Chapter 106 Go or stay?
Not long after, Lin Dawei, who was called home by Wang Shengnan, pushed the door open and saw Wang Shengnan leaning on the sofa with her eyes closed. He hurried over to show concern.
"What's wrong? You're not in such good shape. Why don't you take a few days off to rest?"
Wang Shengnan didn't open her eyes, but pointed to the diagnosis report and the pregnancy test stick on the table.
Lin Da followed her lead and looked over. He first saw the pregnancy test stick and picked up the report below. When he saw the two bars on the pregnancy test stick, his heart skipped a beat. He hurriedly flipped through the report in his hand, and finally calmed down and looked at Wang Shengnan.
"Miao Miao is pregnant??"
"tsk"
Wang Shengnan was so angry at Lin Dawei's reaction that she opened her eyes and looked at him with a frown.
"This is mine. Miaomiao is a young girl and you have slandered her like this. If she were here, she would definitely fight you to the death."
"your??"
Lin Dawei was even more shocked. He looked at Wang Shengnan with wide eyes, then lowered his eyes to look at her belly. He wanted to reach out and test it, but then he pulled his hand back and licked his dry lips.
"How long has it been? What's the status?"
"The doctor said it's been almost a month and I can't do an ultrasound yet. I need to wait another week or two. I don't know the condition, but I don't think it's very good. I've been very busy this month and I haven't been very casual about eating."
At this point, Wang Shengnan also sighed softly. The first few months were the most dangerous. If you were not careful, you might lose the pregnancy. She didn't even think that she was pregnant, and she didn't pay much attention to early protection.
Wang Shengnan frowned, feeling a little disgusted with the idea that she had already started considering having a second child. Her reason told her that she could not keep this child.
Lin Dawei, who was standing by, had calmed down after being surprised at first. He leaned on his knees and looked at Wang Shengnan with no emotion in his voice.
"Shengnan, what do you think?"
“I don’t want to stay, but”
But Wang Shengnan couldn't say the rest, but Lin Dawei knew what she meant. After all, it was their child, and it would be a bit cruel to just say no. He sat next to Wang Shengnan and held her hand.
"Then let's not keep it. We are already so old. If we give birth to a child now, we won't be able to raise it. Others will think it is Miaomiao's child. If the child is really born, with an 18-year age difference between us, it will be no different from being Miaomiao's child."
Lin Dawei didn't say some of his words, but Wang Shengnan heard them. She leaned on the sofa with a depressed look on her face. She was struggling with her mind, but she still said
"Then don't keep it. Let's take an ultrasound next week and ask the doctor when the surgery can be done."
Hearing Wang Shengnan say this, Lin Dawei sighed softly. This child came too late. If Miaomiao had come before she was ten years old, it would have been a good time, but now it is too late.
Patting Wang Shengnan's hand, Lin Dawei comforted her softly.
"Okay, that's it. You should tell your boss about this period of time. You will need to rest for a while after the surgery. You should ask for leave in advance."
"kindness"
Wang Shengnan leaned on Lin Dawei's chest, tears glistening in the corners of her eyes.
Holding Wang Shengnan's shoulders, Lin Dawei spoke softly
"You should also take a rest during this time and take care of your body, so that you can recover faster."
The atmosphere between the two became quiet. After a while, Lin Dawei suddenly thought of a question and looked at Wang Shengnan.
"Should I tell Miaomiao about this?"
Wang Shengnan opened her eyes, thought seriously for a while, and then shook her head.
"Forget it. This matter has nothing to do with her. It would be awkward to tell her. If she finds out, just tell her. If she doesn't, forget it."
"Okay, I'll do whatever you say. You haven't eaten lunch yet, right? I'll go make dinner. What do you want to eat?"
"It's fine, I don't have much appetite"
"I see. I'll do it then."
Lin Dawei got up and went to the kitchen.
Listening to the noise coming from the kitchen, Wang Shengnan felt a little better. At least she could rest for a while.
Lin Dawei also decided to go out less during this period, and to communicate by phone if there is anything that can be solved. The early condition of a pregnant woman is very unstable, especially her emotions, and she might get stuck in a dead end and cannot get out.
So when Lin Miaomiao returned home after class, she saw Lin Dawei hugging Wang Shengnan, with Wang Shengnan's head resting on Lin Dawei's shoulder, and the two of them were watching TV with smiles on their faces.
Shivering, Lin Miaomiao shook her body, feeling disgusted, and walked back to the room quickly, complaining as she walked.
"Two people in their 50s are still sticking together every day, eh~~"
Wang Shengnan looked at Lin Miaomiao's back, rolled her eyes and said nothing.
Lin Miaomiao put away her schoolbag, took her cell phone and walked out of the room. She sat down in the gap between Wang Shengnan and Lin Dawei, twisted her body, squeezed the two apart, and put her arm around one of them. Looking at their speechless expressions, Lin Miaomiao was very satisfied.
“This is normal.”
Lin Dawei, who was pushed aside, took a look at Wang Shengnan's belly, stood up and walked towards the kitchen.
Lin Miaomiao looked at Lin Dawei's back with some surprise, and looked at Wang Shengnan
"What is my dad doing?"
"What else can you do in the kitchen? Cook?"
Wang Shengnan looked as if it was a matter of course, while Lin Miaomiao stared at Wang Shengnan with wide eyes.
"Don't you usually cook? Why is it my dad's turn to cook?"
Looking at Lin Miaomiao with a squint, Wang Shengnan's tone was emotionless.
"Oh, you can't just let me take a break, can you?"
"Yes, yes, then you should have a good rest."
Lin Miaomiao heard a hint of threat in Wang Shengnan's tone and tried to avoid the topic.
Pick up your phone and start watching short videos.
As she was swiping, Lin Miaomiao let out a light exclamation and moved her eyes a little closer to the phone.
Seeing Lin Miaomiao's eyes almost glued to the phone, Wang Shengnan couldn't help but reach out and touch her head.
"Don't get so close, or your myopia will get worse."
"No, Mom, I'm afraid I saw it wrong. Look at the person in this video, is it Deng Xiaoqi?" Lin Miaomiao put the phone in front of Wang Shengnan. Wang Shengnan squinted her eyes and looked up at the video for a while, then nodded hesitantly.
"Looks like her. Isn't she your classmate? Why are you asking me?"
"I can't believe this, can I?"
Lin Miaomiao took back her phone and looked at the video carefully. It was actually a video of Deng Xiaoqi practicing dancing in a ballet costume. There was nothing special about it, but Lin Miaomiao didn't expect that Deng Xiaoqi would also use this software, and she saw her on it so soon.
I looked at the number of likes, there were nearly a thousand likes and dozens of comments. I clicked on the comments and saw that they were basically all flattery, praising Deng Xiaoqi for her dancing, and some directly praising Deng Xiaoqi for her beauty. There were also a few little emojis with red hearts in their eyes at the bottom.
Considering that she knew Deng Xiaoqi and they once had a friendship, Lin Miaomiao gave her a thumbs up and moved on to the next video.
Not long after, Lin Dawei prepared dinner and invited the mother and daughter to come and eat.
Seeing Lin Dawei picking up all the good dishes and meat for Wang Shengnan, Lin Miaomiao was a little stunned. This kind of scene had happened before, but it was only occasionally and Wang Shengnan would always refuse. But this time it was different. Lin Dawei didn't even care about eating himself and wanted Wang Shengnan to eat first, and Wang Shengnan didn't refuse.
Lin Miaomiao recovered, picked up a piece of fish, put it in her mouth, chewed it twice, and said to Lin Dawei
"Dad, you didn't put enough seasoning on this fish, it has no taste"
"Oh, I see. I'll pay attention next time."
Lin Dawei said this but he didn't even look at Lin Miaomiao. He picked up a small piece of fish with his chopsticks, carefully removed the fish bones and put it to Wang Shengnan's mouth.
Wang Shengnan did not refuse and put it directly into her mouth. However, after chewing it for a few times, Wang Shengnan's face changed and she rushed into the bathroom, covering her mouth.
Lin Dawei and Lin Miaomiao watched Wang Shengnan disappear into the bathroom. Then there was a sound of vomiting. Lin Miaomiao turned to look at Lin Dawei and spread her hands.
"It seems that not only the seasoning is not properly added, but the fishy smell is not handled properly. My mother even vomited because of you. It looks like morning sickness."
When Lin Dawei heard Lin Miaomiao talking about morning sickness, his body trembled violently and he was frightened. When he heard that Lin Miaomiao didn't continue talking and confirmed that she just said it casually, he breathed a sigh of relief.
Lin Miaomiao quickly finished the meal in front of her and put the bowl and chopsticks into the sink. When she passed behind Lin Dawei, Lin Miaomiao spoke earnestly.
"Dad, next time you should let mom take care of the important task of cooking. Your cooking skills are too unstable. The dishes tonight are too bland."
"Got it, let's go have fun"
"What are you playing for? I still have homework to do. Sigh."
Lin Miaomiao walked back to her room with her head down, opened her homework, looked at it, first yawned, then resignedly picked up the pen and started doing her homework.
At the same time, Deng Xiaoqi, who also yawned, put down the pen he was writing, lay down on the bed and started playing with his mobile phone.
After opening the short video, I found that my phone was slightly stuck. Then I saw the red dot of '99+' on the message notification. My heart skipped a beat. I clicked on the message notification, and a series of messages popped up. Most of them were likes, and there were dozens of comments.
Looking at the praises in the comments, Deng Xiaoqi couldn't help but smile. She thought she was still very good. As expected, as long as a person is good, he can shine anywhere, including on the Internet.
After replying to the top comments in the comment section, Deng Xiaoqi uploaded another video. This video was full of difficult moves, such as bending over and doing splits. Deng Xiaoqi also wanted to show these people that she was not only good-looking, but also capable.
After a night, Lin Miaomiao returned to school and chatted with Wu Xianyu while doing her homework after class.
"Xianyu, you don't know, I don't know what's wrong with my parents, they are so attached to each other. Last night my dad kept picking food for my mom, and they hugged each other while watching TV. Even when my mom went to the toilet, my dad would look at her a few more times, as if she was pregnant."
Hearing Lin Miaomiao say this, Wu Xianyu paused. It seemed that Lin Miaomiao really meant it. Thinking of his own experience, Wu Xianyu continued to talk with Lin Miaomiao without changing his tone.
"Oh, what if Auntie is really pregnant?"
"If my mother is really pregnant, then..."
After a long while, Lin Miaomiao didn't think of anything. She stretched out a finger and scratched her head, then looked at Wu Xianyu.
"How can my mother get pregnant at such an old age?"
"What if?"
Wu Xianyu was not in a hurry and did not stop writing his homework.
Lin Miaomiao thought about it seriously, put down the pen in her hand, and looked at Wu Xianyu in a serious tone after a while.
"Then I'm definitely against it. Not to mention that my mother is so old, saying she is a high-risk pregnant woman is an understatement. And also..."
After hesitating for a while, Lin Miaomiao didn't know whether she should say this or not. She was an adult already, so it would be okay to have less love from her parents.
Wu Xianyu glanced at her, guessed what she was struggling with, and told her in a firm tone
"If I really want to have a second child, my love and care for you will inevitably decrease. This is inevitable, but you are an adult now, so it's a blessing in disguise."
"Stop, stop, stop. It's like my mom is really pregnant. There's no point in us discussing this."
Lin Miaomiao ended the topic and picked up her pen to start doing her homework, but seeing that she was still frowning, Wu Xianyu guessed that she was still thinking about this matter in her heart.
After returning home, Lin Miaomiao carefully observed her parents and felt that the possibility of Wang Shengnan being pregnant was getting higher and higher. She felt a little unhappy and aggrieved.
On Friday afternoon, Lin Miaomiao ran to Wu Xianyu's house, hid in his arms with a look of grievance, and buried her face in his chest.
Wu Xianyu didn't know what was going on, so he patted her back gently and said
"It's okay, it's okay."
After Lin Miaomiao recovered, Wu Xianyu asked what happened. Lin Miaomiao was not in good spirits, holding the fish ball and speaking to Wu Xianyu
"I discovered that my mother seemed to be really pregnant, and my father took care of her like he was taking care of the Empress Dowager Cixi"
After saying that, Lin Miaomiao looked up at Wu Xianyu, pouting with an unhappy look on her face.
"I'm already 18 years old. Why do you think my mom is getting pregnant at this time? I've calculated that when my dad is almost 70, the second child may not be an adult yet. Should I take care of him or not by then? Besides, they will definitely spoil the child if they have one in their old age. What if he turns out to be a bad person?"
Caressing Lin Miaomiao's back and helping her to breathe, Wu Xianyu understood what Lin Miaomiao was thinking. He also thought so at that time. What happened in his family later was similar to what Lin Miaomiao said. His sister learned to swear in kindergarten. She said to her mother "You bastard".
He immediately became furious and slapped his sister while he was eating, then kicked his sister out of the house and refused to let her in no matter what his mother said. Before, he would feel distressed when he heard his sister's crying, but that time he only heard the piercing sound.
After that, my sister never dared to swear again, but she had a fever and vomiting and diarrhea for several days because of this incident. She was also blamed by my mother. It was really a bad thing.
Wu Xianyu felt that Lin Miaomiao was thinking long-term, but children actually had little decision-making power in this matter. No matter what, whether or not to have brothers and sisters was an decision made by their parents. If parents wanted to have children, then they had to have them, and children could only endure it silently and change their mindset.
But he couldn't tell Lin Miaomiao about this, so Wu Xianyu simply diverted her attention and said with a smile
"It's okay. You will go to college next year and won't be at home anymore. We will get married after you finish college. Even if your uncle and aunt want you to take care of the second child, you will have a reason. If that doesn't work, you can get pregnant by then."
"Ah, you shameless one"
Hearing Wu Xianyu's words, Lin Miaomiao's face turned red and she punched Wu Xianyu's chest.
