At this time, it was the time when the brigade was finishing work, and the brigade leader and Huo Yue were still in the village office registering the return of farm tools and checking work points.

As soon as the phone rang, the captain picked it up immediately.

"This is..." Before the captain could finish speaking, he heard Huo Haoshen's rapid-fire voice on the other end of the phone.

"Uncle, Uncle, I have to tell you, Ruan Ruan is pregnant. She's not feeling well right now and needs to stay in bed. Could you please tell Grandpa and Grandma and see who can come and help take care of her? My older brother has to train every day and can't take good care of Ruan Ruan." Huo Haoshen held the phone, his voice choked with emotion, as if he was about to hang up any moment because of Ruan Ruan's pregnancy.

When Captain Huo on the other end of the phone heard his words, he was first stunned, then filled with deep worry. How could things have gone so wrong when she was pregnant?

"Huo Haoshen, speak properly to me. What's wrong with Ruan Ruan's health? How did she suddenly become bedridden?"

At this moment, the captain had already thought of a million ways to make Ruan Ruan's health deteriorate. The most likely reason was that the two young people were not being watched by adults and would definitely do something reckless.

“Uncle, I don’t know either. Zheng Xuyang just came back from my brother’s house, and I asked him about Ruan Ruan’s condition. He told me that she’s not feeling well and needs to rest in bed. I was very worried when I heard that, so I called you immediately.”

Huo Haoshen's mind was filled with images of Ruan Ruan's poor health and bedridden state. He couldn't bear to imagine that the lively girl who had been so energetic in front of him was now lying alone in bed, pale-faced.

"Alright, I know. Find some time to go see Ruan Yatou tomorrow. I'll go home and discuss it with your grandparents and see who will go to take care of her, your aunt or your mother."

After saying that, he hung up the phone. He still couldn't quite believe that Ruan Ruan's health had deteriorated to the point where she needed to rest in bed. However, he was worried about the few young people there. Looking at the phone, he really wanted to call Huo Haocheng, but when he checked the time, it was already late. If what Huo Haoshen said was true, then he should be taking care of Ruan Ruan right now.

Let's call and ask tomorrow morning.

That evening, after hearing about Ruan Ruan's condition, the Huo family, like Huo Songbai had previously thought, blamed Huo Haocheng. Grandma Huo immediately declared that she would go and take care of her beloved granddaughter; with her watching over her, Huo Haocheng wouldn't be able to act recklessly anymore.

The old lady is too old for them to come alone, but Li Huan is pregnant and needs someone to take care of her. Moreover, Huo Yue's wedding is just around the corner. So, the final decision was that after Huo Yue's wedding, Huo's third aunt, Ruan Ruan's mother Wang Qun, and Huo's grandmother would go to take care of Ruan Ruan.

However, they still asked Huo Songbai to call Huo Haocheng first thing on the first day to confirm.

Huo Haocheng was unaware of the matters Huo Haoshen and the Huo family had discussed. Of course, if he had known, he would have supported his family in taking care of Ruanruan. Putting aside everything else, he would feel more at ease having Ruanruan with him when he wasn't home.

After dinner, the couple were taking a walk in the family compound as usual. Today, they had just reached the corner of the compound when they saw Commander Gu and Teacher Shen coming towards them.

"Uncle, Aunt, are you out for a walk too?"

"The walk was secondary; we mainly came to see you. How are you? Are you feeling alright?"

After dinner, Ms. Shen thought that she hadn't seen Ruan Ruan for a while, so she brought Commander Gu along to visit. Gu Jingming wanted to come along when he heard that they were coming to see his sister, but he hadn't finished his homework yet, and with the final exams less than a month away, Ms. Shen told him to do his homework and review at home.

"Auntie, don't worry, I'm eating and sleeping well now. It's just that I'm sleeping too much. I don't know why, but I always feel like I can't wake up properly lately. But don't worry, I've had a check-up and there's nothing wrong with me. I guess it's just a reaction to pregnancy."

She didn't think being sleepy was a bad thing at all. Putting aside the fact that she always loved to sleep in, it was normal to be a little sleepy now that she was pregnant. As long as she didn't have any adverse reactions like loss of appetite or morning sickness, she could accept it.

"It's good that you're alright. Being sleepy is nothing to worry about, as long as you're healthy." Knowing that she was alright, Teacher Shen was relieved.

There are no adults in their family, and they are usually busy, so they can only come to visit when they have free time. But it will be better in another month when school is out for holidays, and then she will have time to come and take care of her.

"By the way, I heard that the staff housing your factory is building is almost finished, is that right?" When he came back today, he heard a few people talking about how the staff housing the pharmaceutical factory was building was almost finished. He usually knew some things from Director Chu, but he never asked about the specifics. Now that he saw Ruan Ruan, he just asked her casually.

"Yes, Xuyang and Chen came over today and told me to go and participate in the roof-raising ceremony tomorrow. I happened to see my uncle here, so let's go together tomorrow if we have time. I also need to discuss some things with my uncle at school."

She had previously made a bet with Commander Gu that if she helped them deal with the government's corruption and bribery, he would help her transfer the scholars who had been demoted to teach at her school. Now everything was done, and she was just waiting for their transfer order to bring the scholars over.

"Okay, what time tomorrow morning? Let's go together."
