Chapter 926: Lao Xie goes to the island, she is about to give birth
[Thank you, Professor! The two little pigs are moving around, so lively!]
[But I don’t seem to be that big because my belly is not obvious, but they all say I am healthy]
[It would be nice if you could touch it, it's really amazing]
…
The two piglets have grown up recently and become more active. I suspect they are fighting because the noise is so loud.
Sometimes I can’t help but wonder, why dream about two piglets when there are so many other options?
…
They are a bit noisy today
…
[Not so good today]
…
[Maybe because I was scared by the underwater volcanic eruption last night, I have been quiet since midnight]
[Do you think they've really become well-behaved, or are they just being strategically quiet?]
…
It's really interesting, but it's getting bigger and bigger, and it's getting too heavy. I can't hold it up anymore.
…
[There are still two months left. I hope you can be with me and the two little pigs on that day.]
…
【Professor Xie, are you not coming back yet? 】
If you don’t come back, we won’t wait for you.
…
After reading all the message records, Xie Dingyuan's first reaction was confusion.
Two little piglets?
Are they two quite noisy?
Is this a new pet Yueyue got?
Seeing the sentence "It's too heavy, I can't hold it up", Xie Dingyuan couldn't help but curl his lips.
It's been over half a year, and my wife hasn't even hugged him yet, and now she's hugged two pigs?!
Professor Xie felt so upset that his heart was bubbling with anger.
Is he not as good as two pigs?
Thinking of this, he immediately typed——
I am not happy anymore.
[Tell me, between me and those two pigs, who do you choose? ]
【You can only choose one】
The man paused, his eyes showing a hint of tenderness, and he continued typing——
【Yueyue, I miss you】
[Day and night, all the time, every minute and every second, I am thinking about it]
After ten minutes, there was still no reply, and Xie Dingyuan couldn't help but frown.
Did they really choose those two pigs?
Coincidentally, after Xie Dingyuan finished looking through the message records of his family and friends, he called home to report that he was safe, but no one told him that he had become a father!
He is also the father of two children!
It's understandable that the Jiang and Han families didn't mention it. After all, it was their own children who suffered. It would be strange if they had resentment in their hearts and could treat him well!
But the Xie family, his biological parents...
"How is it? What did A Yuan say? Is the mission completed? When will you return home?" Fu Wanxiu stared at Xie Zhendong nervously.
The latter slowly put down his phone and pushed up his reading glasses: "Don't worry, the mission was successfully completed. He is already on the special plane back home and will arrive tomorrow at the latest!"
"Really?! Thank God, Amitabha! You're finally back!"
etc……
Fu Wanxiu's expression froze. "Have you told A Yuan that Yueyue is pregnant and about to give birth?"
Xie Zhendong was stunned for two seconds: "I forgot, I forgot to tell you... But since he already has the phone, he will definitely contact Yueyue as soon as possible. Maybe he already knows it."
"That's right..." The old lady felt relieved.
At that time, on Duofu Island, the Internet went crazy again.
Since Jiang Fuyue was pregnant and had difficulty moving, everyone tacitly agreed not to bother her with such a small matter and directly called a worker to fix it.
Unfortunately, the worker had limited skills and stood on the ladder for a long time, swaying in the sea breeze, but he couldn't find what the problem was.
"I'm sorry, I..." He wiped the sweat off his forehead, looking ashamed and embarrassed.
"It's okay, Master. You can find the problem by checking carefully."
"I'm sure I'll find it, but it'll take a little longer. I'm really sorry that you can't get online."
"Don't say that. It won't take a moment. Just take your time."
“Hey——”
At night, the network still hadn't been restored.
After everyone's persuasion, the worker packed up his tools and returned to the camp, deciding to continue tomorrow.
Everyone expressed their understanding of this.
"Just go slow. Every time I see Professor Jiang climbing up and down, I can't help but sweat. What if he bumps into something..."
"Professor Jiang's belly is so big, it's time for her to give birth, right?"
"Ask Jinjin, she knows that she handles every prenatal checkup for Sister Yue."
"The due date is less than ten days away. The delivery room, equipment, injections and medicines are all in place. Don't worry."
"Time flies! It's been almost a year since we came to the island..."
"I don't know when I can go back."
…
The helicopter landed at the Imperial Capital International Airport at 11 a.m. the next day.
Xie Dingyuan was picked up by a black Hongqi sedan and taken to the science lecture hall, where a group of leaders were already waiting.
What follows is a five-hour work report.
There was a twenty-minute intermission, but Jiang Fuyue was never contacted.
Xie Dingyuan wanted to call home or call Han Yun to ask about the situation, but before he could dial the number, the second half began.
He had no choice but to turn off the phone.
After the report was finally finished, Xie Dingyuan left the meeting room as quickly as possible, wishing he could grow wings and fly back home.
At this moment, he was already feeling a little uneasy.
"A Yuan, wait a minute——"
The old leader stopped him and expressed his condolences, "...You've worked hard during this period. Jiang Fuyue's situation hasn't been easy either. You two have made an indelible contribution this time..."
Hearing him mention Jiang Fuyue, Xie Dingyuan's eyelids jumped: "What happened to Yueyue?"
"Don't you know yet?" The old man was stunned.
Next, Xie Dingyuan learned from his old leader that the medical team had to stay in Duofu due to the maritime blockade by countries A and K, and had not returned yet.
Finally, the old leader patted him on the shoulder and said, "...Safety is the most important thing. We have made a breakthrough in our negotiations with countries A and K, and we will be able to bring them back soon."
Xie Dingyuan's eyes darkened slightly and the corners of his mouth tightened.
It’s been almost a year…and she’s still on the island…
How can I not worry?
"Go back, have a good rest, and wait for your wife to come back."
"Oh, right," the old leader, who had already taken two steps, suddenly turned back, a smile breaking out on his usually serious face. "I almost forgot to congratulate you. I used to think you were slow to catch on, but I didn't expect you to use such a powerful move right away. Really impressive!"
Xie Dingyuan: “?”
Ultimate move? What ultimate move?
I returned home confused and heard the old man and the old lady arguing as soon as I entered the door.
Fu Wanxiu: "This purple is so beautiful! It's noble and mysterious, suitable for both men and women. Why did you have to buy pink? You have no appreciation for it at all."
Xie Zhendong: "What do you know? Girls are cute only when they are pink and tender."
"What if it's a boy?"
"There are two of them! One of them will definitely be a little princess. Don't worry, we have the gene for it in our family."
The old lady's mouth twitched: "Then purple is better, it's suitable for both men and women."
"No! They're all wearing purple. What if we can't tell which is which?"
"That's right..."
"Hehe, so I'd better buy a pink one, just in case."
"Buy the purple one too, so we can change into different outfits."
"That's fine."
Finally, the old couple took a step back and were about to place an order with their phones when suddenly -
"Dad, Mom."
Fu Wanxiu was stunned: "Old man, am I hallucinating? Why do I hear A Yuan's voice?"
Xie Zhendong: "I heard it too."
The two of them looked up at the entrance at the same time, and the next second -
"Xiaojiu, you're back?!" There were tears in the old lady's eyes.
"It's good that you're back, it's good that you're back." The old man nodded repeatedly.
After calming down, the old lady snatched the phone from the old man and handed it to her son: "Xiaojiu, you choose, pink or purple? We will listen to you."
The old man nodded: "Yes, I'll listen to you."
Facing the two elders' eager eyes, Xie Dingyuan lowered his head and glanced at the screen, his eyes blank.
Baby onesies?
"Who are you buying it for?" He looked up blankly.
Although childbirth is now more liberalized, the married sisters won’t work so hard, right?
The old man and the old lady looked at each other.
"You don't know?" they said in unison.
Xie Dingyuan: "Know what?"
"Yueyue is pregnant. Your cub."
“?!”
"twin."
“!”
"It's already nine months, and the baby is coming soon."
“!!”
Xie Dingyuan stood there motionless for five minutes, his expression dazed.
So, the "two little pigs" Yueyue mentioned are his piglets?
No wonder the old leader smiled and congratulated him!
"Dad, Mom, I want to go to Duofu."
The old man and the old lady looked at each other.
That evening, the old leader received a call from Xie Dingyuan. After listening to his request——
"...Nonsense! The situation at sea is tense right now, and the standoff between A and K has reached a fever pitch. If you intervene now, wouldn't that just add to the chaos?"
Xie Dingyuan: "Yueyue is pregnant with my child. She's now on a poorly maintained island. She's about to give birth. Can I just sit back and do nothing? Would I still be considered a man then?"
"Eh? I didn't ask you to just sit there and do nothing..."
"Staying in the imperial capital is like sitting back and doing nothing!"
"But given the current situation and your status, it's really not appropriate for you to get involved..."
"Now that I'm back, there's no way I'll let her give birth to a child alone on the island." There was a hint of strength in his words.
"So what do you want?"
"If she can't come back, then I'll go there. I have to be with her after all. I've also figured out a way to bypass the blockades of A and K by taking a route through Country C."
This method is not impossible, but...
"We need some time to communicate with Country C."
Xie Dingyuan: "No need, I've already contacted them, and they've agreed. Please contact your superiors as soon as possible to speed up the document approval process, because - I will definitely leave tomorrow!"
There are less than ten days left until the due date, and Yueyue may give birth at any time. In the past, it would take at least six days, so he doesn't have much time left.
This was the first time the old man saw Xie Dingyuan so strong.
What he said was not "I will leave tomorrow", but "I will definitely leave tomorrow".
He was terrified by the determination to risk everything at any cost.
I also clearly realized that—
Can't be stopped!
"Okay, I'll make arrangements right away! Remember, your own safety is paramount. You still have children to raise."
Xie Dingyuan's tone slowed down slightly: "...I understand."
That night, the man stayed awake all night and the lights were on in the Xie family's house.
Fu Wanxiu and Xie Zhendong packed all the baby clothes, supplies, and various things needed by the new mother that they had bought during this period.
"Luckily we bought a lot."
The old man nodded.
Ever since they learned that Jiang Fuyue was pregnant, the old couple couldn't control their shopping spree.
From offline physical stores to online shopping platforms, once you see something suitable, you can’t help but buy it.
After a few months, the things filled up three rooms.
Fortunately, the old house is big enough and has many rooms.
Later in the night, Jiang Da and Han Yunru also drove over.
"Can I go with you?" Han Yunru asked.
Xie Dingyuan shook his head: "I am the only one who has the approval documents."
One more person won’t work.
Jiang Da comforted her: "It's okay, Yueyue can take care of herself. Now that A Yuan is gone, there will be no problem. Don't worry."
Han Yunru nodded randomly and moved the things she brought into the truck.
At five o'clock, the truck will drive to the dock and load everything onto the ship.
At six o'clock, Xie Dingyuan set off on time.
He stood on the deck, looking at the sea level at sunrise, and murmured softly:
"Yueyue, wait for me."
…
Thanks to the unremitting efforts of the workers, the island's network was finally restored on the third day.
"I've been unable to access the internet for three days, and I'm dying of boredom. I'm just watching this little entertainment to kill time!"
"You still have time to kill? I envy you."
"By the way, what have you been busy with lately? You haven't been seen all day."
"Hey hey... I'm generating income!"
"What kind of income will it generate?"
"Hehe... Didn't Sister Yue encourage us to do more business with the villagers and help them adapt to the modern economy and society as quickly as possible?"
"So what did you do?"
"Nothing much, I just ordered a batch of paulownia glazed pillows to take out when we leave the island. I've been busy inspecting the goods and paying for them these past few days!"
"Tung glaze pillow? What are you going to do with it?"
"Of course I'll take them out and sell them! Believe me, if you store them for a while before selling them, the price will definitely increase a hundredfold."
"Hiss—is this true? There's such a huge market opportunity for these paulownia glazed pillows?"
"You don't know this, right? Let me tell you, this paulownia glaze pillow is soaked in secret spices and smoked with special medicinal herbs. It may not look very pretty and is a bit heavy, but it's very effective in treating insomnia!"
"Is this true?"
"Furthermore, the production process of this pillow is monopolized by a few wealthy families on the island. The production period is long and the quantity is small. It will definitely be priceless in the future. Just wait and see!"
…
Everyone adapted to life on the island day by day, and lived and worked like a duck in water.
Today's medical team has made a lot of money through various infrastructure projects in the past year.
The villagers are also actively adapting to the new life and new things.
Now, Jiang Fuyue has become the most leisurely one, doing nothing all day long. Apart from eating and sleeping, he just waits for "unloading".
In order to ensure a smooth delivery, she also strictly followed the nutritional diet and exercise plan specially customized for her by the doctor.
I have to spend a lot of time every day to take care of my body, and also write papers and read books.
Whenever there is any new change in her child, she will share it with Xie Dingyuan on WeChat as soon as possible.
Sadly, I never received a reply.
The internet didn't stop sending messages during the three days it was offline, but there was an exclamation mark after each message, indicating that the message was not sent successfully.
She guessed that this person was still suffering in Continent F!
Hot weather and desert environment...
Thinking of this, the little bit of complaint that had just arisen in my heart disappeared immediately.
Jiang Fuyue stroked her round belly and said, "Dad protects the world, and Mom protects you."
…
At night, Jiang Fuyue was awakened by a sudden pain.
I reached out and touched it, and found that my water had broken.
“Tinjin——”
There is only one day left until the due date, Jiang Fuyue is about to give birth!
At the same time, in the bamboo building, Zhong Cheng suddenly opened his eyes and called out to wake up Fu Suizhong——
"Get up! Take the herbs and go to the camp!"
“…Huh? What?”
"She's due to give birth."
"?"
At that time, on the calm sea, a large ship was gradually approaching the buoyant dock.
Xie Dingyuan suddenly couldn't stop feeling panicky, "Hurry up."
Captain: “Okay.”
Because the question is about "first reaction", the correct answer is A~
