Chapter 2069: Back

It was sweltering and the heat was suffocating. If an elderly person were to tag along out of concern, would she not only be adding to their problems if she were to fall ill as well? It was unfortunate that Zhai Sheng was in too much of a hurry to explain this truth to Miao Jing.

Thankfully, he had the auntie to depend on. If anything were to happen to his mom, the auntie could help take care of his mom instead of Nan Nan. There would probably not be any major problems.

As such, Zhai Sheng, who had just returned from the military and had not even had the chance to quench his thirst or wash his face, left the house in a hurry once again. Receiving the news that his son had returned from the military, Zhai Yaohui returned home from his chess game at his old friend’s house. However, what greeted him was not a scene of a family reunion but an eerily quiet home. Even the auntie was not around. He was all alone!

Zhai Yaohui frowned. What was going on? Where was everyone? They could not possibly have gone out to celebrate without him, right?

Since he could not think of an answer, he decided not to waste any more effort and simply made a phone call. “Hello, where are all of you? In the hospital? Who’s sick? Are you feeling unwell?” That could not be right. He had not heard Miao Miao complaining about being unwell these days but Miao Miao had said that their daughter-in-law was looking rather pale lately. “Is it Nan Nan?”

“Give me a second. The doctor’s out. I’ll talk to you soon.” Miao Jing was anxious to receive the results from the doctor. Because she had been waiting for the doctor earlier, she had picked up the phone call from Zhai Yaohui since she was afraid he would be worried. Now that the results were out, Miao Jing had eyes for only her tender and chubby grandson. She had no time to care about her husband, Zhai Yaohui, at all. With that, she rushed up to the doctor. “Doctor, what’s happened to our Nan Nan?”

“Congratulations! She’s pregnant. It’s been almost fourteen weeks...” The doctor was just about to ask a routine question about whether the patient had undergone any prenatal checkup, but thinking about how the family seemed to have just found out about the pregnancy, he skipped that question. “Because the first trimester is over, the patient’s and child’s situations are a little more stable now. But I did notice that the patient is a little older than average. Even though the first trimester is over, it’s best that her family members pay more attention to her. Pregnancy is harder on the patient’s body because of her age, so it’ll be better for the patient and the child if she remains in good health.”

The doctor reminded the patient and her family of a list of things to take note of, especially since Qiao Nan was pregnant at this age. He spent a good amount of time instructing the patient on how to ensure balanced nutrition and health of the mother and child.

He had no other choice. He had to pay careful attention to this patient. He might not have recognized that pregnant lady, but he recognized the soldier who had sent the patient in. He had seen him on television before! From his posture, the doctor knew straightaway that that soldier had close ties to that pregnant lady. Besides, the hospital director had already instructed him to pay careful attention to this patient and to give detailed instructions to the patient and her family.

While the doctor was giving his instructions, Miao Jing had not yet hung up her phone call. Although Zhai Yaohui’s eyesight had deteriorated over the years, his hearing was still quite good.

As such, Zhai Yaohui had heard perfectly that Qiao Nan was pregnant and that they would be welcoming a new life into their family! Although Zhai Yaohui had never been as anxious as Miao Jing had in the past, rushing Zhai Sheng to get married, he had yearned for a grandchild in his heart too.

Now that he was finally getting that grandchild after such a long time, Zhai Yaohui was over the moon. If Zhai Yaohui had been with his friends at this time, they would be puzzled as to why the old chief, who was always stoic and stern, was suddenly being so emotional.

“Miao Miao?” Zhai Yaohui took a deep breath before calling out to Miao Jing.

Hearing Zhai Yaohui’s voice, Miao Jing suddenly realized that she had not hung up the call. “Did you hear what the doctor said?” Miao Jing was so emotional that she was on the verge of tears. She had never even been this emotional and moved even when she had gotten married to Zhai Yaohui, gotten pregnant for the first time, or when she had given birth to Zhai Hua!

“I heard it.” Zhai Yaohui’s voice was a little shaky. As Zhai Yaohui’s closest kin, Miao Jing knew from his tone that Zhai Yaohui was equally overjoyed. “Nan Nan’s pregnant, so we’ll have to be more careful at home in the future. Hurry and hang up the phone. Phones have radiation. Didn’t you say that there are clothes that are anti-radiation nowadays? Get Nan Nan a few pieces of those clothes!”

Zhai Yaohui had to admit that now that society had developed, every family’s children were pampered with all sorts of things. Zhai Yaohui had only heard his friends talk about radiation. Now that his daughter-in-law was pregnant, he would have to take note of that too. It was better to be safe than sorry.

Of course, they would spare no expense for the sake of the child.

“Right, right. I’ll hang up and switch my phone off. We can talk when we return home.” The moment Miao Jing heard that, the conversation was over. She did not even wait to end the call before switching off her phone. Then, she placed her phone securely in her bag. With these many layers of protection, Miao Jing could finally rest assured.

“That’s about it.” The doctor felt rather stressed in front of Zhai Sheng.

It was Zhai Sheng’s first time being a father. As such, he took special care to remember everything that the doctor had said. “Alright, thank you.” Nan Nan was pregnant with his child! It had been three months!

If he had not happened to return today, he might very well have missed out on this special moment!

Qiao Nan had been sent to the hospital because she had fainted, after all. As such, the Zhai family treated Qiao Nan like a fragile vase, specially protecting her from every side because she was pregnant. It felt so excessive that Qiao Nan was feeling ill at ease. “Mom, Brother Zhai, you guys are exaggerating it. I’m fine.”

No wonder her mother-in-law and the auntie had said that she seemed to have lost weight while she felt that her pants had gotten tighter. It was because there was a new life growing inside her. As for the number of children inside her, Qiao Nan had not asked about it. She decided to wait until the checkup in the fourth month. Then, the doctor would probably inform her about it without her needing to ask anyway.

With such a blissful life, Qiao Nan did not dare to dream of having the good fortune of giving birth to three adorable and intelligent children all at once, just like she had in her dream.
