The sun was scorching.
Xu Qing, who was already a husband, still did not have the habit of growing a beard. Although Jiang He tried to persuade him to grow a beard several times, he did not. He always shaved cleanly, as if doing so could make him look younger.
He was preparing to be a father. After the initial struggle, his mood slowly became happy.
A boy?
Or a girl?
The nature of human beings was really good. Since there was no way to change it, he could only adjust his mood to welcome it.
The electric fan was blowing, and the hot summer made people feel a little more irritated.
Unlike the shade on the first floor of the old house, the top floor was directly under the sun, and the heat shone through the roof. It was fine when there was wind, but in the afternoon when there was no wind, they could only wear sleeveless underwear and the electric fan, or hide in the bedroom to turn on the air conditioner.
Jiang He did not accompany him to take a nap with the air conditioner at home. He was too lazy to lie in the bedroom, so he turned on the computer and chatted with Wang Zijun.
Zhou Suzhi came over and looked left and right. Xu Qing did not need to look to know what she was looking for.
"Jiang He went out."
"Where did she go in the heat?"
"Fishing," Xu Qing said casually. In this kind of weather, it was a good choice to take a fishing rod in the shade of the river.
"She is pregnant and still fishing, you guys …"
"Her belly is not big, and now she is lying down to nourish the baby?"
"Other people let their animals go." Zhou Suzhi muttered, paused, and then continued, "Why didn't you go? Giving you a car is convenient for you. Will she be tired? "
Xu Qing almost laughed when he heard that. "She is tired? She is as energetic as a cow now. "
There were three means of transportation at home, a balance bike, a skateboard, and a car.
Jiang He's favorite was the skateboard. Although sitting in the car would not be hot or exposed to the sun, it was not free at all. If she sat there, she would be like a fool waiting for Xu Qing to stop the car.
After knowing her thoughts, Xu Qing could only say that Jiang He lived up to her name. Her brain circuit was different from others.
Jiang He was probably the first pregnant woman to run around with a skateboard every day.
"Qin Hao is also pregnant. Do you want to arrange a baby marriage?" Zhou Suzhi caught Xu Qing gossiping.
"Haozi won't get pregnant. His wife will," Xu Qing said without raising his head.
"You talk too much nonsense."
"Child marriage is an old tradition. It's vulgar and should have been abandoned a long time ago. Nowadays, people are yearning for free love. What's the point of making a marriage … If my son is too handsome and they give birth to a tanned little girl, wouldn't I be blamed to death by my son?"
"Who's black?" Zhou Suzhi couldn't help but slap him.
"On the other hand, if they give birth to a beautiful woman, and I have a short and ugly one, I'll either be despised to death or laughed at to death. No matter what the situation is, I'll let them play with it themselves … If they all give birth to daughters or sons, it'll be more likely for them to become sworn brothers."
Xu Qing estimated that Qin Hao would be pregnant in about two months. If there was still no news, then there must be something wrong with him.
Different from them, Jiang He deliberately tricked them. He didn't plan to have a baby. Qin Hao had been working hard to have a baby as soon as possible. Otherwise, it would be too late — for a guy like Qin Hao, who was traditional to his bones, to have a baby at the age of 30 would be a disgrace to several generations.
Zhou Suzhi had nothing to do when she came over. She looked around and didn't see Jiang He. She had something to remind him, but she looked at Xu Qing and didn't ask him to pass the message.
"Go out more if you have nothing to do. You're cooped up at home every day. You don't exercise as much as Jiang He."
Before she left, she didn't forget to nag that this guy didn't gain weight even after sitting in front of the computer every day. It was a little unscientific.
"She's pregnant. She should exercise more."
"You too."
"I'm different. I'm working. How can I earn milk powder money if I go out and play?"
"…"
Zhou Suzhi didn't want to talk to him anymore. Jiang He was still the best. Even talking to him made her happy.
She went out and waited for the elevator. The numbers jumped. When it reached the top floor, the elevator door opened. Jiang He came out with a skateboard in her arms, looking happy.
She looked up and saw Zhou Suzhi. She was even happier. "Mom! You're here? "
"Ah …"
Zhou Suzhi responded. She looked at her skateboard and was stunned. "Skateboard?"
"Yes, I'm going out for a walk."
"…" Zhou Suzhi felt that something was wrong.
"You're pregnant … You should rest well. It's better not to play with this thing. You see, pregnant women are quite weak. If you bump into something, right? Ask Xu Qing to drive you wherever you want to go. He has nothing to do anyway … "
Zhou Suzhi, who had just gone out, met Jiang He. He didn't want to leave again. He saw her skateboard and tried to persuade her to go back into the house.
Jiang He nodded and gave Xu Qing a look. Xu Qing pretended not to see it and continued to play with his computer.
Did he think that pregnancy was a fun thing?
This was called retribution.
Say bye bye to the skateboard.
"Actually, it's just stepping on it occasionally. This is Xu Qing's. He usually plays with it." Jiang He shoved his precious skateboard to Xu Qing and tried to make him take the blame.
"Yes, I bought it before and didn't use it much. When she saw it, she wanted to play with it. Mom, take it back and let my dad see if he needs it. It's good for his health to exercise when he's free." Xu Qing shoved it to Zhou Suzhi.
Zhou Suzhi didn't stand on ceremony at all. When she heard this, she clapped her hands. "Okay! Let him exercise a little to prevent dementia. "
Then she turned her head and searched for the bag. She really planned to take it away. When she saw Jiang He holding the skateboard, her heart skipped a beat.
Jiang He was stunned for a moment before he realized that his treasure was about to leave him. He couldn't help but stare at Xu Qing angrily.
Bang!
"Huh?" Zhou Suzhi looked back with a confused expression. What was that sound just now?
"What a big mosquito!"
Xu Qing waved his hand. Jiang He's hand was too strong.
"How strange."
Zhou Suzhi frowned. She looked at Jiang He who was sitting quietly and rolled her eyes at him.
The skateboard was taken away by Zhou Suzhi. She usually played mahjong as a leisure activity. Xu Wenbin didn't know how to exercise. When he had nothing to do, he would sit in the study. If he didn't eat, he could sit for a whole day without moving. He was like Xu Qing.
Father and son, one hugged the computer and didn't let go, and the other sat in the study and didn't come out. They couldn't stand each other. Zhou Suzhi was the most normal person in the family.
After sending Zhou Suzhi out, Jiang He lay on the balcony and watched his skateboard go away. He felt a pain in his heart.
"Xu Qing!"
"Call me hubby."
"Come out!"
"I'm not going out." Xu Qing shook his head. "It's hot outside."
"Are you coming out or not?"
"…"
Bang, bang, bang!
White Gourd lay on the windowsill and watched the two of them jumping around outside. He wagged his tail and looked away.
After a friendly and intense exchange, Jiang He felt better. He went into the study to take out the unfinished books about the Ming Dynasty and continued with prenatal education.
Prenatal education was reading books and listening to music. Novels were also books. There was nothing wrong with that.
Learning from each other was also a kind of prenatal education … Jiang He realized this and turned to look at Xu Qing.
"Aiya, I'll buy you a new one. Stop looking." Xu Qing said angrily, "You can't play when you're four months old. If you play when your belly is bulging, people will think you're crazy."
"I'm not carrying a big belly. It's not bulging now."
Jiang He complained unhappily. He looked down and saw that his belly was still flat.
…
They didn't have to wait for four months.
It was close to the National Day. It had only been three months. Xu Qing was surprised to find that Jiang He's belly was a little bulging.
"Don't tell me you're too full?" He clicked his tongue in wonder and rubbed Jiang He's belly with his hands. He even put his ear close to Jiang He's belly in an attempt to hear anything.
"No, I'm seventy percent full …" Jiang He stared at him with a strange expression. He couldn't help but hold his breath. "What did you hear?"
"I didn't hear anything."
"… Then why don't you pretend to listen? Get up."
Jiang He reached out and pulled him to the side. Then he put his hand on it and closed his eyes to feel it.
After a while.
Xu Qing couldn't help but ask, "What did you feel?" He felt that people who practiced martial arts should be more sensitive.
Jiang He shook his head. "I didn't feel anything."
"So it's because you're full that it's bulging?" Xu Qing said.
"I told you I'm only seventy percent full!"
"But you've eaten four pieces of cake. The doctor said you should eat less and eat more."
"According to my appetite, this is eating less."
"The doctor said you should eat less … Let's ask the doctor again and do a check-up." Xu Qing couldn't bear to see Jiang He's aggrieved look when he didn't eat enough. He was worried that she was too full. Her appetite was a little strange no matter how he thought about it.
Counting the days, it was almost time for the prenatal check-up. The regular check-up would start from the eighth week. These two didn't know anything. They just followed the doctor's advice. They could only look at the things on Baidu and couldn't take it seriously.
The two didn't delay. They changed their clothes and went out. They went downstairs and drove to the Maternal and Child Health Hospital to register for the prenatal check-up.
With Xu Qing accompanying her, Jiang He was not so resistant to the hospital. She didn't like coming to the hospital before because the smell of the disinfectant was very unpleasant.
"Do more exercise. Take a walk or something. Don't sit all day."
The doctor was a woman in her forties. She pushed up her glasses and said casually.
"Well … Is it too much exercise to practice boxing?"
The doctor paused for a moment and looked up. "What boxing?"
"Hand boxing."
“？”
"That's … I'll show you."
"There's no need. It's best to take a walk. Don't use any boxing." The doctor stopped Xu Qing's strange movements in time.
"You really can't practice, right?"
"Yes, don't practice."
"See, I told you not to use force. If you hit me again, be careful of the child," Xu Qing said to Jiang He. She didn't know how to be more stable when she was pregnant. She still liked to learn from each other as before.
"…"
Jiang He turned her head to the side and didn't look at him. She could still feel her physical condition.
The doctor took a pen and turned it around in her hand. After thinking for a moment, she said, "Actually, it's okay to move a little."
"This belly … It seems that it takes four months for the pregnancy to show, right? Why is it bulging half a month in advance? Does this also vary from person to person? "
Xu Qing touched Jiang He's belly. After asking this, he saw the doctor's expression become subtle.
"Or …" he probed.
"Twins."
"What?" Xu Qing and Jiang He were both stunned.
…
They went out, got into the car, and left the hospital.
Jiang He stayed in the front passenger seat. He touched his belly and turned his head. The smile on Xu Qing's face never disappeared.
"Are you that happy?"
"Of course, twins! I'm amazing! "
"I'm obviously amazing." Jiang He turned his head to look out of the window. He paused for a moment and said, "Is medical skill so magical? It just bulged, and you know it's two. "
"That's nothing. There's something even more magical. You can know if it's a boy or a girl … It's just that you can't tell us."
"Why can't you tell us?"
"That's a long story." Xu Qing tapped his fingers on the steering wheel. He was quite high-spirited.
Twins!
Two!
"It saves trouble. We don't have to give birth one by one." Jiang He sighed.
"Uh …"
Xu Qing spent some time but couldn't understand Jiang He's thoughts. What did he mean by saving trouble?
"How many do you want?" He couldn't help but ask.
"One."
"I don't believe it."
"It's just one, but there's one more." Jiang He lowered his head and lifted his shirt to look at his belly.
There were two little people inside. They would jump out in about half a year.
It felt so magical.
The two of them made it together.
Every time she thought of this, she felt that the world was very strange. How could there be such a magical and amazing thing?
Two people just covered themselves with a quilt, and they would have a baby.
Jiang He narrowed his eyes and covered himself with his shirt again to prevent his belly from getting cold. He then raised his head and clicked his hands together, making a few crisp sounds.
It was like a dream. It had only been less than five years, from the time he wandered in the pugilistic world with a sword to the time he became pregnant and pondered how to educate his baby every day.
"Do you … it's just … sometimes it suddenly feels unreal."
She asked.
"Unreal? I often do. I've wondered many times if you're delusional, or if I'm delusional. " Xu Qing said casually, "If it weren't for the fact that your Kung Fu is real, I probably would have thought you were a liar and set me up from the beginning."
Jiang He rubbed his belly and didn't say anything. He just tilted his head and looked out the window.
"This is not the way home."
After a while, she said that they had passed the hospital several times.
"We'll go to mom's place. We have to talk to the twins face to face. It'll be fun to see her expression."
"Really?" Jiang He thought of Zhou Suzhi's reaction and couldn't help but laugh. He then straightened his back.
When she had nothing, she lived under Xu Qing's fence. She had to rely on him for food, clothing, housing, and transportation, and this family accepted her.
"Isn't that a black man in front?"
"A black fatty sounds better." Xu Qing always felt that the term "black man" was very awkward. It was true that he was black and strong, but when combined … it was strange.
Qin Hao accompanied Yu Li to stroll by the parterre in the neighborhood. Xu Qing parked the car and got out.
It was the lowest level activity. It was not as advanced as sparring with Jiang He.
"You're not at work?"
"I'm on the night shift. I'm accompanying the pregnant lady to exercise." Qin Hao answered. He didn't quite understand. Her belly wasn't even bulging. Why did she have to exercise? Yu Li was still holding her waist, looking very tired.
But since she wanted to walk, he would let her.
Jiang He blinked and also walked with his hands on his waist. His belly was still protruding forward.
"When is your due date? I think it's faster than ours. "Qin Hao secretly thought that he had been tricked by Xu Qing. He had said that he was not in a hurry, but now his belly was bulging?
"Much faster than you." Xu Qing chuckled.
"How fast? Can it be a month faster? "Qin Hao snorted.
"A month faster than you."
"Huh??"
Qin Hao looked at Xu Qing's back and scratched his head in confusion.
A month faster? A month? A week?
