Chapter 896: Chapter 896 It’s So Hard for Me Chapter 896: Chapter 896 It’s So Hard for Me Luo Qiao replied generously, “Just over three months.”
With that, everyone understood and offered their congratulations, watching the young couple leave the family compound.
When the two returned to the Gu family’s home, it was already past ten. Gu Qianru had been waiting at the front door, and as soon as she saw the car coming, she walked out, “I’ve been waiting for your vegetables.”
She finished with a laugh.
While collecting the vegetables, she said, “Your dad and your Big Brother’s family are also coming over, but they might be a bit late.”
Luo Qiao and Lu Yichen also brought meat, chicken, and duck from the space, which Gu Qianru saw and said, “Now we don’t need to go to the market anymore.”
Luo Qiao had also wanted to help, and her morning sickness wasn’t so severe these days, but Lu Yichen wouldn’t let her do anything. Gu Qianru noticed something was up and kept glancing at Luo Qiao.
Lu Yichen looked at his Aunt, “Auntie, it’s exactly what you’re thinking, Qiaoqiao is pregnant now, just over three months.”
Hearing the answer she wanted, Gu Qianru dropped what she was holding and ran over, circling Luo Qiao, “Really pregnant? Then, now don’t stand here, hurry, hurry, go to the living room and sit.”
Luo Qiao said helplessly, “Auntie, my morning sickness isn’t severe now, I’m not that delicate.”
Gu Qianru wouldn’t listen, she helped Luo Qiao to the living room. Old Master Gu happened to come out and saw this commotion, worried something had happened, “What’s going on?”
With excitement, Gu Qianru said, “Dad, Qiaoqiao is pregnant, you’re going to be a great-grandfather.”
Upon hearing he was going to be a great-grandfather, Old Master Gu couldn’t be happier, he had longed for this great-grandson, and this child would carry the Gu family name, “Good, good, good, sit down, sit down quickly.”
Not giving Luo Qiao a chance to speak, Old Master Gu ordered Auntie Tang, “I’ve heard that pregnant women should eat more dried fruits, do we have any? If so, bring some, if not, we will go buy some to keep on hand.”
Old Master Gu slapped his forehead, “Right, I need to seriously think about my great-grandson’s name.”
Hearing this, Luo Qiao felt overwhelmed, “Grandpa, saying that puts pressure on me, what if the baby in my belly is a girl?”
Old Master Gu laughed, “Don’t worry, our family doesn’t prioritize boys over girls, I understand the national family planning policy, whether it’s a boy or a girl, they’re both treasures of our Gu family, please be at ease.”
Lu Yichen also chimed in, “Qiao Bao, what Grandpa means is also what I mean, please don’t overthink it, son or daughter, they’re both our little treasures.”
Auntie Tang brought over some cashews and walnuts, adding some dates, “We only have these at home, I’ll go buy some more later to keep on hand.”
Since Luo Qiao said it had just been three months, Gu Qianru counted on her fingers, “That means the due date is around late March or early April next year, and the confinement period won’t be too hot, this timing is just perfect.”
After chatting for a while longer, Gu Qianru said, “Qiaoqiao, rest for a bit, your Auntie will go make something delicious for you.”
Old Master Gu also went to his study, saying he wanted to think of names for his great-grandson or great-granddaughter.
Lu Yichen happily cracked walnuts for Luo Qiao to eat.
By the time the food was ready, Lu Yixuan had also arrived with his wife and children, and right after they entered, Lu Xinyi arrived too.
Ever since Gu Taoran avenged his grudge and divorced Geng Mingli, he became a frequent guest at the Gu family home, purportedly to keep Old Master Gu company, but in reality, he was alone at home too, and it was livelier here.
Old Master Gu didn’t have much of a grudge against him and thus did not object.
Seeing that the meal was ready, Old Master Gu called everyone to the table before announcing, “I have some good news to share with everyone today.”
Then looking at Luo Qiao, “Our family will soon be welcoming a new member, Qiaoqiao is three months pregnant now.”
Wang Xiaoxin laughed upon hearing this, “That’s great, now Lu Hao won’t bother me anymore.”
Turning to her son, “Didn’t you want a little brother or sister? They are in your aunt’s belly right now, and when they are born, you must be good to them, understand?”
Lu Hao got down from his chair upon hearing his mom’s words, walked towards Luo Qiao, and reached out to touch her belly, “Is my brother or sister really in there?”
Lu Yixuan laughed, “You think we’d lie to you? When the baby brother or sister is born, you’ll have to give them your tasty treats, do you agree?”
Lu Hao pondered for a bit before reluctantly agreeing, “Okay, I’ll give the tasty treats to the baby brother or sister.”
His expression cracked everyone up, then Lu Hao added, “Who asked me to want a brother or sister.”
The room burst into laughter once more, as everyone was charmed by the young boy’s expression and his words. The little guy looked at everyone, puzzled, his face conveying how hard it was for him, which made everyone laugh even more.
