Chapter 85 Pregnancy and Marriage

Bai Xiaoyue had just finished wrapping all the glutinous rice balls when Yan Ci and Xiaobai returned.

Yan Ci came to help boil water and cook the glutinous rice balls.

Bai Xiaoyue also cracked five eggs, and Chang Le ate two.

Little Bai was very happy: "Mom, what holiday is it today? There's brown sugar and glutinous rice balls, they're so delicious!"

Chang Le nodded vigorously, "Mom, it's really delicious."

Bai Xiaoyue's nose felt a little sore.

Yan Ci glanced at his wife and quickly said to his son, "Eat quickly, it will get cold."

Bai Xiaoyue sniffed, smiled, and said:

“It’s not a holiday, Mom is just happy today.”

Xiao Bai whispered to Chang Le, "Sister, I wish Mom was happy every day."

After breakfast, Bai Xiaoyue asked Li Mingyue to go to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy things.

Yan Ci was busy building a house and working in the fields to earn work points, so he didn't spend much time with her.

The two of them took an oxcart, along with the three female educated youths.

When they got off the bus, the three female educated youths were also going to buy things, and the group went into the supply and marketing cooperative together.

Bai Xiaoyue and Li Mingyue quickly went to find Sister Deng. Bai Xiaoyue bought Chang Le new menstrual pads and toilet paper.

Seeing that she had bought a lot of toilet paper and menstrual pads, Fang Wanzhi and Luo Xiaowei also bought some.

Li Xinru stood motionless, and Luo Xiaowei asked her, "Xinru, aren't you going to buy it?"

Li Xinru suddenly realized what was happening and said, "If you want to buy it, I want to buy it too."

Li Mingyue stood to the side and happened to see Li Xinru's absent-mindedness.

He was still wondering if this educated youth, Li, was up to something again.

After returning home, she told Bai Xiaoyue:

"Xiaoyue, that Li educated youth seems strange to me. Could he be planning something bad again?"

Bai Xiaoyue frowned: "It's hard to say. I'll tell Wen Tong to be careful."

Li Xinru forced herself to remain calm as she returned, but inside she was in turmoil.

I haven't had my period for two months. My sister-in-law used to find out she was pregnant when she missed her period.

Li Xinru went to Bai Wenli again to get a certificate, and secretly went to the hospital for a check-up the next day.

I hope it's just a change in environment and not pregnancy.

When the doctor told her she was pregnant, she felt dizzy.

Li Xinru, trying to appear calm, asked:

"Doctor, I don't want a child yet, can I have an abortion?"

The doctor said, "Yes, but you need to bring proof and have a family member sign it."

She left the hospital like a zombie. Where could she get this certificate, and who should sign it?

Before I knew it, I had arrived at Pear Blossom Lane.

Li Xinru was at a loss. She couldn't keep the baby and wanted to ask Zeng Daming to go to the hospital to sign the consent form.

When she arrived at the courtyard, the gate was tightly closed. She waited for a long time but did not see Zeng Daming. Instead, she saw Zeng Daqing.

Li Xinru quickly pulled Zeng Daqing back.

Zeng Daqing asked in surprise, "Li Zhiqing, what are you doing here?"

Li Xinru whispered, "I have something to say, I need to find someone, I need to find someone..."

Zeng Daming understood and said, "You want to find my brother? Tell me, what's up?"

My brother is very busy today and doesn't have time to greet you.

Li Xinru said, "When is he free? I'll wait for him."

Zeng Daqing rolled his eyes:

"My brother has to spend time with his wife, he doesn't have time for you."

When Li Xinru heard that he had a sister-in-law, her face changed drastically and she fled in panic.

Without proof or anyone to sign it, she gritted her teeth and had no choice but to get rid of it herself.

After work, she would start running, jumping rope, and squatting until she was completely exhausted before resting.

For several days in a row, her belly remained completely flat, and she was so angry that she kept pounding her lower abdomen.

He even deliberately tripped and fell, but nothing happened to him.

Li Xinru felt that there was really no other way but to find a father for the child first, and then get a divorce after the child was born.

She looked down on the farmers in the village and chose among the three male educated youth.

Wang Wei is handsome, but his eyes are always on Fang Wanzhi.

Li Damin has a bad temper and doesn't like to talk to people; he doesn't seem easy to fool.

After much thought, I realized that Liu Aiguo was the most suitable candidate. He listened to me and was a decent worker.

After making up her mind, Li Xinru went to find Liu Aiguo that evening after dinner.

She said to Liu Aiguo, "Liu Aiguo, I want to go out for a bit, can you come with me?"

Liu Aiguo felt that since it was hot, going out for a walk would be a good idea.

Li Xinru led Liu Aiguo on a stroll to the riverbank, where they stopped under a large tree.

Liu Aiguo stopped a few steps away and said:

"Li Xinru, it's not safe by the river. Let's go to the big locust tree at the village entrance, it's crowded and lively there!"

It was getting dark, and the shadows were not very clear.

Li Xinru deliberately twisted her ankle, swaying as if she was about to fall into the river. Liu Aiguo quickly stepped forward and grabbed her hand.

Li Xinru took the opportunity to fall to the ground, pulling Liu Aiguo down with her.

The two fell into the roadside bushes. She pretended to be still in shock and hugged Liu Aiguo tightly.

It was the first time Liu Aiguo had been hugged by a girl. He was wearing thin clothes in the summer, and he could feel the softness of the woman in his arms.

His face turned red, and his heartbeat and breathing became erratic.

He could barely speak clearly: "No, it's nothing."

Li Xinru wouldn't let go, and whispered in Liu Aiguo's ear, "Aiguo, I like you."

He heard Li Xinru's soft, loving whispers in his ear, and felt her warm, fiery body in his arms.

With Li Xinru's lips intentionally or unintentionally getting close to him, the 20-year-old young man couldn't control himself at all.

He rolled over and pinned Li Xinru down, kissing her lips. The two young people kissed passionately, unable to part.

Before they knew it, their clothes were disheveled. By the time Liu Aiguo came to his senses, it was already too late to back down.

...

Anyway, Li Xinru's plan succeeded, and the child in her belly has a father.

The two sneaked back, and everyone was asleep.

The next day, Liu Aiguo announced his relationship with Li Xinru to the public.

People were also puzzled as to why Li Xinru, who was usually so arrogant, had taken a liking to Liu Aiguo.

However, the educated youth all came from different places, didn't know each other before, didn't have a deep relationship, and didn't ask many questions.

Liu Aiguo and Li Xinru were very much in love and would go on dates in the woods every few days.

A month later, Li Xinru told Liu Aiguo: "Aiguo, I'm pregnant."

Liu Aiguo was initially stunned, then said happily:

"It's true, I'm going to be a dad!"

Li Xinru lowered her head and said with a wronged expression:

"You're happy about loving your country? I'm so worried! I'm pregnant out of wedlock."

"If others find out, how can I face anyone?"

Liu Aiguo immediately said:

"Xinru, don't worry, we'll go find Secretary Bai to get the certificate now, and we'll get our marriage certificate tomorrow."

And so, Liu Aiguo and Li Xinru got married.

Liu Aiguo paid for a house to be built behind the educated youth compound, and the two of them moved in.

The two of them invited a few former educated youths to a meal together, and that was how they got married.

Uncle Bai went to a meeting at the commune, and upon his return, he convened a general meeting of commune members.
