Chapter 1299 Extra Chapter 5: This Child Came at the Right Time
"Prepare!"
"five four three two one!"
"Target in the water!"
At the beach not far from the camp's pier, at a command, someone immediately pushed a large object into the water.
Qin Anning and several other colleagues watched intently as the probe entered the water. Soon, the receiver in Qin Anning's hand also reacted immediately.
"Got it! We've received the information from the detector!"
"So, we succeeded?"
Qin Anning murmured, and the female comrade beside her happily hugged her.
"Yes, our newly developed Jiaolong probe is a success!"
"Great! All my hard work over the past few months has finally paid off!"
Qin Anning breathed a sigh of relief and immediately recorded the information fed back by the detector.
The ocean detector they are sending into the sea for testing is a replica of a sonar torpedo they captured. This device can not only dive to depths of 500 to 600 meters to conduct research, but it can also prevent seawater corrosion and send relevant information back to land.
It may seem like just a few words, but it's not easy to put into practice.
Qin Anning's research team conducted repeated experiments for half a year, and today is the first time the actual product has been launched into the water.
The research team members basically didn't sleep at all last night, fearing that something might go wrong during the experiment. Fortunately, so far, everything is normal.
"Everyone has worked hard. Have a good rest after lunch!"
The research team leader raised his hand, and the group, beaming with joy, took the equipment and returned to the camp.
Qin Anning was busy putting the recorded data into a file folder when someone knocked on the door.
"Please come in."
The office door was pushed open, and Qin Anning looked up to see her assistant, Xiao Xu.
"Engineer Qin, I've prepared lunch for you. Come and eat!"
"Oh, thank you, I'll be right there."
As Qin Anning spoke, she finished calculating the last set of data.
The research team usually eats in the conference room, because when they get busy, they often forget to eat.
They even hold meetings while eating, or get so engrossed in discussions halfway through a meal that they only continue eating when the food gets cold. This kind of thing happens quite often.
When Qin Anning entered the conference room, she immediately saw her lunchbox on the table.
When her colleagues saw her coming, they quickly greeted her, "Engineer Qin, come on over, the cafeteria has steamed pork with rice flour today!"
"Steamed pork with rice flour? What a delicious dish!"
Qin Anning smiled and said, "I've been busy all morning, and I'm actually a little hungry."
"Who says otherwise? Oh well, thankfully today's test results were good, so I can relax a bit during the holiday in a couple of days!"
Colleague Liu Feng muttered to herself as she stuffed rice into her mouth. Qin Anning opened her lunchbox, and sure enough, there were two fragrant pieces of pork with rice flour filling. Underneath the pork were tofu, radish, and rice.
For some reason, Qin Anning felt inexplicably nauseous.
Could it be that I've been too hungry?
Qin Anning muttered to herself, then turned and pulled a bottle of fish chili sauce from the drawer.
This fish chili sauce is both fragrant and spicy; it should be able to mask my nausea.
"Mr. Liu, would you like some?"
"Yes, yes, of course I want it!"
Upon hearing this, Liu Fenglian hurriedly pushed her lunchbox over.
"Hehe, I've been waiting for you to say that! Engineer Qin, I'm not saying this to be mean, but the chili sauce your husband makes is absolutely amazing."
It tastes even better than what people in Sichuan province make!
Liu Fenglian is from Sichuan Province and usually loves spicy food. Sometimes she forgets to eat and the cafeteria runs out of food, but she and Qin Anning can still eat two steamed buns with chili sauce.
Qin Anning smiled proudly upon hearing this, but the next second, a strong fishy smell hit her, and her beautiful brows instantly furrowed.
"Strange, is this hot sauce spoiled? It tastes particularly fishy to me."
"No, I really enjoy it!"
Liu Fenglian looked up in confusion, while Qin Anning, skeptical, scooped up a spoonful of rice and stuffed it into her mouth. The strong fishy smell made her rush to the bathroom.
Hearing the vomiting sounds coming from the bathroom, Liu Fenglian put down her spoon in confusion and then hurried into the bathroom.
"Engineer Qin, have you been working too hard these past few days? Is your stomach problem acting up again?"
Qin Anning shook her head. "I don't know either. I just thought the fish and meat tasted very fishy."
"fishy?"
Liu Fenglian was puzzled. Their dishes were the same, and she had just eaten quite a lot of them without noticing any fishy smell.
Suddenly, a thought flashed through her mind, and Liu Fenglian looked at Qin Anning and tentatively asked, "Engineer Qin, are you... pregnant?"
"Got it? What is it?"
Qin Anning was confused and looked at Liu Fenglian blankly.
Seeing her confused look, Liu Fenglian became a little anxious.
"Oh my, of course you have a child! You've been married for a year now, how come you still don't know anything!"
As Liu Fenglian spoke, she became more and more convinced that her guess was correct. "You're exactly like me when I was pregnant with my son. You feel like throwing up at the sight of everything. Oh dear, you should go to the health station to get checked out. Nine times out of ten, you're pregnant!"
As she spoke, Liu Fenglian couldn't help but feel happy for Qin Anning again.
"This child is so sensible. He only came after our big project was finished. It just so happens that you haven't been too busy lately, so you can go back and get some rest. By the time the new project starts next year, this child should have already been born."
Oh dear, it doesn't cause any delay at all!
Qin Anning felt her head buzzing.
pregnant?
how could be!
She and Fu Ming always took precautions.
Fu Ming had picked up all those family planning supplies from the hospital, filling an entire drawer at home. How could she possibly be pregnant!
Qin Anning was a little confused. She tried hard to recall for a while, and suddenly, she remembered something.
Good heavens, it seems that she and Fu Ming didn't use protection when she went home to rest after being reported last time!
I thought it wouldn't matter if it happened once or twice, but could it be that I got pregnant then?
Qin Anning touched her belly and fell into deep thought. Two months had passed since that incident, and she seemed to have gained a little weight recently, but she was too busy with work to think about it.
As for menstruation, ever since my sister passed away, perhaps because I was too preoccupied with my feelings, my periods have been irregular.
Sometimes it's possible that they won't have their period for a month or two.
But am I really pregnant?
Qin Anning stood up abruptly. "I...I'll go to the clinic!"
The health station had a female doctor and equipment, and Qin Anning got the answer in no time.
Two months pregnant.
Liu Fenglian was right; the child's arrival was perfectly timed.
The research team's work then mainly involved monitoring the messages sent back by the underwater probe. This wasn't particularly busy, so she took the opportunity to give birth!
As for taking care of the children, she believed that with Fu Ming and Ye Xiaocui there, there wouldn't be any problems.
Thinking of this, Qin Anning felt a surge of joy. She had to call Fu Ming; he would be ecstatic!
