Chapter 157: Quantity

After dinner, Xiao's mother remembered the things she brought.

"Xiao Xu applied for that vegetable before, and Mom is still growing it. Today, I pickled a lot of dried radishes and brought two cans for you. If you want to eat something sour and spicy in the future, just eat some of that to relieve your gluttony."

Xiao Qingru joked: "I thought you wanted me to avoid certain foods."

"If you eat too much of this stuff, it will hurt your stomach. Pregnant women really shouldn't eat too much of it. But it's fine as long as you eat it in moderation."

Xu's mother also agreed, "The most important thing is to be able to eat. You are eating for two people now. You have to eat."

Xiao Qingru felt that her appetite was good and she did not vomit when eating. "I am in good health and nothing is wrong. Don't worry too much."

"Having a good appetite is a good thing, but you can't eat too much. If you raise your child too big, he will suffer when he is young."

Neither Xiao Qingru nor Xu Muzhou knew about this.

Especially Xu Muzhou, who thought that the more his wife ate, the better.

He thought to himself that he would have to pay more attention to his wife's appetite in the future.

Xiao Qingru sighed, it is really not easy to be pregnant.

I explained all the precautions to the young couple one by one, and then went to the guest room to rest.

Xu Muzhou was exercising in the yard, wearing a sweater knitted for him by Xiao Qingru.

At first, Xiao Qingru was worried that he would catch a cold, but later she found that he was in really good health and nothing happened to him, so she stopped caring about him.

Men have a hot temper. When Xu Muzhou finished his exercise, his body was already warm.

Go back to the room and sleep with Xiao Qingru.

Neither of them fell asleep, so they talked about other things.

"Tomorrow, if I recover, we will go back to the northwest. If not, you and your brother-in-law can go back together and bring the child with you so that Dad can see him."

Xiao Qingru hasn't been back for more than two years. In her heart, that is her root.

Although I didn't say it, I always wanted to go back and take a look.

Plus, my father is in the northwest, which makes me want to go back even more.

"Then you should exercise well, and we can try to go home together. There are so many people on the train, it's not convenient to bring the children with you, and more people can help each other."

Xu Muzhou thought about it and realized that it was true. Taking care of a child was not that easy, and it was even more inconvenient on the train.

If I don't follow, I will definitely feel uneasy.

Although there is still some time, Xu Muzhou already feels a sense of urgency.

He wanted to exercise again, but was stopped by Xiao Qingru.

"Recovery requires a combination of work and rest, otherwise it will be counterproductive."

"Then I'll sit down and stretch for a while."

"As you wish."

For the first two days, Xu Muzhou had no feeling below the waist and even had difficulty sitting steadily.

Only Xiao Qingru or Xu's parents could help him with leg massage.

He can handle it himself now, so he doesn't need help from others.

Xiao Qingru turned over and slept facing inward.

Because it was cold, I curled up in the quilt.

Xu Muzhou looked at her for a few times and said, "Wife, you should lie down."

"Why?"

"There's still a baby in my belly."

Having spent so much time together, Xiao Qingru could tell what Xu Muzhou was thinking just by looking at him.

She was probably afraid that her baby wouldn't be able to move freely in her belly.

Rolling his eyes at him, "Mind your own business, leave me alone."

Xu Muzhou really shut his mouth.

I silently thought to myself that pregnant women have unstable tempers and should not make people angry.

Because of the arrival of Xiao's mother, the Xu family became lively again.

The weather is cold and everyone is too lazy to go out.

Xiao's mother went to the Fang family once during her visit to Beijing, and gave them some local specialties from the northwest, and she never left the house again.

He has been taking care of Xiao Qingru at home.

A few days ago, Xiao Huaishu and Fang Yingqiu came to Xu's house for dinner, and Xiao's mother did not urge the children.

I just wish them all the best in their new work.

Fang Yingqiu had never thought about getting married before, but she changed her mind after meeting Xiao Huaishu.

Now is the time to struggle hard, and since her husband's family has no objection, she doesn't want to have children anymore.

Let’s talk about everything after we turn 30.

Xiao Huaishu loves Fang Yingqiu, and he also loves her ideals.

People live to realize their own value, not to pass on their family line.

To him, it doesn't matter whether he has children or not.

Anyway, Qingru and Xu Muzhou already have a child, and the old man's wish to have a grandson has come true, so there should be nothing to say.

After having dinner at Xu's house, the couple boarded the train back to the northwest that night.

Although Xiao's mother was in Beijing, she was still thinking about her husband and called home every day.

Xiao Qingru said, "I think my dad has no objection to you coming over here to spend the night?"

"What can he say? Your dad has been thinking about you and wants you to come home tomorrow, but now you're gone suddenly, so we can only postpone it."

"Xu Muzhou and I have discussed it. If there are no unexpected circumstances, we can go back."

"We'll talk about it when the time comes. There's no rush."

On the New Year's Eve, the elders in the family got up in the middle of the night and said they were going to buy groceries.

Xiao's mother joined in the fun, and Xiao Qingru also wanted to go. But in the end, she thought of her pregnant belly and had to give up the idea.

Once the elders left, only Xiao Qingru and Xu Muzhou were left at home.

I looked at the time and it was just past three in the morning.

Xu Muzhou was afraid that Xiao Qingru would catch a cold, so he held her in his arms and did not allow her to move.

"Wife, sleep a little longer."

"I'm full and don't want to sleep anymore."

I went to bed before 8 o'clock the previous night, and now I am not sleepy at all.

Xu Muzhou put his big hand under Xiao Qingru's clothes and asked, "Do you want to do something else?"

Xiao Qingru kicked him lightly under the quilt, "Does your skin itch?"

"The cub is already more than three months old."

"That won't work either."

Xiao Qingru was very fond of the baby in her belly and nudged Xu Muzhou, "Behave yourself, or we will sleep in separate beds in the future."

Before the child was born, his position had already been seriously threatened.

Xu Muzhou said in a resentful tone, "Wife, who is more important, me or the child?"

"Boring."

Xiao Qingru turned over and faced the man, refusing to answer the question.

Xu Muzhou stuck to it.

"Wife, I am more important, right?"

Xiao Qingru smiled silently, "No, the child is more important."

"Tsk, you really don't cherish it after you get it. You have taken advantage of me."

Xiao Qingru turned around and looked at him, "Are you not sure?"

Realizing that his words were ambiguous, Xu Muzhou seemed to kiss Xiao Qingru on the corner of her mouth.

"You've got me in your hands for a long time, you know."

Xiao Qingru laughed out loud, "Don't be jealous of the child, you are you and the child is the child."

"As long as you don't focus on the child, I won't be jealous."

Xiao Qingru glared at him and said, "You will definitely be the kind of father who cheats his children in the future."

Xu Muzhou thought about it and felt that it was a good idea to trick the kid.

Raise it a little rough so that it will become strong when it grows up.

I dare not tell this to my wife, I can only think about it silently in my heart.

The two talked for a while, and then Xu Muzhou got up.

Xiao Qingru also remembered that Xu Muzhou would not give in.

"It's still early. I'll go exercise for an hour and you can get up after that."

Xiao Qingru was worried, "There's no one at home, I have to look after you."

"No, I'll just walk in the yard and don't do anything else."

Xiao Qingru lay back down, "Then be careful and wash up after you finish your workout."

"good."

Although Xu Muzhou can walk now, he still cannot get rid of his walker.

He needs someone to fetch water for washing.

Although he wanted to be able to take care of himself as soon as possible, he knew that he had to do everything in moderation, otherwise he would cause trouble for his family.
