Chapter 62 Big Brother Jiang Jinghuai is Here
Ever since Jiang Ruoxi had her prenatal checkup, the doctor specifically reminded her to control her nutritional intake and avoid overnutrition, and the rhythm of life at home has quietly changed.
Lu Tingxiao took this matter to heart and personally took care of his diet and daily routine.
He stipulates that breakfast at home can be relatively simple, but it must be rich in protein, such as steaming hot dumplings with a bowl of soft millet porridge and a boiled egg, soft bread and a glass of fresh milk, which can start a day full of energy.
As for lunch and dinner, they must be carefully planned, with a focus on the combination of meat and vegetables, so that Jiang Ruoxi can take in enough high-quality protein and ensure the intake of dietary fiber, so that nutritional balance can be fully reflected. On the dining table, there are often nutritious dishes such as steamed sea bass with stir-fried seasonal vegetables, tender beef brisket stewed with carrots, etc.
Not only that, Jiang Ruoxi takes a 15-minute walk after every meal, which has become a regular part of her life.
When she takes a walk, there must be someone accompanying her to prevent her from getting into any mishap. Especially at noon, when the sun shone gently in the courtyard, Jiang Ruoxi, accompanied by her family or servants, walked slowly along the winding stone path, enjoying the fresh air and feeling the subtle movements of the fetus in her belly. After the walk, she would return to her warm bedroom and take a relaxing nap to fully relax her body and mind.
You should also sunbathe regularly on weekdays, choose periods of milder sunlight, such as 9-10 am or 4-5 pm, and sunbathe for about 15-30 minutes each time. Avoid exposure to strong sunlight to prevent sunburn. I have to say, Jiang Ruoxi's life is really comfortable!
In order to make the combination of meat and vegetables more scientific and reasonable, every Sunday, Lu Tingxiao would sit around the dining table with Aunt Chen and Aunt Lan to discuss and formulate the menu for the next week.
They will carefully consider seasonal factors and select the freshest ingredients of the season, while also taking Jiang Ruoxi's taste preferences into account. During the discussion, everyone expressed their opinions. Aunt Chen, with her many years of cooking experience, proposed many clever combinations of ingredients; Aunt Lan was familiar with the nutritional content of various ingredients and would give suggestions from a health perspective; Lu Tingxiao listened carefully and put forward his own ideas from time to time, striving to make every meal a nutritious feast for Jiang Ruoxi and the fetus.
As the pregnancy progressed, Jiang Ruoxi's body became plumper and her face was filled with a happy glow. During each prenatal checkup, the doctor expressed satisfaction with the health of her and the fetus, which made Lu Tingxiao and his family feel relieved. The carefully prepared meals, cozy walks, and loving recipe discussions have become the warmest and most precious memories of their small family in the process of welcoming a new life, and have filled them with infinite expectations and longings for the upcoming new life.
The warm spring sun gently shines in the courtyard. Jiang Ruoxi sits comfortably in the rocking chair, slightly tilting her head back, enjoying this moment of tranquility and warmth. Just then, a crisp knock on the door broke the silence. Upon hearing the voice, Aunt Chen quickly put down the work in her hands and walked quickly to the door.
The door slowly opened, and a strange man in a neat military uniform stood there. He has a sturdy figure and handsome face, exuding the unique perseverance of a soldier, and holding a bag steadily in his right hand.
Before Aunt Chen could ask, the man took the lead in showing a gentle smile and said politely: "Aunt, hello, I'm looking for Jiang Ruoxi, she lives here, I think, I'm her eldest brother!"
Jiang Ruoxi heard a familiar and long-lost voice and subconsciously looked up towards the door. When she saw him, surprise and surprise flashed in her eyes. She stood up suddenly and shouted excitedly, "Brother, why are you here? Why didn't you call me in advance so that I could ask Tingxiao to pick you up!"
Seeing his sister's eager movements, Jiang Jinghuai's heart suddenly tightened, and the luggage in his hands slipped instantly. He walked to Jiang Ruoxi's side in two steps, supported her steadily, and pretended to be angry and said, "Why are you picking her up? How can a grown man like me get lost? You are pregnant now, don't be so impatient, what if you get bumped into something!"
As he spoke, he patted Jiang Ruoxi's shoulder gently, his eyes full of concern and love.
After helping Jiang Ruoxi sit down, Jiang Jinghuai bent down to pick up the luggage on the ground, carefully took out some local specialties and small items from it, and said with a smile: "I know you are pregnant, and there is nothing I can do to help you. This time I passed by here on a mission and came to see you, so I brought some local specialties from the Northeast. And these few small clothes, I specially picked them for my unborn nephew/niece, I don't know if they suit your taste!"
Jiang Ruoxi took the things, tears welled up in her eyes, but a happy smile hung on her lips: "Brother, you are still the same as before, thinking of me in everything. Even the clothes you picked for your little nephew/niece are not enough!"
Jiang Jinghuai asked in confusion: "What do you mean?"
"You will have three little nephews/nieces at once!"
"Is this true?" Jiang Jinghuai said in disbelief.
"Really? Why would I lie to you?" Jiang Ruoxi said affirmatively.
"Do my parents know?"
"I know, only you and my second brother don't know!"
As they were talking, Lu Tingxiao came back from outside. Seeing Jiang Jinghuai, he was startled for a moment, then quickly stepped forward and extended his hand enthusiastically: "Brother, you're here. Welcome, welcome. You've worked hard along the way!"
Jiang Jinghuai quickly stood up, held Lu Tingxiao's hand, and said with a hearty smile, "It's not hard. I feel relieved to see that you are doing well."
Lu Tingxiao smiled and said, "Brother, we are so happy that you can come. From now on, just treat this place as your own home and don't be polite." Then, he turned around and told Aunt Chen to buy some more meat and add some meat dishes to treat Jiang Jinghuai well. The family sat together, laughter echoed in the house, it was warm and beautiful.
Jiang Jinghuai came here this time because he happened to be passing by while on a mission. In order to visit his sister and brother-in-law, he finished his work early and rushed to squeeze out this precious time. Even so, he couldn't stay for long.
After a brief reunion, they only stayed for one night before having to set out on their journey again to the front line of the mission.
Before leaving, when the morning light was dim and the sky was just turning pale, Jiang Ruoxi got up early and accompanied Jiang Jinghuai for a walk and chat in the yard.
Her face was full of worry, her brows slightly furrowed, her eyes never left Jiang Jinghuai, and she kept muttering: "Brother, you must pay attention to safety when you go on this mission, and you must not be careless. If you encounter danger, hide if you can, don't force yourself, returning safely is the most important thing!"
Jiang Jinghuai smiled and nodded, his eyes full of brotherly tenderness, and comforted him: "Don't worry, I know what I'm doing. I haven't made any mistakes in all these years of carrying out missions. When my little nephew/niece is born, I will take him/her out to play!"
But Jiang Ruoxi was still worried and continued to remind him: "Also, no matter how busy you are, call home more often when you have time to let us know how you are doing. If we don't hear from you for a long time, my parents and I will be so worried that we won't be able to eat or sleep!" As she spoke, her eyes reddened slightly and her voice unconsciously became choked.
Jiang Jinghuai reached out and gently patted Jiang Ruoxi's shoulder, comforting her: "Okay, I'll call you back as soon as I'm free. You're pregnant, so you have to take good care of yourself. Don't worry about me. I will take good care of myself. I'm not a child anymore!"
Lu Tingxiao also stepped forward and said solemnly, "Brother, you are on a mission outside. If you need any help, just ask. I'm here at home, so you don't have to worry!" Jiang Jinghuai looked at Lu Tingxiao gratefully and nodded vigorously, "Good brother and brother-in-law, I feel relieved when you say this. Take care of my sister more. If you bully my sister, we brothers will settle the score with you!"
After breakfast, the car started slowly. Jiang Jinghuai sat in the back seat, rolled down the window, and waved goodbye to Jiang Ruoxi and Lu Tingxiao.
Jiang Ruoxi's eyes were filled with tears. She looked at the car going farther and farther away, and was reluctant to leave for a long time. Until the car disappeared from the end of her sight, she was still standing there, her heart full of concern and worry for her eldest brother.
