When Xu Junhui arrived home, everyone else had already finished lunch. He quickly finished his meal, cleaned up the dishes, and then went back to his room.

When Huang Qinqin saw Xu Junhui return, she sat up from the bed and asked, "Junhui, you're back. Have you eaten? The food is in the pot."

"Did I wake you up? I ate."

Xu Junhui thought that he had made too much noise when he came back and woke her up, so he said apologetically.

Huang Qinqin shook her head, then reached out to Xu Junhui, indicating that she wanted a hug. Ever since leaving the hospital, Huang Qinqin had been wanting Xu Junhui to hug her.

Xu Junhui held Huang Qinqin in his arms and asked in a low voice, "What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell somewhere?"

Huang Qinqin wrapped her arms around Xu Junhui's waist and replied in a muffled voice, "I'm not uncomfortable, it just feels a little unreal. I want you to hug me~"

Xu Junhui glanced at his watch and realized it was getting late, so he gently suggested to her, "How about I hold you while you sleep for a bit?"

"Um."

Huang Qinqin just wanted to be close to Xu Junhui, even just to sleep in his arms.

Just as Huang Qinqin was half-lying on Xu Junhui as usual, Xu Junhui suddenly sat up with his arms around her and shouted.

Huang Qinqin was startled and asked, still shaken, "What are you doing? You scared me to death..."

She didn't want to cling to him anymore, and suddenly found Xu Junhui somewhat of an eyesore. Ironically, Xu Junhui himself was completely oblivious.

Xu Junhui said worriedly, "Honey, did you accidentally crush the baby while you were lying like that?"

Huang Qinqin looked down at her stomach. Hmm, it was perfectly flat. So flat that she had forgotten she was pregnant.

She said uncertainly, "It shouldn't be... right? She's so young, it shouldn't be a problem, right?" After saying that, she patted her stomach as if she were patting a watermelon.

"Hey, hey, hey! Honey, you can't take pictures like this!"

Xu Junhui was so startled by Huang Qinqin's actions that he almost jumped up. He quickly stepped forward to stop her.

Huang Qinqin smiled sheepishly at Xu Junhui: "It shouldn't hurt you. I just patted it and didn't feel anything."

Okay...

Although he didn't understand the connection, Xu Junhui felt that if he listened to Huang Qinqin's idea, as long as his wife didn't feel uncomfortable, there shouldn't be any problems with the child.

Then he lay down with Huang Qinqin in his arms, and before closing his eyes to sleep, he realized that he had forgotten to convey his mother-in-law's words.

So, while he still remembered, he quickly said, "By the way, honey, Mom and Dad said they're coming to see you this weekend. We'll be waiting for them at home then."

"But aren't we going to Chenjia Village to visit our second aunt this weekend?"

They were supposed to go last week, but they happened to have an exam at the department store last week, so Huang Jiancai and his family stayed at home. They couldn't just leave their guests behind.

So Xu Weiguo went to tell Xu Fang that he would visit them with his family this weekend.

Xu Junhui suddenly realized what was happening. Could he say he had no recollection of this at all?

Trying to remain calm, she said, "It's okay, I'll discuss it with my parents later. Besides, you're newly pregnant, so you shouldn't travel too much. My aunt's house is still a bit far away."

"Okay, just remember to tell your parents."

After saying that, he yawned and slowly fell asleep.

......

Xu Junhui originally planned that he and Huang Qinqin would stay at home to receive his parents-in-law, while Xu Weiguo and the others would go to visit his second aunt's family.

However, Zhang Yumei said that this was not very respectful to either family, so she personally went to Chen Zhaodi's house to explain.

Then it became that the Huang family would come over for dinner after get off work tomorrow night, and then, during their rest time, they would continue to visit Xu Fang as planned.

Chen Zhaodi has been worried about Huang Qinqin these past two days, fearing that she might not know the seriousness of her first pregnancy and that she might not be able to stand the smell of cooking oil while she is pregnant and still has to cook.

When she arrived at the Xu family home, she realized that she had been thinking about all this for nothing.

Everyone in the Xu family was busy preparing dinner to entertain them; even Xu Weiguo was working.

Huang Qinqin, on the other hand, sat to the side eating like a queen. Food was piled up in front of her, and Xu Junhui even sat next to her peeling sunflower seeds for her...

Huang Eryuan, Huang Jianguo, and Huang Jianjun expressed their satisfaction with Xu Junhui's actions.

Chen Zhaodi's feelings were somewhat complicated. On one hand, she was happy that her daughter was being valued. But on the other hand, she worried that this treatment was only because of her pregnancy, and what if things changed after the baby was born?

Can my daughter handle such a huge drop in status?

When Xu Junhui saw them arrive, he quickly stood up and greeted them: "Mom and Dad, eldest brother and second brother, it's almost time to eat. Please sit down first. If you're hungry, have something to eat first."

"It's alright, don't be shy, we'll just sit for a while."

"Qinqin, Mom brought you some things. Would it be convenient for you to take me to your room?"

Xu Junhui thought he could just give it to him directly, but Huang Qinqin felt that Chen Zhaodi had something to say to her, so she gently shook her head at Xu Junhui.

Then, she obediently said to Chen Zhaodi, "Okay, Mom, come with me. I'll take you to your room to put it down."

......

Chen Zhaodi closed the door, glanced at Huang Qinqin's room, and finally sat down at their desk.

"Honey, it's been almost two months since you got married. How have you been doing at the Xu family home? Has Junhui changed at all compared to before or right after the wedding?"

Huang Qinqin knew she would ask these questions. Although she always said she was doing well when she went back to her parents' home, Chen Zhaodi was still a little worried without seeing it for herself.

"Mom, I'm doing fine. Even before I found out I was pregnant, I still needed to buy groceries and cook at home, and my mother-in-law would go with me."

“Junhui usually does all the other housework, including washing the clothes. After he found out I was pregnant a couple of days ago, he didn’t even let me cook anymore.”

Hearing this, Chen Zhaodi frowned even more, and asked with disbelief, "Really? Don't your in-laws have any objections? And you're not lying to me, are you?"

It does sound like she's doing well, but Chen Zhaodi is afraid that Huang Qinqin's behavior will displease Zhang Yumei and the others. They are still newlyweds, and as long as Xu Junhui protects her, everything will be fine.

But if Xu Junhui changes after a while, and Zhang Yumei and the others have a problem with Huang Qinqin, she will have a very difficult time.

Huang Qinqin could roughly guess what Chen Zhaodi was struggling with. She said confidently, "Mom, don't worry, Grandma and the others have no objections."

“The Xu family is similar to our family; the men do more of the work. My mother-in-law even taught me how to coax Junhui so that he would be more willing to work.”

"How could she possibly have a problem with that? If you don't believe me, you can touch my hand. Doesn't it look like a hand that does a lot of manual labor?"
