After sitting on the sofa for a while, Ding Qiunan's mood gradually stabilized.
She leaned on Li Chu's shoulder and asked: "Li Chu, do you like boys or girls?"
"Anything is fine, as long as it's yours." Li Chu said nonchalantly.
The indifferent attitude made the girl sit up straight and hit him on the arm: "Li Chu, I'm serious to you."
"I'm serious too, why should I care if it's a boy or a girl?" Li Chu turned around and looked at Ding Qiunan, spreading his hands.
Seeing Li Chu's unfaithful expression, the girl was a little speechless: "But...but doesn't giving birth to a boy help to carry on the family line?"
Li Chu looked at Ding Qiunan amusedly, stretched out his hand to hold her little face and rubbed it twice: "Daughter-in-law, why do you have such thoughts? It's already New China, and the commander-in-chief once said that women can hold up half the sky, why are you still like this?
Old ideas."
"Oh," the girl shook her head and removed his hands from her face: "It's not that I have old ideas, but that everyone thinks so. Girls have to get married after all."
"According to your opinion, after you marry me, you will no longer be your parents' child?"
Without waiting for Ding Qiunan to say anything, Li Chu continued: "Boys and girls here are really the same. They are all descendants of our old Li family. Don't think about it. But don't be anxious when you are not pregnant with the baby. Now
I am pregnant with you and I feel pressure to give birth to a boy or girl."
The girl looked at Li Chu's serious expression and nodded blankly without saying a word.
Li Chu stretched out his hand to pull the girl into his arms, stroked her back with one hand, and said softly: "Girl, you are the only most important thing to me. Don't think about what you have and what you don't have."
Ding Qiunan choked in his arms and said, "Well, I know Li Chu, and I don't want to think about it anymore."
"Hey, why are you crying again?" Li Chu gently patted the girl's back a few times: "Girl, you have a baby in your belly now. You must be happy so that the baby can grow up healthily."
After listening to his words, the girl wiped his chest randomly and then raised her head.
Li Chu curled his lips in disgust: "Hey, you wiped the snot on my clothes."
"Pfft." The girl couldn't help laughing. She raised her hand and patted his chest: "You hate it, how can you have runny nose." She said and wiped her face with the back of her hand.
Li Chu took out a handkerchief from his pocket and wiped her: "Are you feeling better now?"
"Well, okay, I listen to you and won't think about it anymore." Ding Qiunan sniffed and said seriously.
"Then let's go to the study room. I'll test you today to see how well you've memorized during this period."
"Ah, we have exams today, can't we take a day off?" Upon hearing his words, the girl's little face immediately wrinkled up again.
Li Chu stood up and rubbed the girl's head, then pulled her up: "Now you have to work even harder to pass the review and come to work in the hospital. Otherwise, you have to run such a long way with a big belly, I
Don’t worry.”
Yes, this makes sense. When you go to the hospital to work, you don't have to travel so hard every day. After hearing what Li Chu said, the girl immediately became motivated.
There was no need for Li Chu to hold her back now, and he walked to the study room in a hurry.
The two of them were in the study room, asking questions and answering questions for more than an hour before stopping. Li Chu was quite satisfied with the results. It was basically not a big problem to pass the review if he wanted to enter a Chinese medicine dispensary.
There is still one month until the review starts in early March, which is enough time.
Li Chu had already reported Ding Qiunan's name and greeted several leaders in the hospital.
He also made a special trip to the home of Li Baonian, who had been promoted to deputy director of the steel plant, and told Deputy Director Li about the situation. When the provincial government reviewed and approved the transfer order, the steel plant did not agree to release him.
Trouble.
After washing up, Ding Qiunan was already lying on the bed, and Li Chu brought her a cup of prepared milk powder for her to drink.
From today on, he must find a way to increase nutrition for the girl. Although he knows that what he is doing is quite pretentious, Li Chu just hopes that his wife and the baby in his belly will be healthy.
After coaxing the girl to sleep, Li Chu couldn't fall asleep for a long time. He leaned sideways and stretched out his hand, gently touching the girl's flat belly. A little life was being nurtured here, which was the continuation of his bloodline.
Li Chu racked his brains and thought about how to supplement Ding Qiunan's nutrition.
He could only vaguely remember that he should take folic acid, which was good for the pregnant woman and her children.
But folic acid is a chemically synthesized drug, and he doesn’t know if it is available now.
As for the chemical formula of folic acid, I'm sorry, as a liberal arts student in his last life, Li Chu said that he couldn't even remember the table of elements.
By the way, you should also eat more nuts. Although there are not enough walnuts now, there are plenty of peanuts and melon seeds at home. Well, I will start peeling them for my wife tomorrow so she can eat them.
Just like that, amid the disturbing thoughts, I slowly fell asleep.
During the Spring Festival this year, since Uncle Wang and Aunt Wang were staying in the south and would not come back, Li Chu and his sister and brother-in-law agreed that the two of them would take their children to Li Chu's place. The place here is big, and you can stay here at night.
New Year's Eve happened to be a Sunday, so Li Qin's family of four came over at noon.
Several people came together, including those who prepared meals and those who posted Spring Festival couplets, with happy smiles on their faces. Even Wang Ziwen cooked a specialty dish today.
Jiayuan and Jiadong also went crazy for fun. Li Chu bought a lot of firecrackers this year, and Jiadong and his sister had a great time setting off firecrackers in the alley.
After working hard all afternoon, the food was put on the table. As soon as the four adults and two children sat down, "Ahem" Wang Ziwen cleared his throat and said, "Xiao Chu, Qiu Nan, I have good news for you."
Li Chu and Ding Qiunan both stopped their actions and looked at Wang Ziwen, waiting for him to continue.
"Your sister's appointment documents came out yesterday. She is now the director of their sub-district office."
"Oh, sister, congratulations!" Ding Qiunan kept applauding Li Qin.
"Sister, this is indeed good news. You will have two more drinks later." Li Chu picked up the wine bottle and filled the wine glass in front of Li Qin.
"Your sister was so happy that she stayed up half the night."
"What are you talking about? You were so happy that you didn't fall asleep for half the night." Li Qin heard Wang Ziwen choreographing her, raised her hand and hit him on the arm: "I was nervous, afraid that I wouldn't be able to do it well."
After speaking, Li Qin looked at her younger brother and sister-in-law and smiled reservedly: "Oh, what's there to congratulate? No matter where you are, you are serving the people."
Li Chu laughed out loud after hearing this and waved his hand: "Sister, we are at home, we are all our own people, so please don't make a report, okay?"
Li Chu's words made several people laugh.
"You brat, how can you talk about my sister like that?" Listening to Li Chu's joking words, Li Qin raised her hand to hit her, but unfortunately she was a little far away.
"My sister, this is indeed good news, and I also have good news to tell you." As he said this, Li Chu took Ding Qiunan's hand and looked at Li Qin and Wang Ziwen.
The girl was a little embarrassed, blushing and lowering her head.
Li Qin and Wang Ziwen were still waiting for Li Chu's next words, but they didn't say anything for a long time, and Ding Qiunan next to them turned red.
Suddenly Li Qin thought of something, her eyes gradually opened wide, she looked at Li Chu and then at Ding Qiunan.
Wang Ziwen also reacted, with a clear smile on his lips.
"Is it true? Xiaochu, is Qiunan pregnant?" Li Qin asked anxiously after not getting an answer.
After hearing what their mother said, the two little ones also stared at Ding Qiunan with great interest. Wang Jiayuan even lowered her head to look at her aunt's belly.
Li Chu smiled and nodded: "Sister, Qiunan is indeed pregnant."
"Thank God, Lao Li's family has a heir." Li Qin clasped her hands together and raised her head to the sky and bowed.
"When did it happen?" Wang Ziwen asked from the side.
"It was just confirmed two days ago."
"Well, you brat, it's been a few days and you just told me today. Qiu Nan, you are the same. If he didn't tell me, you wouldn't tell either." Li Qin knew that it had been several days and he had been hiding it from her.
