Chapter 13: Becoming a Mother
Under He Jing's sweet words offensive, Xuan Ziyi returned to Shenzhen and asked the company for marriage leave. The company specially approved Xuan Ziyi's one-month marriage leave.
He Jing let Xuan Ziyi meet with his mother and sister as promised.
Before meeting He Jing's mother, Xuan Ziyi had always thought that He Jing was so humorous, and his relationship with his mother and sister should be very harmonious. When Xuan Ziyi saw it, she realized that it was completely opposite to her imagination.
The banquet was arranged in a small restaurant with home-cooked food in the Northeast, and Xuan Ziyi's parents did not come because of work.
He Jing's mother and sister showed up at half past six in the evening.
He Jing's mother was a young old lady in her sixties, not tall and with gray hair. looks much older than his actual age, wrinkles are all over his cheeks, and he is wearing a black cotton coat, which is probably deliberately bought by He Jing's sister for the old lady.
"This is my mother, Mom, this is Ziyi, I want to take it back to get the marriage certificate immediately, it's your daughter-in-law." He Jing pulled Xuan Ziyi to introduce him to his mother.
"Okay, it's good" He Jing's mother said this, she didn't talk much during the banquet, and she didn't like to laugh very much, but she barely squeezed out a polite smile to show that she welcomed Ziyi to become her daughter-in-law.
I don't know why, Xuan Ziyi observed He Jing's mother and son during the banquet, she found that He Jing's mother seemed to be very afraid of He Jing, as a prospective mother-in-law, she didn't even ask Xuan Ziyi's family situation, work, etc., which seemed a little unreasonable.
He Jing's sister looks bloated and not tall. She may have noticed that Xuan Ziyi was looking at her mother a little strangely, and then explained to Xuan Ziyi that her mother had been in poor health recently, and the doctor said that her mother was a little depressed and was taking medicine.
Xuan Ziyi was relieved at this time. He Jing's sister is quite enthusiastic, and she keeps chatting with Xuan Ziyi about the baby.
"You guys come out, what about the children?" Xuan Ziyi was worried about He Jing's sister's child.
"Well, we'll go back in a while, and now the child is in the hands of her grandparents." He Jing's sister has a hearty temperament, her actual age is the same as Xuan Ziyi, she is 25 years old, and due to the relationship between giving birth to a baby, her figure has not recovered, and she looks old-fashioned.
"You don't know, I haven't slept well since I had a child, and I'm watching myself get older day by day" He Jing's sister complained constantly during the banquet, although she was only twenty-five years old, she looked like she was in her early thirties. In addition, she didn't deliberately clean it up, and her skin was saggy, dark circles, and her hair was emitted to form a full resentful woman's appearance.
"Won't your husband help you?" Xuan Ziyi asked curiously.
"He is on a business trip and wants to make money to support us" He Jing's sister looked displeased when she said to her brother-in-law.
The meal with He Jing's family ended in a slightly dull atmosphere. Xuan Ziyi felt a faint uneasiness in her heart, but soon she followed He Jing's arrangement and went to He Jing's hometown Hegang to get a marriage certificate and take wedding photos.
Xuan Ziyi found that something was wrong, it was two weeks after her period, and there was still no movement. She told her mother about the situation, and Xuan Ziyi's mother immediately asked Xuan Ziyi to go to the hospital for an examination when she learned about it.
He Jing accompanied Xuan Ziyi to the hospital, and the result showed that Xuan Ziyi was pregnant.
After learning that Xuan Ziyi was pregnant, He Jing quickly held a wedding banquet at the request of Xuan Ziyi's parents. In addition to the six members of their own families who witnessed their wedding, they were Li Dong and several of He Jing's old subordinates, who started a business with He Jing. Only then did Xuan Ziyi know that He Jing still had some old knowledge before entering Yongsheng.
The unexpected pregnancy disrupted the arrangement between Xuan Ziyi and He Jing, and He Jing asked Xuan Ziyi to leave her job immediately and raise the baby at home with peace of mind. Xuan Ziyi originally disagreed, but chose to leave voluntarily under the language offensive of the company's personnel Wei Ya.
Xuan Ziyi quickly moved into He Jing's house and returned the room she had rented. Because my parents live in the unit, I just saved a lot of money. Xuan Ziyi's mother would come to take care of Xuan Ziyi from time to time.
He Jing began to go all out to start a business, leaving early and returning late, often traveling, and sometimes not seeing anyone for a week or two. But no matter if you work overtime or go on a business trip, you can always call Xuan Ziyi every day, which makes Xuan Ziyi very comforted.
Xuan Ziyi read parenting books wholeheartedly without complaint, and she put her focus on giving birth to a healthy baby with peace of mind. Xuan Ziyi often called He Jing's sister to ask for advice on how to pay attention to things such as diet during pregnancy.
In less than ten months, Xuan Ziyi successfully gave birth to a healthy girl of more than seven pounds. On that day, He Jing, He Jing's mother, sister, and Xuan Ziyi's parents were all outside the delivery room. When he heard that it was a girl who was born, He Jing's face changed from expectation to disappointment in an instant. He Jing's mother was expressionless, and He Jing's sister actually sighed. Xuan Ziyi's parents read an ominous feeling from the facial expressions of this family, and couldn't help but ask He Jing:
"You don't like Ziyi giving birth to girls?"
"No, don't worry about it, Mom and Dad," He Jing hurriedly hid his disappointed expression.
"This time there is another one" He Jing's mother said this with a disdainful expression on her face.
"Mother-in-law, what are you talking about?" Xuan Ziyi's mother hurriedly grabbed He Jing's mother and asked.
"I said I had another granddaughter," He Jing's mother blurted out.
"Mom, what are you talking about?" He Jing scolded his mother in a loud voice. He Jing's mother immediately turned around and left. He Jing's sister hurriedly followed the old lady out, and turned her head and shouted: "Brother, I'm afraid that something will happen to my mother, so I'll send her home first."
"You don't need to come, Ziyi has her parents and me to take care of you." He Jing decisively rejected his sister.
"Well, they're busy with theirs, I'll take care of Ziyi's mother and daughter" Xuan Ziyi's mother looked at her mother-in-law, she didn't worry about handing over Ziyi to them to take care of, so she assured her son-in-law.
"Then it's hard Mom and Dad, I'll go and ask the doctor how long it will take to come out of the delivery room?" He Jing pretended to be busy. He didn't want Xuan Ziyi's family to know that he still had a daughter. When Xuan Ziyi was discharged from the hospital, he explained to her that he felt that it was time for a showdown.
After Xuan Ziyi went through the pain of giving birth, she was weak, and her whole body was already soaked with sweat. She looked weakly at the nurse and just gave her a look at the baby, said the amount and gender, and put it in the incubator next to her. She didn't know what was going on outside.
Seeing that the baby has not opened her eyes yet, she is happily babbling in the incubator with her little hands, her hair is quite black and dense, wearing the small underwear she bought with a small apple pattern, her face is wrinkled, like a little old lady. She was wondering how her newborn baby could look like this.
Xuan Ziyi's heart was happy, after more than five hours of painful struggle, at the moment she looked at the baby, she felt that all her hard work was worth it, the baby was putting her fingers in her mouth and sucking, she looked at it and fell asleep tired......
