Chapter 446 Hello, I am your father
Because of such a conflicted mood, He Shu was a little distracted the whole night.
He suddenly understood what it meant to make a choice, and it was really difficult.
On one side is the child he has been longing for and his beloved wife. If he is not with her during childbirth, it will be a lifelong regret.
On the other hand, it was his long-cherished dream. In order to be able to participate in that project, he devoted himself wholeheartedly in the past few months and slept less than five hours a day.
Now his efforts have paid off, and the National Defense Research Institute has hired him ahead of schedule, but Xia Miao is about to give birth...
He Shu didn't make a decision until he returned to the room and lay down with Xia Miao to talk.
"Honey, the baby kicked me, please touch it."
Xia Miao suddenly grabbed He Shu's hand and placed it on her stomach.
When he felt that touch, He Shu sat up, lifted Xia Miao's nightgown and saw that her bulging belly bulged out from time to time.
It was very slight, but He Shu still smiled unconsciously and touched it with his hand again.
"The baby must know that daddy is back. He is very excited today and keeps moving." Xia Miao looked at He Shu with a happy face.
He Shu gently put his face against it, and I don't know if it was a little hand or a little foot that pushed him. It was really magical.
"Say something to the baby, let him hear your voice."
"Speak..." He Shu hesitated, what should he say?
After thinking for a long time and seeing that there was no movement in the stomach, He Shu quickly said to Xia Miao's stomach: "Hello, I am your father."
"Pfft..." Xia Miao held her belly and laughed non-stop: "You are a very polite father."
“Hehe…” He Shu also laughed foolishly.
"Honey, should we prepare to name the baby?"
He Shu asked curiously, "Are you going to name the baby so early? We don't even know if it's a boy or a girl?"
"Then prepare one for each of us. I hope you'll choose the baby's name. What if you're not around when the baby is born?"
The due date is still a month away. Indeed, if He Shu decides to join the company, he will definitely not be at home.
Thinking of this, He Shu's smile gradually faded, and Xia Miao reached out and grabbed his hand: "Do you still have to go back? How long will it take you to come back this time?"
Xia Miao always felt that she seemed to be able to sense what He Shu was thinking.
He Shu was very happy that she was pregnant, but at the same time, he was also worried.
Xia Miao felt that this child came at the right time. He Shu would probably be even busier in the future, and their chances of having a child would be even slimmer.
"Actually, I have good news to tell you when I come back this time."
"What good news?" Xia Miao looked expectant.
He Shu hesitated for a moment and said, "I have been hired by the Institute of Science and Technology Innovation and will be able to officially start work after the new year."
"Really? That's the Institute for Advanced Studies, but you haven't graduated yet..."
Xia Miao suddenly clapped her hands and realized, "Did your research yield any results in the past few months?"
"That's about right."
Xia Miao smiled and said, "That's a good thing. Why didn't you tell me about it when we were having dinner just now?"
He Shu remained silent, and Xia Miao asked again: "Is it because of me? Are you worried about me having a baby?"
Seeing this, Xia Miao pulled his hand and said, "It's okay, aunt. My mother often comes to take care of me. When you are not at home, I will live with my grandfather. It is very safe."
"By the way, my godfather also bought me a lot of delicious food. When I give birth, I won't be short of people around me. Just do whatever you want."
He Shu reached out and touched Xia Miao's belly, shaking his head gently.
"The opportunity is indeed rare, but I think I would regret it if I wasn't by your side at that time."
He finally made up his mind that nothing was more important in his life than his family and loved ones.
He lay down beside Xia Miao and hugged her: "Let's talk about it after you give birth to the baby. It's just a job. I'm still young and there will be many opportunities in the future."
Xia Miao didn't think much of He Shu's behavior, but she was very touched that He Shu might give up his favorite job for her.
"It really doesn't matter. Just do whatever you want to do. Giving birth is something every woman has to go through. I'm not that squeamish."
He Shu turned sideways and gently stroked Xia Miao's belly. He had just seen that because of pregnancy, Xia Miao had stretch marks on her belly.
A girl truly becomes a woman after giving birth, and the price she pays is more than just physical changes.
And what has the man given? As for earning money to support the family? He Shu currently does not earn as much as Xia Miao, and Xia Miao can still live well without him.
It is said that having a child is a matter for two people, but after all, it is a woman who is pregnant for ten months, and he cannot .
Moreover, He Shu knew that given the path he had chosen and the nature of his future work, he would probably not be able to spend much time at home.
Unless he doesn't want to work for a place like the National Research Institute, he can find a job as a senior technician in a private or foreign company, where he can get both a high salary and vacation time.
But that is not what He Shu pursues. He hopes that the intelligent technology he studies can be invested in the national system and armed to the military for practical use.
Just like the practical equipment of Panda’s special forces, it can ensure personnel safety as much as possible and maximize effectiveness.
This is He Shu’s ideal and his original intention.
"Xia Miao, you can be a little more delicate and don't always think about everything for me. In fact, I hope you can rely on me very much instead of losing yourself."
He raised his hand and touched Xia Miao's face: "Over the years, you have always been the one taking the initiative and making sacrifices. Perhaps in the future, there will be many things that will make you feel wronged."
"But I hope you can tell me clearly when you feel dissatisfied, and show me what you want in your heart, even if it means forcing me to do what you want me to do."
"I don't want you to just love me, love without your own soul..."
If only his mother had loved him a little more and not put all her affection on his father.
Then when her father betrayed her and left, she wouldn't feel hopeless.
He Shu doesn't want Xia Miao to live like his mother Qi Yue.
In fact, when it comes down to it, He Shu has always been a pessimist when it comes to marriage.
But the other party was Xia Miao, who gave him confidence in married life.
This feeling was very strange. He clearly didn't believe that anyone could love each other for a lifetime, but he trusted very much that Xia Miao could live with him for a lifetime.
"You don't want to embarrass me, and I don't want to let you be wronged. The child belongs to both of us, how can I let you face it alone?"
He Shu cast his eyes on Xia Miao's belly: "I am also looking forward to this little guy. This is our first child, and may be our only child. I must be there on the day he is born..."
Xia Miao leaned towards He Shu with tears in her eyes. Her body, which was over eight months old, was already a little clumsy.
He Shu knew what she wanted to do, so he took the initiative to move over and hold Xia Miao's head in his arms.
"Wife, thank you for your hard work..."
