Chapter 34 Pregnant

"Mom, what delicious food did you make today? Why does it smell so good? I exercised a lot today and I feel like I can eat a whole cow now."

Lin Nuan returned home and parked her bicycle in the yard. She smelled the aroma of food and shouted as she walked into the house.

She thought Wang Xiaoli had come back from the tailor shop early today and made some delicious food, but she didn't expect to see He Yunzhou coming out of the kitchen after entering the house.

He Yunzhou had a smile on his face, an apron on his body and a spatula in his hand. It was obvious that he was the one cooking in the kitchen.

"Nuannuan is back. I made corn and pork ribs soup today. Go wash your hands first and we'll have dinner soon."

"Dad He, why are you cooking? My mom hasn't come back yet?

When Lin Nuan mentioned Wang Xiaoli, He Yunzhou's smile grew even bigger, and he pointed at their room with a spatula.

"Your mother is resting in the house."

As she was speaking, Wang Xiaoli opened the door and walked out.

There was a somewhat awkward expression on his face.

When He Yunzhou saw the person coming out, he became even more nervous and didn't even put down the spatula. He walked over quickly with a worried look on his face.

"Why did you come out? Didn't I tell you to have a good rest?"

"I'm fine, don't make a fuss."

"The doctor said you need to rest now. I cooked some corn and pork ribs soup. You must get enough nutrition. You have been too tired recently. You must not be stubborn anymore."

"I'm not a child anymore. I know my body and I'll take care of it. You've been nagging me all afternoon."

Lin Nuan watched the interaction between the two people and listened to their conversation. Especially after hearing the word "doctor", she became a little worried. She took two steps forward and looked at Wang Xiaoli with concern.

"Mom, what's wrong with you? Why did you go to the doctor? The tailor shop has been too busy recently. Are you tired?"

A trace of embarrassment flashed across Wang Xiaoli's face, and He Yunzhou smiled again, looking a little silly.

Doesn't this look like a disease?

He Yunzhou quickly solved her doubts.

"Nuannuan, your mother is pregnant. You will have a brother or sister soon."

Lin Nuan didn't react for a moment. She didn't expect that she would become a sister one day.

It didn't matter that she was stunned for a moment, but she was worried about He Yunzhou and Wang Xiaoli.

In fact, they both felt a little nervous and worried, fearing that Lin Nuan would not be able to accept the fact of having a younger brother and sister.

After all, in a reconstituted family like theirs, children would feel very insecure.

Wang Xiaoli looked at Lin Nuan cautiously, "Nuan Nuan, are you unhappy? Otherwise..."

Lin Nuan had already reacted when Wang Xiaoli called her. There was a light of surprise in her eyes. She looked at Wang Xiaoli's belly and interrupted what she was about to say.

"Mom, are you really pregnant? I'm going to have a little brother or sister, and I can be a big sister."

When she looked up again, her face was filled with a smile of joy and anticipation.

He Yunzhou and Wang Xiaoli breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.

Lin Nuan knew what they were worried about by looking at their expressions.

"Congratulations, Dad and Mom. I'm not unhappy. I was just too happy. I've been alone since I was a child. When I see other people have older brothers and sisters, I sometimes envy them. When other children fight, they have helpers, but I only have myself. Now, I will have helpers in the future.

I was worried before that if I got into college, you two would be lonely at home every day. Now it’s better. You will not be lonely anymore because you have a brother or sister to accompany you. ”

After listening to Lin Nuan's words, He Yunzhou and Wang Xiaoli no longer had any worries. Instead, they were touched by her kindness.

He Yunzhou: "Nuannuan, don't worry. No matter if you have a brother or a sister in the future, in your mother's and my heart, you are all the same. You are your mother's and my children, and our treasures."

It's rare for He Yunzhou to be so sentimental. This should be the so-called tenderness of a tough guy!

Lin Nuan smiled and nodded.

Lin Nuan also didn’t think that if He Yuanzhou and Wang Xiaoli had their own child, they would love her less as they did now.

She has the soul of an adult. Even now, she is about to turn 17, and will be an adult in a year. By then, she will leave home, go to school and work, and will have less and less time to spend with her family. She is very glad that Wang Xiaoli can get pregnant.

However, Wang Xiaoli will definitely not be as busy as before during this pregnancy. She is now an elderly pregnant woman, and there is still a certain degree of risk in getting pregnant at this age. She must be treated as a national first-class protected animal and taken good care of.

He Yunzhou went to the kitchen to busy himself, while Wang Xiaoli and Lin Nuan sat in the living room and talked privately.

Soon four dishes and a soup were served to the table: corn, red dates and pork ribs soup, scrambled eggs with tomatoes, shredded potatoes with vinegar, braised eggplant, and a dish from the cafeteria called braised pork.

He Yunzhou has been cooking frequently since Wang Xiaoli opened the tailor shop. Although his cooking skills are not as good as those of the chefs in restaurants, the food he cooks is still homely and quite good.

The family of three sat together and ate happily, and Wang Xiaoli did not suffer from morning sickness at all.

If she hadn't felt dizzy in the tailor shop today and went home to rest, He Yunzhou would have been worried and taken her to the hospital for a check-up after lunch. She wouldn't have known about this good news, mainly because the baby was still young, only six weeks pregnant.

In fact, Xiaoli's health has not been very good. Lin Nuan adds some spiritual spring water when cooking every day. In addition to wanting to help her family strengthen their physique, she also thought that maybe after their bodies have recovered, Wang Xiaoli and He Yunzhou can have another child.

Although both of them are almost 40 years old now, and Wang Xiaoli is an elderly mother as she is pregnant now, there are many women giving birth at the age of 40 in this era, especially in rural areas. After all, there are really no entertainment facilities in this era, so what else can they do if not to have children?

So now it is very common for a family to have four, five, five or six children, and some may even have seven or eight children.

A family must have at least three, or more, and having two children or just one is extremely rare.

It is nothing like the modern society of the 21st century, where young people advocate eugenics and family planning management is also very strict, and generally two children are the most common child in a family.

In big cities, most children are only children, while in the countryside, the most children will have is three, and four is very rare.

This is all off topic.

Generally speaking, in the first three months of pregnancy, the family will not make it known and will not explain it clearly. In short, this is the saying passed down by the older generation, but people generally don't hide it from their family members.

So after dinner, He Yuanzhou called home in Beijing and shared the good news with his family.

The call was answered by grandma (Tan Xiuwan). After knowing that Wang Xiaoli was pregnant, she insisted on rushing over here by car the next day to take care of the pregnant Wang Xiaoli. She was persuaded by grandpa (He Weiguo), uncle (He Yunyang), aunt (Qi Shiya), and He Yunzhou.
