Chapter 153: I'm going to be a father
"Lu Li!" Wei Xiuyuan trotted over, teasing with a face: "Why are you in such a hurry, are you looking for your younger siblings?" ”
Lu Li coughed lightly, "Didn't Xiaoman come today?" ”
According to his understanding of Xiaoman, it is impossible for her not to come to such a big scene today, she hasn't seen her for so long, doesn't she want to be herself?
"Let's go! Let's go back and talk about it! Because Xiao Man wanted to tell Lu Li the news of her pregnancy in person, Wei Xiuyuan also deliberately staggered the topic, but hooked Lu Li's neck, "You haven't come back for so long, I miss you, we have to have a good chat today." ”
Seeing Wei Xiuyuan's appearance, Lu Xian thought: It seems that Xiaoman really didn't come today.
His originally excited heart dropped slightly, and his already dark and thin face suddenly became haggard at this moment, but because there were still so many people in him, Lu Li had to cheer up and lead the horse back with Wei Xiuyuan.
It's impossible for Xiaoman not to come, could it be that something happened to her? Or did she resent that she had sent too few letters these days in the North?
On the way back to Lu Mansion, Lu Li was always absent-minded, thinking about the reason why Xiaoman didn't come, and his thoughts were complicated, and he couldn't figure out a clue.
Seeing his friend's dejected appearance, Wei Xiuyuan's words came to his lips several times, and he wanted to yell into Lu Li's ear: Xiaoman didn't come because she was pregnant with your child!
But a few times when the words came to his mouth, Wei Xiuyuan forced himself to swallow it again, it was better for Xiao Man to say this surprise in person, otherwise he would lose the meaning of surprise.
Endured all the way to the Lu Mansion, Wei Xiuyuan suddenly paused, and just as Lu Li frowned and was puzzled, he smiled at Lu Li meaninglessly, and patted the other party's shoulder, "Lu Li, it's better for you to walk the road ahead." ”
As long as he turned a corner, Lu Li could see Xiao Man waiting for him at the gate of the mansion.
"Why? Isn't your family over here? Lu Li was still frowning, his dark eyes full of doubt.
Wei Xiuyuan tried to suppress the good news again and again, then shook his head and sighed, pretending to be helpless, he patted the other party's shoulder again, "Lu Li, there are some things that you need to bear alone, and if I am present, it may not be appropriate." ”
After speaking, Wei Xiuyuan turned around and left without looking back.
Looking at his friend's back, and what he just said when he contacted him again, Lu Li's heart was even more panicked, could it be that something really happened?!
Lu Li, who was timid in his hometown, tightened the reins of the horse, took a deep breath, endured his doubts, and walked in the direction of Lu Mansion with his feet raised.
No matter what happens, as long as Xiaoman is still by his side, then he must ...... Wrong! What's up ahead?
Lu Li's eyes widened in disbelief, looking at Xiao Man standing at the door of his house, the big belly, the buzzing in his ears, the whole person couldn't think.
Now Lu Li is completely subconsciously moving forward, or being led forward by a horse, approaching Xiaoman step by step and approaching the truth.
"Lu Li!"
Xiao Man walked in the direction of Lu Li with a big belly, the smile on her face was almost overflowing, her steps were in a hurry, and the pearl had to speed up her pace to help Xiao Man, and Jade also followed closely behind her, and the smile on the corner of her mouth could not be contained.
Until Xiao Man stood in front of him, Lu Li was still stunned.
He looked at Xiao Man in disbelief, looked at Xiao Man's high belly, his mind was confused, and he didn't even notice that the reins were released, and he let the horse run into the Lu Mansion like a happy man, and he was still on the road a few hundred feet away from the Lu Mansion, looking at Xiao Man blankly.
Xiao Man was also very excited, she didn't say anything for a long time, she looked at Lu Li, who was getting thinner and thinner in front of her, and reached out to touch the other party's face in distress. It's much darker and thinner than when I left for more than half a year, and the bones on my cheeks are highlighted.
Although this seems to be more mature, Xiaoman is still very distressed.
The two looked at each other on the road for an unknown amount of time, and Wei Xiuyuan, who was hiding on the side, couldn't help it, and jumped out to interrupt the two of them, "How long do you have to look at each other like this?!" Xiaoman, tell him quickly! ”
"W-What?" Lu Li rarely got stuck in the shell, and with his slightly stunned eyes, Wei Xiuyuan on the side laughed more than once.
This laughter also attracted Xia Wanrou, she glanced at Wei Xiuyuan with disgust, stepped forward and grabbed the other party's sleeve, "The little couple is here, what are you making trouble, follow me quickly, don't disturb others." ”
Saying that, Xia Wanrou forcibly dragged Wei Xiuyuan away, and took the pearl and jade away by the way.
Lu Li swallowed his saliva and looked at Xiao Man with a slight bow, "You... Do you have something to tell me? ”
Su Xiaoman blushed with a small face, both excited and shy, she reached out and took Lu Li's big palm, and then gently covered her stomach, after thinking about it for a long time, she raised her head and bit her lip to look at each other, and said softly: "Lu Li, you are going to be a father." ”
"After you left, it didn't take long for me to find out that I was pregnant, and now it's more than seven months old, the doctor said, and it is estimated that it will be the day of childbirth after playing for the New Year. Lu Li, I am really happy that you can come back before the birth of the child. ”
Although this thought had already flashed through Lu Lizhong when he saw Xiao Man's big belly, when Xiao Man told him personally, Lu Li was still a little incoherent with excitement.
"Really, really? I... Am I really going to be a father? Lu Li's eyes were slightly red, and his big palm rubbed back and forth on Xiao Man's stomach, but the strength was light and light, lest he not grasp the proportion well and hurt Xiao Man.
Xiao Man pursed his lips and smiled faintly, "Lu Li, if it weren't for the fact that there were too many people at the city gate, I would definitely ......
"I know you're pregnant now, and it's right not to go to the gates." Lu Li looked at Xiaoman squarely, and was very serious, "It's been hard these days, right?" “
Xiao Man blushed and shook his head, never mentioning the previous circumstances.
Soon, Lu Li reacted, he hurriedly took Xiao Man's hand, "Outsiders are windy, let's go home and talk." ”
Lu Li is used to getting along with a group of rough old men on the battlefield, and when he saw Xiao Man at first glance, he still felt a lot of discomfort, if Xiao Man was not pregnant, he would have picked up Xiao Man and walked to the house, but now, ......
He carefully supported Xiao Man, caring about Xiao Man while looking at the road, looking more careful than Pearl, Jade and others.
Wei Xiuyuan, who was standing at the door, couldn't help but snicker when he saw this, "Lu Li, Lu Li, I really can't imagine that you still have this day." ”
Lu Li, who is usually vigorous and resolute, actually had the day when he bent his knees and bent down to take care of others, Wei Xiuyuan was really relieved to see it.
Xia Wanrou twisted Wei Xiuyuan with a smile when she heard this, and said angrily: "You talk a lot!" Didn't you see Xiao Mandu blushing? Shut up. ”
"Xiaoman, she blushed with excitement when she saw her husband, it has nothing to do with me. Isn't it, Xiaoman? Wei Xiuyuan smiled and teased.
Seeing the two of them saying one sentence to me, Xiao Man's cheeks became more and more red, and Lu Li couldn't help but bend the corners of his lips when he saw it, grabbed Xiao Man's palm, and secretly pinched it.
Seeing that the trouble was almost over, Xia Wanrou hurriedly said: "Okay, okay, let's go to the house and say, it's too windy outside." ”
The group entered the Lu Mansion in a mighty way, and Lu Li didn't even take off the armor on his body and sat next to Xiao Man again, looking at Xiao Man's stomach without blinking, as if he could see the child inside.
Seeing this, Wei Xiuyuan couldn't help but ridicule again, but Lu Li didn't fight back like in the past, but was immersed in the joy of being a father, and didn't hear what Wei Xiuyuan was saying at all.
Xia Wanrou couldn't help laughing lowly, and the subordinates next to her also covered their mouths and snickered, seeing that everyone was laughing, Wei Xiuyuan couldn't help but feel angry, but in order to prevent Lu Li from ignoring himself, he had to go to Xiaoman to talk, "Is the child's name ready?" ”
Xiao Man shook his head obediently, "Not yet." ”
She originally wanted Lu Li to come back and pick it up again, so she didn't pay attention to this aspect of the matter.
Wei Xiuyuan asked: "What about the nickname?" The child is still a few months away, and even if there is no big name to call for the time being, we should always give him a nickname, otherwise how will we call him then? Little Luli? Or is it Xiaoxiaoman? ”
As soon as these words came out, the girls and little girls in the house secretly laughed again, and Xiaoman couldn't help pursing his lips, with a slight smile in his eyes.
"Just call him Lu Wangshu." Lu Li, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly said: "Wangshu, welcome the light, boys and girls can call it by this name." ”
After speaking, he looked up at Xiao Man, "Xiao Man, what do you think of this name?" ”
Without waiting for Xiaoman to speak, Wei Xiuyuan persistently asked the child's nickname: "What about the nickname?" ”
Seeing this, Xia Wanrou couldn't help but reach out and pat him lightly, and said in a low voice: "What do you ask, you will naturally know when the child is born." ”
"But I'm curious to know now!" Wei Xiuyuan was quite arrogant.
Seeing the two of them arguing in a low voice on the side, Xiao Man felt very interesting, she covered her veil and chuckled lightly, and then looked at Lu Li, her cheeks involuntarily covered with a faint flush, "As long as you take a name, it's fine." ”
As soon as he finished speaking, there was the sound of horses' hooves clattering at the door, mixed with the creaking of people stepping on the snow.
After a while, the door curtain was opened, and the jubilant father-in-law in winter clothes appeared in everyone's sight, he first saluted everyone one by one, and then looked at Lu Li with a smile, "The emperor will hold a banquet in Qinghua Palace tonight to entertain King Wan Qi, and at that time, General Lu and Lord Wei will be invited to the banquet, don't miss the time." ”
After returning triumphantly, the emperor must be going to have a banquet, but he didn't expect it to be tonight.
Lu Li and Wei Xiuyuan responded at the same time, and then ordered someone to send his father-in-law away, and then sat down to speak again.
"It's not early now, Lu Li, you should go and rest first, I'll call you when the time comes." Xiao Man said distressedly.
Wei Xiuyuan, who was on the side, also echoed: "Yes, Lu Li, you go to rest first, and then change your clothes and go to the banquet." ”
