Because the broad masses of the people posted comments on the international internet saying, "If the scientific big shots of the 70s hadn't died early, Huaguo would have been the world'...
However, seeing these two come together, there must be something going on.
"Come in and sit down, I'll get you some water."
Seeing that they were sweating, I realized they had really tried hard to catch up with me.
He quickly poured out three glasses of water, one for each of them, and the last one was for himself. He had been rushing back and was quite tired from walking.
"Tell me, what brings you here?"
"We're not looking for you now, we're looking for your wife. By the way, where is your wife? Did she go out?" They've been here for about two minutes, and they've been talking the whole time. If Ruan Ruan were home, she should have come out by now.
"...My wife is very sleepy right now, she should still be asleep. Please wait a moment, I'll go wake her up."
As her pregnancy progressed, Ruan Ruan became increasingly sleepy, now sleeping for more than ten hours a day. Sometimes, if she slept too much in the afternoon, she wouldn't be able to go to sleep until 11 or 12 at night, but then she would sleep until noon. At first, Huo Haocheng thought she had some kind of illness, but after observing her and having Ruan Ruan check herself, he was relieved to find out that it was just a reaction to pregnancy.
"Honey, wake up, Xuyang and Brother Chen are here to see you."
Having gained experience in waking her up during this time, he only needed to whisper a few words in her ear, and when he saw her move, he would immediately pick her up, and she would wake up in no time.
After she regained consciousness, he told her that Zheng Xuyang and Chen Liang had come to see her and were in the main room.
Knowing they had arrived, Ruan Ruan got out of his arms, straightened her clothes and hair, and then followed him out.
"Brother Xuyang, Brother Chen, is there something you need from me?"
"Tomorrow is the day the roof beams of the school and the staff dormitory building are to be completed. We thought that as the boss and founder, you should be there, so we came to tell you."
They had originally planned it very well. Ruan Ruan's speech at the annual meeting still gets them excited. But now that they see her, they don't know if she is still in good health enough to speak.
This was the first time they had ever seen a pregnant woman sleep so much.
"So fast? I was hoping to finish before July, that would be great! I didn't expect it to be a month ahead of schedule!" Previously, her plan was to finish around July, then she could discuss with her uncle about getting more staff from Mayor Guo. She could negotiate with bookstores to buy study materials and extracurricular reading materials, but she would need to coordinate with the performing arts troupe for musical instruments. This sudden move a month ahead of schedule, especially since school starts in September, means she still doesn't have enough time to prepare, even with over three months to prepare.
"Didn't Huo Haocheng tell you? When he came to see us that day, it was almost finished. The supermarket was also finished a long time ago. The time has been getting longer and longer. In order to have our own house as soon as possible, everyone has been working overtime to build it, which is why it was able to be completed so far ahead of schedule."
Speaking of this, Zheng Xuyang was also very happy. The house was completed, which meant that his wedding date was coming soon and the burden on his shoulders was lighter. God knows how he got through this period of time.
Every day, I'm either checking with Chen Liang to see if we have enough materials, or going over various accounts with the finance department.
Now everything is fine; the buildings and school are completed. The next things to do are assigning staff and transferring teachers. These are minor matters compared to what happened before.
When Ruan Ruan heard Zheng Xuyang say this, she looked at Huo Haocheng and saw a question mark on his face. She knew that he had been focusing all his energy on her lately and had probably forgotten about the house.
"Okay, what time tomorrow?" Although she said yes, she wasn't sure, and didn't know if she could even get up.
"I had someone check it out. 10 a.m. tomorrow is a good time." Chen Liang saw that she asked about the time, so she should be able to attend. He remembered that she had asked him to have someone check the location before, so this time he had that person secretly calculate the time as well.
Actually, when he first came into contact with this industry, he didn't have so many taboos. After all, there is a lot of crackdown on feudal superstition now. But later, as he encountered more things and met more people, he gradually adapted to local customs.
"10 o'clock, okay, I understand, I will be there on time tomorrow morning."
She calculated the time and realized that Huo Haocheng would wake her up right after he returned from his morning training. However, the thought of sacrificing her morning sleep still gave her a headache.
"Alright, we've delivered the message. We won't bother you any longer. We'll head back now." With that, the two got up and started to leave.
"Hey, you're already here, have some dinner before you go back!" Ruan Ruan didn't expect them to leave so soon after saying that. They weren't outsiders here, how could she let them come and go without even eating?
"We won't eat here. You're not feeling well right now, so just rest. There will be plenty of time later."
They had thought it through clearly. Ruan Ruan had just gotten up, so the meal definitely hadn't been started yet. Besides, given her current physical condition, Huo Haocheng was probably the one cooking. He had been training all day, and they felt bad about having to cook for them when he got back. So they let it go. They hadn't planned to eat at their house when they came.
Hearing them tell her to get some rest, Ruan Ruan didn't understand. She had just gotten up, so why was they telling her to rest? If she kept resting, she really wouldn't need to sleep at all that night.
While she was still thinking, Huo Haocheng had already seen them out of the courtyard.
"Alright, you can go back now. No need to see me off. Taking care of your wife is the most important thing." With that, the two of them turned around and went back chatting and laughing without looking back.
After Huo Haocheng brought them back, Ruan Ruan pulled him aside and asked, "Just now, did they misunderstand something? Did they think I was unwell because I got up so late?"
Huo Haocheng hadn't thought much about what they were saying earlier, but now, reminded by his wife, he came to his senses.
"Never mind, let them think what they want. Are you hungry? I'll go cook something. You sit down and rest for a bit. I'll be done soon."
Huo Haocheng said he didn't care what they thought about it; if their thinking made them visit his wife less, that would be fine too.
Huo Haocheng never expected that his simple idea would be shattered by Zheng Xuyang. After Zheng Xuyang and Chen Liang returned to the factory, Huo Haoshen and the others were waiting for them there.
They usually eat all three meals at the factory before going home. The reason they wanted to wait for them today was to ask about Ruan Ruan's health. After learning that Ruan Ruan was pregnant, they found time to visit her, but the factory had been too busy lately, so they hadn't been able to go. Today, Zheng Xuyang finally found time to go, but they hadn't finished their work, so they could only wait for him to come back and tell them about his recent situation.
So when Huo Haoshen learned during the meal that Ruan Ruan was not feeling well and had been resting in bed, he couldn't sit still. He put down his chopsticks and ran back to his office to make a phone call home.
