In the past two days, other people have also gradually learned about her pregnancy. The phone at the Mu family has rang many times. They just hung up the call from the northwest this morning.

At noon, Fu Yu from Jinshi also called to express his concern.

Not long after hanging up, the phone rang again...

"An An, come and answer the phone... your third uncle is calling,"

Fu Jingshu upstairs called Fu Xiao.

She went upstairs and took the microphone. Fu Weilun on the other side spoke in a gentle tone: "Are you feeling unwell?"

Fu Xiao chuckled and said, "Uncle, I'm fine."

"Well, at the research institute, adjust your schedule and take a break when you need one."

"Yeah, I see."

Fu Jingshu looked at her for a while, leaving her to chat with Fu Weilun. She walked out of the study and came to the living room, looking at Grandpa Mu, "Dad, let's have beef noodles for lunch today."

Mr. Mu smiled and waved his hands, "Don't ask me, ask our dear, we will make whatever she wants to eat."

"An An isn't picky about food, so let's make beef noodles..."

She looked at Mu Lianshen who was about to take out his cigarette case and scolded him: "Smoking again..."

Mu Lianshen paused for a moment and threw the cigarette box on the table. "I don't plan to smoke it, I just put it away."

"Come on, I'll light a fire for you..."

After Fu Xiao finished the call and went downstairs, Mr. Mu patted the seat beside him and said, "Come, sit here and rest for a while."

"You didn't stay up late at night,"

She took his arm and smiled, "No, I slept well."

He smiled and patted her hand. "Your situation is different now. You can't stay up late at night anymore. Also, try to go to the laboratory less often."

Fu Xiao lay on his knees, "You only need to be careful in the first three months. After it stabilizes, you can move around moderately..."

Mr. Mu touched her hair and said, "Well, be careful in the first three months..."

"How about beef noodles for lunch?"

Fu Xiao nodded, "Sure, my brother and Shen Xingzhou haven't come back yet..."

“Your brother is going to see some friends, I guess they will eat outside, Shen Xingzhou is out busy, I’m afraid he won’t be back at noon,”

At this time, she heard Fu Jingshu arguing with Mu Lianshen in the kitchen, and couldn't help but chuckle: "Grandpa, you said my dad sticks to my mom all day, is everything okay in the northwest?"

Old Master Mu snorted unhappily: "There's nothing going on in the northwest for now, but you see, he won't be able to stay for long..."

"hey-hey..."

During the meal, Mr. Mu glanced at Mu Lianshen and asked, "Isn't it time for you to go back to the northwest?"

Mu Lianshen thought for a moment and said, "Well, I'll leave two days later..."

He glanced at Fu Jingshu inconspicuously. She was putting beef into Fu Xiao's bowl.

"Why are you looking at me? Go back by yourself. I have to take care of An An in Beijing."

He nodded with a smile, "I know..."

Mu Lianshen looked at Fu Xiao and said, "Listen to your mother at home."

Fu Xiao nodded, "Don't worry,"

After dinner, Mr. Mu went upstairs for a nap, and Fu Xiao lay on a recliner in the yard, basking in the sun with his eyes slightly closed.

Mu Lianshen kept pestering Fu Jingshu, and finally she gave him a helpless look, "I won't follow you to the northwest even if you stick to me."

"An An just got pregnant, and Shao Yu is about to go to college, I definitely can't leave."

He reached out to help her put her things on the cabinet. "Well, I know, I didn't intend to let you go with me, but I couldn't bear to leave you."

Fu Jingshu smiled and said: "Don't always push your own problems onto Brother Ze, it's not good..."

"I didn't. I came to Beijing after finishing my own work in the northwest. There is no need for me to stay there permanently. I estimate that I will be busy for several months when I go back this time. It will be around October before I can relax."

"It's taking too long. Can you come and see me in the middle?"

She waved her hand and said, "Let's talk about it later."

Mu Lianshen raised his eyebrows: "Why are you talking about it again? An An was already stable at that time, and Shao Yu had been in school for a long time. What's wrong with you coming to see me?"

Fu Jingshu glared at him and said, "You are already an old married couple, and you are still trying to do this..."

"Ah," he sighed softly.

When can I retire?

No matter how reluctant Mu Lianshen was, he still had to go back. Although his family was his priority now, he still had responsibilities and couldn't just give up.

At worst, I can just be busy for a while and come back when I’m free.

In the evening, he pulled Fu Shaoyu and Shen Xingzhou into the study and gave them some instructions.

"As for matters concerning Beijing, you two can just discuss it...If there is anything you are unsure about or cannot solve, call me..."

The two nodded, "Got it."

Fu Shaoyu asked him: "Are you leaving tomorrow?"

"The day after tomorrow morning,"

Mu Lianshen waved his hand casually, "You guys go back to sleep, remember to discuss anything you want to do."

"By the way, when Yu Mo from the Zhai family gets engaged, don't forget to give gifts. Shao Yu will give one alone..."

Fu Shaoyu nodded, "I understand..."

Shen Xingzhou, who walked out of the study, pushed open Fu Xiao’s door.

"I'm back...what did Dad talk to you about?"

He stood by the bed, took off his coat, and lay in bed, holding her in his arms. "We didn't talk about anything, just gave us some instructions before we go back to the northwest..."

"What did you eat at home today?"

"Beef noodles, what did you eat?"

"We had a simple meal in the restaurant," he hugged her and put his head on her neck, "When you are not around, nothing tastes good... I always think of you..."
