Fang Pingying smiled at Yu’er, "Forget it, don’t argue with her. After all, she’s your sister-in-law, and you have only one brother. Arguing all day makes things difficult for your big brother."
When Yu’er mentioned her big brother, she didn’t say much, just shook her head and sighed, "Ah, my big brother is afraid of his wife, I don’t even want to talk about him."
While they were talking, voices came from outside. They looked out from the doorway and saw Cheng Fei calling over his mother-in-law.
Cheng Fei’s mother-in-law is a midwife, quite calm having seen many women give birth. After greeting everyone, she went to see Yu Fen.
Just as Luo Zhiyong had called Zhou Yunmei and others over and was looking for Fang Pingying, he saw Fang Pingying peeking out from the kitchen, he smiled lightly and strode towards the kitchen.
Seeing Luo Zhiyong coming, Yu’er winked at Fang Pingying and then left.
Luo Zhiyong came over and asked with a smile, "What are you hiding here for?"
Fang Pingying walked over to the stove and pointed at the boiling water, "Yu Fen is giving birth, isn’t hot water needed? Second Aunt asked Yu’er and me to help boil the water."
While they were talking, screams from Yu Fen began to emanate from the house, becoming louder and more panic-inducing.
Luo Zhiyong glanced at Fang Pingying with a worried expression, "Maybe you shouldn’t stay here, go back home. Yu Fen’s screams might give you a trauma when it’s time for you to give birth."
If Fang Pingying hadn’t given birth before, she might have been truly scared, but having given birth, she no longer feared the process.
She shook her head, smiling, "Getting used to it a bit would be good, to be mentally prepared when it’s my turn."
Luo Zhiyong, not understanding how terrifying childbirth could be, thought Fang Pingying’s idea made sense.
After waiting a while, he heard the screams from the other room getting louder and became worried, "The child should be born soon, right? I think Yu Fen has been screaming for a long time."
It had been less than twenty minutes.
Fang Pingying smiled, "Definitely not, some people struggle for a whole day, let’s see how she does."
Luo Zhiyong showed a very horrified expression, then looked at Fang Pingying’s belly and said, "When it’s your time to give birth, you better not come back here, have it in the hospital with doctors around, I would feel more at ease. Otherwise, with you screaming , it would be terrifying to listen to."
After hearing this, Fang Pingying looked at him reproachfully, "Someone who has experienced gunfire and explosions on the battlefield, and you’re scared of this?"
"On the battlefield it’s not comparable to a woman giving birth; we can control things on the battlefield, I can’t control this, I can only worry, it’s definitely different." At this moment, Luo Zhiyong thought childbirth was far more terrifying than being on the battlefield.
Fang Pingying looked at his exaggerated reaction, laughed, and scolded, "Idiot."
Yu Fen’s first childbirth was actually quick; she started experiencing labor pains after dinner and by 10 o’clock at night, the child was born, a son, mother and son both healthy.
After Qiu Xiu and others bathed the baby, Zhou Yunmei immediately called Fang Pingying to the next room, telling her to touch the baby to rub off some luck, hoping she would also give birth to a healthy baby boy.
Fang Pingying glanced at her, didn’t say a word, played with the child for a bit, then returned with Luo Zhiyong and others.
Back at home, the couple was about to go to sleep when Zhou Yunmei stopped them, "Zhiyong, you come to this room to sleep, the bedding is all ready for you."
Luo Zhiyong, resigned, glanced at Fang Pingying and had to go next door.
Zhou Yunmei went to Luo Cuilan’s room, while Luo Honglan brought bedding to come sleep in Fang Pingying’s room.
Luo Honglan loves children, and seeing Yu Fen have a child, she was thrilled. She and Fang Pingying slept on the kang and reached into Fang Pingying’s blanket to touch her belly, laughing, "Little one, come out soon, and Auntie will take you out to play everywhere."
Fang Pingying chuckled and glanced at her, "Silly girl, what do you mean, come out soon? Coming out too soon would mean being premature, he’ll come out when it’s time."
Luo Honglan realized she had misspoken and giggled.
The two sisters-in-law hadn’t slept together for a long time and talked until late into the night.
During this time, it was customary to set off firecrackers before bed on New Year’s Eve and after waking up on the first day. They had barely fallen asleep when the fireworks outside were nonstop.
The two barely slept all night and were woken up early the next day by Zhou Yunmei, who said it was good to get up early on the first day of the New Year.
Luo Honglan always woke up early and upon hearing noises outside, quickly got dressed and went out.
Since becoming pregnant, Fang Pingying had become lazy, and in addition to being tired from the past few days at home, she lay in bed for a while before sitting up intending to get up.
Just as she was struggling to get dressed, Luo Zhiyong happened to walk into the room.
Seeing her sitting on the bed yawning, Luo Zhiyong came over and sat on the edge of the kang, holding her and asking, "Did the fireworks last night keep you from sleeping well?"
Leaning against him, Fang Pingying gently nodded and looked sleepy.
Fang Pingying was only wearing a thin undergarment while sleeping, and now leaning against Luo Zhiyong, her neckline was wide open.
From Luo Zhiyong’s angle, he could see everything inside her clothes. It had been a long time since they had been intimate, and Luo Zhiyong immediately tensed up, his throat starting to feel dry.
He couldn’t help but lower his head and kiss her on the neck.
It was only intended as a light kiss, but as soon as his lips touched Fang Pingying’s skin, Luo Zhiyong couldn’t resist going further down, leaving a trail of tender kisses on her neck, her chest...
Fang Pingying was just waking up, still somewhat dazed, leaning in his arms letting him kiss her, and involuntarily let out a series of soft moans, which truly stimulated Luo Zhiyong, sending all his blood rushing to a certain place below, making it unbearable for him.
Luo Zhiyong began to breathe heavily uncontrollably, his hand also wandering inside her neckline...
It’s unclear whether it was a coincidence, or if Zhou Yunmei had been keeping watch, but just as the two were getting lost in each other, Zhou Yunmei suddenly yelled from outside, "Pingying, Zhiyong, what are you doing in there, get up quick, I made sugar water eggs, it’s for nourishing you, come out and eat."
Hearing this, Fang Pingying’s body jerked, and she instantly snapped to her senses.
Almost reflexively, she pushed Luo Zhiyong away.
Luo Zhiyong had simply sat on the edge of the kang when he entered, and not paying attention, was pushed off and fell onto the floor.
Seeing this, Fang Pingying couldn’t help but laugh inappropriately.
Luo Zhiyong, looking quite embarrassed as he got up from the ground, pinched Fang Pingying’s face in annoyance, "You still laugh, if you break me, your life is over."
Done, and extremely impatiently, he shouted back to Zhou Yunmei outside, "Got it, coming out now."
Luo Zhiyong was really feeling suffocated, looking at Fang Pingying angrily and said, "Let’s leave as soon as possible, better tomorrow, I can’t stand these days."
Seeing his angered yet embarrassed look, Fang Pingying couldn’t help but start laughing again. (To be continued.
