Chapter 1341 You’re a father too!
"Xiangnan, please ride faster. Why are you so slow?"
On the way, Qin Ruobai sat on the back seat of the bicycle, smelling the scent of spring between his nostrils, and felt that even the wind was sweet!
"That won't do! There were only two of us in this car before, but now there are three of us. I have to be steady! I'm carrying our little family!"
Li Xiangnan, who was riding a bicycle in front, was not moved at all, but the curve of his mouth was the most exaggerated in his life.
He held the handlebars with both hands nervously, fearing that the slightest mistake would cause the bike to tilt. His palms and backs of his hands were covered in sweat.
At this moment, he focused his attention on the road ahead, fearing that he would encounter any rocks or bumps that would cause his wife to be shaken.
"Giggle!"
Qin Ruobai, who was standing behind him, covered her mouth with her hands and smiled happily and contentedly. She put her head on his back, held his waist tightly with both hands, and said, "Look how anxious you are. You rushed down the mountain and took me to your hospital for a B-ultrasound right away! Now that we've finished the examination, are you relieved?"
"It's settled, it's completely settled! Now I really have a baby!" Li Xiangnan grinned, already thinking of a name for his baby!
"Hey, Xiangnan, when you were at my mother's grave, did you also feel a magical power? I felt like my mother was really protecting me! This child... must have been brought down from heaven by my mother! How could it be such a coincidence?"
Qin Ruobai stretched out his hand and looked through the gaps between his fingers at the white clouds and the sunshine in the sky, searching for his mother's smiling face.
The warm midday sunlight shone on her face, and the bright spring scenery was brilliant.
"I think so too! My mother-in-law is in heaven!" Li Xiangnan pursed his lips and smiled. He felt warm in his heart and couldn't help but increase the speed of the car slightly.
His wife found out she was pregnant, and the first person he wanted to share this with was his family!
It’s mother, it’s father, it’s grandfather!
Then, he would sue the whole world that his, Li Xiangnan’s, woman was pregnant!
Li Xiangnan has a successor!
……
At this time, in the courtyard house at No. 80 Nanluoguxiang.
In the main room of the central courtyard, Li Fugui was packing his medicine box, and Zhu Qiuju was helping him, putting all the sorted Chinese medicines into it.
Aunt Lu was basking in the sun at the doorstep, spinning a ball of wool.
Her daughter-in-law Wu Wanchun was leaning against the porch pillar, knitting quietly.
Seeing that Li Fugui had another medicine box in addition to the first aid kit he usually brought when he went out, Aunt Lu became curious, "Is Fugui going on a long trip?"
"Not really. Let's go to the Sanduhe Brigade! Spring has just arrived. Let's go take a look and see if there is any problem!" Li Fugui saw that his wife had packed the things, so he was not in a hurry. He sat at the door and thought about smoking a cigarette before leaving.
"Sanduhe? I have to go and take a look! The people there are nice!" Aunt Lu smiled. "I remember the sheep in the backyard and the patchwork quilt that Xiao Li wore when he got married. They were all gifts from them! They sincerely hope that the couple will live a good life!"
"Yes!" Zhu Qiuju also laughed and said, "Without the folks in Sanduhe, my son's future would not be so smooth! I asked Fugui to go there more often and bring more herbs to cure any illness. I won't charge any money! Just treat him as a relative!"
"That's right! It's worth it!" Aunt Lu had great respect for Zhu Qiuju's character.
"Dang, Dang, Dang..."
Suddenly, the clock in the room struck ten. Li Fugui turned his head and looked at the clock, wondering, "Nannan and Ruobai went to Babaoshan early in the morning. Why haven't they come back at ten o'clock? Did something happen?"
Upon hearing this, Aunt Lu became a little nervous. She paused her hand that was spinning the ball of wool and looked towards the hanging flower gate in the middle courtyard.
"What nonsense!" Zhu Qiuju glared at him. "Ruobai finally made it to the mountain. She is very sad these days. It would be good for her to stay in the mountain for a while and talk to her mother more!"
"Yes, that child is pitiful! Every time I see her, I feel so distressed!" Aunt Lu also nodded, "What a good girl!"
"I guess so. I won't wait any longer. I'm leaving first!" Li Fugui said as he stood up, tied the two boxes with cloth straps on each side, and walked out with one on each side. "Tell Dad that I'm leaving!"
"I know!" Zhu Qiuju said this, then called him back, went back to the room and took out three packs of cigarettes from the drawer of the chest of drawers, "Bring more cigarettes, and come back a few more days!"
"Oh, you two get along really well. It's rare to see couples of your age still so loving..." Aunt Lu smiled.
"What's the point of being affectionate?" Zhu Qiuju blushed. "We are an old married couple! I'm just afraid that he will take advantage of others!"
Aunt Lu smiled.
Wow!
Li Fugui felt embarrassed by what she said, and he didn't want to stay any longer. He walked out foolishly. Suddenly, he heard the sound of a bicycle hitting the wall. Just as he was wondering, he saw his son's voice flashing in from the hanging flower gate like an arrow.
"Nannan, what's wrong with you..."
"dad!"
When Li Xiangnan shouted this, his voice trembled a little.
Li Fugui was stunned and subconsciously looked at Zhu Qiuju beside him. They both turned their heads to look at their son at the same time, and then their whole bodies were shocked.
Both of them saw the unprecedented joy and excitement on their son's face.
And this look—the two had experienced it before.
They are so familiar with this expression!
As if they had telepathic connection, Zhu Qiuju caught her son, stretched out her hand to grab his slightly trembling arm, and shouted excitedly: "Where's Ruobai? Where's your wife?"
"Mom~"
A voice of joy, surprise, comfort, satisfaction, expectation, and fulfillment came from the side of the hanging flower gate.
Zhu Qiuju let go of her son and cried with joy, "Ruobai, you're pregnant? Right?"
"Ok!"
Qin Ruobai just nodded, but tears were already streaming down her face.
Li Fugui sat down on the steps, took out the Daqianmen cigarette given by his wife from his pocket, and started to open its cover.
One, two, three...
He found that his hands were shaking violently.
"Dad~" Li Xiangnan squatted down, helped his father open the pack of cigarettes, took out a cigarette and handed it to him.
Li Fugui struggled to strike a match again, and after three tries he finally managed to light the fire. He then tremblingly lit the cigarette in his mouth.
He looked at his son squatting in front of him, forced a smile, took a deep puff of cigarette, and stretched out his left hand to pat the other's shoulder.
"You're... a dad too! Great!"
"Dad~" Li Xiangnan held the hand on his shoulder, his eyes full of warmth.
"Xiao Qin!"
Aunt Lu on the side had already put down all the fur balls, and stood there with red eyes, extending her hand to greet the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.
"Aunt Lu!" Qin Ruobai came over and cried, "I have a child too!"
"Well! It's so good, so good!" Aunt Lu wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, and reached out to help Qin Ruobai wipe her tears. After leading her to the door, she gently pulled her daughter-in-law Wu Wanchun.
The Zhou family's daughter-in-law, with her head down, was concentrating on knitting a sweater. She was still immersed in the environment of weaving the future for her child and had no idea what was happening around her.
She looked up blankly, and suddenly found that her mother-in-law, Aunt Li and Qin Ruobai were all crying, and then she stood up.
The ball of fur in her arms rolled far away on the ground.
"baby……"
She opened her mouth and uttered an extremely unclear word, but she had already placed her hand on Qin Ruobai's belly. The look in her eyes was even more intense than when she was pregnant herself.
Qin Ruobai pursed her lips, nodded heavily, and hugged her gently.
"Wanchun, thank you and Sister Xiaoyun for getting me the talisman for welcoming a child at Hongluo Temple!"
