Chapter 397 The Second Daughter-in-law is Pregnant
Fujian.
Fuqing.
Maternal and child health care.
The female dean who personally examined Gu Caiwei said with a smile on her face: "Congratulations, Madam Deng, you are pregnant!"
Although Gu Caiwei had already suspected this when she came for the examination, she was still very happy to get the doctor's confirmation: "Thank you, Dean Zhou, what should I pay attention to next?"
Director Zhou replied: "First of all, we need to pay attention to balanced nutrition, which is crucial for the development of the fetus. We need to consume a moderate amount of foods rich in various nutrients such as protein, carbohydrates, fat, vitamins and minerals, such as apples, milk, eggs, meat, etc."
Gu Caiwei sat there and listened carefully.
"Secondly, avoid contact with harmful substances, such as tobacco, alcohol, irritating dust, etc., which will help protect the health of yourself and the fetus."
Director Zhou instructed one by one: "In addition, you need to do appropriate activities, which can improve the physical and mental state of pregnant women, strengthen the elasticity of ligaments, and reduce the burden of childbirth. However, it should be noted that strenuous and high-risk exercises should not be performed.
Also, we must maintain a good attitude. Generally, during pregnancy, pregnant women's emotions fluctuate greatly. What we need to do is to try to maintain a positive and optimistic attitude. We can relieve tension, anxiety and fear through relaxation techniques, breathing exercises, communication and other methods.
Finally, during pregnancy, you need to go to a regular hospital for prenatal check-ups to ensure the health of the mother and fetus."
Gu Caiwei nodded and said, "Okay, I'll remember that. Thank you, Dean Zhou."
Dean Zhou smiled and said, "Mrs. Deng, you are too polite. This is what I should do. I'll leave you my phone number. If you have any questions, you can call me anytime. Also, I'll trouble you to come for a prenatal check-up next month."
Gu Caiwei said: "Okay."
…
A residential compound in Wuhan.
In the study, Mother Gu was still practicing her calligraphy.
Ninety-nine point nine nine nine percent of people in this world have hobbies. Doing what you love will never make you tired. Gu's mother's hobby is calligraphy. She enjoys the writing process very much and she will be full of energy even if she writes for a whole day.
Especially when I am in a good mood and write something that makes me satisfied, the sense of accomplishment is incomparable.
Just as Gu's mother was practicing calligraphy intently, the phone in the living room suddenly rang.
Mother Gu had no choice but to put down her brush and go out to answer the phone.
When the call was connected, I heard my little daughter smiling and announcing the good news: "Mom, I have good news to tell you. I'm pregnant."
Upon hearing this, Mother Gu was overjoyed and said, "Great, when did it happen?"
Gu Caiwei smiled and said, "My period was delayed for a week, and I felt something was wrong. Today I went to the maternal and child health care center for a check-up, and it turned out that I was pregnant."
Mother Gu asked happily, "Have you called your father-in-law?"
Gu Caiwei said, "Not yet. I'll call you first and then call my father-in-law later."
Mother Gu asked, "Where do you plan to take care of your pregnancy next? Do you want to stay in Fuqing, or go to Nanning or Bobai? Otherwise, come back to Wuhan and I will take care of you."
Gu Caiwei said, "I haven't thought about this yet. When Yunheng comes back from get off work, I'll discuss it with him and then make a decision."
Mother Gu said, "That's fine. When you have made up your mind, call me."
Gu Caiwei said, "I understand."
Mother Gu asked, "What should you pay attention to when you are pregnant? Has the doctor told you?"
Gu Caiwei said: "The doctor told me everything in detail."
Mother Gu said, "That's good enough. Then you should listen to the doctor and take good care of your pregnancy. Give me a big fat grandson next year."
Gu Caiwei said: "It would be great if I could give birth to a big fat boy, but I am worried about what would happen if I gave birth to a daughter?"
Mother Gu comforted her, "There's nothing to worry about. Your father-in-law is not a man who favors boys over girls. He likes both grandsons and granddaughters."
Gu Caiwei said: "That's what they said, but I now understand the customs of Bobai County. They generally value sons over daughters. If you only give birth to daughters and not sons, you will be looked down upon in the countryside.
Yunheng is destined to have only one child, so there is only a 50% chance of a son and a 50% chance of a daughter. I am starting to worry about this. If a daughter is born, even if Yunheng and my father-in-law don’t care, there will inevitably be gossip back home.”
Mother Gu said, "As long as Yunheng and your father-in-law don't care, then why should you care about what others say? Anyway, with Yunheng's status, when you return to your hometown, others will respect you and no one will dare to say a word of gossip in front of you. This is enough."
Gu Caiwei sighed and said, "It would be nice if I could have more children."
Mother Gu said, "Weiwei, don't think too much about this. This is the basic national policy set by our country. State officials can only have one child. If you want to have more children, you must not want this job anymore."
Gu Caiwei said, "In fact, the family planning policy should be that those from well-off families should have more children so that they can have the conditions to raise them, while those from poor families should have fewer children because they don't have the conditions to raise them after they have children. The more children they have, the poorer they will be!"
Mother Gu smiled and said, "You have a point, but it won't work. If the country formulates national policies according to your method, there will be chaos in the world!"
Gu Caiwei was a top student who graduated from a key university after all, so she naturally understood that this was just talk and she couldn't really do it: "Mom, I'm just complaining, that's it for now, I'll call my father-in-law."
"Well, call me when you decide where to raise your baby."
"knew!"
…
When Deng Shirong received the good news call from his second daughter-in-law, he slapped his thigh with joy and said, "That's great, Weiwei, do you plan to stay in Fuqing to take care of your baby, or go home to take care of your baby?"
Gu Caiwei smiled and said, "Dad, wait until Yunheng comes back and I'll discuss it with him before deciding."
Deng Shirong said, "Okay, then you can discuss it with Yunheng first. If you want to stay in Fuqing to take care of your pregnancy, I will find a reliable aunt to take care of you. If you are willing to go home to take care of your pregnancy, your family can help take care of you."
Gu Caiwei said, "Okay, Dad, I got it. I'll call you after I've discussed it with Yunheng."
Deng Shirong nodded, then gave some further instructions before hanging up the phone.
…
A week later.
Gu Caiwei, accompanied by two female bodyguards, returned to Nanning by train.
The train ride was naturally a sleeper berth. For Deng Yunheng now, buying a sleeper berth was not a difficult thing.
The reason why I didn't take a plane is that it is not suitable to fly in the early and late stages of pregnancy.
It was already past five in the afternoon when we returned to the mansion in Wuyue Square.
After greeting each other, Deng Shirong said with a smile: "Weiwei, go wash your hands and eat. I stewed old hen soup and cooked a lot of dishes. Next time, you should try to eat a variety of foods so that you can ensure a balanced nutrition."
Gu Caiwei nodded and said, "I understand, Dad. I won't be picky about food."
Zhang Xiuping smiled and said, "Weiwei, you're in for a treat. When I was pregnant, my dad cooked delicious food for me every day. Fortunately, there were two of us eating at that time, so we needed adequate nutrition. If I had eaten like this alone, I would have grown into a fat woman."
"Sister-in-law, you have a great figure. You don't look like someone who has given birth to two children."
Gu Caiwei praised him, washed her hands, came back and sat at the dining table, and said, "Sister-in-law, you are very experienced, you must teach me how to take care of the baby."
Zhang Xiuping smiled and said, "That's no problem. I gave birth to Xiao Dong'er and Dongzi, and they really gave me a lot of experience!"
Deng Shirong continued, "The best way to maintain a healthy pregnancy is to stay in a good mood. Weiwei, besides embroidery, do you have any other hobbies?"
Gu Caiwei said: "Yes, I also like playing poker."
Deng Shirong smiled and said, "Then we will play poker with you every day. I wonder which way you like to play?"
Gu Caiwei asked, "My favorite game is Upgrade. Dad, do you know how to play this?"
Deng Shirong nodded and said, "I understand. We call this upgrade tractor here. It is a very popular way of playing poker. Among the countless ways of playing poker, most of them have a strong gambling nature. If there is no bet, those poker games are basically unattractive.
But this upgrade gameplay is an exception. Even without the stakes, the gameplay itself is already very attractive. "
Gu Caiwei nodded repeatedly and said, "Dad, you are right. When I played this upgrade game with my sister and parents before, I thought it was quite fun."
Deng Shirong looked at his eldest daughter-in-law and said, "Sister Ping, you should be able to play with this tractor, right?"
Zhang Xiuping nodded and said, "Yes, it's popular in my mother's family. It's not complicated to play. Once someone explains the rules and you watch a few games, you'll basically learn it."
Deng Shirong said, "Okay, Weiwei is tired from the car ride today, so go to bed early. Starting tomorrow, we will play two games of level-up with you every day."
Gu Caiwei said happily: "Okay, thank you, Dad."
Deng Shirong smiled and said, "We are all family, no need to be polite, let's eat quickly, or the food will get cold!"
…
Three days later.
Deng Shirong and his nephew boarded a bus to Guilin.
When the bus passed through Liuzhou, Bu Xiaoshi asked, "Uncle, is this blind date really as amazing as you said?"
"She is really amazing. It's not that your uncle underestimates you. If you were with her, she would definitely be able to control you completely."
At this point, Deng Shirong patted his nephew on the shoulder and said, "Xiao Shi, among the three of you brothers, your eldest brother is steady and down-to-earth. It is unlikely that he will become rich in the future, but it is not difficult for him to become a millionaire or even a multi-millionaire.
Your second brother is the bravest, has the most flexible mind, and is a hard-working and combative person. His transportation company is now thriving, and it is certain that he will become a billionaire in the future.
You are not as steady as your eldest brother, not as smart and courageous as your second brother, and you are not good at business. If I, your uncle, do not take care of you, it will be very difficult for you to become a multi-millionaire in the future.
However, if you marry this girl, I won’t have to worry about you anymore.”
Seeing that his uncle spoke so highly of his blind date, Bu Xiaoshi was really moved.
After all, there are not many people who can be praised so highly by his uncle. This proves that his blind date must be a capable person.
Bu Xiaoshi asked worriedly, "Uncle, I don't have any skills and I'm not good-looking enough. How can someone like me when he's so powerful?"
Deng Shirong smiled and said, "You also have your advantages!"
“What are my advantages?”
“Having money at home is the biggest advantage.”
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
Deng Shirong said with emotion: "In this world, although money is not everything, but without money is absolutely impossible. As long as a man has money, he can marry any kind of wife. Anyway, you should not have any sense of superiority in front of this blind date, but you should also not feel inferior."
Bu Xiaoshi nodded and said, "Okay, I understand!"
…
Four o'clock in the afternoon.
In a clothing store, Yan Shuwen was selling a piece of clothing to a customer. She had a keen eye for observation, high emotional intelligence, and spoke very beautifully, making the customer feel embarrassed if he did not buy the clothing.
The result was naturally that the customer paid for the clothes.
After the customer left, Yan's mother said with emotion: "Xiao Wen, you are really amazing. The customer just now didn't really want to buy it, but you persuaded him to buy it in the end. Your sales ability is much better than mine."
Yan Shuwen smiled and said, "Mom, I have been specially trained and I know how to deal with people. As long as I grasp the customer's psychology, sales will naturally be twice as effective with half the effort. Mom, as long as you are good at summarizing experience, your sales ability will definitely become stronger and stronger."
Yan's mother said, "I'm old now, and my learning ability can't compare to you young people. Whether this clothing store is doing well or not depends on you. What I can do is to help you when you go to buy goods or have something to do."
Just as the mother and daughter were talking, another guest came in.
"Hello, I want...Uncle Deng!"
Seeing Deng Shirong come in, Yan Shuwen was a little surprised, but she reacted immediately and greeted him, "Uncle Deng, come and sit down."
Mother Yan also greeted him, "Brother Deng."
Deng Shirong waved his hand and smiled, "No need to sit. We've been in the car for half a day. I've brought my nephew here. How about we have dinner together tonight?"
Mother Yan said with a smile on her face: "Of course."
Yan Shuwen suddenly felt a little nervous when she heard this. The feeling was just like the first time she carried out a mission and dealt with prisoners. This made her feel a little unbelievable. She originally thought that the tempering of those years had made her calm and it would be difficult for anything to move her.
But it was really unexpected that a simple blind date made her nervous.
Next, the two parties agreed on the time and address for dinner, and Deng Shirong left.
After watching Deng Shirong leave, Yan's mother said hurriedly, "Xiao Wen, go back and dress up quickly. Make sure you dress up nicely. And by the way, tell your dad to go meet your blind date together."
Yan Shuwen nodded and said, "I understand. I'll go back now."
Only after her daughter came back did Yan's mother show an expectant expression. The whole family was very optimistic about her daughter's blind date.
I hope that this time, my daughter can really find someone who satisfies her.
…
6pm.
The Lingxiao Pavilion restaurant on the rooftop of Hong Kong Hotel.
Bu Xiaoshi finally met the blind date that his uncle praised so much. Yan Shuwen, who was dressed up carefully, was not as pretty as those female stars who were famous for their beauty, but in the eyes of ordinary people, she was already a real beauty.
With such a figure and appearance, coupled with an IQ that could be praised by his uncle, Bu Xiaoshi was instantly moved.
At this time, the three members of the Yan family were also looking at Bu Xiaoshi calmly.
Bu Xiaoshi was just of average appearance. When he came for the blind date, he followed his uncle's advice, cut a more sunny hairstyle, and changed into more trendy clothes. Although he didn't look particularly handsome, he was at least pleasing to the eye.
Men are different from women. A woman's biggest advantage is her figure and appearance, while a man's biggest advantage is his talent or power and wealth. As for figure and appearance, these are secondary things, as long as they are not ugly, it's fine.
Obviously, Bu Xiaoshi meets the requirements of the strict father and mother. He has decent looks and a good family background, so he is a perfect match for their daughter.
As for Yan Shuwen, the man's appearance naturally couldn't make her fall in love at first sight, but if Uncle Deng was not exaggerating, the economic conditions of the man's family were indeed very good. With such a family background and a good-looking appearance, there was a basis for continuing the contact.
Whether you can end up together or not depends on how much time you have to spend with each other to get to know each other better.
Deng Shirong had plenty of experience in matchmaking, and he was the one who led the conversation throughout the entire process. Plus, Yan Shuwen was also a talkative person, so there was naturally no chance of a dull moment.
Bu Xiaoshi also chatted with Yan Shuwen for a while. Before, he had only heard his uncle say how powerful she was, but he couldn't imagine how powerful she was. It was not until he actually talked to her that he understood what powerful meant.
No wonder his uncle said that if he was with her, he would be completely controlled by her. Now Bu Xiaoshi really felt the gap between him and her.
However, the more Bu Xiaoshi looked at this smart and resourceful girl, the more he liked her.
When it comes to choosing a spouse, different people have different choices. Some men just want to marry a woman who is obedient and submissive. It doesn't matter if the woman has a bad figure, is ugly, or even comes from a very poor family, as long as she obeys orders and doesn't talk back.
But some men don't want to work hard anymore and just want to marry a rich woman to achieve financial freedom. Even if this gigolo doesn't taste good or he even loses his dignity for it, he is happy with it.
Bu Xiaoshi was not very interested in women who were obedient to everything. He felt that he would have no common language with such women if he married them. He liked girls with distinct personalities like Yan Shuwen. Even if he would be controlled by others in the end, he would be willing to do so.
At the end of the blind date meal, Deng Shirong winked at his nephew.
Bu Xiaoshi understood and took out the red envelopes that he had prepared long ago, and then gave them to the three members of the Yan family one by one.
Mother Yan looked at the red envelope that Bu Xiaoshi handed over, then looked at Deng Shirong and asked, "Brother Deng, what is this?"
Deng Shirong explained with a smile: "Mother Yan, this is the rule over here. When you meet a girl for the first time, you have to give her a red envelope. Just accept it."
"How can this be so embarrassing?"
"This is a custom. There's nothing to be embarrassed about."
After some pushing and shoving, the three members of the Yan family finally accepted the red envelope.
Deng Shirong smiled and said, "Xiao Yan, this is my nephew's first time in Guilin. It's still early, why don't you take him out for a walk and see the night view of Guilin?"
Mother Yan had a good impression of her daughter's blind date, so she continued, "Xiao Wen, Xiao Shi has come from afar, you really should take him for a good look around."
Yan Shuwen looked at Bu Xiaoshi and said calmly, "Then let's go out for a walk together?"
Bu Xiaoshi nodded and said, "Okay, thank you for your help then."
So the two of them said hello to their elders and left the Hong Kong Hotel together.
In the urban area of Guilin, the most famous scenery is the Two Rivers and Four Lakes.
The two rivers and four lakes refer to the Li River, Taohua River, Mulong Lake (including Tiefotang), Gui Lake, Rong Lake and Shan Lake. The water system around the city is 7.33 kilometers long and has a water surface area of 385,900 square meters. The project was first formed during the Northern Song Dynasty (960-1127). At that time, Rong Lake, Shan Lake and Gui Lake were bustling with boats and tourists, and they were prosperous for a time.
Unfortunately, due to the passage of time, some lakes and ponds have been filled up.
It was not until the late 1990s that the local government proposed the idea of building a water system around Guilin City in order to recreate the prosperity of Guilin's "Water City" and restore Guilin's Song Dynasty water tour model. The idea was to connect the Li River, Taohua River, Rong Lake, Shan Lake, Gui Lake and Mulong Lake in the central area of Guilin, namely the "Two Rivers and Four Lakes" project.
Although the four lakes had basically disappeared in this era, the two rivers still existed. Yan Shuwen took Bu Xiaoshi to the famous Li River.
On the way, Bu Xiaoshi said admiringly: "Sister Yan, I heard from my uncle that you were a railway police officer before. You dealt with those vicious criminals for several years and destroyed countless criminal gangs. You are really amazing."
Yan Shuwen smiled and said, "No matter how powerful he is, he is not as powerful as your uncle. If I had encountered a criminal as smart as your uncle in those years, I would have ended up in a miserable situation."
Bu Xiaoshi laughed and said, "If those criminals were as smart as my uncle, they wouldn't have to commit such crimes. They could just do business honestly and make a lot of money."
Yan Shuwen was moved when she heard this and asked, "Brother Xiaoshi, from what you said, your uncle's business is very big?"
"Of course, my uncle has a big business!"
Bu Xiaoshi nodded and said, "If it weren't for my uncle's guidance, our family wouldn't be as prosperous as it is today!"
"It seems that your uncle is indeed a remarkable person. Would you like to tell me about his deeds?"
"That's convenient. Speaking of my uncle's history of making a fortune, we have to start from ten years ago..."
