Song Nanting's words destroyed the charming atmosphere. Lu Jianan looked up at her, but didn't move for a long time. He stared at her blankly and said, "What did you say?"
Song Nanting couldn't help laughing, and she stretched out her hand to twist his waist, "I said I might be pregnant."
Lu Jianan: “…”
Song Nanting couldn't help but frowning at his expression, "What's with that expression?"
"It's okay." Lu Jianan sighed and slowly pulled up her pants. "Are you sure?"
Song Nanting was happy, "No."
"That……"
Song Nanting was afraid that he would come again, so she quickly added, "But I was late for that for a week, and I have been retching in the mornings these past few days."
Lu Jianan was puzzled, "Will pregnancy be like this?"
He was already in the army when Hua Yingyue was pregnant with her second child, so he had no idea what a pregnant woman looked like.
Song Nanting nodded, "That's right. First, it will be postponed, and then there may be some early pregnancy reactions."
After she finished speaking, she saw Lu Jianan frowning, looking unhappy. She continued to twist his waist in anger, "What's with that expression? Don't you like our child?"
Lu Jianan shook his head hurriedly, "That's not it, it's just..."
He sighed, "I just didn't expect it to come so soon."
She's already pregnant after only being married for a few months?
Song Nanting couldn't believe it. "Everyone is looking forward to having a baby soon, why are you..."
Lu Jianan bent down and kissed her very gently, and sighed, "I thought we could spend some time together as a couple before having children."
These words touched Song Nanting's heart. She hugged his waist and said, "But I want a child of ours."
"Well, okay." Lu Jianan said ashamedly, "It's a pity that I can't bear the pain of pregnancy for you. I can just make it up to you somewhere else."
Song Nanting suddenly had a bad feeling. Sure enough, Lu Jianan helped her take off her clothes again. Song Nanting quickly grabbed her pants and asked in horror, "What are you doing?"
Lu Jianan said seriously, "I'll help you take a bath."
Song Nanting was busy and flustered, "I don't need it."
"Yes, I will take care of my mother on behalf of my son."
In the end, Song Nanting couldn't resist him and was helped to take a bath.
Coming out of the bathroom, Lu Jianan said, "Just sit in the yard. I'll go cook."
But in fact, Lu Jianan’s cooking skills are really good. It seems that the work of the firefighters was not in vain.
They had purslane mixed with cold vegetables, a handful of fresh shepherd's purse fried with eggs, and another dish of stir-fried pork with chili peppers. The staple food was pancakes. After eating, the couple went to the yard to cool off.
The fruit trees planted in early spring already have quite a few leaves, but because they are young, it will take another two years for them to bear fruit, let alone form a shade.
However, the two wisteria plants planted grew vigorously after sprouting, creating a shade on the frame.
It's just summer now, and they don't bloom anymore.
Song Nanting and Lu Jianan sat under a tree drinking tea, and occasionally they could hear training slogans coming from the camp of the neighboring army.
These were familiar voices to both of them.
Song Nanting said, "What do you think now?"
Lu Jianan looked at her, seemingly not understanding what she meant.
Song Nanting said, "About returning to the capital."
"No."
Song Nanting: "Why?"
"You're pregnant." Lu Jianan said confidently, "You're exhausted from the long journey."
Song Nanting sighed, "We can buy sleeper tickets for the whole journey." She paused and said, "Don't you want to see Dad?"
Lu Jianan denied: "No."
Song Nanting smiled, "Then let's go back."
Lu Jianan remained silent again.
He didn't say anything and Song Nanting didn't say anything more either.
She didn't actually have to go back to the capital, but she thought it would be better for the family to reunite during the New Year, otherwise the two of them would feel a little lonely during the New Year.
In her previous life, the Lu family treated her well. The Lu couple treated her with more care and even felt that they owed her. In the years when Lu Jianan was gone, the Lu family gave her a lot of warmth.
At that time, the Song family also came, but they were all sent away by her father-in-law or Lu Jianning, and they were not able to come to her.
Song Nanting remembers all of this.
In fact, the conflict between Lu Jianan and his son had faded a long time ago after so many years, but neither of them was willing to give the other a way out, which led to the current situation.
Song Nanting said, "I grew up in a small county town and have never seen a big city."
Lu Jianan pursed his lips: "It's the same everywhere. I can also take you to the provincial capital during the New Year."
Song Nanting rolled her eyes, "You said before that I can go back if I want to."
Lu Jianan said after a while, "Okay."
Song Nanting smiled and stretched out her hand to pull his cheek, "Just think of us as coming to the city to beg for money."
"Then bring a few more bags."
At night, the two of them lay on the kang. Lu Jianan hugged her from behind, put his warm hands on her belly, and said, "How old do you think the child is now?"
Song Nanting felt the heat from his body and said, "I wonder if it's as big as a soybean."
She paused, "But I don't know if she's pregnant yet."
"Let's go check it out tomorrow."
Song Nanting did not refuse. She originally wanted to wait a few more days before telling Lu Jianan, but who could have thought that Lu Jianan would be so impatient.
Just say it, it doesn’t matter if you’re not pregnant. You can get pregnant if you try a few more times.
The next morning, Lu Jianan simply asked Xiao Wang to help him take a morning off so that he could take Song Nanting to the hospital for a check-up.
Seeing the two of them go out together, the neighbors outside were surprised and asked, "What are they doing?"
Song Nanting smiled and said, "Just wandering around when I have nothing to do."
There is a small clinic near the canteen in the army. For serious illnesses, we go to the military hospital in the provincial capital, and for minor illnesses, we go to this clinic.
Although it is called a clinic, it is quite large and has all the necessary departments. It can do some simple examinations without any problem.
The doctor who examined Song Nanting was a doctor in his sixties. He felt her pulse first, asked some questions, and said, "I feel that you are pregnant, but if you want to see how big the baby is, you have to go to the provincial capital's general hospital. There are machines there that can take a look."
Song Nanting looked at Lu Jianan, and Lu Jianan said, "Then let's go?"
Song Nanting hesitated and asked the doctor, "Is it okay to wait for a while?"
"Yes, it will be more accurate if you take a photo in three months, and you can see everything. If you go now, it will just be like looking at a bean sprout." The doctor smiled and said to Lu Jianan, "Of course, if Captain Lu is in a hurry, you can go too."
Song Nanting knew that Lu Jianan was also busy recently, so she said hurriedly, "Wait until you have a break next time, I'm not feeling unwell."
Lu Jianan had no choice but to agree.
But I also carefully asked the doctor about precautions and dietary issues.
The doctor looked at them and smiled, "There's nothing else to worry about. Just eat and drink as usual. It's just the sex between husband and wife. Don't do it during the dangerous period in the first three months and the last three months."
Well, after saying this, the couple blushed.
