The military general hospital is closer to the military family compound, and it's only a half-hour drive from where Lin Yu currently lives and her school.
Gu Yunze replied, "It's not far. We can come every month."
Dr. Chu nodded: "Okay, see you next month then."
Gu Yunze wrote down a whole page of precautions and then led Lin Yu out of the hospital.
Sitting in the car, Lin Yu suggested, "Let's go to the family compound and tell Mom and Dad."
Lin Yu knew that Gu's parents really wanted a grandson, and she had only delayed it until now because the two of them were open-minded, which prevented any family conflicts.
She reciprocated by going to tell them the good news.
Gu Yunze asked with concern, "Are you tired? If you are, I can just call them and tell them."
Lin Yu shook her head and said, "I want to tell my parents myself."
Seeing that she was in good spirits, Gu Yunze agreed.
It should only take a dozen minutes to drive from the military hospital to the family compound, but Gu Yunze still drove slowly, taking more than twenty minutes to arrive.
Today was a weekday, and Li Huizhu didn't expect the two of them to come.
Hearing the car, she thought it was a guest from next door.
Later, I heard the courtyard gate open, and then I came out.
"What brings you two here? Aren't you at work today?"
She frowned and asked, puzzled. Even if Lin Yu had a day off today, Yun Ze couldn't possibly have one.
Gu Yunze carefully supported Lin Yu, as if she were a fragile object.
Lin Yu was speechless, but she still followed his lead and walked over.
Li Huizhu's heart skipped a beat: "What happened to Xiaoyu? Is she injured?"
She quickly went over to help Lin Yu.
Lin Yu refused, saying, "Mom, I'm fine. He's just making a fuss. Mom, let's go inside and talk."
She saw that her neighbors were all watching them from the doorway.
Li Huizhu followed the two inside and sat on the sofa in the living room. Lin Yu took out a diagnosis report from his bag.
"Mom, look what this is!"
Li Huizhu was worried. Why was this child smiling so happily even though he had a hospital bill?
She took it and froze at first glance: "This, this isn't..."
Before Lin Yu could speak, she stood up and called out, "Old man, come here quickly."
Gu Henglin was working in his study when he heard the noise. Thinking she had something urgent to say, he quickly opened the door and came out.
"Yunze, what brings Xiaoyu here? Is something the matter?"
He was also somewhat puzzled by his son and daughter-in-law's sudden appearance.
Li Huizhu stood there happily, smiling: "Old man, come quick! Xiaoyu is pregnant! We're going to have a grandson and a granddaughter!"
Gu Henglin strode over: "Xiaoyu is pregnant? She's carrying a child?"
"Hahahaha, that's great, that's great."
Although this wasn't his first time being a grandfather, his most beloved child was Gu Yunze, and now that he was going to have a child, Gu Henglin was even happier than when he was a grandfather for the first time.
He was young then, busy with work, and didn't have much time or energy for family matters.
But now that he's retired, he just wants to enjoy the life of being with his grandchildren.
Gu Yunze and Lin Yu haven't had children yet, and he's getting anxious, but he's too embarrassed to urge them.
Now their child has arrived.
Gu Henglin patted Gu Yunze on the shoulder excitedly: "Good lad, you're going to be a father!"
Gu Yunze smiled, pursing his lips.
Seeing his parents' happy faces, he finally understood why Lin Yu insisted on saying it to their faces.
It makes me happy to surprise them.
Li Huizhu was quite observant and quickly inquired about the specifics: "What did the doctor say? How old is the baby? Do you have any discomfort?"
Lin Yu answered each question and then talked about her plans: "I can continue to go to school in the early stages of pregnancy. After this semester ends, I will take a six-month break from school next semester."
Li Huizhu had originally planned to discuss taking a leave of absence with her, but seeing that she had already made her own plans, she didn't say anything more.
This child is clear-headed.
Speaking of prenatal checkups, Gu Yunze suggested, "Xiaoyu, this place is closer to the hospital, why don't you move back?"
Li Huizhu also wanted to take care of her pregnant daughter-in-law herself, so she looked at Lin Yu expectantly.
Lin Yu smiled and nodded, saying, "Mom, I just wanted to tell you that I'm thinking of moving back during summer vacation, and I'll be troubling you until after I give birth."
Li Huizhu happily said, "It's no trouble at all. If you come back to stay and Yunze is busy when you need to go to the hospital for a check-up, your dad can take you. He has a car."
Gu Henglin also stated his position: "Xiaoyu, don't worry, Dad has plenty of time now. Just let me know when you want to go to the hospital."
Lin Yu felt a warmth flow through her heart as she listened to these caring words.
Her in-laws were so kind to her that she had no reason to refuse, so she said, "Okay, then I'll have to trouble my parents then."
Li Huizhu didn't find it troublesome at all; she was about to become a grandmother.
She was my real grandmother.
To her, Gu Henglin's eldest son's child was someone else's child.
Li Huizhu said repeatedly, "Don't leave! Stay and eat here. I'll go buy groceries now and make soup for Xiaoyu."
Lin Yu stood up and said, "Mom, I'll go with you."
Gu Yunze pulled her to sit down: "You stay at home, I'll go with Mom."
Gu Henglin coughed twice and said, "Sit down, I'll go."
Since he semi-retired and stayed at home, he often accompanied Li Huizhu to go grocery shopping. The elderly couple had a very good relationship.
Neither the son nor the daughter-in-law needs to come along.
Across from the family compound was a newly opened farmers' market, and Li Huizhu and Gu Henglin ran into their neighbor as soon as they reached the entrance.
"Oh, Chief Gu is shopping for groceries with Huizhu again."
"You two are still so loving."
Li Huizhu has been teased so much that she no longer cares.
Besides, she was preoccupied with her grandchildren, so she had no time to pay attention to them.
So she smiled and said, "Yes, my son and daughter-in-law are coming back, so I'll buy some groceries to cook at home."
Seeing her indifferent reaction, the people who had been teasing her lost interest and left after saying a few casual words.
Gu Henglin remained silent throughout the entire process.
After they left, he snorted and said, "Those gossipy women."
Li Huizhu laughed and said, "Don't pay attention to them, they're just saying some sour things."
Li Huizhu felt that she was too happy, which was why she attracted so much envy.
Unlike others, she didn't have so many sons who ended up fighting each other for family resources, causing unrest in the household.
Her son is filial, and her daughter-in-law is sensible; she even buys her clothes and cosmetics to dress her up.
Now, everyone who goes out says she's young and beautiful.
Her husband, Gu Henglin, not only held a higher position in the military than their husbands, but he would also accompany her to go grocery shopping and take walks when they got home.
The reason these people are so sour is simply because their husbands and sons come home and are treated like royalty.
Li Huizhu thought to herself, "Once my daughter-in-law gives birth, you will all be even more envious of me."
Just thinking about her makes me happy.
Seeing her walking and smiling, Gu Henglin knew that she was in a particularly good mood.
The elderly couple happily went grocery shopping, buying whatever was cheap and appealing.
That's quite a grand gesture.
"Does Mrs. Gu have guests at home today?" The seafood vendor asked, noticing that she had bought a lot of expensive prawns.
