Chapter 70: She’s Pregnant!

She could not send the same thing every time. She wanted to come up with different things to send over in order to express her feelings for Xia Zhe through the contents of the jars. In this way, he would also not get tired of her gestures.

Also, she could not always send meat products as it may attract unnecessary attention.

After she sent off her parcel, she took out the letter. The handwriting on it was very nice.

Hello, comrade Qiao Mei.

I have received all four jars of sauce. It is very delicious and I prefer the spicy one.

I hope you won’t send me such expensive things in the future. Save the money to buy nice food for Grandpa. Everything is fine here.

In the future, I will send all my salary to you. Make sure to collect it every month.

Xia Zhe.

…

There was nothing extraordinary about the letter and it was very concise, but she smiled happily like a kitten that had stolen a fish.

She was glad that he had replied.

Moreover, he even said that he would send his salary to her and did not stop her from spending the money. How nice of him!

…

A few days later, in the training camp.

“Commander Xia, your parcel is here,” the soldier shouted from the door.

In an instant, three black figures appeared at Xia Zhe’s door, waiting for the parcel to be opened.

Xia Zhe opened the door and took the parcel with a glance at them.

The three of them stopped their actions and looked on eagerly.

“Big brother, we’ll share half of what we see!” Zhuang Hua said.

Zhao Wu, on the other hand, was unhappy and tried suggesting, “Big brother, this parcel looks similar to the previous one. There will probably be four jars. Why don’t we just take one each instead of splitting in half? It’s so troublesome to fight over it.”

They had been eating the sauce for a few days. It was so delicious that the three men had fallen completely under its spell.

“Do you think I want to share with you?”

Xia Zhe glared at them sideways.

He also did not expect the sauce made by Qiao Mei to be so delicious. If he had a meal without the sauce, it felt as if something was missing.

“Big brother, don’t be petty. We’ll only be sharing the sauce with you for a short while. But you’ll be spending the rest of your life with sister-in-law and eating it for the rest of your life. You can’t draw that kind of line with us!” Zhuang Hua said.

Xia Zhe was taken aback by what he said. It did make sense.

He continued to share two jars with the three of them.

After the three of them took the two jars, they went into the room together to split the loot. However, they felt a little disappointed when they opened the jars and realized that it was not the same sauce from the last time.

But when they leaned over to take a sniff, they realized that it was still something very fragrant.

The three of them picked up their chopsticks for a taste and found out that it was indeed very delicious. They started fighting for food again, this time over the pickled vegetables.

…

Xia Zhe returned to his room and placed the jars in the cabinet as usual.

Then, he carefully took out the letter from the parcel. The words were as neat as before, but the handwriting looked much better than before.

There’s improvement!

Xia Zhe curled his lips in a smile of relief and turned his attention back to the contents of the letter. Then, he read something that caused him to freeze on the spot.

Brother Xia Zhe, I’m having our baby.

These words caused Xia Zhe to be rooted to the ground. He rubbed his eyes and looked at the letter in disbelief.

Hello, brother Xia Zhe.

Recently, I’ve had a poor appetite. Sometimes, I feel like throwing up when I smell certain dishes and I also lost a lot of weight. The aunties in the village all say that I am pregnant.

I am not sure if you will be as glad as me, but I am very happy that I am going to have a baby. I do not know if the baby will turn out to be more like me or more like you.

A cuddly little child must be very cute.

If we have a boy, he would definitely be as handsome as you. If we have a girl, she would definitely be her mother’s little sweetheart. I am so looking forward to it.

I do not mind having either a boy or a girl, but I am not sure if you would mind having a girl. Do you prefer boys over girls?

I’m a little worried about that. Boohoo.

I do not know anything about giving birth and taking care of a child. The aunties in the village have worked out for me that the due date is likely to be sometime in January next year. By then, the weather will be so cold and I do not know how our baby will be able to take it. I am so scared!
