There was a light snowflake outside, which was blown into the air by the cold wind, making the New Year atmosphere even stronger.
Wen Nuan saw Lele and Gu Qinglan happily discussing the baby, and she put her hand on her still flat belly in disbelief.
I didn't expect the second child to come so soon, especially during the Spring Festival. No wonder everyone is so happy.
Gu Qinghan over there was talking in a low voice to Mr. Zhao, asking about things to pay attention to during pregnancy. The man would look up at her from time to time, with a conspicuous smile on his lips.
Seeing that they were all chatting happily, Wen Nuan opened the chest of drawers and took the opportunity to pack some things for the old man.
Mr. Zhao is also living in the family compound now. The army has allocated him a two-bedroom apartment, but it is in a separate courtyard, close to the direction of Commander Xu and Political Commissar Li.
Gu Qinghan said that Mr. Zhao also had a military rank before, but he didn't know whether it had been restored now. However, now the old man can finally take off his hat, which is already very good.
I just packed some New Year's goods for the old man, including rice cakes, mung bean cakes, chestnut cakes, as well as a few bags of seasoning packets and meatballs.
Mr. Zhao smiled and said to Gu Qinghan, "Deputy Captain Gu, if you have any questions in the future, you can always come to the hospital or home to find me. Now you need to rest more in the first three months and don't overwork yourself."
Gu Qinghan listened very carefully and nodded like a good student: "Okay, I understand. Thank you, Doctor Zhao."
Mr. Zhao smiled and said, "You're welcome. It's winter now anyway, so let Comrade Wen Nuan take a rest at home and don't rush to work."
He also knew that Wen Nuan had to take care of both the kitchen team and the factory, so she could take advantage of the spring and winter in the north city to take a break. After three months, she would probably be stable, and she could continue to work as long as it was not heavy work.
No matter what, he would definitely come to see her more often to repay the kindness of the couple.
Wen Nuan heard what Mr. Zhao said and nodded obediently: "I was also planning to take a good rest. Thank you, Doctor Zhao."
Normally, during these winter months, most people stay at home, and Wen Nuan had already planned to let the quartermaster and Lao Zhong help look after the factory during these months.
Now that she happens to be pregnant with her second child, Wen Nuan now has an excuse to take a break.
However, even if she didn't plan to rest, Gu Qinghan would definitely let her not go back to work temporarily.
After hearing what she said, Mr. Zhao felt relieved. He packed up the cotton balls he brought and said, "I'm going back to the hospital. I won't bother you anymore."
Wen Nuan handed him back the cloth bag he had just brought, which was already stuffed full, and said, "Doctor Zhao, this is for you. Thank you for the meat and candy."
Old Master Zhao looked at the cloth bag that Wen Nuan handed to him. It was much more bloated than when he brought it just now. He must have stuffed a lot of things in it.
He pursed his lips and frowned, "Comrade Wen Nuan, you give me so many things every year, how can I feel embarrassed?"
Wen Nuan looked at him and said with a smile, "Doctor Zhao, it's Chinese New Year, so please accept it."
When Mr. Zhao heard Wen Nuan say this, he couldn't refuse anymore and thanked her.
Thinking of the old man being alone, Wen Nuan said, "Tomorrow is New Year's Eve. If you are free, Dr. Zhao, please come over and have dinner with us. We can have some fun together."
Gu Qinghan said before that the old man had never married or had children, and he would probably be lonely spending the New Year alone. Now the old man has taken off his hat, and is now considered half a master to Gu Qinglan. It would be nice to have him come over to have a New Year's Eve dinner together, and it would be nice for everyone to have some fun together.
Mr. Zhao looked at Wen Nuan and was slightly stunned for a moment, then he slowly said: "Comrade Wen Nuan, thank you for your kindness. I have to be on duty tomorrow, so let's meet next time."
Wen Nuan nodded, "In that case, I'll invite you to have dinner with me next time."
Mr. Zhao held the cloth bag, looked at Gu Qinglan on the other side, and said, "Qinglan, go back to the hospital."
Gu Qinglan heard Mr. Zhao's call, so she put Lele down, bent down, and whispered to her, "Lele, remember what you promised your aunt. Don't tell anyone about the baby. Got it?"
The little guy nodded seriously and said in a baby voice, "I know, Auntie. I won't tell anyone else."
Gu Qinglan touched the child's head and said with a smile: "Be good, auntie will come over to play with you tomorrow afternoon. Now I have to go back to work."
Hearing Gu Qinglan talking to the child seriously about those things, Wen Nuan couldn't help but pat Gu Qinglan's arm and scolded her: "You are a nurse, don't be so superstitious, believe in science."
Gu Qinglan said with a smile: "It's better to believe it than not to believe it. Anyway, when your belly gets bigger, everyone will know it naturally."
Wen Nuan put a handful of pine nuts into Gu Qinglan's hand and said with a smile, "Alright, alright, you're the only one who's talking nonsense. Hurry up and go back to work with Doctor Zhao."
Gu Qinglan put on her cotton hat and said to Wen Nuan, "Yes, sister-in-law, don't go to get the pork later. Let my brother go. I'm going back to the hospital for a consultation with Mr. Zhao."
Gu Qinghan snorted lightly: "Okay, I know, you can go back to work."
Lele watched Mr. Zhao and Gu Qinglan walk out, then blew them a kiss and shouted, "Bye, Auntie. Bye, Grandpa."
Gu Qinglan smiled even more happily, and imitated the little girl and blew her a kiss: "Don't come out, it's cold outside."
*
After the loudmouth Gu Qinglan left, the house finally became a little quieter.
Gu Qinghan walked up to Wen Nuan and asked her, "Wife, what time did you get up? Have you had breakfast?"
"Not yet. I went to bed a little late today." Wen Nuan touched her stomach and realized belatedly that she hadn't eaten yet. However, Le Le had just played with Gu Qinglan and ate a lot of rice cakes and fried dough sticks, so she didn't make a fuss.
Gu Qinghan frowned and said, "I made some porridge. Wait a moment and I'll get you a bowl."
The porridge was placed next to the stove to heat up. Gu Qinghan went to get the bowl and chopsticks and filled a bowl for Wen Nuan.
Wen Nuan didn't bother to be polite with him as she was already feeling hungry.
Seeing her drinking the porridge, Gu Qinghan brought over two scallion pancakes, then sat next to her and watched her eat.
Wen Nuan felt a little uncomfortable with his gaze, so she turned her head to look at him and asked, "Did you go and call the old man over?"
Wen Nuan thought that Gu Qinghan would accompany her to the hospital for a check-up today, but she didn't expect that he would call Mr. Zhao over. At first, Wen Nuan didn't quite believe that she was pregnant so soon.
But with the old man watching over her, she should be pregnant.
Unlike later generations, where urine, blood, and B-ultrasound tests are performed, pregnancy is basically judged based on pregnancy reactions. Going to the hospital just requires a urine test, which takes half a day to wait. Therefore, many people do not want to waste time and money going to the hospital for examination.
Everyone waits until they feel the signs of pregnancy, and then they almost know it.
I heard from sister-in-law Juxiang and others that there are many people in other villages and even in the family compounds who don't go to the hospital once during their entire pregnancy.
Some people even give birth at home and still survive well.
Gu Qinghan nodded. He had just been to the hospital and had been planning to ask if he could do a urine test in about a month. If not, Wen Nuan wouldn't have made a wasted trip.
Who knew that he would run into Gu Qinglan and Mr. Zhao, so Gu Qinghan asked the old man to come over.
But the old man said to go back home to get something, so Gu Qinghan went to the hospital with Gu Qinglan to get some. Then he put his hand on the warm abdomen and smiled: "How do you feel now? Do you feel like vomiting?"
Wen Nuan was amused by the man's words. She turned her head to look at him and said, "How can it be so fast? I don't feel anything now, just like before I was pregnant."
Then Wen Nuan muttered, "Could it be a mistake? She got pregnant too quickly."
Gu Qinghan straightened his back when he heard Wen Nuan's words, and then asked her, "Are you unhappy that you're pregnant? Although Mr. Zhao studied surgery, he studied Chinese medicine with Dr. Li in college. I heard that Mr. Zhao's father was also a famous Chinese medicine doctor. He must not be wrong."
Wen Nuan was just saying it casually. She never thought that Gu Qinghan would actually analyze it seriously. She held back a chuckle and said, "I'm not unhappy. I just feel it's a little too fast."
They started discussing having a child in early December, but she got her period a few days after that, and now it should be the days of her menstrual period.
"Of course." Gu Qinghan extended his hand affectionately, pinched Wen Nuan's fair and smooth face, and smiled: "Don't you see how often we are intimate? Isn't this natural?"
Wen Nuan felt her face burn with anger after hearing Gu Qinghan's shameless words. She stretched out her hand and pinched his warm palm, gritting her teeth and said, "Shameless!"
But after thinking about it, Wen Nuan smiled again, buried her face in the man's shoulder, and said with a smile: "Since you are already pregnant, you should just bear with it for a while."
Although Wen Nuan did not join in the conversation between him and the old man just now, she also heard the two of them talking about the issue of sex in a low voice. Now that the relationship is not stable yet, they definitely cannot live a shameless married life like before.
Gu Qinghan felt his wife approaching him, and his restless heart instantly calmed down. He said in a hoarse voice, "Okay, I'll listen to you."
Wen Nuan leaned against the man and subconsciously touched her abdomen. Because she was wearing several layers of clothes, she didn't feel anything, but she inexplicably felt a sense of happiness.
She whispered, "After the New Year, we will go to the hospital for a check-up. Once the results are confirmed, we will call grandpa to tell him and make him happy."
Gu Qinghan frowned: "Didn't they say that we have to wait three months before we can tell you? I heard from Captain Liang yesterday that his wife is also pregnant, but he never told me."
Wen Nuan thought Gu Qinghan was just joking, but she didn't expect him to follow through with it. She couldn't help but smile: "Deputy Captain Gu, you are a regimental cadre after all, don't be so superstitious."
"Besides, Grandpa is not an outsider. It's New Year's Day, so tell him the good news to make him happy."
Gu Qinghan turned his head, kissed her warm forehead, and said with a smile: "Okay, I got it. I'll call Grandpa when the time comes."
Although Wen Nuan still wanted to do a urine test to confirm it, Gu Qinghan had great confidence in Mr. Zhao and was sure that he would not make a mistake in taking the pulse.
Little guy Lele was right, there really was a baby in that warm belly.
Thinking of this, Gu Qinghan stretched out his arm again, picked up the little guy who was standing beside the eight-immortals table and eating scallion pancake with one hand, and placed him on his lap.
Lele stretched out his hand, wanting to take the unfinished scallion pancake, and shouted in dissatisfaction: "Ah, my pancake."
"Bad dad, let me go. I want to eat biscuits."
Wen Nuan saw the little girl coming over and tidied up her messy hair. "Mommy will help you tie two beautiful braids later."
When Lele heard Wen Nuan say this, she immediately forgot about the scallion pancake and said with a smile, "I also want a hairpin, the purple one."
Wen Nuan reached out and pinched the child's big face, smiling dotingly: "I know, you conceited Lele!"
Lele looked at her with a smile, but said, "No, it's Meimeilele!"
Gu Qinghan put one arm around Wen Nuan's shoulders and the other hand around Lele, who was smiling like a flower with joy on her legs. He suddenly felt unprecedented excitement and his heart was a little hot.
He tightened his arms, raised his lips in an obvious arc, and then kissed them on the face in turn: "I'm so happy."
Then he looked at Lele, whose face was covered in grease from eating scallion pancakes, and asked her, "Mom is having a baby, are you happy, Lele?"
Before, Lele had always wanted a baby. Although I don’t know if she was serious or if she just got excited after seeing Sister Guihua had a baby. Anyway, Gu Qinghan is very happy now.
They will soon welcome a new family member, and the laughter in the home will become louder and stronger.
Lele reached out and hugged a warm arm, looked up at her father and mother, and showed a few white little teeth: "Happy, are you happy, Mom?"
Wen Nuan glanced at the little guy's slightly greasy hands, but she didn't mind it at the moment and said with a smile, "I'm happy."
Although it felt a little fast, it was what she expected.
Wen Nuan couldn't help but pull the little guy's hand away from her, took the towel prepared for her, wiped it, and said, "Come, let's eat something, and then go back to the kitchen to get pork."
Tomorrow is New Year's Eve, and there are many things to do. Half a day has already passed. Wen Nuan originally planned to come back to clean up the house after dividing the pork, and then make some snacks to send to Sister Guihua and Sister Juxiang.
Now...
Gu Qinghan only said one sentence the next time: "I will go to the kitchen to distribute the pork, you and Lele wait for me at home."
Although it is not snowing heavily today, there is still thick snow in the family compound. There will definitely be a lot of people going to the kitchen to distribute pork today, and there will be a lot of pushing and shoving. If someone accidentally falls, the consequences will be disastrous.
Wen Nuan knew this would happen, so she didn't argue with him and nodded obediently: "Then you can take a basket with you. This year the kitchen team has pigs, sheep, and dried seafood, so we should be able to get a lot of things."
Gu Qinghan chuckled: "Okay, then I'll take a basket over, you eat something first, and I'll wash the dishes when I come back."
Wen Nuan didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
Seeing her father go get the basket, Lele went back to her room and changed into her cotton boots, then ran out to the living room and said to Gu Qinghan, "Dad, I want to go too!"
Gu Qinghan looked at the little girl and said, "Go get your hat and scarf, and we'll go together."
When Lele heard this, he immediately ran back to his room and put on his scarf and hat.
Then we went out together.
*
After a busy half day, New Year's Eve soon arrived.
Wen Nuan went to bed early last night and had planned to get up early to prepare things for New Year's Eve, but when she woke up it was already half past eight and there were still the sounds of children playing and firecrackers outside the yard.
There was no sign of the man and Lele on the kang, probably because they had gotten up early.
Wen Nuan heard the crying baby of Sister Guihua next door and couldn't sit still anymore.
He quickly got up and prepared to make dumplings for breakfast, and also sent some to Gu Qinglan's colleagues.
There are sixteen people in Gu Qinglan's dormitory. Usually, Gu Qinglan is carefree and she doesn't know if she will offend anyone.
Now she is still learning from Mr. Zhao, and it is easy for her to be criticized, so she plans to let Gu Qinglan get along better with everyone.
Just after I combed my hair, Lele came running back from outside. His round little face was red from the cold and he was sweating when he spoke.
"Mom, I just went to see my aunt's baby, and he was crying again!"
Wen Nuan reached out and rubbed her little head, and said with a smile: "Did Lele comfort the baby?"
Lele hugged the warm arms and smiled: "Yes, I gave the gift to the baby."
Wen Nuan asked, "Does the baby like it?"
Wen Nuan took the child to the town the day before yesterday. These days happened to be the hundredth day of Sister Guihua's child.
She bought a gift for the baby. After Lele found out, he also picked out a tiger-head hat for him.
I guess he just took the hat away.
Lele smiled and nodded: "After I gave it to the baby, he stopped crying."
"I definitely like it."
Wen Nuan smiled and said, "Then you must like Sister Lele's gift very much."
Then Wen Nuan asked, "Where is your father?"
The dough for making dumplings had been placed on the table to rise, but there was no sign of Gu Qinghan. I wondered if he had gone back to the group.
"Dad is outside." Lele pointed in the direction of the yard, and the next second Gu Qinghan pushed the door open and walked in.
Gu Qinghan saw that Wen Nuan was getting warmer, so he walked towards her, pulled her into his arms, and said, "The noodles are ready and placed next to the stove. I'll go back to the group to check later. You eat the food, and when I come back, we'll put up the couplets and make dumplings together."
Wen Nuan knew that he was busy, so she said, "Wake me up earlier next time. Go quickly, and I'll put up the couplets when you come back."
Gu Qinghan lowered his head and kissed his wife's bright red lips, then nodded: "Okay, then I'll go early and come back early."
Lele, who was standing by, also wanted to go with him. Gu Qinghan thought about it and said, "Come on, Dad will take you there."
Wen Nuan was stunned for a moment: "Let's not do that, the little guy is making a lot of noise."
Then he said to Lele: "Lele, your father is going back to work, so stop making trouble."
Although the little guy is quite well behaved sometimes, he still does a lot of chasing chickens and sheep in the kitchen.
Last time, she drove a few ducks from the kitchen team to the fish pond on the farm behind. At that time, the fish pond was half frozen, so she had to find someone to help drive the ducks.
Gu Qinghan knew his wife's worries, but he had already put a hat and scarf on the little girl: "It's okay, she just needs to go back and talk to the people in the group. Let her go and play for a while, and bring back an ice lantern by the way."
When Lele heard about something icy, he clapped his hands and said, "Great, I want to go play with ice with Dad."
"It's up to you." Wen Nuan adjusted the little girl's hat and put gloves on her.
Lele looked fully armed, looked at Wen Nuan and smiled, "Mom, I will be good. You just wait for me at home."
Wen Nuan glanced at her and couldn't help laughing: "Okay, don't disturb your dad from working then, okay?"
Lele stuck out his tongue: "I know, Mommy Pig."
Wen Nuan pinched her cheek: "You are the fat pig."
*
"Oh, you've brought your family with you? Isn't your sister-in-law at home? Why did you bring the little one here?" As soon as Gu Qinghan returned to the regiment, he was teased by the regiment leader Wang Xingguo.
Lele hugged Gu Qinghan's shoulders tightly, and her big black eyes looked at the person who was speaking quietly.
Gu Qinghan patted the child's back and said to her: "This is Dad's comrade-in-arms. Lele can call him uncle."
Lele had met Wang Xingguo before, but probably forgot about it, so he looked defensive.
Now after hearing what Gu Qinghan said, she smiled sweetly and shouted, "Good morning, uncle."
"Oh, this little girl is quite well behaved." Wang Xingguo smiled and waved at her: "Come here, uncle will give you candy."
Lele subconsciously looked at Gu Qinghan, and when he nodded, he got off the ground and walked towards Wang Xingguo, then took the candy from him and said with a smile: "Thank you, uncle."
Wang Xingguo looked at the cute little girl and said with a smile, "You should have more children who are so cute and sensible. You and your sister-in-law should have one sooner. The children are old enough to help with cooking now."
Gu Qinghan frowned: "?"
Wang Xingguo saw that Gu Qinghan had a strange expression on his face, and then he realized that he had said something wrong, and asked him: "Ah? Isn't your sister-in-law pregnant? What does your expression mean?"
After hearing this, Gu Qinghan's face darkened and he asked, "Who said that?"
"Ah? Doesn't the entire army know about it? Could it be that someone randomly released smoke bombs? Damn, who the hell is so big-mouthed? If I knew, I would beat this bastard to death!" Wang Xingguo was very angry and really wanted to find someone to vent his anger on.
Gu Qinghan listened to his comrade's words, rubbed his brows, and admitted: "That's true."
I was planning to talk about it later, but it turns out it has spread everywhere. I guess someone told others about it when I took little Lele to divide the pork yesterday.
"Ah?" This time it was Wang Xingguo's turn to be dumbfounded. He looked at his old comrade in disbelief, thinking he had misheard, so he asked: "Then why did you look like a cannibal just now? Are you not happy that your sister-in-law is pregnant?"
Gu Qinghan took his enamel cup and poured a cup of tea, placed it in front of Lele, and said, "Of course I'm happy."
"Why are you so gloomy? I thought I said something wrong!" Wang Xingguo handed him a cup, motioning him to help pour some water, and then said, "You and your sister-in-law should have had more children a long time ago. Your family has such good genes. Look at Lele, this cute little girl. Who wouldn't envy you for having such a well-behaved and cute daughter?"
Wang Xingguo has four sons at home, each one is more troublesome than the other. His wife refuses to give up and insists on having another daughter. Wang Xingguo thinks, how can he be so picky
If he could choose, he would have two daughters and two boys.
When Lele heard Wang Xingguo praising her, she smiled at him. Her chubby, white and tender smiling face was so attractive.
Gu Qinghan's mood was lightened by Wang Xingguo's few words. He filled his enamel cup and said, "Two are enough. We can't handle more."
There was no one to help their family. Gu Qinghan knew that Wen Nuan was very work-oriented and hoped that she could have her own career, so he didn't want to have too many children and tie her down to the family.
After having this baby, he won't have another one.
Warmth means the same thing.
Wang Xingguo crossed his legs, leaned back in his chair, and laughed: "These two are too few, aren't they? You are a regimental-level cadre after all, you can afford to have four or five of them, and don't your sister-in-law have jobs? What are you worried about?"
In this family compound, many people have five, six, seven or eight children.
There are very few people like Gu Qinghan who have a daughter but delay having a second one, unless they are unable to have children.
Now hearing him say that, I find it hard to believe that only two are needed.
Gu Qinghan glanced at him, pursed his lips and smiled: "You don't understand."
Wang Xingguo was still thinking about going home early, so he put down the enamel cup in his hand and said, "Come on, come on, you young people really don't understand you. When are we going to the training ground? Last year I hosted it myself, today you can speak, I won't participate."
Gu Qinghan sat up straight and picked up the phone on the desk. "Wait a minute, I'll call the child's great grandfather and come over in a moment."
Wang Xingguo patted his military uniform and said, "Okay, I'll go over there and gather everyone. Come over after you make the call."
He naturally knew that the child's great-grandfather was Commander Lu, so he made room for them and left first.
Seeing Wang Xingguo was about to leave, Lele smiled and waved to him: "Goodbye, uncle!"
Wang Xingguo looked at the little dumpling and said, "Hey, Lele, goodbye, see you later."
No wonder his wife insisted on giving birth to a daughter. This is really cute. It makes people feel a little itchy, but what to do
But when I think of the four naughty boys in my family who are causing so much trouble, I feel overwhelmed.
Forget it, if there is one more brat, my house will be torn down.
*
As soon as Wang Xingguo left, Gu Qinghan called Commander Lu's office. He thought that today was New Year's Eve and it would be difficult to get through the phone. However, he was lucky and got through after two tries.
Commander Lu was very angry early in the morning. Just now, when Xiao Zhang said that Beicheng called, his expression improved a little. But when he heard Gu Qinghan's voice, he was disgusted again: "Why is it you?"
Where is his granddaughter during the New Year
He was already annoyed at not having a holiday during the Chinese New Year, and then he got a call from someone who wasn't the person he wanted to see.
But the next second, Lele shouted excitedly: "Grandpa, good morning!"
"Oh, it's our Lele, dear." Commander Lu's tense face finally relaxed a little, and he said with a smile: "Where's mom? Mom didn't come?"
Lele took the microphone and said directly: "Mom is at home. She has a baby in her belly. She can't run around."
Gu Qinghan: “…”
It turned out that this little guy leaked the "military intelligence"!
"What?" Commander Lu asked loudly while holding the microphone, "Is this true? Xiao Nuan is pregnant?"
Gu Qinghan was afraid that the little girl couldn't explain clearly, so he took the microphone from her and told Commander Lu about Wen Nuan's situation.
After hanging up the phone, Commander Lu asked Xiao Zhang to come in. "Xiao Zhang, help me check my recent schedule. Try to get everything done before the Lantern Festival. Give me a few days off."
Xiao Zhang was scolded by Commander Lu early in the morning because he did not have the Spring Festival holiday. Unexpectedly, after finishing the phone call with Beicheng, he was actually in a laughing state.
Could it be that their beautiful and warm comrades have some good news
Xiao Zhang immediately flipped through Commander Lu's schedule for the next half month. They were all relatively important meetings, and it was really difficult to change them, unless the superiors took the initiative to change the time...
Xiao Zhang swallowed and asked cautiously, "Commander Lu, is mid-February okay?"
The road to the north city is not easy to travel in winter. In fact, it will still be very cold in mid-February, and the snow will be deep. In fact, March is the best time, but I am afraid that their leader will not be able to wait any longer.
The next second, Commander Lu frowned: "So late?"
When Xiao Zhang thought that the leader wanted him to change his schedule, Commander Lu waved his hand and said, "Forget it, it doesn't matter if you're late. I can just stay a few more days."
After saying this, Xiao Zhang suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, and then expressed his thoughts, "How about I send someone to North City to pick up Comrade Wen Nuan and Le Le in a few days?"
Commander Lu will be in Beijing until the sixth day of the New Year, and bringing them over to play for a few days can also ease the leader's longing for his family.
"No, no, no." Commander Lu leaned back in his chair and said with a smile, "We can just go to North City. You can make the arrangements."
For the first time, Xiao Zhang felt that his Commander Lu was easy to talk to.
Before he could reply, Commander Lu said, "Don't be in a hurry, just be quick."
Xiao Zhang: “…”
Commander, you understand the difficulty.
*
After Gu Qinghan and the others left, Wen Nuan over there took some fried dough sticks and some pastries to Sister Guihua's house, and gave the child a hundred-day gift.
Then we cut paper-cuts together.
Sister Guihua’s baby is three months old. Because she has enough milk, the baby is now white and plump.
Every time Lele saw his little brother's chubby face, he couldn't help but reach out to touch it. Fortunately, it was not someone else's family, and Sister Guihua was happy to let the little guy touch it.
I don’t know if I’m pregnant, but when I see the child in Sister Guihua’s family, my eyes can’t help but become gentle.
Sister Guihua received a red string inlaid with jade from Wen Nuan, saying that it was to be worn on her feet. The jade looked smooth and translucent, and it must have cost a lot of money.
She watched Wen Nuan pick up her child and said with a smile, "Then I'll thank you on behalf of Zhuzi."
Zhuzi is the child's nickname, given by Zhou Jianshe, who said that a rougher one would be easier to raise.
Wen Nuan looked at the baby in her arms and smiled: "Why are you being polite? This is our Lele's favorite baby."
Sister Guihua took off one of the child's cotton socks, and then put the anklet that Wen Nuan gave him on his head, saying, "Le Le also gave Zhu Zi a tiger-head hat, which is so cute. Zhu Zi is still young now, but he will be able to use it next winter."
Wen Nuan knew that Lele had chosen the hat himself.
Sister Guihua looked at Wen Nuan and smiled: "When your baby is born, Lele will have a companion and will definitely love the child very much."
Aunt Liang on the side echoed, "You and Deputy Head Gu are both so handsome, you should have had another child long ago. Why would Lele have to come over every day to see the baby?"
Aunt Liang wanted to say this before, but Zhang Guihua said that Wen Nuan had her own plans and she shouldn't urge others to have children.
But Aunt Liang has seen so many couples, but she has never seen one as handsome as Wen Nuan and Deputy Captain Gu.
So I have always been curious why they didn’t have more children. It’s such a pity.
However, when I went to the supply and marketing cooperative this morning, I actually heard someone say that Wen Nuan was pregnant, which is really good news.
warmth:"??"
Actually, you know all this
Wen Nuan originally wanted to go to the hospital for a urine test before telling them, but now that everyone knows about it, there's no need to bring it up.
She smiled and said, "It's still early. I haven't gone to the hospital for a check-up yet."
Aunt Liang, as someone who has experienced this, said with a smile: "It's okay if you don't check it. I guess there will be a reaction soon anyway."
When Wen Nuan returned home, Sister Guihua gave her some more fried dough twists.
Originally, Wen Nuan planned to chop the stuffing before Gu Qinghan and Lele came home.
However, just after I washed the fungus, leeks, and cabbage, Gu Qinghan and the others came back.
Everyone held a crystal clear ice lantern in their hands, which looked very beautiful.
As soon as he came back, Gu Qinghan hung the ice lantern under the eaves, then pulled Wen Nuan aside and asked, "Are you okay being alone? Did you vomit? Are you sleepy?"
"It's not that serious. But I don't think it's time yet. I'm still very normal now." Wen Nuan was so normal that she always thought that Mr. Zhao had made a wrong diagnosis. She always wanted to go to the hospital for a urine test so that she could feel completely at ease.
After hearing what Wen Nuan said, Gu Qinghan stretched out his hand and covered his wife's belly, saying: "Good child, keep going and don't let your mother suffer too much."
Wen Nuan was amused by the man's childish behavior and couldn't help but glare at him: "He's probably still a cell, how can he understand what you're saying?"
However, she still put her hand on the back of the man's hand with a smile. The two looked at each other and smiled.
When Lele saw it, he ran over and shouted, "Mom, mom, I want to listen to the baby talk too!"
As she said this, she pulled away her father and mother's hands and put her ear close to theirs.
Wen Nuan had no choice but to let her listen, and asked her: "How is it? What did Lele hear?"
"Ah—" Lele raised his little head, looked at Wen Nuan, and suddenly laughed: "The baby said he wants to go to sleep!"
warmth:"… "
Pretty good at editing.
Gu Qinghan looked at the time and it was already past eleven o'clock, so he pulled Lele to go and post the couplets.
Wen Nuan helped to make the paste, and Gu Qinghan didn't help her. She didn't want to get her hands dirty, so she let the father and daughter do the work.
After they finished wrapping the dumplings, they wanted to send some to Gu Qinglan first, but she arrived first.
As soon as she entered the room, Wen Nuan heard her angrily scolding, "It's New Year's Day, how unlucky!"
Wen Nuan wiped her hands and asked, "What's wrong? Who offended you?"
Gu Qinglan's face flushed red, and she looked very angry. She said quickly, "A relative of our Director Xu said that I was already in my twenties and still unmarried, so she wanted to introduce me to a date."
Gu Qinglan poured herself a glass of water and drank it before continuing, "I rejected her before, but I didn't expect her to bring a gay man here this morning. She also said that he came all the way from Beijing to see me and asked me to go and talk to him. I was so scared that I didn't even finish my shift and ran back."
Wen Nuan frowned. How could someone force a marriage on someone like this
Even though Qinglan had nothing to do with that gay man, her reputation was ruined by this incident.
Isn't this bullying
Wen Nuan was very angry and planned to take Qinglan back to explain things to the old woman so that she would not be allowed to ruin Qinglan's reputation.
Gu Qinghan originally wanted to prevent Wen Nuan from going anywhere, but since something like this happened to Gu Qinglan, he naturally couldn't ignore it.
Lele grabbed a handful of melon seeds and stuffed them into his own pocket, then stuffed a handful into Gu Qinglan's pocket and said, "Aunt, I want to go too!"
Gu Qinglan frowned: "Are you going to watch a play?"
The little guy looked at her with a smile: "Auntie, carry me!"
Gu Qinglan couldn't do anything with her, so she squatted down and let Lele get on her back.
