Chapter 41 – We Have a Baby?

Several of Jianyun’s comrades looked grim when they heard the words of the attending doctor.

They did not speak and were upset. It was the first time their mission was unsafe. Jianyun was fine at first, but saving one of his comrades led to this serious injury.

Fortunately, his vital spots were not hit, or else he wouldn’t even be alive right now.

Even though he was like this right now and probably could not stay in the unit, he at least had his life.

Ji Jianyun woke up the next day. In the end, he was young, strong, and had a good physique. He recovered well. Even the doctor was surprised by the fact that he woke up so soon. After declaring that he was completely out of danger, they let him continue recovering.

“You don’t have to hide it from me. I know my own body. This leg will be useless in the future, am I right?” Ji Jianyun looked at some of his comrades.

“Don’t be discouraged, Jianyun. Don’t worry, you can still stay in the unit and become a clerk,” a comrade said at once.

“Yes, we have already reported it to our leader, and he has agreed!” The other followed quickly.

“How’s Dawei?” Ji Jianyun asked.

“Dawei is out of danger, too, but he still isn’t awake yet. If you didn’t save him, that almighty second ancestor would have died this time!” The comrade coldly snorted.

It was clear that he was only acquaintances with this Dawei.

“We are all from the same organization. It was a natural reaction at that time.” Ji Jianyun shook his head.

Ji Jianyun had an okay relationship with Dawei, but he threw himself at Dawei without a second thought. It was his subconscious reaction.

“How long do I have to rest?” Ji Jianyun asked.

“I’m afraid it’ll be for a month!” A comrade joked.

“Then I’ll just take a break. You guys write a resignation letter for me,” Ji Jianyun said faintly.

“Jianyun!” A few of his comrades rushed to shout. “Did you take what we just said seriously? You can transfer to be a clerk, you don’t have to leave!”

Ji Jianyun shook his head and did not say more.

Now that his leg was useless, what was the point of staying here?

And this was not what he was most worried about. What he was worried about was whether Danhong could accept the fact that he was a disabled person…

In the village, Su Danhong was always a little restless these days. She didn’t sleep very well at night, which had never happened before.

Mother Ji saw how she looked very worried to the point where she couldn’t bear it any longer and asked, “Danhong, are you nervous? You don’t need to be worried, it’ll be fine. Uncle Yang’s family and our family are old friends. We can look after the orchard, so there’s nothing to lose!”

“Mother, that’s not what I’m worried about. My eye has been twitching these days. I don’t know what’s going on. Do you think Jianyun is…” Su Danhong stopped talking.

Mother Ji was shocked and quickly asked, “Which eye is twitching?”

“The left eye,” Su Danhong replied.

Mother Ji’s complexion changed slightly. She was about to say something when she heard a broadcast from the village committee asking Su Danhong to answer the phone. Ji Jianyun called!

Upon hearing this, Su Danhong’s slightly gloomy face glowed. She put aside the needle and thread into the basket and immediately said, “Mother, watch the house, I’m going to go answer the phone call!”

With that, Da Hei immediately went to her to follow her as she was about to go out. Mother Ji smiled when she saw Su Danhong like this. The stone weighing her mind was put down.

A phone call is a good sign. She thought something happened to Jianyun and it scared her. Now it just looked like Lao San’s wife missed him.

She missed him a little too much.

But this was also normal during pregnancy. Jianyun was not home and her thoughts would inevitably run wild.

Su Danhong’s side. She  soon received a phone call from Ji Jianyun. The first thing he did on the first day he could get out of bed was make this phone call.

“Jianyun? Is that you?” Su Danhong excitedly asked as she held this magical phone that could communicate with others from thousands of miles away.

When Ji Jianyun heard his wife’s voice, he felt better and relaxed, as if he had been fed an elixir.

“Honey,” Ji Jianyun called out to her in a low voice.

“Jianyun!” Su Danhong responded. “It’s good that you’re alright. You don’t know this, but these days I am always having nightmares about you having an accident during your mission. Do you have time off? Why don’t you make a trip back?”

As he listened, Ji Jianyun felt a lump in his throat and said in a deep voice, “Don’t worry, I’m fine. I can’t go back yet.”

If I go back looking like this, how worried will Danhong be? 

“You can’t come back?” His wife’s voice suddenly became lower in disappointment.

Ji Jianyun’s heart became filled with regret. He explained, “Danhong, I’m afraid I won’t be able to go back this year, but don’t worry, I’ll be able to call you every month later.”

He had severance pay which he planned on using to create a business, and when he was done, he would go back to pick up his wife.

When Su Danhong heard that he might not be able to come back this year, she became even more disheartened.

At this very moment, her nearly five month pregnant belly suddenly moved as if the baby was turning over. Su Danhong, who was pregnant for the first time in his life, was startled and cried out. She exclaimed to the Dajie next to her, “Dajie, Dajie, help me! I think there’s something wrong with my belly!”

“Danhong, Danhong, what’s the matter?” Ji Jianyun was anxious.

The Dajie was also startled. This Dajie was from the same village as Su Danhong. Xu Aidang, who worked for Su Danhong to plant and water the trees, was this Dajie’s nephew.

Xu Dajie supported her and asked, “What’s the matter? Do you have a stomachache?”

" "

“No, it looks like the little baby in there just moved,” Su Danhong expressed. But the baby did not move again.

Xu Dajie smiled at her words and said, “It’s all right, this is called fetal movement. It usually happens at six or seven months, and your little baby seems happy to talk to their father on the phone.”

Su Danhong smiled when she heard this, and then remembered to tell Jianyun that she was pregnant. She picked up the phone and wanted to tell Ji Jianyun.

Ji Jianyun was very anxious on the phone. “Danhong, Danhong, what’s the matter? Are you all right?”

“Jianyun, I’m fine. The baby moved just now.  This is the first time the baby has moved. I was scared since I have not experienced it before. Fortunately, Xu Dajie told me that it was all right. She said that the child was happy to hear your voice and moved,” Su Danhong said and giggled.

Ji Jianyun on the other side of the phone was confused. “A child? What child?”

“Oh, our child. I thought you would come back this year so I didn’t tell you to surprise you. It’s been almost five months now, and the baby can even move! If you don’t come back, then don’t blame me if the child doesn’t recognize you as a father!” Su Danhong grumbled.

Ji Jianyun was confused for a long time before he came to his senses. His voice could not hide his excitement. “A baby? Our baby? We have a baby?”
