Not long after, the phone rang.
After Li Shengli answered the phone, he handed it to Ran Jinnian.
He had nothing to do at the moment, so he helped look after An'an.
"Lanlan," Ran Jinnian said. She used to play with Lu Lanlan often.
However, when she was in junior high school, her teacher discovered that she had an exceptional talent for physics, and not long after, the country sent her to study in the United States.
She met Zhou Feng, who was studying abroad, while she was in school. The two got married when they were eighteen and went to work at a research institute together after returning to China.
When Ran Jinnian and Lu Jinyuan got married, Lu Lanlan was conducting research in the Northwest, which was the most important time for her.
So she couldn't get away, and she had no way to come back.
"sister in law."
Lu Lanlan's voice rang out, slightly choked with emotion.
Ran Jinnian immediately became anxious: "Lanlan, what's wrong?"
"I'm about to give birth." Lu Lanlan called last year to say she was pregnant, and judging by the timeline, it's about this month.
"Yes, I know."
Ran Jinnian calmed down.
“Sister-in-law, the research I’m doing now is in its final stage. After I give birth, I have to stay at the research institute. But there’s no one to take care of the child.”
Lu Lanlan's parents-in-law have passed away, leaving only an elderly woman in the family.
She simply didn't trust the elderly to take care of the children.
Zhou Feng has two older brothers, and she has seen the true colors of her two sisters-in-law, so she is afraid that they will treat the child badly.
So after much thought, she felt at ease leaving her child with her brother and sister-in-law.
Ran Jin read it aloud and immediately understood: "Lanlan, you want me to help you take care of the child."
"Sister-in-law, this research will be completed in six months at most. Then I'll be able to take care of the child myself." Lu Lanlan had no other choice.
This research is extremely important. The institute is already short-staffed, otherwise they wouldn't have kept her, a pregnant woman who was about to give birth.
She originally wanted to call Lu's mother, but Lu's mother had fallen last winter and fractured her arms and legs.
She spent two months recovering from her injury, and the doctor told her not to do heavy work for a year after she recovered.
That's why Lu Lanlan called Ran Jinnian.
“Lanlan, we are family. You are contributing to the country. Taking care of a child is nothing to me.” Ran Jinnian breathed a sigh of relief; she had thought something serious was going on.
She's already taking care of a child, so taking care of another one won't be a problem.
Moreover, Lu Lanlan is conducting scientific research, which is a major undertaking for the country and its people.
As a family member, she naturally couldn't let things fall apart.
"Sister-in-law, thank you."
Lu Lanlan's eyes turned red.
She didn't tell her brother about this because he was a soldier who was usually busy with military duties and often went out on missions.
Moreover, my sister-in-law is the head of the household.
Her brother agreed, but her sister-in-law didn't, so the matter couldn't be resolved.
"Your due date is at the end of this month, right?" Ran Jinnian remembered it.
"Um."
"Then I'll come over in a few days."
Lu Lanlan didn't expect her sister-in-law to be in such a hurry: "Sister-in-law, there's no need to be in such a rush."
"The baby might be born early, so I'll come as soon as possible." Ran Jinnian is currently unemployed, so she can leave whenever she wants.
Even when she has a job, her family comes first.
"Okay, sure."
Lu Lanlan choked up again.
She felt she wasn't a good mother, having left her child's aunt to care for the baby before the baby was even born.
"You need to be happy, so the baby in your belly will be happy," Ran Jinnian comforted her.
The two chatted for a while longer when someone called out to Lu Lanlan.
Lu Lanlan reluctantly said, "Sister-in-law, I have to go now."
"You're about to give birth and you're still busy?"
Ran Jinnian thought Lu Lanlan would have time to rest, but she didn't expect it to be so tough.
