Jiang Yiming knew that the place he was renovating was originally Xu Nuannuan's courtyard house, so he had to be more careful and meticulous to decorate it beautifully to satisfy Xu Nuannuan.
The four bricklayers can start work even though all the decoration materials have not been purchased yet. They need to do some preparatory work inside first.
The two of them are in charge here. Fang Suyun also came to see it. They wanted Xu Nuannuan to rest assured at home and take care of her pregnancy, so they didn't let her come here.
Old Mrs. Guan and Fang Suyun stayed at home with Xu Nuannuan, and basically didn't let her do anything except eating.
But Xu Nuannuan is someone who can't stay home all the time. If she is asked to stay at home all the time and do nothing, and not allowed to walk around, she will be bored to death.
"Mom, Grandma, I want to go and take a look at our courtyard. I want to tell the workers how to decorate that area. What if their decoration is not to my liking?"
"But you're not meant to be running around."
"I'm not just running around. I'm just going to take a look at the courtyard. Well, even when pregnant, I need to get the right amount of exercise, otherwise it's not good for me or the baby. I also need to go out and breathe some fresh air and bask in the warm sunshine. It's good for my body and the baby. Grandma, Mom, you may not know this yet, but this is called scientific fetal care. Children raised scientifically will be healthier and more lively."
Fang Suyun and Old Lady Guan listened to what she said and found it very logical. They had nothing to say, so they nodded.
Mrs. Guan said, "Back then, when we were taking care of our pregnancies, we always told women to sit instead of standing if they could, and to lie down instead of sitting. I guess that's unscientific. We should move around a bit. No wonder I had some difficulty giving birth twice. If I had exercised a bit while pregnant, it might have helped with the birth."
"That's right, grandma is right. Look at how good she is at understanding things. If I don't exercise, I'm afraid I'll feel uncomfortable during childbirth."
Fang Suyun also said, "When I was pregnant with Nuannuan, I was working and trying my best to rest. She wanted to move around. But, it's true, if you don't move at all, you'll feel uncomfortable all over. Besides, when I gave birth to Nuannuan, it was really quick, so I didn't suffer much."
"Yeah, so if you want me to exercise, let's go to the courtyard now."
"Let's go, let's take care of the fetus scientifically, hahaha."
The three of them took the bus to the alley where the courtyard was located. Before they reached the courtyard, they saw Grandpa Guan sitting at the door.
When the old man saw the four of them coming, he complained, "Why are you here, especially Nuannuan? Didn't I tell you to stay home? This place is all lime and cement, it's dirty and smells bad."
"Grandpa, I just came over to take a look and will be gone in a moment."
"Nuannuan is feeling bored at home. She should come out for a walk with us. It's not scientific to stay still at all," said Mrs. Guan.
"Wow, you also understand science." Grandpa Guan laughed.
"Of course, that's what Nuannuan and I learned. We should all pay attention to science in the future."
They arrived at the yard, where Xu Zhenqing was supervising the work. Xu Nuannuan walked into one of the rooms and saw Jiang Yiming in the room.
Jiang Yiming stood on the scaffolding, holding a shovel in his hand, cleaning the old wall paint. His expression was focused and serious, his movements were skillful and professional, like a veteran who was used to this job.
Xu Nuannuan didn't say anything. She stood for a while and prepared to go out. At this time, Jiang Yiming turned around and saw Xu Nuannuan standing on the ground. Suddenly, his eyes lit up and he grinned. His tanned face and white teeth made his smile look simple and unpretentious.
"Xu, Comrade Xu, you're here."
This time, because his attention was diverted, his body leaned to the side, causing his center of gravity to become unstable and he almost fell off the scaffolding.
He didn't expect to meet Xu Nuannuan today. He was in such a sloppy state that he hadn't even had time to go home and clean up.
"You'd better stand firm first." Xu Nuannuan said to him.
Jiang Yiming quickly steadied himself and continued looking at Xu Nuannuan with a smile.
"Comrade Xu, I'm so glad to see you again."
Xu Nuannuan was indifferent: "Maybe you are happy, but I don't feel that happy. You are the bricklayer my grandfather hired. You should work hard. I'm leaving now."
"Xu, Comrade Xu."
Xu Nuannuan was about to turn around and leave when Jiang Yiming suddenly heard someone outside calling her, "Nuannuan, come out quickly. There's dirt and dust all over the place. Don't smell these things when you're pregnant."
"Okay, Grandma, I'm out."
Xu Nuannuan left, leaving Jiang Yiming alone on the scaffolding, staring at the direction of the room door, unable to come back to his senses for a long time.
Did he just hear it wrong?
Is there something wrong with his ears?
Xu Nuannuan is pregnant.
How did she get pregnant?
Is the child she is pregnant with that soldier? When did they get married?
Too fast!
It all happened so fast that he couldn't react at all. It was like a dream, and a nightmare at that.
He remembered that he had met Xu Nuannuan a month ago, and she must have been married at that time.
She got married and had children.
There is no hope for her and me after all!
There is no hope!
There is no hope!
Tears fell like beads with broken strings, and my heart felt like it was being tightly gripped by someone.
Suddenly, several people outside heard a bang coming from a room, as if something heavy had hit the ground.
A few people were worried about something happening, so they ran in and saw Jiang Yiming fallen to the ground with tears in his eyes and on his face.
