Chapter 387 Ding Qiunan is pregnant

That day, when Zhao Ye finished entertaining the guests, he hurried back to the courtyard. It was already 09:30 in the middle of the night. He was originally worried that Ding Qiunan had fallen asleep, but when he looked up, he found that the lights at home were still on.

Knowing that his wife was still waiting for him to come home, Zhao Ziyi couldn't help but feel warm. The moment he pushed the door in, he scolded: "Why don't you rest at such a late hour? I will be late next time when I come back. Don't wait for me anymore."

As soon as he finished speaking, it was not only Ding Qiunan who responded to Zhao Ye, but also the voice of his mother-in-law.

"Mom, Zhao Ye is back."

"I have ears, you don't need to remind me."

Under Zhao Ye's surprised eyes, Ding's mother took the lead to greet her. As soon as they met, she complained: "What's wrong with you kid? Why did you come home just now? Don't you know Qiu Nan is waiting for you at home?"

Just as Zhao Ye was about to explain, Ding Qiunan had already taken the lead and said, "Mom, didn't I tell you everything? Zhao Ye was promoted to deputy section chief today, so there will be a lot of socializing. It's understandable that he came back late."

Mother Ding shook her head and sighed angrily: "Oh, no wonder they say that the water thrown out by the married daughter is something that Mom has not done yet, but you have already protected her!"

Ding Qiunan smiled sheepishly, and then walked to Zhao Ye. While taking the coat he took off skillfully, he said softly and concernedly: "You must have drunk a lot of wine. Do you want me to get you some hangover soup?"

"No, you know my drinking capacity, it's nothing serious."

"Then let me pour you some hot water to wash away the smell of alcohol on your body."

"I'll do it by myself, and you can talk to mom."

Hearing her son-in-law mention her, Ding's mother said, "Okay, since you are back, I will leave. Your father is still waiting for me at home."

Zhao Ye quickly advised: "What can we do? It's already ten o'clock. You're going back now. It's not safe on the road."

Ding Qiunan also agreed: "Yes, Mom, just stay with me for one night. Anyway, Dad is not a three-year-old child and can take care of himself."

Faced with the kindness of her daughter and son-in-law, Mother Ding was initially a little moved, but when she saw the small bedroom, she changed her mind.

"Forget it, you don't have anywhere to live here."

Zhao Ye gave her reassurance: "Don't worry, there is plenty of room. If it doesn't work out, I'll go to the study next door and make do for one night."

"No, no! It's such a cold day, and if you catch a cold, Qiu Nan won't have to blame me, saying that I, as a mother, don't care about my son-in-law!"

"It's okay. There's a stove in the room over there. I'll light it up in a while."

Seeing Zhao Ye's insistence, Mother Ding reluctantly agreed: "Okay then, I'll just stay for one night. It just so happens that you can't share the same room recently."

Hearing this, Ding Qiunan immediately blushed and said, "Mom, what did you say?"

Mother Ding smiled and said, "What did you say? Mom is telling the truth!"

Zhao Ye on the side heard the conversation between the two and his eyes widened in surprise: "Qiu Nan, are you pregnant?"

Ding Qiunan touched his belly and replied softly with a satisfied smile: "Well, you are going to be a father."

Although he had been a father more than once in the previous worlds, Zhao Ye still felt very pleasantly surprised. He quickly and carefully helped Ding Qiunan to the bedside and sat down. While taking her pulse, he asked: "When did you find out? Why didn't you find out?" Tell me?"

Ding Qiunan explained: "I only found out when I went out with my mother in the afternoon, so I didn't have time to tell you."

"Hey, by the way, I haven't asked you yet, what did you and mom do? It made me worry all afternoon, for fear that something big would happen."

"I took Qiunan to meet an old friend from the past."

Mother Ding answered the question for her daughter, and then said in annoyance: "If I had known that Qiunan was pregnant, I would never have taken her out to meet guests."

Ding Qiunan comforted her and said, "Mom, you are not exaggerating. I am not a piece of paper. It's not a big deal to go out. If you don't believe me, just ask Zhao Ye."

Ding's mother knew that her son-in-law's medical skills were extremely superb, so she immediately looked at him after hearing this, wanting to hear what he had to say.

Zhao Ye pondered: "Qiu Nan is right, she is in good health, but she has just become pregnant, so she should be more careful in the first three months."

Having said this, he paused slightly, then turned to Ding Qiunan and told Ding Qiunan: "From tomorrow on, you will not ride a bicycle. I will personally pick you up and drop off your get off work."

"That's so bad. If others see it, why don't they say I'm squeamish?"

Zhao Ye was from a later generation, so he didn't care about this. He immediately said disapprovingly: "What do you care about those idle people? They have their mouths on others, and they can say whatever they want."

Mother Ding also said: "Qiu Nan, listen to Zhao Ye, you are a couple. Even if you get a little intimate outside, it is not a big deal. You are not afraid of other people's remarks."

Ding Qiunan was just too thin-skinned and didn't really want to refuse, so after being persuaded like this, he just agreed.

Next, the three of them chatted for a while. Just when Zhao Ye was about to go to the next room to rest, he suddenly heard an inaudible cooing sound coming from his ears.

After careful identification, it was finally discovered that the sound came from Ding Qiunan's belly, which made Zhao Ye both funny and angry.

Ding Qiunan himself also realized something. For a moment, his face turned as red as an apple, and he defended quietly: "Since the afternoon, I feel like vomiting whenever I eat. I really don't have much appetite."

Zhao Ye naturally couldn't watch his wife go hungry, and said calmly: "This won't work. You are pregnant now, so you must not starve." "But she really can't eat!"

Seeing that Ding Qiunan was even using his coquettish skills, Zhao Ye had no choice but to coax in a consultative tone: "Do you think this is okay? I'll get you a bowl of noodles with clear soup and take a few bites of it?"

Ding Qiunan couldn't bear to offend her husband, and her mother kept nagging her, so she finally compromised and said, "Okay, okay, I can't eat it."

"That's pretty much it. Just wait, I'll be there soon."

As Zhao Ye said that, he got up and went to the outside kitchen. In less than a quarter of an hour, he brought over a bowl of fragrant egg noodles.

The smell reached Mother Ding's nose, and she couldn't help but sigh: "Xiaoye, who did you learn your cooking skills from? Just smelling it makes people's fingers twitch!"

Zhao Ye first put the bowl in front of Ding Qiunan, and only after watching her pick up her chopsticks to eat, he replied with a smile: "I used to have a recipe book at home, and I just blindly learned from it."

Ding's mother said: "This is not a blind study. In your father's words, with your skills, you can even be a chef in Diaoyutai."

"Dad, this award is too great. How can I dare to compete with other people's state banquet chefs?"

"Your dad really hasn't won any awards. You know, when he first returned to China, he was invited to have dinner at Diaoyutai as a talent returned from overseas. He probably wouldn't lie about this."

Seeing Mother Ding's expression full of pride when she said this, Zhao Ye pretended to be surprised and said: "Hey, I didn't expect Dad to have such an experience. When I see him another day, I must ask him for advice."

"What are you asking for? A good man is not brave in the past. No matter how prosperous he was in the past, he is still a bad old man now, and he is still a bad old man with nothing to do."

Zhao Ye didn't want to talk about this topic in depth, so he could only say dryly: "Both you and Dad, please be more open-minded. I believe there will be a day when the clouds clear up."

Mother Ding just sighed and said nothing more.

When Ding Qiunan, who was eating, saw this, he quickly started talking away to divert his mother's attention.

"Look at my brain. I was so preoccupied with talking that I almost forgot about what Rainwater asked me to do."

Zhao Ye was stunned for a moment and asked in confusion: "Yu Yu, has she come back?"

"Well, when I came home in the afternoon, she was already waiting in the yard."

"Then did she say anything to do with me?"

"That's not true. She just asked me to tell you that she will come to see you again after get off work tomorrow."

Seeing Zhao Ye frowning and saying nothing after hearing this, Ding Qiunan hesitated for a few seconds and finally expressed his guess: "Although Yu Yu didn't say it clearly, I guess she came here for He Yuzhu."

Zhao Ye was noncommittal: "What do you still have?"

Ding Qiunan thought that Zhao Ye didn't believe it, so he rubbed his nose and snorted softly: "You are looking down on people, right? Then listen carefully, because I saw Yuyu separated from me and entered the uncle's house."

Zhao Ye deliberately teased Ding Qiunan: "This alone is not enough to explain the problem, right?"

Ding Qiunan asked, "What if I tell you again that the deaf old lady and Silly Zhu are also waiting for her at the uncle's house?"

“That’s it with this.”

Zhao Ye nodded seriously and changed the subject: "Then I will test you again. What do you think the rain is specifically about?"

"Uh..." Ding Qiunan thought for a while and asked with some uncertainty: "Could it be for He Yuzhu's work?"

Zhao Ye said curiously: "Oh, that's amazing, our Qiu Nan has become smarter!"

Ding Qiunan quit, reached out and pinched Zhao Ye's arm, and said angrily: "Fuck you, I've been very smart since I was a child, okay, mom?"

Mother Ding rolled her eyes and said speechlessly: "You girl, you are really not ashamed, how can you boast about yourself? Isn't this Wang Po selling melons and boasting about herself?"

"Mom~ Why do you keep tearing me down?"

"Okay, okay, you are the smartest, right?"

After the joke, Ding Qiunan asked Zhao Ye again: "What are you going to do? Do you want to agree to the rain?"

Zhao Ye said without thinking: "I'm not that bad-hearted!"

"Are you afraid that it will be difficult to explain to the rain?"

Zhao Ye spread his hands and said matter-of-factly: "What do you want to explain? Helping others is a matter of affection, not helping others is a duty. If He Yuyu can't even figure out such a simple truth, then I think I know her in vain.

Besides, even if you want to help, it depends on who you are helping. As far as Silly Zhu’s virtue is concerned, do you think he will thank me if I help him? "

Ding Qiunan thought for a moment and gave a negative answer: "No."

"Not only that, but based on my understanding of Silly Zhu, this guy might even scold me afterwards! In that case, why should I do such a thankless thing? Isn't this a shame?"
