Gu Zhiyuan stayed in Yongning City for three days. Because he had a lot of work to do at his unit and an important meeting at the provincial government that he needed to attend, he took a car back to the provincial capital on the fourth day.
When Wang Meihua came, she originally planned to send her daughter to university, visit her son and daughter-in-law, and then go home with her husband.
But now that he knows Xia Enruo is pregnant and will give birth in four months, he insists on taking care of his daughter-in-law until she finishes her postpartum confinement.
Gu Shaoxuan and Xia Enruo had originally planned to wait for their mother to come and discuss the matter, but when they heard that their mother had already made arrangements, they followed her lead and said nothing more.
Before leaving, Gu Zhiyuan's only instruction was to Gu Shaoying, telling her to keep a low profile at school and not to be ostentatious.
To avoid arousing envy and causing unnecessary trouble for the family.
Because Yongning Normal University implements a full-staff dormitory management system, all students must move into the dormitory regardless of whether their home is in the city.
Because fashion design is a newly established major, students who apply for this major are all highly individualistic and come from well-off families.
Following her father's advice, Gu Shaoying became very cautious in her actions at school and in the dormitory.
Xia Enruo gave her a VIP card, a card exclusively for family members.
You can enjoy free services at any of the stores owned by your sister-in-law, as long as you swipe your VIP card when paying the bill.
Gu Shaoying had kept it for a long time but couldn't bear to use it because she usually went out with the other three girls in the dormitory, so she didn't want anyone to know.
His sister-in-law is the owner of Kelai Xiang Private Kitchen and Like Wanjia Supermarket, both located near the Normal University.
If her classmates knew she had such a powerful relative, the news would spread throughout the entire campus, making her a celebrity and inevitably leading to constant invitations to treat them to meals.
Time flies, and the heavy snow of the beginning of winter covered the entire streets of Yongning City.
The vast expanse of white stretched out like a scene from the American disaster movie "The Day After Tomorrow" from a past life.
A few days ago, Xia Enruo and Gu Shaoxuan noticed that the smell of the new house had dissipated, so they chose an auspicious day to move in.
The new home is spacious and bright, and even if 5 or 6 more people live there, it won't feel crowded.
Wang Meihua still makes sure to prepare delicious meals for Xia Enruo three times a day without fail, and she does a variety of dishes to keep things interesting.
She's gained weight from being pampered.
Gu Shaoxuan drove to the school to pick up Gu Shaoying, planning to have dumplings with her when they got back.
Xia Enruo stood on the third-floor balcony, looking at the snow scene outside.
The stone path that Gu Shaoxuan had just swept in the yard was immediately covered with another layer of white.
With her due date approaching next week, Xia Enruo has been able to clearly feel these past few days that the two little ones in her belly are starting to get restless.
He kicks himself every now and then, with great force, and sometimes he's actually quite strong.
She went downstairs, and Wang Meihua had already started making dumplings.
After washing her hands in the bathroom, Xia Enruo wanted to join her. She was really getting used to having her meals done for her every day.
Seeing her daughter-in-law preparing to help her, Wang Meihua quickly advised her against it:
"Mom can handle this. Go watch TV in the living room and wait for dinner."
"Mom, please let me do some work. I'm going crazy from boredom if I stay here any longer."
For nearly half a month, Gu Shaoxuan had been taking leave to be with Xia Enruo.
The company forbids her from going anymore, and tells Ge Qiuqin and Zhao Minghui to handle things first.
Let her focus on her pregnancy.
Xia Enruo, who was used to being busy, felt really uncomfortable when she suddenly had nothing to do.
She herself laughed at herself, saying that she was destined to toil and could never enjoy a moment of peace.
"Then you make the dumplings. I'll roll out the dumpling wrappers. Otherwise, too much movement can hurt your body."
Xia Enruo chuckled upon hearing this.
"Mom, rolling out dumpling wrappers only involves using your hands and arms, there's no need for such large movements, you're exaggerating."
I'm as big as a giant panda; you can't even touch me.
Wang Meihua also realized that what she said was a bit exaggerated and started laughing.
"You're like our family's giant panda now, we cherish you terribly."
You haven't seen how much Shaoxuan cherishes you; he's so afraid you'll bump into something, he even accompanies you when you wash your hands and face.
Xia Enru blushed at what was said.
However, Gu Shaoxuan was indeed being a little too cautious, so much so that even Gu Shaoxuan himself was initially unaccustomed to it.
Even when climbing stairs at home, he would put his arm around his waist from behind, afraid of slipping and falling.
Seeing Xia Enru blush, Wang Meihua continued:
"I know my son. He's never had a girlfriend and is used to a carefree life."
I remember when I was in high school, many female classmates wrote him letters and love letters.
He threw it all into the trash can without even taking it apart.
I found it in the end when I was cleaning.
This kid's always been a blockhead."
"Perhaps she's not good-looking enough to please Shao Xuan."
Xia Enruo replied while wrapping dumplings.
Wang Meihua shook her head.
"Don't laugh at me, but I actually opened and read the letters when I was cleaning. Some of them had photos inside."
She was really pretty; back then, she would definitely have been a campus beauty.
And the daughter of your dad's colleague, she's a real beauty in the compound.
She also relentlessly pursued Shao Xuan, but the boy had never experienced romantic feelings.
He was invited to see a movie, but he turned back halfway through, saying that the movie was all about romance and wasn't good.
The girl went home crying all by herself, and Shaoxuan even got a scolding from your father-in-law because of it.
"He probably likes watching romantic movies."
Xia Enruo remembered that when the two of them went to see "Romance on Lushan Mountain", Gu Shaoxuan was also watching intently.
