Chapter 156 A sudden surprise
About half an hour later, the doorbell rang again.
Su Hong and her daughter went to open the door together. Standing outside the door were Su Nian's husband Guo Qing and mother-in-law Zhang Minghua. Both of them were holding full of things in their hands.
"Dad, Mom, you're here. Please come in." Su Nian stepped aside to let her in-laws in.
"Relatives, welcome, welcome!" Su Hong said enthusiastically.
"Si Yan is not at home, and Nian Nian lives here. It's really hard for you two relatives!" Zhang Minghua said politely.
"It's not hard, it's not hard at all. You are busy with work, so it's our responsibility to take care of the children." Su Hong took the things in their hands with a smile. There were several heavy boxes. In addition to the beautifully packaged bird's nest gift boxes, there were also several gift-packaged nourishing Chinese medicinal herbs of high quality, as well as some fresh fruits.
"Niannian, go sit down and stop working." Zhang Minghua quickly took his daughter-in-law's hand and looked her over with concern. Seeing that her complexion was rosy, he felt relieved.
Chen Ran also came over from the living room upon hearing the sound and greeted them politely. The parents of both sides exchanged greetings warmly.
"Father-in-law, mother-in-law, you are here so come, why do you bring so many things? You are so polite!" Chen Ran said hurriedly, looking at the pile of supplements on the ground.
"Of course I should," Si Guoqing said with a warm smile, "Nian Nian is now a key protected person and needs nutritional supplements. These herbs were specially selected by Minghua. They are mild and nourishing, so they will be used to replenish your body."
Zhang Minghua also smiled and said, "Yes, in-laws, you have worked hard to take care of Nian Nian. These are our little gifts."
The adults sat on the sofa in the living room drinking tea and chatting, and the topic naturally revolved around Su Nian and the unborn baby.
As a senior Chinese medicine practitioner, Zhang Minghua carefully inquired about Su Nian's recent prenatal checkups and physical feelings, and gave her a lot of professional advice and comfort.
After chatting for a while, Su Nian suddenly remembered something and said to Zhang Minghua, "Mom, I want to trouble you with something."
"What's the matter? Why are you being so polite to mom? Just say it directly." Zhang Minghua put down the teacup.
"One of my colleagues, Liu Zhihao, has heard that our Chinese medicine clinic is very famous. He wants to take his parents to Jishitang tomorrow morning for some health care. Is that convenient for you? I think all the appointments are full, right?"
Zhang Minghua agreed without hesitation. "It's convenient. What's the inconvenience? I'll be seeing patients tomorrow morning. Tell him to bring his parents over directly. Just tell them your name at the information desk and I'll greet them and reserve their number."
"That's great! Thank you, Mom!" Su Nian didn't expect her mother-in-law to be so straightforward. "I'll tell him right away. He's so filial. He came back to work specifically because he cared about his parents' health."
"A filial child is always right." Zhang Minghua nodded and added, "Jishidang starts accepting patients at 9 o'clock, so just ask them to arrive a little earlier."
Su Nian immediately took out her cell phone and sent a message to Liu Zhihao, informing him of the news.
The other party replied almost immediately, with a series of thanks and an assurance that he would be there on time tomorrow.
Now that the matter was settled, Su Nian felt a lot more relieved.
The parents-in-law sat for a while longer, carefully instructing Su Nian on various precautions, especially emphasizing that she must attend postnatal checkups on time and to call her anytime if she felt unwell. Then they stood up to say goodbye, politely declining Su Hong's invitation to stay for dinner, and told Su Nian to rest well and come visit her again when she had time.
Su Nian touched her belly and thought: My baby, you are the darling of the group before you are even born. Is it stressful?
After a day off on Saturday, Su Nian took some English test at home on Sunday and sorted out her ideas for tomorrow's work.
Chen Ran originally wanted to hire a professional English tutor for her daughter.
That day he specially asked Liu Zhihao to test his daughter. Liu Zhihao's opinion was: Su Nian has no problem with spoken English. After all, she has passed the CET-6 exam. If she masters more professional vocabulary in her daily work, she will have no problem studying abroad.
That's good, this gives me some idea.
Chen Ran deliberately gave up his study room for his daughter to study, and followed Su Hong into the home workshop to watch his wife make clothes.
Chen Ran really doted on his wife to the extreme. Seeing that Su Hong was not able to go to the tailor shop on time every day, he specially built a workshop at home and said that his daughter could use it too.
Su Hong particularly likes this workshop. The equipment is all up-to-date, and compared to the shop's old equipment, it saves a lot of effort. When Afen came to see it that day, she was also envious.
For clothes that old customers specifically ask Su Hong to make, she usually makes them at home.
In her spare time, she makes clothes for Chen Ran, her daughter, and her unborn grandson.
On Monday, a working day, Chen Ran and his daughter Su Nian had breakfast at home and then went to work together.
Chen Ran looked at his daughter's energetic appearance and said with a smile, "Does this count as 'father and daughter fighting together'?"
"Like!" Su Nian didn't spoil the fun and answered with a smile.
Monday's work was busy and orderly. As soon as Su Nian arrived at his workstation, he immersed himself in the design drawings. His fingertips slid smoothly across the digital tablet, and he was completely immersed in it.
It was a little after three in the afternoon, when it was easy to feel sleepy, when I saw a figure walking towards me - who else could it be but Si Yan!
He was carrying two large paper bags with the logo of a famous dessert shop printed on them, and behind him was a helper who he had found from somewhere, holding a box full of coffee.
Su Nian looked at him and just laughed, forgetting to react.
——Is this child stupid?
Li Yue, who was smart enough to see this, quickly walked over and took the bag from him. "Professor Si, are you here to see Nian Nian?"
"Well, please share some with everyone." Si Yan smiled at Li Yue.
Li Yue said loudly, "Su Nian's family is treating everyone to afternoon tea! Comrades, put down your bricks~"
A small cheer and voices of gratitude instantly rang out in the studio: "Thank you Su Nian's family!" "Su Nian is so happy!"
"Good afternoon, everyone. Thank you for your hard work." Si Yan said with a smile. His voice was gentle but enough to attract everyone's attention.
Then, his gaze returned from the crowd to Su Nian, who was still a little stunned, with a gentle smile in his eyes.
Only then did Su Nian react, her face flushed. Under the kind gazes of her colleagues, she lowered her voice and asked, "Why did you come back early? Didn't you say you would be back tomorrow?"
"It ended half a day early, so I changed to the earliest flight back." Si Yan looked at her with a natural tone.
At this time, Liu Zhihao also came out of his office after hearing the noise. Seeing Si Yan, he immediately came forward with a smile and said, "Mr. Si? Hello, hello, I'm Liu Zhihao. I've heard a lot about you!"
