Seeing that he was silent, Jian Shu was unhappy, "Why don't you say anything? You made a mistake and you're still trying to keep silent?"
Gu Mingjing sighed and pointed out the window, "Look again."
"What's so good about it? It's pitch black and you can't even see a ghost." Jian Shu took a look and then looked away, curling his lips.
"Please confirm the time again. Is it morning or evening now?" Gu Mingjing said quietly.
"Of course it's morning. It's still so dark, how could it be late—" Jianshu paused, his confidence gradually disappearing.
He glanced at Gu Mingjing furtively, looked up at the diary on the wall, and his brain quickly recalled things.
Thinking of what happened before going to bed, his eyes suddenly avoided.
Probably, it seems, should be at night.
It’s not the next day yet.
"Well, the weather outside misled me, so I thought it was the next day. I'm sorry, I shouldn't have been so mean to you." Jian Shu apologized weakly, and guessed why Gu Mingjing called her.
Gu Mingjing shook his head gently, reached out and touched her head, with a look of worry on his face, "Are you feeling unwell? Why did you fall asleep now? Do you want to go to the hospital?"
"I'm fine, I just felt a little sleepy so I went to sleep." She didn't know if it was a psychological effect, but she was lying down reading a book, and soon she started to feel sleepy, and she slept until now. If Gu Mingjing hadn't woken her up, she would probably have continued to sleep.
At this point, Jianshu's tone changed again, "However, let's go to the hospital to check it out." We need to have some definite information about whether she is pregnant or not, we can't just keep guessing.
After hearing the first half of her sentence, Gu Mingjing breathed a sigh of relief. He was glad that she was fine. But after hearing the second half, he was completely stunned. "???" Isn't she fine? Why do we have to go to the hospital again?
Gu Mingjing sat up straight and put his hand on Jianshu's shoulder, looking him up and down. "What's wrong with you? Why do you have to go to the hospital? Are you hurt? We can't wait to see a doctor. Let's go now!"
If Jianshu hadn't quickly reached out to stop him, he would have probably run to the hospital with Jianshu in his arms.
"Okay, I'm fine, it's just that—" Jianshu paused here, took Gu Mingjing's hand and placed it on her belly, looked at him and said softly: "Our Yi Yi may be coming."
Yi Yi, the two discussed for a long time about the nickname they would give their child, which literally means their only baby.
Jianshu doesn't want to divide her love among several children, nor does she want to endure the pain of childbirth several times. Mothers are great, and they only want to be great once.
After listening to her idea and asking his comrades who had children about the hardships faced by pregnant women, Gu Mingjing agreed without hesitation.
He was even more determined than Jianshu. "Why do you want children? No! Not even one!"
Normally, he would feel distressed if his wife accidentally cut her hand while cutting vegetables. How could he bear to let her suffer that?
He can help with chopping vegetables, he can replace me, but can he help with pregnancy and childbirth? No!
Anyway, it’s not necessary to have this child.
His brother has several children, so he doesn't need to carry on the family line. He has a salary and savings, so he doesn't need to have children to support him in his old age.
As for emotional needs, will they be lonely in old age and want to be surrounded by children and grandchildren and share the joy of family life? Impossible.
It is enough for him to have his wife to accompany him. He is annoyed by having a group of people around him every day, disturbing their peace.
Moreover, was he sure that his children and grandchildren would be able to enjoy the happiness of family life? He was skeptical about this.
Look at those families living under the same roof in the family compound. How many of them live in harmony? Captain Dong's family is still in chaos and there's always trouble.
This is because it is a family compound and there are not many people in each household. If it were a large family with brothers and sisters-in-law, it would be even more disturbed.
Anyway, he didn't realize how good it was to have more family members. Even in his own family, if he, his father and his brother were not separated in three places, he couldn't guarantee that there would be no conflicts.
So Gu Mingjing was very open-minded and didn't care whether he had children or not. In the past, he just wanted a child who was related to his wife by blood, the fruit of their common destiny.
But for him, the most important thing is Jianshu. This is the person he wants to spend his life with, and everything else has to take a back seat.
After learning about the hardships of pregnancy, the difficulties of childbirth, and the probability of dystocia, he changed his mind.
But Jianshu disagreed, she wanted it.
Having children is a woman's right. Many people don't want children. Do they really dislike children or even hate them? No. There are indeed such people, but they are a very small minority.
More people choose not to have children simply as a compromise based on reality.
I can’t provide my children with a good environment, a comfortable life, and raising them is expensive. I don’t want my children to repeat my life…
There are also the hardships of childbirth, the inaction of the other half, widowed parenting, etc. The emotional satisfaction brought by pregnancy and childbirth is not enough to make up for the physical pain, which makes many people feel that it is not worth it.
After weighing the pros and cons, one will choose to give up, just as the saying goes: Not having children is also a kind act.
Is their choice wrong? No, at least it's much better than those parents who give birth to a bunch of children but don't raise them properly, thinking that as long as they can afford to feed them, they're fine. At least they are responsible for themselves and their unborn children as well.
Different environments lead to different ideas, and different choices are neither right nor wrong.
Jianshu's living environment and experience free her from those mental burdens.
Children born and raised in love are blessed, and so was she. From childhood to adulthood, she had never lacked love. Even though she had suffered setbacks along the way, she had never lacked those who loved her.
Although she still had some fears about giving birth, her partner's love and anticipation for the child outweighed these fears, and the emotional satisfaction gave her the courage to face it.
She wanted her children to see the world.
The two argued about this for a long time, Jianshu refused to give in, and finally Gu Mingjing had to compromise.
He couldn't change her decision. The only thing he could do was to take good care of her and make her life as comfortable as possible.
In private, he often secretly sought advice and learned from others, which led many people to think that Jianshu was pregnant. Wu Xiufang even asked about it in a roundabout way.
After Jianshu made an awkward clarification, he turned around and settled the score with him, and the situation gradually calmed down.
Coupled with a few misunderstandings and disappointments, he slowly put the matter deep in his heart and tried not to think about it.
So much so that after hearing Jianshu's words, he didn't think about it at all, "Yi Yi is coming? Come on, I thought it was a big deal...!!!"
He paused in the middle of his words, his slow reaction causing him to widen his eyes. "Wife, what did you say? Yi Yi is coming?"
"Is it that Yi Yi? The only Yi?" Gu Mingjing looked at Jian Shu with expectation and disbelief, carefully seeking confirmation.
Jianshu looked at his startled expression and could understand his feelings. After all, she felt the same way in the afternoon.
I have been looking forward to it for a long time, and there were some misunderstandings in the middle, so when it really comes to this time, I start to worry about gains and losses.
