Spring planting and autumn harvest, daily life. There are no imperial relatives. The space is used for hoarding items and storing things.
Xu Han woke up to find herself transmigrated to an al...
Upon hearing this, Grandpa Zhao and Xu Han laughed even louder.
"Xiao Han, besides not wanting to eat, is there anything else that's bothering you?" Grandpa Zhao asked with concern.
"No, I just don't feel very hungry, but otherwise I don't feel uncomfortable," Xu Han replied.
"Okay, that's fine. Your pregnancy isn't showing much yet, so try not to do any heavy work or bend over too much. If there's anything heavy, call Xiao Chuan. Don't try to do it yourself! Be very careful."
"Yes, honey, if anything happens, just call me and I'll take care of it. You just rest and don't move."
"You can't stay still either. You need to move around from time to time. Not moving around is actually bad. Just avoid heavy work," Grandpa Zhao interrupted Lu Chuan.
"Okay, okay, I don't understand any of this either. Let's just listen to Grandpa Zhao," Lu Chuan said, scratching the back of his head sheepishly.
"Look at your pathetic face, it's an eyesore," the Taoist priest retorted again.
Lu Chuan wasn't annoyed by this; he just kept smiling. He was so happy; he and his wife were going to have a child, and the thought made him excited.
Everyone had a wonderful time at dinner. Not only was the house completed, but Xu Han was also pregnant, making it a double celebration.
After dinner, Lu Chuan wouldn't even let Xu Han touch the bowls and chopsticks. When Xu Han tried to get up to go to the bathroom, Lu Chuan carefully protected her.
"Don't be so nervous, I'm really fine. Your reaction makes me feel uncomfortable," Xu Han said helplessly.
"Alright then! Just call me if you need anything, and I'll come right away."
"Okay! Go ahead and do your thing! I'll call you if I need anything."
Hearing Xu Han say that, Lu Chuan reluctantly went to wash the dishes, turning back every few steps, and found Xu Han quite amusing.
That evening, only Xu Han and Lu Chuan were left in the room. Xu Han lay in Lu Chuan's arms, and the two dreamed about the future together.
"Do you think it's a boy or a girl in your belly?" Xu Han asked.
“I love him whether he’s a boy or a girl. This is our first child, and I will definitely cherish him,” Lu Chuan said.
"Really? You don't discriminate against girls, do you?" Xu Han asked uncertainly.
“Whether it’s a boy or a girl, they are our children, and I love them both equally. But I would prefer a daughter, as cute and beautiful as you, wouldn’t that be wonderful!” Lu Chuan said.
"What if it's a son? Wouldn't you like that?" Xu Han asked, feigning anger.
“I love a son too. I’ll teach him to hunt. If it’s a daughter, we’ll raise her to be plump and healthy, and dress her in pretty little dresses every day. Wouldn’t that be wonderful?” Lu Chuan said with a smile.
Seeing Lu Chuan's nonchalant smile, Xu Han immediately concluded that Lu Chuan was definitely a doting father to his daughter.
At the same time, Xu Han is even more looking forward to the birth of the child in her belly. Whether it is a boy or a girl, Xu Han will love her very much.
The next day, with most of the housework done and nothing else to do, Xu Han went with Lu Chuan and the others to collect bluestone.
My home isn't far from the place where they quarry bluestone; it's just over two hills away.
Originally, everyone disagreed with Xu Han going, but they were worried about her staying at home alone. Since the journey wasn't far and Xu Han didn't show any other symptoms, they allowed her to go with them.
Upon arriving at the location, Lu Chuan, the Taoist priest, and Grandpa Zhao began collecting bluestone.
Xu Han wandered around the neighborhood, looking for anything she needed to take home.
This bluestone is used to make bluestone paving stones. First, large pieces of bluestone are quarried, and then they are shaped into rectangles of a suitable size. Xu Han then puts the shaped stones into her space and transports them home.
After transporting them home, tools are used to cut the large pieces of bluestone into individual bluestone slabs.
The surface of the artificially divided bluestone slabs is not particularly smooth, but it is relatively slip-resistant and not easy to slip on.
At noon, Xu Han took out some food from her spatial storage, and the four of them sat on the rocks and ate.
After eating, they continued working until the sun was about to set before heading home.
When they got home, Xu Han and Grandpa Zhao went to the kitchen to cook as usual, but Lu Chuan insisted on squeezing in and said he wanted to help.
"I'm really fine, you should go out now! Follow the Taoist priest and see if you can split the bluestone slab. If the Taoist priest doesn't know how to do this, you can teach him." Xu Han said impatiently.
"I'll help you with that!" Lu Chuan said, looking aggrieved.
"Hey! You should get out of here! With your big body standing here, the kitchen looks small."
I said I'm fine. If I were, would I still be working? Am I the kind of person who would compromise myself? Xu Han really felt very suppressed by Lu Chuan's care.
Ever since Lu Chuan learned yesterday that Xu Han was pregnant, he has been keeping a close eye on her, afraid that something might go wrong.
However, this behavior made Xu Han feel very uncomfortable. She knew that he was doing it for her own good, afraid that she would do heavy work or something, but she was still very annoyed.
Seeing that Xu Han looked unwell, Grandpa Zhao said to Lu Chuan, "Xiao Chuan, you go out first! I'll help Xiao Han here! Don't worry!"
Lu Chuan also noticed that Xu Han's expression was off. He pursed his lips, but ultimately said nothing. Then he turned and left the kitchen to start processing the bluestone they had collected with the Taoist priest.
Seeing that Lu Chuan seemed distracted, the Taoist priest asked, "What's wrong? Did the girl kick you out?"
Lu Chuan remained silent, and the Taoist priest knew he had guessed correctly, so he began to comfort him.
"Everyone knows you care about the girl, but this kind of concern can put a lot of pressure on her. You don't need to be overly nervous. Just be yourself as you were before."
Put yourself in Xiaohan's shoes. If you liked having someone constantly around you, restricting your activities and food choices under the guise of "it's for your own good," how would you feel? Concern is fine, but don't go overboard.
Lu Chuan thought about it carefully and realized that it was indeed his fault. He hadn't considered things carefully enough, and his actions would make Xu Han feel uncomfortable.
So he said to the Taoist priest, "I understand."
Then he began teaching the Taoist priest how to split the bluestone slab. After dinner that evening, Grandpa Zhao said the same thing to Lu Chuan.
It was only at this moment that Lu Chuan truly realized how much pressure his actions had put on Xu Han.
When Xu Han returned to the room after washing up, Lu Chuan said, "I'm sorry, honey. I didn't consider your feelings and put pressure on you. Don't worry, I'll be more careful in the future and I definitely won't do it again. Whether we have children or not, you are the most important person in my heart, and no one can replace you."
"What's wrong? How did you suddenly come to this realization?" Xu Han asked in surprise.
"The Taoist priest and Grandpa Zhao both criticized me today. I didn't consider your feelings. I'm sorry."
