CHAPTER 458: CHAPTER 460 SUN YUHUA IS PREGNANT

Wang Xueyong wouldn’t let Lin Xuebi make a fuss about the situation. He immediately said, "Mom, Zhengping is six years old, just the right age to start school. I’m planning to send him back to the county town to study when school starts."

When Lin Xuebi and Gao Guihua heard this, they breathed a sigh of relief. Wang Xueyong then added, "Now that Mom is here, Guihua, you go and cook, I’ll go find Dad and Big Brother and Sister-in-law."

Wang Xueyong’s considerate words immediately eased Lin Xuebi’s frown. After all, Wang Xueyong had said he would send Wang Zhengping back to the county town to study when school started, so Lin Xuebi and Gao Guihua did not argue any further.

With the matter settled, Liu Haihua had no way to feel happy about it. After all, Gao Guihua had more of a rightful claim than she did, and Liu Haihua was the one who had to be kept out of sight.

Thinking this, Liu Haihua frowned. She needed to think of a strategy.

Her son was going to study in the county town, and soon she would have fewer chances to see him, and the child was still young. What if Gao Guihua led him astray later on?

But no matter what Liu Haihua thought, at this time, Mrs. Liu, Liu Haiguo, and even Feng Ying were warning Liu Haihua to consider the consequences of her actions before doing anything, so as not to bring trouble to the family.

At the Guangming Production Team, as soon as Xia Xiao came out from her space, she heard obvious vomiting noises. She paused, then heard Shitou say, "Sun Yuhua’s got a bun in the oven."

Ha, Xia Xiao glared. It was troublesome to be pregnant at this time. She didn’t know if a big belly would allow entrance into the exam hall, or if she could go to university.

However, this year’s winter was the first time the National College Entrance Examination (gaokao) had been reinstated, and there would be another chance next year around June or July, so Sun Yuhua still had opportunities.

This side, Sun Yuhua couldn’t help but retch. At this time, Gao Jiazhi was not in the room, and Sun Yuhua looked completely disheartened, even her mood was very sour.

The child in her belly was already two months old, and she had only just discovered it, but Sun Yuhua couldn’t feel happy about it.

Now in August, with the exam in winter, she wondered how she could take the exam with a big belly. And would it affect the exam if she did pass, could she go to school while pregnant?

Sun Yuhua’s brow was tightly furrowed. Between the gaokao to return to the city and the child, Sun Yuhua was having a hard time deciding.

What if the child in her belly affected her gaokao performance? Or if she passed but Gao Jiazhi didn’t? Or even if both she and her husband passed, what if she couldn’t go to school with a big belly? This wasn’t what Sun Yuhua wanted.

While all the educated youths were revising for the gaokao preparation, only Sun Yuhua was troubled. Although she was actively reading and revising every day, she didn’t forget that she was pregnant, nor did she tell her family.

And even though Sun Yuhua didn’t get diagnosed, with her period being more than two months late, she was already certain inside.

And because she was pregnant, Sun Yuhua became somewhat fatigued and sleepy, and her mental state was not good. She even had a strong reaction to morning sickness, but Sun Yuhua endured it.

It left her with no energy to revise and read. Sun Yuhua was a bit irritable and annoyed, her temper was somewhat uncontrollable, and her mood was very irritable, even undecided about what to do with the child in her belly.

The child was something Sun Yuhua had always looked forward to, but it came at an inconvenient time just as the gaokao was approaching. The gaokao, a chance to return to the city, how could Sun Yuhua willingly miss it.

Meanwhile, Xia Xiao quietly asked Shitou, "Can you tell how long it’s been? Why didn’t you tell me earlier?"

"You’re the one to talk. If you don’t let me out, how can I tell you?" Shitou accused. It was growing less fond of staying in the space, but Xia Xiao sometimes forgot to bring it out.

Nevertheless, Shitou answered Xia Xiao’s question, "Judging by how you were when you were pregnant, a bit over two months."

Shitou’s words fell, and Xia Xiao’s mood instantly became complicated. Sun Yuhua was probably conflicted by now. Xia Xiao knew Sun Yuhua had longed for a child, but with the return of the gaokao, choosing one over the other, Sun Yuhua was indeed in a difficult position.

At that moment, Xia Xiao remembered what Ning Hui once said and her heart inexplicably skipped a beat. So did Sun Yuhua choose the gaokao over the child?

Could that be why she left with Gao Jiazhi? Thinking this, Xia Xiao felt it was very likely.

Sun Yuhua kept it a secret, and Xia Xiao pretended not to know. She was now preoccupied with Yang Xuehua’s matters, so she made a trip to Youth Point.

Yang Xuehua said with a smile, "I have some good news to tell you."

"What good news?" Xia Xiao asked.

"I got a letter of recommendation from Secretary Cheng and the team leader. I can take the gaokao," Yang Xuehua said, her eyes reddening slightly with great excitement.

Xia Xiao also wore a smile, genuinely happy for Yang Xuehua, and relieved.

"I’m really happy," Yang Xuehua said, thrilled about being able to register for the gaokao.

"Keep up the revision. Sister Xuehua, you will definitely achieve good results," Xia Xiao said.

"You too. Let’s study together," Yang Xuehua and Xia Xiao held each other’s hands, offering mutual support and encouragement.

After seeing Yang Xuehua, Xia Xiao went to see Xia Jing. Xia Jing and Yan Hao were also working very hard, as it was their only hope to return to the city.

"Sister, now that you’re four months along, will it delay the... Now that you’re pregnant, and also because you have to revise for exams, Xia Xiao’s several sons are being looked after by Zheng Xianghong and Weilin, making it a lot easier for Xia Xiao.

Having left Youth Point, Xia Xiao returned home only to hear Sun Yuhua vomiting again. At that time, Gao Guoqiang, Zheng Xianghong, Gao Jiazhi, and Weilin, along with Feiyang and Feiyue, and Feiyi weren’t at home.

Just stepping through the gate, Xia Xiao saw Sun Yuhua, looking pale, opening the door and walking out of the room. Xia Xiao hurriedly said, "Sister Yuhua, are you not feeling well? Why is your complexion so bad?"

"Why are you here?" Sun Yuhua asked warily, looking at Xia Xiao.

"I just came back from Youth Point," Xia Xiao replied.

"I’m fine. I stayed up too late reviewing last night and didn’t sleep well," Sun Yuhua said.

Xia Xiao knew Sun Yuhua was still internally conflicted and in a dilemma, but this was Sun Yuhua’s own issue. Xia Xiao didn’t know what to say, so she just pretended not to know.
