Chapter 273: Cannon Fodder Extra 2
*
Old man Xu Changrong has always been upset about not being able to witness the wedding of Xu Xingzhou and Yun Wu.
Now that the couple have moved to the county town, the old man proposed to hold a grand wedding banquet.
He had to let everyone in the military district know that his grandson had started a family.
Xu Xingzhou and Yun Wu did not refuse. The old man liked to be glorious when he got older, so they just went along with him.
As a result, during the wedding banquet that day, Yun Wu was a little tired from dealing with so many guests and felt a little unwell.
Xu Xingzhou immediately left behind all the military leaders and drove Yun Wu to a nearby hospital. Xu Changrong stayed at the wedding banquet to entertain other guests.
Inside the county hospital, Xu Xingzhou frowned and had a sullen look on his face. He had been quite happy at the wedding banquet, but now his mood immediately dropped.
He held Yun Wu's shoulders tightly with one hand and held her fair hand soothingly.
Xu Xingzhou was worried, worried that something might happen...
However, the doctor told him that it was because Yun Wu was pregnant, and if she was tired she would feel uncomfortable, so she needed to rest well.
Xu Xingzhou immediately drove Yun Wu home, and Xu Changrong also rushed over when he heard the news.
"Hahahaha! I didn't expect that an old man like me could see my great-grandson before I'm buried!"
Xu Changrong laughed loudly towards the sky and raised his hand to pat Xu Xingzhou's shoulder hard.
Yun Wu felt pain when she heard the sound, but Xu Xingzhou acted as if nothing had happened.
He seemed to be used to the old man's quick-tempered temper.
Yun Wu sat on the soft and comfortable sofa, lowered her head and took a sip of the tonic soup that Xu Xingzhou fed her.
Xu Changrong was walking around with a cane, smiling happily, and still mumbling:
"How about bringing Xiao Wu to live in the military compound? It will be convenient for you to take care of her during your commute. You also need to buy her supplements, don't forget! Xiao Wu is weak, it would be bad if she gets even more uncomfortable because of pregnancy!"
"Grandpa, I have to explain something to you."
Xu Xingzhou said this while feeding Yun Wu nourishing soup, his brows showing more seriousness and earnestness.
"We don't know whether Awu is pregnant with a boy or a girl yet. If it's a girl, you can't be like other elders in the family and favor boys over girls."
Xu Xingzhou had seen too many examples of favoring boys over girls, so he wanted to make it clear with Xu Changrong in advance.
Like Yun Wu, he also had expectations for their unborn child, it didn't matter whether it was a son or a daughter.
"Humph, when did I ever favor boys over girls?"
Xu Changrong became unhappy when he heard this, and wanted to beat Xu Xingzhou up with his crutches.
But thinking that Yun Wu had just become pregnant and was still sitting next to him, he was afraid of scaring his granddaughter-in-law, so he could only tap the ground twice with his crutch, neither lightly nor heavily.
"If I have a great-grandson, I will train him to be a soldier who defends our country, just like your parents. If I have a great-granddaughter, I will send her to school to learn culture and raise her like the apple of my eye."
Xu Changrong said that he had already thought about his great-grandson's future, and his daughter must be raised in wealth so that she would not be deceived physically and mentally by the little benefits given by others.
"Grandpa, it's only been a month..."
Yun Wu had a helpless smile on her face, and then she touched her abdomen with gentle eyes.
"Besides, I hope my child can learn whatever he is interested in. Otherwise, if he learns boating again, he will run away from home if he is pushed too far."
"Don't worry too much, old man. It's still early. Let's talk about it later."
Xu Xingzhou turned to Xu Changrong and said, Xu Changrong was also an old man with a very open mind, and he immediately agreed with a smile.
As long as they don't kill or burn anything, or do anything that would let down their parents, his great-grandchildren can do whatever they want.
After Yun Wu became pregnant, Xu Xingzhou seemed to be even busier. Fortunately, he was not busy at work during this period. He would come back at noon to cook for Yun Wu and then take a nap with her.
Before she got pregnant, Xu Xingzhou didn't let her do any housework. Now that she was pregnant, he was even more afraid that something might happen to her, so he mopped the floor while she was sleeping, and the floor would be dry when she woke up.
When Xu Xingzhou was working, if Yun Wu wanted to go out, she would be accompanied by Yun Qingshan or Tong Hui.
For example, when she was five months pregnant, Yun Wu felt uncomfortable staying at home, so she went out to go shopping and buy clothes.
Tong Hui drove Yun Wu to the department store. She had to carefully support Yun Wu so that she could feel at ease. The shopping bags and other things were also carried by Tong Hui.
"You are too pregnant now, you can't lift anything. I'm worried even if it's light."
Tong Hui said, she was holding three or four shopping bags in one hand and carefully holding Yun Wu's hand with the other.
Yun Wu was wearing a loose knitted skirt, a thick coat, and a beige scarf around her neck. She was dressed warmly.
"Don't worry, sister-in-law. I'm in good health. Xingzhou doesn't let me do anything. My appetite has improved a lot during this period."
"That's good. When your brother has a day off in a couple of days, we'll go visit you and Xingzhou. Sister-in-law will make you something delicious."
Tong Hui turned around and said to Yun Wu with a smile, and the two of them walked out of the department store talking and laughing.
As a result, just a few steps out, I heard a few familiar voices, but they were very sharp and harsh.
"I grew all these vegetables myself, and you've peeled off so many leaves, and you're still not willing to give me more money!"
Yun Wu and Tong Hui turned their heads together and saw a woman selling vegetables on the roadside arguing with an old lady who was buying vegetables.
"How dare you say that? The leaves outside this vegetable are all rotten. Can't I remove the rotten leaves before I pay for it?"
The old lady was unwilling to be bullied, and immediately started arguing with the woman.
Yun Wu felt that the vegetable-selling woman looked familiar. She was wearing winter clothes that were washed so much that they looked bleached, and her skin was sallow and dry.
"It's Tong Xiaoyun."
Tong Hui said this to her, and Yun Wu then remembered why she felt that woman looked familiar. It turned out that the woman was Tong Xiaoyun.
But the change was so great that she could only vaguely recognize that it was indeed her.
The old lady cursed and gave Tong Xiaoyun some more money. She immediately put the money greedily into her pocket. Then she looked up and saw two familiar people standing at the door of the department store not far away.
It’s Tong Hui and Yun Wu.
Tong Xiaoyun looked at Yun Wu, who was wearing bright and beautiful winter clothes, and her eyes fell on her bulging belly.
She gritted her teeth, pretended not to know them, packed up her basket and left quickly.
Yun Wu was too lazy to pay attention to her because Xu Xingzhou's car had already stopped in front of her and Tong Hui.
Tong Hui went back to her own shop, and Yun Wu got into Xu Xingzhou's car.
As soon as she got in the car, Xu Xingzhou stuffed a hot water bottle into her hands to warm them. The weather was still cold, and Yun Wu's hands became cold after being out for a while.
"Let's not cook tonight, let's go eat hot pot."
Xu Xingzhou said, then came over, held Yun Wu's face and kissed her soft lips several times.
Yun Wu was very happy because since winter she had become particularly fond of hot pot, especially meat.
She originally wanted to nickname her unborn child Hotpot, but it was only after Xu Xingzhou persuaded her several times that she gave up.
Because Xu Xingzhou said that hotpot sounds warm in winter, but it sounds too hot in summer.
