Although Li Shaozhong had little experience, he also felt that his wife had been acting strangely in recent days. "Wife, you haven't had your period for a long time. Do you think you might be pregnant?"
After being reminded of this, Ye Shuning thought about it and realized that it was true. She had not had her period for two months. Considering her current physical reaction, she was probably pregnant.
Ye Shuning looked at Li Shaozhong and said, "I think it's about time. You might really be a father."
At this moment, Ye Shuning also had a wonderful feeling in her heart, feeling that a little life was growing in her body.
Li Shaozhong was really happy. He was going to be a father. Although it was not completely certain, he thought it was almost certain.
Li Shaozhong carefully supported his wife and said, "Let's go to the county hospital for a checkup tomorrow."
In the evening, Li Shaozhong said to Gu Yucheng, "Comrade Gu, my wife has been feeling unwell for the past two days. I'll take her to the county hospital tomorrow. When you get here in the morning, just lead the workers to work."
Upon hearing this, Guyucheng asked worriedly, "Is Comrade Ye okay? Don't worry, I'll lead everyone to work tomorrow."
Li Shaozhong came back early in the evening. Seeing Ye Shuning was about to cook, he quickly went over and helped her into the house. "Wife, I'll make dinner. You take a rest."
Ye Shuning looked at Li Shaozhong's nervous expression with some amusement. "I might be pregnant, not terminally ill. I'm not that squeamish. Cooking isn't a big deal, and it's not tiring. It's okay."
Li Shaozhong helped Ye Shuning sit up on the kang. "You've been feeling unwell for the past two days, so rest more. You need to be careful whether you're pregnant or not. My cooking may not be as delicious as yours, but I can cook a lot of dishes, so don't worry. If I don't know how to do it, I'll ask you, and you can give me instructions."
In the evening, Li Shaozhong cooked rice porridge in a big pot, took out some of the meat buns that Ye Shuning had bought before and put them on the steamer in the pot to heat them up, and also fried shredded potatoes with vinegar and bok choy.
After the workers and Guyucheng had left, Li Shaozhong closed the door before bringing the food to the table.
Li Shaozhong served his wife a bowl of thick rice porridge and said, "Wife, try the dish I cooked and see how it tastes."
Ye Shuning felt very comfortable being served by her husband, and she would not complain even if the food he cooked was not tasty. However, the food cooked by Chef Ye Shuning in Li Shaozhong was really good.
Ye Shuning tasted the dish and nodded, "It tastes very good. You are quite talented in cooking."
Li Shaozhong was very happy to be praised by his wife, "It's delicious, eat more."
This time, Li Shaozhong sat next to his daughter-in-law, paying attention to Ye Shuning's needs at all times and taking very thoughtful care of her.
The next morning, Li Shaozhong drove Ye Shuning to the county town. They went straight to the gynecology department at the county hospital. The doctor asked about Ye Shuning's symptoms and wrote her a prescription. The test results showed that Ye Shuning was indeed pregnant, almost two months along.
After receiving the confirmed news, Li Shaozhong was grinning from ear to ear, wanting to jump in the hospital corridor. However, seeing that there were quite a few people in the corridor, he restrained himself.
Ye Shuning smiled happily as she touched her belly. The moment she knew she was about to become a mother, she felt a stronger sense of responsibility on her shoulders. She had to work hard for her child.
Li Shaozhong carefully asked the doctor about the precautions for women during pregnancy before carefully helping Ye Shuning out of the county hospital.
Li Shaozhong grinned and said, "I'll call our mother when I get home. She'll be so happy."
After helping his wife into the car, Li Shaozhong drove very slowly on the way back, for fear that the car would bump into her.
Gu Yucheng saw Li Shaozhong and his team's car coming back and hurried over to ask about Ye Shuning's condition, "Comrade Li, is Comrade Ye okay?"
Li Shaozhong now desperately wanted to share the news that he was going to be a father with others. "Comrade Gu, it's okay. Xiao Ning is pregnant."
Gu Yucheng was relieved when he heard that Ye Shuning was pregnant and not suffering from any disease, "Oh, congratulations."
Li Shaozhong chuckled and said, "Thank you."
Gu Yucheng said, "Then quickly help Comrade Ye into the house to rest. Don't let Comrade Ye do strenuous work in the future. The conditions here are definitely not as good as yours in Kyoto, so you have to be more careful."
Li Shaozhong helped Ye Shuning into the house, took off her shoes, and helped her onto the kang. "Xiao Ning, you've been busy this morning. Lie down and take a rest. Don't worry about lunch, I'll make it."
Ye Shuning did feel a little tired, "Hubby, let me lie down for a while."
Soon Ye Shuning fell asleep.
Li Shaozhong felt relieved to see his wife was asleep and not feeling unwell. He tucked her in and went to the office to call home.
Yang Jinping answered the phone. Li Shaozhong said cheerfully, "Mom, I have good news for you. Xiaoning is pregnant. I'm going to be a father, and you're going to be a grandmother."
Yang Jinping was pleasantly surprised when she heard her son's words. "Son, it's true. That's great. How's Xiao Ning? Are there any pregnancy reactions?"
Li Shaozhong said, "Xiao Ning has been feeling down these past few days, so I took her to the county hospital for a checkup. The doctor confirmed that Xiao Ning is almost two months pregnant. Apart from being a little sleepy, she hasn't had any other symptoms."
Yang Jinping immediately gave her son a series of instructions on the phone about the precautions for pregnant women. "Shaozhong, Xiaoning is pregnant, so don't let her work anymore. Just take good care of her. She should take regular walks and eat nutritious food. I'll go buy some food and send it to you later. You have to take good care of Xiaoning."
Li Shaozhong said, "Mom, don't worry."
Yang Jinping sighed and said, "You are so far away from me, I can't get there."
Li Shaozhong knew his mother's worries. "Mom, I usually work around the house, and I'll come back from time to time. Besides, there will be less and less work in the future, and there will be others doing the work. I have no problem taking care of Xiao Ning."
Yang Jinping was worried that her son might not know the severity of his daughter-in-law's pregnancy, so she warned him, "Son, Xiao Ning is pregnant, so you have to be more careful. Don't make trouble for her without taking the proper precautions. You can't have sex during this period. It's very dangerous."
Li Shaozhong's face flushed red after hearing what his mother said, "Mom, I know, don't worry, I know the severity of the situation."
Yang Jinping gave repeated instructions before reluctantly hanging up the phone, and then quickly called the nanny at home to go out shopping together.
Pregnant women need nutrition, so they need to buy nutritional supplements and fine grains. When a baby is born, it needs a small blanket, small clothes, and diapers, so they also need to buy cloth and cotton.
After hanging up the phone, Li Shaozhong quickly called his father-in-law to report the good news.
Ye Xingguo was happy but also worried when he received a call from his son-in-law to learn that his daughter was pregnant. After all, conditions in the northwest are difficult, but he thought his daughter had a research institute, so at least she wouldn't be short of food and clothing.
Ye Xingguo asked: "Did Xiao Ning react? How is your health?"
Li Shaozhong replied, "Xiao Ning is just a little sleepy. The doctor said this is a normal pregnancy phenomenon. Everything else is fine."
