He didn't need to go back to work. Du Ruiqi locked himself in his room everyday and seriously devoured the books and information that Fang Hepian had given him.

Ding Zhihua went back and forth from work as usual, and the two of them barely had any physical contact. It seemed that they got used to each other after a while, except that the two of them became more silent.

Ding Zhihua followed Du Ruiqi down from the back. Seeing her like this, he hurriedly followed and patted her back, asking with concern: "What's wrong?"

"Then there must be." Fang Hepian said.

"What is it?" Ding Zhihua asked, puzzled.

"Silly child, you're going to be a father!" Fang Hepian lovingly touched Ding Zhihua's head.

"What?" Ding Zhihua opened his eyes wide, feeling that this was unbelievable.

Is that possible? Ricky and I will have children? Can you even get pregnant like this? Ding Zhihua could not believe that it was true.

"It must be true! Today, I'll take Ricky to the hospital. It can't be wrong. " Fang Hepian said with certainty, "Rui Qi, drink some porridge and eat some eggs. I'll bring you to the county's people's hospital to have a look."

Du Ruiqi sat there in a daze.

She also could not believe that he and Ding Zhihua would be pregnant. Only a few times a couple of times their lives ended before they even started, so how could they get pregnant?

If not, could this child be? Du Ruiqi suddenly remembered the last time he met Zhu Qingyun before their marriage. Zhu Qingyun did not expel the essence from his body, but had instead expelled it from her body.

Heavens, did the thing he was worried about really come? If that was the case, what should he do? Can this child still have it? Du Ruiqi trembled a little. She would rather believe that it was just an illusion than real!

Fang Hepian excitedly brought Du Ruiqi to the People's Hospital of Yuhe County to have a look, where Du Ruiqi was dragged around like a puppet by Fang Hepian.

After tormenting himself for a long time, the result finally came out: Positive, Du Ruiqi is really pregnant!

She sat slumped in a chair in the hospital hallway, exhausted. It was a feeling of despair, as if someone had been sentenced to death. The darkness before her eyes was such that she couldn't imagine what would happen to the child if she was born.

"Rui Qi, let's go home." Fang Hepian happily pulled Du Ruiqi's hand and was about to leave.

"Mom, I feel very tired and uncomfortable. Wait a moment." Du Ruiqi said weakly.

"Okay, wait a minute. "Are you afraid of having children? Let me tell you, don't be afraid, when the time comes, you will naturally be born. Besides, with how good your medical skills are right now, you can even have a cesarean section if you don't have a child. Fang Hepian thought that Du Ruiqi was afraid of giving birth to children because of the pain.

In the end, with Fang Hepian's support, Du Ruiqi sat on the rickshaw and finally returned home.

When Ding Guangxin came back from work, he was very happy to hear that Rui Qi was pregnant and started humming a tune.

After Ding Zhihua returned home, he weakly sat on the sofa.

Fang Hepian came out of the kitchen, laughing: "Son, you're going to be a daddy now!"

Ding Zhihua didn't even raise his head as he let out a heavy sigh.

Fang Hepian felt that it was weird, why was she not happy at all when she was about to become a father, and instead had a look of helplessness and pain? Rui Qi is sick and sick, what's wrong with you?

"What's the matter with you, Zhihua?" Fang Hepian asked.

"Hai, it's nothing. There's been a lot of things happening in the department recently, so I feel really tired." Ding Zhihua said.

"Foolish son, how can you be so tired from work? When you get home, don't even think about working. Now that you're going to be a father, you should be happy! " Fang Hepian said.

"Hmph." Ding Zhihua let out a sound from his nose, and considered it as a response. Ever since he was young, he had almost always followed his mother's words. He had never once resisted.

But today, Ding Zhihua really did not want to sit here, and did not want to face his mother whose face was filled with joy. Thus, he got up and returned to his room.

Originally, he wanted to lie down on the bed, but he never thought that Du Ruiqi was lying down on the bed!

This child's arrival was strange, Ding Zhihua really did not want to face Du Ruiqi. Without stopping, he turned and headed towards another room, and laid on a bed that no one had slept on for a long time.

The thick curtains in the room blocked out the afterglow of the setting sun, leaving only darkness behind.

As Ding Zhihua laid on his bed, a question kept popping up in his mind: Can I have children? Does a man with premature ejaculation have such a function? Yes, ask the doctor? But how could he say it out loud?

Ding Zhihua was in a hurry to clarify this question, but no one could give him an answer.

In his heart, he was searching for the people around him. Was there anyone who knew about this? Suddenly, a person appeared in his mind, Wang Lihua! This is Ding Zhihua's junior high school classmate, he is currently working in a county paid-in office, she should understand a little bit, right?

But then she thought, after so many years without any contact, how could he have the face to ask her such a question? Besides, if others knew his secret, how would he have the face to see others in the Yuhe County? How would he be able to stay?

Yuhe County was a small place, the size of one's palm, but if anyone had anything to do with their family, it would be known by the entire county! No, he absolutely could not let anyone else know her secret!

Just as his mind was wandering, he heard Fang Hepian calling for him to eat downstairs.

Ding Zhihua originally did not want to go down to eat, but he knew that his mother would definitely not agree. In order to not let his mother come upstairs, he could only force himself to get up from the bed.

As he opened the door and came out, he saw that Du Ruiqi had also come out of her room. Ding Zhihua was startled for a moment, and then walked over, but Du Ruiqi acted as if she was fine and held Ding Zhihua's hand, walking down the stairs.

Fang Hepian saw the two of them coming down the ship arm in arm and was very happy in her heart.

Fang Hepian had prepared a lot of dishes that Du Ruiqi liked to eat, she gave her a lot of food, and while eating, he told her a lot of things she should take note of in the future. For example, in life, she had to pay attention to her children.

Du Ruiqi was very clear in her heart that her mother-in-law was hinting to him and her wife to live a life of restraint.

This made Ding Zhihua and Du Ruiqi feel extremely awkward in their hearts. There was no such thing as a life between them, so how could they control it?

After the meal, Du Ruiqi went to help him clean the tableware as usual. Fang Hepian immediately stopped him, and shouted towards the living room: "Old Ding, come and help!" Then, he turned to Du Ruiqi and said, "Rui Qi, stop doing all this from now on and rest well and take care of your body!"

Du Ruiqi could only put down the bowl and chopsticks in her hands and enter the courtyard to take a breath of fresh air. She knew that from today onwards, she would become the most precious person in her grandma's eyes.

She originally wanted to ask Ding Zhihua to accompany her for a walk, but she did not expect that Ding Zhihua would have already disappeared. Du Ruiqi had no choice but to go out by himself and walk slowly along the small river near his house.

The river flowed through the city, and the water was as clear as the water in Yu He. The residents on both sides of the river were searching for rice and washing vegetables, washing clothes.

But now, the water in the river was a bit turbid. After the residents' homes used the running water, they modified the bathroom, and most of the domestic sewage was directly discharged into the river, making the water more and more turbid.

Few people were washing their clothes here anymore, not to mention washing their vegetables with rice. There were also some black filth that had accumulated under the oiled light stones on both sides.

Du Ruiqi originally wanted to come out to take a breath of fresh air, but she did not expect to smell the strange smell of the river instead.

Du Ruiqi hurriedly changed her direction and walked out along the main road.

After finishing his meal, Ding Zhihua rushed out. Right now, staying at home and facing Du Ruiqi was a total torture to him. He only wanted to escape!

Ding Zhihua aimlessly walked forward, and unknowingly, he arrived at the side of the Yu He.

The water in the Yu He flowed quietly, and the last bit of the summer night's sunlight sprinkled onto the river, shining golden. There were many camphor trees growing on both sides of the river. Every day, many people would take advantage of the cool breeze blowing on the Yu He, causing people to feel refreshed. This was a good place to go to during the summer heat.

Ding Zhihua was not in the mood to enjoy the cool weather, nor did he have the mood to appreciate the scenery of the Yu He. He leaned on the railings impatiently, and looked at the river in front of him. What would happen if he jumped? Maybe there wouldn't be so much trouble!

But reason told him that he couldn't do that. He was his mother's life follower, if he jumped like this, his home would be ruined. People couldn't be so selfish, and they couldn't base their relief on their mother's pain. he said to himself.

Seeing that there was someone picking out a newspaper from a kiosk, Ding Zhihua also walked over. He didn't know what he was looking at, so he simply flipped through it. The top magazine caught his attention. On the cover was a guide: Is male premature ejaculation still fertile?

Seeing this title, Ding Zhihua's heart immediately beat faster. Wasn't this what he wanted to ask? He was about to flip through the page to see what was going on, but he didn't expect to see the person selling the newspaper looking at him. Ding Zhihua immediately stopped and rolled the magazine in his hands and said: "I want this."

"Three dollars." the man said, sorting through the newspaper. Ding Zhihua quickly took out the money and gave it to him. Then, he walked forward in large strides, arrived at a place with less people, and sat down under a tree.

Before flipping through the magazine, he looked around to make sure no one was watching him before he turned to the page.

He did not care about the previous question at all. He just wanted to know the result as soon as possible. Hence, his eyes swept across the part where he answered:
