Parsed with an automated reader. The content accuracy is not guranteed.

After entering March, Wang Licheng was very nervous every

day; no longer going to Jiangcheng, and rarely going to the factory.

The due date is early April, and Xiao Hongyan's belly is

already bulging like a ball. The person has also become lazy, sleeps longer,

eats more and doesn’t like to exercise.

Wang Licheng wanted to take her out for a walk after dinner,

but she refused. She was only willing to go out when it was dark.

Wang Licheng is now at home and doesn't go out very often,

so Xiao Hongyan doesn't need to look after the store. She didn't even go

downstairs without looking at the store, and stayed in the room all day.

"Hongyan, what's the matter with you?" He wondered

if Xiao Hongyan suffered from prenatal depression. When things go wrong, there

must be demons.

"It's okay; I just don't want to go out." She was

so fat now that the flesh on her face was about to fall to her chin. She had

gained several pounds of weight, and she was really shameful.

She thought about losing weight, but she was afraid that it

would be bad for her children, and her mother-in-law always made soup for her

to drink. She was very troubled, afraid that Wang Licheng would not like her

when she looked at her now, so she simply hid in the room and did not go out to

meet people.

"Why don't you want to go out? It's good for the child

to go out properly." He didn't understand. When Xiao Hongyan didn't want

to move before, he said this, and she would go out with him.

Now it's useless to say anything, she only wants to go out

when it's dark, and she'll be back after a few minutes' walk. Now that he

didn't have a wife’s opinion, he didn't dare to ask his mother and sister; for

fear that they would have a judgment on Xiao Hongyan.

"Let's go out at night. I'll walk for five more minutes

today." She didn't like being pointed at when she and Wang Licheng went

out together, especially after she became pregnant and ugly.

"Hongyan, can you tell me why you don't want to go out

during the day." She didn't even want to go downstairs, he was really

afraid that Xiao Hongyan would suffer from depression.

He has been here for several years, and he has not heard of

the profession of psychiatrist. If she is really sick, there is not even a

place to treat her.

"Wang Licheng, do you hate me when I'm like this

now?" She has a bad temper now, looks ugly, her whole person has changed,

and she even hates herself like this.

The crux of the original issue; isn't the sense of security

he gave Xiao Hongyan not enough? Every day, he waited for Xiao Hongyan to fall

asleep before going to the factory, not to mention Jiangcheng.

"No, whatever you become you are my wife, and I will

like whatever you look like." He pressed his forehead lightly against Xiao

Hongyan's forehead, and his mouth spit out affectionate words.

Wang Licheng's words made her cry.

"But I hate myself like this. I've become fat and ugly,

and I'm always angry with you. How can you like it?" He must have lied to

her. She asked for this relationship, and he would accept her. What he saw was

her appearance. Now that she has become ugly, how could Wang Licheng still like

her?

"Xiao Hongyan, listen, no matter what you become, I

like it." Domineering words rushed out, and then kissed Xiao Hongyan's

lips forcefully.

Are all pregnant women like this? Every day I know

crankiness. Did he do something wrong by asking her to resign?

Wang Licheng supported her waist and slowly released her

head. Fortunately, he was much taller than Xiao Hongyan, and her big belly

pushed him so that he could only bow, and it was very difficult to hold her in

this posture.

"Don't think nonsense. If I don't like you, can I stay

with you at home every day? Go downstairs with me obediently, and I'll walk

with you after every meal for at least ten minutes." He had to be tough and

not follow her in everything. It's easy to do bad things.

"No, I'll take the stairs at home during the day and go

out for a walk at night."

"Okay, listen to you." I just wanted to be

tough...

"But you can't walk alone, I have to accompany

you."

They are there every day when we arrived together; I didn't

feel that Xiao Hongyan had changed much. Wang Licheng carefully recalled how

Xiao Hongyan looked when they first got married. If he suddenly becomes like

this, and he doesn't want to go out, he won't embarrass her anymore.

One night a few days later, the two lay in bed.

"Wang Licheng, why don't you want to name our

child?"

"Didn't I say it all? I don't know the gender of the

child. It won’t be too late to name the child after birth."

"Yesterday when we went to the B-ultrasound, my

sister-in-law asked us if we wanted to see the gender of the child. You said

no. Now you say you don't know the gender of the child, do you not like him?"

So I don't care, and I don't want to name him.

He has explained it many times, but he can only continue to

explain, how can you argue with a pregnant woman, not to mention that she is

your wife.

"Wife, now that I know, there is no surprise. Besides,

it's been a long time since I've waited, and it's not less than a few dozen

days."

Last month, he found that Xiao Hongyan was a little bit patriarchal.

He didn't know if it was that there wasn’t a woman in the Xiao family or if other

women told her.

What if it was her daughter and she couldn't accept the

accident for a while? He couldn't afford to gamble, so he should wait for Xiao

Hongyan to give birth to slowly instill in her the idea of valuing women like

men.

While Wang Licheng accompanies Xiao Hongyan to labor at

home, Luo Zhongyong recruited several more general distributors in Jiangcheng.

Now ten workers are producing biscuits in full and the supply is still in short

supply. He recruited ten more workers and made them work two shifts, ten on the

day shift and ten on the night shift.

At the end of March, Xiao Hongyan's due date was getting

closer, and the number of orders for biscuits was still increasing, and the

momentum was very strong.

A single machine cannot produce so many cookies even in two

shifts. Wang Licheng bought all the remaining four machines from the city food

factory in one breath, and they refused to give up a cent for the 80,000 Yuan.

Only four machines can be put down in his factory, and two

more machines can only be put in the warehouse.

At that time, Wang Licheng only wanted to buy two sets, but

they didn't sell them, and even wanted to increase the price. The eldest

brother-in-law has been in the factory all the time. Knowing that the machine

cannot be sold, he wants to lower the price. I don't know how they know that

Wang Licheng opened a food factory and started to raise prices.

This time, four machines, one candy machine, and three

biscuit machines were working at the same time, and another 20 workers were

hired. Wang Licheng saw that the money that had just arrived in his hand was

gone before it was warmed up, and his heart ached.

He didn't feel distressed for a long time, and if he didn't

go back quickly, the pregnant woman at home woke up and didn't see him; she was

going to lose her temper again.

Recently, Xiao Hongyan felt very bad, with an upset stomach,

backache, and leg pain. The most important thing is that Wang Licheng is busy

again. She is a little anxious and in a bad mood. She always worries that Wang

Licheng will not be there when she gives birth.

Today, Wang Licheng went to the factory while she was

asleep. It was dark and he didn't come back.

She didn't want to do this either. Every time she heard the

eldest sister and the second sister complain about the trivial things at home,

she knew that she was very happy.

Although her mother-in-law doesn't talk much, she is very

kind to her, especially after she is pregnant; she has meat in almost every

meal, stews soup once a week, and cooks whatever she wants. In the past two

months, she has to eat five meals a day, and her mother-in-law cooks each meal

for her. Sometimes she would not let her cook it herself. Wang Licheng had

nothing to say to her.

She didn't know why some pessimistic thoughts always popped

up in her mind.

After entering April, Wang Licheng went out less often.

After he bought four machines last month, his eldest brother-in-law, Wu Li'an,

was laid off.

What makes Wang Licheng laugh or cry is that the eldest

brother-in-law came to the store to look for him immediately after he was laid

off, not to complain for comfort, but to drink and celebrate with him.

Wu Li'an saw his brother-in-law's factory getting better and

better, and he was so anxious that the factory didn't fire him. He started work

at the age of 18 and has been working in a food factory for 16 years. After

being laid off, he can receive two or three thousand compensation. He voluntarily

resigned and the compensation was gone, and his family would complain about

him.

Now I have finally been laid off, the compensation has been

paid, and the job has been settled. My brother-in-law promised him a long time

ago that he could go to work at the Xinglong Food Factory after being laid off,

and help him manage the workers.

Wu Li'an actually doesn't like running transportation.

Running outside is tiring and tiring, often turning day and night upside down?

The only good thing is the high salary. He worked in the food factory for ten

years before, and after he was promoted, he started to manage the

transportation team, so he no longer had to run it himself.

However, Wang Licheng's factory has not been established for

a long time. He runs first. It is impossible for his brother-in-law to let him

run for a lifetime. My family's factory is definitely not the same as outside.

He was only an apprentice in the factory at the beginning.

At that time, his parents were not retired, so he could not take over the job.

The family helped him find a job as an apprentice in a food factory, and the

salary was only ten Yuan a month.

When he saw the driver who drove the big truck in the

factory, he was so impressed that the salary was high, and he was moved. There

is no job in the food factory for their men. He doesn't know technology, and he

is always called to carry goods as a coolie. If he can drive a truck, he might

be able to get a job.

Wu Li'an bought half a year's wages as a gift for the truck

driver, asking the driver to teach him to drive in private.

Two years later, he was admitted to the truck driver's

license and became a member of the factory's transportation team, and his

salary was doubled.

Back then, he was able to marry Wang Chunmei because he had

a certificate and was a truck driver with a high salary.

Wang Licheng gave his eldest brother-in-law 5% of the

shares, and his salary was 200 Yuan per month, which was similar to when he was

in the factory before. He told the elder brother-in-law about the meaning of

the shares. The shares given to relatives can only be distributed as dividends,

and they cannot interfere with the decision-making in the factory.

After the eldest brother-in-law came to the factory, he left

everything in the factory to the eldest brother-in-law. From the beginning of

the factory, every time Wang Licheng was too busy to take care of the factory,

he always asked his elder brother-in-law to take care of the factory.

Today is the 10th, the last day of early April, and the last

day of the due date. Xiao Hongyan slept soundly, while Wang Licheng was a

little nervous and couldn't sleep.

Usually, their door is closed when they sleep. These days,

Liu Fengzhen let them sleep with the door open. If there is any movement, call

her, so she can call for a car.

Wang Licheng contacted a van in advance, which was the one

that took Xiao Hongyan to the hospital for production.

Everything the little one needs is prepared ahead of time

and packed in a cloth bag. Liu Fengzhen takes out the clothes and diapers every

two days to dry them. All preparations are done, just waiting for the birth of

the child.

The children's clothes are all new, and Liu Fengzhen asked a

tailor to make them. The fabric is a nice-looking cotton fabric that Wang

Licheng brought back from Jiangcheng, and it is very soft.

If Wang Licheng dared to be such a free spender in the past,

she would not follow him. Now it's different, the family has money.

Every day, her daughter-in-law would give her ten Yuan to

buy food, saying that it was the food expenses of the workers in the store, and

she could never use up the money. She told her son that he asked her to take

it, and said that the family was not short of this money.

After dinner on the evening of the 11th, Wang Licheng took

Xiao Hongyan for a walk as usual, and Xiao Hongyan said halfway down the road

that she wanted to go to the toilet. They returned immediately. Xiao Hongyan

had just arrived in the store, and before she had time to enter the bathroom,

she felt that her urine had already come out.

She stood at the door of the bathroom, embarrassedly not

moving.

"What's wrong?" She was in a hurry just now, why

didn't she go in when he got to the door.

Xiao Hongyan grimaced, "I've urinated."

Hearing what she said, seeing the expression on her face, he

instantly understood and said a few words of comfort.

"Let's go first and take off our clothes and take a

shower, and I'll bring you a change of clothes."

Xiao Hongyan's stomach is too big to bend down to take off

her pants and put on shoes. These are what Wang Licheng has been doing

recently, and even sometimes give her a bath.

Wang Licheng helped her take off her trousers naturally. When

he put the trousers he took off into the basin for dirty clothes, he realized

that something was wrong. The urine was not offensive at all and had a fishy

smell. He brought Xiao Hongyan's underwear to his nose and sniffed it.

"What are you doing!" What was Wang Licheng doing

when he smelled her pants! She was embarrassed and her voice was a little loud.

"I'll take clean clothes from you. I won't take a bath.

We'll go to the hospital right away. I suspect that what you just urinated is

not urine." He suspected that it was amniotic fluid. Xiao Hongyan's due

date had just passed, and the doctor said that if the amniotic fluid broke, she

was about to give birth, to be sent to the hospital immediately, he was nervous

and in a hurry.

After Wang Licheng and Xiao Hongyan changed their pants, he

remembered to call Xiao Hongyan's sister-in-law to ask.

"Is the fishy-smelling transparent water amniotic

fluid?"
