Buyi watched his younger sister standing there, wearing a loose blue floral top and black pants, her large belly protruding, smiling sweetly at him in the afterglow of the setting sun.
For some reason, Bu Yi suddenly thought of his grandmother, and a moment of melancholy flashed in his eyes. However, he quickly regained his composure, stepped forward to support Bu Ling, and said with concern:
"Lingling, your belly is so big, why are you still going to work?"
"I'll stop after this month, and then I'll stay home to prepare for childbirth," Bu Ling replied obediently.
Buyi was not satisfied with her answer: "There's still half the month left, it's too dangerous."
“Yes, sister, the restaurant is full of all sorts of people. It would be bad if you got hurt,” Lü Zhiwei added, offering his advice.
Liang Boda retorted, "Little sister, we don't need that month's salary. Listen to me, your health is more important."
"Xiao Bu and the others are right, granddaughter-in-law, let Xiao Fang take your shift, I guarantee there won't be any problems!" Grandpa Sang also raised the banner of support.
Upon hearing this, Aunt Fang immediately declared, "Lingling, don't worry, I will definitely keep this job for you."
Looking at the concerned gazes around him, Bu Ling felt a slight stirring in his heart. He glanced at the figure 'concentrating' on cooking in the kitchen not far away and gritted his teeth: "Okay, I'll do as you say."
"Then let Aunt Fang go to work for you tomorrow?" Bu Yi asked, seizing the opportunity.
Bling: ...
Is there really such a rush?
Feeling the concern from her brother, she relented: "I have to take care of Aunt Fang for a few days, right?"
"No need, sister, with me here, don't you feel at ease?" Lü Zhiwei spoke up at the right time.
"Yes, Xiao Lü is here, Lingling, don't worry!" Aunt Fang reassured her.
"Alright then, I'll do as you say." What else could Bling do but accept it?
When Mulberry in the kitchen heard Bling agree, she breathed a huge sigh of relief.
Having achieved their goal, Bu Yi and the others ushered Bu Ling into the house. "Lingling, sit here for a while, I'll go help Sangshen."
"No need, no need, Xiao Bu. You and Lingling haven't seen each other for a long time. You two chat, I'll go." Aunt Fang said immediately.
“I’m going too!” Lü Zhiwei rolled up his sleeves and followed behind Fang’s wife.
Liang Boda didn't go with them; he and Bu Yi sat on either side of Bu Ling.
Bu Yi: "Lingling, be sure to tell me immediately if you feel unwell."
“Little sister, why don’t you come live with us in the family compound? It’s safer at the military hospital,” Liang Boda suggested.
“I know, brother.” Bu Ling answered Bu Yi first, then turned to Liang Boda and said, “No, I’d rather not. You’re all so busy. Going to the family compound would just mean me being alone. It’s better to stay here; at least someone will be with me.”
Liang Boda shut his mouth; this was indeed a problem.
“Besides, this place is very close to the hospital, so it’s convenient if anything happens,” Bu Ling continued.
“That’s true, the location of this courtyard is indeed quite good.” Liang Boda completely gave up the idea of having Bu Ling move back.
The three of them had indeed not seen each other for a long time, and they each told each other about their recent lives.
Bu Ling talked about work and family, and Liang Boda also talked about work and family, while Bu Yi listened quietly from the side.
An hour later, the food was served, and the three of them moved to their seats to continue chatting. The meal didn't end until the moon was high in the sky.
After finishing her meal, Buling went back to her room and fell into a deep sleep, not even noticing when Sangshen washed her feet and changed her clothes.
The next day, when Bu Ling woke up, the sun was already high in the sky.
Her first thought upon opening her eyes was that she was late for work! But it was okay, she wasn't afraid!
It wasn't until she came to her senses that she realized she no longer needed to go to work; Aunt Fang was taking her place.
I have to say, the feeling of happiness for working people who suddenly don't have to get up early for work is absolutely amazing.
She lay there feeling good for a while, then sat up. She was hungry!
With Sangshen gone, she had to fend for herself. She slowly dressed and put on her shoes before walking out of the house: "Grandpa, Uncle Lin."
"Granddaughter-in-law is awake? Are you hungry? Xiao Lin, hurry up and bring the food from the kitchen." Grandpa Sang didn't give Bu Ling a chance to speak at all.
Seeing this, Bling had no choice but to sit down at the table. As for brushing her teeth, she could do that after she finished eating.
Since she stopped working, Bling's life has felt empty.
When she was working, she was always busy with this and that, and time seemed to fly by. She looked forward to the two-day holiday every month.
Now that I don't have to work, I can sleep in all day long until I naturally wake up, and there's food waiting for me when I wake up. This is the life that working people dream of.
However, this kind of life can be considered a rest for a day or two, and it can be tolerated for a week, but if it goes on for a long time, people will be bored to death.
Before, when she was at work, she could chat with Sister Ma and the others, gossip and gossip. Now, it's just her, Grandpa Sang, and Uncle Lin at home.
As for Grandpa Sang, he's an elder, and aside from the usual concern for each other, there's not much for them to talk about.
Uncle Lin was even more boring. He always had a stern face and followed Grandpa Sang everywhere. He was not the type to chat idly at all.
In short, during her second week of maternity leave at home, Bling was incredibly bored and genuinely missed her cell phone, iPad, and computer.
That evening, Bling sidled up to Sangshen and said in a pitiful tone, "I'm so bored~"
With one hand touching Buling's protruding belly and the other serving as a pillow, Sangshen suggested, "How about I take a day off and stay home with you?"
Bu Ling choked: "Can't I go to work with you?"
Sangshen shook her head coldly: "No, the government building is too far from the hospital, I'm not comfortable with that."
