Transmigrated as Cannon Fodder — I Rise to Female Lead Through Hard Work-Chapter 214: Pregnant

"I’m just a bit anxious, do you think your parents will like me?" Ding Anguo asked nervously, a trace of unease in his eyes as he looked at Feng Lishu.

Seeing this, Feng Lishu softened inside, stepped forward, and took Ding Anguo’s wrist, "Don’t worry, my parents are very kind people, you’re so great, how could they not like you; besides, I like you so much, they will definitely like you too."

Feng Lishu said the latter part in a quiet voice, but Ding Anguo still heard it, his heart stirred. Although he knew Feng Lishu had a good impression of him, it was the first time she openly said she liked him. He couldn’t contain his smile, "I like you very much too."

Feng Lishu was stunned on the spot, "You, what did you say?"

"Ah? No, nothing." Ding Anguo’s face flushed red, making Feng Lishu rest her head lightly on his shoulder, her heartbeat faster than usual.

"Say it again, and I’ll give you a treat," Feng Lishu tempted.

A treat? A dessert? Ding Anguo didn’t really understand but leaned in close to her ear and whispered that he liked her, then felt a warm touch flit over his lips like a dragonfly skimming water.

Feng Lishu, in her shyness, quickly let go and walked ahead, starting to introduce the power plant indiscriminately.

Today was a day off, the plant was pretty much empty, and it was because of this that Feng Lishu dared to make a move, but it was also because she was stirred by Ding Anguo today. Someone who knew nothing suddenly seemed so skilled; how could she not like him?

When they arrived at the house entrance, Feng Lishu lightly patted her face, while Ding Anguo looked down at his clothes, smoothing out the creased parts.

Feng Lishu pushed the door open, and Ding Anguo followed closely with his bicycle.

"Dad, Mom, we’re here." As the two walked into the living room, Feng Guolun and Ruan Qingru were sitting on the sofa. Seeing the two, smiles appeared on their faces.

Ruan Qingru had secretly seen Ding Anguo before, but it was Feng Guolun’s first time. He was surprised to see how tall and handsome Ding Anguo was, carrying an air of scholarly charm.

Feng Guolun was surprised, if he didn’t know Ding Anguo was from a rural background, he would think he was a well-cultivated child from a wealthy family.

Ruan Qingru looked at Ding Anguo with satisfaction in her eyes. Having seen him secretly, she could understand why her daughter liked him.

Yi Roujing had no interest in paying attention to others now; her focus was entirely on her belly. Another week had passed, and she still hadn’t had her period. She took her own pulse, and the symptoms of a slippery pulse were becoming more apparent. She was really pregnant. How amazing. Yi Roujing touched her stomach with a tender, unaware smile.

Ding Ancheng took Yi Roujing directly to see a traditional Chinese medicine doctor this time, who confirmed that Yi Roujing was pregnant, about six weeks, over a month now. The fetus was very stable, and Yi Roujing was quite healthy, so the doctor advised her to eat and drink without worries, which reassured her.

Once it was confirmed, it was a relief for her.

Ding Weihuo and Li Hongying had been staying in the county for a week. After the double harvest, they had a short break but planned to return in a few days to start planting again.

Before they left, Ding Ancheng shared the good news of Yi Roujing’s pregnancy, leaving them both stunned. Once it sank in, Li Hongying was overjoyed, pulling Yi Roujing aside to share her pregnancy experiences.

Ding Weihuo was thrilled too, patting Ding Ancheng on the shoulder. There wasn’t much he needed to say to his eldest son, as he was never a cause for worry. "Oh, and don’t forget to share this good news with your biological father, let him share in the joy." 𝘧𝓇𝑒𝑒𝑤ℯ𝑏𝓃𝘰𝑣ℯ𝘭.𝘤ℴ𝘮

For Xu Zongyin, Ding Weihuo felt a sense of sympathy. Living alone all these years without knowing how he managed, it must have taken a strong heart to endure. He admired him more.

"Alright, I’ll call him tomorrow," Ding Ancheng chuckled.

Yi Roujing’s pregnancy brought a wave of joy to the Ding Family. Ding Anmin was ecstatic, repeatedly mentioning how she would be an aunt soon, and treated Yi Roujing even better. She made sure Yi Roujing didn’t do any housework and often brought home-cooked meals, finding the cafeteria food unappetizing compared to her homemade dishes.

Ding Ancheng started asking colleagues and friends to bring fruit, knowing Yi Roujing liked it. Now she was eating for two, so the amount increased significantly, with Ding Anmin and others benefiting from the abundance.

This wonderful news was something Yi Roujing shared with friends. When sending parcels or writing letters to Hu Heping and Yuan Xiangyu, she mentioned it. After all, Hu Heping had mentioned several times that her son’s barely worn clothes were saved especially for Yi Roujing, and she kept urging her to inform if there were any developments in her pregnancy.

Yi Roujing’s pregnancy had not caused any noticeable changes, except perhaps a larger appetite, leading colleagues who had been mothers to easily guess and ask if she was pregnant.

Yi Roujing just smiled without confirming, but the colleagues understood and quietly congratulated her.

The old saying advises to wait until after three months to publicly announce a pregnancy, avoiding early announcements to everyone. So only close ones knew the truth.

However, the news of Yi Roujing’s pregnancy did spread among colleagues, even if not directly from Yi Roujing, but once one person knew, it was hard not to tell another, eventually leading everyone to know.

Fan Yuanrong even sought out Yi Roujing to ask if she wanted to stay out of the operating room during this period.

Yi Roujing understood Fan Yuanrong’s thoughts, partly out of concern, but also wanting to give other nurses more opportunities. After saving a patient from near death after a bicycle accident, many surgeons requested Yi Roujing in the operating room.

The idea of concern not being scarcity but inequality made Fan Yuanrong, as the head nurse, want to offer more chances for others. Practical experience is necessary for progress, and she subtly suggested Yi Roujing could let others have opportunities since she was so skilled.

But Fan Yuanrong could say this to Yi Roujing but couldn’t propose it to the doctors, as ensuring successful surgeries required the lead surgeon having the greatest say in personnel.

However, now that Yi Roujing was pregnant, things were different. Fan Yuanrong’s suggestion was immediately accepted by Yi Roujing, knowing that not agreeing might sour her relationship with the head nurse.

Thus, Yi Roujing’s days at work became a time to nurture her pregnancy.

"Roujing, how do you manage to be so precise and fast in handling surgical instruments for the doctors?" Guo Xiangxiang, a twenty-year-old girl not yet married, had been a surgical nurse for two years but only recently got opportunities in the operating room.

Guo Xiangxiang’s performance in the operating room had been average, without any faults, just a bit slow.
