After a busy day, everyone is finally done.

Shen Yunshu didn't want to drink soup today, so Gu Jiuyan cooked some chestnut ribs for her and fried some cabbage and tofu.

The soft and sticky chestnuts made him salivate with every bite, and Shen Yunshu ate a lot of food without realizing it.

Worried about indigestion, she walked around the house after dinner. Suddenly, she felt something kicking her stomach. She was surprised to realize this important discovery.

Chen Yunshu held his breath and gently placed his hand on his bulging belly. It was like little fish gurgling and bubbling in his stomach, swimming around in his stomach, or as if someone was gently tapping his stomach a few times.

There was a similar situation some time ago, but it was not very obvious. She always thought it was the sound of intestines moving, but now she can directly and intensely feel the changes in her stomach.

This should be the fetal movement mentioned in the pregnancy manual. Fetal movements will be very frequent during the fourth month of pregnancy.

This was Shen Yunshu's first communication with the child, and she cried out in excitement.

Gu Jiuyan walked into the house with foot washing water in his hand. When he saw his little wife covering her face and crying, he panicked instantly.

"Wife, what's wrong? Are you feeling unwell? I'll take you to the hospital now." Gu Jiuyan picked up Shen Yunshu and walked out without saying a word.

Seeing that Gu Jiuyan had misunderstood, Shen Yunshu had tears on her face and she didn't have time to wipe them away: "Gu Jiuyan, it's not me, it's the child... It's our child."

Gu Jiuyan's hand on his waist tightened. Although he was very panicked, he still pretended to be calm and comforted the little person in his arms.

"Wife, the child will be fine. Let's go to the hospital now."

The noise they made was so loud that Grandma Gu and Mother Gu in the next room heard the noise outside. They quickly got up from the bed and went out without even having time to put on their clothes. The biting cold wind made them shiver.

But their hearts and eyes were filled with Chen Yunshu in Gu Jiuyan's arms.

"What happened to Shushu?"

Seeing the misunderstanding getting bigger and bigger, Shen Yunshu didn't care about her frequently moving belly: "I'm fine, it's Gu Jiuyan who misunderstood."

"Misunderstanding?" Mother Gu looked at her doubtfully, and Gu Jiuyan also looked at her with the same expression, but the stone in his heart never fell.

"Kid, they're kicking me in the stomach."

Mother Gu and Grandma Gu looked at each other, fortunately it was a false alarm.

This was the first time Gu Jiuyan became a father, and he didn't understand what his wife meant at all. But seeing his mother and grandmother gradually relax, he probably guessed that it was not a bad thing, and his heart was temporarily relieved a little, but he was still in a state of high tension.

"This is called fetal movement. Every pregnant woman will experience it. The further along you are in life, the more frequent it becomes. It will all be fine once the baby is born." Mother Gu paused for a few seconds and continued, "Jiuyan, don't sleep too deeply at night. If Shushu feels unwell, come and call us."

"Thank you, Mom."

Mother Gu glanced at him in surprise. Her cold son had become more and more humane since he married Shushu. Before that, she rarely heard the word "thank you" from him.

Back in the house, Gu Jiuyan carried Shen Yunshu in his arms back to the bed. Just as he was about to leave, Shen Yunshu held his hand and touched her belly.

"Gu Jiuyan, the child is moving."

Gu Jiuyan held his breath and did not dare to move his big hand which was pressed against Shen Yunshu's belly. Suddenly, he felt something kicking his hand.

"Wife, he's kicking me." Gu Jiuyan was so excited that he was at a loss. He was usually calm and composed, but a silly grin appeared on his face. Tears came out from his smile.

Shen Yunshu panicked and hurriedly wiped his tears: "Silly boy, why are you crying for no reason?"

"I'm happy, thank you, daughter-in-law." Thank you and your child for appearing, so that I will no longer be alone in the future.

"Gu Jiuyan, you fool, our little family will get better and better in the days to come." Shen Yunshu's face was full of the joy of becoming a mother.

Gu Jiuyan seemed to have found a new toy, and he kept putting his hand on Shen Yunshu's belly happily. Every time the child moved, the smile on his face deepened.

From time to time, he would put his face on Shen Yunshu's belly.

New Year’s Eve.

New Year, new atmosphere. Shen Yunshu got up early and changed into the new clothes prepared by Gu Jiuyan at the bedside.

Her belly is a little big now, and her previous clothes are much smaller than hers, including the one she is wearing, which was just made by her family not long ago.

The clothes were very loose and could be worn even when the baby was older. Shen Yunshu was a little afraid of the cold, so she added a sweater inside.

Gu Jiuyan stepped forward to help her button her clothes and put on her shoes. It was also Gu Jiuyan who braided her double pigtails today.

After being rejected by Shen Yunshu last time, Gu Jiuyan has been studying and practicing hard for many days, and now he can finally tie his hair in a way that satisfies Shen Yunshu.

Shen Yunshu looked at herself in the mirror, feeling a bit dazed. Her pregnant face was filled with happiness, and she was completely different from when she first came here.

Such stable happiness is really good, it is something she could never get in her previous life.

Breakfast consisted of millet porridge with pickles. There was an extra egg in Shen Yunshu's bowl compared to others, which was peeled and put in by Shen's mother.

Shen Yunshu only eats the egg white now, and throws the yolk to Gu Jiuyan.

Everyone at the dinner table was no longer surprised by Shen Yunshu's picky eating. In their eyes, Shen Yunshu had a hard time being pregnant, so it was normal for her to be picky about food.

Even if you are not pregnant, it is normal to be picky about food. After all, everyone has a few things they don’t like to eat.

The Gu and Chen families loved Chen Yunshu so much that they obviously forgot that in those days when people were hungry and cold, having something to eat was already very good.

After dinner, we started making dumplings.

There were so many people and the place was so small that the narrow kitchen couldn't accommodate so many people at once. Shen Yunshu and Gu Jiuyan were forced to sit by the fire in the yard.

The flames burned red, and Shen Yunshu sat in front of the fire, his whole body filled with warmth.

Thinking of the steaming hot roasted sweet potatoes, Shen Yunshu's stomach, which had just finished a full meal, became hungry again: "Gu Jiuyan, I want to eat roasted sweet potatoes."

After he finished speaking, Gu Jiuyan got up and went to the kitchen to get a few sweet potatoes and threw them into the fire. After a while, the whole yard was filled with the aroma of roasted sweet potatoes.

After a few minutes, Gu Jiuyan used tongs to pull the cooked sweet potatoes out of the fire.

Shen Yunshu, who couldn't wait to eat the roasted sweet potato, reached out to grab it, but before she touched the sweet potato, a pair of hands appeared in front of her and blocked her.

"It's dirty, let me do it." Gu Jiuyan brought the peeled sweet potato to Shen Yunshu's mouth.

Faced with Gu Jiuyan's personal feeding, Shen Yunshu naturally accepted it, but when eating the sweet potato in his mouth, Shen Yunshu always felt that something was missing.

"The winter trifecta: chestnuts, sweet potatoes, and hawthorn balls. It would be even better if there were sugar-roasted chestnuts."
