"What's there to be ashamed of? Pregnancy is perfectly normal." He Cuiping, with the experience of someone who's been there, carefully helped her out of the bathroom and even closed the kitchen door behind her, afraid that the smell would make her nauseous.
She glanced at Political Commissar Wang, who was sitting blankly on the sofa, and urged, "Go and watch the child do his homework."
Political Commissar Wang felt as if he had been granted a pardon, and quickly made way for his seat before disappearing into the room.
The small courtyard houses all have two bedrooms and a living room. The children live in one room, and he and He Cuiping live in the other.
He Cuiping quietly sat with Lin Yuxi on the sofa, whispering to her.
Before long, Gu Chen, like a gust of wind, borrowed a government car and sped Lin Yuxi to the hospital.
The dinner party was disrupted by this unexpected turn of events, but He Cuiping still thoughtfully left some cold dishes for the two of them.
Gu Chen escorted Lin Yuxi to the hospital, his nerves taut the entire way, like a bowstring.
From the moment he had his blood drawn to the moment he waited for the results, and then to the doctor's office, he felt as if he were walking on cotton, light as a feather.
When he held the pregnancy report in his hand, he asked the doctor many questions about precautions before finally returning to the family compound with a sense of relief.
"Are you hungry? I'll go back and cook you something to eat." Gu Chen quickly and carefully helped her out of the car.
The two lingered at the hospital for two hours, and by the time they returned to the family compound, it was already 9 p.m.
At first, Lin Yuxi felt nauseous at the smell of oil, but now she was genuinely hungry, so she nodded.
He Cuiping, who lived next door, had been listening intently to the sounds coming from this side. When she heard a noise, she quickly put on a coat, looked out the window, put the lunchbox on the table into a basket, and carried it over.
"Gu Chen, you haven't eaten dinner. These dishes are quite clean; you can heat them up and eat them." He Cuiping handed him the lunchbox and said gently, "It's getting chilly tonight, so you should go home soon."
"Okay, thank you, sister-in-law." Back inside, Lin Yuxi was feeling much better.
He Cuiping prepared several cold dishes for them. Although the chicken soup was inedible, she skillfully picked out the chicken meat, shredded it into thin strips, and then carefully mixed it with seasonings. She also specially made two golden cornbreads for them.
"I'll heat up a cup of milk for you. Lie in bed and don't move." Gu Chen gently took off her shoes and carried her to the bed as if she were a rare treasure, then carefully covered her with a blanket.
Then he went out, put the food in the pot, and warmed the milk first. He then carefully fed it to her, being careful not to burn her, and scooped it up to her mouth one spoonful at a time with a spoon.
Lin Yuxi's lips twitched. "I'm just pregnant. Don't treat me like a patient."
“Same here, same here. I’ll call Mom tomorrow and ask what I need to be careful about.” Gu Chen sat on the edge of the bed. The two of them had been living a carefree life for almost a month, and suddenly she got pregnant, which meant that he would be a father in the future.
"You drink first. The water in the pot is hot, and the food will be ready soon. I'll bring it in for you to eat."
Gu Chen raised his hand, placed the water glass in her palm, then got up and left for the kitchen. After a while, he brought the food back in. "The food is ready. It's not very oily. Try it. This steamed bun is too coarse. You can eat half of it. I'll go buy you some flour tomorrow."
After dinner, Gu Chen boiled water for her to bathe, and even prepared the bathwater beforehand, giving Lin Yuxi no chance to do anything.
"You're pregnant now, don't move, let me do it."
Gu Chen placed a small stool for her in the bathroom and even rolled up his sleeves to prepare to give her a bath. Lin Yuxi, unable to bear it any longer, shouted, "Get out!"
It was autumn, so it wasn't cold to take a shower. She finished in just a few minutes. Gu Chen had already hung a towel on the doorknob and tidied up the clothes on the bed.
