Is she pregnant?
Yang Wei murmured these words, and it took him a while to come back to his senses.
"I...I want to be a father?"
"..."
It seemed like crows were flying over Ge Hong's head. How could someone be so slow-witted?
On the way back, Yang Wei carefully helped Ge Hong.
"Walk slowly, watch out for the stones below."
It's no wonder he's so cautious, because they've been married for almost a year but still don't have children, and he's getting anxious.
Ge Hong patted her husband's hand, feeling that he was making a mountain out of a molehill.
"This is just the doctor's guess. We need to go to the hospital for a check-up tomorrow."
She was happy to be pregnant, but another problem arose: who would take care of her then?
My mother can't come. Yang Wei will be too busy to even take care of himself.
Yang Wei glanced at Ge Hong's expression and asked, "Wife, are you unhappy?"
Ge Hong then spoke her mind, "Awei, if I get pregnant, who will take care of me?"
Although no tests have been done yet, it's pretty much confirmed.
Yang Wei stopped in his tracks and saw that Ge Hong's face was deathly pale, even with the powder on it.
He tentatively asked, "Should we call my mom over?"
His mother-in-law couldn't come over; he could only rely on his elderly mother in the countryside.
But Ge Hong seemed to dislike spending time with her mother.
Ge Hong frowned. To be honest, she didn't want to live with her mother-in-law in the countryside at all.
Rural people always have a certain smell, which she finds unpleasant.
Moreover, my mother-in-law is stingy and frugal, which is really unbearable.
But apart from her mother-in-law, it seems like no one else can take care of her.
Thinking about it this way, pregnancy is indeed quite annoying.
"If the baby in my belly is restless, then I'll have my mother-in-law come up later."
"Okay."
My wife finally spoke properly.
The next day, Yang Wei took Ge Hong to the hospital for a check-up.
Yang Wei couldn't help but smile when the test results came out.
However, what the doctor said next worried him.
"Don't be too happy yet. Your wife's pregnancy seems a bit unstable. It's best for her to rest in bed for the next month and come back for a check-up in a week."
Their expressions immediately changed.
Ge Hong placed her hand on her stomach and anxiously confirmed with the doctor again.
"Doctor, will there be something wrong with my body?"
She was more concerned about her health.
Upon hearing this, the doctor frowned slightly. What mother wouldn't care about her child?
"No, not at all."
Only after stepping out of the hospital gates did Yang Wei find his voice.
"Wife, I'll send a telegram right away and ask Mom to come up."
Sending a telegram would be faster.
The doctor's words really scared him.
This is his first child; nothing can happen to him.
"good."
This time, Ge Hong did not refuse.
Since she needs to rest in bed, she does need someone to take care of her.
"However, let me make this clear: if your mother makes a fool of herself again like she did last time, then we'll have to send her back."
"Okay." Yang Wei tapped his back teeth.
In less than a day, the whole compound knew that Ge Hong was pregnant.
Under the big tree, Wu Xiuying started gossiping again.
"I heard that Ge Hong is pregnant this time, and she even had her mother-in-law from the countryside come up to take care of her." He curled his lip and said, "Tsk tsk tsk, it's not even been a month yet, and she already needs someone to take care of her. She's too precious."
Back then, they were about to give birth, and they were still working in the fields.
It's true that different people have different fates.
"She's just lucky," Zhou Qian chimed in. "But doesn't she have trouble getting along with her mother-in-law from the countryside?"
I remember when the two of them had just gotten married, Ge Hong's mother-in-law from the countryside came to stay for a few days, and those days were chaotic.
It's not that the other person has a bad personality, it's just that they have too much of a rural vibe. They even pick up vegetable leaves that others have thrown away. Ge Hong felt ashamed and immediately sent her mother-in-law back to the countryside.
Wu Xiuying snorted coldly, "Let's just wait and see how this goes."
I was feeling a bit bored lately, so it's nice to have something new happen in the compound every now and then.
Su Jingjing also heard the news of Ge Hong's pregnancy. Thinking about the timeline in the book, it seemed to be around this time, but it seems that Ge Hong gave birth to a daughter in the end.
Two days later, the old lady from the countryside came up.
Yang Wei borrowed a car from the regimental commander to pick up his elderly mother.
Arriving at the station, it seemed I was late.
But Yang Wei couldn't see his mother at all, and he became anxious.
I was terrified that my mother would get lost, after all, I had experienced something like that before.
Just as he was about to ask for help, his mother called him softly, "Son, Mom is here."
Yang Wei immediately turned around and saw his mother's small body hidden in the corner, and his heart skipped a beat.
She ran over quickly, "Mom, what are you doing here?"
Grandma Yang poked her hands helplessly, thinking that her son was blaming her.
"Mom was afraid she would get lost, so she hid here as soon as she got off the bus."
Has she caused trouble for her son again?
Yang Wei couldn't bear to see his mother so cautious, so he softened his tone and said, "Let's go, let's go home to the family compound first."
"Why."
She glanced at the large bags behind her mother and asked in surprise, "Mom, did you bring all of this by yourself?"
How did my mother, with her small frame, manage to carry it over?
Grandma Yang squinted and smiled, "Yes, your mother is very strong."
Yang Wei believes this statement: every rural woman in the countryside is a strong woman; they are all forced by life's hardships.
“Isn’t Ge Hong pregnant? I thought I’d bring over as much food as possible from home. It’s not anything fancy, but it’s a small token of our family’s affection, and it’ll save us some money too.”
With her coming over, her son will need an extra pair of chopsticks, but life in the city isn't easy either.
The couple had been married for almost a year before the news of her pregnancy came, and she was happier than anyone else.
Upon hearing that Ge Hong's pregnancy was somewhat unstable, he immediately packed his things and came over, neglecting even the work in the fields, for nothing was more important than his grandson.
Yang Wei moved his lips, then sighed inwardly.
He could almost picture Ge Hong's dark face.
However, some things should be said in advance to avoid unpleasantness later.
He cleared his throat lightly. "Mom, we're in the city now, so you need to be careful from now on."
Granny Yang was taken aback.
Although her son didn't say it explicitly, she understood.
It must be because she made a fool of herself last time and embarrassed her son.
"Okay, Mom will listen to you and will definitely take good care of Ge Hong."
As long as the young couple is happy, she's fine with anything.
Yang Wei was relieved and made two trips back and forth before finally loading the items into the car.
When Granny Yang saw this big guy, she exclaimed, "Son, where did this car come from?"
Her son can drive?
An uncontrollable smile played at the corners of his mouth.
"Mom, this is a military vehicle. I borrowed it from the regimental commander."
The last time I came to pick up my mother, I came by car.
Granny Yang seemed to float away as she sat down; it was so comfortable that she didn't know where to put her hands and feet, afraid of getting the car dirty.
