Ai Cao never thought that..,
She would actually be pregnant..,
When she heard this news..,
She was stunned at first, then she touched her stomach and had an inexplicable feeling in her heart. Was there going to be a life here? It was a little person who was related to her by blood.
Thinking of this, Ai Cao was a little excited and felt that this might not be a bad thing.
But Ren Wanwan saw her in a daze..,
She thought that she was scared, so she half-hugged her shoulder and said with concern, "It's okay..,
Don't panic too much..,
We can find Auntie Qian to settle it. Oh right, are you going to tell Gu Dong about this? "
Ren Wanwan didn't need the Ai Cao to tell her. Based on the Ai Cao's usual enthusiasm for Gu Dong..,
She knew that this child was most likely his.
"Gu Dong? Of course I have to tell Gu Dong! "The Ai Cao finally reacted,
Her face was full of joy. She blissfully placed her right hand on her lower abdomen,
She said excitedly to Ren Wanwan, "I'm going to have a baby..,
I'm going to be a mother. "
"You..." Ren Wanwan frowned when she heard the Ai Cao's words.
"Oh..,
No, I'm going to be a mother! "The Ai Cao said excitedly. She even brought out the title from her previous life.
"You're going to have a child!" Ren Wanwan looked at her in surprise,
This time, she couldn't believe it.
"Yeah, why not? This is Gu Dong and my child! "The Ai Cao looked at Ren Wanwan strangely. Why would she ask such a question?
"But you're still in school! And are you married? Does Gu Dong want this child? "
"Go to school?" This was indeed troublesome. But the Ai Cao wouldn't give up on the child because of this. "I'll discuss this with Gu Dong.
Oh right..,
Didn't I tell you that..,
Did Gu Dong and I get married a long time ago? "
"How old are you?!"
"Seventeen, but the nominal age is already eighteen." The village calculated the age according to the nominal age.
"Okay, okay." Ren Wanwan didn't know what to say. However, she always felt that this age should be the best. She should go to school and do what she should do at this age.
But it seemed like the Ai Cao wasn't doing nothing, right?
Knowing that Ai Cao wanted to have a child, the two of them asked Auntie Qian for a few more physical examinations before they slowly walked out of the hospital.
The Ai Cao was very happy now. It felt like it was a dream. The worry in Ren Wanwan's heart was still there.
"Are you sure Gu Dong wants this child? You're not going to quit school for this child, are you? "
"Gu Dong should be happy to know that he has a child. Previously, Fu Jiu was very excited when he found out that Fu Fang was pregnant. Hey, don't worry too much. I won't stop going to school. "
In the past, he wanted to study in hopes that his life would be slightly different from Gu Dong's. He didn't want to stay in the village for the rest of his life. He didn't want to be ostracized by others, constantly facing danger, and feeling insecure. But now, Mugwort felt that his motivation to study was greater.
With a child, she hoped that she could give the child a better environment in the future. She more or less heard about Gu Dong's bad experiences. She didn't want her child to go through those hardships in the future.
"Are there many people in your village who get married and have children like you?" Although there were people in the city who got married early, most of them were after twenty. But this was not the case in the village.
"In the village, people around my age usually get married and have children. After eighteen, they are considered old and will be criticized." This was similar to the era she lived in. In her previous life, Ai Cao had seen too many people who got married at the age of fourteen or fifteen. She didn't have any reaction to this.
But now that she had read a lot of biology books, she knew that it was not good for a girl's body to get married and have children too early. But now that she was pregnant, she couldn't say that she didn't want a child.
Gu Dong knew that the reaction to this matter was bigger than Ai Cao expected. He hugged Ai Cao excitedly and spun her around twice. Ren Wanwan, who was standing beside him, was so scared that she started to sweat.
"Be careful! Don't hurt her! "
"Hahaha. Yes, yes, yes." Gu Dong was very happy. But when he heard Ren Wanwan's words, he immediately put Ai Cao down carefully. He even held her arm and asked: "Are you feeling unwell? Do you want me to lie down in the house? "
"No need, I'm fine." Mugwort's eyes curved. She knew that Gu Dong would like this child.
"She still has to go to school. What do you think we should do about this? "Ren Wanwan asked Gu Dong bluntly.
She would definitely be criticized if she got pregnant and had a child while she was still in school. And it was very likely that she would be dissuaded by the school teachers.
The child was definitely the most important. Gu Dong thought that he could let Ai Cao rest at home first. After she gave birth to the child, she could go back to school.
"You're thinking too much. If we delay like this, we'll have to wait for a year! Now that the National College Entrance Examination has been reinstated, who knows what will happen in the future? "
"Okay! Then continue to study. I will think of a way to go to your school and talk to the school leaders about this matter. " Gu Dong frowned. This matter was not easy to deal with. Although Ren Wanwan's question was very annoying, what she said was the truth.
"You should think of a way as soon as possible. Ai Cao should go to school first. It is winter now. She should wear thicker clothes. I will try my best to take care of her in school."
"Thank you, Wanwan!" Ai Cao held her hand and thanked her sincerely. She knew that Ren Wanwan really treated her as a good friend. Ren Wanwan was always thinking about her.
"Forget it. You are simple-minded. I only hope that Gu Dong can always treat you like this in the future. Otherwise … studying will be good for your future, Ai Cao. "
Ren Wanwan said this sentence in front of Gu Dong. The meaning was clear. She was saying that if Gu Dong did not treat her well in the future, she would have a bright future if she continued to study.
"She is my wife. Of course, I will always treat her well!" Gu Dong looked at Ai Cao and said seriously.
It was a good thing after all. After thinking about the general direction of the future, the three of them had a small celebration in the courtyard rented by Ai Cao.
Before Ren Wanwan returned home, Ren Wanwan even gave her two fat rabbits.
"If it's the elderly, pregnant people can't eat rabbits. Here, I'll bring this back for you!" Gu Dong pointed at the two fat grey rabbits tied up in the courtyard and said to Ren Wanwan.
"Wow! They are so cute! "Ren Wanwan liked looking at the rabbits, but she was not very interested in the rabbit head.
"These two are for you to eat. If you want rabbits, I will find you a pure white one next time."
In fact, these rabbits were raised by Ai Cao in Zhuangzi. The reproduction ability of these little things was too strong. If they were not eaten, it would be a disaster. Therefore, Ai Cao found an excuse to give them away: "Ask Gu Dong to help you send them back. Also, go to Zhuang Yan and Jiang Yuan and send two to them."
"Ask them to come and get them!" Gu Dong was not willing to run around now. He was worried about leaving Ai Cao alone in the house.
"It's okay! You are too careful now. I did what I was supposed to do yesterday. Don't be too nervous! "
Seeing that Gu Dong really cared about the mugwort from the bottom of his heart, Ren Wanwan's worry for her best friend was finally relieved. Before he left, he did not ask the couple to send him off. He carried one rabbit in each hand and went out.
Originally, Gu Dong and Ai Cao planned to take the bus home this afternoon. However, Gu Dong said that it was too tiring to take the bus home. Moreover, it was too rushed, so he decided to wait until next week to go back.
Gu Dong had been to the city many times and bought and sold things for a long time. He was also very smart.
He asked someone and found out about the principal of Ai Cao's school. He specially found an opportunity to bring a few bottles of good alcohol and cigarettes to the principal at night.
When the principal heard about this, he first thought that there was something wrong with this student. Then, Gu Dong cried miserably. With snot and tears, he told the principal about Ai Cao's life in front of the principal's wife.
"Ai Cao's family did not treat her as a human. They gave her to my family for a few dozen yuan of betrothal gifts. I know it is wrong for her to get pregnant in school. However, it is normal for people of our age to get married and have children. We did not think that there was anything wrong with it. Later on, our family watched Ai Cao and wanted to study. So, we gathered money to send her to school. I only found out now that the school does not allow students to get pregnant. "
"She should be expelled from school." The principal took a puff of his cigarette and did not let go.
"Her family also wants her to drop out of school. Do you think it is not good for a woman to give birth at home? Why does she have to study no matter what? Studying is useless for a girl. Am I right, principal? "Seeing that the principal was rather old-fashioned, Gu Dong changed his mind and immediately acted like a loafer in the village.
"My family spent a lot of money to marry her. Now that school fees are expensive, I think it is better for her to go home and give birth."
"Hey, you young man. Didn't you want her to go to school just now?" The principal's wife was reading the newspaper at the side with her eyes closed. When she heard Gu Dong's words, she immediately responded.
"Isn't that because she cried and made a fuss at home and insisted on going to school? Why does she have to go to school? "Gu Dong saw that the principal had finished his cigarette and handed him another one.
"Alright, let her continue with her classes. Just try to cover it up when she's wearing clothes. Don't go around talking nonsense. Also, if this matter really spreads in school, she'll have to bear with the rumors. You guys should think about it when you go back."
The principal kept smoking the cigarette in his mouth. After he finished speaking, he directly sent Gu Dong out.
"Hey, have you seen that girl before? She is so pitiful. Her adoptive parents secretly exchanged her for money. Now, the Gu family does not seem to treat her very well. Fortunately, she knows how to study. I hope she can work harder in the future. Otherwise, her life in the village will be very difficult. "The principal's wife sighed. She felt that Ai Cao was very pitiful.
"Forget it. She might have a better life than us!" The principal put out his cigarette and took a sip of water from the enamel jar. He curled his lips and said.
"What?" His wife did not understand.
"Look at what he sent over." The principal gestured to his wife to look at the bag of things Gu Dong sent over. "The cigarettes and alcohol are all available, but they are limited. I only smoked cigarettes for a while when I went to the city for a meeting. They are very expensive!"
"Aiya, his family is quite well-to-do. But the better the man's family is, the lower the position of the woman's head will be when she marries into the family. It is hard to say whether her life will be good or bad."
"Forget it. Since she knows how to study, give her a chance. Whether she can make good use of it or not depends on her."
Now that the college entrance examination had just been reinstated, the whole school, from the principal to the teachers and even the gatekeepers, were very supportive of the students' ability to study and enter university.
Their generation had experienced too much. Now, they firmly believed that knowledge could change one's fate.
In the middle of December, Gu Dong brought Ai Cao back to the village. It was very cold at this time, and people did not go to work. This gave more time for the people who were preparing for the college entrance examination to revise.
However, when Mugwort saw Fu Fang, she was very surprised. Her belly was very big, and she looked like she was about to give birth. However, she didn't seem to be in a good mood. She only smiled happily when the child in her belly was mentioned.
Later, she found out from Tian Yuanyuan that Fu Fang had given up on revising and did not plan to take the college entrance examination.
Duan Xue had a miscarriage. Her mother-in-law said that she was cruel. She deliberately left the village to take the college entrance examination and did not want the child. This incident had some impact in the village.
Fu Jiu had told Fu Fang several times to take care of her body and the child. In the end, when she saw Fu Fang reading, she would inexplicably throw a tantrum and look for trouble.
Fu Fang was not stupid. She quickly understood Fu Jiu's thoughts. In addition, her parents-in-law had been carefully "taking care of" her all day long. In fact, this was a disguised form of watching over her. They were afraid that she would learn a thing or two from Duan Xue.
But how could that be? This was also because of her child. However, after the child's frequent fetal movements, she felt that staying up late to study was not enough. Usually, when she sat and read for too long, her stomach would feel uncomfortable.
After weighing the situation at home and her body, Fu Fang finally cried to Fu Jiu and said that she would not take the college entrance examination, revise, or take the college entrance examination. She wanted to prepare for the birth of the child.
She was undoubtedly sad when she made this decision. However, the rest of the family could clearly see that everyone was happy with her decision.
Her mother-in-law took even more care of her. She pulled her aside and talked about the benefits of living in the countryside and Fu Jiu's capabilities. Her father-in-law saw that she was no longer always so tense and did not speak much. Not only did Fu Jiu's temper return to normal, but he also became more considerate and attentive to her. He ate so much that he wished he could feed her. When he went out, he wished he could carry her.
When everyone knew about Fu Fang's decision, only Duan Xue copied her and said, "Silly." The other educated youths did not have any opinions. After all, everyone had their own considerations and choices. When the villagers heard Fu Fang's mother-in-law say that her daughter-in-law was not taking the college entrance examination, they would praise her endlessly and say that she was a family-oriented person.
Because it was already winter, the weather was exceptionally cold. In addition, there was no need to go to work, so Grandpa Gu did not let the young couple run back and forth. He asked Gu Dong to take care of the Ai Cao in the county town. If there were any problems at home, they could send a message to him.
The college entrance examination was approaching. Regardless of whether they were taking the exam or not, the atmosphere in the school was even more intense. Everyone was working hard on their studies. Naturally, there were fewer idle chatters.
The Ai Cao no longer lived in the dormitory. Instead, she moved out to live with Gu Dong in the small courtyard they rented. Ren Wanwan saw that she did not live in the dormitory. She had also experienced communal living. In addition, the school dormitory was too cold in winter, so she also moved back home.
The two of them agreed to go to school together. Every morning, Ren Wanwan would come over to look for the Ai Cao. In the evening, she would send her back after school.
Her actions reduced Gu Dong's burden. With someone helping to take care of the Ai Cao, it was also more convenient for him to go to the city. However, he also knew that he had to admit his feelings. Every time he came back from the city, he would bring some rare things for the Ai Cao. He would also bring some for Ren Wanwan and let her take them home.
