Su Zelin did not go to work the whole day and stayed with Qin Shiqing.
The young couple was immersed in the strange yet wonderful feeling of becoming parents. They looked forward to the future together, learned how to raise a baby together, and even discussed which brand of milk powder and diapers to buy for their child. It seemed that they had endless topics to talk about.
This was a new topic for both of them, but the content of this topic was surprisingly rich.
"Xiao Linzi, do you hope that I will give birth to a daughter or a son?"
Qin Shiqing sat on the sofa, subconsciously stroking her belly. This was the action she did most since she found out she was pregnant. It seemed that most expectant mothers did the same. This was the maternal instinct.
"I love my daughter!"
Su Zelin got the answer without even thinking about it.
"Why?"
Qin Shiqing asked curiously.
"Because girls are more obedient, they can make us worry less."
Su Zelin paused for a moment, then laughed and said, "Besides, she should grow up to be as beautiful as you. When the time comes, I will buy her the most beautiful clothes and dress her up like a little princess!"
The idea of favoring boys over girls is not very serious in Zhejiang Province. Among the people he knows, there are many only children. For example, Huang Panpan and Qin Shiqing do not have older or younger brothers.
The gangster was reborn, and his thoughts are more open-minded.
Most importantly, Su Zelin was also worried that if he gave birth to a son like himself, he might be so angry that he would die, and might even harm other girls.
Therefore, the gangster would rather be a daughter slave.
"A daughter is good, but a son is also good..." Qin Shiqing is also very Buddhist. As long as it is her own child, she will like it no matter whether it is a boy or a girl.
Suddenly remembering something, she changed her tone and pouted her cherry lips: "But, if it's a son, he better not look too much like you!"
Su Zelin didn't know if she meant anything by that, so he could only laugh dryly and change the subject: "Wife, what you said is wrong. How can you not be like me? Then wouldn't I be cheated on?"
"I'm talking about character!"
Qin Shiqing suddenly got angry, her eyebrows raised, and she raised her jade palm: "If it's not yours, who else can it be? Are you asking for a beating?"
"It's just a joke, wife, calm down, be careful not to get pregnant."
Su Zelin quickly hugged her and used the fetus as an excuse. Qin Shiqing then put down her hand with a snort.
The gangster secretly groaned in his heart.
What's the matter? It seems that after getting pregnant, Shi Qing's temper is tending to become like that of the Queen Mother.
Could it be that all women who are preparing to become mothers will become irritable
I heard that many gentle and virtuous women will turn into tigresses after giving birth. What if Shi Qing becomes the second queen mother
They talked in the apartment like this, and before they knew it, a whole day had passed. After Tang Yan and Lu Haoran came back, Qin Shiqing ran over to tell her best friend the good news.
"What, Shiqing, you're pregnant?"
The couple's reaction was also huge and they were extremely surprised.
"Well, it was just confirmed today."
Qin Shiqing looked very happy.
Ever since she found out she was pregnant with Su Zelin's child, for some reason her heart felt much more fulfilled. She no longer had any random thoughts, and her mind was filled with thoughts only about the baby.
"Shiqing, congratulations!"
Tang Yan held Qin Shiqing's hand, and she was also happy for her good sister.
"I think it would be best if it was a boy!"
"Why?"
Qin Shiqing was puzzled.
"Hey, don't you think that Su Zelin is now the big boss of New Century, worth tens of billions? You have to give birth to a boy so that he can inherit the business in the future!"
Xiaoyanzi is quite realistic.
"Girls can inherit the family property as well."
Qin Shiqing frowned and disagreed with her best friend's words.
"That's different. Haven't you seen those wealthy families in TV dramas? How many of them are headed by women? It's not that girls are bad, but that's how society is. It's inconvenient for women to do many things, and it's not easy for them to win the support of the people when they are the head."
Tang Yan shrugged.
Fearing that Qin Shiqing would feel pressured by this, she quickly added a few more words: "However, it doesn't matter whether the child is a boy or a girl. It's just the first child anyway. Shiqing, you are still young, you can continue to have children. If I were a family like yours, I would have to have ten or eight children."
"Ten or eight, you're exaggerating. Aren't they just reproductive machines?"
Qin Shiqing was ashamed.
She didn't want to have so many children, as that would disperse her love for each child.
Two, three at most will do...
"It's hard work, but when I'm old, it will be so nice to be surrounded by my children! I'm not afraid of having more children, but I don't have the conditions you have. I don't even have any plans for my first child!"
The cram school she opened was very profitable, and Xiaoyanzi's mind was currently filled with the mad pursuit of making money. She had to put the matter of having a child aside for the time being, for fear that if she became pregnant it would affect the cram school and even cause a loss of students. That's why she and Lu Haoran even used Adu during their safe periods. Of course, the honest man listened to the words of this strong daughter-in-law and did not dare to have any opinions, unlike Su Zelin who relied on luck and ended up with an accident.
Xiaoyanzi and Qin Shiqing chatted about parenting in the living room, and the task of making dinner fell on the two masters.
There is no need to hire a nanny. First of all, Qin Shiqing has just become pregnant, so it will not affect her daily life. She even plans to work at New Century for a few more months and take a vacation when her belly gets bigger.
Moreover, after the Queen Mother learned that Qin Shiqing was pregnant, she quickly asked Liu Sufen to take turns to go to Lin'an to take care of her daily life. She said that if the young couple was worried about disturbing their world of two, they could rent a house in the community.
Of course, Su Zelin would never let the Queen Mother rent a house. The house they bought was quite large, so naturally they kept a room for his parents. In addition, there was a guest room, so it wouldn't be crowded even if a few more people lived there.
The scoundrel has no patience when washing dishes, but he is quite good at cooking, and the honest man helps him.
"Zelin, I never thought you would become a father soon!"
Lu Haoran felt a little emotional.
Looking back at yesterday, my best friend was still a young and rebellious boy, but in the blink of an eye, he has graduated for several years.
"You seem to be the first one in our high school second class!"
Jianglan No. 2 High School is a key high school. No one performs poorly in the college entrance examination. At the very least, one can get into a second-tier university. After graduation, everyone is working hard for their careers, so there is no time to consider having children. Therefore, they generally choose to marry and have children late.
Some students from ordinary high schools cannot even get into college, and some girls may become mothers not long after graduation.
"Haha." Su Zelin smiled and said, "What about you? When will you marry Xiaoyanzi?"
Tang Yan and Lu Haoran's relationship has always been stable. They have bought a house and a car and have met their parents. However, they are still in the state of settling down as boyfriend and girlfriend.
"Xiaoyanzi said that we will get married after the mortgage is paid off. At least we won't have the burden of paying for the house, and this will give us more motivation to work hard!"
Lu Haoran grinned foolishly.
For ordinary working class people, it would usually take more than ten years to pay off the mortgage loan. What's more, the Qianjiang Waterfront Mansion they bought can be considered a high-end property in Lin'an, and it cost them over a million dollars.
Fortunately, the couple's monthly salary plus the income from cram schools is tens of thousands per month. After deducting various expenses, they can easily earn hundreds of thousands a year, and it won't take too long to pay off the loan.
Tang Yan now goes to the bank every few months to pay off part of the house payment in advance, so that the interest will be lower.
"Actually, you don't have to rush to pay off your mortgage. Prices are rising all the time. Your loan, plus all the interest, will be worth far less than it is now in 20 years. You might as well use it to make other investments."
Su Zelin was cutting a carrot as fast as the wind while responding to the honest man.
Some big bosses even buy houses with mortgages. Do they have no money? Of course not. It's because these people all understand the same principle.
If you keep the money in your hands, it will only become less and less valuable, so it is more cost-effective to buy properties or make other investments.
"Zelin, we are not like you, so how can we understand investment? Besides, Xiaoyanzi insisted on paying off the mortgage as soon as possible, otherwise she would feel uncomfortable thinking about it all the time."
In fact, Lu Haoran’s idea is the same as his girlfriend’s. An honest man always feels that it is a loss and painful to pay interest to the bank every month.
"Okay, whatever you want."
Su Zelin didn't persuade him too much.
After all, everyone has their own aspirations. First, you have to live a comfortable life before you can talk about other things.
Some people owe money and don't take it seriously at all. In later generations, there are even people who specialize in taking advantage of online loans. They are like a dead pig that is not afraid of boiling water.
In his previous life, Su Zelin knew a person who had borrowed almost all the online loans he could. No matter how much you urged him, he just wouldn't respond. Calling his family and friends and sending them all kinds of threatening messages was useless. Later, a large number of online loan platforms were rectified and closed due to illegal relationships, and he lost hundreds of thousands of dollars in vain.
There are also some people who can't sleep at night because they owe some money on their mortgage.
Xiaoyanzi should belong to the latter.
At this time, the cell phone rang. The gangster put down the kitchen knife in his hand, took it out from his pocket and saw that it was the Queen Mother calling.
"Son, what are you doing?"
As soon as the call was connected, Zhao Lixia asked on the other end of the phone.
"I'm cutting vegetables and preparing dinner. Haozi and Xiaoyanzi are here too. They just found out that Shiqing is pregnant."
Su Zelin responded casually.
"Haha, Shiqing is pregnant, so you should do the housework, and you can't let others serve you!"
Zhao Lixia first gave her son a thumbs up, thinking that he was sensible when he was about to become a father, and then she said, "But it doesn't matter. I will go there with your aunt Liu tomorrow. When the time comes, we will take care of all the housework. You don't have to worry about it. After all, you have to be busy at the company too."
Both the Su and Qin families attached great importance to Qin Shiqing's pregnancy. Zhao Lixia and Liu Sufen even planned to go to Lin'an together. In addition to accompanying Qin Shiqing, they also took on all the housework.
"Mom, why are you and Aunt Liu so anxious? Shiqing still has to go to the company to work for a few months."
Su Zelin burst out laughing.
"Can we be careless about this kind of thing?"
Zhao Lixia snorted, "You are such a fool. Shi Qing is already pregnant, why don't you ask the company to give her maternity leave earlier!"
"Mom, the company has regulations on the length of maternity leave, and Shi Qing doesn't want to break the rules."
Su Zelin explained patiently.
"Hey, your company is really strict. Can't the boss's wife have some privileges when giving birth?"
Zhao Lixia complained.
When she was young, she and Su Jianjun worked in a steel plant and had many leadership privileges.
"Without rules, there will be no order. This is what a company must do to become bigger and stronger."
Su Zelin laughed.
"Okay, okay, you tell me this, I don't understand it either."
Zhao Lixia changed the subject: "By the way, where is Shi Qing?"
"She is chatting with Xiaoyanzi in the living room. Mom, what's wrong? How about I give her the phone?"
"No, no!" Zhao Lixia said quickly: "I just need to talk to you for a few words. Well, this is it, what are you going to do with Panpan?"
When talking about Huang Panpan, Su Zelin hesitated for a moment: "What else can I do? It's just like this."
"You and Shiqing already have a child. You can't delay the girl. It will be hard to explain to her parents."
Zhao Lixia sighed.
"Mom, I don't want to do that either!"
Su Zelin smiled bitterly.
In his previous life, he tried all kinds of means to get rid of his junior high school girl, but failed. Huang Panpan was determined to pester him in all kinds of ways. Not to mention this life, the two of them had already had a relationship, and she even worked in his company.
Zhao Lixia also fell silent.
It would have been fine if it had happened before, but she really couldn't understand what charm this bastard of hers had in high school that could have bewitched Huang Panpan so much that she couldn't get rid of him no matter what.
Throughout high school, Su Zelin was almost always the type of guy who was very annoying to be beaten. He was very rebellious at school. Not only was he not interested in his studies, he also smoked, fought, climbed walls and played games. He also dressed in an independent and eccentric way, and was definitely a troublemaker.
Just before the college entrance examination, Su Zelin suddenly became enlightened for some reason and devoted his energy to study. His grades improved by leaps and bounds, and he eventually got into the School of Finance.
Apart from Huang Panpan, I'm afraid no other girl would like him at that time.
Oh, by the way, Shi Qing should also be counted as one.
"Whether it's true or not, you have to handle your relationship with Panpan well. Also, Shiqing already has a child, you have to give her an explanation, otherwise it will affect Shiqing's reputation. When her belly gets bigger, people will definitely talk about her, and we won't be able to face your Uncle Qin and Aunt Liu!"
Zhao Lixia expressed her meaning very tactfully.
It seems impossible to have two betrothal gifts, but at least Su Zelin cannot disappoint both sides.
Hunzi naturally understood what the Queen Mother said. She wanted to give Qin Shiqing a status herself.
"Mom, don't worry, I know what's going on!"
Su Zelin made a solemn promise.
"That's good. Mom will wait for the day when Shiqing becomes our daughter-in-law."
Zhao Lixia was very pleased, but he was also afraid that Su Zelin would find excuses to make excuses.
"There's nothing else to say, so let's not talk about it. You should prepare dinner early, so that my future grandchildren won't starve."
This time the Queen Mother didn't talk for too long and quickly hung up the phone.
Su Zelin put the phone back into his pocket.
Speaking of which, it’s indeed time!
I was unable to give Qin Shiqing a wedding in my previous life.
It’s time to make up for it in this life!
After dinner, Xiaoyanzi helped wash the dishes.
Because Qin Shiqing had complained to her that Su Zelin was unreliable when washing dishes, so she had to wash them again when he helped her.
Then the couple left, as they had to go to the cram school in the evening.
Before leaving, Tang Yan half-jokingly said that she had to get ashore early so that she would not owe any money and could consider getting married and having children earlier. Don't delay it too late and accidentally become an elderly mother.
The next day, Zhao Lixia and Liu Sufen arrived in Lin'an, along with Su Jianjun and Qin Daqing.
Su Jianjun was driving. Jianglan was not far from Lin'an and the highway was very convenient. It only took about two or three hours to drive there.
However, Su Jianjun and Qin Daqing did not stay in Lin'an for too long. They went home after one night. It was not that they did not care about Qin Shiqing, but the two masters could not help much. Having two personal nannies, Zhao Lixia and Liu Sufen, was more than enough. Besides, they could not ignore the digital store at home.
Qin Shiqing has not yet taken maternity leave, and she still goes to the company as usual every day. However, the two old mothers are responsible for everything in her life, especially her diet. They go to the vegetable market every day and find ways to make all kinds of fresh, healthy and delicious nutritious meals. Qin Shiqing does not have to do any housework.
Half a month later, the sky cleared up in Lin'an and the sun came out for the first time.
The West Lake in winter is less lively and more peaceful, like an elegant ink painting condensed in the long river of time.
Two young people, a man and a woman, were walking by the lake. They were Su Zelin and Qin Shiqing.
Qin Shiqing is on vacation today. She normally has four days of vacation every month. However, New Century has more humane regulations for pregnant women. Before starting maternity leave, the monthly vacation will be increased to eight days. This will reduce the intensity of women's work and allow her to have more time to nurture the fetus.
The weather was nice, so Hunzi took her for a walk by the West Lake.
Pregnant women also need to exercise moderately occasionally. In addition, it is also necessary to bask in the sun and breathe fresh air.
"Xiao Linzi, look at me, my mom and aunt have fed me so much that I have become chubby!"
Qin Shiqing said distressedly.
"It's okay. It's good to have more flesh. The baby will be healthier. My mom and aunt should feed them more!"
Su Zelin smiled.
"What do you mean by feeding? You think I'm a pig, don't you?"
Qin Shiqing glared with her beautiful eyes, feeling angry.
"That's not true, wife, don't get me wrong, you have such a great figure, no matter what you eat, it will be fine!"
The gangster quickly apologized with a smile.
"Someone used to say that I have a physique that easily puts on weight and that I'll become a fat woman if I'm not careful!"
Qin Shiqing snorted. She got angry when she talked about this and couldn't help but pinch Su Zelin a few times.
She still cares a lot about that matter.
Su Zelin cried out GG inwardly while feeling the pain.
After becoming pregnant, Qin Shiqing really looked more and more like the empress dowager. She even learned how to **yang from others, and her strength of pinching people became stronger. In the past, although she pinched people, her hands were actually quite light.
"Hey, I was still young then, and I didn't have much insight. My wife's body type is not what we call fat easily. This is a body type that brings prosperity to her husband and children. Haven't you seen the wives of those big bosses? Are there any of them who are skinny?"
Su Zelin apologized and flattered the emperor first.
"It's your fault."
Qin Shiqing enjoyed it very much. Her crescent eyes curved into a smile and she let go of the weak hand that was pinching the gangster's waist.
"Xiao Linzi, seriously, if I can't lose weight after giving birth, will you dislike me then?"
Qin Shiqing frowned.
In fact, Su Zelin was right, he was indeed prone to obesity.
The reason why she has maintained such good figure over the years is mainly due to her self-control over diet. Apart from that, she is not a stay-at-home girl.
However, according to the current feeding status, my weight will probably skyrocket.
After all, as a young girl, Qin Shiqing still cares a lot about her figure.
"How could that be, wife? No matter what you look like, you will always be the most beautiful Qin Shiqing in my heart!"
Su Zelin's eyes were firm and full of affection.
You must make your position clear at this time, otherwise you will easily be strangled.
"That's more like it!"
Qin Shiqing smiled like a flower and took the initiative to hold the arm of the gangster.
The two played and played by the West Lake until they were tired, then they sat down in a small pavilion by the lake.
Everyone who came to visit West Lake today was outside enjoying the long-lost sunshine, and there was no one else in the pavilion.
"Wife, I have something for you."
After Su Zelin helped Qin Shiqing sit down, his expression suddenly became serious.
"What is it?"
Seeing her boyfriend's expression, Qin Shiqing was a little curious.
Su Zelin took out an exquisite little brocade box from his pocket and opened it.
There was a diamond ring inside!
The diamond on the ring is as red as fire. It is an extremely rare natural red diamond. The price per carat is the highest in the market. Moreover, it is the size of a thumb, so its price is naturally not cheap.
The diamond ring was custom-made by Su Zelin at the largest jeweler in Lin'an, and it cost nearly eight figures!
However, for Su Zelin now, this is no longer an unaffordable price.
In Qin Shiqing's stunned eyes, Su Zelin knelt on one knee, holding the brocade box in both hands, as serious as a devout believer: "Qin Shiqing, marry me!"
Xiao Linzi actually proposed to me!
Qin Shiqing covered her mouth, so excited that she couldn't speak for a while.
She understood Su Zelin's character. Her childhood sweetheart was the kind of man who didn't like being bound, and marriage was undoubtedly a rope that would make him lose a lot of freedom.
Even though she was pregnant with his child, Qin Shiqing did not dare to force him to get married, even though she had been looking forward to it for a long time.
"Would you... like to?"
Seeing that Qin Shiqing didn't say anything, Su Zelin asked with a smile.
"I do!"
Qin Shiqing's eyes were filled with tears and her voice was trembling slightly.
"Great, from now on, you are my fiancée!"
Su Zelin stood up excitedly, took the ring out of the brocade box, and carefully put it on Qin Shiqing. Then he looked at her green onion-like jade fingers and said, "Well, it fits well!"
Qin Shiqing was filled with joy.
Girls are almost irresistible to diamonds, which represent the most sincere feelings between men and women.
What's more, this red diamond ring is so beautiful and special.
"Thank you, husband!"
Qin Shiqing changed to a sweeter nickname.
"Aren't diamonds colorless? Why is this diamond ring red?"
It was beyond her understanding, and she felt a little curious.
"We actually have other colors, but red is a little less common."
The gangster smiled.
In fact, it’s not just a little less, it’s extremely rare.
“It should be expensive, right?”
Qin Shiqing still understands the principle that things are valuable because they are rare.
"It's just average, maybe a few million."
Qin Shiqing was startled by Su Zelin's indifferent tone.
"Millions!"
The girl gasped.
This number still exceeded her expectations.
She originally thought it would be around 200,000 or 300,000 at most.
"Hubby, why did you buy such an expensive ring? It's unnecessary and such a waste!"
Although she knew that her fiancé was very rich, Qin Shiqing still couldn't help feeling a little distressed.
"Haha, no waste."
Su Zelin held Qin Shiqing's face and said word by word: "Only this one is worthy of being my wife! Because in my mind, Qin Shiqing is the best girl in the world, one and only!"
"husband!"
Qin Shiqing was moved.
Although a lot of things have happened, Xiao Linzi is still the best to me.
In the small pavilion, two shadows gradually merged together.
