Before her uncle returned, Bai Yajing received more good news.
Xiao Che rushed back from the Ministry of State Security.
"Wife, wife..." The voice came in before she even entered the door.
Grandpa saw him rush inside as soon as he entered the door, and shook his head helplessly with a smile, "This kid, he's not young anymore, yet he's so impetuous."
Grandpa had just finished a set of exercises when he heard this and chuckled, "You're a dad again, how can you not be excited?"
The two little ones followed behind, pretending to finish their work, and were quite speechless at their dad's complete lack of awareness of them.
"Dad zoomed past!"
"Hmm, whoosh!"
The two little ones were talking and gesturing at the same time.
They are over three years old this year, and they are talking very fluently. They are like little chatterboxes, always asking adults questions, like a walking encyclopedia of whys.
"Mom said she has a baby in her tummy. Are we going to be big brothers and sisters?"
"I think so. Tiger said his little brother jumped out of his mother's belly."
"Um, the little monkey he brought over last time was so ugly! I don't want one that ugly!"
The two little ones were discussing it very seriously, which made the two old men very happy.
"Da Bao, Xiao Bao, those are newborn babies. It's normal for them to be red and wrinkled. They're not ugly. They'll grow into beautiful babies."
Grandpa Bai was both amused and exasperated. That Tiger was really something else, daring to bring a newborn baby out to play. He'd probably get a beating when he got home.
The two elderly people each carried one child out of the yard, leaving space for the couple inside.
Bai Yajing had just finished drinking her medicine when Xiao Che entered the room.
"Honey, your colleague called me and said you fainted at the hospital. I was so scared!"
"You're pregnant?"
He was both surprised and delighted when he heard the news on the phone!
He watched his wife nervously, and seeing that she had finished her medicine, he immediately took out the candied fruit and dried fruit from the cabinet and handed them to her.
Bai Yajing took one and put it in her mouth. The sweet and sour taste of the candied fruit immediately diluted the bitterness of the medicine.
She raised her hand to her chest, her brow furrowed. "Sigh! I've been too busy lately and haven't taken care of myself. It's okay, don't worry, it'll be fine after the first three months."
Xiao Che gently patted her back and said, "Wife, you've worked hard."
“You haven’t had much of an appetite lately. I’ll go out and find something to whet your appetite later.”
Bai Yajing agreed. If a man treats you well, then that's what will happen next.
"Aren't you busy lately? Nothing's wrong when you get back?"
"It's alright, there are many people watching over there, nothing will happen. How can I work in peace if you've fainted?"
Bai Yajing laughed and punched him lightly. "Grandpa Gao told me to rest at home for a few days to adjust my body. If it's really not okay, I should rest for the first three months."
However, I feel fine, and I just need to be careful not to overexert myself, so I plan to rest for a few days.
"However... I'm pregnant again. If I give birth to this child, my parents, grandparents and grandfather might not be able to handle it."
And two clingy brats at that! They're driving the elders crazy every day.
She was thinking that although she couldn't openly hire a housekeeper, it wouldn't be a problem to secretly say that she was a relative who had come to stay with her.
Many families in Kyoto do this. It's a way of providing a job opportunity for middle-aged women who have no income.
Xiao Che tidied her hair and affectionately pinched her nose.
“I’ve been thinking about this ever since you said before the new year that you were planning to get pregnant again this year.”
However, a suitable candidate hasn't been found yet. After all, the person will be helping take care of the family, so their character and morals can't be questionable!
Seeing that he had a plan in mind, Bai Yajing decided not to interfere anymore.
