"Are you... afraid of having children?" Gu Tingzhi asked.
He recalled that as society developed faster and faster, people's ideas and values changed, and many girls paid more and more attention to their own happiness, and gradually the concept of having children became much weaker.
Coupled with their understanding of the costs of childbirth, some girls are afraid to have children.
Regardless, it was a life-threatening activity. Even decades later, with the advancement of medicine, the danger still exists, let alone now.
Gu Tingzhi tightened his grip on Meng Fuyan's hand. "It is true that childbirth is dangerous for women. If... you really don't want to have a child, then... then don't have one."
"Hmm?" Meng Fuyan was a little surprised. She might understand if she was told to have fewer children, just one or two, but not children at all?
Given Gu Tingzhi's past experiences, he should really want children, right?
"Don't you feel regretful?"
Gu Tingzhi lowered his eyes and said with some difficulty, "It's a pity! How could I not be a pity? But... I can't guarantee that everything will be perfect. I should be content to have you by my side in this life."
He naturally longed for a life surrounded by children and grandchildren, but the risks of childbirth were uncontrollable. If something happened to Yanyan during childbirth, leaving him with a child, he would regret it for the rest of his life, even if he had a child at that time.
Meng Fuyan sat up and hugged him. "No, you'll be fine. Just take care of yourself. There may be dangers, but there are many dangerous things in this world. Does that mean we shouldn't do any of them?"
"I really want children, two or three, as long as my husband is good enough. Women are willing to have children; if they are not, it's either because their husbands aren't good enough or they can't afford to raise them."
"You need to work with me to get your health in order so that the baby will be healthy. If the parents have bad genes, the fetus will also have problems in the mother's womb, and I will be the one who gets hurt."
"As long as we're both healthy, there shouldn't be any major problems. To be honest, there are dangers, but... well... it's not that scary, is it? Aren't all people on this earth born?"
Gu Tingzhi: "..."
Meng Fuyan looked at him and asked with a smile, "Do you know how to minimize the risks of childbirth for me?"
Gu Tingzhi was a little excited and hurriedly asked, "How do I do it?"
Meng Fuyan smiled, "You need to ensure your own health and regular schedule, and most importantly, you need to ensure my health and happiness. If you keep me happy every day and make me strong, the danger will naturally be reduced!"
She looked down at the muscles on his chest, reached out and touched them. "Your body is in great shape. Just keep it up. From now on, you have to find a way to make me happy every day. You have to coax me, you know?"
Gu Tingzhi nodded emphatically, "Yes! I won't make you unhappy."
Meng Fuyan laughed, "That's more like it! Then... shall we have a baby?"
On their wedding night, something had to be done, so Gu Tingzhi carried Meng Fuyan to the bedroom.
...
The next morning, when Meng Fuyan woke up, there was no one beside her. She looked at her watch and saw that it was already past eight o'clock. By this time, Gu Tingzhi had already gotten up.
He was off work today, so he definitely didn't go to work. Meng Fuyan got up, washed up, changed her clothes, and went downstairs, only to find him tending to the vegetable garden in the yard.
Meng Fuyan glanced at her and laughed, "What are you doing? Preparing to plant vegetables?"
"You finally get a break, why don't you sleep a little longer?"
When Gu Tingzhi saw her, he put down the hoe in his hand and replied, "The yard is so big, it needs to be decorated with something. Either vegetables or flowers, I'll tidy it up first, and you can decide what to plant later."
He washed his face, came back and held Meng Fuyan's hand, his eyes somewhat ambiguous, "Didn't you tell me to have a regular schedule? When it's time, I get up."
After saying that, he even had a look on his face that seemed to be asking for praise.
Meng Fuyan laughed and kissed him on the cheek. "Mmm, so good!"
"Is there anything to eat? I'm hungry!"
Gu Tingzhi went to the kitchen with her. "I've made breakfast. Let's eat!"
When I got to the kitchen, I saw meat buns, soy milk, a bowl of millet porridge, two boiled eggs, all kept warm in the pot, along with some pickled vegetables.
Meng Fuyan has a large appetite; she finished off three steamed buns, two eggs, a bowl of porridge, and a cup of soy milk.
Gu Tingzhi asked, "Are you full?"
Meng Fuyan glanced at him and said, "Make me a stewed chicken tomorrow morning. I want to drink chicken soup."
"Okay, I'll make it for you before I go to work tomorrow morning and leave it at home. You can drink it when you wake up."
Meng Fuyan rested her chin on her hands and said, "After you go to work, there will be no one to take care of me. Today you are off, so you can cook lunch and dinner."
Gu Tingzhi smiled, "Okay! What do you want to eat for lunch?"
"Ribs!"
What about at night?
"fish!"
