Chapter 143: Couple Praying for a Child
The northern wind made Ye Shuyi and Chen Nanfeng, a pair of native southerners, shiver.
If the wind in the south is cold and makes people feel icy, then the wind in the north is biting and oppressive, like a thorn, eager to scratch the exposed skin.
As soon as Ye Shuyi left the station, she pulled her hat down and put her mask up.
Only a pair of eyes are exposed.
It's quite cute.
The two first took a taxi to the hotel, and then went to the barbecue stall across the street to eat the local famous mixed chicken racks.
It is said that mixed chicken racks originated during the local economic downturn, when chicken racks were processed into a delicacy that not only satisfied the appetite but was also economical. Gradually, mixed chicken racks became popular and became a local delicacy.
The chicken rack that Ye Shuyi and her friends had this time was not spicy.
It's called a chicken rack, but there's still a little bit of meat on it. Just this bit is enough to satisfy you.
As for the grilled skewers, they are also quite flavorful, full of salty fragrance and crispy when eaten.
Both of these were incredibly delicious.
If there is one local food that I am not used to, it is undoubtedly stew.
As a Cantonese cuisine lover who pursues exquisite delicacies, with chicken having chicken flavor and fish having fish flavor, Ye Shuyi really can't get used to this kind of dish that stews many foods together at once, and she holds an attitude of respect but not liking it.
Also, Ye Shuyi ordered some spareribs, and the piece served was a big one, enough for making soup.
Ye Shuyi tried it, but it wasn't to her taste.
never mind.
I tried ice skating and skiing, and saw all the famous buildings.
Go home.
It’s really cold outside.
…
It was ten days later when they returned to Hong Kong Island. They had been traveling for ten days.
After Ye Shuyi had a good rest, she went to her shop to check the situation.
As a result, Shi Ruoxin looked at her embarrassedly.
"What's wrong? Ah Xin." Ye Shuyi noticed that something was wrong with her.
Shi Ruoxin said: "Sister Shuyi, let me tell you something."
"What's up?"
"I want a vacation."
"Oh, take a break. How many days?"
"Maybe it will take a while... If Sister Shuyi fires me for this, I won't complain." Shi Ruoxin said, leaning her head against the wall.
"Huh?" Why couldn't she understand what the other person was saying?
"I'm pregnant. Well, I want to go back and take care of the baby. But I can do it for another two or three months."
"Huh?" Ye Shuyi was surprised.
no?
Are these people so fast?
Ye Shuyi was very emotional about this.
But he did not show excessive surprise, but tried his best to remain calm.
After all, at this age and in this era, it's normal.
Ye Shuyi said sympathetically, "Now that you're pregnant, rest well and don't overwork yourself. You can come back anytime, and the position is reserved for you. I'll pay you the usual salary until after you give birth, and then give you three months to adjust."
This benefit is quite good.
Shi Ruoxin undoubtedly thought so too. She was moved and said, "Sister Shuyi, you are such a kind person!"
"It's okay, just rest and take care of the baby."
Anyway...it's not like she has no money.
Moreover, Shi Ruoxin was given this treatment because she was a veteran in the store.
As for the others, it depends on the situation.
Shi Ruoxin thanked him again and again.
Ye Shuyi said it was fine, then inspected the store's hygiene and sampled various dishes. After confirming that there was no problem, she left with peace of mind.
After a few days, Wu Shuorong probably knew how Ye Shuyi treated Shi Ruoxin, and he even bought some gifts and went to Xiangjiang Kitchen to express his gratitude.
To be honest, things always happen by chance.
Just as Wu Shuorong was grinning in thanks, Xie Yanfei and Dong Lin'er came in with sad faces.
"Eh? Why are you here too?" Ye Shuyi asked in surprise.
Isn't this another appointment?
That's not right. Didn't these two already quit and start their own business? There's no need to ask her for leave!
After a brief greeting, Dong Lin'er spoke.
"Sister Shuyi, I came here this time to ask you for a favor."
"What's the matter? I will definitely help if I can." Ye Shuyi promised.
"Didn't you learn how to make herbal tea from that Miss Hong before? Did you also learn about Chinese medicine by the way?" she asked tentatively.
"Have you encountered any difficult or complicated diseases? I just watched from the side. Although herbal tea is a traditional Chinese medicine, it is also a small branch of traditional Chinese medicine. I know a little bit about it and can't help you much. However, I know where Miss Hong Shiqiong is and I can take you to see her." Ye Shuyi suggested.
"That's great! We've been trying to get pregnant since we got married... but nothing's working." This really makes them worried.
Ye Shuyi touched her chin and tried hard to recall.
When did they get married?
It seems like early January.
It’s only mid to late March now.
Just over two months.
It’s normal not to get pregnant!
Ye Shuyi said truthfully: "Don't worry, it's still early! Try to eat more supplements and regulate your body, and it will come naturally."
Dong Lin'er sighed.
"That's the truth. I went to see a doctor specifically, hoping they could help me develop a suitable pregnancy diet or give me some advice on diet and activities. But the doctor said that with my condition, I probably wouldn't be able to become a mother in the future."
"Ah?" Ye Shuyi asked, "What's going on with you?"
Dong Lin'er shook her head. "He spoke very professionally, saying things like 'cold air entering the body' and 'qi and blood loss'. They were all bad words anyway."
Ye Shuyi asked her to stretch out her hand in a serious tone so that she could feel her pulse.
It’s true. You can’t tell from his face, but his pulse shows that he is quite weak.
It seems a bit congested.
Ye Shuyi was not an expert in this area, so she called Hong Shiqiong in front of them to make an appointment.
Hong Shiqiong happens to be free tomorrow, so it was decided.
Now that the matter was settled, Xie Yanfei and his wife expressed their gratitude and put down the gift.
Together with Wu Shuorong, they said goodbye to Ye Shuyi.
Ye Shuyi sat in her original position, holding her chin and thinking.
Why does everyone want kids so much?
She was just average, and didn't even want it.
The most important reason is fear of pain.
And your figure may be distorted as a result.
She is afraid of pain and loves beauty.
I also don’t think I can give selfless love to a child.
So she admires her mother very much.
Chen Nanfeng came over for dinner tonight, and Ye Shuyi specifically talked to him about this topic.
If there is a disagreement between the two, then... negotiate it out.
I actually forgot to discuss such an important topic as children.
This is a crucial issue for whether we can have a long-term future!
"Chen Nanfeng, let me ask you a question. Do you want to have children in the future?"
"It's all up to you. If you are willing to give birth, I will raise the child. If you don't want to, that's fine too." Chen Nanfeng showed absolute respect in this matter.
This was the answer Ye Shuyi was happy to hear.
But she still worries: "I've seen many men who agreed not to have children before marriage, but after marriage use parental pressure or other reasons to pressure their partners to have children."
"Do you think I am such a person?" Chen Nanfeng frowned slightly.
"I certainly hope you're not. Do you like children? Not considering whether I give birth to them or not, but just children."
"I find well-behaved children cute, but I get annoyed when I see naughty ones." He said this without any reservation.
Ye Shuyi also expressed her empathy for this answer, which was exactly the same.
I hate naughty kids rummaging through things and making a lot of noise.
On the contrary, innocent and cute human cubs are still quite likable.
Ye Shuyi nodded: "That's your opinion, what about your parents? Do they want children?"
"They probably want grandchildren, but they're not unreasonable. If you say you don't want to have children, they won't force you. Even if they pressure you, I'll stand by you. This is a matter between the two of us, and even if they're parents, they can't interfere."
"Okay, that's what you said. Don't regret it."
"Am I the kind of person who breaks his promise?" Chen Nanfeng asked back.
That's certainly not the case.
Just in case, Ye Shuyi said, "I want to sign a contract with you. Have you thought about it? You are not allowed to interfere with my childbearing for any reason in the future."
"otherwise……"
Chen Nanfeng leaned over and asked, "Otherwise what?"
"Otherwise, compensate me 3 million." This was the lion's big demand.
Chen Nanfeng agreed without thinking: "No problem, where's the contract? I'll sign it now."
Ye Shuyi smiled and said, "I'll finish it and show it to you tomorrow."
"Can."
"By the way, I don't want your parents to be too disappointed. If they really want to have a grandchild, why don't we go to the welfare home and adopt one? If one is not enough, then two." Ye Shuyi added.
Chen Nanfeng looked at her and smiled faintly: "It's all up to my girlfriend."
Ye Shuyi nodded with satisfaction, and then realized something was wrong!
They weren't even married yet, and she was already discussing this topic with him.
Is this a tacit admission that they are going to...get married?
A great man once said that any relationship that is not aimed at marriage is hooliganism.
There's nothing wrong with having marriage as a prerequisite.
Wouldn't this make me seem unreserved? Ye Shuyi wondered.
"What's wrong?" Chen Nanfeng asked curiously when he noticed that her face looked strange.
"Nothing. I just feel a little bit like that. We are just dating, and we are not even talking about marriage yet."
"Oh~" Chen Nanfeng said with a look of understanding, "You mean, you're not satisfied with the current situation and want to get married soon?"
Ye Shuyi's eyes widened: "I didn't say that! Don't misunderstand me!"
"I understand. I will." Chen Nanfeng replied as if he had read the message.
Ye Shuyi simply didn't discuss it with him.
…
Hong Shiqiong's nephew was young and promising. He quickly became rich by relying on his foresight in operating an abandoned base station and bought a nice house.
As for the child, a special confinement nanny was hired to take care of him.
Why? It wasn't like this at the beginning. It was Hong Shiqiong and her niece-in-law who looked after the child together.
But my niece-in-law is a new mother and doesn't know a lot of things. And Hong Shiqiong is even worse. You can ask her to treat a disease, but not to take care of a child.
After all, she is still a single mother, not to mention raising a child.
As for the child’s grandparents, they are in the mountains.
The child’s grandparents are not young anymore, and they don’t want to trouble the elderly.
The best solution is to hire a confinement nanny.
When Xie Yanfei and Dong Lin'er arrived, Hong Shiqiong was holding the child and coaxing him to sleep.
The confinement nanny took a day off today, and the child’s mother also went out for something.
The way Hong Shiqiong hugged him was so unbearable to look at.
Seeing the child crying non-stop, Hong Shiqiong wondered, "I just fed him milk powder, why is he hungry again?"
Xie Yanfei and his wife showed envious expressions.
They also want to wonder like this! Let them worry about this!
Ye Shuyi frowned and held her forehead with her hand, saying, "Sister Qiong, did you... crush the child?"
"Ah?" Hong Shiqiong was puzzled.
Where did she press?
Ye Shuyi couldn't bear to watch it any longer. Although she wasn't a professional, she should be more talented than Sister Qiong...
"Let me try." She stepped forward to take the child.
Hong Shiqiong handed it to her half-believing and half-doubting.
Ye Shuyi held the baby and rocked him gently, with small movements and soft movements. At the same time, she was singing nursery rhymes to the child in a soft voice.
The child stopped crying within seconds of being in her arms and fell asleep with his eyes closed.
Hong Shiqiong was stunned by this and insisted on asking what the secret was.
Although the confinement nanny had taught her the secret many times, she just didn't understand.
While Ye Shuyi was holding the child, Hong Shiqiong started to do today's work.
Let’s see what the problem is for this young couple who don’t have children.
She first glanced at Dong Lin'er, then at Xie Yanfei a few times, and had a vague answer in her mind.
"Just sit wherever you want, don't be restrained." She poured everyone a cup of tea and brought out some snacks to entertain the guests.
"good."
Hong Shiqiong took the pulse of the two and asked some questions such as how they felt about eating and sleeping.
Both of them said it was not very good because of anxiety.
Afterwards, Hong Shiqiong also asked Dong Lin'er some questions about women.
She concluded: "You have a serious problem. It is indeed difficult to get pregnant."
"Oh." Dong Lin'er sighed as she saw the expected result.
"Then how should I treat it?" she asked.
Hong Shiqiong said, "Don't be impatient."
Then, she said to Xie Yanfei, "Your problem is even bigger. The main problem lies with you."
"Ah?" The person whose name was called was surprised.
"Are you surprised? Pregnancy is a matter for both parties. It won't work if either party has a problem."
"Then, what should I do?"
"Well... aphrodisiac. Your activity level is not very good." Hong Shiqiong said bluntly.
When it was said to his face, Xie Yanfei's face inevitably turned red with embarrassment.
"I understand." He nodded.
"Besides, your physique is weak and cannot be replenished. It will be difficult to deal with you."
"Okay, I'll prescribe a prescription for each of you. You take it on time, and then come here to see me once every two weeks." Hong Shiqiong said as she wrote a prescription with a brush.
The two thanked him repeatedly.
Dong Lin'er asked anxiously, "Doctor Hong, how long will it take for this to work?"
"Three months, just do as I say, and you'll be pregnant within three months."
"Okay." Although it took a while, they knew that this was the fastest way.
The two then asked how much the medical fee was.
Hong Shiqiong offered a relatively cheap price.
Because she wasn't trying to make money from this, and what's more, she was introduced by Ye Shuyi, so there was a discount.
The couple's life is not difficult, and can even be considered middle class.
I hesitated when I heard the price.
They kept the gifts and secretly decided to give a bigger red envelope when she got pregnant.
Here, Ye Shuyi had already coaxed the child to sleep and put him on the bed.
