She rubbed her stomach and smacked her lips a few times. "Grandma went out to get my medicine. I'm so hungry..."
Xiao Che jumped up and said, "Wife, wait here, I'll go make you a bowl of noodles."
"Add more of Mom's pickled radishes! I like them." Xiao's mother especially enjoys making pickled vegetables now, and she always sends out a lot, which she quite likes.
"Okay."
When Bai Yajing saw him go out to cook noodles for her, she also got out of bed.
This pregnancy was a bit unstable, and she was feeling somewhat uncomfortable.
Just then, laughter came from outside the courtyard.
"Ya Jing, Ya Jing! Mom's here! Hahahaha..."
Bai Yajing knew immediately that it was Xiao's mother. She had been living a comfortable life in recent years, and her personality had gradually become more cheerful and straightforward.
She hurried outside. "Mom? Why did you come over? Are you tired?"
Xiao's mother put the package on the table, took the tea handed to her by her daughter-in-law, and gulped it down in one go.
"Mom isn't tired, not at all. A-Che called to say you're pregnant again, and I was worried, so I came over."
I went there and got a lot of good stuff, I brought it over for you to nourish your body.
I made some fresh kimchi that you love, and I brought it all for you!
Bai Yajing was deeply moved as she watched her take them out one by one.
"Mom, you're so good to me!"
When Xiao's mother hugged her, she didn't know whether to laugh or cry. She patted her gently and said, "You're part of my family. If I'm not good to you, who will I be good to?"
"Besides, you've always been incredibly kind to us old folks."
"If you hadn't been so careful and retrieved those things from the black market, we probably would never have found them in our entire lives!"
Bai Yajing felt a pang of guilt when she heard her mention that; in fact, it was something she had put into the jade pendant back then.
However, since she couldn't say it out loud, she simply said that she had gone to the black market to ask someone to find it. This made the Xiao family of four extremely excited, and they kept praising her for being capable, thoughtful, and filial...
"Hehehe, Mom, how are Dad and Grandpa doing?"
She awkwardly changed the subject.
As soon as Xiao's mother mentioned this, she got excited and slapped her thigh, "Hey! Don't mention it, those two won't listen to advice!"
You've just started to feel better and you're already going on another trip! Your grandfather is already that old, and he's gone on another business trip!
Not to mention your dad, he's working on a new book now, writing until midnight every day without stopping!
I told him not to stay up late, but he just wouldn't listen!
Bai Yajing sighed, oh no, she'd tried to change the subject but ended up on something even worse...
"Mom, don't worry too much. Take care of yourself. I'll go talk to Grandpa and Dad and check their pulses to readjust their medicinal diets."
Touched, Xiao's mother held her hand and said, "My daughter is the best! She's so sensible!"
However, you're pregnant yourself, so don't worry about them! Take care of yourself first.
"By the way, I heard from A-Che that he wanted to find someone to help out at home. Have you found someone?"
Bai Yajing shook her head. "No, your son has high standards. He wants someone who is reasonable, clean, has good character, and comes from a simple family. That's why he hasn't found anyone yet."
Mrs. Xiao clapped her hands. "We really need to be more careful. We're bringing people home; if we're not careful, we could be letting a wolf into the house!"
As he spoke, he whispered mysteriously in her ear, "You don't know, there's a family in our compound who hired a housekeeper, but it turns out they were aiming to be a wife!"
What a mess! It was chaotic and caused a lot of laughs. Yesterday, the daughters and fathers were so angry that they went back to their parents' home. The political commissar and the Women's Federation came to their door today!
The man got a severe scolding, and the woman was chased away.
Bai Yajing was amazed and deeply impressed.
"Tsk tsk tsk, there are all kinds of people in this world. I'm never complaining about Ah Che being so troublesome again..."
