Married to Officer, Pregnant Specialist becomes the Winner!-Chapter 243 - 242: Now There’s Another Baby on the Way
Gu Jia Ning loves to look pretty, and she especially likes to dress up; she particularly loves hairpins.
Whenever she encounters a different or beautiful hairpin, she always collects them.
In the past, her family would help her collect hairpins.
Now that she’s married, it’s her husband that helps her collect hairpins.
Now, Gu Jia Ning has a full box of hairpins collected from childhood to adulthood.
Sheng Zexi remembers the casual words Gu Jia Ning once said: "Wearing a different beautiful hairpin every day puts you in a good mood."
Gu Jia Ning said this casually.
But Sheng Zexi took it to heart from then on, and whether it was Gu Jia Ning’s birthday or a New Year’s gift, he would always give her different hairpins.
And it’s clear that Gu Jia Ning is also happy about it.
When someone remembers your offhand remarks and acts on them, who wouldn’t be pleased and moved?
"Come, let me put it on you."
"Wearing a new hairpin for the New Year, my Ningning will have a good mood all year and good fortune."
"Alright."
Gu Jia Ning leaned forward, and Sheng Zexi helped her take off the previous hairpin and put on the new one.
"How is it, does it look good?"
"It looks good. My wife is the most beautiful."
Gu Jia Ning covered her mouth and laughed, "I was asking if I looked good! I meant the hairpin, does it look good?"
Sheng Zexi gazed at her, his eyes full of tenderness, "It looks good; the hairpin looks good, and you look even better."
Gu Jia Ning covered her mouth, smiling even more happily.
It finally dispelled today’s gloom of not being able to return to her hometown.
"Tomorrow, let’s take Xingxing Yueyue and Grandpa and Grandma to take photos together," Gu Jia Ning suggested.
"Alright."
Sheng Zexi never said no to Gu Jia Ning’s requests.
Just then, a voice suddenly rang out.
Immediately, a big bunch of fireworks bloomed in the starlight, adorning the night sky even more splendidly.
"Ningning, Happy New Year."
"Hmm, Happy New Year."
Amidst the fireworks and firecrackers, the year 75 crossed over to 76.
Everything is a fresh start.
On the first day of the New Year, after breakfast, the whole family drove to the photo studio in town.
The couple, one holding Xingxing and the other holding Yueyue.
Grandpa Sang, Grandma Sang sat in front.
"Good, just like that, don’t move, three, two, one..."
...
"Good, just like that, don’t move, three, two, one, click."
"It’s taken."
The photo froze in that moment.
Xingxing and Yueyue, who were sitting on Sheng Zexi and Gu Jia Ning’s laps, also got down.
"Dad, Mom, let’s go to the department store quickly~" As soon as she got down, Yueyue chirped, urging Gu Jia Ning and Sheng Zexi to head towards the department store.
Although Xingxing didn’t say anything, there was a look of anticipation on his usually expressionless face.
"Alright, let’s go then."
Thus, Xingxing and Yueyue held hands, while Gu Jia Ning and Sheng Zexi each held one of their small hands, and their little family of four headed to the department store.
Gu Jia Ning’s gaze fell on the two little ones trotting with their short legs.
Her eyes grew tender with warmth.
Time always passes quickly on children.
In the blink of an eye, it is already September 77. The two little ones who could only sit and were just a few months old back then are now 2 years and 4 months old and can not only walk but also talk.
Xingxing, following his nature, speaks less and only when necessary.
While Yueyue is a chatterbox.
As the children grow, Gu Jia Ning matures through time, becoming more beautiful, with a gentle tenderness unique to mothers.
Crossing from the New Year of 75 to 76, due to heavy snow blocking the road, Gu Jia Ning couldn’t return to her hometown.
Crossing from the New Year of 76 to 77, due to a large-scale epidemic, Gu Jia Ning joined the frontline of epidemic prevention and celebrated that New Year treating and saving people, so she couldn’t go home.
And now, it’s already September of 77.
"Time really flies," Gu Jia Ning marveled.
It seems like just yesterday; she was reborn, and now, she and Sheng Zexi have been married for some years and have two adorable children.
And now, there’s another one in her belly.
Just found out, only two months.
"This year should be our last time taking photos here," Gu Jia Ning sighed.
Beside her, Sheng Zexi responded with a "Hmm."
Gu Jia Ning’s gaze fell on him. Two years had made this man even more mature and steady.
Of course, the authoritative air of a military man on him also deepened.
However, he was still so tender when facing family.
Grandpa Sang returned to Beijing after the spring of 76.
After all, he still had work and couldn’t rest for too long.
Grandma Sang returned to Beijing when the two children were over a year old.
It wasn’t practical to let Grandpa and Grandma be separated for too long.
After Grandma Sang left, Gu Jia Ning hired an aunt to look after the two children.
That aunt was the mother-in-law of a family within the residential compound.
Since her grandchildren were quite grown and didn’t need her care anymore, and she couldn’t stand idleness, she came after knowing Gu Jia Ning’s need.
Fortunately, both children were quite easy to care for and very adorable. The aunt immediately grew fond of them. 𝒻𝑟ℯℯ𝑤𝑒𝑏𝑛𝘰𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝒸𝑜𝘮
Now that aunt treats them as if they are her own grandchildren.
"Will you miss this place?" Sheng Zexi looked at her, his eyes gentle.
"Of course, I will."
The reason it’s said that this is the last time taking photos here is that Sheng Zexi is about to be transferred from the Northwest Military Region.
He’s being transferred to an island in the eastern part of the country, near Guangzhou, to work and undertake tasks with the navy there.
Sheng Zexi’s superior said this is considered a transition.
Going to this island would take at most a year.
A year later, it’s estimated Sheng Zexi could be transferred to Beijing.
Since Sheng Zexi is getting transferred to the island, naturally, Gu Jia Ning will be going too.
So, she’s presently also handling the paperwork.
She plans to take the children and follow the army to the island, so naturally, working here at the Northwest Military Region Hospital isn’t feasible anymore.
She can only resign.
However, this news is currently known only to Elder Chen and her colleagues; her patients aren’t aware.
Within the residential compound, only a few close friends know.
Others are unaware too.
It’s feared that if people find out, it might cause a stir.
After all, during her years working at the Northwest Military Region, Gu Jia Ning has saved many lives and served countless times as the "Guanyin," creating very good relationships with people.
This time, many people are hard for her to bid farewell.
Like her master Elder Chen, best friend Sister Shu Wan, and Jiang Baihe, several military wives in the residence.
But...
There’s no such thing as a banquet that doesn’t end.
Sheng Zexi seemed to notice Gu Jia Ning’s melancholy, walked over, took her hand, and comforted her, "Don’t be too sad; with farewells come the joy of reunions."
