After cleaning up the dishes, everyone went home. On a whim, Li Chu gave the dogs an extra dinner. Although it was just plain noodles, the dogs, who had been craving it all day, devoured it.
From that meal onward, he deliberately didn't add any medicine to Xiao Hei's or Chu Er's food, wanting to see when the two of them would click.
As July began, schools across the country gradually started their summer vacation.
The Li family received two pieces of good news.
One of them got pregnant in the second year of junior high school; it was Xiao Hei's child.
Another point is that Wang Yueyue is indeed pregnant with twins.
This was explosive news! Ding Qiunan, the mother-in-law, didn't act like an elder at all; she was so happy she almost jumped onto the roof.
Li Qin immediately knelt before her parents' memorial tablets to tell them the news, saying that she had finally lived up to her deceased parents' expectations and that the Li family had been able to continue its lineage.
Only Wang Yueyue and Li Wenxuan, along with Li Wenhui who had already returned home, were surprised.
Yueyue touched her still relatively flat stomach and looked at her husband, asking, "Brother Xuan, didn't you take my pulse too? How come you couldn't feel anything?"
Li Wenxuan shook his head with a wry smile: "I'm only a little bit better than Dad."
After Li Chu felt it out, he explained to Wenxuan in detail the difference between the pulse of twins and the normal pulse of pregnancy. Only then did Wenxuan gain some insight when he felt it again.
"But... does that mean in a few months, my belly will be as big as my cousin Jiayuan's, so big that I can't even walk?"
When Wang Jiayuan was in the later stages of her pregnancy, she really couldn't walk anymore. She needed someone to help her whenever she got out of bed, otherwise she would fall.
"Not necessarily. My cousin's two babies were both large because..."
At this point, Wenxuan noticed a strange expression on his wife's face. The reason Jiayuan was like that back then was because she ate a lot during her pregnancy, and the baby absorbed nutrients well, so she was much bigger than ordinary twins.
But his wife is the same way now, but he doesn't dare say that, otherwise he'll be in trouble.
"Why?" Wang Yueyue looked up at her man and asked.
"Yes...it's because the baby absorbed nutrients so well in her belly, but look at Choubao, he was thin and small when he was born, so you don't need to worry too much about your belly getting too big to walk."
"Tch... I thought you could say something."
Wang Yueyue stood up and sat down next to Wen Hui.
"Sister Hui, is Maodan being a good boy?"
"It's not bad, but my day and night are a bit reversed. I can't wake up during the day, and at night I either have to pee or poop, and I get hungry very quickly."
By the way, the best app for reading aloud right now is Yeguo Reading (yeguoyuedu). Install the latest version.
Li Wenhui looked at the baby sleeping soundly in the stroller and felt a little helpless.
Her milk supply was much greater than Wang Yueyue's at that time, and she had to get up at night to feed the baby.
"Yueyue, what made you decide to have a second child?"
"Hehe, I wanted to have another child for Brother Xuan, but I didn't expect it to be two this time." Wang Yueyue smiled sheepishly.
"The changes during this pregnancy are quite significant. I feel like I have an enormous appetite, needing to eat at least five meals a day. During those two days when I was still in class, I would constantly want to stuff food into my mouth; I was so craving it."
Li Wenhui looked at Wang Yueyue's face, which had originally been oval, but now had become round, and smiled happily.
She still felt more comfortable living here. Although she had a caregiver and a mother-in-law there, there seemed to be less laughter in the house, and people spoke in hushed tones.
Unlike their family, where they laugh loudly whenever they want and shout at the top of their lungs when they call out to others, the loud shouting is largely due to the size of their home.
Not only her, but Shen Yi also felt a little uncomfortable going back to live there, and he mentioned it to her more than once.
...
The fire from last time is finally almost over.
I don't know about other places, but here at the hospital, two positions have become vacant: one for the vice president and one for the deputy political commissar. In addition, there is the vacancy left by the transferred Vice President Song, so there are now three high-level positions missing here.
Just as many people were working hard, the high-level meeting at headquarters had just been suspended. Several people filed out of the meeting room, preparing to go to the cafeteria for lunch and then come back to continue. There were many topics to discuss today, and it might not be finished even after get off work in the afternoon.
Li Chulu was at the back, walking and talking with the leader.
"Hey Director Li, you're a high-ranking official in our department, and it's a bit much that you're driving around all day while your driver is on leave. You refused the bodyguards you were assigned before, and now you won't even hire a temporary driver. Look around, who else is like you?" The leader raised his hand and pointed to the few people who had already walked out.
“My situation is different from yours. You guys travel frequently for work and have important responsibilities. I hardly ever leave Beijing. What’s the point of having someone here? It would be a waste of manpower to have someone by my side.”
My driver took a few days off and came back. If I need to travel alone again like last time, I'll definitely ask the department for a bodyguard to accompany me.
"You..." The leader shook his head with a smile. He couldn't do anything about Li Chu. Who could blame him but this freak? Despite being a high-ranking official, he had almost no actual work to manage, and he didn't have to travel for work. He was always in the city, and he even had his own gun.
The matter has already been approved by the general manager; his comment as his direct supervisor is merely an expression of his concern.
"What are your thoughts on the proposal to streamline deputy positions made at the meeting just now?"
“I have no other ideas. Some institutions do need to be streamlined. For example, the General Hospital has one director and three deputy directors. One of them should be designated as the administrative deputy director. The political commissar’s office has one director and one deputy director, which is just right.”
"What do you think of Lao Meng's suggestion earlier, that Vice President Liu should step down from his position, and then one person should be promoted locally while another is transferred from elsewhere?"
"I think it's alright. Vice President Liu is indeed getting old. I think it would be best to transfer someone from outside to work in administration."
"You mean you agree to transfer someone from outside?"
"Pretty much. Promote one business vice president on the spot and transfer one administrative vice president to assist Dean Du."
"I thought you would suggest promoting everyone on the spot?" The leader looked at Li Chu with some surprise.
Why would you think that?
“After all, you’re there every day, and you’re more familiar with the people there. It’s normal for you to think of them when something happens.”
“If there’s no suitable one, we can’t just pick one from among the short ones, right? That would be too irresponsible,” Li Chu said with a smile.
"Okay, do you have any recommendations for a business vice president?"
"Director Song from the Department of Surgery, right?" he said almost without thinking.
"One Vice Dean Song left, and another Vice Dean Song has come. That's good." The leader smiled and nodded.
