It was not until the evening that Zhao Meiya came to eat and found that the dishes on the table were rather light in taste.
She asked worriedly, "Dongbao, don't you like spicy food? What's wrong? Do you have a poor appetite or are you tired of it?
How about I go to the market tomorrow and get you some beef?"
He Ruixue paused her chopsticks holding the vinegar-fried bean sprouts in mid-air, and suddenly realized that she had forgotten something before, and felt a little guilty.
Under the table, she gently bumped Jiang Yanxu's leg with her knee, signaling him to push up quickly.
The latter realized his negligence, put down his bowl and chopsticks, and said apologetically, "Mom and Dad, look at me, I was so happy that I almost forgot to tell you that Ruixue is pregnant."
"real!"
Zhao Meiya's butt had just touched the stool when she quickly stood up upon hearing this. She walked around He Ruixue for a few circles, not knowing what to do.
"Dongbao, are you feeling unwell? Have you been to the hospital for a check-up?"
"Everything is fine. I just came back from the hospital this morning. It's been a month."
"Then you still have two months to get a stable job. Why don't you ask your boss for leave and rest at home for a few more days?"
He Ruixue refused, "No, I don't feel anything at all. Many workers struggle until the first few days of production.
I'm an office worker, I don't have to worry about the weather, and yet I'm asking for leave right after I get pregnant. It's really hypocritical."
The main reason is that she was promoted to team leader not long ago, and she cannot allow anyone to take advantage of the opportunity to seize power.
"Well, they are people, you are you, and no one is as precious as your body.
Mom has been waiting for years, and finally the He family's golden grandson has arrived. If anything happens to him, it will tear my heart apart, right? "
He Dagen was delighted and went to get the wine excitedly, intending to take a few sips.
Turning around and hearing her words, he shook his head and said, "Fortunately Chunsheng's family is not here, otherwise I would be upset to hear what you said."
"No matter what he thinks, the baby that came out of Dongbao's belly is no match for any other child."
Zhao Meiya touched her belly. Her long-cherished wish had finally come true. Anticipation welled up in her eyes. "Grandma's darling grandson will definitely be the smartest and best-looking."
He Ruixue didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Mom, I'm pregnant with a child, not Nezha."
"What nonsense are you talking about? Nezha has been pregnant for three whole years. How could your mother bear to let you suffer that?"
After all, Zhao Meiya loves her daughter because she loves her daughter. In her eyes, her daughter is the most important.
She smiled, but her eyes were moist and red, "Damn, Dongbao has grown up and is going to be a mother.
You are a child yourself, how could you possibly endure the pain of childbirth? But there is no other way, everyone has to go through this, and I wish I could give birth to a child for you."
He Ruixue hugged her and tried to comfort her. "Mom, I'm not afraid. Don't worry. I feel fine. I don't have any of the reactions others have. I'm still full of energy."
"It's a beautiful day, why are you crying?"
He Dagen expressed his confusion and poured himself a glass of wine. The wrinkles at the corners of his eyes smoothed out and joy spread to the bottom of his heart.
"Dongbao, from now on, if you want something to eat or want, just tell Dad. No matter if it flies in the sky or swims in the sea, Dad will get it for you no matter what."
"You know shit! I didn't even bother to tell you, and you're showing off your abilities."
Zhao Meiya turned around and scolded him.
How can a man understand the difficulties a woman faces in giving birth? Just wait outside the door for a few hours and the child will naturally come into his hands.
The man who lived next door to her in the village even felt bored of waiting and was annoyed by the noise inside, so he ran off to play cards with others and only came back happily after the baby was born.
Fortunately, He Dagen was not that kind of person. When she gave birth, he hired two midwives, who boiled water, stewed chickens, and handed out towels, busying themselves from beginning to end. Otherwise, she would definitely stop after giving birth to one child.
What does he deserve to have a child?
He Dagen was scolded for no reason, but he was not angry. Now all his thoughts were on his daughter.
After thinking about it carefully, he felt that these two people were unreliable. "We found out about it at noon, why are you telling us now? Xiao Jiang, logically, you should have come and told us a long time ago."
"That's right, Dongbao is young and naive. How old are you?"
Zhao Meiya felt a little bothered that she was not the first person to know about it. She could not bear to blame her daughter, so she directed all her dissatisfaction towards Jiang Yanxu.
"You're about to become a father, yet you're still only concerned with your own happiness. I used to think you were steady, but why did you let down at the critical moment?"
Hearing the complaints from his parents, Jiang Yanxu of course apologized repeatedly and was also bombarded with a lot of precautions.
He nodded and patiently memorized it in his head.
The next day, He Ruixue's status at home was promoted from emperor to emperor emeritus.
When she takes a walk, there is always at least one person accompanying her. All the stones on the road are cleared away, and even the water used for washing hands is sprinkled in the designated place.
If I accidentally spilled water on the patio and caused it to freeze, Zhao Meiya would scold me so badly that I wouldn't be able to raise my head.
She even pulled the ears of the two dogs and gave them instructions for an hour. The core idea was that they should guard the house well and not let wild cats and mice enter the yard to scare their owners, regardless of whether they understood or not.
Opposite He Ruixue, He Xiaojie was chewing on a pear that He Chunsheng had gone to great lengths to exchange for. The pear was juicy but not very sweet.
She didn't like it, so she gave half of it away.
Staring at her belly, He Xiaojie asked curiously, "Aunt, you're pregnant."
As she spoke, her face turned bitter again, "Now that you and I are almost the same age, my mother will definitely push me even harder."
"It all depends on fate. How about I ask your brother-in-law to tell your fortune? He's very accurate."
After spending a few years together, the He family had more or less witnessed Jiang Yanxu's abilities and vaguely realized that he was a very powerful master.
