For a moment, the ward was quiet. Zhiyuan sat by the bed, looking at Lin Qingping's belly. He didn't know where to put his hands. He asked carefully, "Mom, does it hurt?"

Lin Qingping smiled slightly, "It doesn't hurt, really, it doesn't hurt at all now."

Zhiyuan nodded, but the nervousness on his little face did not change at all.

Lin Qingping smiled softly and said, "Zhiyuan, from now on, there will be four people in our family."

She spoke these words in a soft voice, making her seem gentle and warm.

Zhiyuan was stunned at first, but then he thought, these four people, including him...

At that moment, his heart felt so warm that even his eyes were hot.

He nodded vigorously, "Yes, Mom!"

Lin Qingping reached out and gently wiped away the dirt on his face that had been rubbed off from somewhere due to the day's rush, and said with a smile, "You are going to be a brother."

"Mom..." Zhiyuan choked, "I'm so happy."

The mother and son were talking in low voices, it was very heartwarming, but on the island, the situation was quite different.

Fang Tuan did not go on this mission.

In the evening, when Fang Tuan returned home, he found his son sitting on the steps in front of the house, staring at the door motionlessly.

"Fang Yi! What are you doing sitting here?" And he was sitting on the ground. Later his mother would scold him for being unhygienic.

Fang Yi didn't say anything, his eyes were red, as if he had been crying. In fact, he had been sitting here for most of the day. He had been sitting here ever since Aunt Lin from next door was carried away and his mother took him home.

Fang Tuan noticed that his son had been crying, looked inside the house, squatted down and asked him in a low voice, "Did your mother scold you again?"

When Fang Yi heard this, the tears in his eyes immediately fell. He really hoped that what happened today was just his mother scolding him.

"What's wrong? Speak! Tell daddy, I will plead for you." Fang Tuan coaxed his son.

Fang Yi grabbed his father's hand, tears already on his face, "Dad, how long does it take to get from the island to the outside by boat?"

Fang Yi was not yet of school age and could not even count.

"Why are you asking this?" Fang Tuan was a little confused. Could it be that this kid wanted to sneak out of the island again?

"Then..." Fang Yi thought for a moment and changed the question, "How long has it been since before lunch?"

"Fang Yi, what exactly do you want to do?" Fang Tuan was confused by his son's question.

Fang Yi lowered his head and stopped asking.

In fact, he probably knew it.

In the past, when I asked for leave from Zhiyuan and ran out of the island, I would leave without eating lunch so that I could come back before Dad got off work. But now, Dad has already got off work, why haven’t Aunt Lin and Zhiyuan come back yet?

He had been sitting here, just waiting for them to come back.

But he didn't dare tell his father, for fear that his parents would quarrel again...

Fang Tuan couldn't get any information from his son, so he went into the house to ask Shu Xiaowen.

As soon as he entered the door, he felt something was wrong. Shu Xiaowen actually took the initiative to come up to him and greet him today, and even smiled at him.

"What happened today?" he asked directly.

Shu Xiaowen's smile froze for a moment, then turned into an even brighter smile, "What could it be?"

After saying that, he glared at me, "What do you mean? Just because I treat you well, you become suspicious of this and that? You deserve to be treated harshly!"

Fang Tuan: …

Having said that, he still felt something was wrong.

"Let's eat. We've been waiting for you to get off work. The meal is ready." Shu Xiaowen shouted outside, "Xiaoyi, come in and eat!"

Fang Yi didn't move.

"Fang Yi?" Fang Tuan called out, but his son seemed not to have heard him and he walked out again.

Fang Yi indeed didn't hear it, because all his attention was on the road leading to the family quarters. At this moment, several figures were walking towards this side, tall and short, and they looked like adults and children walking together.

There are only so many children on the island, and he thinks it must be Brother Zhiyuan and the others!

He was extremely anxious but couldn't shout loudly, so he simply stood up and ran towards them.

However, halfway through the run, he suddenly thought, maybe they don't like him?

Thinking of this, he felt sad again. In the past, he had a great time with Brother Zhiyuan and Brother Chen Lei...

But he couldn't ignore his mother's words. She said it was for his own good...

Fang Yi stopped halfway through his run. Fang Tuan, who was behind him, saw his son suddenly start running wildly and started to chase after him, just in time to catch up with him.

"Fang Yi, it's time for dinner, where are you going?" Fang Tuan asked while holding his son.

In front, Ding Yurong and Gong Xiaomei came back with a few children, and Dr. Yang was beside them.

Fang Yi looked at them one by one, and after looking twice, he did not see Lin Qingping.

Fang Yi’s little face turned pale.

Fang Tuan was still greeting them. When everyone walked up to him, Fang Yi suddenly rushed out and grabbed Dr. Yang's hand. He was choking and couldn't speak clearly, "Auntie Lin...Auntie Lin..."

"Comrade Lin is in the hospital for observation and will be back in a few days." Doctor Yang said to Fang Yi.

Fang Yi was stunned.

Hospitalized? Back?

That means Aunt Lin is not dead!

Fang Yi burst into tears.

Great! Aunt Lin is not dead! Great!

When I went back to my hometown with my dad, I heard my grandma talk about someone who died of stomach pain after failing to give birth to a baby...

It’s great that Aunt Lin is not dead!

However, this sudden change completely confused Fang Tuan. What was going on?

"What's wrong with Comrade Lin?" Fang Tuan asked Doctor Yang.

"Oh, Comrade Lin is pregnant." Doctor Yang knew what had happened, but it was not easy to tell Fang Tuan about it!

The others didn't know what to say, so they went home and headed to Lin Qingping's house. They had to pack some things and take them there early the next morning.

Fang Tuan was even more confused. Isn't it a good thing that Comrade Lin is pregnant? Why is he acting so strange? Also, why is his own son crying?

"Fang Yi? What's going on?" Fang Tuan frowned and asked his son.

Fang Yi just cried and said nothing.

Fang Tuan connected everything that had just happened and immediately thought that this matter might be related to Shu Xiaowen.

He took Fang Yi's hand and walked back immediately.

In fact, Shu Xiaowen has been paying attention to what is happening outside.

She saw Fang Yi and Fang Tuan running out, and watched them talking to Dr. Yang and others, but she couldn't hear what they were saying. When she saw Fang Tuan coming back with a stern face, her heart suddenly tightened.

"Shu Xiaowen!" Fang Tuan's tone was very bad when he entered the house.

Shu Xiaowen knew that she was doomed. Those people must have complained to Fang Tuan. She immediately defended herself, "How did I know she was pregnant? I didn't do it on purpose!"

Well, the problem really lies with her...

He hasn't asked anything yet!

"Dad... Dad, please don't scold... Mom, it's all my fault... It's my fault!" Fang Yi, who was already crying, started to hiccup.
