Chapter 91 Pregnancy
After being rubbed a few times, Jia Dongjin noticed the woman's subtle look and realized that her first invitation was undoubtedly for the purpose of having a baby. The man was overjoyed and quickly seized the opportunity to "repair" her.
"Got it! I'll fix it right away and make sure my wife is well taken care of."
"Look at you, so silly."
Seeing the man's silly expression, Qin Huairu felt both pleased and sweet, and she quickened her pace.
At this moment, Jia Dongjin sincerely sighed, lamenting that the market economy was indeed better, and that competition made all the difference. As soon as his neighbor Zhang Qin became pregnant, she immediately spurred Qin Huairu to take the initiative, thus benefiting herself for no reason.
Unlike after the honeymoon, when the woman always used the excuse of her health to ignore Jia Dongjin, and would strictly control the time she was open with him as long as he didn't insist, now the man decided to be generous and not let the woman be unable to reach him.
"What does this taste like?"
Qin Huairu got up to pour water, but the smell of solder from Jia Dongjin's repair made her feel nauseous and uncomfortable.
The woman hurriedly took the basin and ran to the small toilet, where she vomited profusely. Only then did the two men realize something was wrong.
"My period was over a month late. I thought it was because I was breastfeeding, so I didn't pay much attention. I guess, I guess it was..."
Suddenly, Qin Huairu's face lit up with joy, and she brought up an important matter.
Upon hearing this, Jia Dongjin panicked and threw down the screwdriver in his hand. He put on his shoes and ran to the middle courtyard, where he called Jia Zhangshi to the new house in the front yard.
"No doubt about it, she stopped producing milk after getting pregnant. Dongjin, take a day off tomorrow morning and take Huairu to the hospital for a checkup."
After the exchange, Jia Zhangshi was all smiles, and she clapped her hands as she gave instructions.
"Mom, I can go by myself, no need to trouble Dongjin."
Qin Huairu is a practical person, and she feels bad about having her salary deducted for taking leave.
"We must go east! This is a great event. How can a man not go? Look how happy he is! His mouth is practically crooked with joy, you can't even see his face."
It is no coincidence.
The next morning, when the couple arrived at the hospital, they ran into Ma Quansheng and his wife. While the women went in for their check-ups, the two men were smoking in the corridor.
"I work in the power department. Power and electrical engineering are the same thing, so we're comrades!"
Facing his former rival, Ma Qianbu didn't mince words and immediately shook hands with Jia Dongjin.
During a casual chat, they discovered that the two were actually in the same department. Ma Quansheng was in the Power Section, and the Electrician Group was a subordinate of the Power Section, so the two were colleagues.
After getting closer, the two expectant fathers talked about precautions and how to take care of pregnant women.
By evening, everyone in the courtyard knew that the two brides were pregnant at almost the same time. The courtyard was about to welcome new members, and apart from Gao Cuilan, who was unable to have children, everyone felt a sense of joy. Even the air of gloom seemed to have faded a bit.
"Coincidences are inevitable, but too many coincidences seem deliberate. Our Jia family has always been seen as poor, and there are always envious people in the neighborhood, so there's always a lot of gossip. Now that Zhang Qin is here, we need to be even more careful. Ma Quansheng is a cadre in the power department, and I'm an electrician under the power department. Who knows what Zhang Qin is thinking? I hope we don't cause any trouble."
That evening, Jia Dongjin embraced the woman and gave her these instructions.
He had secretly observed the eyes of Ma Quansheng and his wife at the hospital. Zhang Qin seemed to have some ill intentions towards Qin Huairu, while Ma Quansheng looked like a typical young man, full of the joy of being a soon-to-be father, and didn't seem to have any guile.
But during this special period, there is no room for carelessness. Jia Dongjin is under immense pressure and can only proceed with extreme caution.
"I know you. You're just pretending. You ride that beat-up bicycle every day, as if you're afraid people won't know our Jia family is poor. Why don't you take a break and stop working so hard? You can stop going to the neighborhood office to repair radios. Ma Qianbu is an honest man, even a bit simple-minded. He doesn't seem like the kind of person who would do bad things."
After confirming her pregnancy, Qin Huairu finally let go of her worries. She spoke languidly, knowing that once she gave birth, her position at home would be secure, there would be no more barriers between the couple, and no one would gossip.
The woman had a very good impression of Ma Quansheng; she trusted her intuition.
"A lazy electrician is a slacker. A good man earns money with his brain and does high-value-added work. I'm not going to be like Liu Haizhong, that blockhead, swinging a sledgehammer all day and working like a grandson."
There's no need for husband and wife to hide things from each other; Jia Dongjin revealed his smugness for the first time.
What exactly is high added value?
"It's the same job, but I can easily earn 6 dollars repairing radios, while an average person works themselves to death and only earns 1 dollar. That's why I urge Bang Geng to study hard."
"I understand. Now, quickly teach me how to read."
When the woman saw the book the man brought over, she threw a small tantrum for the first time, "Take it away, take it away! Is this a book for a respectable person to read?"
Jia Dongjin looked ashamed and quickly removed "Jin Ping Mei" and replaced it with "San Yan Er Pai" to barely get his pregnant wife to accept it.
"Dongjin, I know you know a lot, and you've swiped quite a few books from Taozi. But even if you read them, you must hide them well. If word gets out, people will say you have bad ideas and are prone to making mistakes."
Looking at the awkward man, Qin Huairu felt a sense of strength and confidence for the first time. She pretended to be serious and began to give the man a serious lecture.
"Thank you, Teacher Li Xiuzhi. I, Xu Lingjun, will definitely study hard. Today's lesson content has been changed; we're learning idioms now."
Jia Dongjin was not one to back down. He threw down the book and sternly ordered the woman to learn the idioms "being serious" and "pretending to be proper."
"I've finished learning. Now you should clean yourself properly. Even Xu Lingjun needs to be hygienic."
After marriage, Qin Huairu discovered her husband's bad habit: he didn't like to wash up before going to bed at night, which she, who loved cleanliness, found utterly distasteful.
If your heart is strong, there is hope in life.
When the heart finds its home, life becomes sweet and fragrant.
Jia Dongjin's monthly salary of 51 yuan may not seem high, but with his radio repair skills, he can earn nearly 13 yuan a month. After the spring, with the addition of fishing subsidies, his monthly income is steadily close to 75 yuan. Qin Huairu's salary includes Jia Dongxu's seniority pay, which is 22.5 yuan a month.
The couple's combined monthly income is nearly 100 yuan.
Quietly, the Jia family's monthly income had become the highest in the courtyard, even surpassing that of the Yi Zhonghai and Liu Haizhong families.
Of course, the Jia family couldn't compare to the Xu family in the backyard. Xu Fugui was cunning and shrewd, secretly making money from trading letters of introduction and local specialties. The Xu family's wealth was unfathomable.
Qin Huairu took charge of the finances, and in just three and a half months after the marriage, she had accumulated nearly 200 yuan in savings, which gave her a sense of security and satisfaction she had never experienced before. She no longer felt the embarrassment and fear of eating expensive food, and she no longer had nightmares at night.
Neither of them mentioned not going fishing. Qin Huairu already knew that fishing was a man's hobby, and she also enjoyed going out with him.
Looking at the willows along the river gave her an unprecedented sense of relaxation, comfort, and joy.
Jia Dongjin was always willing to devote himself to life. In the past, his social status was an obstacle, but after the two got married and had money, he showered Qin Huairu with all kinds of love and sweet words without spending any money.
Jia Dongjin wasn't really good at sweet talk. He just kept repeating the same few phrases, like "Trust me" and "I will treat you well." When he was really short on words, he would bring up Xu Lingjun as an example. But women love to hear it, and every time they heard it, their feelings for each other deepened.
"Oh dear, Dongjin, you're the head of the household, how can you be washing me?"
Women are taught from a young age to work, serve men, and raise children.
Qin Huairu never knew that husband and wife could get along like this, or that a man could treat his woman this way.
Jia Dongjin both respected and loved Qin Huairu. Everything after their marriage captivated her, and sometimes she would even dream in the middle of the night that she was dreaming, until she saw Jia Dongjin lying next to her, her head resting on his arm.
"What's the big deal? You wipe me down every day. I'm happy to clean and refresh my wife. Nobody can tell me what to do."
Jia Dongjin didn't care at all. Helping with the cleaning and taking the opportunity to grope each other was a little fun between husband and wife, and he didn't think it would damage a man's dignity.
What women care about most is a man's love for them. Qin Huairu couldn't control herself and took the initiative for the second time. She kissed the man's chest and touched his eight-pack abs, which she had discovered was the man's weakness.
As the man's breathing became heavier, she said smugly, "Good man, the doctor said it would be three months later, hehe."
Marital life is a catalyst and adhesive for a relationship. Jia Dongjin is in good physical condition and pays attention to training and nutrition. He is at the peak of his physical fitness, and Qin Huairu has experienced unprecedented joy and satisfaction.
There were no longer any obstacles or awkwardness between the two, like those between an uncle and sister-in-law. They were no different from other couples. In private, Qin Huairu was even more feminine than a woman.
"Sure enough, the prettier a woman is, the more likely she is to lie. She'll only say she's a good person, but she won't listen to what good people say."
Jia Dongjin let out a long sigh and once again quoted Mr. Jin Yong's famous saying.
"Don't talk nonsense. How could I not listen to you?"
The man was skilled, had beautiful handwriting, and spoke pleasantly, but he often uttered enigmatic remarks, making Qin Huairu feel that Jia Dongjin was shrouded in mystery.
"Alright, after three months, you have to listen to the good people."
Taking advantage of the opportunity, Jia Dongjin leaned close to the woman's ear and told her about the new position.
