7. Divorced Military Wife (7)

Li Chunhua almost said it excitedly, but before she could speak, her mind turned around. Shi Heng was still here. If she guessed wrong, Shi Heng's joy would be in vain.

Thinking like this, Li Chunhua stopped eating: "Xuezhu! If you don't feel well, tell mom earlier! Get up and walk around quickly. Don't eat now. Mom will take you to the health team to have a look."

"Shi Heng! Don't follow me. Stay at home and look after the house. Your wife and I will be back soon."

He Xuezhu was pulled to her feet before she could react. Li Chunhua accompanied her, "Be careful. If you feel uncomfortable, don't walk so fast..."

"Come on, mom will help you."

He Xuezhu had never experienced such an attentive mother-in-law. She was a little at a loss when she was supporting her, but she didn't dare to refuse. She subconsciously looked back and saw her husband standing in the courtyard, looking at them and smiling. She turned her head and said: Waved at her.

"Xuezhu, follow mom. I'll wait for you at home."

Just such a smile made her relax all over, and she unconsciously smiled back.

After watching his mother and daughter-in-law leave, Lin Shiheng walked around the house, looking around to see if anything was broken.

He is often away from home, and even when he comes back, he only stays for a few days before leaving. There are only two women in the house. No matter how hard they endure, they cannot keep up with their physical strength for many things. Li Chunhua has a strong temper and refuses to ask others for help. This is not a problem. I will leave the important things until my son comes back.

After wandering around like this, Lin Shiheng discovered that the rice vat at home was covered with a plastic sheet and an umbrella was placed on it.

When I looked up, I saw that the roof above the rice vat was indeed leaking, and it was also covered with plastic sheeting. However, judging from the fact that the plastic sheet was still collecting water, it was probably of little use even if it was useful.

He rolled up his sleeves, stepped forward and grabbed both sides of the rice vat, and lifted the entire rice vat with the rice vat.

When Li Chunhua came back with a smile on her face, carefully caring for her daughter-in-law who also had a happy smile, she saw that the rice vat at home had been carried from the leaky area to the area where there was no leakage, and the big wok had been cleaned. Even the missing steps outside have been temporarily replaced with wooden boards.

The smile on Li Chunhua's face suddenly became more comforting. She was about to go in and call Lin Shiheng, but she heard her son calling from behind: "Mom, Xuezhu, are you back?"

"Shi Heng? Why did you come back from outside?"

Lin Shiheng smiled and showed them the light bulb in his hand: "Mom, the light bulb in your room doesn't work. I'll buy a new one for you."

Normally, Li Chunhua would have held her son's hand and lamented that her son was still filial, but now, she smiled as if she had won a 10 million grand prize and couldn't wait to announce the good news.

"Shi Heng! Xuezhu is pregnant!!"

Lin Shiheng's expression immediately perfectly showed the excitement of surprise and joy, as if in a dream.

"Xuezhu!! Is Xuezhu pregnant? Am I going to be a father?!!!"

——Click!

There was a crisp sound, and he was so excited that he actually crushed the light bulb in his hand.

He Xuezhu was touching her belly and watching him smile. She was startled when she saw the light bulb was broken. She quickly stepped forward to check: "Shi Heng, how are you? Did you prick your hand?"

"it's okay no problem!"

Lin Shiheng clapped his hands quickly to get rid of the broken glass, and hugged his wife with a face full of ecstasy: "Xuezhu, you are pregnant! I am going to be a father!!"

There was no doubt about his excitement. He Xuezhu herself was immersed in the joy of becoming a mother. Being so infected by her husband and seeing him so happy, the smile on her face suddenly became even happier.

Unexpectedly, Shi Heng was so happy. He must have been looking forward to this child for a long time.

The couple reached out to touch each other's abdomen carefully, and the other looked down at her husband with a smile. Li Chunhua looked at this scene and felt that her eyes, which had been crying before, were faintly hot.

She said that her son was so good and God would not be so cruel to him. Even if he was injured in the army and could not give birth, he still left a single seedling in Xuezhu's belly.

Afraid of letting her son see that she looked wrong, Li Chunhua wiped the corners of her eyes and made sure there were no more tears before coughing, "Okay Shi Heng, hurry up and help your wife sit down. She can't be tired now. I'll heat up the food." , Let’s forget it if we don’t know today. Tomorrow you go to your wife’s second aunt’s house and buy all the remaining old hens from her house. From now on, we will make chicken soup for Xue Zhu to drink every day.”

"Mom, let me help you warm it up."

"Go, go, go. Your wife has a baby. Why don't you stay with her for a while? Mom tells you that when you are pregnant, the baby will be healthy only if you are in a good mood during pregnancy."

"You don't understand these things, but Mom knows everything. From now on, just listen to Mom!"

Li Chunhua pushed her son back who wanted to help, and stepped into the kitchen with high-spirited confidence.

If before, Li Chunhua would be happy to know that her daughter-in-law was pregnant, but she would not take care of her so carefully, but isn't the situation different now?

This is the only Miaomiao in Lao Lin's family. Neither Shi Heng nor Xue Zhu has any experience. As a grandmother, she must take good care of her and make sure nothing goes wrong!

Li Chunhua happily heated up the food. As soon as she opened the curtain, she saw the young couple talking happily, which made her heart melt.

In the past, when she saw her son being so kind to her daughter-in-law, she might have felt a little sore, but after experiencing Shi Heng hiding all the pain and sadness and only giving her a smile as a mother, Li Chunhua now looked at the smile on her son's face. The smile left only gratitude.

Thank God, Shi Heng doesn't have to suffer so much.

She put the dishes on the table with a smile. He Xuezhu wanted to help but stopped her from extending her hand, "If it's hot again, mom can come."

He Xuezhu had never been cared for so carefully. She was a little overwhelmed for a moment and subconsciously looked at her husband. Lin Shiheng patted her hand comfortingly: "Mom is right, you are pregnant with the child now, so it is better to be careful. I’ll do it.”

After saying that, he stood up and went to the kitchen to serve the dishes. Seeing that he was not just caring about his wife, Li Chunhua felt even more comforted. She was happy, but she still complained: "There are only a few dishes, and Mom can't carry them anymore." ? Just stay with Xuezhu, what can you do for me?"

"Look what you said, Mom. Xue Zhu is pregnant with the child now. Mom, weren't you pregnant with me at the beginning? If I don't do you good, who will do good to me?"

Li Chunhua felt so comfortable all over after hearing such words. The sour taste had long since disappeared. When she came out of the kitchen and saw the affection on He Xuezhu's face, it became even more intense.

"Come, Xuezhu, let's eat. After dinner, Mom will tell you carefully about what this pregnant woman needs to pay attention to."

As she said this, she went over in her mind the reasons why those people in the village lost their children.

What a pregnant woman fears most is fatigue, fright and poor nutrition. She must take good care of Xue Zhu. First of all, she has to keep up with the food, and the fright. After thinking about it, Li Chunhua thought that Xue Zhu was quite courageous, so she should She won't be frightened by anything, even if there was something, she used to be frightened by the lunatic who wandered over from the next village when she went out. But as long as she, the mother-in-law, can hold her own, Xue Zhu won't be afraid anymore.

To put it bluntly, from the time Li Chunhua can remember until now, nothing can really scare her!

Just as he was thinking about it, Lin Shiheng said, "Mom, are you going to tell Xuezhu about this later? Then I'll talk about building a house first."

"This is what I think. Let's buy a new piece of land, build a bigger house, hire more people, and try to build it as soon as possible."

The look on Li Chunhua's face suddenly became a little hesitant: "Buy land again? Do we have enough money?"

"That's right!" Lin Shiheng clapped his hands: "Look at my brain. I'm so happy when I see you guys patronizing me when I come back that I've forgotten all the business."

Under the doubtful looks of Li Chunhua and He Xuezhu, he stood up and entered the room. He took out the big luggage and handed it to Li Chunhua: "Here, take a look, don't be scared."

Li Chunhua smiled and glared at her son: "When did you and I grow up so big... Oh my god!!!"

She screamed, startling He Xuezhu who was looking curiously, but saw her mother-in-law hugging the bag in shock. She looked around vigilantly to make sure there were no outsiders, and then pulled Shi Heng over. , asked in a low voice: "Where did you get so much money?!"

"Before I came back from leave, I did a task. This was sent to me by the superiors."

Lin Shiheng smiled and looked at her and He Xuezhu, who were still in a trance, and patted his chest: "Mom, Xuezhu, I will work harder in the future to let you live a good life."

Li Chunhua was still in shock, but He Xuezhu looked at her husband, thinking about what he had just told her that he would take good care of her and the children in the future, and the gentle treatment of her mother-in-law. The corners of her mouth could not help but curl up in happiness: "Shi Heng, I I believe you."

She thought that even if she did not build a new house, she would live a good life.

***

Within a few days, the news spread throughout the village that the Lin family had bought a new piece of land to build a new house and hired people.

The He family was shocked when they heard the news. They had agreed that Lin Shiheng had collapsed and needed to see a doctor?

They didn't think that Lin Shiheng would lie to them. After all, ever since He Xuezhu got married, this son-in-law has always had one thing and another, and that might not be the case if it was Li Chunhua.

Little Brother He was very greedy for the money. He had never thought that being a soldier could be so profitable. Thinking that he would have no money every time he wanted to play cards with his buddies, he immediately encouraged He's mother to borrow money from the Lin family.

The mother and son went again, and this time to show their sincerity, they even brought a door-to-door gift.

He's mother heard about her daughter's pregnancy as soon as she passed by. She immediately put a smile on her face and said while eating melon seeds: "This is a good thing, Xuezhu, you must have a big fat kid in your belly!"

He Xuezhu touched her belly and whispered: "Mom, don't say that, the baby hasn't been born yet."

"It's okay, just eat more sour food and avoid spicy food. Sour children and spicy girls, just don't give birth to a little girl."

Li Chunhua opened the door curtain and came in. When she heard this sentence, she wholeheartedly agreed, yes, but she couldn't have a son!

But when she raised her eyes, she saw her son's ugly face and his hands slightly clenching the corner of the table.

Others didn't notice, but the mother saw it clearly.

Her mind immediately cleared.

yes! Shiheng can no longer give birth!

Who can say for sure the gender of this child? If it’s a son, if it’s a daughter, she only wants a grandson. Wouldn’t that make Shi Heng feel uncomfortable!

Li Chunhua immediately lowered her face and walked in with a gloomy face.

"Whose girl are you talking about?! Am I, Li Chunhua, the kind of person who favors boys over girls?! As long as it is a child of my Lin family, I will love it equally whether it is a boy or a girl!"

"I'm not telling you, mother-in-law, your feudal ideas are really amazing. Don't say such things again in the future. It's a shame!"

When they were engaged before, He's mother had a heated discussion with Li Chunhua on the topic, "It's better to have a boy than to have a daughter. They both love boys and try to let Xuezhu give birth to a boy for the first time." He's mother remained in the posture of eating melon seeds blankly. Stunned.

Is this old woman crazy? ?
