Chapter 815: Chapter 816: Debt to the Wife Chapter 815: Chapter 816: Debt to the Wife Meng Yunhan saw his sincere attitude and let out a light chuckle, “Of course that’s good.”
Meng Yunhan then told him about some changes Zihan might experience during her pregnancy, such as mood swings, which are due to the pregnancy.
And there were certain foods to avoid.
Being pregnant, she couldn’t eat seafood.
She could eat more fruits and vegetables, however.
With the pregnancy, she might also experience morning sickness.
Lu Jianjun learned for the first time that being pregnant really wasn’t a simple matter.
He remembered that when the Battalion Commander found out his sister-in-law was pregnant, he still wasn’t by her side taking care of her, and on the day Little Huzi was born, the Battalion Commander nearly died on a mission to save him.
“In any case, now that Zihan is pregnant with your child, you should be more considerate of her. Why don’t you think of it this way: if you had to carry around a big belly like that for ten months, imagine what that would feel like. Put yourself in Zihan’s shoes more often, be tolerant when she gets inexplicably irritable. If there’s anything you don’t understand, you can always come and ask me. I’m here to answer any questions at any time.”
Lu Jianjun kept all of this very clear in his mind.
“Sister-in-law, thank you. I’ll be troubling you from now on. As you know, Zihan is far from her parental home, and my mother has also passed away. Now in Kyoto, besides you and Zihao, she has no other friends,” he said.
Meng Yunhan noticed that Lu Jianjun had matured a bit.
“Zihan and I are good friends, and you and Ahao are good brothers. We are all family. There’s no trouble at all,” she reassured.
After Lu Jianjun left, Meng Yunhan returned to her office.
After leaving the food factory, Lu Jianjun immediately went to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy fruits, and he spent a good sum of money buying some food and fruits for Liu Zihan.
Since it was the weekend, Liu Zihan was lying in bed, though it was Lu Jianjun who insisted she stay in bed. ɴᴇᴡ ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀʀᴇ ᴘᴜʙʟɪsʜᴇᴅ ᴏɴ 𝔫𝔬𝔳𝔢𝔩•𝗳𝗂𝗋𝖾•𝕟𝕖𝕥
“Why did you buy so much stuff?” she asked.
Such a big bag must have cost a lot of money?
“Wife, we can store these, and now that you’re pregnant, you definitely can’t starve. If there’s anything uncomfortable, you must tell me. During this period, I’ll apply for a suspension of missions to come home and see you every day,” he said.
Before Liu Zihan could say anything, Lu Jianjun added, “Wife, whatever you want to eat, you must tell me.”
Being so nice to her all of a sudden?
“Wife, try this and see how it tastes,” Lu Jianjun said as he peeled an apple for Liu Zihan.
The next day, Lu Jianjun went back to the army. At lunchtime, he brought up the pregnancy with Yun Hao.
“Commander, I went to ask sister-in-law yesterday, and I only then realized that pregnancy is not easy,” he said.
Lu Jianjun repeated what Meng Yunhan had told him the day before.
Yun Hao didn’t respond, but looked into the distance. He didn’t know, he didn’t have the time to be with his wife back then. Only during the New Year’s holiday, when he returned home to see his wife with a big belly, even though she wore a cotton-padded jacket that somewhat concealed her belly, it was still evident that she faced some difficulties.
After hearing all that Lu Jianjun said, Yun Hao suddenly felt a sourness in his nose. He felt he owed his wife.
Initially, he had thought that since his wife had her parents and brother and sister-in-law to take care of her at home, from her pregnancy to giving birth, he was not there for even a month in total.
His wife went through ten months of pregnancy to give birth to Xiaohu, yet he hadn’t been by her side for nine of those months, which was unfair to her. This was especially so after he heard from Lu Jianjun about the pregnancy precautions that his wife had mentioned.
At that time, he truly didn’t know, and while he was a bit worried for his wife, he had really thought that pregnancy wasn’t such a complex issue. But now it was different; realizing how hard it was made him feel guilty for letting his wife go through it alone.
