Chapter 818: Gu Xiaobao (16)
When Gu Xiaobao found out that Gu Qingjiu was pregnant again, he was beyond himself.
He had been harping around Gu Qingjiu about his younger sister—of a doll-like younger sister.
But he stopped after a while and even started hating this younger sister.
Because Gu Qingjiu’s pregnancy this time was worrying.
When she was pregnant with Gu Xiaobao, it wasn’t so difficult for Gu Qingjiu. Now, she vomited frequently and became picky with food. There were quite a few foods that she refused to touch.
Retching several times a day became a common sight.
The doctors said that these were common signs of pregnancy and had nothing to do with a person’s health condition.
In other words, no matter how uncomfortable it was, Gu Qingjiu could only endure.
Gu Xiaobao was originally cheery at his mother’s pregnancy. However, when faced with the sight of Mom’s pale complexion as she retched, he cried. “Wahhh… Wuu… I don’t want a younger sister anymore. I don’t want her. She’s not cute at all. She’s making Mom so miserable. Wahh…”
In the end, Gu Qingjiu had to placate Gu Xiaobao. The people around placated Gu Xiaobao as well, saying that the side effects were normal and that she would get better after a while.
They even suggested Gu Xiaobao to treat his mother better since he knew how hard it was for her.
It was a good way to educate a child.
Gu Xiaobao was three and started kindergarten.
Ever since Gu Qingjiu got pregnant, every day after his kindergarten, Gu Xiaobao would bring his mother for a stroll in the garden and cheer her up with things that happened in his school.
He knew that there were times his mother would get so upset that she wouldn’t eat and even had frequent tempers.
Seeing that Gu Qingjiu’s pregnancy symptoms were serious this time around, Helian Niancheng specially allocated his work to others for the next few months. He rushed through countless nights for a month before he could finally rest a.s.sured as he put down his work to return to Penalan to care for Gu Qingjiu.
Qi Yuefeng and others followed as well, making use of both eastern and western methods to take care of Gu Qingjiu.
Gu Qingjiu felt distinctly off after getting pregnant, but she just couldn’t stop herself.
She would get angry randomly, but it was not because she wanted to. There was just an unbearable pressure pressing on her heart.
As much as she tried to calm herself, the words she said were often aggressive.
But with Xiaobao always by her side, Gu Qingjiu tried her best to hold it in and to remind herself that it would pa.s.s in time.
Everyone knew that this pregnancy was hard on Gu Qingjiu and speculated that it might be a baby girl.
There was technology in the country to check for the baby’s gender, but Gu Qingjiu didn’t go. She wanted to go with the flow. Either gender was good.
But Qi Yuefeng and the rest antic.i.p.ated that it would be a girl.
It was such a fierce temperament, that it even affected her mother.
After five to six months, when the baby b.u.mp got bigger, Gu Qingjiu felt better.
Gu Xiaobao was slowly growing up. It felt quite good to have time to spend time with her son.
Many times, the family of three would go out for strolls together. That sight was exceptionally beautiful. The three of them holding hands, with one more in her stomach.
Those were the rare moments when Gu Qingjiu felt calm.
Until the date of childbirth.
It was a normal day. Gu Qingjiu was eating dessert when she felt a sudden pain in her stomach.
After giving birth once, she naturally knew what was going to happen and immediately called for people to send her to the hospital.
