Gong Linglong and the others finished dinner at her mother-in-law's house before returning home. When they opened the door, they saw that the lights were off and called out, "Mom."
"Mom." Lu Jingchuan also called out.
No one answered the question in the room, so Gong Linglong immediately rushed into the room with her son in her arms. Seeing that her mother's bedroom door was ajar, she immediately pushed it open and entered the room, calling out, "Mom."
"Hmm? Linglong, you're back."
Gong Wantang was sleeping in the room when she woke him up. He lifted the quilt and saw that it was already dark outside. He immediately got up and said, "Oh my! How did I sleep so late?"
Seeing that she was at home, Gong Linglong felt relieved. She placed Dabao on the bed and walked over to check her temperature. "Mom, are you feeling unwell?"
Gong Wantang attended a wedding banquet this morning. She didn't have a good appetite and didn't eat much. After the banquet, she asked Han Ji to take her back.
Han Ji had work in the afternoon, so he sent her home and returned to the army after she went to bed for a nap.
"I don't have a cold, I just feel weak and have no appetite."
Gong Wantang picked up the thin coat beside her and put it on, teasing her grandson with a smile, "Mingbao, didn't you make a scene at your uncle and aunt's wedding night?"
"I didn't make trouble at my uncle and aunt's wedding night, but I peed on grandma's bed and turned it into a water curtain cave."
In the afternoon, Lu Jingchuan drank too much and took a nap in the house. Gong Linglong also took a nap with him and put them to sleep on her mother-in-law's bed.
Guests who came to congratulate were coming and going, and Zhou Lanqin and her friends were receiving them in the living room. When the triplets groaned when they needed to pee, they didn't hear it, so the three brothers ended up drawing a map on their grandmother's bed.
Gong Wantang chuckled, picked up Dabao and went out, "Your grandma has to do some washing and scrubbing again, she'll be busy."
Lu Jingchuan had already pushed the crib out. Seeing that his mother-in-law was sleeping at home, he said, "Linglong, Mom hasn't eaten yet. We didn't pack any food just now. Why don't you cook something for her?"
"Okay. Mom, what do you want to eat?" Gong Linglong asked her.
"Cook half a bowl of noodles, just egg and vegetable noodles. I don't want to eat anything else, and I can't eat greasy meat." Gong Wantang said.
Gong Linglong nodded and walked towards the kitchen, but after only one step, she stopped suddenly, looked back at her with a changed look in her eyes, and blurted out: "Mom, are you pregnant?"
"ah?"
Gong Wantang was stunned.
"Mom, please take your pulse."
Gong Linglong immediately handed Dabao in her arms to Lu Jingchuan and pulled her to sit on the stool next to her, her eyes shining. "Mom, your reaction is a bit like the symptoms of early pregnancy. You've been saying you're tired and weak, and you don't have a good appetite. You don't want to eat greasy food. These are all symptoms of pregnancy."
Gong Wantang's mind was a little confused at this time. She knew her own physical condition best. She also thought that her menstruation was delayed, so the possibility of being infected was very high.
But she's already forty years old, a grandmother, and has three grandchildren, and she still...
"Mom, don't just stand there, take your pulse quickly." Gong Linglong urged her.
Seeing his mother-in-law's expression constantly changing, Lu Jingchuan vaguely guessed what she was thinking. He pursed his lips and smiled, "Linglong, there's a saying that goes, 'A doctor can't treat himself.' Please accompany Mom to the clinic at the street corner and ask the doctor to check her out."
"No, no."
Gong Wantang came back to her senses and pushed her daughter, "Linglong, go cook some noodles. Let me calm down."
"Mom, why are you so calm? If you're pregnant, it's a great thing."
Gong Linglong didn't know what she was worried about. She was just forty years old. Although she was an elderly mother, she had taken good care of her body this year and replenished her deficient qi and blood. There was no need to worry about the danger of childbirth.
Besides, Uncle Han is getting married for the first time, so he must really want a child. If my mother gets pregnant, he will be very happy.
"Mom, please take her pulse and confirm it. If she is really pregnant, I will call Uncle Han immediately and make him happy." Gong Linglong said with a smile.
Seeing her happy, Gong Wantang's face was full of complexities as she expressed her inner struggles, "Linglong, I'm already a grandmother, how can I still have children?"
Gong Linglong: "...Mom, I give birth to mine and you give birth to yours. There's no conflict."
"hehe."
Lu Jingchuan was amused by her words, and the triplets' little mouths also turned up.
Xu Jiayu also laughed quietly beside him and said to Lu Jingchuan, "Brother Lu, take care of the triplets. I'll go cook noodles for Aunt Gong."
"good."
Lu Jingchuan responded and said to his mother-in-law, "Mom, you're only forty years old, still young, and it's normal for you to have a baby. Go get checked first. If there's good news, tell the master immediately. He'll be very happy."
Now that things had come to this, Gong Wantang no longer fretted about it, but her face felt hot and she felt a little embarrassed in front of the younger generation.
The good news was quickly confirmed. Gong Linglong urged her mother to make a phone call to announce the good news. She also took the initiative to help her dial the number and held the receiver to her ear.
"Wantang, have you eaten?" Han Ji's concerned voice came from the other end of the phone.
"not yet."
"Why haven't you eaten yet? It's already dark, why haven't you prepared dinner yet? Have Linglong and the others come back?" Han Ji asked a series of questions.
"I'm back. I came back in the afternoon feeling very tired, and I slept until they came back. Jiayu is helping me cook noodles, I'll eat later." Gong Wantang looked very embarrassed at this time, and didn't know how to talk to him.
Seeing that she was hesitant and didn't dare to speak, Gong Linglong grabbed the microphone and loudly announced the good news: "Uncle Han, my mother is pregnant. Congratulations on becoming a father."
There was silence on the other end of the line for two seconds.
"Uncle Han, did you hear that?" Gong Linglong asked again.
"Linglong, what did you just say? Say it again."
Han Jigang was sitting at his desk when he jumped up.
"My mother is pregnant, and you are going to be a father." Gong Linglong answered loudly.
“Bang!”
The phone hung up.
Gong Linglong was stunned for a moment. When she heard the beeping sound on the phone, she spread her hands with a funny expression, "He hung up the phone."
"Master must have returned."
Lu Jingchuan knew his master, so he must have rushed back as quickly as possible.
Gong Linglong winked playfully at her mother, dug out the phone book from the drawer, found the Han family's number, and said with a grin, "Mom, if you're embarrassed to tell me, I'll help you tell Grandpa Han and the others the good news so they can be happy too."
It was Old Man Han who answered the phone. They chatted for a while about daily life. When he learned that Gong Wantang was pregnant, he was so happy that he laughed for a long time on the other end of the phone.
The two elders of the Han family actually didn't expect Han Ji and his family to have children. After all, they were both in their forties, and Gong Wantang was already a grandmother. They thought that they had two daughters, Jiang Yun and Gong Linglong, to be filial to them, and they wouldn't have to worry about no one to take care of them when they were old, so they never urged them to have children.
When the good news came, the two elders were so happy that they rushed to the Gong family overnight and brought over all the supplements collected in the cabinet.
