Chapter 1666: Learning to be a Father

About a week after returning to Changshan, it should have been Lu Xiaoya's menstrual period, but her period never came, and she began showing clear signs of pregnancy. Su Xinghui took her to the hospital for a check-up, and as it turned out, she was indeed pregnant.

Su Xinghui was so happy he didn't know what to do. He immediately called to share the news with his parents and parents-in-law. They were also overjoyed, and Guo Suhua and Song Qiaoli both said they would come to Changshan County this weekend to see Lu Xiaoya.

That night, after the two had showered and gotten into bed, Su Xinghui pressed his ear against Lu Xiaoya's belly, wanting to hear if there was any sound. Having had no children in his past life, he was full of curiosity about his first child in this life. Such curiosity, even for someone excellent in other aspects, was unavoidable.

Lu Xiaoya said with a smile, "What are you listening for now? The doctor said it's only been two or three weeks; you can't hear anything at all. He hasn't even taken shape yet. You'll have to wait at least a few more months to hear anything."

Su Xinghui laughed, "I'm just curious. I wish he would come out sooner, then I'd have a son."

Lu Xiaoya said, "How can you be so sure it's a son? What if it's a daughter?"

Su Xinghui said, "A daughter is fine too. A daughter is a parent's little padded jacket. If we have a daughter, I'll like her too."

Lu Xiaoya said, "That's more like it."

Su Xinghui said, "Do you think if we have a daughter, she'll be as beautiful as you in the future?"

Lu Xiaoya said, "She should be even more beautiful than me. If we have a son, he'll definitely be more handsome than you."

Su Xinghui said, "Mm, it'll definitely be like that. From today on, don't do any housework. I'll take care of all the chores. Also, you have to eat delicious food every day to keep our child nice and chubby."

Lu Xiaoya said, "You're talking nonsense again. The doctor told me today that pregnant women should also do some appropriate housework. You can't just sit or lie down all day long. You also need to exercise appropriately, otherwise, it won't be easy to give birth later. Also, you want me to keep our child nice and chubby—if the baby gets too big, how will I be able to give birth?"

Su Xinghui knew a lot about other things, but his knowledge about child-rearing was basically a blank slate. This couldn't be blamed on him, as he had no children in his past life.

He touched his head awkwardly and said, "If it's really hard to give birth, then you can just choose a Caesarean section."

Lu Xiaoya said, "You're wrong again. Unless it's absolutely a last resort, don't choose a Caesarean section. Children born via Caesarean section haven't been squeezed through the birth canal, so it's very likely they won't be able to concentrate easily later on and might develop ADHD. Also, their personalities aren't as tough as children born naturally."

Su Xinghui said, "You know quite a lot."

Lu Xiaoya said, "The doctor told me all this today. I plan to buy more books about child-rearing to keep at home and read every day. You have to read them too; your knowledge in this area is too little."

Su Xinghui nodded and said, "Alright, I'll go buy them tomorrow. I'll also accompany you to the hospital for prenatal check-ups every week and ask the doctor more about this knowledge. I must become a child-rearing expert and take good care of you."

Although Su Xinghui already knew he couldn't hear any movement inside Lu Xiaoya's belly now, he still couldn't help but press his ear against Lu Xiaoya's belly to listen. He felt that the little guy inside Lu Xiaoya's belly had a wonderful connection with him. Could this be the heart-to-heart connection between father and child? ===== CHAPTER 1668 =====
