Chapter 220: No Children for the Time Being
Chu Mingzhou sat down beside the bed and gently held Lin Anan's hand. He found that her hand was cold, so he held it in his hand for a while, "I've got the medicine, you take a break before getting up."
Lin Anan hummed lightly, "Have you given instructions to Xiaolan and Xiaoyu?"
"Yes, there are some dishes left at home."
Gu Yan pushed the door open and came in. His eyes paused for a moment on the two people's clasped hands. "This imported medicine needs to be taken orally for two months. Because the medicine contains thalidomide, remember not to get pregnant within these two months."
When Lin Anan heard this, her cheeks turned hot involuntarily and she subconsciously looked at Chu Mingzhou.
Chu Mingzhou held Lin Anan's hand tightly and nodded to Gu Yan, "Okay, we will pay attention."
Gu Yan frowned slightly, fearing that he would have a prejudice against Lin Anan, and added: "This case will not be inherited. After this set of drugs is over, if you want to have a child... you can make plans. But not within the next two months, please be careful."
There was worry in his eyes, and his gaze lingered on Lin Anan's face for a moment.
"I understand, Doctor Gu."
She knew that her physical condition required full care, and they had not considered having children in the short term.
Chu Mingzhou was still worried that she was disappointed, so he patted the back of her hand gently and comforted her in a warm voice: "Don't think too much, the most important thing now is to take care of your body. When you recover, we will consider other things and just let nature take its course."
Lin Anan: “…”
Gu Yan just felt depressed, no matter how Chu Mingzhou answered, he felt uncomfortable!
If he said he wanted a child, it would mean that he didn't care about Lin Anan's health and didn't love her at all.
If he said he didn't want a child, Gu Yan would think he wasn't sincere to Lin An'an. He didn't even want to have a child with her. Did he dislike her? He still didn't love her.
After explaining a few more details about the medication and the time for follow-up examinations, Gu Yan turned around and left.
The ward fell silent for a moment.
By the time the two walked out of the hospital, it was almost evening.
It’s quite convenient to go to Li Lu’s house. It only takes a short bus ride to get there.
Lin Anan prepared a moving gift for her in advance, which was a set of bedding. She made it according to the pattern of her own four-piece set and used pure cotton cloth. It was considered the best stuff.
The afterglow of the setting sun shines on my body, bringing a bit of warmth.
After turning into Birch Lane, I heard bursts of laughter coming from inside the house before I even reached the door.
Lin Anan went forward and knocked on the door. The door creaked open and Li Lu stood at the door with a smile on her face. She greeted them warmly, "Sister Anan, Captain Chu, you are finally here."
Lin Anan handed over the gift with a smile: "Lulu, congratulations on your new home."
"Sister An An, we are just having a simple meal with our family and friends, why are you...giving us gifts? You don't need to."
"Take it quickly, it's just a token of my appreciation."
"Thank you, Sister An An."
Aunt Luo put all the pots in the yard, and the aroma of the food was overbearing.
"An An, Captain Chu, please go sit in the living room. Dinner will be served soon."
"Auntie, let me help you."
"No need, just go and sit down."
In just a few days, this small courtyard has changed a lot. It has been cleaned up and decorated very warmly.
"Lulu, your new home is really well-maintained. It's comfortable to look at. I'm sure your life will be more prosperous in the future."
Li Lu's face was filled with smiles. "My mother arranged all this. Captain Chu, Sister An An, please take a seat. You're welcome."
Lin Anan and Chu Mingzhou followed Li Lu into the house, where many people were already sitting.
Li Lu's situation was special. All the people who came were her close relatives, and Lin Anan had basically met them all. However, she did not expect that Editor Liu would actually come.
Lin Anan and Chu Mingzhou walked into the living room and greeted everyone.
Chu Mingzhou was surrounded and talked by the two brothers of the Li family, so Lin Anan sat down beside them.
As soon as I sat down, Editor Liu came over and lowered his voice, "Comrade Lin, the response to your last article was very good. I was just thinking of finding a time to talk to you in detail. The manuscript fee is nearly 40 yuan. Please come to the publishing house to collect it when you are free."
So many?
Lin Anan was a little surprised, "Okay, no problem."
"Also, 'Haruhi's Letter' will be officially released at the end of the month. You can wait for my good news then."
"Okay, thank you very much."
Lin Anan talked again about her desire to take on the press release.
Editor Liu smiled happily, "Of course, if you are really interested, I can also provide you with social news topics..."
The two hit it off immediately.
Not long after, Aunt Luo came in with plates of steaming dishes, "Come on, come on, let's eat, everyone come to the table quickly."
Everyone sat around the table, and soon the table was filled with rich, colorful, and delicious dishes.
Li Lu was busy serving food to everyone, "Everyone has to eat more today, as it will warm up my new house."
The atmosphere at the dinner table was just right.
Editor Liu's speech was quite good, which raised the atmosphere at the dinner table. It couldn't be helped, as someone who worked in print media, he was the most well-informed, and the topics he talked about were also the most interesting to everyone.
"The cemetery we discovered this time is not ordinary. I have inside information. This is the tomb of a real king. Do you know which king it is?"
"Editor Liu, is this true? Whose is it?"
"It is absolutely true. It belongs to Qin Jinggong, the 14th king of the Qin State! This tomb is the largest ancient tomb excavated in my country so far. It is estimated that there are tens of thousands of exquisite cultural relics in it..."
The various stories he told made everyone at the table amazed.
"The villagers of Qiannan Village were also greedy. When they first discovered the artifacts, they kept silent and dug them up themselves, destroying many cultural relics. Several villagers were sentenced."
Everyone sighed again.
Lin Anan and Chu Mingzhou looked at each other and smiled with their eyes curved.
She is happy!
Such an important ancient tomb, leaving aside its historical and cultural value, the contribution attributed to Chu Mingzhou alone is enormous.
Editor Liu lowered his voice mysteriously again, "There is an interesting story here. The secretary of the former Nancun Village was called Liu Fugui. This ancient tomb also revealed a huge secret."
"What secret?"
"Liu Fugui has three sons. The eldest works in the city's sugar factory, the second is a carpenter, and the third is even more amazing, as he is also a worker-peasant-soldier college student. All three sons are very promising. But it's a pity... none of the three sons are his biological children."
Everyone:!!!
At this moment, even Lin Anan was attracted by him.
Seeing everyone's eyes widened, Editor Liu picked up the wine glass and took a sip, and kept the secret, "This was told to him by Liu Fugui's wife herself before she died..."
"Ah? Is this true?"
"Well, his wife said that his sons are all from the bald old man next door, and she wants them to recognize their ancestry. This is her last wish."
“Poof~”
Lin Anan almost spit out the sweet soup she had just drunk, but fortunately she raised her hand to cover it.
How unlucky is Liu Fugui, he raised three outstanding sons, but they all belong to Mr. Wang next door?
It's pathetic, but also really funny.
The meal took a long time, and when Lin Anan and the others got up to say goodbye, it was already dark.
