"Sister, are you having a miscarriage? Are you okay?" Zhao Yueling was young and impatient. She was shocked when she read half of the letter.
"It's okay. If anything happens, they'll definitely call us." Even though she said that, Meng Ying's brows still didn't relax. This time it was okay, but what about next time? Who knows if something unexpected will happen again?
Zhao Mingze read the letter quickly, his face looking a little grim. He turned to look at his wife, "What do you think of Mingjing's intention?"
Amidst her worries, Meng Ying quickly made a decision. "Let's do as he says. My work here is almost finished, and I'll finish it as soon as possible. I'll feel more at ease if I go there early."
After she finished speaking, she remembered something and looked at her daughter, "Lingling, how about you?"
Originally she was planning to go alone, but she couldn't resist going occasionally, so she asked for leave without asking for permission. Now that the matter was settled, she had no choice but to agree.
But now things have changed, and the previous plans may not work.
"Ah? I want to go! The section chief has already made arrangements, I can go and ask for leave anytime." Zhao Yueling, who had just finished reading the letter, hurriedly raised her hand, fearing that Meng Ying would abandon her.
"Okay, then you can ask for leave tomorrow and we'll leave next weekend." Meng Ying nodded and added, "When you have some free time these days, pack your luggage and take everything we prepared for Yi Yi. Don't forget anything."
She definitely didn't have time these days. Fortunately, everything was prepared in advance, otherwise she would have been in a hurry when the time came and something would have been missed.
"I guarantee to complete the task!" Zhao Yueling saluted playfully.
"Woo woo—I want to go too." A faint voice came from behind, startling several people.
After seeing the culprit clearly, he couldn't help but pat his butt, "Why are you going out? Stay home and go to school! If you fail the next test again, I'll come back and beat you up!"
"Okay, it's already late, don't make trouble. Your mother has something important to do, she's not going out for fun. Just stay home with me, you won't starve!" Zhao Mingze was afraid that he would be stubborn and make his wife angry, so he pulled him into his arms and rubbed his dog head hard.
"I'll bring you some delicious food when I come back. Just listen to dad, okay?" Zhao Yueling also rubbed him and tempted him.
Seeing that the three people were not moved at all, Zhao Tianrui also took the opportunity to back down, "Then I won't go. You must bring me some delicious food when you come back." The benefits you get are real.
"Okay, but you have to be obedient and don't make trouble, okay? Dad is usually busy with work, don't let him worry."
"I'll be obedient!" Zhao Tianrui agreed, being very flexible.
Seeing that the father and daughter had coaxed the child into submission, Meng Ying breathed a sigh of relief.
As long as this kid doesn't make trouble, the house will be much quieter.
Starting from the next day, the whole family became busy.
Meng Ying had practically made her home at the workplace. Zhao Yueling would go to work during the day and come back to pack up at night, even going so far as to find things that could be used by both adults and children. Seeing Zhao Tianrui become more obedient, he helped Zhao Yueling with all the running around.
As for Zhao Mingze, the head of the family, there is no need to mention him. He is basically the busiest at work on weekdays. It is considered good if he can get off work on time and have dinner with his family. Most of the time he is busy around the clock and cannot spare time.
I just went to the central government for a meeting that day.
When I came out, I happened to meet the leader and chatted with him for a while.
"Is everything going well at home these days?" the chief asked kindly.
Zhao Mingze was rather flattered. "That's great. We'll have another baby soon. Look, my husband has a smile on his face even when he's busy lately."
"Oh? Your eldest son is getting married? Having a new baby is a great joyous event, congratulations." The chief was a little surprised at first, and then he congratulated him.
Seeing that he had misunderstood, Zhao Mingze quickly explained, "She's not my eldest daughter. She's Jian Shu, Jian Yucheng, and Qiao Ling's daughter. You even attended their wedding two years ago. Although she's not my biological daughter, I've always treated her as one."
The leader suddenly realized, "It's her. I remember the little girl married... Gu Zhan's son, right?" He dug out that memory from the depths of his mind.
"Yes, you have a good memory. He is Lao Gu's son."
"You brothers have such a good relationship. With a group of good brothers like you, Yucheng's life is worth it." The leader said with emotion.
This is what it means to be not blood brothers, but better than blood brothers.
"It's a pity that our brotherhood is not strong enough. I just hope we can have the chance to be good brothers again in the next life." Zhao Mingze looked a little dazed, and his words revealed a bit of sadness.
The chief's eyes flashed when he heard this, but it was only for a moment and no one noticed.
Zhao Mingze lowered his head and didn't notice. After he adjusted his mood, he raised his head and forced a smile, "I'm sorry to have made a fool of myself."
"It's human nature. Don't worry about it." The commander reached out and patted his shoulder. "I have something else to do. I won't bother you any further. When the baby is born, please save one of the red eggs that announce the good news for me so I can share in the joy."
"Of course, let the child share in your blessing when the time comes." Zhao Mingze said.
The chief smiled, asked about the approximate time of the child's birth, nodded, and turned to leave.
Before leaving, he left a message, "This child is blessed, and the date is well chosen. Who knows, there might be double happiness at that time."
Zhao Mingze stood there, watching the leader go away. Thinking about what he had just said, he muttered to himself, "Double happiness? The birth of a child is one happiness, so what's the other happiness? Was the date chosen well? Could something happen that day? But the child isn't even born yet?"
"Since it's good news, it must be a good thing. Could it be that Mingjing is getting a promotion? That's impossible. Although he's one of the best among the younger generation, it's impossible for the leader to be constantly thinking about him and paying attention to such a thing."
"But if not, then what is it?" Zhao Mingze was puzzled and stood there for a long time without moving.
"Old Zhao, what are you doing? Let's go, we have a meeting later! Hurry up, we're the only one waiting for you!" A call from a distance woke him up.
"Hey, coming!" Zhao Mingze came back to his senses, threw away the speculations in his mind, and strode after him.
As for the double happiness? Never mind. Since it's a happy event, just wait and see. We'll know when the time comes. Anyway, it won't be long.
The chief was deliberately keeping the secret, and without any clues, he couldn't guess the answer at this moment, so it was pointless to overthink it.
The busy work soon took up everything, leaving Zhao Mingze with no time to think about irrelevant trivial matters.
This matter was also suppressed deep in my mind, and it would not be brought out until the day when everything became clear.
