Extra Chapter 21: There are both surprises and accidents
Chen Jianghe was shocked.
Even though Jiang Yishu had a delayed period before and suspected she was pregnant but ultimately didn’t get pregnant…
When Chen Jianghe heard Xu Zhixi say that her period had not come this month and that if it didn't come next week, she would ask him to accompany her to the maternal and child health care center for a check-up, his heart was still beating wildly and he couldn't hide his excitement between his brows.
"Don't get excited or scared, it might just be a normal delay in your period."
Seeing Chen Jianghe unable to hold chopsticks like a fool, Xu Zhixi said hurriedly, "I tested it with a test strip this morning, and it was one line... However, I always feel nauseous and retching when I wake up in the morning these few days, and I want to eat sour food, which is quite strange."
"Pregnancy tests may not be accurate."
Chen Jianghe said, "Let's not wait until next week. Let's go to the Provincial Women and Children's Hospital after dinner."
"No." Xu Zhixi rarely showed nervousness in front of Chen Jianghe, and her breathing was a little rapid: "To be honest... I'm a little nervous, I want to take it easy. If my period hasn't come next week, you can accompany me to the hospital, okay?"
"Okay, I'll listen to you." Chen Jianghe nodded in agreement, and couldn't help but reach out and hold Teacher Xu's hand, interlocking their fingers very tightly.
After lunch, Chen Jianghe wanted to hug Teacher Xu and take a nap, but the phone in his pocket kept vibrating.
"You go and do your work. I'll sleep by myself."
Xu Zhixi gently pushed Chen Jianghe away.
Chen Jianghe bent down and kissed her on the cheek, then stood up and went downstairs. He took out his cell phone and looked at it. There were four missed calls. The first three were from schoolmate Yi, and the last one was from sister Xiaoting.
Chen Jianghe called Xuemei Yi back first.
Yi Caiwei answered the phone quickly, her voice as soft and sticky as always, but revealing an inexplicable sense of embarrassment and nervousness: "Senior, I, I just came out of the hospital."
"What's wrong? Are you sick?"
Chen Jianghe said in a gentle tone with concern that the winters in the north are dry and cold, and it is normal for people from the south to occasionally suffer from acclimatization problems there and get sick and go to the hospital.
Unexpectedly, just as he finished speaking, Ye Xiaoting's excited voice came from the other end of the phone: "Mr. Chen, congratulations, you are going to be a father!"
"ah?"
Chen Jianghe froze in place for a moment, his mouth open, eyes wide open, and in an extremely rare moment his brain short-circuited for several seconds.
During the last trip to the capital, Yi Xuemei gave him her virginity, and she didn't take any measures at the time...
The school girl is already in her prime, and her menstruation is regular, heavy, and healthy, and her main attraction is “easy pregnancy”.
Coming back to his senses, listening to the nervous breathing of schoolgirl Yi, Chen Jianghe suppressed the throbbing in his heart and said, "Tell Sister Xiaoting to step aside first."
"Oh oh." Yi Caiwei nodded repeatedly, but did not let Ye Xiaoting avoid it. Instead, she walked to a secluded corner by herself.
After a while, Chen Jianghe asked her, "Are you worried that I will ask you to abort the baby?"
"No." Yi Caiwei bit her lip and said, "I have just thought it through. After all... I took the initiative. Since the senior didn't have a good impression of me, the pregnancy is an accident that I should bear on my own."
"Who said I don't like you?"
Chen Jianghe didn't know whether to laugh or cry when he heard Yi Caiwei's self-narration. After thinking for a while, he said a few words from the bottom of his heart:
"In fact, I have always had a good impression of you, but the situation is a little complicated. It can't be said that I fell in love at first sight, nor can it be said that I fell in love over time. In short, in short, I have dreamed of you many times, and I lust for your body..."
"Really?" Yi Caiwei was confused.
Chen Jianghe said: "Of course it is true. Dreams are out of control. Now you have my child. The things in the dream have become reality."
"Listen to me, don't let your imagination run wild, take good care of yourself, I'll go to Beijing to pick you up tomorrow."
Chen Jianghe warned very seriously.
Yi Caiwei was secretly wiping her tears and about to cry on the other end of the phone, but after hearing what Senior Chen said, her mood suddenly brightened up. She cried and laughed at the same time, like a silly girl.
After Chen Jianghe hung up the phone, he took a few deep breaths, but his heart was still unsettled.
It is difficult to be fair when it comes to emotional matters.
Chen Jianghe knew it better than anyone else. Compared to Xuemei Yi, he obviously preferred Teacher Xu, the secretary and Yishu.
But when it comes to having children, he tends to treat everyone equally.
The palms and backs of your hands are all made of flesh, so you cannot favor one over the other.
Thinking of this, Chen Jianghe simply booked a plane ticket and took a flight directly to Capital International Airport at around 3:00 p.m.
The next morning, he flew from Beijing to Guangzhou with Yi Caiwei. After a short rest in the airport VIP lounge, they returned to their hometown in Dongguan.
"The fourth one..."
Zheng Lihua had a phone call with Chen Jianghe a while ago, and he had already told her in advance that he wanted to take the girl home. At the beginning, he verbally said that they were business partners. But when she walked in today, Zheng Lihua had an idea in her mind and quietly looked at the chicken coop in the backyard.
At the beginning of the year, the family raised twelve chickens. Unfortunately, last month, five of them were taken away by the neighbor's dog one after another, and all of them were killed. There are only seven left. Zheng Lihua watches them closely every morning and evening, and raises them like treasures. When Xiao Yi came to visit for the first time, stewing a chicken for her was the Chen family's usual "guest hospitality" etiquette.
"Where is Xiao Yi from?"
Chen Jianguo asked with a gentle smile, holding a thermos cup in his hand.
Yi Caiwei also responded with a smile: "My hometown is Shaoxing."
"Oh." Chen Jianguo said "oh" twice and nodded, "Shaoxing is good. The rice wine there is very famous. The great writer Lu Xun seems to be from Shaoxing."
“Is the famous Wuzhen on TV in Shaoxing?”
Zheng Lihua, who came out with a chicken in her hand, replied with a smile.
"Wuzhen is in Jiaxing." Chen Jianghe corrected while reaching out to touch the beautiful free-range chicken in his mother's hand to calm it down.
Zheng Lihua smiled when she heard this: "Look at my memory. I just watched the travel introduction on TV a few days ago."
Chen Jianghe said, "Mom, next time you see Wuzhen, think of my aunt's name and you will remember it."
"Oh, yes, Jiaxing, Jiaxin, Zheng Jiaxin."
Zheng Lihua smiled and silently repeated it several times, then turned to look at Lao Chen: "Brother Guo, please help me."
"Okay."
Chen Jianguo nodded in agreement, and then skillfully helped his wife with the process.
Chen Jianghe took Yi Caiwei upstairs to rest.
Following Chen Jianghe into the room, Yi Caiwei said, "Uncle and aunt are really nice people."
"What uncle and aunt? Once you enter the door, you are a family."
Chen Jianghe took out a thick red envelope from his pocket, held her hand and placed it in his palm: "This is given to you by your parents."
Yi Caiwei put away the red envelope solemnly, looked up at Chen Jianghe, thought for a moment and said, "When you are free someday, come home with me, too?"
"Sure." Chen Jianghe agreed readily, and by the way, he asked in advance what his father-in-law and mother-in-law did for a living and whether there were any brothers or sisters in the family.
Yi Caiwei said: "My father works in the customs and my mother works in the tax bureau."
"Oh." Chen Jianghe nodded. Yi Caiwei's family situation is similar to Jiang Yishu's.
The family background of students with artistic talents should not be too bad. However, Chen Jianghe saw that Yi Xuemei was quite simple in her daily life. She could accept standing for dozens of hours on a train from Guangzhou to Beijing. Her parents should be just ordinary civil servants.
Since he had asked, Chen Jianghe felt that he needed to learn more about it. After all, they would be sleeping on the same bed together for many years to come. "Civil servant families usually have powerful leaders within three generations. Does our family have one too?"
"Yeah." Yi Caiwei nodded and smiled when she heard the senior use the term "our family". "My uncle is very powerful, he is the leader of the provincial party committee."
