Free Web NovelChapter 1630: Chapter 1072: Going Home (Part 2)
Yesterday, Guoguo kept sighing while looking at me, saying that if I keep getting fatter, she won’t dare to sleep in the same bed with me anymore, fearing that I’d crush her to half-death."
"You’re exaggerating too much..." Chuxia shook her head in amusement," Compared to before, you two have indeed gained quite a bit of weight, but it’s not as exaggerated as Doudou says.
Before Xiaoqiong was pregnant, she weighed exactly 109 pounds, was 152 pounds when giving birth, and now she’s 126 pounds. She’s a bit overweight, but nothing too extreme. Before your pregnancy, Doudou, you were 105 pounds, reached 145 during labor, and now you’re 121 pounds, which is slightly overweight, but if you want to crush someone to death, you’ve got to try harder.
You feel fat now because you expected to slim down immediately after giving birth, but realistically, it doesn’t happen that fast. Your belly takes at least a month to contract, wait and measure again after a month.
The soup we make for you has had the fat skimmed off, and the food isn’t overly greasy either. If you keep worrying like this, the elders will indeed feel sad and disappointed.
To keep you both healthy and ensure the baby is well, they’ve spent hours coming up with all kinds of dishes you enjoy, but you’re still fretting, think about it, would you be happy if you were them?"
"But I remember, Chuxia, you slimmed down a week after having Beibei and Nannan." Luo Xiaoqiong looked at Chuxia in distress," Could heaven be so unfair, making such a big difference over this matter?"
"Get out of here..." Chuxia rolled her eyes," I was wearing loose clothes; you couldn’t tell right away, how can you know if there’s meat or not on my body?
"Anyway, not as chubby as us. I’ve pinched your waist, and there’s not much more than before..." Yun Doudou sighed, looking at Luo Xiaoqiong," There should be a little, we’re older than Chuxia, so recovery is slower, that’s unavoidable, let’s not get worked up over it.
Chuxia felt exasperated, really, saying recovery is slow at twenty-two because of age, what about those having kids in their thirties in the future?
But, girls love beauty, no matter what she says now, they can’t help but worry. After some time, when they get used to this state and grow closer to the children, they won’t be so bothered.
Be it Chuxia’s hometown customs or those in A City, there’s a big family gathering on the child’s first month, where both the maternal and paternal grandparents’ relatives reunite, hence, right after the first month celebration, the families set off grandly.
Although Zhao Qiliang isn’t present, Luo Xiaoqiong, being a daughter-in-law of Zhao’s house, naturally has to hold the child’s first month banquet at Zhao’s house. So, after a brief rest in A City, Chuxia’s family followed Luo Xiaoqiong’s group to Xiaolin Village first.
Zhao Qiliang’s deployment to the front line was widely known, having been gone so long, there were all kinds of rumors, luckily Zhao Yushan was now a deputy secretary in town, some things people dared not say to his face, but occasional pitiful glances were still noticeable.
This made Zhao Yushan very uncomfortable, but it’s human nature, it doesn’t mean people are wishing ill upon Qiliang, but with the war so intense, broadcasted daily, it’s inevitable people speculate. Even if he knows what people think, what could he say?
Therefore, his grandson’s birth finally provided him with pride.
"Big brother, look how delighted you are, grinning from ear to ear..." Second uncle Zhang Guojun teased at Zhao Yushan’s joyful expression.
Zhao Yushan smiled complacently:" How can I not be happy? The Zhao family’s lineage is secure, even if I pass now, there’s nothing regretful, you must urge Xiaoqing to hurry up, he’s not young anymore, what’s he doing idling about like this?
"Big brother, Xiaoqing is the same age as Chuxia, even younger by a few months, how is he not young?" Zhang Guojun shook his head helplessly," If Xiaoqing hears this, he’d truly fall out with you two, he himself said he wants to establish a career before marrying, you suggesting marriage now is wrecking his prospects in his view.
"Haha..." Zhao Yushan awkwardly laughed," I’m just joking, Xiaoqing isn’t yet at the age to find a partner, but I’m not afraid of him flipping out with me.
I think, this kid shows promise, even when his brother-in-law arranged everything for him, he insisted on striving to get into college on his own, wanting to make his mark with his abilities, and precisely because of that, the future is sure to shine!"
"Hopefully..." Zhang Guojun sighed," This kid was spoilt from a young age and is very opinionated, difficult to persuade, just hope he doesn’t go astray later on.
"Don’t worry, Xiaoqing’s a sensible lad, more lively than his brother, he surely won’t turn out worse, ease your mind..." Glancing at the time, Zhao Yushan stood," They’re probably arriving soon, I’ll head back first, note my leave.
Zhang Guojun nodded:" Okay, you go ahead, I’ll bring Yucui and Xiaoqing over after work."
"Secretary..." Clerk Little Liu hurriedly ran over," The county just called, saying County Chief Loo is coming down to conduct research, he might be visiting us, prepare for his reception."
"Why does he love doing this sort of thing so much?" Zhang Guojun frowned," He was here last week, now coming again, unclear about what exactly he wants to research."
"What should we do then..." Zhao Yushan worried," Isn’t it inappropriate for me not to be here, right?
"It’s nothing inappropriate, you can leave." Zhang Guojun waived off," But you haven’t seen them in so long, Qiliang’s on a mission, I doubt they’d mind half a day’s leave!"(To be continued.
