Chapter 134 Settle Down
When Lu Huailin returned to the living room, he saw his wife chatting and laughing with the old lady.
When Grandma Gu saw Lu Huailin come in, the smile on her face became a little more restrained.
"You're back?"
Seeing the man who hadn't had time to shave, his beard unkempt, my feelings were immediately mixed.
She had just gotten married when Lu Huailin went on a mission. She hadn't been home for long when she found out she was pregnant, and then he went on another mission.
Perhaps it was because of her pregnancy, Gu Yihan started to act dramatic, always feeling incredibly wronged.
If it weren't for Grandma Gu keeping her company during this time, she would have been even more heartbroken for her.
Thinking of this, I glanced at Grandma Gu and noticed that she looked a little reserved.
Gu Yihan quickly stood up with a smile, took Grandma Gu's hand, and introduced her, "Grandma, this is your grandson-in-law."
Upon hearing his wife's words, Lu Huailin paused for a moment, then stepped forward and called out with a smile, "Grandma, I'm Lu Huailin."
Grandma Gu quickly replied, "Great! Xiao Han has good taste; she's found such a fine young man, so spirited."
Lu Huailin knew that this was Gu Yihan's grandmother, so he restrained his imposing manner and deliberately lowered his posture.
The grandfather and granddaughter chatted and laughed together, completely ignoring Gu Yihan.
Lu Huailin held Grandma Gu's hand and said gratefully, "Grandma, I'm so happy you're here."
“Xiao Han is pregnant now. I’m worried about leaving her at home alone while I’m on a mission.”
Grandma Gu's smiling face froze.
She turned to look at Gu Yihan beside her: "Xiaohan, you're pregnant? Why didn't you tell me?"
Gu Yihan was taken aback by Grandma Gu's sudden question and asked in confusion, "Didn't I tell you?"
Lu Huailin looked at Gu Yihan's confused little eyes and chuckled in a deep voice.
Gu Yihan glared at Lu Huailin and then clung to Grandma Gu's arm.
She swayed back and forth, pouting, "Grandma, I was so happy to have you at home that I forgot about you. Please don't be mad at your granddaughter!"
When Grandma Gu saw her little granddaughter still acting like a child, she forgot everything else and laughed happily.
Lu Huailin looked at Gu Yihan's coquettish behavior with deep eyes, feeling uncomfortable. His wife had never acted coquettishly towards him before.
Hmph, preferential treatment.
at night
Gu Yihan sat in front of the dressing table, applying face cream.
After shaving, Lu Huailin returned to the bedroom and watched his wife's back.
Walk up behind her.
He held his wife tightly in his arms, lowered his head and kissed her neck repeatedly to ease his longing.
Gu Yihan turned around and hugged Lu Huailin, kissing his lips and saying, "Husband, I missed you too."
Lu Huailin was so excited that he picked up his wife, placed her on the bed, and gently kissed her.
With a hoarse voice, he said aggrievedly, "Honey, you're pregnant. The doctor said we can't have sex during the first three months."
Gu Yihan chuckled softly, breathed into his ear, and whispered something.
Lu Huailin's eyes lit up, and he kissed his wife gently.
Immediately, the woman's seductive panting, the creaking of the wooden bed, and the man's heavy breathing filled the bedroom.
Early the next morning
In her dazed state, Gu Yihan reached out and touched the man's broad chest, softly calling out, "Husband..."
Lu Huailin turned his head and saw Gu Yihan's charming appearance, trying hard to control his morning impulse.
He gently kissed the corner of her mouth, then nimbly rolled out of bed.
Lu Huailin walked through the living room door and looked at the spotless yard and the chicken coop that was already full.
He strolled into the kitchen and took the chores from Grandma Gu's hands.
He instructed, "Grandma, you don't need to get up so early. Our army has a canteen where you can have breakfast."
Grandma Gu looked at Lu Huailin with a kind expression and said with a smile, "That won't cost money, will it?"
"Besides, Grandma can't stay idle. She can cook for you, so she's still somewhat useful."
"If they won't even let me cook, I'll get sick."
Seeing that Grandma Gu insisted on doing some housework, Lu Huailin thought about it and realized that what she said made sense.
With nowhere to go when I'm idle, and being old, if I'm not allowed to do anything, I'll probably start to overthink things.
Time always flies.
Since Lu Huailin expressed great gratitude to Grandma Gu, she felt at ease settling down in the family compound.
It was January 1971 in the Gregorian calendar.
There are still two weeks until the Chinese New Year.
Gu Yihan is three months pregnant.
She eats a fruit from the space every month, and her intuition tells her that the fruit is more effective when she eats it after she gets pregnant.
Since eating the fruit, Gu Yihan has had no pregnancy symptoms at all, and her belly is not showing much movement.
Apart from those who already knew she was pregnant, no one in the textile factory's accounting office could tell she was pregnant.
Grandma Gu looked at Gu Yihan's skin and exclaimed in surprise, "Tsk tsk, your skin is getting better and better during your pregnancy."
Gu Yihan touched her face and smiled at Grandma Gu, saying, "Grandma, you think I've become prettier, right?"
Lu Huailin pushed open the gate to the courtyard and heard Gu Yihan praising her own beauty.
He walked to the washbasin stand, washing his hands as he praised, "My wife has never been ugly!"
Gu Yihan looked at Lu Huailin with a smug expression and said, "That's more like it."
Lu Huailin walked to Gu Yihan's side, put his arm around her shoulder and said, "Come on, let's go inside. I have something to discuss with you."
Grandma Gu watched the two of them walk away, shook her head and muttered, "These young people nowadays, they really want to be together all the time."
Lu Huailin settled Gu Yihan on the wooden sofa, made her a cup of milk powder, and handed it to her.
He patiently suggested, "Honey, since you're still in the early stages of pregnancy, how about we go back to Beijing for the Spring Festival this year?"
"After the baby is born next year, we'll go back to Beijing in two years."
Gu Yihan picked up the milk and blew on it to cool it down.
She looked at Lu Huailin with a questioning gaze: "Of course you can! Why do you need to be so cautious?"
Lu Huailin happily hugged his wife.
He kissed his shy wife's forehead hard: "I was just worried that you wouldn't feel comfortable traveling by car during your pregnancy, so I wanted to discuss it with you in advance."
"Gurgle, gurgle."
Gu Yihan's stomach rumbled, and she looked at Lu Huailin with a wronged expression.
She pouted and said, "Ever since I got pregnant, I get hungry really fast."
Lu Huailin chuckled, and seeing that his wife was about to get angry, he quickly said, "Are you hungry? I'll go cook you a bowl of egg noodles."
Grandma Gu lay on the rocking chair that Gu Yihan had found for her.
Seeing Lu Huailin about to enter the kitchen, he quickly called out, "Little Lu, what are you doing?"
Lu Huailin replied, "Grandma, Xiaohan is hungry, I'll go cook some noodles."
Grandma Gu quickly stood up: "Are you hungry? I'll make you something. You've been training all day, go and rest."
After saying that, before Lu Huailin could react, she pushed him out of the kitchen and went inside to busy herself.
