Chapter 185 It seems like she's about to give birth.
The closer it gets to July, the harder the days become.
School's out for break, and the children are playing all over the residential area. Even Nuonuo was dragged out by the Shao brothers.
The Liang family's youngest daughter is now 9 months old. After treatment, her body shows no signs of being premature.
He's always full of energy, which makes Feng Weiwei a little annoyed.
"You're complaining? I'm incredibly envious!" Guo Chunxiang said while eating.
Her belly was quite big, but she seemed to be in good condition.
Deng Hongmei, knitting a sweater, asked, "You're about to give birth, how's the baby preparation going?"
"Preparations are almost complete. I think we can make it back in time if Lao Shao comes back." Guo Chunxiang gently touched her belly.
She said it didn't matter whether Shao Wenzhao was there or not, but she was still thinking about him.
"By the way, the military region sent a lot of things to my house these past two days, saying they were rewards for those who participated in the national military competition." Guo Chunxiang looked at Li Wanqing, "Did your family receive them?"
Li Wanqing paused for a moment, then nodded. "Yes, there is a military water bottle and a thermos."
She was quite surprised when she received it.
The competition isn't even over yet, but the rewards have already been distributed.
Guo Chunxiang frowned. "Only these two? But I still have malted milk powder and rice at home."
Deng Hongmei's eyes flickered slightly, but Li Wanqing didn't seem to care much. "It's probably because you're pregnant that you have more stuff."
Special circumstances, special treatment!
Guo Chunxiang laughed heartily, "I never expected pregnancy would come with these benefits! If I had known, I would have chosen to give birth during such a competitive time!"
Li Wanqing, Deng Hongmei, and Feng Weiwei all laughed at these words.
The group was chatting and laughing when, after a short while, a commotion came from the direction where the children were playing.
I thought it was just kids playing around and adults shouldn't interfere, but in the blink of an eye, they started fighting.
Li Wanqing and the others quickly got up to go and see, and Guo Chunxiang also dragged her heavy body over.
Li Wanqing and Deng Hongmei separated the fighting children. Li Wanqing asked coldly, "Why were you fighting?"
When Shao Xingguo saw the adults arrive, he immediately felt aggrieved. "Auntie, he said my dad was injured and died!"
Everyone was shocked when these words were spoken.
Looking at the other people fighting, Deng Hongmei's heart skipped a beat, and Li Wanqing couldn't help but frown.
The man who fought with the three Shao brothers was the son of a deputy regimental commander in the Second Division. He was usually a polite boy, so why did he say such things?
Nuonuo tugged at her mother's clothes and whispered, "Mom, that bad brother said Uncle Shao is injured and going to die. That's why Xingguo and Xingbang hit people."
If she weren't so young, and if her older sister Yueyue hadn't been holding her back, she would have wanted to hit someone too.
How can you just casually say that someone's father has died!
In her past life, someone said that her mother died and that's when her grandmother sold her.
She didn't want her brother Xingguo and the others to end up like her!
Li Wanqing patted Nuonuo's head, then looked at the other child, "Zhao Qiang, you were wrong about this. You should apologize to the three Shao brothers."
Zhao Qiang stubbornly refused to apologize, just then Guo Chunxiang, holding her pregnant belly, came over.
He immediately smacked Shao Xingguo on the head, saying, "You brat, what's wrong with you? Getting into a fight again? Asking for a beating!"
Shao Xingguo looked at his mother with a wronged expression, tears welling up in his eyes, but he sensibly refrained from mentioning that his father had an accident.
Guo Chunxiang was startled by her son's expression; it seemed the brat had really been wronged.
Shao Xingbang and Shao Xing'an also looked unwell. Shao Xing'an was young and couldn't hold back his words.
Seeing her brother being misunderstood made her even more upset. "Mom, it's not my brother's fault. He said he thought Dad was dead..."
Before he could finish speaking, Shao Xingguo covered his mouth tightly, saying, "Don't talk nonsense."
Guo Chunxiang keenly sensed that something was wrong, and Li Wanqing comforted her, "They're just kids joking around, don't take it seriously."
Guo Chunxiang didn't think that way. This was a military region, and the residents were all military dependents.
Everyone knows that being a soldier is dangerous, and no one would joke about something like that.
Li Wanqing and Deng Hongmei quickly helped her up. Li Wanqing comforted her, "Don't worry, it's just a child talking nonsense, don't take it seriously."
If someone were to die, the military region would definitely notify them.
Guo Chunxiang felt a sharp pain in her stomach, and took a deep breath before she felt a little better.
"Zhao Qiang, where did you hear that?" Guo Chunxiang looked at Zhao Qiang with a stern face. "Didn't your family tell you that this kind of thing is not something to joke about?"
Zhao Qiang's eyes flickered slightly. Of course he knew, but he just couldn't stand Shao Xingguo always hogging Nuonuo and Yueyue and not letting them play with him.
Seeing the questioning looks from everyone, almost ten-year-old Zhao Qiang suddenly felt ashamed.
“I’m not making this up!” Zhao Qiang shouted. “My dad said that Shao Xingguo’s father went missing during the military competition, and he still hasn’t been found!”
Upon hearing this, Li Wanqing immediately sensed that something was wrong. When she looked at Deng Hongmei, she noticed a fleeting look of guilt in her eyes.
Li Wanqing's heart skipped a beat. Could this really be true?
However, regardless of whether this is true or not, we cannot let Guo Chunxiang take it seriously now.
“Sister-in-law, the child might have misunderstood. My husband went too, and we haven’t heard anything about it. Don’t worry,” Li Wanqing reassured her.
Deng Hongmei also joined in the persuasion, saying that if something went wrong, she wouldn't be able to explain it!
Guo Chunxiang gripped Li Wanqing's arm tightly as she supported her, the pain in her stomach intensifying, but she persevered.
“Sister-in-law Hongmei, tell me the truth, has something happened to my husband Lao Shao?” Guo Chunxiang looked at Deng Hongmei with a pale face. “Don’t lie to me, I’m also a veteran family member of the military region.”
Deng Hongmei opened her mouth, then swallowed the words she was about to explain. "Chunxiang, Battalion Commander Shao has had a little trouble, but it's nothing serious. You should focus on taking care of yourself."
Upon hearing this, the Shao family children immediately burst into tears, especially the youngest, Shao Xing'an.
Guo Chunxiang stumbled, but fortunately Li Wanqing caught her and prevented her from falling.
"Is he really missing?" Guo Chunxiang asked.
Deng Hongmei quickly shook her head. "No, we found him. He was a little injured, but he told us not to let you know because he didn't want you to worry."
Upon hearing this, Guo Chunxiang felt a slight relief. "It's good that they've found him. It's good that they've found him."
The injury can heal, as long as the person is alive, that's all that matters.
Li Wanqing comforted her, "Sister-in-law, since Battalion Commander Shao was able to explain things, it means his injuries aren't serious. Don't worry."
Guo Chunxiang nodded, then suddenly frowned, panicking.
"I...I think I'm going into labor!"
