1979: The child's mother is a celestial being.

Chapter 2 Sharing the Good News with Parents

"Congratulations to you both! Your family will soon be welcoming a new member!"

"Really, Dr. Jiang? My wife is really pregnant?" Chen Fusheng was very excited because this was the first time he was going to be a father, having lived two lives.

"it is true!"

By observing Chen Fusheng and Liu Xiaoli's reactions, Dr. Jiang guessed that they were both first-time parents, so she took the initiative to educate them on some precautions for pregnant women.

Not long after, an intern brought in Liu Xiaoli's test report. Dr. Jiang picked it up, glanced at it, and said:

"After the examination, your baby is now about four weeks old. You must remember this time; it is very important..."

Dr. Jiang then gave the two new parents a further explanation of why it was important, and only took a sip of tea from the kettle when the next patient came in.

"Thank you, Dr. Jiang. You're busy now, so we'll be leaving now." Seeing that the other party had already offered tea and asked them to leave, Chen Fusheng tactfully got up and left with Liu Xiaoli.

"Honey, slow down, watch out for the steps."

"Be normal, I'm only one month pregnant." Liu Xiaoli said this, but the thought of a new life growing inside her made her subconsciously become much more careful in everything she did.

After leaving the hospital, Liu Xiaoli asked, "Where are we going next?"

"Go to your parents' place and share this good news with them as well."

"Okay!" Liu Xiaoli knew Chen Fusheng would say that.

They both came by bicycle, one bicycle.

Naturally, he also left by bicycle.

Liu Xiaoli always liked to sit sideways, including when she came in just now.

But now that she knew she was pregnant, she instinctively chose to sit upright in the back seat because it would be safer that way.

Both hands can wrap around the cyclist's waist.

Liu Xiaoli even reminded him, "Ride slowly."

"Don't worry, you two won't fall."

At this moment, Liu Xiaoli remembered that there were still four eels at home that she had brought to her parents today, and she quickly reminded them.

"No rush, I'll go back and get it after I've safely delivered you."

"You insist on making another trip, don't you?"

"I'd love to."

"Stubborn person, whatever."

Liu Xiaoli gently tapped the man's back with her head, then immediately changed the subject.

"Brother Sheng, do you think our baby will be a boy or a girl?"

"It's a girl, isn't it?"

"What?"

"A daughter is her father's little cotton-padded jacket."

"Hmph, then I guess it's a boy."

"Wife."

"Ok?"

"Do you think it's possible you're having twins, a boy and a girl?"

"You're dreaming. If it were twins, would the doctor not have said so?"

"Yes."

Half an hour later, Chen Fusheng drove Liu Xiaoli to the faculty and staff dormitory building on the old campus of Jiangcheng University.

His parents also live in this neighborhood.

This neighborhood is a bit older than Linjiang neighborhood, but Chen Fusheng's parents were allocated a three-bedroom apartment.

"Fusheng is back."

"You're back, you're back. Second Uncle, are you exercising?"

"Fusheng, your wife is really beautiful. Come visit your aunt sometime."

"Okay, Auntie."

"Fleeting life..."

Because Chen Fusheng grew up here, every time he came back, he would run into people who were basically acquaintances.

dong dong dong~
Finally, he arrived at the door of his parents' house. The old house didn't have a doorbell, and although he had a key, he didn't bring it with him, so he could only knock on the door.

"Who is it? Here we come."

The person who opened the door was Chen Fusheng's father, Chen Runqiu, who was a professor in the History Department of Jiangcheng University.

"Dad," Liu Xiaoli greeted first. Chen Runqiu smiled and nodded to his daughter-in-law, then asked with concern, "Have you eaten yet? Your mother has been asking you when you're coming over since early this morning."

"We haven't eaten yet, have we?" Chen Fusheng asked his wife uncertainly, having completely forgotten about it.

Liu Xiaoli is similar.

She barely ate anything last night, and this morning they went straight to the hospital for a check-up as soon as they got up. She hasn't eaten anything since. She didn't feel hungry until we started talking about this, and suddenly she realized she was actually a little hungry.

"..." Chen Runqiu looked at the two of them speechlessly. They could forget whether they had eaten or not. He hoped they would starve to death.

"Where's my mom?" Chen Fusheng asked as he entered the room, first helping Liu Xiaoli change into slippers before changing into his own.

"Wash the dishes in the kitchen," Chen Runqiu said. "We just finished eating; it would have been better if you had come earlier."

"It's okay, we'll go out to eat later."

He had barely finished speaking when his mother, Yang Hongmei, who had rushed over upon hearing the news, overheard him and naturally gave him a scolding.

"Do you have a lot of money? You still want to go out to eat."

"It's because I don't want you to work hard, Mom."

"If you don't want me to work hard, then come earlier next weekend and sleep in less."

While scolding her son, Yang Hongmei also tried to explain to Liu Xiaoli by holding her hand.

"I was talking about him, not you. Xiaoli, don't overthink it. What do you want to eat? Mom will make it for you."

"Mom, you've misunderstood. Actually, Sheng and I went to the hospital this morning, which is why we're a little late."

"Go to the hospital?"

Hospitals are sensitive places.

Both elders asked with concern, "What are you doing at the hospital?"

Liu Xiaoli and Chen Fusheng exchanged a glance, signaling for the latter to speak.

Chen Fusheng received the hint and stepped forward, saying:

"Mom and Dad, I have some great news to tell you... Xiaoli... is pregnant!"

Upon hearing the good news, Chen Runqiu and his wife Yang Hongmei were initially stunned, but after they came to their senses, they both showed expressions of excitement and joy.

"Really?"

"You're not kidding us, are you?"

"Of course it's true. Would we dare joke about something like this?"

"Yes, yes, this is no joke, so Xiaoli, are you really pregnant?"

"Yes, Mom. This morning, my brother took me to the hospital for a checkup. Look, these are the results. The baby is one month old."

"Great, great, that's wonderful..."

Seeing his mother crying with emotion, Chen Fusheng quickly wiped away her tears and comforted her:
"Mom, please control your emotions. Why are you crying?"

"I didn't cry, I'm happy."

Yang Hongmei is a very proud person. She can cry in front of her husband and son, but she feels somewhat out of line for shed tears in front of her daughter-in-law.

So she quickly changed the subject: "Xiao Li, you haven't eaten yet, right?"

Liu Xiaoli nodded.

Yang Hongmei then looked at her husband and instructed him, "Old Chen, I remember that Teacher Wang in the next building keeps a few chickens. Go and buy one for him to make soup. See if he agrees. If he doesn't, go to the market to buy one."

Chen Fusheng said, "Mom, just get me something to eat. When will we be able to eat this stewed chicken? Xiaoli didn't eat much last night, and her stomach must be growling now."

Liu Xiaoli chimed in, "Yes, Mom, anything is fine."

"How can you just eat whatever you want? I remember there's a bowl of leftover rice. I'll go make you some fried rice with eggs. You can eat that first to fill your stomachs."

As Yang Hongmei spoke, seeing that her husband was standing still, she urged him again.

At the same time, I walked towards the kitchen.

Later, when Chen Fusheng tried to go into the kitchen to help, his mother chased him out.

Tell him to stay with his wife.

"Baby, thanks to you, Daddy doesn't have to do any chores!"

Liu Xiaoli sat on the sofa, while Chen Fusheng squatted down, gently pressing his head against her belly and whispering to the one-month-old baby inside.

A moment later, Yang Hongmei came out carrying two steaming plates of fried rice with eggs. Seeing this, she couldn't help but smile.

"Come for dinner."

"Thank you, Mom."
