Lu Zhixia said, "It's your life, you can live it however you want."
Zhou An'an looked at her big belly and asked, "When is the baby's due date?"
Lu Zhixia: "Around the end of July."
Zhou An'an: "Wouldn't it be very hot during postpartum confinement? It will be uncomfortable."
Lu Zhixia said, "There's nothing we can do about it. This baby came so suddenly. If it were up to me, I would have been in confinement in September or October."
Zhou An'an actually understood a little bit about men and women. "You're saying that two people can get pregnant just by meeting?"
Lu Zhixia understood what she meant, so she said,
"There are measures in place, I'll teach you when the time comes."
Zhou An'an said, "Neither of us wanted to have children early, as it would interfere with our work and we didn't want to trouble our parents."
Lu Zhixia said, "Then let's have children later and enjoy our time together as a couple while we're young."
Zhou An'an smiled happily, "That's why I want to use contraception."
Su Lan sat down again. "Luckily, I brought them a bowl of noodle soup. It wasn't enough for them at all. It seems they really don't have money for food."
Lu Zhixia looked up at them; they were still holding the dumpling water.
"That should be enough, no need to send any more."
“I think so too.” Su Lan heard someone call from behind, “Waitress.” So she stood up again to serve the customer.
Zhou An'an, "Your shop owes a lot to Sister Lan."
Lu Zhixia said, "That's what I was thinking too. We'll give them more when we distribute the dividends at the end of the year."
After finishing his dumplings, Zhou An'an saw that it was time for work. "I have to ride my bike back. I might not be able to come back tomorrow."
Lu Zhixia, "Be careful when you ride your bike."
Zhou An'an: "Don't worry, I'm skilled."
Lu Zhixia watched Zhou An'an leave in a hurry, and then she was alone again, which was quite boring. There were more customers in the store, so she moved to sit at the counter.
She only gets to help count the money.

Time flew by and it was June 20th. Zhou An'an and Xiao Wang went to the Civil Affairs Bureau to get their marriage certificate.
The two embraced each other with immense joy the moment the staff handed them their credentials.
Following Lu Zhixia's instructions, Zhou An'an distributed wedding candies to the staff, and then happily left the Civil Affairs Bureau with Xiao Wang.
Sitting on the back of the bicycle, Zhou An'an looked at the marriage certificate in her hand and happily spread her arms to let the wind blow.
Xiao Wang deliberately rode his bike slowly, saying, "You'll be my wife from now on!"
Zhou An'an put the documents into his bag. "What kind of talk is that? If we're not married, she's not your wife?"
Xiao Wang said, "It was my fault, I shouldn't have said that."
Zhou An'an was in a great mood. From the moment they received their marriage certificate, they went from being boyfriend and girlfriend to being bound together. She believed she would be happy.
Back in their little home, the two looked at each other with a touch of shyness.
Zhou An'an: "Now that we've got our marriage certificate, shouldn't we plan our wedding?"
Xiao Wang, "My mom means next month, at your place?"
Zhou An'an: "My dad said we can set a date, but it has to be a little earlier so he can tell our relatives and friends."
Xiao Wang: "Then you set the date."
Zhou An'an lay dejectedly on the kang (a heated brick bed), "Why do I have to decide again? Then I'll pick a few days and let Sister Xia choose for me."
Xiao Wang was itching to make a move. They were now a legally married couple, so it was only natural that they could be more affectionate.
So he leaned in, just about to kiss her, when he was forcibly kissed.
Zhou An'an had wanted to do this for a long time, but hadn't had the chance before. Although their actions were very shy, they were both trying their best to please each other.
Xiao Wang was so provoked that he never expected Zhou An'an to be so proactive, so he let her have her way.
The bottom line that they originally wanted to maintain was ultimately not maintained, and both of them blushed after they finished.
"I'm going to get some water." Xiao Wang got dressed and got out of bed; he needed to calm down.
Otherwise, it would be like a hungry tiger pouncing on a sheep again.
Zhou An'an then realized that this was how things between men and women were. It was fortunate that she asked Lu Zhixia, otherwise they would have been really clueless.
Looking back on this period, the happiest thing for her was meeting Lu Zhixia and becoming friends with her.
Xiao Wang came in from outside and said, "I specially prepared warm water, you can wash up."
As Zhou An'an stepped off the kang (a heated brick bed), the instant her feet touched the ground, she felt a sharp, tingling sensation that sent chills down her spine. She quickly slapped the man's buttocks.
"It's all your fault. Don't use so much force next time."
Xiao Wang said with a smile, "Okay, wife, I understand. I will learn and improve."
Looking into his bright eyes, Zhou An'an could no longer feel angry. Happiness was so simple, and her life was complete.
