In just a few months, they got married, their careers flourished, and they got back all the shares they were supposed to. Now, the Xia, Yang, and Zhou families often get together for meals, enjoying each other's company.
And sure enough, with the Chinese New Year just around the corner, they've all gathered in the food court again.
The whole family was laughing and joking, eating, drinking, and having a good time.
In the past few days, Yang Yajing has been feeling an urge to urinate, as if she can't hold it in after drinking water.
Sure enough, I just drank a few sips of plum juice and now I need to go to the toilet!
Perhaps because she stood up too quickly, Yang Yajing felt dizzy as soon as she stood up, her vision went black, and she fell straight backward.
Zhou Pengfei, who was standing nearby, immediately got up to help her, preventing her from falling to the ground.
"What's wrong? What's wrong? Ya Jing! Wake up!" Madam Xia asked anxiously.
"Is it low blood sugar?" Sylvia Chang asked, coming to Yang Yajing's side with concern.
"Have you been working too hard lately?" Mrs. Xia asked, glaring at Xia Changlong with suspicion. "Have you worn out our precious baby?"
"Huh? Definitely not! I haven't given her any work to do lately!" Xia Changlong shook his head like a bell.
"Maybe they're keeping a close eye on things because of the recent construction work?" Zhou Pengfei guessed.
Fortunately, Yang Yajing quickly regained consciousness: "Huh? What happened to me?"
"Honey, are you feeling unwell?"
"Is it low blood sugar?"
"Are you so busy that you forgot to eat?"
"Oh my! You scared me to death! What happened?"
"No! You need to go to the hospital for a checkup!"
A group of elderly people were talking all at once.
Yang Yajing couldn't refuse, and during the Lunar New Year, she was forcibly taken to the hospital by a group of elders.
The meal was left unfinished halfway through, and all three families ended up in the hospital.
The examinations lasted two or three hours, with each elderly person undergoing meticulous checks. Yang Yajing, who had a lot of blood drawn, remarked, "Are hospitals all bloodsuckers?"
There's even a urine test and all those lab reports—it's so annoying! Yang Yajing herself felt it was unnecessary; they were just worrying unnecessarily!
Sure enough, back in the doctor's office, the doctor smiled and told the worried elders that Yang Yajing was perfectly fine and healthy!
"Doctor! If she's healthy, why did she faint? Is it because they can't find anything wrong? Let's do another check!" Mrs. Xia persisted.
"Mrs. Xia!" The doctor smiled and shook his head, "You really don't need it! I'll just prescribe some folic acid!"
"Folic acid?" Mrs. Xia was taken aback.
"Madam! Your daughter is pregnant! Congratulations!" the doctor replied with a smile.
"Ah! Ah! Ah!" Madam Xia suddenly jumped up like a child, grabbing Xia Changlong's arm and shaking it. "I'm going to be a grandmother! I'm going to be a grandmother!"
All the other elderly people who had crowded around the doctor's office were also delighted and came over to shake hands with the doctor and express their gratitude.
At this moment, the doctor felt that Yang Yajing's pregnancy was all thanks to her, and he didn't know whether to laugh or cry!
They returned to the Xia residence in a grand procession. Now they treat Yang Yajing like a treasure, practically raising her like a cripple!
The servants of the Xia family also joined in the commotion and immediately devised a pregnancy diet plan, which they were extremely excited about!
Mrs. Xia was worried about the young couple living by the sea and suggested that they stay at the Xia residence, where they would be taken care of all day.
The other two families also voted in favor, and even Zhou Pengfei voted in favor, which really left Yang Yajing speechless.
"Mom and Dad! I'm pregnant! Not in the late stages of cancer! Is this really necessary?" Yang Yajing sighed, rubbing her forehead.
"Pah! Pah! Pah! Children say the darndest things! Children say the darndest things!" Sylvia Chang clasped her hands together. "Ya Jing! You can't say unlucky things! Be mindful of prenatal education!"
"Mom!" Yang Yajing exclaimed, both amused and exasperated, "It's not even the size of a soybean! What kind of prenatal education is this?"
“Don’t bully me just because I’ve never had a child! I’ve been pregnant several times! It’s just a pity that conditions weren’t good back then, and my health wasn’t good either…” Sylvia Chang recalled a painful memory, “So you need to take good care of yourself during your pregnancy, okay?”
"Sigh! I've lost several too!" Mrs. Xia sighed. "I understand how Aijia feels! Really! Don't have any regrets!"
Looking at this large family and listening to their own feelings, Yang Yajing gave in.
It wasn't that she was worried about herself, but rather that she wanted to put her two mothers at ease! They had all suffered hardships, how could she bear to let them worry and suffer again?
Anyway, the Xia residence is big and the environment is good. There are two studies, so I can work from home and save on gas costs!
Madam Xia also converted a large north-facing room into Zhou Pengfei's studio, so that he could paint at home. This way, if Xia Changlong was away, at least Zhou Pengfei could lend a hand.
Yang Yajing really felt that these two mothers were being overly neurotic. She, Yang Yajing, was pregnant, not terminally ill, nor had she suddenly lost her ability to take care of herself. Did she really need to be so meticulous and cautious about everything?
But she also knew that both mothers had experienced unexpected and distressing things during their pregnancies, so she went along with whatever they wanted, just to put her mind at ease.
At least if she behaves herself for a few months, these two mothers can get a few months of restful sleep. Otherwise, if she gives birth, they will be exhausted from lack of sleep!
Fortunately, Yang Yajing was in good physical condition, could eat and sleep well, and didn't experience much morning sickness. At most, she didn't eat much and had frequent urination.
Fearing she might be too fast-paced and careless, the maids have now laid out non-slip mats in the bathroom.
"Moms! I'm not even showing yet! Is it really necessary to go through all this trouble? It's so tiring for the cleaning ladies to do all that!" Yang Yajing said, both amused and exasperated.
"Not tired at all! Not tired at all!" A maid quickly waved her hand. "It's a joyous occasion that the young mistress is pregnant, and we're delighted! If the mistress is so happy, we're happy for her too!"
