Jiang Shushu returned home, touched her belly, and felt an indescribable joy in her heart.
Is this what maternal love is? Although it was not planned, since it has come, it must be fate.
"Baby, I'm your mother. Let me make a deal with you. I'll feed you with good food and drink, but you have to behave yourself and don't bother me, or I'll feed you pickles every day."
…
As soon as Yang Xiaobei got off work, he gave Jiang Shushu a hug.
Yang Xiaobei saw the sumptuous dinner tonight and smiled. "Wow, what a sumptuous dinner tonight! Braised pork, stir-fried chicken with chili peppers, and pork rib soup." Yang Xiaobei took a deep breath. "It smells so good."
"You work so hard every day. It's rare for me to take a vacation, so I have to make a good meal to reward you. Come, please sit down." Jiang Shushu helped Yang Xiaobei pull out the stool.
Yang Xiaobei, in a state of dramatic acting, sat down on the stool in a particularly stylish manner, acting like a true leader. "Ahem, Comrade Xiao Jiang, thank you for your hard work today. You've done an excellent job. On behalf of the Party organization, I commend you."
Yang Xiaobei couldn't help laughing after he finished speaking, "Haha, I'm really treated well today. If I go to the bureau to brag about it tomorrow, they will be so envious."
Jiang Shushu smiled and said, "Let's keep a low profile, otherwise I'm afraid you'll get beaten up one day. Let's eat, and I'll tell you something after dinner."
"What's the matter? Say it's nothing now."
"No, let's talk about it after dinner." I said that because I was afraid you would be too excited to eat.
"Okay, let's eat. I'll get you a bowl of soup." Yang Xiaobei took a bowl and poured a bowl of pork rib soup for Jiang Shushu.
After finishing the meal, Yang Xiaobei went to wash the dishes. After washing the dishes, Yang Xiaobei wiped his hands and sat on the sofa. "Shushu, tell me, what's the matter?"
"Well...good thing, I accidentally got pregnant and it's been six weeks. What do you think?"
Yang Xiaobei's eyes widened instantly, "You mean, you're pregnant."
Jiang Shushu nodded and said, "She's pregnant, absolutely true. I went to the hospital today."
Yang Xiaobei stood up immediately, his mouth almost grinning from ear to ear, and carefully supported Jiang Shushu, just like a little eunuch supporting the old Buddha, "Shushu, sit down quickly, sit down quickly, don't stand, it would be bad if you get tired."
"Don't worry about it. It's only been six weeks. Aren't you tired? I don't feel anything at all."
"It's too late when you feel tired. Sit down first."
Jiang Shushu had no choice but to sit on the sofa under Yang Xiaobei's force. Yang Xiaobei put his hand on Jiang Shushu's belly and touched it gently.
"You can't feel it without six or seven months."
Yang Xiaobei said seriously, "I can feel it."
Jiang Shushu: “…”Brother, that’s because I just had a full meal, so my belly is a little protruding. It’s not a child, it’s my flesh.
…
Yang Xiaobei not only touched Jiang Shushu's belly, but also put his ear against it and said, "Shushu, I heard some noise. It must be the child calling me."
Jiang Shushu smiled but said nothing, "..." How should I respond to this? Forget it, he's a new dad, so I won't discourage his enthusiasm.
Yang Xiaobei played with Jiang Shushu's belly for a few minutes before asking, "By the way, Shushu, how did you get pregnant? Aren't we both on birth control? Didn't you say you wanted to spend a few more years together as a couple? What did the doctor say? Is your body suitable for pregnancy? Is the baby healthy?"
"The doctor said that condoms can't completely prevent pregnancy. Since the child came unexpectedly, it proves that this child is meant to be with us. My baby and I are both very healthy. The doctor told me that if we can, we should go to the hospital for a checkup every month. This is better for me and the baby."
Yang Xiaobei had been running around everywhere before and had heard a lot about pregnancies: heavy bleeding during childbirth, stillbirth, and birth defects. He immediately became nervous. "We have to go. We have to listen to the doctor. If once a month isn't enough, we can go twice, or even three times. I'll go with you every month on my days off. If I'm really busy, then let Mom and Dad go. We can't be bothered by it. We have to nip any danger in the bud."
"Okay, but once a month is enough. I don't want to go to the hospital so often." Plus, I have the Nine Heavens Mysterious Deer Milk in my hand, so I'm sure nothing will happen.
Jiang Shushu is pregnant now. Yang Xiaobei doesn't want to upset Jiang Shushu, so he has to say tactfully, "Let's listen to the doctor first. I'll ask if we need more checkups later. If we do, we can check, okay?"
"Okay, Xiaobei, do you hope I'm pregnant with a boy or a girl?" Jiang Shushu had never asked this question because she had not planned to get pregnant so early. Now that she is pregnant, she somehow wants to know.
"As long as they are born by you, as long as they are my children, no matter whether they are boys or girls, they are our babies and I love them all."
"I just want to have two children so that they can have each other as companions. I say, if I give birth to both girls, would you feel it is a pity?" In this generation, 99% of people hope to have a son to carry on the family line.
"Why should I feel sorry for my daughter? She is my daughter. She is my treasure."
"You don't want a son to carry on the family line? Aren't you afraid that others will say you don't have a son?"
Yang Xiaobei glanced at Jiang Shushu, "To be honest, I think that compared to boys, they can spend more time at home, and it is easier for boys to survive in this society. To be honest, there are very few boys like me who can accept the girl's parents. I am afraid that my daughter will be wronged in the future. But I won't force it whether it is a boy or a girl. I am lucky if I know it, but not my fate. In my heart, even if I have children in the future, you are still the most important thing in my heart. I love both boys and girls. Anyway, we don't have any throne to inherit. If it is both girls, then I will work hard to save more money and try not to cause trouble to my daughter, so that she can stay in her husband's house with peace of mind. When we retire, I will take you out for a walk and see the beautiful rivers and mountains of our motherland. You didn't have the chance when you were young, and you didn't have the time when you grew up. You have to take a walk when you are old, don't you think?"
"No matter what son or daughter, when you retire, we will all go traveling. We can pay for it, but we can't be a mother-in-law or a father-in-law."
"Okay, we'll go when we retire."
"Then we have a deal. It's just the two of us. We'll just let things take their course."
"Okay, if the doctor says you are in good health, we can have two, otherwise we can just have one." Children are not as important as my wife. My wife can accompany me all my life, but my children cannot. Anyway, with my current income, I probably won't need my children to support me in my old age. One child to help collect the bodies will be enough.
"Shushu, you're pregnant. What about your job? The state-owned restaurant is so busy, I'm afraid you'll get hurt. How about we go back to the village and find a relative to take your place for a year?"
