◎Little Bell◎

The two decided to have a baby, but neither of them made serious preparations. The philosophy they upheld was to let things go. It's good to have it, but it doesn't matter if it doesn't happen.

But quitting smoking and drinking is a must. This is responsible for the health of your future baby.

The process of quitting smoking is not easy. Some habits last for many years and it is not that easy to quit.

Shen Lie's addiction to cigarettes is not heavy, he only smokes one cigarette a day, but occasionally he gets addicted. At this time, Chen Jing'an can find good relief by asking someone to come over and kiss him.

So suddenly the number of kisses increased, and he used the excuse of helping to quit smoking, which sounded very legitimate.

Just one time when her lips were numb, Chen Jing'an would inevitably raise doubts. Is the addiction really so severe that she needs to be kissed seven or eight times a day? I haven't seen him smoke many times before.

Kissing doesn't matter, but sometimes kissing can easily lead to misfires. The two rest at home and spend most of their time in bed, which is really unreasonable.

But Shen Lie also has his own explanation for this matter. It's not about preparing for pregnancy. How can you get pregnant if you don't do it?

He then remembered to prepare for pregnancy, and Chen Jing'an told him about science. Women have an ovulation period every month, and they only ovulate once. If you are preparing for pregnancy, you can just calculate the time before doing it.

Shen Lie's answer was also very magnanimous: "I only do it once a month, you might as well kill me."

"..."

Because of work reasons, there will be social activities, cigarettes and alcohol are indispensable, Shen Lie declined them all. When asked why, he Yun Danfeng said lightly: "My wife doesn't like this smell."

If she tried to persuade her a little more, she would say, "I'm henpecked."

What he said was true. Most people were half-convinced. Some had never seen Chen Jing'an before. He had a classic temperament and was soft-spoken and taciturn. He was quiet most of the time. It was completely unimaginable that she would be angry, let alone make Shen Lie afraid.

But when it comes to this level, Shen Lie has never touched tobacco or alcohol again, and people around him rarely smoke. During that time, the smell of cigarette smoke on his body was so weak that it was almost gone.

On the day she found out she was pregnant, Chen Jing'an's always punctual aunt did not come to visit. After waiting for almost two weeks, she had a vague feeling. She bought a pregnancy test and took a test. She was a little dazed when she saw two lines. She touched her flat belly, never imagining that a life had been conceived here.

At that moment, I just felt that life was really magical.

Chen Jing'an took a photo and sent it to Shen Lie.

Shen Lie's reply was very calm. He asked "Are you ready?" and there was no further explanation. She could not see the excitement of being an expectant father, at least she didn't feel it at the time.

More than half an hour later, Shen Lie showed up directly to pick her up for a check-up at the hospital. He even drove a comfortable commercial vehicle. This time, he not only picked up his wife, but also their baby.

"Isn't it too exaggerated?" He even helped her into the car.

"I checked, and it was not stable in the first three months."

"..."

So in Shen Lie's eyes, she is extremely fragile now, and a sneeze can make him alert.

The two went to the hospital to register for a check-up and did various tests. Finally, the B-ultrasound showed that they were five weeks pregnant. They could see an obvious gestational sac, the size of a fingernail, and a small black shadow. It was hard to imagine that there was a little life inside. Start.

Chen Jing'an looked at Shen Lie. His jawline was tense. She asked, "How do you feel?"

"We have one more member in our household registration." Shen Lie's eyes were dark.

He wasn't sure he could be a good father.

He knew very little about this role, so he had to figure it out on his own from now on.

—After

three months of pregnancy and confirming that the baby was healthy and strong, the two of them conveyed the good news to those around them.

The happiest people were Chen's father and Chen's mother. Their first reaction was to settle in the capital so that they could take care of their daughter. Their savings plus the sale of their old house in their hometown were enough to buy a smaller house.

After Shen Lie found out, he directly bought a flat-floor apartment in a nearby community suitable for the elderly. It was fully decorated and furnished, and he could move in at any time. During the winter vacation, Chen's father and mother came to stay for a while.

Fortunately, the initial symptoms were not serious and there was almost no morning sickness. Apart from the bulging of the lower abdomen day by day, it was not too uncomfortable.

Even so, the people around her were still cautious and had done some homework. Even Ruan Ling consciously did not wear any perfume when she saw her, and said goodbye to hot pot and other heavy oil and salt foods when eating. In her words, Chen Jing'an was there In their eyes, he is no different from a national treasure, not to mention there is a little one in his belly.

Shen Lie was in charge of the food, and she only went out to eat a handful of times.

What to eat and how to eat is designed by a nutritionist based on her body to ensure a balanced nutritional balance.

Chen Jing'an told them that it didn't have to be like this, that she could jump and jump, and that she had more energy than before, but with little effect.

When her belly was like a small watermelon, Shen Lie began to apply pregnancy oil on her. The technique he was learning looked very professional at first glance. At least Chen Jing'an was frightened. She always felt that Shen Lie had done something amazing behind her back. Work. The technique is very professional, but there is no professionalism. The two of them have not done it since they were pregnant. They used to know no restraint, but now they live like an ascetic. When applying it with your hands on your white and tender belly, you will inevitably apply it to places that should not be applied.

If you can't eat, you can still quench your thirst by taking advantage of it, but not only does it not relieve the pain, but it makes it more uncomfortable. So most of the time, Chen Jing'an watched Shen Lie finish applying the pregnancy oil and go to the bathroom to take a shower with a sullen face.

Chen Jing'an felt comfortable both physically and mentally. She had never seen him so deflated before.

Sometimes, she was also very mean, relying on the little watermelon in her arms, rubbing her feet against his legs and arms, feeling the protruding veins on his arms, knowing that he was trying his best to endure it, and inadvertently called her husband.

Shen Lie could not fail to see Chen Jing'an's intentions. He kneaded the essential oil with his warm palms. His eyes were dark under his drooping eyelashes, but he smiled and said that there would be a day when the goods would be unloaded.

Chen Jing'an also knew that she would not be too happy at that time, but people had to live in the present, so she was even more unscrupulous and asked, is that right?

The end result wasn't very good.

If you can't do it, there is always another way.

Both her hands were used, and every finger seemed to be reorganized.

After this battle, Chen Jing'an became completely honest.

When I was a little older, my relatives and friends said that I could try prenatal education, listen to piano music, read some books, etc. The two new parents followed suit, and this responsibility was naturally handed over to Shen Lie.

Music is easy to talk about. My mother is a performer, and so are my uncles and aunts around me. It can be said that I have been influenced by music since I was a child.

As for studying and what to study, the choice is left to Shen Lie.

Shen Lie took the report document casually at the beginning. After reading it for a few minutes, Chen Jing'an heard a large number of professional terms, which was very hypnotic. She said funnyly: "Where has anyone been taught to read this early?"

Is it necessary to cultivate business talents from an early age?

She couldn't help but think of the paradoxical scene of a little kid who was only a few years old, working at his own desk with his father.

Finally changed to books.

Chen Jing'an raised her chin and asked, "Isn't it too profound?"

"Then read it to the mother," Shen Lie said.

When it comes to early childhood education, it can be said that both of them are very casual. Both of them have excellent genes, so there is no reason to give birth to a little idiot. Then I thought about it, it doesn't matter if I'm a little idiot, her parents will love her very much.

In the second trimester of pregnancy, it snowed in Beijing.

Outside the door was snow that had been matted at night, and the snow was white and crystal clear. Chen Jing'an was wrapped tightly before she was allowed to go out. She looked like a ball, holding a small round ball in her hand, stepping on the snow excitedly. In the clean snow, the footprints she had just left were clear.

"Mr. Shen, let's take pictures." She said, her eyes clearer than snow.

"Okay."

Shen Lie held up his mobile phone, the two people hugged each other, appeared in the screen, pressed the camera button, and the two people smiled and froze.

When it snows next year, it will be a photo of the three of us together.

—Since

I learned the good news about my pregnancy, relatives, friends and elders have sent me a lot of baby clothes and toys. I feel like the children’s room is not enough. There are some Lego blocks and the like. I don’t know how many years it will take before I can start playing with them. One day I got curious. , Chen Jing'an secretly played with one and then got out of hand.

One of them was a castle, which she spent many days failing to complete, and tended to work overtime.

In the end, Shen Lie came over to rescue him and sent him to bed to rest.

Chen Jing'an suffered from insomnia in the middle of the night. When he heard the people around him breathing evenly, he carefully opened the quilt and left the room, then plunged into the children's room.

Shen Lie woke up without touching anyone on the bed, opened the door, and his tall figure leaned against the door frame with a helpless expression. Facing his wife's belated rebellious phase, he took out his mobile phone and prepared to take a photo and send it to the group, please Education from two elders.

"No, I'm going to bed now!" Of course Chen Jing'an didn't want to be a mother and have to be talked about by her parents.

Shen Lie smiled and asked, "Promise you won't get up to play again?"

"..."

Well, it's hard to guarantee.

"Forget it, I'll make an exception today. I'll accompany you no matter what." Shen Lie came over and sat down next to her.

Two people are twice as efficient.

The castle was completed, almost as high as her legs, and she felt an overwhelming sense of accomplishment.

After admiring them side by side for a while, Chen Jing'an thought of the baby in her belly and asked with guilt: "What if the baby knows that I secretly played with her toys?"

Shen Lie turned his head to look at her, holding her hand with a gentle smile. He held his hand and said, "There's no way."

"You know, the baby's mother is still a baby."

Hey.

Chen Jing'an couldn't help but blush and urged him to go to bed quickly.

—Two

days before the due date, Chen Jing'an began to be hospitalized, waiting for the baby to arrive.

The entire pregnancy went smoothly, and the baby was very healthy during the checkup. She and Shen Lie attended class on time and had sufficient knowledge, but the parents were nervous. Both mothers had experienced it, and they knew that the birth process was hard, and they were extremely nervous. No, Chen Jing'an comforted them in turn.

The parents wanted to stay in the hospital to take care of them, but after all they were old, so Shen Lie arranged for them to rest in a hotel near the hospital. He stayed in the ward to take care of them, notifying them of any news as soon as possible, and the same would happen if they came over again. He arranged it well and his parents had no objections.

Chen Jing'an was lying on the bed, feeling nothing for the time being.

Shen Lie sat beside the hospital bed and gave her fruit and water. When she was hungry, he could conjure up whatever she wanted to eat. He was always methodical and made her feel very stable, as if everything was going according to plan. She only had to be responsible for unloading the goods. Don't worry, he will take care of everything.

She thought he had always been calm and rational.

Until she woke up at night, Shen Lie was still sitting beside her bed, leaning forward. He was close to her swollen belly, and he was talking a lot. His words were like chanting sutras. His voice was so low that she couldn't hear it clearly. Only some words could be heard intermittently.

Let the baby be more obedient, it seems to be reasonable, don't bother, come out earlier, and you will be beaten less in the future...

Chen Jing'an couldn't help but laugh after hearing this.

She asked: "Are you trying to make the baby faint?"

Shen Lie's eyes were red, as if they were all red after a long night. He couldn't even smile, and his tone was like a sigh: "I hope she will be more sensible." "

Maybe the baby really heard it. Chen Jing'an felt it at midnight and informed the doctor before pushing him into the delivery room. The whole process went smoothly. Not long after, the baby was born and came into the world. The first cry.

"It's a little princess."

The newly-born little princess was wrinkled and was still a pink dumpling. The two novice parents looked at the elders and said to the wrinkled little princess, her eyebrows are like her father's and her mouth is like Mom and other words, confused whether there is something wrong with my eyes.

After Chen Jing'an was hospitalized for two days, she was transferred to a confinement center that had been booked.

The little princess was born at six pounds and a half, and was a very healthy baby within the standard weight. During the month in the confinement center, her wrinkled skin opened up and gradually turned from pink to pink. The little glutinous rice balls had clearer eyebrows and bigger eyes. At this time, Lin Moru took out the baby photo of Shen Lie. In comparison, it was a complete replica.

As for what to call it, I racked my brains and came up with a dozen names.

Finally, the little princess was named by Chen Jing'an and Shen Qingning. He wished her a happy and peaceful life. The nickname was Xiao Ling Dang because she cried loudly, which was very appropriate.

Xiao Lingdang has a calm personality and won't cry most of the time, but her voice will be loud when she cries. The confinement sister-in-law said with a smile that Xiao Lingdang is the baby with the brightest voice she has ever seen, and he must be gifted with a soprano.

Shen Lie was also working when he was accompanying the child.

Chen Jing'an had seen the scene of Shen Lie holding the child. His limbs were stiff and his expression was frozen. The father and daughter looked at each other. The word "unfamiliar" was written on both their faces. She couldn't help but laugh. What, there was no warmth at all. picture.

Most of the time, Shen Lie would accompany Chen Jing'an. He would carefully lift off her clothes and see her belly after unloading, where a little life had been conceived. He would ask her about the changes in her body to make sure there were no sequelae, and would check if there were any. There was no swelling. After seeing Chen Jing'an breastfeeding Xiao Ling Dang for the first time, it was so painful that she shed tears, and she would ask for milk powder feeding... He took good care of her, so much so that she often asked him to check on Xiao Ling Dang.

She looks the same every day, which is interesting.

"The confinement sister-in-law will take good care of the little bell, and I will take care of you."

The two of them touched their foreheads and kissed naturally. He sucked her lips with extreme tenderness, wanting a kind of comfort that would take away all the hardships she had experienced during childbirth. Even though it was impossible, he could only make up for it in his daily life.

After little Lingdang turned six months old, Chen Jingan became too bored and strongly requested to resume work and return to the group. The group even held a return welcome party. With everyone taking care of her, she quickly started working normally.

After returning to work, Chen Jing'an performed in various places. Strictly speaking, Shen Lie spent more time with Xiao Lingdang than she did. Xiao Lingdang was originally a carbon copy of Shen Lie. Under the influence, her personality became more and more similar. To put it mildly, she was a bit precocious. To put it bluntly, she is a tsundere, serious on the surface, but actually cute as hell.

Xiao Lingdang was taken to Shen Lie's office when she was very young. She had an inexplicable admiration for her father. Specifically, she was curious about everything Shen Lie did and wanted to imitate it. However, due to age restrictions, she often failed to do so. Things are inexplicably cute.

For example, I was very curious about what was in Shen Lie’s cup.

Once, unable to suppress his curiosity, Xiao Lingdang lay on Shen Lie's long legs, stretched out his little finger and asked, "What?"

"Coffee." Shen Lie glanced at Xiao Lingdang, who was not even taller than his calf. When she lay over, He also needs to deliberately lower his legs.

"Delicious?"

"Yeah."

Little Bell poked the corner of her mouth again and stared at the cup, feeling an inexplicable desire for the contents in the cup.

Shen Lie said: "It's very bitter."

"I'm not afraid of hardship." Xiao Lingdang shook her head, her dark eyes full of innocence.

Shen Lie pulled his lips and smiled lightly, and said: "Okay, you are allowed to taste a little, but you can only drink a little."

"Ah!"

The little bell rang, and he stood up and clenched his fists excitedly: "I like it, Dad!"

The coffee is American style. , Shen Lie is holding it, the rim of the cup is slightly tilted, the little bell approaches with great solemnity, eyes wide open, almost holding his breath as he approaches, his small mouth carefully touches the rim of the cup, and the tip of his tongue tastes something that she cannot describe in her two years of life. It was so painful that she clenched her two chubby hands and twisted her facial features together. She couldn't believe that her father drank this kind of thing every day.

Shen Lie held her back with one hand and rested his other elbow on the desk, cupping his chin and admiring his daughter's expression.

"Does it taste good?" he asked.

Little Lingdang pursed her lips and bared her teeth. Several times she tried to say it tasted good, but was defeated by the remaining bitter taste. With a complicated expression that was inappropriate for her age, she nodded stiffly and was about to cry. Tears welled up in her eyes. .

Shen Lie asked again: "Drink a little more?"

The bitter taste spread again, and he pursed his lips, feeling inexplicably aggrieved, and shook his head with a flat mouth.

Shen Lie smiled happily and gained wisdom. At least in a short time, she would no longer be curious about what he drank. He touched his daughter's soft hair and said, "Don't tell mom about this, okay?" ?”

“Why?” Xiao Lingdang still felt sad.

"...because this is our secret."

The light appeared in Xiao Lingdang's eyes again, and she nodded solemnly: "Don't worry, Dad!"

When she got home, Xiao Lingdang was so happy to see her mother. She liked to smell her mother's scent and jumped at her. She took a deep breath, raised her soft little face, and proudly announced that she and her father had a secret.

"What secret?" Chen Jing'an asked funny.

Xiao Lingdang shook her head mysteriously: "Dad said, you can't tell mom!"

Chen Jing'an raised her eyes and met Shen Lie, who had been "betrayed" when they got home. She smiled: "Mr. Shen, let's talk later?"
