Chapter 1651
It was purely an accident.
Although black bears are wild animals, their intelligence is much higher than that of dogs.
This can be clearly seen from the fact that they wave to humans in the mountains, there are various legends of "human bears" and "bear devils", and the fact that bears in circuses can understand human speech and perform various shows with the help of humans.
Since these two bear cubs came to Wang An's house, perhaps because they spend all their time with people, they have started to see themselves as human. They have even developed feelings for each other due to the happiness and joy they experience every day.
To put it simply, happiness and joy like "Qiqi," and the two black bears also like being "carried around by Qiqi," which makes them very happy as their little owner is carried around the living room and the yard.
Of course, this is mainly because since they came to Wang An's house, they have never lacked food and drink. Pumpkin, carrot, sweet potato, potato, radish and cabbage are their favorites.
Besides these vegetables, Wang Anjia also steams two separate batches of mixed cornmeal buns with a little wheat flour each time he makes steamed buns. The main purpose of these mixed cornmeal buns is to feed the black bears.
As for meat, they were only given cooked meat; raw meat was not given to them, as Wang An worried that raw meat would bring out their bloodlust.
Don't let their weight of only 60 or 70 pounds fool you; they have quite the appetite. They can each eat ten or eight fist-sized steamed buns in one meal.
Perhaps because of this, the two bears have been completely devoid of the ferocity that black bears should have, thanks to the feeding they've received from Wang An's family.
Even so, they still got beaten up quite a bit. For example, when they pounced on the chicks, when they climbed into the sheepfold to try to catch the lambs, or when they sneaked into the henhouse to steal eggs, they would inevitably get a beating.
There's no way around it; bears are bears after all. From a young age, they have to be taught what they should and shouldn't do. Besides, in Northeast China, even disobedient children get beaten, let alone bears.
In short, they have to be beaten up.
With two bears and two little ones to play with, Wang An was once again freed up. The main reason was that ever since the two bears came into the house, the two little ones had forgotten about their father and didn't look for Wang An at all.
So Wang An picked up a gun again, dipped a cloth in some maintenance oil, and began to wipe it very carefully.
Although a gun is just a lump of iron, Wang An always felt that a gun has feelings and a life. Only if you treat it well can it treat you well. If you don't take good care of it, it is very likely to malfunction at a critical moment.
Just as Wang An was carefully cleaning his gun, Mu Xueqing, who was picking wild vegetables with Huang Li, suddenly said:
"Xiao An, can you make me a fish before noon? I want to eat boiled fish made with sturgeon."
Wang An subconsciously agreed:
"A sturgeon? We might not be able to catch a sturgeon. What if we catch another kind of fish?"
Wang An's fishpond has quite a few fish, but it contains all sorts of fish.
When Wang Anjia ate fish, he would only cast one net and then eat whatever fish he caught.
Mu Xueqing shook her head and said:
"No, I only want to eat boiled fish made with sturgeon, I don't want to eat any other fish."
Wang An paused for a moment upon hearing this, then said jokingly:
"Are you sick? Why do you insist on eating boiled fish made with sturgeon? Boiled fish tastes the same no matter what other fish is used to make it."
According to Wang An, the key to the success of boiled fish lies in the seasonings, and since the local fish are all cold-water fish with excellent meat quality, boiled fish is delicious no matter what kind of fish is used.
However, Wang An then added with a chuckle:
"Sure, whatever you say you want to eat, that's what we call being the head of the household, hahaha. It's just a matter of casting a few more nets." After Wang An finished speaking, he saw Mu Xueqing say with a worried expression:
"Xiao An, I haven't had my period this month. Do you think I might be pregnant?"
Mu Xueqing's periods have always been very regular, and she has always been in good health, without experiencing any colds, fevers, or other issues that might affect her menstrual cycle. So, since Mu Xueqing said that, it's highly likely that she is pregnant.
Upon hearing this, Wang An's eyes widened immediately. Could it be that he was going to have another son or daughter? This was truly a great surprise for Wang An.
Just as Wang An was about to speak, Mu Xueqing said with a worried expression:
"Xiao An, what if I get pregnant again? The investigation into paternity procedures is so strict now, do we have to go to the hospital to have an abortion?"
Upon hearing this, Wang An's initial excitement immediately subsided.
The main problem is that if you use ultrasound at this time, it's no joke.
At best, they'll be fined and forced to make a chastity belt; at worst, well, let's not even talk about it, it's really harsh.
After a moment's hesitation, Wang An calmly and domineeringly said:
"Of course we can't have an abortion. We have to give birth. It's okay. If they dare to come to our house and act tough, I'll let them know what happens when they offend me."
After his rebirth, Wang An only wanted to live a free and happy life according to his own will, without wanting to offend anyone or cause trouble.
But all of this is on the premise that others don't mess with you or your family.
If Mu Xueqing is pregnant this time, it would be purely accidental, because the two of them have always taken precautions, such as calculating the date, using the in-vitro fertilization method, and using rubber condoms, which are very unreliable in this era.
In short, Wang An definitely did not intentionally get Mu Xueqing pregnant.
But now that the child has arrived, Wang An cannot allow him or her to be deprived of the wonders of this world.
Furthermore, Wang An knew that induced abortion was very bad for a woman's health, especially in an era when medical technology was still underdeveloped.
The main reason is that Wang An had heard many stories of women dying on the operating table due to abortions in his previous life.
After Wang An finished speaking, Mu Xueqing said:
"Xiao An, we can't do anything foolish. Can we really go against them? Kuaile and Xingfu are already so old. If you go against them and something happens to them, what will happen to our family and the children?"
For once, Mu Xueqing revealed a very vulnerable side.
It's not that Mu Xueqing was afraid, but the ultrasound examinations were very strict at this time, and many people were taken away.
Wang An's mind raced, but he continued to comfort Mu Xueqing with a smile:
"Oh, don't worry, I'll take care of everything."
After a pause, Wang An continued:
"Okay, I'll take you to the county to check now. If it's true, I can make arrangements in advance. We'll try not to go against them. As long as the baby is born safely in nine months, we'll pay the fine and that's it. It's just a fine, what's the big deal!"
As he spoke, Wang An stood up. (End of Chapter)
