“Yes.” Jiang Mochen said.
“Confirmed?”
“I’ll show you the test report later.”
Mother Jiang nodded. She thought this was really strange, but after thinking about it, it was okay. Although it was strange, having children was always a good thing. Besides, having a child would make their marriage stronger, and she wouldn’t have to worry about her son losing his mind someday and getting involved with that little white lotus again.
For a strong woman like Mother Jiang who worked hard when she was young and guarded the Jiang Group alongside Father Jiang, even though she now looked soft and easy to talk to, when she was young, she was a woman who spoke the truth and acted resolutely. She had met too many people, so when she got to know that Jiang Mochen liked Yuan Mingxu, she sent someone to secretly observe Yuan Mingxu. This observation almost made her vomit blood, but it was not just a living flower eating in a bowl. Should she still look at the white lotus who used her son as a spare tire in the pot?
With Yuan Mingxu in front of her for comparison, Mother Jiang was very satisfied with Yan Qingchi after marriage, and naturally hoped that they would always be harmonious and beautiful. From this point of view, she needed to thank Yuan Mingxu.
Although she still had doubts, in order not to be compared with the Yan family’s parents, Mother Jiang temporarily suppressed her doubts and said with concern, “Xiao Chi is pregnant, does he need someone to take care of him? Or I can stay at your house for a while, and help you take care of him.”
“Forget it, his mother still wanted to come, but he rejected him. Qingchi doesn’t like others being cautious about him and taking care of him like a porcelain doll.”
“How can that be done? This pregnancy is a big deal, especially since Qingchi is a boy. You two don’t understand anything. What if something happens?”
“It’s okay. I have contacted the doctor and he will come for regular check-ups. By the way, after a while, mom, please tell Aunt Zhang and ask her to come back to you. At present, only his parents and you know about Qingchi’s pregnancy. We don’t want too many people to know.”
“Okay, okay, too. It’s true that we can’t let too many people know. But if you ask Xiao Zhang to come back to us, what will you do over there? Who will cook for you?”
“We will cook for ourselves.”
“You or Xiao Chi? Xiao Chi is pregnant, so you just don’t let him do this. As for you,” Mother Jiang looked at him, “Have you ever been in the kitchen in all these years? Do you still know how to cook?”
Jiang Mochen was a little embarrassed, “I can learn.”
Mother Jiang looked at Father Jiang after hearing this. At one glance, Father Jiang chuckled, and Mother Jiang said “yo”, “I didn’t realize that our Xiao Mo still loves his wife. In the past, he didn’t even touch the pots and pans, but now he has to learn how to cook for him to eat.”
Jiang Xingchen couldn’t help but smile when she heard this.
Jiang Mochen felt a little embarrassed, “Mom, this is off topic.”
“What’s wrong, you’re 28, and you’re still shy?”
Jiang Mochen was speechless, “If you don’t have anything else to do, let’s break up the meeting. I’ll go downstairs first.”
“Are you going to accompany Xiao Chi and Qi Qi? After not seeing each other for a while, you started to think about him?”
Jiang Mochen had never thought that his mother had such a venomous side. He didn’t know how to reply for a moment, so he could only turn around helplessly and go downstairs silently. It made the Jiang parents laugh, and they laughed behind him for a long time.
It wasn’t until he left that the three Jiang family members looked at each other. Their eyes gradually lost their smile and showed some worry.
Jiang Xingchen consoled them, “It’s good. Having children is always a good thing.”
Father Jiang and Mother Jiang nodded, “Yes, it’s always a good thing.”
The two elders sighed and silently comforted themselves, saying that after all, it was a good thing and worth being happy about.
At midnight, the New Year’s bell rang after the countdown of the Spring Festival Gala host. Because the Jiang family’s parents lived in a private villa, they were not prohibited from setting off fireworks. Jiang Mochen picked up Qi Qi and said to Yan Qingchi, “Let’s go down and set off the fireworks.”
Qi Qi was already a little sleepy, but after hearing the words fireworks, he woke up again, “Fireworks?”
“Yes.” Jiang Mochen hugged him and went out.
Father Jiang took out the fireworks he bought. As soon as they went out, they saw someone had already started to set off fireworks.
When Qi Qi saw the fireworks, his eyes widened. He pointed to the sky and said to Jiang Mochen, “Fireworks.”
“Yeah.” Jiang Mochen kissed him.
Qi Qi was busy watching the fireworks and didn’t pay attention for a moment.
Father Jiang placed the fireworks he bought on the ground, lit them, and stepped back.
Soon, the line of fire burned, and with a “whoosh” sound, the fiery red fireworks with a dazzling tail rushed upward like a comet.
Qi Qi said “Wow” and was very surprised.
Yan Qingchi looked at the fireworks and felt a little happy.
The fireworks in the sky kept changing into different patterns. Jiang Mochen held Qi Qi in his arms and saw Yan Qingchi looking up at the night sky. In the black night, against the background of the fireworks, his facial features looked particularly delicate and fascinating.
When Qi Qi wasn’t paying attention, Jiang Mochen lowered his head secretly and kissed Yan Qingchi on the face.
Yan Qingchi was startled and turned around to see Jiang Mochen looking at him with a smile.
He slowly smiled, gentle and beautiful.
Jiang Mochen changed his posture, holding Qi Qi with one hand, he then stretched out his hand to hold his hand.
Yan Qingchi didn’t move and quietly let him hold his hand.
They watched the fireworks together, watched the excitement and joy of the New Year, and watched the prosperity.
Then, after the fireworks stopped, they looked at the other person.
“Happy New Year.” Jiang Mochen said.
“You too,” Yan Qingchi said softly, “Happy New Year.”
“Okay.”
Jiang Xingchen looked at them, smiled silently, and said nothing.
Every day in this world there were many joys and sorrows, some cried, some laughed, some were happy, some were sad, but okay, they were all still happy, all were still happy, this was good. Jiang Xingchen was very satisfied. She thought this was good.
After Father Jiang set off several large fireworks, he took out the small ones he bought and gave them to them. Qi Qi liked them very much. Although he was a little scared, he still let Yan Qingchi light them for him.
He took the fairy stick, kept drawing circles, and asked Yan Qingchi, “Dad, does it look good?”
“It looks good.” Yan Qingchi said, lighting one and playing with him.
Seeing this, Jiang Mochen also joined the two of them. The three of them finished half the box of fairy sticks before returning to the room.
After playing enough, Qi Qi felt a little sleepy. His eyes closed and opened from time to time. It was very obvious that he wanted to sleep.
Jiang parents gave him a red envelope, and Jiang Xingchen also gave him a big red envelope.
Qi Qi took them one by one and bowed to them to say thank you.
Yan Qingchi and Jiang Mochen did not give him the red envelope directly but pressed it under his pillow. When Qi Qi woke up the next morning, Yan Qingchi told him to look under the pillow.
Qi Qi opened the pillow and saw two big red envelopes. He said “Wow” in surprise and asked him, “Who gave it to me? Is it dad?”
“Yes, your father and I gave it to you, Qi Qi. Happy New Year.”
Qi Qi held up the bulging red envelopes and tilted his head to ask him, “But Dad, what should Qi Qi do with these red envelopes?”
“You can save them first. Later, when Qi Qi has something he wants to buy, you can buy it with this.”
Qi Qi seemed to understand.
Yan Qingchi helped him get dressed and said to him: “In a few days, dad will buy you a little treasure box. You put the red envelope in your little treasure box first, and then you can take it out to spend when you want to buy something.”
Qi Qi nodded “Oh”, took the red envelope and shook it, smiling happily.
On the first day of the new year, they agreed to go back to Yan’s house, so Jiang Mochen and Yan Qingchi had dinner and went back with Qi Qi. When Father Yan and Mother Yan saw him coming back, they naturally gave him some advice. Yan Qingchi complied with them one by one and felt that he was richer now that he was pregnant with a child.
When he returned to his home on the second day of the New Year, Yan Qingchi felt a little more liberated. Because of the Chinese New Year, Aunt Zhang had also gone home, and Jiang Mochen took advantage of this period to try to learn how to cook in the kitchen. He was so proud that he was embarrassed to let Yan Qingchi watch him make mistakes, so he pushed Yan Qingchi back to the bedroom early and let him sleep.
Where could Yan Qingchi sleep? Just when he was hesitating whether to go help Jiang Mochen, Qi Qi suddenly ran in and shouted to him, “Dad, it’s snowing.”
Yan Qingchi stood up and looked out the window. Suddenly, snowflakes had started falling, covering almost half of the colors outside the window.
Qi Qi wanted to go out to play. Yan Qingchi put on his down jacket, scarf and hat. He asked Qi Qi to wait for him at the entrance. He walked into the kitchen and said to Jiang Mochen, “It’s snowing outside. I will go out to play with Qi Qi for a while.”
Upon hearing this, Jiang Mochen immediately put down his phone, a little nervous, “You don’t go, I will go out with Qi Qi to play for a while, and you stay at home.”
Yan Qingchi said helplessly, “You? Who doesn’t recognize your face? What are you doing going out there? Besides, I am just pregnant, not disabled. You are all being a little too nervous.”
“It’s not a big deal for children to play around. It won’t be good if they bump into you.”
“I’m not stupid, I can hide.”
“But…”
“No but,” Yan Qingchi said firmly, “You stay at home and learn to cook, I will take Qi Qi to play in the snow, that’s it.”
“You can go down on your own, but you can’t stop me from coming down.”
“There’s no way, if you go down, I’ll probably have to stand beside you. I really understand your current thoughts very well. That’s it. No refutation or cheating, otherwise I will be in a bad mood. You must have listened to what your mother and my mother said these past two days. During this period of time, I have to stay in a good mood, understand?”
Jiang Mochen was speechless.
Yan Qingchi smiled and said, “Goodbye, cook well, Mr. Jiang.”
After he said that, he took Qi Qi and went out.
Because Yan Qingchi was pregnant, he couldn’t hide his face with makeup, so he wore a mask. Because it was winter, many adults and children were wrapped up tightly and wore hats, masks, and gloves, so no one thought he was strange.
Yan Qingchi made a snowball for Qi Qi, made one for himself, and then threw it towards Qi Qi. Qi Qi threw his own out, and the two of them had a snowball fight.
It snowed, and other children ran out from their homes to play one after another. When they saw the two of them having a snowball fight, they joined in. Qi Qi couldn’t beat them, so Yan Qingchi helped him play together. Soon, other children joined in. The two of them laughed and said, “No more, no more.”
Then, Yan Qingchi took Qi Qi and started building a snowman.
