CHAPTER 281: CHAPTER 281 TOO EXCITED TO SLEEP

Madam Jiang really wanted to hold her grandchildren, but the child’s mother is Shen Qingqing.

As a grandma, there’s no reason to compete with the child’s mother for the kid.

No matter how much she loves the child, she can’t bypass Shen Qingqing; Madam Jiang knows this well.

Being a mother-in-law is also a kind of cultivation.

In the past, Madam Jiang always favored her own son, which led to many mistakes.

She later realized that if she truly wanted the best for her son, she should treat everyone fairly and not interfere between her son and daughter-in-law.

Criticize whoever is wrong.

She also shouldn’t use her elder status to force her daughter-in-law to compromise for her son.

If she doesn’t know what to do, it’s better not to do anything at all.

Without elders meddling, young people might manage life better!

This wisdom is something Madam Jiang only figured out in the past few years.

She also realized how unfair she was to her daughter-in-law in the past.

As the family reunited, she wanted to be a pleasant mother-in-law.

She discussed with Shen Qingqing what kind of clothes to make for the child, what kind of socks to sew.

Shen Qingqing is skillful, she can make clothes, knit sweaters... she can do everything.

It’s just that now, she’s busy with work and doesn’t have time for these things.

"We also need to prepare hats in advance, you can choose them at the mall. By the time you finish your confinement, the weather will turn cold again, and we’ll need to prepare some thicker clothes for the little baby, and also small quilts and pillows..."

Madam Jiang continued talking, listing many things.

"Let’s see when you’re free, we’ll go buy some cotton and fabric."

Shen Qingqing also felt that some things should be prepared gradually.

"Next Sunday."

"Alright, let’s go shopping every now and then, buy whatever is suitable when we see it."

Madam Jiang felt emotional, "Nowadays, the conditions are getting better and better, kids can enjoy life, not like when you were little, you went through many hardships."

Shen Qingqing patted her mother-in-law’s hand, "The future will be even better, we must take care of ourselves so we can enjoy life better in the future."

Madam Jiang smiled, "Being able to take care of the child at home is enjoying life for me."

Two years ago, who would have dared to dream of such good days now?

She even thought Zhixun might remain a bachelor forever...

While the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law talked, Jiang Zhixun swiftly worked in the kitchen, quickly wrapping dumplings neatly and putting them in the fridge.

After tidying the kitchen, he washed his hands then called Shen Qingqing to go upstairs to wash up and sleep.

Though many things were still undecided, Madam Jiang had occupied Shen Qingqing for a long time, and it would not be good to further cut into the couples’ time together.

"I’ll make a list later, when you wake up tomorrow morning, look at what else needs to be added and include them."

Shen Qingqing couldn’t help but laugh, "Don’t rush, there’s still plenty of time before the baby is born, we can prepare slowly."

Madam Jiang also knew she shouldn’t rush, but she couldn’t control herself.

She probably won’t be able to sleep out of excitement tonight!

Waving her hand, "Don’t mind me, go do your things."

Then she reminded Jiang Zhixun, "Take good care of Qingqing, don’t be silly like before, she’s a pregnant woman now."

Jiang Zhixun had never taken care of a pregnant woman, but he knew how to treat his wife well.

He touched his nose, "You have an early rest."

Then he led Shen Qingqing upstairs.

From bathing to bed, Shen Qingqing didn’t have to do anything herself; Jiang Zhixun did everything for her.

Drying her hair, applying moisturizer... he was handling it all.

Jiang Zhixun had done these things for Shen Qingqing before, so he was quite adept at it now, serving Shen Qingqing comfortably.

Once her hair was dry, she was almost falling asleep in a stupor.

Jiang Zhixun squatted by the bed watching Shen Qingqing, no matter how long he looked, it wasn’t enough.

Her skin was fair and rosy, her features were delicate and beautiful, and when combined, she looked impossibly attractive no matter the angle.

Thinking there was a child in her belly carrying both of their bones and blood, felt even more amazing.

In the future, there will be a soft little child who calls him daddy and Qingqing mommy.

Imagining such scenes, Jiang Zhixun couldn’t help but smile.

He leaned over to kiss Shen Qingqing’s forehead.

Every day with her felt blissful.

He had already had such good days, but unfortunately, he had made mistakes at the time.

From now onwards, he must cherish them.

Life is short and can’t bear any waste.

He kissed Shen Qingqing’s forehead then sneaked his hand to touch her belly.

Through the thin fabric, he felt like there was a barrier between him and the child.

His slender fingers slipped under the hem of her pajamas.

The palm settled on Shen Qingqing’s lower abdomen, skin touching skin, finally satisfied.

He couldn’t feel anything, but Jiang Zhixun just wanted to touch, thinking it was building affection with the child.

Shen Qingqing slightly opened her eyes, glanced at Jiang Zhixun.

"Aren’t you sleeping?"

"I am."

"Then why are you dawdling?"

Jiang Zhixun said warmly, "Don’t mind me, I’m just building a relationship with the child."

It’s said pregnancy makes you silly for three years, Shen Qingqing thought it was quite true.

But the one being silly was none other than their own Jiang Zhixun.

Somewhat helpless, "It’s still too early, building affection in two months won’t be late."

Jiang Zhixun smiled, "No way, I can’t lose at the starting line. You’re with the child every day, I rarely accompany it, if I don’t seize the opportunity, what if it doesn’t like me in the future?"

"You think too much."

This is their child, how could he not think a lot?

Love everything related to the house, he would love this child a lot.

Of course, he hoped the child would like him as a dad too.

He kissed Shen Qingqing’s stomach, the smile in Jiang Zhixun’s eyes intensified.

He still couldn’t believe he was about to be a father.

"I don’t even know if it’s a boy or a girl. If it’s a boy, it might resemble you; a girl might resemble me. There’s an old saying that sons take after their mothers, daughters take after their fathers..."

Once he started talking, he couldn’t stop.

From the child’s gender, to the child’s looks, then to naming the child.

"It’s best to blend our names, so that once people hear they’ll know it’s our child."

Shen Qingqing’s mouth twitched, "You’re so cliché, the child might be annoyed in the future."

"It won’t."

Jiang Zhixun was confident, "With loving parents, the child will only feel happiness."

Finding him annoying, Shen Qingqing turned over, rolled to the inside of the bed with the blanket.

"If you keep disturbing my sleep, you’ll sleep in the guest room tonight."

Sleeping in separate rooms, that’s impossible.

As long as they’re together, they’ll never sleep separately!

Jiang Zhixun didn’t dare make a sound, until Shen Qingqing fell asleep deeply, only then he quietly exhaled.

He checked the time; it was already late.

Earlier, he had also showered.

But his clothes were still in the bathroom, he needed to wash them quickly.

His wife was clean and couldn’t stand seeing dirty clothes piled in the basin.

He couldn’t stand it either.

Things for the day must be completed within the day, or else he couldn’t sleep soundly.

Jiang Zhixun quietly left the bedroom, closed the door.

While washing clothes, he planned in his head to go to the bookstore to buy some books on learning how to take care of pregnant women and babies.

Prepare in advance, so as not to mess up at critical moments.
