating a lot and feeling sleepy recently? I asked her today and she didn't have her period, so it's almost certain that she is pregnant."
Lin Shulan said, "It's just right that you applied to be transferred back so that you can take care of your wife and children more. Okay, I won't waste any more time talking to you. Here are 200 kilograms of rice and 100 kilograms of wheat that your father and I bought for you at the team today. You can take them back."
Zhou Yubai tried hard to hide the excitement on his face at this time, and said seriously and coldly: "Okay, Dad, Mom, I'll go back first."
As he spoke, he picked up the load of grain.
"Wait." Just as he was about to take a step, Lin Shulan stopped him again, "Third brother, Ningning's pregnancy is not stable yet, you two should not sit together. If you hurt the baby in Ningning's belly, I will beat you!"
Zhou Yubai never thought that his mother would actually tell him such a thing. His face immediately turned red, and he tried to keep a straight face and agreed, "I know."
As Zhou Yubai left with the grain on his shoulders, Zhou Baoguo complained to Lin Shulan, "Why are you telling the third brother about this? He's almost thirty years old, not a young man anymore. How can he be so reckless?"
Lin Shulan glared at the old man and said, "You old bastard, you know nothing!"
Her eldest son usually behaves like a decent and steady person in front of people like them.
But no one knows a child better than his mother. She had long seen that the third child was definitely not like this in front of Ningning.
Not to mention that when they just got married, Ningning didn't leave the house for two days.
During this period of time, there were several times in the morning when she went to look for Ningning and she saw Ningning coming out of the house holding her waist.
In this situation, how can she feel at ease if she doesn't give any warning?
After Zhou Yubai got home, he put the food in the main room and went straight to the bedroom, "Wife..."
He shouted in surprise, and then he saw Shen Chu Ning sitting on the bed in a daze.
Shen Chuning turned around with no expression on her face and looked at him, "Brother Yubai, you're back."
Zhou Yubai's excited heart suddenly sank.
In the past, when he came back, his wife would always be smiling and would rush towards him like a happy little oriole.
Today's reaction is not right.
He naturally guessed why Shen Chuning was like this.
He walked forward carefully and sat down beside the bed, and gently held Shen Chuning's hand with his big calloused hand.
He endured the pain in his heart and said gently, "Wife, if you don't want a child, then we don't want one."
Shen Chu Ning turned to look at him in a daze, her eyes suddenly turned red, and crystal tears rolled down her little face.
Zhou Yubai's heart suddenly ached, and he quickly hugged her into his arms, "Wife, don't cry, don't cry. It's all my fault. I didn't consider your feelings and didn't discuss the issue of the child with you in advance. I know I was wrong.
This child...if you think he comes at the wrong time, then we should just give him up..."
Zhou Yubai had particular difficulty in saying the last few words.
He felt that saying these words was even more difficult than performing those life-threatening missions he had carried out in the past. Every time he uttered a word, his heart felt like it was being pricked by a needle.
But in comparison, he was still more unwilling to see Shen Chuning sad.
After Shen Chu Ning woke up from a sleep, she slowly accepted the fact that the child was already here.
And when she touched her still flat belly just now, she felt a little excited.
She remembered that in her dream, she and Chen Ziyun had a child after they got married.
However, Chen Ziyun forced her to abort the child on the grounds that their conditions in the countryside were poor and the child would have to suffer with them if born.
Now that Zhou Yubai came back and told her that he didn't want to have a child, the grievance in her heart spread out all at once and she couldn't stop crying.
I heard Zhou Yubai still saying that he doesn't want children.
Her emotions suddenly exploded.
A pair of small hands pounded Zhou Yubai's chest, crying and questioning: "Why did you decide not to have my child? He is in my belly, he is my child, why do you just say you don't want him..."
As Shen Chu Ning spoke, she felt even more aggrieved and couldn’t help but burst into tears.
Zhou Yubai's lost eyes instantly rekindled the light of excitement, and his big hand excitedly grasped Shen Chuning's small hand tightly, "Wife, what do you mean, you want our child? Are you willing to give birth to our child?"
Shen Chu Ning's tears flowed even more fiercely, and her red eyes glared at the man angrily, "Zhou Yubai, you pinched me and hurt me!"
Zhou Yubai quickly let go, feeling a little helpless for the first time in his life.
"Wife, I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I... I'm just too happy.
I came back and saw you were in a bad mood, and I thought you didn’t want our child, so I…”
Zhou Yubai is not good at explaining.
Now that he had said so much in one breath, he really didn't know how to explain it to his wife.
