When Lu Zhixia saw Zhou An'an again, she saw that Zhou An'an's face was beaming with happiness, and she knew that things must have gone well.
They sat down in the corner of the restaurant.
Zhou An'an said, "Let me tell you, his parents are really good people, and they are very open-minded. They don't care about my job, as long as we are happy and live a good life." Then, holding her hand, she continued, "They also told me that if I have children in the future, they will help me take care of them so that I can go to work without any worries. Just thinking about it makes me so happy."
Lu Zhixia sensed her happiness. "As long as you're happy. By the way, when are you going to take Xiao Wang home to meet your parents?"
Zhou An'an leaned down slightly and rested her head on the table. "I hadn't told them I was dating before. I had to give them a heads-up. I was afraid they wouldn't be able to accept it right away and it would embarrass Xiao Wang."
Lu Zhixia said, "Of course it's good to give people a heads-up in advance. It's just a matter of knowing what you can and cannot say. You'll have to be careful about what you say when the time comes."
Zhou An'an got up from the table, intending to open his arms and hug Lu Zhixia as he used to, but he stopped halfway through the movement.
Do you have it or not?
Lu Zhixia said, "The shop has been busy these past few days, so I haven't been to see Grandpa. I'll leave early this afternoon and have him take a look at me."
Zhou An'an, "Will you still vomit like before?"
Lu Zhixia noticed something was wrong with the smell in the room as soon as she was reminded, and felt nauseous, but she couldn't let the guests see, so she quickly covered her mouth.
Zhou An'an quickly poured her a glass of water, "Drink some to calm down."
Lu Zhixia quickly drank half a glass of water to feel less nauseous.
"I realized I shouldn't mention this, and I could smell a fishy odor in the room."
Zhou An'an said with a smile, "I heard that this is how it is during pregnancy, you can't stand the smells you normally smell."
Lu Zhixia felt that the baby in her belly was a fussy little one.
“I didn’t have such a strong reaction when I was pregnant with Xiaoyan.”
"What did you say?" Su Lan asked as she walked over.
Zhou An'an immediately reported the good news, "Xiaxia is pregnant!"
Su Lan was furious when she heard this. "Why didn't you tell me you were pregnant? Don't do debt collection anymore. What if someone touches you?"
Lu Zhixia said, "I'm not made of paper, I'll definitely take good care of myself. Besides, I'm not even sure if I'm pregnant or not."
Su Lan: "Then how did you know you were pregnant?"
Zhou An'an interrupted, "That day, Xiaxia accompanied me out to eat. She could only drink hot and sour soup because she was having severe morning sickness."
Su Lan knew that Lu Zhixia must be pregnant when she heard that she had vomited. At this time, she observed that Lu Zhixia's face was a little pale.
"Why don't you go back and rest? There aren't many customers right now, and even if things get busy, I can handle it all by myself."
Lu Zhixia said, "Wouldn't that tire you out? If I get pregnant, we'll have to hire another person so that we can keep things running smoothly."
Su Lan said, "Don't think too much about it. The kids will be on holiday soon, and my husband Dayong will come back to help. Every penny we save is a penny we can!"
Lu Zhixia laughed, "Sister Lan really knows how to manage money!"
Su Lan leaned closer and asked, "Does your partner know?"
Lu Zhixia shook her head, "He's so busy with work, he only comes back occasionally."
Just as she finished speaking, Gu Lingxiao came in from outside, looking travel-worn, carrying fruit in his left hand and a fish in his right.
Seeing the fish, she really couldn't hold back anymore. Plus, there weren't many customers around, so she went to the trash can in the corner and vomited up everything she had eaten for lunch. You could say she vomited thoroughly.
Gu Lingxiao became anxious, "What's wrong?"
Su Lan handed Lu Zhixia a glass of water, "Quickly rinse your mouth to get rid of the taste, then you won't feel nauseous."
Lu Zhixia quickly drank some water to rinse her mouth, and when she looked up, she saw the fish again. She said in a weak voice,
"Take the fish away right now, I can't stand the smell."
Gu Lingxiao then realized what was going on, quickly took the fish to the kitchen, and then rushed out again. Seeing that the person had already sat down, he strode over.
"What happened?"
Su Lan laughed and teased, "What else could it be? Your wife is pregnant!"
Gu Lingxiao froze. He had thought that the two of them would have a child, but he didn't expect the child to come so suddenly. Looking at his wife's belly, he saw a little life growing inside.
"Really?"
Lu Zhixia wiped her mouth with a handkerchief. "I haven't gone to see Grandpa Bai yet, but I'm pretty sure it's true, I'm probably pregnant."
Gu Lingxiao got excited and immediately picked him up from the chair and spun him around. He was so happy.
Su Lan said, "Quickly put him down, or he'll fall."
Gu Lingxiao then calmed himself down and put the person down.
"I was so excited that I picked him up without saying a word!"
Lu Zhixia felt like her heart was about to jump out of her chest. She had been spun around a few times and felt a little nauseous, but there was nothing left to vomit, so she quickly drank some water and suppressed it.
Gu Lingxiao: "What should pregnant women pay attention to?"
Su Lan said, "You must pay attention to rest in the first few months to stabilize the pregnancy. Also, you need to pay attention to your diet. You must eat on time and eat nutritious food."
Gu Lingxiao silently noted it down in his mind, "Does that mean I can no longer manage the shop?"
Su Lan said, "From now on, Xiaxia won't be in charge of collecting payments. She can just sit at the counter. If her pregnancy symptoms get too severe, she'll have to stay at home."
Lu Zhixia: "I think it's okay, it's just that I can't stand the smell of fish."
Gu Lingxiao felt a pang of heartache. At that moment, he thought about his work, which he couldn't let go of and couldn't take care of. He felt that he hadn't fulfilled his responsibilities.
