Chapter 193: Pregnant already?
Chapter 193: Pregnant already?
While Liu Lu and Yang Zhi were taking their exams, Liu Yuhan and her mother went to stay at the Liu Mansion for a while.
Liu Yuhan has been feeling tired and sleepy lately. Everyone thought that she was too exhausted from going to school with Liu Qing all the time, so they asked her to have a good rest at home.
"Xiao Han, this is your favorite sea fish. Huo Er sent it to you. It's still fresh and frozen. Eat more."
"Okay, Grandma."
"Ugh..." Liu Yuhan picked up the fish but before putting it into his mouth, his stomach churned and he couldn't help but dry heave.
"Cousin, what's wrong with you? Are you okay?" Liu Qing quickly stood up and walked towards her.
"Qing'er, I'm fine, no need to worry."
The great-grandmother exchanged glances with the mother and daughter and smiled meaningfully.
"Xiao Han, how long has it been since you had your period?" asked Liu.
"Ah..." Liu Yuhan was stunned for a moment before she realized that her period was delayed by nearly twenty days this month.
She took her own pulse. It was like beads rolling on a plate, undoubtedly a slippery pulse.
"I...I'm pregnant?" Liu Yuhan muttered to herself.
"What's the matter, cousin?" Liu Qing looked confused.
"Qing'er, come here and sit down. Don't worry. Your cousin is pregnant. This is a normal reaction." He said with a smile.
"Xiao Han, you are going to be a mother soon, so you are not allowed to work so hard. You need to have a good rest recently." Grandma also said.
"Yes, you are a doctor yourself, so you should be more careful."
"Yes. Great-grandmother, grandmother, I will definitely pay attention to it."
"Wow, that's great, cousin. Congratulations, cousin." Liu Qing was very happy for her sister. After all, her sister had been married for more than a year and still hadn't gotten pregnant. Her grandmother and great-grandmother were privately quite worried, after all, her brother-in-law was not young anymore.
"Grandma, mother, don't worry, I will take good care of Xiaohan." Liu was very happy that her daughter was finally going to become a mother.
"If Huo knew this, he would be so happy. He is already grown up and it's time for him to be a father," said the great grandmother.
"Your grandmother and her brother are twins, your mother, and the Huo family are all pregnant with twins. I don't know what will happen with your pregnancy. Whatever happens, it's all good."
"Yeah, whatever."
"Hmm." Liu Yuhan subconsciously touched her belly. Was there a baby here? She and Huo Dong were going to be parents.
When they first got married, Huo Dong told her that he hoped to spend more time together as a couple and didn't want to have children so early, so he asked her to prescribe some medicine for him.
She stopped taking the medicine just before the Lunar New Year. She was afraid that pregnancy would be bad for the child, so she refused to have sex for the first month after stopping the medicine. She knew what her husband was like. Once he got involved with her, he would never stop. A martial artist's energy was unimaginable. They had only had sex a few times after the Lunar New Year, and she got pregnant... Liu Yuhan blushed a little when she thought about it.
"Xiao Han, then you should eat something light." Liu moved the fish away and interrupted her.
"Okay, mother."
"I'll ask the kitchen to make you some chicken soup later."
"Thank you grandma."
Liu Yuhan ate some light dishes and was asked to go back to her room to rest after eating.
In the evening, Liu Yuhan couldn't help but write a letter to Huo Dong, and gave the letter to Huo Er, who would send a carrier pigeon to the military camp.
..........................................
barracks.
Huo Dong was so excited after receiving Liu Yuhan's letter that he couldn't vent his excitement. He pulled Liu Yang, Huo Nan, Huo Yi, Huo San and others to fight him one by one. He needed to evacuate his energy!
"Brother, are you crazy?!"
Seeing one person after another being knocked down by his brother and lying on the grass, Honan couldn't help but shout!
"Yes, General, we were just sparring, you hit me too hard." Liu Yang couldn't help but shout and rubbed his buttocks that were hurt by the kick.
"Hahaha..." Huo Dong turned around and went back to his tent with sweat all over his head.
Several people lay on the grass, looking at each other with puzzled expressions. Could the general have been possessed by a demon? We should get a military doctor to check him out.
When they found out the truth, Liu Yang and Huo Nan were very happy!
"Haha...I'm going to be an uncle!"
"Haha...I'm going to be an uncle!"
Huo Dong acted decisively and made arrangements for the military camp. It would be possible for him to report to Beijing after the New Year. In any case, he had something to say.
"Brother, I want to go to the capital too! Didn't you say you would take me with you next time?"
Huo Dong thought about it and agreed. The old prince was already old, and every time they met, he would talk about wanting to see Huo Nan, Huo Xi, and Huo Bei.
"Then pack your bags, and we'll leave for the capital tomorrow."
"Yeah, okay, okay, I'll go clean it up right away."
"Wait a minute, tell your brother Liu Yang to pack up and go to the capital with us."
"Okay, okay..." Huo Nan said as he ran away.
Huo Dong wanted to take Liu Yang to visit the capital. Every year when Mrs. Jiang saw them, she would always complain about Liu Yang not getting married.
There was really no time to see each other. Liu Yang also looked ignorant and didn't care about these things. It seemed that he really didn't want to get married.
But as a master, he couldn't be careless. He didn't want his wife to worry about these things when she was pregnant.
Liu Yuhan had no idea that they were coming to the capital.
Liu Lu and Yang Zhi had finished their exams and returned to the Liu residence. They would stay in the capital for a month to wait for the results.
Liu had given birth to several children before, so she naturally knew some of the precautions during pregnancy. Although life was difficult for the family when she was pregnant with those children, Mrs. Jiang always did her best to take care of her.
Now that life is better, Liu makes soup for Liu Yuhan almost daily. Liu Yuhan is experiencing severe morning sickness, vomiting after eating, then eating again shortly afterward. This has caused her to lose a lot of weight, and she feels a bit weak and even anemic. She's worried about affecting the baby and doesn't want to take medication. After all, ultrasounds weren't available in ancient times.
Liu made some pickled vegetables for her, and the Liu family also brought a lot of sour plums. Liu Yuhan tried her best to force herself to eat more.
In order to divert attention, I practiced calligraphy and painting to relax my mood. Pregnant mothers, due to changes in hormones in their bodies, may not eat or sleep well and are easily depressed, so it is very important for pregnant mothers to be in a good mood, which may even affect the baby's personality development in the future.
Huo Dong rode at full speed and arrived in the capital at night ten days later. Liu Yuhan had already gone to bed.
Liu was surprised to see them coming and prepared some food for them. Huo Dong went to the front yard to bathe and wash up, then quietly entered Liu Yuhan's bedroom.
Because her mother slept next door and often came to see her, Liu Yuhan did not lock the door. The weather in the north was still a bit cold at this time, so she opened the window in the room and placed a charcoal basin.
In the dim candlelight, Huo Dong saw the person he had been thinking about. He hadn't seen her for more than two months and she had lost so much weight. Huo Dong was heartbroken!
Huo Dong rubbed his hands and warmed them in the charcoal basin. When his hands became warm, he took off his coat and gently held her in his arms.
Liu Yuhan was half asleep and half awake when she felt as if someone had entered the room. There was a familiar smell and a warm body. She must be dreaming. She was very sleepy and nestled in Huo Dong's arms. When she felt comfortable, she fell into a deep sleep.
Liu Yuhan woke up in Huo Dong's arms, his mind still dazed. Seeing Huo Dong sleeping soundly, his black, hard beard was exposed. He was so surprised that he had come all this way in such cold weather!
He must have received her letter. He was always like this, responding to whatever she did. Liu Yuhan suddenly felt warm. She nestled in his arms, not in a hurry to get up, letting him sleep a little longer, as he must be exhausted.
"Yan Ping, wake up, you idiot, why are you here?"
"Xiao Han, I miss you. I heard that you are pregnant. I can't wait to see you. Will it be hard?" Huo Dong kissed her forehead.
"Not bad. How did you learn that pregnancy would be difficult?"
"When my mother was pregnant with Xiaobei, she couldn't eat or even drink water. She was in great pain."
"Thank you for your hard work, Xiaohan." Huo Dong put his hand on Liu Yuhan's belly and leaned forward.
"Listen carefully, I am your father. You must behave well in my womb. I cannot let your mother suffer."
"Haha...silly, he's still too young to sense it."
"Oh, I hope he hears it."
By the time the couple got up, it was already Si time.
"Xiao Han, you must be hungry. Come and eat quickly. You are pregnant and you can't starve."
"Here we come, mother."
"Mother-in-law, it's my fault. I overslept." Huo Dong felt a little embarrassed. They had just chatted on the bed for a while, and it was his negligence.
"It's okay. I'm just tired from traveling. You and Xiaohan should go have breakfast."
"Thank you, mother-in-law."
"Xiao Han, walk slower." Huo Dong supported her nervously, and Liu couldn't help laughing.
After breakfast, Liu Yuhan and Huo Dong went to the front yard and met Liu Yang and Huo Nan.
When Huo Dong returned to the capital, he naturally went to the palace to meet the emperor. He dressed himself, shaved, changed his clothes, and went to the palace.
Huo Nan and Liu Yang didn't have to go to the palace to see the emperor. Liu Yuhan hadn't been to school for several days, and when she was about to go out, Liu Yang and Huo Nan naturally had to accompany her as bodyguards.
"Xiao Han, walk slower." Liu Yang felt a little nervous when he saw his sister walking so fast.
"Yes, sister-in-law, you have to go slower."
"It's okay, don't worry." Liu Yuhan found their expressions a little funny. It wasn't like she was carrying a bomb, so why were they all so worried?
When they reached the gate of the public school, they saw Miss He and Liu Qing coming over.
The He family's daughter is from Liu Yuhan's grandmother's family. The Liu family has recovered, let alone the He family. They were originally sent by the previous emperor to guard the southern border.
The girl from the He family is called He Qingchuan, she is 17 years old, with regular features and a somewhat heroic look. She has been practicing martial arts since she was a child and just came back from southern Xinjiang two years ago. Her family members looked for a couple for her last year, but she was not satisfied with any of them.
She and Liu Qingchen were cousins, and because the school was jointly run by their three families, they were very close, and naturally got to know Liu Yuhan. Liu Yuhan had a straightforward personality and was organized, which was quite to her liking.
Qingchuan likes to go to school with Liu Qing and is too lazy to listen to her mother's nagging at home. She is annoyed by her mother's urging to get married, and she wants to find someone to learn from and vent her anger.
"Sister Han, Brother Liu Yang." Liu Qing saw them first and greeted them.
"Qing'er, Qingchuan, you are here."
"Let me introduce you, Qingchuan, this is my eldest brother Liu Yang, and this is my younger brother Huo Nan. Qing'er, you haven't met Huo Nan yet, right?"
"Brother, Huo Nan, this is the girl from the He family, He Qingchuan. Huo Nan, this is my cousin Liu Qing."
Liu Yang and Huo Nan felt shy and at a loss when they saw the two young girls.
Liu Yang knew Liu Qing, as the Liu family had come to Fulai Village before. But he had never seen Miss He before. She looked at people with such a direct gaze that he felt a little embarrassed.
Huo Nan felt his heart skip a beat when he saw Liu Qing's sweet smile. He frantically smoothed his hair over. He and Liu Yang foolishly bowed to the two girls.
Qingchuan couldn't help laughing, and Liu Qing also covered her mouth and laughed. Liu Yuhan couldn't bear to watch.
Liu Yuhan pulled the two girls aside.
"Don't mind me. They spend most of their time in the military camp and rarely see girls, so naturally they don't know about these things. My eldest brother is quite honest, while my younger brother is still a bit naive. They haven't even married yet."
"It's okay, Sister Han."
"It's okay. They're quite funny. Your brother is quite tall, so he should be good at martial arts, right?"
"Well, it's okay. He is naturally strong, and things weighing hundreds of pounds are easy for him."
"Oh?" Qingchuan raised her eyebrows and looked at the tall figure not far away. He stood there a little stiffly, not knowing what to do with his hands, like a bear. She felt like laughing again.
Several people went into the school together. Liu Yuhan discussed some school matters with them and then took Liu Yang and Huo Dong back.
"Huonan! Walk carefully." Liu Yuhan saw Huo Nan's stupid look and reminded him, as he was about to bump into the wall.
"Oh. Sister-in-law, I'm fine."
Huo Nan's mind flashed with Liu Qing's sweet smile. Her voice was so gentle, and she was so patient with the students. Huo Nan couldn't help but blush...
