Bi Qiaoan didn't stop her, after all, she was only wearing a thin jacket, and it wouldn't be good if she caught a cold.
But when she saw the thick clothes that Shen Yanming had brought, Bi Qiaoan's eyes twitched involuntarily.
I never expected her husband to be so ruthless. He just gave her a mink coat. Is this what you'd wear in the dead of winter?
But what time is it now? It's late autumn!
But since she had already brought it, Bi Qiaoan didn't say anything. She wrapped the purple mink coat around her body and instantly felt so warm.
Moreover, the one Shen Yanming gave her was a long cloak that could cover her legs, so she really didn't feel cold at all.
When she arrived at work, Bi Qiaoan entered the office in a strange outfit: sneakers, black jeans, a white hoodie, and a purple mink coat.
Because Shen Yanming went back to get some clothes, the two of them entered the office right on time.
Yu Shui, who was originally recounting her experiences of living in cramped quarters for the past few months with great enthusiasm, choked on her own saliva the moment she saw Bi Qiaoan's outrageous outfit.
"Cough cough cough, Qiao An, who dressed you up like that? It's way too over-the-top!"
Bi Qiaoan raised an eyebrow. "My husband, isn't he tasteful!"
Yu Shui awkwardly wiped the water stains from the corner of her mouth. "Yes, their aesthetic sense is far superior to ours. It's only a few months, why are they wearing clothes from the dead of winter?"
"It's cold, don't you know?"
"I know, it's just not that cold yet. Look, your husband is only wearing a wool coat."
At this moment, Shen Yanming put the bag he was holding on the desk, looked at Yu Shui and said, "My wife is pregnant, unlike me."
Shen Yanming's words stunned everyone, and they all congratulated the two of them.
"I'm pregnant! You're amazing, Xiao Shen!"
"Congratulations, congratulations, this is now perfect."
"Qiao An, how many months pregnant are you? Judging from your figure, you must have just gotten pregnant."
Bi Qiaoan blushed with embarrassment at everyone's comments, but Shen Yanming was quite smug.
"That's right, how could things not turn out well after a few months of vacation?"
"It's been less than two months, so I shouldn't have revealed this, but my wife is too impulsive, and I'm afraid I can't keep an eye on her. So I'm asking for your help to make sure she doesn't do anything dangerous."
"Xiao Shen, we can't just work for free. How about you bribe us?"
"Yes, we heard this good news first thing this morning. Do you have any wedding candy to share in our joy?"
Shen Yanming smiled and said, "Yes, we have prepared some for everyone, but we don't know if they will suit your taste."
As he spoke, Shen Yanming took out the contents of the paper bag. "It's nothing valuable, just the milk curds that Qiao An made before. If you don't mind, please share them?"
"No problem, no problem!" Yu Shui smiled and took a bag of milk curds. "I haven't been able to eat anything at home lately, my mouth is so bland."
As he spoke, Yu Shui took a piece of milk curd from the bag and put it in his mouth. But the moment his tongue touched the curd, he grimaced and almost spat it out. "Why is it so sour?"
Shen Yanming shook his head and chuckled, "Don't you know that milk curds get more sour the longer they sit? But they are very filling."
"Really?" Qin Yiren also came over, took a bag of milk curds, and popped one into her mouth after returning to her seat.
The moment her tongue touched it, Qin Yiren exclaimed, "Oh my, it's so sour! Shen Yanming, did you make this especially for your wife? Is she pregnant with a son?"
"Haha, it's best not to say, you'll know when the baby is born," Shen Yanming laughed, trying to smooth things over.
Although Grandpa Lin vaguely said it was a son, he still felt it was more reliable to wait until the child was born before making a decision.
What if the old man is wrong, or he lies to me, or what if Qiao An is carrying twins? I'm insisting now that it's a son, and then I'm proven wrong.
Right? It's a small matter if I lose face, but I'm afraid people will think that this isn't my precious baby.
Afterwards, other colleagues in the office also came to Shen Yanming's place to take a bag of milk curds, but some who didn't like sour food grabbed a handful of wedding candy instead.
Shen Yanming brought a lot of things, but there were so many people in the office that they were all gone in just a few minutes.
After the table was cleared, Shen Yanming took the rag from the table to the bathroom to wash it, and then wiped his and Bi Qiaoan's seats clean.
He hadn't been here for several months, and a thick layer of dust had settled on his desk. He had to go to the bathroom several times to clean every nook and cranny.
Fortunately, Yu Shui arrived early today and immediately mopped the office floor. Otherwise, it would have been a hassle to clean up the mess once everyone else arrived.
Today was the first day back at work. There wasn't much work to do, and since we hadn't seen each other for a long time, we shared our holiday experiences.
Yu Shui raised his hands and said to everyone, "I really understand how hard farm work is. Look at the calluses on my hands. I'm the only one who harvested and planted all the land in our family."
"Didn't your family help?"
“They wanted to help, but I didn’t dare. My parents are in poor health. What if something happens to them? I’m young, so I can take my time and work hard. I can always do a good job if I spend more time.”
Yu Shui's words were praised by everyone, but Shi Leyong said, "You only contracted the work of three acres of land by yourself. Do you know how much farm work Old Chen and I did?"
Seeing everyone's curiosity, Shi Leyong stopped keeping them in suspense and said, "After finishing the farm work at home, I still had to go to my parents' and mother-in-law's houses to do chores. You have no idea how exhausted I was during that time."
Chen Qing nodded, "In the city, each person has about one mu of land, but it's different in the village."
Under previous policies, they were allocated more land, and because the harvest is bad now, many people have reclaimed wasteland to produce more grain, but planting and harvesting are very laborious.
"Then you two do the work, and you'll get a share of the profits, right?"
Chen Qing rolled his eyes. "What are you thinking? None of us are only children. Do you think those old folks don't think about their other sons and daughters? They either won't give you anything, or if they do, it won't be much."
"Then why did you go to help?" Yu Shui asked, puzzled.
Wei Qin said with a smile, "It's just like you being filial to your parents, they also have to be filial to their parents-in-law, otherwise their wives will feel very heartbroken."
Yu Shui nodded, "Marriage is such a hassle, it's better to be single. Or maybe I should find someone like Yanming or Qiao An!"
Shen Yanming... Bi Qiaoan... I feel offended...
Seeing the two staring intently at her, their eyes practically wanting to devour her alive, Yu Shui finally realized what was happening and stammered, "Well, that's not what I meant. I just... I just want to find someone with a simple family background in the future."
