"Third son's wife, hurry home with your mother, let's lie down and rest."
"You're pregnant now, you can't overexert yourself."
Xie Xiuying knew from Ruan Qiushui's recent vomiting that her daughter-in-law was having severe morning sickness.
If they don't take good care of themselves, both adults and children will suffer.
"Mom, I'm fine, don't be so worried."
Ruan Qiushui comforted Xie Xiuying, telling her that she wasn't really that fragile.
"No, listen to your mother. She has experience with this, having given birth to five children."
Xie Xiuying cherished Ruan Qiushui very much, so she helped Ruan Qiushui up and walked out.
"Oh well."
Ruan Qiushui had no choice but to tell Ren Quan and go home with Xie Xiuying.
"Third son's wife, go inside and lie down first. I'll go make you something to eat."
My daughter-in-law is pregnant, so she needs to eat more nutritious food.
When Xie Xiuying saw Ruan Qiushui enter the house, she quickly went back to her own home, killed the hen that laid eggs, and brought it over to stew a large pot of nourishing chicken soup for Ruan Qiushui.
"No, I have to get the third brother back right away."
My daughter-in-law is pregnant, so someone has to stay by her side.
Especially at night, they need someone to take care of them when they need to drink water, go to the toilet, or eat a late-night snack.
She's an old woman; she can't very well lie in the same bed with her daughter-in-law in the middle of the night, can she? That would be annoying.
I wonder if the third brother has come back yet.
A week ago, a group of human traffickers committed a crime across provinces. Gu Changfeng collaborated with the police in a neighboring province to set up a net and arrest the criminals, and hadn't been home for several days.
"Hello, is this the Municipal Public Security Bureau?"
Xie Xiuying picked up the phone and dialed the number Gu Changfeng had left.
Two weeks ago, Gu Changfeng assisted in solving a major case and has since been transferred to the Municipal Public Security Bureau as deputy director.
Fortunately, the third son's wife had a telephone installed at home, otherwise they would have had to go to the brigade office.
"Hello, this is the Municipal Public Security Bureau. How can I help you? Do you need any assistance?"
The operator inquired.
"I am Gu Changfeng's mother. Has Gu Changfeng returned from his mission? I have something urgent to discuss with him."
Xie Xiuying was a little anxious, and silently prayed that her son would return.
The third daughter-in-law is newly pregnant and needs care, so the third son can't be away from her.
"Please wait a moment, I'll have Deputy Director Gu answer the phone right away."
…
"Mom? What happened at home?"
Gu Changfeng rushed over and picked up the phone, his heart pounding with panic.
"Something terrible has happened at home. You should come back right away."
Xie Xiuying thought for a moment and swallowed back the words about her third daughter-in-law being pregnant.
It's best to let the daughter-in-law tell the story herself, such a joyous occasion.
"Mother, wait for me, I'll be right back."
Gu Changfeng was covered in cold sweat and turned to walk out.
"Changfeng, what's the matter that's so urgent?"
Seeing Gu Changfeng in a panic, the city bureau chief Feng Zheng grabbed him.
The cross-provincial arrest of human traffickers was a great success, and all the trafficked children and women were rescued. Gu Changfeng, the meritorious hero who was commended, should be happy.
"Director Feng, something has happened at home, I have to go back right away."
Gu Changfeng was anxious and couldn't care less about anything else.
"Old Li, hurry up and drive Deputy Director Gu back. Be careful on the road."
Understanding Gu Changfeng's concerns, Feng Zheng had his driver give Gu Changfeng a ride.
If we don't rely on this kid riding his bicycle, when will we ever get home?
"Thank you, Director Feng."
Gu Changfeng thanked him gratefully and quickly followed Old Li outside.
An hour later, a black sedan pulled up in front of the Gu family's house.
Gu Changfeng thanked the driver, Lao Li, pushed open the courtyard gate, and ran inside.
"Wife, Mother, where are you?"
As soon as Gu Changfeng entered the courtyard, he hurriedly called out.
"Woof woof woof".
Hei Zi was resting when Gu Changfeng woke him up instantly.
"What are you shouting for? Are you trying to see who has the loudest voice?"
Xie Xiuying came out of the kitchen with a spatula in her hand. If she hadn't been disgusted by Gu Changfeng's sweaty appearance and the dirty spatula, she would have loved to hit him on the head.
"Mom, didn't you say something happened at home? Did something happen to my wife?"
Gu Changfeng grabbed Xie Xiuying's hand and pressed her for an answer.
“Your daughter-in-law is lying inside. Go in and ask her yourself.”
Xie Xiuying pulled her son's hand away with disgust and pointed to the bedroom.
What a stupid son! If something really happened to his wife, would she still be calmly cooking here? Wouldn't she be in a real panic by now?
Where did your usual shrewdness in solving cases go?
"Wife, wife, what's wrong?"
Gu Changfeng strode towards the bedroom.
When he heard his mother say that his wife was lying in the house, he thought she was seriously injured and unable to move.
"young married woman?"
Gu Changfeng pushed open the door and saw Ruan Qiushui leaning against the headboard reading a book. There were no bandage marks on her body, and he breathed a sigh of relief.
"Why are you in such a hurry? You're covered in sweat."
Ruan Qiushui took a tissue from the bedside table and handed it to Gu Changfeng.
"Honey, what's wrong with you?"
Gu Changfeng sat on the edge of the bed, his heart pounding.
Didn't your mother tell you?
Ruan Qiushui thought Xie Xiuying had already told Gu Changfeng about her pregnancy, otherwise she wouldn't have rushed back so urgently.
“My mother only said that something had happened at home and told me to come back quickly.”
"So what exactly happened at home?"
Judging from the way my wife and mother look, it doesn't seem like anything serious has happened.
"There's something new inside my body."
Ruan Qiushui teased Gu Changfeng, finding it extremely amusing.
"Oh, what's extra? Is it serious? Where is it? Can it be cured?"
Gu Changfeng tensed up instantly, looked his wife up and down, and even reached out to touch her.
"here."
Ruan Qiushui guided Gu Changfeng's hand to her stomach.
"abdomen?"
"Honey, are you pregnant?"
Gu Changfeng was stunned for a moment, then instantly realized what was happening and looked at Ruan Qiushui uncertainly.
"I'm pregnant, I'm over a month along."
Ruan Qiushui nodded, watching Gu Changfeng's expression shift from surprise to ecstasy.
"My wife is pregnant, I'm having a baby."
Gu Changfeng carefully touched his wife's belly. He jumped up and spun around in the bedroom while shouting.
The fatigue from working on the case for many days vanished instantly, and now he was so energetic that he wanted to unleash a series of punches.
"What's all the noise about? What if you scare your daughter-in-law?"
"My daughter-in-law has vomited several times, and I don't even care about her."
Xie Xiuying was startled in the kitchen. She rushed over with a fire poker and gave Gu Changfeng a whack on the butt.
"Woof woof woof".
Even Hei Zi ran in, biting Gu Changfeng's trouser leg to make him stop.
"Honey, were you scared?"
Gu Changfeng rushed to the bedside, afraid that he would frighten his wife badly.
He lost his composure.
Seeing that Gu Changfeng had calmed down, Xie Xiuying thought of the soup simmering in the kitchen and quickly went out.
"I'm fine, but you'd be better off calming down."
Seeing Gu Changfeng's happy expression, Ruan Qiushui was also quite pleased.
The volume was too loud and noisy; she couldn't stand it.
