Chapter 3238 Happy Event
Tang He found a stool in the room and sat down. "Tell me, how can I help you?"
Zhou Man then mentioned the matter of opening a girls' school in the Imperial College. She smiled and said, "You don't need Old Tang to do anything. When someone brings up this matter again in the future, Old Tang can just lean towards us opening a girls' school."
Tang He thought about it and nodded, "I will tell my father, but I can't guarantee that he will agree."
Zhou Man originally wanted to change the subject, so he didn't force it. He waved his hand and said generously, "Just do your best, Brother Tang."
Zhou Man poured out the pounded medicine powder and saw that he was still sitting there, so he looked up at him and asked, "Anything else?"
"Oh, I'll buy you some medicine." Tang He took off the purse from his waist and turned it in front of her eyes. He asked, "This is your sister-in-law's first time at the seaside. I'm worried she won't be able to adapt to the climate and food here. What medicine do you need?"
"Stomach-strengthening pills?" Zhou Man pondered for a moment before saying, "Sister-in-law... you've been here for so long, you shouldn't be suffering from any issues with the local climate, right?"
"Buy some, buy some," Tang He said, "Your sister-in-law is rich."
He spoke as if the money was not his.
Zhou Man covered the powder, stood up and walked to the medicine shelf to prepare medicine for him. In addition to the stomach-strengthening pills, she also prepared some common medicines for injuries and colds and coughs.
Tang He took a lot of medicine bottles back with him and handed them all to Mrs. Tang and left them alone.
In the evening, Bai Shan and Zhou Man invited them to have dinner together as a farewell.
Tang He couldn't drink alcohol yet, and Bai Shan didn't like tea at night, so he poured him a bowl of soup and said, "Take soup instead of wine. Take care, Brother Tang."
Tang He picked up the bowl silently and drank the soup in one gulp.
Zhou Man remembered something, "Oh, I have something for you."
She turned her head to look at the cake.
Xibing turned and went out, quickly returning with a medicine bottle. Zhou Man handed it to Tang He, "I just made this two days ago and kept it in the house. I almost forgot to give it to you."
Tang He took it and asked, "What is this?"
"This is the antidote for the poison you were poisoned with," Zhou Man said with a smile. "It's a special antidote pill. I've studied it. It should be a poison made from two types of centipede venom and poisonous grass. I don't know if there are still assassins in Laizhou. This poison is very rare. If they want to attack again, it's unlikely that they will change the poison. Take it with you, it may be useful."
This is a little different from the detoxification soup Zhou Man prescribed before. It is specially designed to deal with this kind of poison. She made the antidote after analyzing the poison in the teaching room. It detoxifies quickly and has few side effects.
Tang He put it away and gave her a thumbs up, "You are awesome."
Mrs. Tang also gratefully served Zhou Man a bowl of soup, "Come, Sister Xue will offer you... a bowl."
Zhou Man had just finished a bowl, and now drinking...
She could only hold it up and clink it with hers. When she lowered her head to drink, a faint smell of egg entered her nose. She couldn't help but turned her head and retched.
Bai Shan hurriedly supported her and took the bowl from her hand, "What's wrong?"
Zhou Man shook his hand and said, "It's okay. My sense of smell has become much more sensitive recently, so I smelled the fishy smell of eggs."
Bai Shan was puzzled, "Can the sense of smell become more sensitive?"
Mrs. Tang seemed to be thinking about something. "You are..."
Zhou Man smiled at her, and Mrs. Tang understood that it must be because they still had a short time to live and it was not easy to tell others.
Bai Shan looked at Zhou Man, then at Mrs. Tang, and finally turned his head stiffly back to look at Zhou Man.
Zhou Man noticed that his hand holding her was stiff, so she reached out and patted his hand, saying to them, "It's a bit stuffy in the room, I'm going out for some fresh air."
Bai Shan immediately said, "I'm done eating too. Take your time, my fellow students."
Tang He watched the two hosts leave the table, then turned to ask Mrs. Tang, "Is Zhou Man pregnant?"
Mrs. Tang said, "That's right. She's a doctor, she won't make a mistake."
Bai Shan supported Zhou Man, but Zhou Man slapped his hand away and held it instead, "It's not the first time."
Bai Shan asked, "When did this happen? Why didn't you tell me?"
"I just discovered it today too," Zhou Man said. "I calculated the days, and it should be around the 25th day."
When I walked to the courtyard where Zheng and Xiao Qian lived, I saw them coaxing little Bai Jingxing to eat less.
I don’t know if it’s because she inherited it from her parents or because Zhou Man is a doctor, but Bai Jingxing has had a good appetite since she was a child. In order to prevent her from eating and drinking too much and damaging her spleen and stomach, Zhou Man has always asked her family to pay attention to her diet.
But even so, she could always get something to eat from her grandmother and aunt.
When he saw his parents coming, little Bai Jingxing bit the snack in his hand. Once he bit it, he couldn't throw it away, otherwise it would be wasted.
Zhou Man pinched her face and said, "You need to rinse your mouth later. It's almost dark now and you're still eating dessert. Be careful not to damage your teeth."
Bai Shan also touched his daughter's face and glanced at Zhou Man, but still did not tell her mother that she was pregnant. The time was still short, so she decided to wait for a while before telling her.
However, Bai Shanxian couldn't help but quietly ask his daughter, "Do you want a brother or sister?"
Little Bai Jingxing was very smart and immediately asked, "Is Mom going to give birth to a younger brother or sister?"
Bai Shan tapped her little nose and said, "How come you are so smart? Do you want a brother or a sister?"
Little Bai Jingxing weighed in, "I've never had a younger sister to play with. Is she more fun than a younger brother?"
Although she didn't have a younger brother, Bai Ruoyu was a boy and had played with her second cousin's nephew.
Bai Jingxing tilted his head back and asked, "What does my sister look like?"
Bai Shan looked at her and smiled, "Same as you."
Bai Jingxing said with bright eyes: "I want it."
Bai Shan couldn't help but touch her furry little head and laughed.
Children don't have secrets. Less than two hours after Bai Shan talked to his daughter, Zheng and Xiao Qian both knew that Zhou Man was going to give her a little brother or sister.
However, Zheng and Xiao Qian pretended not to know after they found out, but they couldn't hide their excitement in their hearts, and they worked together to make various delicious foods for Zhou Man.
Bai Shan and Bai Jingxing, father and daughter, also got to eat a lot of delicious food, which made Bai Jingxing very happy. He made a wish: "I hope my mother will be pregnant with a younger brother or sister every day."
Zhou Man: ...
She took the bowl of snacks in front of her and said, "Come, let's have a long talk as mother and daughter. Although I like children like you very much, it doesn't mean that I have to give birth to many children and raise you all."
Zhou Man pointed at the snacks in the bowl and said, "Xue Mei Niang, it uses glutinous rice flour, sugar, and milk. The cost of one piece... I can't calculate it, but it's definitely not cheap. You eat two by yourself, and with your two younger brothers and sisters, you'll have to eat six at a time. If you add a few more, how much does the snacks alone cost every day?"
Little Bai Jingxing was stunned when he heard this.
Bai Shan, who was standing by, said hurriedly, "I can still afford the snacks..."
