Chapter 279 Sweet

Chapter 279 Sweet

Everyone heard about it once and then didn't pay much attention to it.

Huo Xinran is indeed quite capable. Despite having gone through such a terrible marriage, she managed to get a divorce and then married a decent person.

Cai Wenhua was getting married for the first time, and he had a good reputation in the military.

However, no one had time to pay attention to Huo Xinran. They had a lot to do every day, especially after Huo Chunyan became pregnant. She vomited everything she ate, which made Huo's mother so worried that her hair turned white.

So Huo's mother focused all her attention on Huo Chunyan.

She genuinely couldn't understand: "When I was pregnant before, I could eat anything, but why do you vomit everything you eat?"

Shen Zhixia remained silent in response. She had been in the same situation when she was pregnant, so she and Huo Chenzhou had already discussed it and decided that she would not have any more children.

Huo Chenzhou readily agreed.

When Shen Zhixia gave birth to her first child, it was extremely difficult, and Huo Chenzhou was terrified watching it, so he didn't want Shen Zhixia to suffer the pain of childbirth again.

The country now encourages having more children, and people are not good at using contraception, so as long as there is a child, they will give birth. Shen Zhixia originally thought that Huo Chenzhou would not agree, but he didn't expect him to be completely indifferent.

You know, many families nowadays have five or six children, but Shen Zhixia wouldn't even dare to think about having five or six pregnancies. Even in later years, with advanced medical technology, she wouldn't dare to have so many children; just thinking about it makes her scalp tingle.

Shen Zhixia said, "When you see so many other children, don't you feel regretful?"

Men and women cannot empathize with each other. The thought of having a child gave her a headache, but Huo Chenzhou certainly couldn't understand it. After all, he didn't have to give birth himself, and Shen Zhixia didn't have high expectations of him. She didn't really intend for him to understand her.

Huo Chenzhou said honestly, "No, when I saw how painful it was for you to give birth, I felt that it was better not to let you have another child. If I hadn't already given birth to your first child, I wouldn't even want you to have your first child."

This is the truth. Shen Zhixia almost died during her first childbirth. The person he loves is Shen Zhixia, and the person he will spend the rest of his life with is also Shen Zhixia.

He only hoped that Shen Zhixia could be safe and sound.

In his heart, Shen Zhixia was always much more important than his children.

Shen Zhixia looked at him in surprise: "I didn't expect you to be childless by choice?"

Huo Chenzhou: "...What is DINK (Double Income No Kids)?"

He discovered that his wife was truly educated. Sometimes he couldn't understand what she was saying, but whenever he didn't understand something, he would humbly ask her for help without feeling ashamed at all.

Anyway, this is his wife, hehe.

Shen Zhixia said, "DINK means not having children. There are many DINK couples who live together after marriage and have no intention of having children."

Huo Chenzhou thought about it for a moment and realized that he was not childless by choice. He had never thought about not having children before and felt that he should let nature take its course.

He was overjoyed when Shen Zhixia became pregnant. He was filled with anticipation at the thought of Shen Zhixia giving birth to their child.

However, later, when he saw how dangerous it was for Shen Zhixia to give birth, he realized that childbirth was not an easy thing and regretted letting Shen Zhixia experience the pain of childbirth.

Shen Zhixia tapped him on the head: "Alright, I'm going to make some pickled plums. Chunyan has no appetite for anything right now, so I'm going to make her something sour."

Huo Chenzhou nodded: "Okay."

Huo Chunyan's appetite was getting worse and worse. She used to be able to eat the dishes Sun Baojun cooked, but as her pregnancy progressed, her belly became very big, while her face became smaller and smaller.

She became very thin, and all that remained of her face were her eyes.

Sun Baojun was so worried that his hair was almost turning white. He asked Huo Chunyan, "Is there anything you want to eat? Whatever it is, I can get it for you."

Huo Chunyan actually felt very hungry, but when suddenly asked what she wanted to eat, she didn't know. She shook her head and said, "I don't know either."

Su Baojun said, "Black carp, beef, dumplings, steamed buns... think about what you want to eat, and I'll make it for you right away."

Huo Chunyan didn't know what she wanted to eat, but the things Sun Baojun mentioned were all rich and meaty, and she had no appetite at all.

She said, "I don't want to eat."

Su Baojun appeared to be completely devastated.

Mrs. Huo comforted her, saying, "It's okay. Some pregnant women are like that. They don't have much of an appetite for a while, but it will pass. Try giving her some sour foods during this time and see if it helps her eat more."

Shen Zhixia looked at Huo Chunyan and saw that she had indeed become very thin, but she couldn't say such things to avoid putting too much pressure on Huo Chunyan. So she said, "Mom is right. When I was pregnant, I didn't have an appetite and felt nauseous no matter what I ate, but I was fine afterward and gave birth to the baby safely. Chunyan will definitely be fine too."

Sun Baojun had no experience whatsoever, and his only worry was Huo Chunyan. Now, after hearing what the two of them said, he felt a little relieved: "Are you sure everything is alright?"

"Yes, I've pickled some plums. I'll let Chunyan try them in a couple of days. I loved eating them when I was pregnant," Shen Zhixia said.

Huo Chunyan finally spoke up: "I don't want to eat plums, I want to eat something sweet."

Sun Baojun's eyes lit up, and he quickly said, "Do you want some candy? I'll go buy some for you right away."

Huo Chunyan said, "It's not candy, I just want to eat something sweet."

"Then I'll go make you some sugar buns," Sun Baojun quickly said.

Huo Chunyan thought about the taste of Tangbao and acquiesced.

Huo's mother originally wanted to help, but when she thought about how she was making ordinary sugar buns while Sun Baojun was making an upgraded version of sugar treasures, and the problem was that Huo Chunyan actually liked Sun Baojun's culinary disasters, she stopped herself.

She had never really understood Huo Chunyan's tastes. She remembered that Huo Chunyan used to eat and live with her, and her tastes had always been quite normal.

Why did things suddenly become abnormal one day?

It's puzzling.

But that's precisely why these two ended up together.

Soon, Sun Baojun brought out the sugar buns he had made. He used to make a lot and insist that others try them too. Shen Zhixia always racked her brains to refuse, but this time, due to time constraints, he only made one for Huo Chunyan and coaxed her to eat it all by herself.

Huo Chunyan took small bites of the sugar packet this time.

The bun itself looked fine, but after biting into it, Shen Zhixia discovered that it contained an excessive amount of white sugar.

Huo Chunyan really liked the sweet taste, so she ate several.

Sun Baojun said, "What else would you like to eat? I'll go and make it for you."

Huo Chunyan said, "No need, I'm full."
