Chapter 59 You can’t cross your legs when you are pregnant.
Su Li was afraid that Zhou Jinbai would not be able to adapt on his first day at her house, so she got up early. Otherwise, he would usually sleep until his grandmother called him to eat, and then he would be forced to get up at work. She didn't have a good night's sleep during the filming period.
Only when she is resting can she sleep without restraint.
Seeing that her grandparents went out for a walk, Su Li wanted to go back to sleep for a while. She said that she would wash clothes at noon after waking up. The clothes had been piled up for the past two days, and the washing machine at home was broken and she had not called a repairman to fix it yet.
Zhou Jinbai was worried about the two elderly people and asked her if it would be okay if she just ignored them.
Su Li assured him, "They've both always been strong. Even though they're in their seventies, they're still doing well. My grandfather often goes out to watch others play chess, and my grandmother follows him around out of concern. But they're actually fine."
Zhou Jinbai felt relieved after hearing her say this. He pulled her upstairs and let her continue sleeping. He would call her at noon.
Su Li asked him what he was doing. He pushed Su Li onto the bed and covered her with the quilt. "I'm going to take a look around."
Su Li warned him, "Don't run around. If anything happens to you, it'll be all over the news, philanthropist."
Zhou Jinbai tapped her nose and said, "Okay, big star."
Su Li smiled at him, her eyes curved into crescents, and the more Zhou Jinbai looked at her, the more adorable she seemed.
After sitting on the edge of the bed and coaxing her to sleep, he looked for Su Li's unwashed clothes and went to the bathroom to wash them by hand. There were clothes hanging wires and clothes racks on the balcony, so he hung them all up.
After cleaning the room, I went to see the broken washing machine in my grandma's house, which was in the bathroom on the first floor.
After he opened it and tried it, he felt that something was blocking the water pipe, so he took the washing machine apart again, and sure enough, it was a few socks blocking the water outlet.
After taking it, I installed it, opened it and tried it, and it works.
Small places have their own advantages. Early in the morning, there are vendors selling various snacks outside, and their voices are loud and long, as if you have returned to the old days.
The table where grandpa and grandma had finished drinking their tea was still left in the yard, and the electric stove was still plugged into the extension cord. He had nothing to do anyway, so he cleaned up these things and washed the teacups. Not knowing where to put them, he just put them under the coffee table in the living room on the first floor.
It was still early, so he went out for a walk and called Jiang Wen, asking him to find two or three people to act as matchmakers and invite Hou Jiangyong and Zhang Qingchi.
After Jiang Wen agreed, he contacted all the big guys. Since Zhou Jinbai had something to do, none of those people would dare to refuse.
After Jiang Wen contacted Hou Jiangyong and Zhang Qingchi, he contacted Qin Yu.
Zhou Jinbai's family connections are weak, and he only has an adopted son, so he can only rely on these good friends.
After Hou Jiangyong received Jiang Wen's call, he sent a message to Zhou Jinbai: "Don't worry, I promise to marry you back in a respectable manner. Send me the location and I'll apply for passage. It will be done in two or three days."
Zhou Jinbai was speechless after seeing his message. Standing at the intersection not far from Su Li's house, cigarette in hand, he replied, "Keep a low profile. You'd have nowhere to park your crappy plane if you flew over. The high-speed rail only takes three hours. You can come in a group and drive over."
Hou Jiangyong replied: [Just me and Lao Zhang? ]
Zhou Jinbai replied: [Let's go with four people: you, Old Zhang, Assistant Qin, and Butler Jiang.]
Hou Jiangyong said he understood: [Do you need me to help you prepare a gift? ]
Zhou Jinbai: "I think your collection of calligraphy and paintings is quite good. Take a set for the old man, and buy him two pieces of jewelry, a ring and earrings suitable for the elderly. Buy some good ones, and I'll pay you later."
Hou Jiangyong: [My calligraphy and paintings are worth billions, and you're already eyeing them. What's the price range for the gifts?]
Zhou Jinbai: [About 50 million.]
Hou Jiangyong: [Okay, for your happiness, I'll make a sacrifice once. You're finally getting married.]
Zhou Jinbai: [If you don't get married soon, your wife will run away with someone else.]
Hou Jiangyong: [Tsk tsk tsk, you feel the goodness of women? ]
Zhou Jinbai: [Of course. I’m always in a good mood when I’m with my wife.]
Hou Jiangyong: [I've been telling you to get married for a long time, but you're still pretending. Having a woman in bed is definitely better than being alone.]
Zhou Jinbai: [There's more than one woman in your bed, right?]
Hou Jiangyong: [What nonsense are you talking about? My wife is the only one in my bed. Those outside are just for fun, not for real. I can give them money, but not love, otherwise my harmonious family will fall apart.]
Zhou Jinbai: [……]
Anyway, he didn't understand Hou Jiangyong's thoughts. He was old-fashioned and could only devote himself wholeheartedly to one person. To be honest, with Su Li, no one else would catch his eye.
Su Li is not only beautiful, but also knows how to act coquettishly, which makes him infatuated. In his heart, there is no other woman who can do whatever he wants like Su Li.
My body and soul can only belong to her in this life.
He asked Hou Jiangyong to prepare the gifts, contact Lao Zhang and others to come together tomorrow, and let Jiang Wen drive his car.
Hou Jiangyongdu responded.
After strolling around the area, he went to the vegetable market and bought some ingredients for lunch. They were all Su Li's favorite foods.
In the early stages of pregnancy, he had to be very careful and meticulous, and he checked what foods he couldn't give her before buying them.
It is not advisable to eat hot, cold or spicy foods.
Thinking that Su Li was a little girl who paid attention to maintaining her figure, he bought beef and mutton, as well as prawns and ribs.
The vegetarian dishes were stir-fried spinach and stir-fried bok choy. I bought meatballs and vermicelli for the two elderly people, fearing that they would not be able to chew them.
In fact, my grandparents now either eat noodles or vermicelli, and the rice has to be soaked in soup.
When he returned, it was still early, so he went to the kitchen. He had hardly cooked since he started his career, and he learned his cooking skills when he was not well off.
But he is not unfamiliar with it. He will cook for himself when he is bored.
The elderly’s kitchen is relatively simple, and you can tell what is which at a glance, unlike at home, where many smart home appliances require trial and error before you can use them.
He prepared the ingredients, chopped the onions, ginger and garlic and stewed the spareribs first, then sat in the kitchen and started to pick out the shrimp threads. The lively shrimps lost their vitality in his hands.
When grandpa and grandma came back from their walk and buying groceries, the house was already filled with fragrance. Su Li was also awakened by the fragrance downstairs. Her window was open.
The weather in early summer is not very hot yet, but a little bit cold.
She wondered what delicious food grandma had cooked, it smelled so good.
After she calmed down, she quickly climbed out of bed, put on her slippers, and went downstairs.
As he walked down the stairs, he called out, "Grandma, what delicious food did you make? It smells so good."
In fact, grandpa and grandma had just come back and put down the vegetables they bought from the roadside vegetable stall.
Four dishes and a soup were already placed on the dining table, and Zhou Jinbai was washing dishes in the kitchen.
After seeing that she woke up, he hooked his finger at her and said, "You serve the two old people food while I wash my hands."
Su Li looked at the food in the restaurant and was a little surprised. "You cook?"
Zhou Jinbai smiled and asked, "No?"
Su Li was a little surprised. She had never seen Zhou Jinbai cook at the Zhou family. Although he said he could cook, Su Li had never eaten it.
He was very busy in Beijing and had no time to do this at home.
Su Li served food to her grandparents and asked them when they would come back.
Grandpa glanced into the kitchen and said, "You just came back. I didn't realize you could cook. You look quite good."
Grandma exclaimed, "It looks delicious, but it's a pity that your grandfather and I have no teeth."
Su Li took the bowl and picked up a piece of pork ribs, but it fell out when she slurped it. "It's edible, grandma, try it."
She picked up a piece for her grandmother and said, "It's overcooked."
Zhou Jinbai washed his hands, brought a bowl of rice over and found a seat. "They should all be edible, except for the shrimp. Litchi will eat the shrimp."
Su Li glanced at him coquettishly, "You are so virtuous. It would be great to marry you home."
Grandma said, "But he won't marry into the family. It would be great if he did."
Grandpa wanted to serve the soup, and Zhou Jinbai happened to be standing nearby. He took Grandpa's bowl and said, "I'll do it."
I served grandpa some meatball and vermicelli soup and placed it next to him.
Grandpa picked up the spoon and said, "People nowadays don't talk about that. They just get married and live wherever they want after marriage. My requirements are not high. I just want to come back often to visit."
Zhou Jinbai responded, "I will come back to visit you often."
Grandpa nodded and said, "That's fine. Don't treat her unfairly when you go to your house. Be nice to her. Her grandmother and I will feel relieved."
Zhou Jinbai nodded, "Okay, I won't let you down."
Grandpa added, "It's not a big deal. Go back and see her parents and tell them when to hold the wedding. But you have to invite a matchmaker. You have to go through the necessary procedures, and her parents must be present during the process. I'll call them."
Zhou Jinbai paused holding his chopsticks. "Okay, I'll follow your instructions."
After listening to this, Su Li said, "We can't hold a wedding. We can only go through the formalities and get the marriage certificate."
When her grandmother asked why, Su Li pointed at herself and said, "I'm a top female artist now, very popular. I can't let anyone know who I'm married to, or I'll get into trouble."
Grandma expressed doubt, "Are you very popular? Why haven't I seen you on TV?"
Su Li, “…”
Well, my grandparents don’t watch anything except CCTV.
Grandpa also asked, "What TV series have you acted in? I haven't seen any of them."
Su Li waved her hand and said, "Forget it, you should just watch the news."
Zhou Jinbai peeled shrimps for her without saying a word, his eyes focused on the work and his hands busy.
The two elders saw his behavior.
He looks very skilled, and this is not the first time he has done this.
In today's society, the ratio of men to women is unbalanced, with more men than women, and more and more women are unwilling to get married.
Therefore, most of our male compatriots try their best to marry a wife, but some of them are fine before marriage but change after marriage.
So we still have to consider what to do.
After dinner, grandma wanted to wash the dishes, after all, Zhou Jinbai was a guest.
Su Li asked her grandmother to rest and she would take over.
Since she was washing the dishes, it was naturally Zhou Jinbai's job.
Zhou Jinbai asked her to talk to her grandparents while he went to wash the dishes.
Grandma held Su Li's hand and whispered about Zhou Jinbai, "His cooking is quite delicious. He must cook often at home. He has a keen eye and is a person who can read people's expressions. It's true that being a leader is different."
Su Li wanted to laugh, "At work, he always does things according to his instructions. He doesn't even cook at home. There are more than a dozen nannies at home, so why does he need to do all this?"
Grandma was surprised. "Then he seems so diligent? How long have you been together?"
Su Li replied, "It's been about two years, but we've known each other for more than five years. He has always been the same, he hasn't changed."
Grandma nodded appreciatively. "You've known each other for a long time, then. Why did you want to be with him?"
Su Li thought for a moment, "He's very good to me, and dotes on me. You've seen it too. With just one word from me, he'd come all the way from Beijing to be with me, even dropping his work and indulging my temper. Where else can I find a man like him?"
Grandma whispered, "Does he know you're getting married for the second time? Wasn't your ex-husband treating you badly?"
Su Li nodded. "He knew I was divorced. If my ex-husband had been good to me, I wouldn't have had the chance to be with him. Ultimately, I'm grateful for my ex-husband's cheating on me. Otherwise, I wouldn't have found such a good husband."
Grandma sighed, "So how old was your ex-husband?"
Su Li said, "He was the same age as me. I was with him for three years, but he cheated on me with a 19-year-old beauty, so I divorced him."
Grandma patted her hands and said, "It's a good thing you divorced. That scumbag doesn't deserve to be with you. He thinks he's marrying up like this, even at the first glance, and he doesn't cherish her. I'm giving him face. This Xiao Zhou is pretty good. He knows it's not easy to pursue you."
Su Li agreed and whispered to her grandmother, "That's right. In order to pursue me, she bought me several houses, all in Beijing. If I leave this time, I have to take you and grandpa with me. You two are old, and I don't feel comfortable leaving you at home."
Grandma felt warm in her heart, "As long as you are well, that's all. Your grandfather and I would be a burden if we went to the big city. We don't want to cause you any trouble."
Su Li refused, "I'm a rich man now, how could you possibly cause me trouble? My parents don't need to raise me anymore, and you and grandpa won't go find them."
In fact, when people get older, they tend to feel a certain degree of inferiority.
Although they only have one son now and their daughter doesn't recognize them, they don't want to cause trouble to others.
Even if they are too old to walk, they should die with dignity. Having seen too many people who do not support their parents, the two old people have become very open-minded.
It is said that raising children is a way to prepare for old age, but in their opinion, they just need to raise their children and don’t rely on them if they can’t.
She still rejected Su Li's proposal, "Look, now that you're pregnant, they're busy taking care of you. Grandpa and I are very comfortable at home. There's nothing to worry about. Don't worry."
Su Li felt sad. "Really, Grandma, I don't need them to take care of me. I can hire a nanny. I have money. You and Grandpa don't have to be afraid. Just follow me over there."
My grandma also wants to go. She has been trapped in a small place all her life and has never been anywhere.
Although it is not far from the capital, I was busy working when I was young and used the money I earned to support my family. My son and daughter-in-law were in the capital, but I never went there once for fear of causing trouble to them.
Now that I’m old and have more time, I want to travel around. I’m too old to walk anymore.
People really live in shackles throughout their lives.
The two old people were really satisfied with Zhou Jinbai. He was good-looking, very capable, and a quiet man.
He doesn't brag about how capable he is, he just does whatever work is offered to him.
After grandparents took a nap, Su Li woke up and sat in the shade of the yard to chat with Zhou Jinbai.
Zhou Jinbai told her, "The matchmaker will come tomorrow to propose marriage. We will get up early to buy groceries and I will cook."
Su Li lay on the recliner and looked at him. "I finally understand why men want to get married. If I had such a virtuous wife, I would get married too. I don't need to tell her. The clothes are washed, the floor is cleaned, and even the meal is prepared. Who wouldn't want to get married? But I'm not virtuous, so you have to think it through."
Zhou Jinbai looked at her and smiled, "I don't need you to do these things. Just be Mrs. Zhou and be responsible for loving me. You don't need to do anything else. Others will do it."
Su Li felt that her life was bright. "Why would I look for a rich boyfriend if I didn't? At least we wouldn't have to argue about food and daily necessities. And there are even fewer who are as handsome and rich as Uncle Zhou."
Zhou Jinbai nodded, "You have good taste. You think I'm handsome."
Su Li laughed. "Actually, I've always thought you were quite handsome, but you're a bit scary when you look cold. Besides, I used to be with Zhou Zexi, so I was considered your junior, so naturally I was afraid of you."
Zhou Jinbai asked, "Are you not afraid now?"
Su Li shook her head. "I'm not afraid now. I think you're even more handsome when you have a cold face. It makes me want to kiss you, hug you, and even better, push you down."
Zhou Jinbai glanced towards the living room and lowered his voice, "Keep your voice down. It would be embarrassing if the old man heard it."
Su Li laughed out loud, "You have some shame, Uncle Zhou."
Although it is shameless in front of Su Li, how can I be shameless in front of her elders?
Zhou Jinbai cooked noodles for dinner again.
Grandma also said, "Look, Xiao Zhou can't stay idle when he comes home, but you, as a member of our family, just lie down and do nothing when you get home, and even let Xiao Zhou do the cooking."
Su Li glanced at her grandmother and said, "Are you being partial now? Grandma, you're really being ridiculous."
grandmother,"……"
Zhou Jinbai smiled but said nothing.
Because they had to get up early, Zhou Jinbai urged Su Li to take a shower and go to bed.
Su Li couldn't sleep at all as she slept too much during the day, but Zhou Jinbai was a little sleepy. Grandpa and grandma didn't fall asleep for long. Zhou Jinbai listened to Qin Yu's report on the company's affairs for a while, then lay on the bed and hugged Su Li to sleep.
Zhou Jinbai fell asleep, and Su Li was so bored that she read a novel alone.
After reading for a while and getting bored, she went to look for Xiao H's article.
As a result, she realized what she was feeling.
Zhou Jinbai was sleeping soundly, Su Li rubbing against him. He subconsciously hugged her and kissed her, mumbling, "Stop it, my wife."
Seeing that he was sleeping soundly, Su Li stopped bothering him. She touched him for a long time until he felt the sensation, then took out her little hand, rested it on his arms and prepared to go to sleep.
Zhou Jinbai felt uncomfortable and subconsciously touched her. She was wearing a nightgown and her long legs were draped over his waist. He hugged her and pulled down his pants and stuffed them inside.
Su Li held him and blinked, but he didn't wake up yet. Just when she was wondering if something happened, Zhou Jinbai turned over and hit her hard twice, and Su Li groaned.
Zhou Jinbai finally woke up. When he woke up and saw what she was doing, he was also frightened and quickly pulled himself away. He buried his face in her arms and said in a weak and helpless voice, "What should I do if something happens?"
Su Li was neither too excited nor too depressed. "It shouldn't be a problem. Some people don't realize they're pregnant until a month or two later, and they can have sex a few times during that time without any problems."
Zhou Jinbai raised his eyes in the darkness, "Is it time for me to get old?"
Su Li asked quietly, "How old are you?"
He kissed her soft lips, "You are at the age of wolves and tigers."
Su Li was stunned. "No, I just haven't seen you these few days and I just missed you."
He slowly pushed himself in again, not rushing to move, "I'll go slowly, but you can't do this. I saw someone say you can't cross your legs when you're pregnant."
He walked around behind Su Li and said, "I'll hold you from behind for five minutes, okay?"
Su Li hugged his neck with her backhand, "Okay."
Although it was difficult for him to endure, he had to restrain himself for the sake of his wife and baby.
Five minutes later, he wanted to withdraw, but Su Li wouldn't let him.
"Just sleep like this."
“…”
"You are not allowed to go out."
"Miss me so much?"
"Very much."
"You still want to sleep together?"
"I do. Not to mention sleeping together, I also want you to stay in there for a whole day."
"What are you going to do when I get old, Litchi?"
"Then love me more before you get old."
"When I'm old and you're still young, will you despise me?"
"No, but Uncle Zhou won't be able to do it by then. What should I do when I want it?"
Zhou Jinbai sighed.
"I still have my hands."
“…”
Zhou Jinbai had to get up early, and after being woken up by Su Li in the middle of the night, he served and comforted her for a long time until Su Li became sleepy. He then left and took a cold shower to cool down.
The next morning, Su Li whined and didn't want to get up, so Zhou Jinbai didn't call her.
He got dressed, washed up, and went to the market to buy vegetables. His grandparents were already drinking tea in the yard.
Seeing him come out, grandma asked him what he was doing. Zhou Jinbai said, "I asked the person who proposed marriage to come today. He will probably arrive at noon. I'm going to buy some vegetables. You two can have some tea first. Don't worry, I'll cook lunch."
Grandpa waved his hand and said, "Go ahead. The food is fresh this morning. Buy two bottles of good wine when you come back. Otherwise, there will be nothing to entertain the guests."
Zhou Jinbai responded, "Okay."
Watching him leave with a stern figure, Grandpa sighed, "He's a good man, never bothered by trouble, and very hardworking. But Zhou Jinbai... there's actually someone with the same name. The philanthropist Zhou Jinbai wouldn't do something like this, would he?"
Grandma agreed. "Zhizhi is just a nobody. How could she get close to such a wealthy person? This Xiao Zhou is quite good. Have you called Su Quan and his wife? When will they come?"
Grandpa took out his cell phone and said, "Call now, you can still get back by noon."
Grandpa called Su Quan, and Su Quan was just about to go to work.
Grandpa said in a cold voice, "Don't be busy. Your wife and I should take today off. Zhizhi's boyfriend is home today, and his matchmaker is coming to propose marriage at noon. You two should come here as soon as possible."
Su Quan was stunned when he heard this. "Why didn't he come to see me and her mother first? He went straight to your place? What's going on? Did he go to cast a spell on you and my mother?"
Grandpa scolded, "What nonsense are you talking about? He's a good man. He worships your daughter like an ancestor. This grandson-in-law is quite reliable. Your mother and I both like him."
Su Quan, “…”
