This unexpected good news filled her with joy, as if the whole world had become colorful.
Before she could even process what was happening, her body reacted instinctively, creating some distance between herself and Xie Yan.
Xie Yan was immersed in the joy of becoming a father when he was completely stunned by Yu Yuehui's sudden action.
His smile froze on his face as he looked at Yu Yuehui, his eyes filled with doubt and confusion.
"······"
He really couldn't understand why his wife, who had just been immersed in joy, suddenly seemed like a different person, so distant from him. Had he said something wrong and made her angry?
Yu Yuehui secretly looked up and saw Xie Yan's confused look. Her face flushed instantly, and a wave of guilt and shyness welled up in her heart.
She quickly lowered her head, her gaze darting away, and stammered in a voice barely audible, "Isn't this... I'm pregnant? My mother said it's best for pregnant women to live separately."
Upon hearing this, Xie Yan was stunned for a moment, then realized what was happening and couldn't help but laugh and cry at the same time.
His eyes widened in disbelief. "!!!!"
He looked at Yu Yuehui helplessly, reached out and gently pinched her nose, and said, "Wife, I'm not that inappropriate. Don't you know me?"
"Besides, I study medical books every day. Do you think I did it for nothing? How could I not know these basic things about pregnancy?"
As he spoke, he reached out and grabbed Yu Yuehui, who was still trying to back away. He gently pulled her into his arms and said with a hint of teasing, "That's enough, wife. If you keep backing away, you'll be crawling into a crack in the wall. How am I supposed to find you then?"
Yu Yuehui smiled sheepishly, a hint of embarrassment in her laughter: "Hehehe! I was just scared by my mother!"
"She was very serious when she said it, and I kept it in mind."
Xie Yan looked helplessly at Yu Yuehui, who was making up stories. He knew that she must have overheard some snippets of conversation somewhere, and she hadn't heard them all or understood them wrong.
Yu Yue felt uneasy under Xie Yan's gaze and couldn't keep up the lie any longer. So she simply resorted to shamelessness, crossing her arms over her chest and muttering, "Anyway, I've heard that it's best for couples to live separately after getting pregnant."
Xie Yan was both annoyed and amused. Looking at the mouth that was still babbling, he reached out and covered it. Meeting Yu Yuehui's terrified eyes, he smiled and said, "Alright, listen to me. I know more about this, so I'm the more authoritative one."
"You, stop overthinking."
For the next hour, Xie Yan launched into a lengthy explanation of the theoretical knowledge behind "why pregnant couples sleep in separate rooms".
He turned the oil lamp up a little brighter, and the soft light illuminated their faces.
As he spoke, he gestured with his hands, explaining in detail to Yu Yuehui the various precautions during pregnancy, from the physiological changes of pregnant women, such as changes in hormone levels and discomfort reactions in various parts of the body, to psychological adjustments, how to deal with anxiety and mood swings during pregnancy, he spoke eloquently.
Moonlight streamed through the window, spilling onto the kang (a heated brick bed), where it mingled with the light of the oil lamp, illuminating the figures of the two people leaning against each other, creating a tranquil and warm scene.
After listening to Xie Yan's explanation, Yu Yuehui's face flushed slightly, like a ripe apple.
She then realized that she had completely misunderstood, and felt guilty, too embarrassed to even look up at Xie Yan.
But then she thought about the possibility of nighttime cramps or her large belly pressing on her so she couldn't sleep, and she couldn't help but feel worried, her brows furrowing slightly.
Xie Yan seemed to see through her thoughts. He gently smoothed her brow, took her hand, placed it in his own palm, and gently stroked it, comforting her, "Don't worry, let's make preparations early before you show any signs of pregnancy."
"I'll go to the market tomorrow and get some of the softest, fluffiest cotton. You can make a long strip, about waist-length, like a pillow."
"By the way, we must use good quality fabric, preferably soft cotton. Never mind, I'll make another trip tomorrow to get some high-quality, soft, and skin-friendly fabric."
"Let's make it together once we have everything, okay?"
Yu Yue asked, puzzled, "Why are you making this?"
Xie Yan said with a smile, "Won't it be inconvenient for you to sleep when your belly gets big? This is for you to use to cushion your belly!"
Yu Yuehui nodded thoughtfully.
Looking up at the banquet in front of me, which was full of consideration for me, I felt deeply moved and relied on it.
On this peaceful night, the impending arrival of a new life illuminated their lives like a warm lamp, lighting up every step of the future.
The moonlight, like water, gently bathed them, as if offering the family the best wishes for a new life to arrive, hoping for their happy and fulfilling life and the baby's healthy growth.
Xie Yan hadn't been to the black market for a long time. After he dressed up and put on a new vest, he found Xiao Wu.
Although Xiao Wu didn't recognize Xie Yan after he was disguised, he knew this was his chance to make money!
It's okay if we don't know each other yet, we'll get to know each other after we get to know each other more often!
With that in mind, Xiao Wu was exceptionally enthusiastic towards Xie Yan.
When Xiao Wu learned that Xie Yan wanted to buy cotton, a smile immediately appeared on his face. He said, "Yes, but you know the price. It's definitely more expensive than elsewhere. It costs three yuan per jin!"
Upon hearing the price, Xie Yan couldn't help but sigh inwardly.
This is three times more expensive than outside, but he really had no choice.
Although it was cheaper outside, the key problem was that he didn't have cotton coupons!
Xie Yan had no choice but to nod and say, "I want ten catties!"
Xie Yan is a rather lazy person. He doesn't want to keep running to the black market. He buys as much as he can, and the extras can be stored in his space to make cotton-padded clothes for his children in the future.
Upon hearing the purchase quantity, Xiao Wu was overjoyed.
He likes these kinds of rich, foolish customers.
He then enthusiastically led Xie Yan towards his home, excitedly introducing the cotton as they walked: "You've come at the perfect time! This cotton, we just got it, it's all fresh cotton picked last year, and it was even transported from the border region!"
"Its color is snow-white, snow-white, and its softness to the touch is unlike that of ordinary cotton."
Xie Yan wore a professional, fake smile and said cooperatively, "Oh! Really? That's wonderful."
"I knew you were the most honest person, Xiao Wu. My cousin specifically asked me to come find you, and I was right!"
Xiao Wu seized upon the key information, "Cousin!"
It was introduced by an acquaintance!
oops!
Xiao Wu is getting better too!
It turns out someone I know introduced me!
