Jiang Xinyu kept internally criticizing Wei Kaiyun, this awful man.
Meanwhile, at the forestry center, Wei Kaiyun sneezed three times in a row. Is his wife thinking about him?
He was currently cutting timber with the workers every day and was also responsible for the counting.
This way, he earned a lot of people's recognition. He wasn't stingy, sharing the food his wife brought with everyone to try.
This made everyone have an even better impression of him. They're all ordinary people, so they got along even more harmoniously.
When school ended, Jiang Xinyu was stopped by the uncle at the gate, who handed her a package slip.
Looking at the address and notes, she knew this was the seafood sent over by Hao Shichao.
After feeding her son at noon, it wasn't enough for him, so he ended up having formula.
Jiang Xinyu also noticed the changes in her body. Having been pregnant once before, she had some experience.
Nine times out of ten, she's pregnant again. She felt a bit downhearted, but still looked forward to this child's arrival.
After lunch, she went to the post office to pick up the package. Looking at these two big bags, it was indeed a lot. The staff even helped load it onto the cart and tied it securely.
"Xiao Jiang, I could have picked it up. If you pull a muscle, it would be trouble, so you have to be careful."
Bai Hongying believed Jiang Xinyu was pregnant. After all, her husband had been back for a month, and they were inseparable; pregnancy was normal.
"Hmm, I'll be careful next time, just forgot." It wasn't forgotten though.
"Aunt Bai, please lay these seafood items out to dry in the yard. It'll be easier to preserve."
The strong smell of seafood made Jiang Xinyu almost vomit, so she hurried back inside.
When her period was supposed to come but didn't, Jiang Xinyu knew she was 100% pregnant.
Her body was really suited for childbearing; she had a fertile constitution.
On Saturday, she went to the hospital for an examination. They also had ultrasound, and indeed, she was pregnant.
This finally settled her mind. Since she was pregnant, she would nourish properly.
Counting the days on her fingers, she realized she'd give birth in December. She'd have to take leave again and didn't know if the school would expel her.
After returning home, Jiang Xinyu told Bai Hongying the news.
"Xiao Jiang, that's quite good. Have more while you're young, or you might not be able to later when you want to."
"Hmm, they're here already, so it can only be ."
Since finding out she was pregnant, Jiang Xinyu was exceptionally cautious.
Jiang Xinyu helplessly spread her hands, then washed her hands and touched her belly, "I'm pregnant."
"Ha, you two weren't idle, were you?" Zhang Baozhen teased with a smile.
Jiang Xinyu glared at Zhang Baozhen. She knew Jiang Xinyu's husband had returned during the winter break but wasn't aware of the relationship with Zhang Shuping's husband.
"I can already imagine the looks and expressions the counselor and professor will give me. If the confinement is in December, it mustn't delay the exams. Or else, when will I ever graduate?" Jiang Xinyu lamented.
"You should quickly report to the counselor. Don't participate in any activities afterward."
Jiang Xinyu nodded, deciding to tell the counselor after school in the evening.
It was really a bit hard to bring up and she didn't know how to say it.
Zhang Shuping just laughed on the side. She knew how Wei Kaiyun clung to Jiang Xinyu as if he wanted to hang on her.
After school, Jiang Xinyu went to the counselor's office.
"Jiang? Do you have something? Don't you usually run straight home after school?"
Jiang Xinyu blushed a little, "Counselor Zhang, I'm pregnant again."
Zhang Xinghua was momentarily stunned—isn't the child just born? And now pregnant again?
Seeing the female student across blushing, he quickly responded, "Alright, I understand. Take care of yourself."
"Thank you, Counselor Zhang, I'll be careful."
As Jiang Xinyu walked back, she grumbled to herself about Wei Kaiyun, feeling really embarrassed. It felt like she was becoming the center of attention.
Back home, after playing with her son for a while, during dinner, Bai Hongying asked, "Xiao Jiang, aren't you going to tell your husband?"
"Hmm, I'll call him on Saturday." Jiang Xinyu was also agonizing over this issue for days, feeling embarrassed to tell him and worried he might take a reckless risk.
Not being there for Shi Jing made him feel very guilty, and if he knew about this pregnancy, would he act recklessly?
She remembered Old Yang's departing words and hoped Wei Kaiyun would remain rational. After all, it really isn't safe now, especially with his kind of position.
She didn't know who his superiors were or if they would be implicated in a few years.
Forget it, just let it be . No matter what, life goes on as usual.
On Saturday, she went to the post office and dialed the phone. "Mr. Zhao, this is Jiang Xinyu. Could you let Wei Kaiyun answer the phone?"
"Call back in an hour. I'll go find him."
Jiang Xinyu put down the phone, sat aside, and waited. Seeing many oil tickets, she suddenly stood up and found a staff member.
"Comrade, I want to buy postage stamps, the whole sheet kind."
"You can look for yourself. There are booklets here. Which one do you want?"
"Can I have two sheets of each postage stamp?"
"Why are you buying so many?"
"Hehe, they just look nice, and I want to collect them. Maybe in the future, I can show them to the kids, see how exquisite our stamps are."
"Hmm, that's fine. Your idea is very good, I'll get them for you."
Jiang Xinyu spent fifty-eight yuan to buy all the stamps available at the post office.
It had been an hour. She dialed again. Wei Kaiyun was waiting nearby. As the phone rang, he picked up the receiver.
"What's wrong?" Wei Kaiyun was a bit anxious. He knew Jiang Xinyu well; she wouldn't call without reason.
"I'm pregnant," Jiang Xinyu said, blushing. When pregnant with Shi Jing, she didn't even know where Wei Kaiyun was. During that time, all she had was worry for him, never having experienced telling her man she was pregnant.
Wei Kaiyun was stunned for a moment, then overjoyed, quickly followed by fear.
"Xinyu, wait for me, wait for me."
"No need, don't worry, I'm just letting you know."
"Xinyu, wait for me, wait for me," repeated Wei Kaiyun.
"Wei Kaiyun, don't be . I'm fine, I can take care of myself."
"Wait for me, I'll make arrangements. Go home."
Jiang Xinyu had no choice but to hang up, unable to make him understand.
Noticing the operator staring at her, she felt a bit embarrassed, paid, and left seemingly in a rush.
