Su Yin's eyes flashed with surprise. When she heard her mother-in-law mention the child and thought about her recent performance, she gradually had an idea that surprised and delighted her.
But it was not confirmed. She moved her mouth and just wanted to speak, but she didn't say her guess. She planned to go to the hospital for a check-up tomorrow and wait until the result was confirmed before speaking, so as not to announce it in front of her family at this time, and if it turned out to be a misunderstanding, it would be a false joy.
When she returned to the courtyard of Maoer Hutong, it was already late. Su Yin washed up and lay on the bed. Because she had a guess in her heart, her hand unconsciously touched her stomach, and she always felt like there was something inside.
Gu Chengan came back from taking a shower and just sat on the edge of the bed, he saw Su Yin with her hands on her waist, looking trance-like.
"What? Are you still worried about gaining weight?" Gu Chengan pulled the light cord, lay down and hugged his wife, comforting her, "Where are you fat? You have thin arms and legs, and when I hold you, I am worried that I will hurt you if I use a little force."
Su Yin is now suspicious and worried that she is really pregnant. She quietly moves to the side and decides to stay away from this dangerous person.
"I'm not worried anymore, go to sleep."
Gu Cheng'an felt his chest was a little empty, and then he saw that his wife was a little further away from him. He turned over again, leaned over, and pressed tightly against her: "Well, go to sleep."
Su Yin heard the heavy breathing of her husband beside her, and knew that he was really tired recently. In the early days of the factory, everything had to be tested and done by himself. Even if he had a good body and was strong and resistant to attack, he couldn't stand this. Su Yin put one hand on her belly and gently stroked the man's face with the other hand. Once Gu Cheng'an fell asleep, it was not easy to wake up, unless he woke up naturally after sleeping enough. Su Yin's delicate fingertips rubbed his cheeks, and she secretly hoped that her guess would come true.
On the second day, Su Yin was very careful when getting up and dressing. She picked loose clothes and pants. She first asked for an hour off from the newspaper office, and then rushed to the First People's Hospital for examination.
It's not that she didn't think about telling Gu Cheng'an and asking him to accompany her, but Su Yin was worried that the final result would be disappointment. It's not a good feeling to have expectations and then have them dashed.
In the hospital, patients and doctors and nurses came and went. Su Yin sat alone on a bench in the corridor waiting for examination, and she actually had some strange premonitions.
She always felt like there was life in her stomach, a kind of intuition that became stronger and stronger.
The examination at the First People's Hospital's Obstetrics and Gynecology Department ended quickly, and the results would not be available until after 3 p.m. Su Yin left with her bag on her back. As soon as she walked into the hospital lobby, she saw a pregnant woman with a big belly coming in. Her belly was round and bulging, and she must be about to give birth. She was holding her belly with her hands and walking inside from time to time.
Su Yin would not have observed pregnant women so carefully in the past, but now she was very concerned about the size of her belly and the expression on her face, as if she would be like this in the future.
The process of waiting for the results was very tormenting. Su Yin, who returned to the newspaper office, tried to calm herself down, think less, and not indulge in the repeated entanglement of expectations and disappointments.
Today's public service advertisements have published the news that Xiaohua has found her biological parents. Residents of the city are very concerned about the four children. The editor-in-chief of Beijing Daily has also called on the public to promptly report any news.
Now, only Tiedan's family has not been found.
The road to finding relatives is long, and now that three children can return to their biological parents, it is enough to make people feel relieved.
Near lunch time, a group of acquaintances suddenly came to the newspaper office.
The two families who took Goudan and Tiedan back a while ago came with large and small bags to express their gratitude to Beijing Daily.
Goudan's mother is in her thirties and is a female worker in a textile factory. She held the hand of the editor-in-chief of the newspaper and said thank you more than ten times with tears in her eyes.
"You are all good people. Thank you. This is our gift. You must accept it."
Editor-in-chief He could not accept things from the masses. She refused repeatedly, but was besieged by a group of people for "education". It seemed that they could not leave unless they accepted it. Others were amazed.
I didn't expect that the editor-in-chief of Lei Lifeng would still be in trouble.
Su Yin was watching the scene with a smile. Seeing the strong woman editor-in-chief He being "besieged", she chatted with Yang Youhui next to her. In a blink of an eye, she became the next target.
"Comrade Su Yin, we especially want to thank you! We just went to the police station to thank the public security comrades. They said that it was thanks to you that you asked a few more questions and found out that the children were abducted. Later, they wrote a report and made a public service advertisement... Hey, Comrade Su Yin, we thank you!"
A bunch of words hit Su Yin's face, followed by a big red flower. Their textile factory rewards model workers every year and the big red flower is tied on the chest. It is as big as half of the body. Su Yin was scared and took a step back. She started working after graduation and had never seen such a world!
After a flurry of thanks, a group of people left in a hurry, leaving behind two big bags of gifts.
Editor He looked like she had a headache, but she was forced to accept the things. She waved her hand and decided: "Everyone should share some. I think it's some melon seeds, peanuts and candy. This is the trust of the people in our newspaper. Everyone should do more interviews, write more articles and serve the people."
In the newspaper, everyone was given a handful of melon seeds and peanuts. Su Yin couldn't help but eat them. She really had no appetite for breakfast, lunch and dinner recently, and she was very greedy for all kinds of snacks.
After get off work at noon, Su Yin and Yang Youhui went to the cafeteria to eat together. Seeing the real pregnant woman across the street eating with a good appetite, she also cheered up. If she was really pregnant, she couldn't eat all the food in one go while the baby was hungry.
In the afternoon, while going out to run news, she went to the hospital. Compared to other jobs, reporters do have a lot of freedom. When they go out, they can always do things for themselves.
"Su Yin, female, 25 years old, 6 weeks pregnant..." The obstetrician was reading the examination report in her hand, and then she talked about some routine precautions for pregnant women. But when Su Yin heard the word "pregnant", she could no longer listen to other words. She controlled the emotions surging in her heart, took the pregnancy test report, thanked the doctor and left.
It's not that she didn't guess and doubt. She has been preparing herself mentally from last night to today. But when the moment of confirming her pregnancy came, Su Yin was still surprised and happy. The uncontrollable emotions could not be calmed for a long time.
This time, she gently stroked her belly again, and seemed to be able to feel the breath of life inside. She always felt that there was something moving in her belly. Could it be that the baby was greeting her?
In a flash, she laughed at herself for being silly. The baby was still an embryo at this time.
After get off work, she slowed down when riding her bicycle home, always worried that it would be bad for the child. The dilemma of a new mother was clear at a glance.
Gu Chengan has been going out early and returning late every day recently. The radio needs to be debugged repeatedly, whether it is the quality of various components, the sound quality of the playback, or the stability of the signal source. It needs to be constantly corrected.
After Su Yin finished washing up, she suppressed the urge to tell her father about her pregnancy. She wanted to tell the father first, so that Gu Cheng'an would be the first person to know about it besides herself.
She walked around the bedroom holding the pregnancy test report, thinking about how to tell him. She designed and simulated many different scenarios in her mind, and she was getting more and more excited.
She sat cross-legged on the bed in her cotton pajamas, with a smile on her eyes and eyebrows. The happy mood was surging in her body, and she was about to be unable to suppress it.
Just waiting for the man to come home.

It was past eight o'clock in the evening, and it was already pitch black outside.
In the factory of Yinle Radio Factory, repeated tests were being carried out before mass production of radios.
Gu Chengan San Gu Maolu invited an old master from the city radio factory to check, and every link must be perfect.
Even if the parts of the radio are the same, the difference in the assembly process will lead to a huge difference in the final user experience.
"It's done. The received signal is very stable this time. We switched back and forth between ten stations twenty times. There was no current sound. It was very stable." The old master wore reading glasses, but his craftsmanship was first-class. "The model opera played this time was the brightest and clearest. It's good."
Hu Libin and He Songping leaned over and listened carefully. After a night of audition, they had lost the ability to judge the sound quality. At most, they could tell which current sound was smaller.
The two of them looked at the old master's ears at the same time, but they didn't see anything special. How could it be so amazing?
Gu Cheng'an looked at the final version of the radio that he had studied for half a year and repeatedly tested and adjusted for more than half a month after the factory was built, and he felt relieved.
He has done a lot of research on radios. Since ten years ago, he has almost touched all the major brands of radios on the market. He knows all the advantages and disadvantages.
Not to mention, he has disassembled radios of all brands and was able to slowly put them back together. Therefore, he is very confident about the quality of his radio.
"Just produce it. The first batch will be 500 units."
"Brother An, our store can't handle so many." If Hu Libin really wants to sell 500 units in the store with a business license, it will take more than half a year, and the current investment will not be enough.
"Not only sell our store, but also open supply and marketing cooperatives and department stores." Gu Chengan raised his chin in the starry sky, "I want the whole city to see our radio."
It was already ten o'clock in the evening when he returned to Maoer Hutong after finishing work.
Stars were floating in the courtyard, and the silvery moonlight paved the way home. After washing up, Gu Chengan went back to the bedroom quietly, for fear of disturbing his wife.
At this time, Su Yin should have gone to bed.
Pushing the door and entering the house, Gu Chengan saw Su Yin sleeping soundly on the bed, her face flushed, obviously having slept for a while.
The lights in the room were turned off, but Su Yin left the light on for him. He lit the kerosene lamp and placed it on the chest by the window. The kerosene lamp swayed in the wind, dancing with a swaying figure.
In the dim light, looking at his wife on the bed, Gu Chengan felt his heart was hot. No matter how good or bad she was outside, it didn't matter. The most important thing was this person and this lamp at home.
He took off his coat and threw it on the chair, then raised his hand to take off the watch on his wrist and put it on the chest of drawers. As he raised his hand and let it go, his eyes swept across a piece of paper on the chest of drawers. Even though his eyes had moved away, the words he just saw made him feel as if he stopped breathing for a moment.
Gu Chengan stared at the thin list on the chest of drawers with his head down, and the word "pregnant" was so clear that it penetrated his dark eyes.
