Accidentally entered a high gate

Su Jingyu: "..." This brat! "When you were little, your dad was either busy mopping up the remnants of Chiang Kai-shek's army or helping the young regime fight the Americans. He didn't have time to pay attention to you!"

Ma Lifeng thought about it and agreed. When he was little, not only his father but also his mother was very busy. The reason he insisted on calling his nephews and nieces "brother" and "sister," and his parents "brother," "sister-in-law," and "father" and "mother" was not only because he was immature, but also because he practically grew up with his two sisters-in-law. When he was little, going to his sisters-in-law's house meant "going home," and going to his parents' house meant "visiting." "Do my sisters-in-law miss me?"

"I've thought about it. Your eldest sister-in-law and second sister-in-law said they're definitely going to give you a beating when you get back."

"My eldest sister-in-law and second sister-in-law wouldn't bear to beat me." Only his father in his family would actually do that. "How many days can you stay here?"

"Three days."

"Only three days?"

Su Jingyu also wanted to stay a few more days. However, "We are still inferior to the British and Americans in many aspects. If we want to catch up with them, we have to work two days' worth of work in one day, and if we want to surpass them, we have to work three days' worth of work in one day."

"Okay." He was the only oddball in his family. "Are you going to visit your and my dad's old comrades and leaders these three days?" His father and mother had joined the revolution long ago. They had many comrades.

"Um."

I knew this would happen. "Does the three days you mentioned include today?"

"include."

"So, are you busy this afternoon and the day after tomorrow?"

"Um."

"Then I'll ask for leave again tomorrow."

"it is good."

"Since you have something to do this afternoon, I'll talk to Chunfang tonight about your plan to have her take over the shift. The lunch break is short, and I'm worried she won't be able to calm down when it's time to start work."

"OK."

Ma Lifeng then asked about his father, his brother and sister-in-law, his sister and brother-in-law, and his nephews and nieces.

Tian Erya figured that the mother and daughter had finished their conversation, so she had Chunfang bring the food back.

After finishing her meal, Su Jingyu chatted with Zheng Chunfang for a while before leaving.

Zheng Chunfang secretly wiped the sweat from her palms. "When Mom comes home tonight, shall I make dumplings for her?"

"Mother won't be back tonight."

"Oh? Mother...is Mother not used to living here?"

"No. Mother is going to see her and Father's old comrade-in-arms."

"Does Mother have comrades-in-arms here?"

"Yes. My mom and dad have comrades-in-arms all over the country. I have something to tell you after dinner tonight."

"What's up?"

"Let's talk about it after dinner tonight."

"Why wait until after dinner to talk about it?"

"I'm afraid you'll dig your toes when you're digging in the afternoon."

"I won't dig my own toes."

"You definitely will."

"I won't."

……

The young couple bickered for a while before heading off to work.

When Zheng Chunfang's friends saw her arrive, they all teased her.

A: "Chunfang, did your mother-in-law give you a gift when you first met her?"

B: "Chunfang, has your mother-in-law been urging you to give her a big, healthy grandson?"

C: "Chunfang, is your mother-in-law a cadre?"

Ding: "Chunfang, do your legs go weak when you see your mother-in-law?"

……

Even if her legs go weak, she can't admit it. Besides, her man has already given her so much money, why would she need a meeting gift? "You wait, I'll tease you about it when you get married too."

A: "We're not afraid."

B: "Exactly, we're not afraid at all."

Bing leaned close to Zheng Chunfang and whispered, "Has your period started yet?"

"What?"

"That's the one."

"What's that?"

"Are you scared out of your wits by your mother-in-law? She's the one who has her period every month."

Zheng Chunfang: "..." How could she have forgotten about this? "She...she didn't come."

"Then you're probably pregnant."

Zheng Chunfang: "..." No way? They avoided using contraception every time after their wedding night, except for the night they didn't have it on.

In the evening, Zheng Chunfang went to the clinic of their brigade as soon as she finished work.

After finishing work, Ma Lifeng didn't see Zheng Chunfang and assumed she had gone home first. But when he got home, he found the front door still locked.

As Ma Lifeng opened the door, he thought: His wife had probably gone to his mother-in-law's house to discuss how to entertain his mother tomorrow.

Ma Lifeng washed his face and went to fetch water.

After filling the water container, Ma Lifeng slumped into a chair and waited for his wife to come back and feed him.

He had just slumped into his chair when Zheng Chunfang returned. "Where did you go?" If his wife had gone to her father's house, she shouldn't have been back so quickly.

"I'm going to the clinic."

Ma Lifeng immediately sat up straight. "Are you not feeling well?"

"I don't feel unwell."

Ma Lifeng slumped back into his chair. "Then what were you doing at the infirmary?"

"I didn't have my period."

"Which one is that?"

Zheng Chunfang was embarrassed to say it. "That's it. The doctor said I'm pregnant, you're going to be a father."

"What?!" Ma Lifeng jumped up from his chair. "You're pregnant?!"

"Um."

Ma Lifeng: "..." How could he not want it? He didn't want to work, take care of the children, and support his wife's education all at the same time.
