That night, the two were as happy as newlyweds after a short separation, and the bed curtains swayed until dawn before finally settling down.
Even with Bai Yajing's excellent health, she was starting to feel the strain. She kicked him off the bed, rubbed her aching back, and glared at him.
Xiao Che smiled ingratiatingly, leaned closer, and reached out to massage her aching lower back and abdomen.
"Honey, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to, I just couldn't help it..."
Bai Yajing couldn't help but slap him on the head. However, she knew her limits and held back.
"You! Go! Sleep! in! The! Study!"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Che was completely dumbfounded. His usually affectionate eyes, which were usually fixed on dogs, now looked pitiful.
He buried his head in his wife's arms and drawled out, "Wife~"
Bai Yajing was both amused and exasperated, but she couldn't do anything about it. Who could resist a big dog's affection?
This man is as serious as steel when he's outside, but as soon as he comes back, he becomes a clingy and affectionate person in front of her.
"Alright, alright! Time to wash up and go to bed!"
"Okay! I'll go fetch water!" Seeing that his wife was finally not chasing him away, he immediately put on his clothes and went out to fetch water.
Helpless, Bai Yajing got out of bed, took out a medicine bottle from the drawer, opened it, poured out a pill, and took it.
Although she has almost fully recovered, she doesn't plan to have children too soon.
She and her grandmother made this medicine together; it is effective in preventing pregnancy without harming the body.
There are simply too few condoms available now; the ones distributed by her workplace are far from enough for Xiao Che. She also doesn't like reusing them.
When Xiao Che brought in the water, he sniffed and smelled the faint fragrance of medicine. "Taking medicine again? Does it really have no side effects?"
Bai Yajing took the wrung-out handkerchief from him and began to wipe the sweat off her body.
"Don't you know what Grandma and I are capable of? If it were really bad for your health, Grandma wouldn't have let me eat it. Don't worry."
Although Xiao Che knew this, he was still worried.
"Why don't you make some medicine for men, and I'll take it from now on?"
Bai Yajing felt a warmth in her heart upon hearing this.
"You've been away from home so long that Grandma and I forgot we could make some for you. Okay, I'll make some next time."
I had thought about giving it to him before, but my grandmother was worried that he, being a man, might feel uncomfortable about it, so she persuaded me to make it for women.
Since their specially made medicine doesn't harm the body, it doesn't matter who takes it.
I didn't expect him to bring it up himself, so I'll make it for him next time.
Seeing that she had agreed, Xiao Che smiled broadly. Although he knew it wouldn't cause any harm, he still didn't want his wife to eat it.
"By the way, the higher-ups have started promoting family planning, and this policy should be officially implemented in the next few years."
His wife had planned to have at least three or four children, which is why he brought it up.
Bai Yajing had also seen those promotional slogans, so she wasn't surprised to hear this.
"Hmm, let's wait another year, until I've fully recovered before getting pregnant again."
Since she mentioned wanting to have a child, Xiao Che had researched a lot about it and understood that women shouldn't be too close to each other when giving birth, which he strongly supported.
...
Autumn has passed and winter has arrived; the weather has turned cold again in the blink of an eye.
My godmother has been very busy lately; she's thrown herself back into new research and hasn't been home for a long time.
Bai Yajing and her maternal grandparents were worried that her health couldn't handle it, so they would send her nourishing soup from time to time.
Bai Yajing was off work today. In addition to bringing her nourishing soup, she also brought the new cotton-padded coat she had made for her godmother.
As soon as she arrived at her godmother's office at the research institute, she heard voices inside. She recognized the familiar voice immediately; it was Uncle Pei An again.
She smiled with a teasing expression. This year, Uncle Pei An seemed to have come to his senses and had been visiting much more frequently.
Moreover, he never came empty-handed, and his godmother's attitude gradually softened.
She felt like she was about to have a godfather.
