1761 Pregnancy Is a Small Matter (2)
Mother Qi didn’t know about Father Qi’s excessive worries. Without thinking, she said frankly, “You are the grandfather. How can Zhenbai not let you carry your grandchild? Besides, there is also our daughter-in-law. She’s young, but she’s sensible.”
The more Father Qi thought about it, the more he felt that was true. He didn’t have a good relationship with his son, but his daughter-in-law was still very filial to him. When the two children got married, Father Qi had to admit many times that his son had indeed chosen a good daughter-in-law. She was young and magnanimous. Zhenbai was really lucky to marry such a daughter-in-law.
Father and Mother Qi chatted for a while longer, but Grandpa Qi couldn’t wait. He knocked on the door of the study again and asked Father Qi if he had called Zhenbai and Shuyan. Would they be back for dinner tonight?
Father Qi hurriedly replied, “Dad, the two children said they would be back for dinner!”
Grandpa Qi leaned on his cane and hurriedly waved his hand. “Tell them not to rush, and also tell Zhenbai to drive slower. What if he hurts my great-grandson?”
!!The child in Chi Shuyan’s stomach had yet to be born, but it had already become the old man’s treasure. When the Qi family found out that Shuyan was pregnant, Grandpa Qi had definitely been the happiest and most overjoyed, even more than Father Qi.
When Grandpa Qi saw that Yan Yan, his granddaughter-in-law, was still young, he had been a little anxious. Zhenbai had found such a good wife; how could he rush her into getting pregnant? Besides, this granddaughter-in-law was so young. Grandpa Qi couldn’t bear for this granddaughter-in-law to get pregnant so early.
He had already worked things out with Zhenbai, this grandson, for fear that the latter would be in a hurry to have a child. Grandpa Qi originally thought that his granddaughter-in-law was too young. If she really wanted to get pregnant, it would have to wait until she graduated.
Given his current health, an old man like him could afford to wait. That was what Grandpa had felt, but he never expected the couple to drop such a bombshell at their wedding.
At that time, it hit him so hard that his vision turned black, and he was so happy that he almost fainted. He really didn’t expect Zhenbai’s wife to be so diligent. Zhenbai, this rascal, also amazed him.
But the old man was someone who had seen much. After his elation, he guessed that the pregnancy was probably an accident. His granddaughter-in-law had to attend university, so she might not be able to accept the fact she was pregnant. He couldn’t bear for his granddaughter-in-law to suffer.
If Zhenbai hadn’t gone with his wife to the hospital, Grandpa Qi would have dragged him in front of him and scolded him.
But to be honest, he was overjoyed and excited that Zhenbai’s wife was pregnant.
Now that Zhenbai’s wife was pregnant, he couldn’t be any more pleased with her, especially after she decided to keep the child; the old man couldn’t wait to worship this granddaughter-in-law as his ancestor, which wasn’t an exaggeration at all.
The old man’s greatest wish was, firstly, for the family to have many descendants, and secondly, to see Zhenbai and his wife’s child in his lifetime.
After all, he was already old, with one foot in the grave. Grandpa Qi often worried that he wouldn’t be able to see Zhenbai and his wife’s child, and would lose sleep over this. Now that his greatest wish had been fulfilled, he was overjoyed.
It would be even better if Zhenbai’s wife could come back to the old residence with Zhenbai when she was pregnant.
At the thought of Zhenbai coming back with his pregnant granddaughter-in-law later, the old man couldn’t help but get excited again. Leaning on his cane, he forgot about Father and Mother Qi in front of him. Trembling, he hurriedly muttered as he walked toward the door, “No, when Zhenbai and my granddaughter-in-law come back later, I have to get the housekeeper to cook more nutritious food for pregnant women. Give my great-grandson some nutrition!”
Father and Mother Qi could only watch as the old man walked further and further away. Father Qi didn’t think much of it, and was even enlightened by the old man’s nagging. He immediately focused on how to help his daughter-in-law and grandchild in the future. That was the best strategy.
Mother Qi, on the other hand, gritted her teeth at the old man’s actions. Back when she was pregnant, she hadn’t been treated like this at all.
No matter how sour she felt, however, Mother Qi still looked forward to the child in her daughter-in-law’s stomach. Besides, the feeling wouldn’t last long, and she wouldn’t really bicker with her daughter-in-law over it. If something happened to her precious grandchild, she would be filled with regret. So, Mother Qi immediately threw the sour thought to the back of her head. She couldn’t be bothered with Father Qi, and went downstairs to cook a nutritious soup that was good for pregnant women – she didn’t feel at ease letting the housekeeper do it.
Chi Shuyan didn’t know that because of her, Grandpa Qi, Father Qi and Mother Qi were all busy. She had just finished munching on chicken feet and was about to answer her father’s call.
Her father mainly asked about the baby. He also told her that he had applied for leave and would be returning to the capital tomorrow or the day after. What surprised her the most was when her father told her he was thinking about switching careers.
She had thought that her father would stay in the military until he retired.
It was good to stay in the military district, but her father was on his own and it was dangerous to go on missions. How could she be at ease? It wasn’t like she hadn’t advised her father to switch careers in the past, but every time, her father acted as if he would devote his life to the military, and didn’t care about himself at all. Who would have thought that things would suddenly take a turn today? Her father actually said himself that he wanted to switch careers.
Chi Shuyan was both pleasantly surprised and puzzled.
Seeing Qi Zhenbai come out of the kitchen, she subconsciously said, “Husband, don’t you think my dad has changed a little recently?”
