Chapter 39 (Second Update) What mode do you want? I...
After hearing his wife's explanation, Fu Cheng'an also felt that his aunt was somewhat at fault.
She herself was already being pressured by her in-laws because of her granddaughter's lack of children, but the Fu family wasn't pressuring the two young people to have children as soon as possible.
Of course, it would be best if it could be sooner; Fu Cheng'an is actually really looking forward to having a grandson.
It doesn't necessarily have to be a grandson; a granddaughter is fine too.
In short, since it's their child, he's really looking forward to it.
Fu Ci had told them that firstly, Mingli was too young, and they were worried she wouldn't be able to adapt to the change in status if she had a child so soon. Secondly, he was just starting his career and would be very busy, inevitably unable to take care of the family.
So, for whatever reason, it's better not to have children in the first two years.
They're not unenlightened elders; the young people have already made their concerns so clear, so how can we force them to have children as early as possible?
However, who would have thought that four years would pass in the blink of an eye, and Fu Ci is even busier than before, so it seems that having a child will have to be postponed again.
There was bound to be some disappointment, but Fu Cheng'an was very open-minded. After all, it was a matter between two young people, and their wishes should be the priority.
So why is Aunt so talkative?
If it weren't for his elders, Fu Cheng'an would have at least given them a few words of advice.
Now, all he can do is comfort his wife: "Don't worry, let's get the checkup done. Mingli looks great, she's full of energy."
Fu's mother agreed with this point; their Mingli could eat and sleep well, so they were bound to find out something was wrong.
As for herself...
She's already this age, and her children are grown up, so she's not afraid even if something goes wrong.
Even though I'm generally relaxed about it, the thought of going to the hospital for various tests still makes my heart pound and I can't help feeling nervous.
She said to her husband, "I wonder if Mingli will end up like me."
It's hard to say for sure about Fu Cheng'an. "Do you think Mingli is the type of person who overthinks things?"
Fu Mu: ...
It's not that she overthinks things; she's just worrying too much.
The couple chatted for a long time, so long that Fu Cheng'an, who only needed four hours of sleep a day to be full of energy, couldn't help but yawn before his mother finally fell asleep again.
This time, she did not wake up from her dream.

At six o'clock in the morning, the Fu family
Madam Fu and Grandpa Fu had already returned from their morning exercise in the yard, and Zhang Guihua was cooking breakfast in the kitchen.
Fu's mother had just finished washing up and came out of the bathroom. As she passed the stairs, she subconsciously looked up.
When she saw her mother-in-law return, she sat down to chat, and the first thing she said was, "I wonder if Mingli will be able to get up."
This is exactly what Madam Fu was worried about.
When was the last time Mingli got up at six o'clock?
Madam Fu really couldn't remember.
Fu's mother tried hard to recall for a long time, but still couldn't remember.
It seems that, to my recollection, I've never actually gotten up at six in the morning.
Fortunately, there's Fu Ci on the second floor, so there's no need to worry about Tang Mingli oversleeping. I just don't know how difficult it will be to wake her up.
They really misunderstood.
Getting up at six o'clock was something every cell in Tang Mingli resisted. But when Fu Ci woke her up, she remembered that she had important things to do today, and without any struggle, she jumped out of bed.
Fu Ci was so surprised that he could hardly believe his eyes.
I thought my wife would at least struggle a bit, delay a bit, just like those countless mornings before.
This time, however, she got up decisively and went to wash up without hesitation.
Tang Mingli's thinking was simple: a short, sharp pain is better than a long, drawn-out one. Since she was going to do this today, she shouldn't take any chances.
It's not like she'll have to get up at six every morning from now on. It's just an occasional event, and she can accept it with a very calm attitude.
After brushing her teeth, Tang Mingli found her husband still sitting on the bed, his eyes seemingly unfocused.
She thought he was just tired from the recent events, so she said to him, "If you're not in a rush, you can sleep a little longer. You've been really busy lately."
No, "busy" is not enough to describe it. In any case, Tang Mingli was still shaken by what she saw, and she also deeply understood that those who achieve great things must have a strong body and abundant mental strength.
Fu Ci was distracted because he was surprised by his wife's attitude when she got up today, not because he hadn't slept enough.
So when he heard his wife's words, his thoughts returned, and he immediately perked up.
He slept for six or seven hours, which was more than enough for him.
Tang Mingli shrugged and opened the wardrobe to start picking out clothes.
When going to the hospital for a physical examination, it's best to wear loose and comfortable pants.
In the end, she chose a Dacron floral shirt and a pair of straight-leg light gray cotton trousers.
The style of these pants is somewhat similar to the relaxed style that was once very popular in later generations, but the pant legs aren't as loose.
After putting it on, Tang Mingli looked at herself in the mirror from front to back and reluctantly accepted her outfit for going out today.
Tang Mingli glanced at her watch; it was already 6:20. Her mother-in-law must have been waiting for her for a while. After saying goodbye to Fu Ci, who was still in the bathroom, she went downstairs.
-
Although the distance from the compound to the provincial general hospital is a bit far, it used to be very convenient, as there were buses that went directly there from the bus stop near the compound.
No wonder my mother-in-law said she was running back and forth back then.
Since there was no need to transfer, Tang Mingli thought she could take a nap on the bus. However, once she got on, she found that she had no desire to close her eyes at all and felt perfectly energetic.
I woke up early this morning, and the moment I was woken up was a little painful. After waking up, I didn't feel much, and it had nothing to do with being half-dead in my past life.
This must be because my body gets enough sleep and doesn't lack sleep.
Feeling great, Tang Mingli decided to enjoy the morning view of Guangcheng.
This simple yet vibrant city, after a night of silence, restarted along with the rising sun.
Immersed in it, this journey, which should have been long, became short.
It felt like I'd only been on the bus a short while when my mother-in-law reminded me we were almost there.
Tang Mingli stretched slightly, affectionately took her mother-in-law's arm, and wanted to lean on her shoulder, but found that her mother-in-law's hand was trembling.
shake?
Tang Mingli looked at her mother-in-law and carefully examined her before noticing that she looked somewhat nervous.
"Mom, are you scared?"
Seeing that she couldn't hide it any longer, Fu's mother had no choice but to admit it, saying in a low voice, "I'm not afraid of you laughing at me, but I've always been afraid of going to the hospital since I was a child."
Especially since this is a physical examination, and I don't know what to do, I'm even more anxious.
Fear of going to the hospital.
This kind of fear is actually quite common, and Tang Mingli didn't find it funny.
On the contrary, she was very moved.
Despite her mother-in-law's fear, she was determined to stay with her.
Tang Mingli changed her approach to encourage her mother-in-law: "Mom, you're here with me for the checkup today. If you're scared too, I'll be even more scared."
Feeling her daughter-in-law's dependence on her, Fu's mother's maternal instincts kicked in. She gently patted her daughter-in-law's hand and said, "Don't be afraid. I know this hospital well. I'll stay with you."
Tang Mingli nodded emphatically, "You absolutely must not leave my sight."
"good."
However, since it is a physical examination, and a gynecological examination at that, some items are bound to be quite private, so how could you not let the other person out of your sight?
But thinking that she was her daughter-in-law's support, Fu's mother didn't really think about being scared during the entire physical examination. All she thought about was standing up for herself.
Fortunately, at that time, not many people were aware of the importance of physical examinations. Most of those who needed to undergo examinations were patients who came to see a doctor, so there were not many procedures that required queuing.
Tang Mingli and Fu's mother underwent a full and detailed examination, which took only a little over two hours to complete.
The results will be available in a week.
This is because the provincial general hospital is the best hospital in Guangcheng. If it were a lower-level hospital, the waiting time would be even longer. This is because most secondary hospitals at this stage have limited facilities and would need to send blood and urine samples taken from the patient to the provincial hospital for further testing.
While its efficiency and accuracy may not be comparable to those of later generations, this physical examination was the most comfortable Tang Mingli had ever experienced in her two lifetimes.
After leaving the hospital, Fu's mother breathed a long sigh of relief, thinking that there was nothing to be afraid of when coming to the hospital for a check-up; she had only scared herself.
Tang Mingli was thinking that it was getting late, and she needed to hurry to the state-run restaurant for morning tea.
Tang Mingli believes that few people can match her dedication to food.

During the first two days of waiting for the medical examination results, the Fu family was quite nervous.
The Chinese mindset is that they are more afraid of the unexpected than the possible.
But Tang Mingli eventually persuaded them that whatever the outcome, it was already set in stone, and worrying wouldn't change anything.
Moreover, the doctors who examined them did not show any abnormalities during the examination, so it can be inferred that there should be no major problems.
Her rational optimism inspired her whole family, and they gradually stopped thinking about it and patiently waited for the day when they could get the results.
As the days passed, and tomorrow was finally the day to pick up the results, Tang Mingli, usually the most optimistic person, surprisingly suffered from insomnia.
how so?
Tang Mingli couldn't understand it, so she turned over in bed again.
She moved very gently, afraid of waking Fu Ci, who was already asleep.
Little did she know that Fu Ci already knew her too well and could tell whether she was asleep or not just by her breathing.
She wasn't asleep, so naturally he couldn't fall asleep first.
Fu Ci could no longer pretend and spoke softly in the darkness, "What's wrong?"
Even though the voice was soft, Tang Mingli's heart still skipped a beat, and she turned around to face him.
"I don't know if it's because I slept too much during the day, but I can't fall asleep."
Her tone was somewhat pitiful, yet also carried a hint of coquetry, just like the two of them back then...
Fu Ci's Adam's apple bobbed, and when he spoke again, his voice was somewhat hoarse: "How long did you sleep during the day?"
Tang Mingli silently calculated in her mind: "From one o'clock in the afternoon to a little after three o'clock, it's more than two hours."
This nap time might be a bit long for others, but it's not excessive for her.
I've slept longer before, and I never had insomnia at night.
Sigh, whether she admits it or not, the reason she couldn't sleep tonight was because she was a little nervous about getting her medical report tomorrow.
Perhaps I should do something to distract myself.
Tang Mingli leaned closer to Fu Ci and asked softly, "Are you busy tomorrow?"
"Busy," Fu Ci replied truthfully.
Not just tomorrow, but the day after tomorrow, the day after that, and the day after that... he'll probably be busy on every day that appears on the calendar.
"oh."
Tang Mingli withdrew her outstretched hand from her husband, only to be suddenly grabbed by him.
Fu Ci gritted his teeth: "Does being busy mean I can't live a normal life?"
With that, he flipped over and pinned his petite wife beneath him.
Tang Mingli chuckled awkwardly, then happily reached out and hugged his back, whispering in his ear, "I want to experience the whirlwind mode tonight, is that possible?"
Fu Ci gently bit her restless lips and told her, "Whatever mode you want, I have it all here."
