Previously, we had planned to invite colleagues from the research institute to our home for dinner, but due to various reasons, we were unable to do so.

This time, it was Cen Zhengnian’s birthday, so Chuxia discussed with him: “How about inviting your better colleagues from the research institute to help you celebrate on your birthday?”

Cen Zhengnian was taking off the scarf from his neck, and when he heard this, he said: “I don’t need to celebrate my birthday like this, I can just eat an egg on that day.”

He didn’t care about these ceremonies, and it was Chuxia who was busy with the birthday celebration, so he didn’t want her to be too tired.

Chuxia turned around and looked at Cen Huaian: “An’an, do you want to celebrate Dad’s birthday?”

“Yes!” Cen Huaian nodded immediately. He thought for a moment and said: “But Mom, I only want to celebrate Dad’s birthday with you.”

In fact, Chuxia also wanted this, but she had to find a reason to invite everyone to dinner.

"An An and I moved here. Your teacher helped us. Your colleagues also helped us when we had something to do. We should treat them to a meal."

Cen Zhengnian looked at Chu Xia and nodded. "Let's set the time for this Sunday. I can come back to help."

"Okay."

On Sunday, Chu Xia started to get busy after having lunch in the morning.

The dishes were all discussed in advance by Chu Xia and Cen Zhengnian. He bought them at noon.

Cen Zhengnian was still not good at picking vegetables as usual. However, there were no fresh green vegetables in winter. The other potatoes and cabbages were big and small, but there was nothing rotten. Cen Zhengnian still knew how to look at them.

Cen Zhengnian took a day off today. He and Cen Huaian helped Chu Xia in the kitchen.

However, the kitchen was small, so Chu Xia soon let Cen Huaian go out to play by himself.

She called Grandpa Jiang and told him that An An would not go to his house to learn chess today, but he needed to learn at home.

Only Chu Xia and Cen Zhengnian were left in the kitchen. Chu Xia gave instructions and Cen Zhengnian did what she was told.

"Peel the potatoes."

"Cut the beef into pieces."

"Wash this piece of pork."

Because it was a dinner party, they had to prepare several dishes. Not to mention Chu Xia, Cen Zhengnian was busy too.

He was either sitting on a small stool peeling potatoes, or cutting meat on a chopping board, or washing cabbage in front of the faucet.

Chu Xia was always by the pot, cooking over the coal stove.

Because there were so many dishes to cook, she even borrowed Yan Hemin's coal stove.

Cen Zhengnian felt tired because of the two of them. He thought to himself that it was a good thing that he had asked for leave to come back, otherwise Chu Xia would be so tired if she was alone.

After a busy morning, all the dishes were finally ready. At this time, the colleagues from the research institute invited by Cen Zhengnian also came.

Cen Zhengnian did not invite many people. In addition to Yan Hemin and Ye Xingxiu, he also invited five people with whom he had a good relationship.

There were dozens of people in a research laboratory. It was impossible for Cen Zhengnian to invite everyone. He did not have much interpersonal relationship in his work.

As soon as Yan Hemin came in, he gave Cen Zhengnian the gift he brought: "Happy birthday, do you have a cake?"

"Yes." Cen Zhengnian did not exchange pleasantries with Yan Hemin, and took his gift and put it aside.

"But you can't eat too much, teacher."

Yan Hemin's smile immediately fell: "Zhengnian, you are becoming more and more unreasonable, just like your master's wife."

Cen Zhengnian nodded and accepted Yan Hemin's words: "Teacher, I am doing this for your own good."

At this time, other people also came in. Seeing the red apron Cen Zhengnian was wearing, they couldn't help laughing.

However, everyone knew that today was Cen Zhengnian's birthday, so they tried to hold back their laughter, but it didn't work.

Among them, Ye Xingxiu laughed the loudest: "Cen Zhengnian, you are like this today, it's not common!"

Cen Zhengnian looked calm and didn't feel any loss of face because of their laughter. He looked at them and said, "Come in and have a meal."

Those people didn't see any expression on Cen Zhengnian's face, and they also felt that laughing was boring. They just thought that Cen Zhengnian looked funny in this outfit, and they didn't mean to laugh at him.

In many families, if the husband's friends and colleagues are invited to dinner, the wife will take the children to eat aside after cooking, and will not sit at the table .

But Chuxia didn't do that. She even asked Cen Zhengnian specifically: "Where should I eat?"

Cen Zhengnian said: "At the table."

There was only this table of food, so of course everyone sat together to eat. And this was the meal Chuxia cooked. If she couldn't eat it, then no one else was qualified to eat it.

Chuxia raised the corners of her mouth. Even if Cen Zhengnian didn't let her eat, she would still sit here to eat, but Cen Zhengnian would never be able to eat the meal she cooked in the future.

Except for Yan Hemin and Ye Xingxiu, everyone else was stunned when they saw Chuxia sitting next to Cen Zhengnian with her children.

Chuxia smiled at them and said, "Thank you, Mr. Yan, and everyone for coming to celebrate Zhengnian's birthday. Everyone, please feel free to eat. If anyone is not full, just say so. There is more in the pot over there."

Yan Hemin smiled and continued, "We are not prepared to be polite. We have all tasted your cooking skills. Zhengnian has married a good wife!"

Cen Zhengnian used a serving chopstick to pick up a piece of beef for Yan Hemin, with a smile on his face, "Teacher, try it. Everyone, eat too."

No alcohol was consumed, as work was still needed in the afternoon, but Chuxia prepared soda and good tea.

There were meat and vegetables, soup and cake, and the staple food was steamed bread and rice, satisfying everyone's taste.

Everyone had been working for the whole morning and was already very hungry. Just now, when they smelled the aroma of various foods outside, they couldn't help but drool.

Now they could finally eat, and the food tasted so good. They were not sociable people, so everyone at the table immediately buried their heads in their food and no one spoke at all.

Even the talkative Ye Xingxiu was no exception.

When everyone was almost full and had finished eating, Ye Xingxiu looked at Cen Zhengnian with envy: "You can eat such delicious meals every meal, you are so happy!"

Cen Zhengnian drank the seaweed egg drop soup in the bowl slowly and said: "Not every meal."

Ye Xingxiu looked at him, and Cen Zhengnian raised his head and continued: "One or two meals a day. Chuxia has to go to school."

Chuxia has lived in the institute for so long that Cen Zhengnian's colleagues all know her name.

Ye Xingxiu: ...

Yan Hemin also said, "I haven't had such delicious food for a long time."

Other colleagues echoed.

After dinner, Cen Zhengnian cut the cake. He bought it there when he came back from school yesterday. There is no cake store near the institute.

All colleagues, including Ye Xingxiu, were given a large piece of cake. Only Yan Hemin got a cake that he ate in two bites.

"Zhengnian, isn't your differentiated treatment a bit too much?"

Cen Zhengnian said, "Last time, Master's wife..."

"Stop, that's all." Yan Hemin immediately stopped him from talking and quickly lowered his head to eat the cake.

After seeing off these colleagues, Cen Zhengnian cleaned up the mess on the table.

Chuxia was about to reach out to help clear the plates when Cen Zhengnian stopped her: "You don't have to do it. I'll do the rest. You take An'an to bed. You've worked hard today."

Chuxia smiled and patted his arm: "You've worked hard, too."

Not long after Cen Zhengnian's birthday, Chuxia was about to take her final exam.

The exam atmosphere in the College of Traditional Chinese Medicine is particularly strong at this moment. During the midterm exam, the teacher said that the final score accounts for a large proportion of the total score and is also linked to the scholarship.

Who doesn't want to get a scholarship? Even if you don't get a scholarship, the study of a semester is over, and no one wants to have a bad grade. Usually

there are many people in the school library, and now the number of people has doubled. If you go a little late, there will be no seats, not to mention no place on the ground.

In the days leading up to the exams in Chu Xia, she lived in the school. She had to spend more energy reviewing. There were many people in her class who had strong learning ability. If she relaxed, she would be surpassed by others.

Basically, the final exam will not test questions beyond the syllabus, and the test will only cover the content learned this semester. As long as you study and review carefully, you will not do poorly in the exam.

The girls in Chu Xia's dormitory were more nervous than Chu Xia and Ye Mengchun. Usually everyone would still talk and laugh after evening self-study.

Now after washing, I just hug the book and read it.

The books by Chu Xia and Ye Mengchun were the most popular among them. Whenever they encountered a problem, they would quickly turn around and ask the two of them, for fear that they would encounter it during the exam.

With everyone's excitement, we finally passed all the subjects in the final exam.

Chuxia breathed a sigh of relief after walking out of the last exam room. At this time, small snowflakes were floating outside. Chuxia covered her face with her gloved hands and hurried to the dormitory.

There were not many things in her dormitory, and she didn't take them home. She just folded them up and covered them with a sheet to prevent dust.

Most of the other people in the dormitory had bought tickets, and they packed their clothes and prepared to go home.

Chuxia got out of bed, put on her shoes, and waved to them: "Sisters, I'm going home first, see you next semester."

"See you next semester!"

It was the first time for Chuxia to celebrate the New Year in Beijing.

When she was in the northwest last year, she didn't know that Cen Zhengnian would come to Beijing. At that time, she told Jiang Shengnan and Cen's father that she would go to the northwest during the summer vacation.

Later, Cen Zhengnian came to Beijing, and Chuxia didn't take An An to the northwest again during the summer vacation.

Last year, she did not prepare New Year's goods by herself. She prepared them together with Jiang Shengnan. This year, she took care of

everything by herself. But fortunately, she could discuss with Cen Zhengnian what to buy in the evening. There were only three people in their family, so they didn't need to prepare too much.

Cen Huaian was also on winter vacation, so Chuxia took him with her and bought a little bit every day. She would go out and buy whatever she remembered, and gradually she had everything ready.

The family reunion dinner was eaten at Grandpa Jiang's house.

The New Year atmosphere was very strong at this time. Zhang Lu brought his two younger brothers and Hong Youxuan to set off firecrackers in the alley.

Cen Huaian also shed his usual adult look at this time, and played with firecrackers happily with his friends.

In the alley, the sound of various firecrackers continued.

Someone's cat got scared and jumped onto the wall. When it saw the two dogs Huangzi and Heizi lying in the yard, it quickly ran away. Instead

of going to the northwest, Chuxia and Cen Zhengnian could only wish Cen's father and Jiang Shengnan a happy new year over the phone.

Jiang Shengnan talked about the Chinese New Year last year, but this year the house was much quieter.

Chuxia felt a little sad, but Cen Zhengnian was in Beijing and he didn't have a holiday, so she couldn't leave him and take An An to the northwest.

She could only say, "I hope Zhengnian will have a holiday next year, and we will go to the northwest to celebrate the New Year with you."

Jiang Shengnan smiled happily and said, "I'm glad you have this intention. Zhengnian's work is important."

This year's Lantern Festival, Cen Huaian also made small orange lanterns.

But this year, Hu Pandeng, Xiaohe and the others were not there. Cen Zhengnian only played with the little orange lantern with Zhang Lu and Jiang Weixian.

However, when he took it out at night in the family courtyard of the research institute, he still attracted the attention of the children.

Except for not spending the Spring Festival with his grandparents, Cen Huaian had a very happy Spring Festival this year and received a lot of red envelopes.

Time always flies quickly after the Spring Festival.

It feels like we are still wearing winter clothes in the last second, and the weather gets hot in the next second, and everyone takes off their cotton padded jackets.

"Mom, our teacher said we are going on a spring outing."

Most schools' spring outings are in March and April.

The climate at this time is neither cold nor hot, and nature has revived. You can see many flowers and plants that have already grown, which is perfect for spring outings.

"Where are we going for the spring outing?" Chuxia was writing the daily homework assigned by the teacher. When she heard this, she stopped and looked at him. "

The teacher said it's in the nearby fields. Let's prepare everything and go the day after tomorrow." Cen Huaian had been on an autumn outing before. The things to prepare for the spring outing are similar to those for the autumn outing. There are snacks and bread at home. Just bring hot water. There is no need to go out to buy them. "Okay, bring whatever you want to eat. How about mom making you a rice ball?" Cen Huaian had eaten rice balls before. Chuxia made them for him, and he also made them for his mother. An An licked his lips. He is now looking forward to the arrival of the spring outing. The day after tomorrow morning, after breakfast, Chuxia took Cen Huaian to the kitchen to make rice balls. The spring outing starts at 8:30, and there is enough time to go to school after making the rice balls. This is simple. In early summer, you have already prepared the rice, meat, and vegetables to be put into the rice balls.

Just lay out the rice, meat, various vegetables and meat floss layer by layer, and use tools to wrap these foods together. With the mold, you can make any shape.

Before, in order to make rice balls, Chuxia specially bought a mold for making snacks. It is quite easy to use. It can make a shape with one press, and there are all kinds of flower shapes.

Cen Huaian also likes the process of pressing rice balls. The two of them, one big and one small, were pressing them in the kitchen and laughing.

Chuxia: "An An, do you think the plum blossoms look good?"

An An: "They look good. Mom, the word "Fu" looks good too."

Chuxia: "Peace is not bad either."

Cen Zhengnian sat on a chair in the living room, looking at the two figures in the kitchen, his eyes filled with smiles.

Cen Huaian's spring outing was just as he said. Teacher Han led his class to walk on the ridges of the fields in the nearby suburbs, surrounded by green wheat.

Other classes were also led by their head teachers.

Each teacher was telling the students in their class what the plants in the fields were.

Everyone knew about wheat, after all, the school was nearby and everyone could see it.

But the children didn't know about the wild flowers, weeds and vegetables on the roadside, so the teachers mainly talked about these.

Teacher Han had a loud voice, which overwhelmed the voices of the teachers in other classes, as if his deep voice filled the entire field: "This is dandelion, the scientific name is dandelion, although you can see it everywhere, don't underestimate it..."

Cen Huaian listened to Teacher Han talking about the healing effects of various dandelions, his eyes fixed on the dandelions on the roadside: these can be eaten.

Teacher Han talked about shepherd's purse again, and the topic turned to eating: "Shepherd's purse is the best when it is made into dumplings, with some pork belly or eggs, and it can also be steamed..."

He not only said this, but also described the taste of various delicacies made from shepherd's purse, which made the second-grade children drool.

Cen Huaian raised his hand and asked Teacher Han: "Teacher Han, can I dig these shepherd's purse later?"

Teacher Han: "Yes! As long as you don't step on other people's land, you can dig wild vegetables on the roadside."

Cen Huaian made a mental note of another edible wild vegetable.

After walking for a while, Teacher Han basically finished talking about all the common wild vegetables and weeds, and everyone walked into a forest where wheat was not grown.

Teacher Han let everyone move freely, but they were not allowed to step on the wheat or run far. They had to stay within his sight, and he would keep an eye on them all the time.

These children were afraid of Teacher Han, and whatever he said was what they did.

Cen Huaian took out a small shovel and a cloth bag, which his mother gave him before he went out.

Chuxia knew that he was going on an outing to the nearby fields, so she asked him to dig up some wild vegetables he knew. If he didn't know them, forget it.

When Cen Huaian squatted on the ridge of the field to dig wild vegetables, a classmate ran over curiously and squatted beside him.

"Cen Huaian, what are you digging these things for?"

"To eat."

The classmate also remembered what Teacher Han said, swallowed his saliva and said, "I want to eat too."

Cen Huaian scooped up the wild vegetables in front of him with a shovel, shook off the dirt, put it in his cloth bag and said, "Then you dig it yourself."

The classmate didn't have a shovel, Cen Huaian thought about it, picked up a wooden stick from the side and gave it to him: "You use this to dig it."

There was no cloth bag to put it in.

An An looked at his schoolbag: "Put it there."

The classmates who ran to other places to play saw the two digging wild vegetables and ran over .

The classmate said proudly: "I will dig it and go home to let my mother make dumplings for me."

Other classmates: They want to eat it too.

Then they joined in digging wild vegetables, and gradually, all the classmates squatted there to dig.

Cen Huaian turned around to look at his classmates and frowned. There were too many people and there were not enough wild vegetables to dig.

He stood up and looked for another place to dig.

Teacher Han had been paying attention to this place and saw that it was Cen Huaian who took the lead in digging wild vegetables.

He walked over, squatted beside Cen Huaian, raised his hand to pluck a dandelion and gave it to him: "Why did you think of digging here? And you brought a shovel."

Cen Huaian: "My mother gave it to me. Teacher, you said wild vegetables are delicious."

And my mother let him dig.

Teacher Han picked up his cloth bag, which was mostly full: "That's perfect. When you are done digging, lend me the shovel. The teacher also likes to eat wild vegetables."

In the end, Class 2 of the Affiliated Primary School became the most special class in the entire grade, and all the teachers followed to dig wild vegetables.

The other classes were either running around happily on the ridges of the fields, or sitting and eating and talking, or playing various games.

They were all different from the style of Class 2.

At noon, when Cen Huaian was eating rice balls, he attracted the exclamations of his classmates again.

"Cen Huaian, what is this?"

"Why can your rice be made into flowers?"

"Yes, yes, there is stuffing inside, it looks delicious."

Everyone instantly felt that the snacks, bread, steamed buns, and dumplings in their hands were not fragrant.

Cen Huaian gave the classmates two rice balls to eat. Chuxia told him that he should share food with his classmates during the spring outing. Rice balls can be made at home.

There are not many rice balls, one for each person.

Everyone has not eaten it before, so they think it is delicious. Some people want to exchange their food with Cen Huaian.

Cen Huaian gave two more and refused to give more, because he would not have enough to eat if he gave more. He didn't want to eat other people's steamed buns and

steamed bread , he only wanted to eat the rice balls made by his mother. When returning home, everyone in the second class of the attached primary school carried a schoolbag full of wild vegetables. Of course,

their bodies and faces were covered with mud, and their schoolbags were also full of mud. Even Cen Huaian was no exception. But the good thing was that his schoolbag was still clean, and the mud on his clothes was only on his sleeves and trousers, and there was also mud on his face.

Chuxia saw Cen Huaian carrying a backpack on one side and a cloth bag on the other, with a dirty face as if he had just rolled back from the ground, and she laughed out loud.

Cen Huaian raised his head and looked at his mother with confused eyes, not understanding what she was laughing at: "Mom?"

Chuxia looked at his eyes and wanted to laugh even more.

She took out a handkerchief and wiped Cen Huaian's face: "You've become a little cat, digging wild vegetables?"

"Yeah!"

Cen Huaian immediately opened the cloth bag to show her: "Mom, I dug a lot."

"Great!" Chu Xia patted his head, and some dry soil fell off. She laughed again, took off the cloth bag and schoolbag on Cen Huaian, and let him take a bath.

The other children in Class 2 encountered similar situations as Cen Huaian when they returned home. Some parents laughed, some parents had a headache, and some parents scolded them for getting dirty again, and it would be difficult to wash their clothes later.

However, after knowing that their children got into this state by digging wild vegetables, especially seeing the schoolbag of wild vegetables, they were all moved, angry, and wanted to laugh.

The schoolbag was completely unusable. The point was that there were a lot of inedible weeds mixed in the wild vegetables.

They held their foreheads, laughed and scolded, and took their little mud monkeys to take a bath.

In the evening, everyone ate the wild vegetable delicacies they had been longing for.

Chuxia made shepherd's purse and egg dumplings. Cen Huaian helped her roll the dough. After Cen Zhengnian came back, he rolled the dough and added him.

There was enough for three people to eat.

Chuxia asked Cen Zhengnian to send a bowl of dumplings to Yan Hemin. Cen Zhengnian thought of Ye Xingxiu. If he gave it to Yan Hemin but not to him, he would have to whisper in his ear for a long time, so he also brought him a bowl.

The main feature of shepherd's purse and egg dumplings is their freshness. The combination of the freshness of wild vegetables and eggs is even more fresh.

The dumplings were still a little hot, but Cen Huaian bit the dumplings and exhaled hot air, and he was reluctant to spit them out.

Cen Zhengnian also ate one at a time, but his movements were more elegant. But looking at the dumplings in his bowl, you can tell that he loves to eat this.

Chuxia also loves to eat it.

Two days before Qingming Festival, Chuxia and Cen Zhengnian took Anan with them to sweep the graves of Grandpa Jiang and Grandma Jiang.

Anan also had to go to sweep the graves of martyrs with the school during Qingming Festival, and the two days before Qingming Festival happened to be Sundays, so everyone had a day off.

Cen Huaian followed Cen Zhengnian and knelt in front of Grandma Jiang's tombstone, shouting childishly: "Grandma, Anan is here to see you."

Chuxia stood aside and held an umbrella for the two of them.

It always rains around Qingming Festival.

After paying respects to Grandma Jiang, everyone walked out of the cemetery. Chuxia, Cen Zhengnian, and An'an walked at the end. She looked up and accidentally saw Jiang Zhishu carefully protecting Luo Peng. Chuxia had some guesses in her mind.

Because of the light rain, the ground of the cemetery was a little slippery. When Chuxia walked out, she held An'an with one hand and tightly grasped Cen Zhengnian's arm with the other hand. Cen Zhengnian also walked very slowly.

Chuxia remembered last year that Jiang Zhishu and Luo Peng were not so careful.

But Chuxia was just a guess, and she forgot it later.

It was not until May when she brought An'an to Jiang's grandfather's house to learn chess that Jiang Zhishu and Luo Peng also came.

Luo Peng sat next to Chu Xia, with a gentler smile on his face: "Chu Xia, can you help me take another look at my body?"

Chu Xia looked at her, and Luo Peng's eyes were a little nervous.

She asked her to stretch out her wrist, and her fingers fell on her wrist. Chu Xia raised her eyebrows, verifying her guess.

She smiled and put down her hand, and said to Luo Peng and Jiang Zhishu: "Congratulations, cousin."

Luo Peng suddenly held Jiang Zhishu's hand tightly, turned to look at him, the tension in her eyes completely disappeared, revealing an excited look, and some tears appeared in her eyes.

She had a guess, but she was afraid that she had an illusion because she wanted to have a child. Until this month's menstruation did not come, Luo Peng asked Jiang Zhishu to bring herself to see Chu Xia.

Luo Peng knew that Chu Xia knew something about her physical condition, and she would not say anything nonsense.

Jiang Zhishu leaned over

and wiped Luo Peng's tears: "Why are you crying? This is a good thing." Luo Peng sniffed and smiled, tears still flowing down: "I can't control it, I'm too happy."

"Cousin, don't be too excited, follow my example and slowly calm down."

Chu Xia said, Luo Peng did as she was told, and the tears slowly stopped: "Chu Xia, thank you."

Chu Xia: "Cousin, it's not good for pregnant women to be overly excited or too sad. You should calm down, and there will be no problem with the fetus."

Luo Peng now listens to Chu Xia very much. If Chu Xia hadn't asked her to adjust her body, she might not be pregnant now.

"Then what should I do?"

Chu Xia told her about the precautions for pregnant women. She just opened her mouth, and Luo Peng asked her to wait a moment. She found a notebook and a pen, and then let Chu Xia continue.

Chu Xia said a sentence, and she wrote it down.

However, Luo Peng wrote slowly, and always asked Chu Xia to wait for her. Jiang Zhishu took the notebook and said, "I'll take notes."

He didn't need Chu Xia to wait, and he could keep up with Chu Xia's speed.

Luo Peng asked Chu Xia, "Can you tell how long I've been pregnant?"

"More than a month, cousin can go to the hospital for another check-up."

Luo Peng thought for a while and said, "Chu Xia, I want to wait for three months before telling you. Can you keep this secret for us?"

A long time ago, it was said that pregnancy cannot be revealed in the first three months, which is not good for the fetus.

Although this saying has no scientific basis, Luo Peng and Jiang Zhishu finally had a child, and they didn't want any mistakes.

"Okay." Chu Xia nodded.

At this time, there were only three of them in the living room. Grandpa Jiang was in the study, and Aunt Li was in the yard. They talked quietly, and no one else could hear them.

Luo Peng was three months pregnant. After the baby was stable, she first told her parents-in-law. Uncle Jiang and Yang Mei were very happy, and then the whole Jiang family knew about it.

This was a big happy event. The Jiang family hadn't had a new member for a long time. Even Grandpa Jiang's smile never faded, and he was particularly happy.

Cen Huaian asked Chu Xia: "Mom, will I have more brothers and sisters?"

"Yes." Chu Xia touched his head: "When your aunt's baby is born, you can see what the newborn brothers and sisters look like."

Cen Huaian imagined it and thought it must be very small. Chu Xia

saw that Luo Peng was pregnant, so she came to Grandpa Jiang's house from time to time on Sundays to talk to Chu Xia so that she would not be so panicked.

Especially as Luo Peng got older and older, and after she got over some of the discomforts during pregnancy, she started to talk to Chu Xia even more.

"I always have to go to the bathroom at night, what should I do?"

Chuxia was reading a book and had long been accustomed to Luo Peng's expression. She comforted her as usual, saying, "It's normal. When the baby grows bigger, the uterus will press on the bladder, making it easy to urinate more frequently."

"I get leg cramps easily when I sleep at night."

"You are calcium deficient. You need to supplement your nutrition."

...

No matter what Luo Peng asked, Chuxia could answer it. Although others told Luo Peng that it was normal, only Chuxia's words would make her feel at ease.

Cen Huaian often saw Luo Peng at Grandpa Jiang's house and saw how hard it was for her to carry the baby. He stared at Luo Peng's belly and thought of Chuxia.

"Mom, was it so hard when you were pregnant with me?"

Chu Xia touched Cen Huaian's head, looked into the distance and said, "Every mother has a hard time carrying and giving birth to a baby, so every mother is great."

Although the original owner had done something unfair to An An, it was also very hard for her to be pregnant and give birth to him.

Cen Huaian seemed to understand something vaguely. He raised his hands and hugged Chu Xia without saying a word.

Luo Peng gave birth at the end of the year. When Chu Xia found out, she had successfully given birth to a little girl.

She took An An to visit Luo Peng in the hospital.

Yang Mei, Uncle Jiang, Zhishu Jiang, and Zhida Jiang were all there.

Zhishu Jiang sat by Luo Peng's bed, taking care of her while she ate, while the others were on the other side, happily watching the baby born by Luo Peng.

"How are you? Are you still in pain?"

Chu Xia handed the brown sugar eggs to Jiang Zhishu and asked Luo Peng.

Luo Peng shook her head with a happy smile on her face, and her face was full of maternal radiance when she looked at the baby.

"I'm fine. As long as I see her, I feel that everything is worth it."

Cen Huaian had already walked to the side of the baby, and Jiang Zhida made way for him to see the baby.

"An An, look at my niece, isn't she pretty?"

The newborn baby was red, and the skin on her face was wrinkled. She was very small. Cen Huaian felt that her little face was only as big as his palm.

But he didn't think she looked pretty. She was too red, and with a frown, she looked like a little old man.

He was confused for a long time, and looked at Jiang Zhida: "Uncle, my sister is so small."

"Yes, yes!" Jiang Zhida was excited, and put his hand next to the baby's hand: "An An, look, her fingers are so thin and small."

Cen Huaian nodded, full of curiosity about the baby.

Chuxia also went over to take a look. In fact, all babies are the same when they are just born. After a few days, they will be more beautiful.

Looking at the baby's facial features now, big eyes, double eyelids, small nose and mouth, it is obvious that he has picked the advantages of his parents, and he will become more and more beautiful in the future.

"Have you named it?" Chuxia asked Luo Peng and the others.

"Yes." Yang Mei said beside her, "Her father named her Jiang Weixi. He hopes that she will be as warm and happy as the sun in the future."

This name has a good meaning. Chu Xia looked at the baby and said, "Jiang Weixi, a very good name."

Cen Huaian was very satisfied when he saw the newborn baby. After returning home, he and Cen Zhengnian described the appearance of the baby he saw.

"Dad, she is very small. When she breathes, her little nose moves."

Cen Zhengnian had seen Cen Huaian's appearance when he was just born. He touched his head and said, "When you were just born, you were the same as your sister, so small, with a red and wrinkled face."

Cen Huaian wrinkled his nose. It was impossible to imagine what he looked like at that time.

"Was I so ugly when I was a child?"

"No." Cen Zhengnian said, "At that time, I thought you were the most beautiful child in the ward."

Fathers have the same feelings about their own children as Cen Zhengnian.

At night, Chuxia lay in Cen Zhengnian's arms and told him about Luo Peng's child.

"She is very cute and has beautiful facial features. I can imagine how beautiful she will be when she grows up."

Cen Zhengnian listened to the excitement in Chuxia's tone, and his eyes showed contemplation.

He listened to Chuxia talking more and more, and even talked about how the little girl would dress up to look better. He stopped Chuxia from saying, "Chuxia, giving birth is very hard, and now we have family planning, so we can't have a second child."

Cen Zhengnian knew how dangerous it was for pregnant women to give birth, and he didn't want Chuxia to go through this again.

Chu Xia slapped him in annoyance: "Who said I'm going to have a baby? I won't have another baby without family planning. We have An An, which is enough."

As a doctor, Chu Xia has seen too many pains of pregnancy and childbirth. She also knows how many cases of difficult labor there are.

The most dangerous one is amniotic fluid embolism. This process is very fast. In the future, when medicine is much more advanced than it is now, the chances of saving the baby are very low, let alone now.

And raising An An is very troublesome. Cen Zhengnian is so busy with work, and she also has studies. Chu Xia doesn't want to get pregnant and have another child, nor does she want to challenge these dangers.

Cen Zhengnian touched Chu Xia's head and said, "I thought you wanted a daughter, too."

"No. And if you want one, does it have to be a daughter?"

Cen Zhengnian shook his head.

Chuxia: "So don't let your thoughts wander so much. I don't want to have a second child."

Cen Zhengnian lowered his head and smiled, looking at Chuxia's face, his eyes fell on her lips, his voice a little hoarse: "I won't let you have a second child either."

As his voice fell, his kiss also fell on Chuxia's lips.

After pregnancy, all the current benefits are gone, and Cen Zhengnian is still a little selfish.

Chuxia went to class in the morning and almost didn't get up. It was all because Cen Zhengnian was too much yesterday. She said she wanted to go to school but she didn't listen.

If he does this again in the future, let him sleep in the living room, Chuxia thought angrily, quickly took the buns and eggs in the pot, and quickly ran to the bus stop.

Chuxia breathed a sigh of relief when she got on the bus, but she was very anxious in her heart. While looking at the time, she calculated how long it would take before class.

When she finally ran to the classroom, the bell for class just rang. Chu Xia sat in her seat and breathed a sigh of relief.

This was Mrs. Tang's class, and she would be doomed if she dared to be late.

Ye Mengchun glanced at Chu Xia, surprised that she came so late.

Who knew that when he looked down, he saw Chuxia without a scarf, and the red marks on her neck. Ye Mengchun studied Chinese medicine, and when he thought about Chuxia's late arrival, his face instantly turned red.
