"Jiaojiao, don't go to work these next couple of days. You're about to give birth," Du Xiuyun said to Su Jiaojiao during dinner, keeping track of the time.
"It's okay, I'm at the hospital. If I go into labor, I can be admitted right here." Su Jiaojiao didn't care at all. "Aunt Bai has been at the hospital every day these past few days too."
Bai Huiqing was very attentive to Su Jiaojiao.
I take her pulse every day and keep an eye on her.
“With Lao Bai at the hospital and Jiao Jiao at work, it’s safer than being at home.” Fu Yifei also felt that his daughter-in-law’s words made sense.
Fu Jingchen nodded: "Indeed, Aunt Bai came here for Jiaojiao's sake. With her here, we can rest assured."
Du Xiuyun was immediately convinced and nodded: "Okay, I'll do as you say."
As they were talking, there was a knock on the door.
Gu Xingci limped in.
She was also carrying a bag of fruits and vegetables.
He is now a colleague of Du Xiuyun.
The two had a good relationship.
"Aunt Du, Uncle Fu, Commander Fu, Sister-in-law," Gu Xingci greeted them one by one. "You're eating? Oh, by the way, I went to the supply and marketing cooperative and managed to get some vegetables from the planting base. They all say these vegetables can cure diseases."
They're really hard to buy.
Su Jiaojiao and Fu Jingchen exchanged a glance. Hmm, it's actually spread.
Those vegetables were watered with Su Jiaojiao's spiritual spring water.
Therefore, it can strengthen the body and also cure diseases.
Gu Xingci thoughtfully bought it and delivered it to them.
Actually, you really don't need it.
But they meant well.
Du Xiuyun quickly reached out and took it: "Thank you, Xiaoxing. You haven't had dinner yet, have you? Wash your hands and sit down to eat with me."
Gu Xingci had eaten at the Fu family's house several times before, and he never refused.
He thought the Fu family's food was delicious.
He even wanted to recognize Du Xiuyun as his godmother.
I wasn't thick-skinned enough to speak up.
Gu Xingci was fair-skinned and had a refined demeanor. She blushed slightly, washed her hands, and sat down.
“Sister-in-law, my grandfather might be coming over in the next few days. If he makes things difficult for you, just tell me.” Gu Xingci looked at Su Jiaojiao and said very sincerely, “I really don’t want to heal this leg.”
He not only didn't want to heal his leg, but he also wanted to reject all potential partners because of his limp.
After he arrived here, many people wanted to introduce him to potential partners.
They were all politely declined.
His limp can also help him ward off a lot of unwanted suitors.
That's great, he doesn't want to get cured.
“Okay,” Su Jiaojiao naturally wouldn’t object.
She will respect everyone.
They won't make things difficult for Gu Xingci just because of pressure from Old Master Gu.
Du Xiuyun and Fu Yifei exchanged a glance; they truly couldn't understand these young people.
They could clearly be cured, but they refused to receive treatment.
Such a handsome young man, yet he'll be crippled for the rest of his life.
However, neither of them were the type to meddle in other people's business.
They didn't say anything.
"By the way, Commander Fu, the weather here is getting colder and colder. Your wife is so pregnant, are you going to give birth here?" Gu Xingci asked again.
He had suggested long ago that they return to Shanghai.
Even if Fu Jingchen hadn't achieved so many military exploits, Master Gu could still have sent them back.
There's no need to stay here and suffer.
Although this place is changing a lot, it's changing rapidly.
It cannot be compared to the Shanghai Stock Exchange.
"Hmm," Fu Jingchen glanced at Su Jiaojiao with a gentle expression, "The doctors have all been found."
Hearing this, Gu Xingci did not try to persuade him any further.
Moreover, with Su Jiaojiao's belly so big, it wouldn't be safe for her to move around so much.
We have to wait until the baby is born.
“When the children are a little older, we’ll go back to Shanghai,” Fu Jingchen added casually. “It’s a long journey, and it will be tiring for both adults and children.”
He couldn't bear to see his wife working too hard.
Gu Xingci nodded. He knew that the two had a very good relationship when he was on the island.
I don't think there's anything wrong with what he said.
He was just thinking about whether he should also be transferred to Shanghai when the time came.
He actually quite likes this place.
There is room for him to make a difference.
However, there's no rush to consider these things right now, since we'll have to wait until the child is a few years older.
His coming here is also a form of escape.
Everyone on the island knows about how he was almost humiliated by a man.
He couldn't pretend nothing had happened.
I just arrived here.
After arriving here, he found that the research institute here was more suitable for him.
Moreover, the conditions are very good.
With sufficient start-up funding, many experiments can be put on the agenda.
There's no need to worry about funding.
So, he feels a strong sense of belonging now.
I don't want to go anywhere.
Just as Yue Feng and Bai Huiqing finished preparing dinner, Liang Pei returned carrying two bags of groceries: "Mom, Brother Yue Feng."
She placed the vegetables in a corner of the kitchen and said, "I went to the village today and bought these vegetables. The villagers all said that these vegetables can cure diseases."
Her expression was very natural.
It was no different from usual.
"Yes, I've heard about that too. They're willing to sell to you?" Yue Feng didn't mention that the vegetables he bought had always been medicinal.
This is a secret that cannot be spoken aloud.
“A patient’s wife works at the planting base. It was a perk they gave me. I asked, and they sold it to me,” Liang Pei said naturally as she washed her hands and went to help.
Bai Huiqing didn't find any problems.
Although she felt that Liang Pei was inferior to Su Jiaojiao, she didn't show it.
The relationship between the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law has been quite good during this period.
Only Yue Feng glanced at Liang Pei a few more times.
After the meal, Liang Pei cleared the dishes, and Yue Feng put on an apron to wash them.
"Brother Yuefeng, there's something I need to tell you." Liang Pei approached Yuefeng and whispered as she saw her mother-in-law, Bai Huiqing, carrying things out of the yard.
