Chapter 448: Just Playing to Coax the Child's Father
The sudden good news makes people's emotions fluctuate uncontrollably.
Sang Zhixia had clearly just gotten up, but after eating something and talking to Xu Yu for a while, she felt tired and soon fell asleep again.
Xu Yu's heart was beating fast and he didn't feel sleepy at all. He watched over Sang Zhixia until she fell asleep and then tiptoed out of the room. After thinking for a while, he went straight to the backyard where Qi Lao was.
"Oh, what a rare guest."
Old Qi waved his sleeves with an ambiguous expression and sat down in a different position. He looked at Xu Yu, who had come uninvited, and sarcastically replied, "Aren't you chasing after Xia girl? Where is she?"
"You're free to see other people now?"
Xu Yu rarely responded with a sarcastic retort. Instead, he bowed his head respectfully. "Zhizhi has finished her meal and rested. I came to ask you some questions."
The news that Sang Zhixia was pregnant was too sudden.
If it were at home, the elders in the family would know more and would naturally give advice on how to take care of the child.
But when you are away from home, you can't take care of so many things. Xu Yu can't find anyone who knows the business around him for the time being. The only person he can rely on for advice is Mr. Qi.
Old Qi chuckled, pointing to an empty stool and motioning Xu Yu to sit down.
Xu Yu walked over and sat down, and glanced at the paper and pen on the table with some surprise.
Old Qi guessed what he was thinking at a glance, tapped something on the table and said lazily, "If you don't understand, take it back and read it. If you still don't understand it, then eat some more pig brains. It's a way to replenish your body with like food."
Xu Yu accepted the ridicule without retorting. He picked up the notes on the table written by Old Qi and read them for a long time. He hesitated and said, "It's a long journey to the northwest. Can Zhizhi handle it?"
Mr. Qi did not answer but asked: "What if I can bear it, what if I can't bear it?"
"If she can handle it, then we can slow down the journey and enjoy the scenery all the way back. We should ensure her safety and not let her get tired. No matter how long it takes, we should go back slowly."
"If you can't handle it, then don't leave."
"Not leaving?"
Qi Lao asked subtly, "Aren't you anxious to go back? It's okay if you don't go back?"
"Special circumstances and special cases, there's no need to rush at this moment."
Without hesitation, Xu Yu said, "I've thought about it. This small town is too remote to be suitable for pregnancy, but the county town is another eighty miles ahead. We can buy a house there and live there temporarily until Zhizhi's condition stabilizes."
Old Qi took a sip from his teacup and said playfully, "If I rest until the day of delivery, wouldn't that delay me too long?"
"That's fine."
Xu Yu's mind was now filled with nothing but Sang Zhixia and the child in her belly, so he blurted out, "If this is more appropriate, then..."
“No need.”
Mr. Qi couldn't bear to listen any longer, so he waved his hand and said, "Although it's not advisable to run around when you're pregnant, as long as you're not too tired, it's good to move around a little."
"She and the child are both fine now. Don't be so cautious. I'll tell you if there's any problem. Don't scare yourself if there's nothing wrong."
Xu Yu's heart, which had been pounding, finally settled down a bit. His look of relief made Old Qi sneer, "It's a good thing that girl had the nerve to tell me you're a steady person."
That's it, does it have anything to do with stability?
Old Qi tutted his mouth in disdain and immediately drove the guest away: "Alright, take these and get out of here."
"Also, pregnant women are most afraid of emotional fluctuations and being frightened or angry. You should be more vigilant and don't let her suffer any shameful grievances."
Xu Yu's face was full of resignation. He stood up and nodded in agreement.
After he carefully walked away with the pile of papers in his arms, Mr. Qi narrowed his eyes, smiled, and shook his head: "Silly boy..."
The silly boy happily became a father.
Even though she hasn't seen the baby's face yet and doesn't know whether the baby in her belly is a boy or a girl, she has already taken extreme precautions, just waiting to take good care of the adults and children, for fear of any inconvenience.
Sang Zhixia was also happy.
But despite being happy, Sang Zhixia still felt that Xu Yu was a little too exaggerated.
Sang Zhixia looked at the floor and car walls, which were covered so tightly that the boards were almost invisible, with a look of confusion. She exhaled slowly, "Where did you get these blankets to cover the floor in such hot weather?"
Xu Yu helped Sang Zhixia sit down and raised the car window slightly to ensure that the wind could blow in but not too strong. He felt it again and again to confirm that it was okay before saying, "The ground is cold, so it's better to keep it apart."
Sang Zhixia pointed at the car wall and said, "But I'm in the car. The frame is still a long way from the ground. Where does the earth energy come from?"
Xu Yu silently poured a glass of warm water into the cup and said confidently, "Anyway, separate them first. If they are separated tightly, there should be no problem."
Sang Zhixia raised her eyebrows to acknowledge Xu Ou's crookedness. When he was about to put the pillow behind her waist, her eyebrows slowly rose. Although she felt that she would not use it, she still acknowledged Xu Ou's action.
"Aunt Xie said you went to seek advice from Master Qi. What else did you learn?"
Xu Yu put the specially made soft pillow away and said without looking up, "I didn't learn anything, just some things I need to pay attention to."
"Are your feet hurting? Why don't you change your shoes now?"
Seeing the shoes that Xu Yu took out were two sizes larger, Sang Zhixia was silent for a moment and nodded in agreement: "I think it's okay."
Xu Yu was busy for a long time and finally managed to put everything he could remember in place. For the time being, he could not see anything else.
Sang Zhixia found an excuse and said that she wanted to eat some fruit. Xu Yu was so excited that he immediately grabbed the whip and got off the car to look for it.
Aunt Xie was watching quietly from the side, and was very tactful not to interrupt.
When the sound of horse hooves became distant, he could not help but laugh and said, "Women's hands and feet will swell in the later stages of pregnancy, but you are less than two months pregnant, so it's still early. My son-in-law is a little too nervous."
Old Qi treated Sang Zhixia as his daughter, and Aunt Xie and others also recognized Sang Zhixia as their master, so they simply respectfully called Xu Yu "son-in-law".
Mr. Qi tacitly accepted this name, and Xu Yu himself didn't care.
But every time Sang Zhixia heard it, she wanted to laugh: "Forget it, let him do what he wants, so that he won't keep staring at me."
Ever since he knew she was pregnant, Xu Yu seemed calm, but in fact he started to act weird.
During the day, he did nothing but circle around Sang Zhixia. At night, he did not sleep but stared at Sang Zhixia's face and belly with his big eyes without blinking.
Mr. Qi decided to rest in the inn for five days.
For five whole days, Xu Yu had no appetite and could not sleep at night. All his thoughts were on Sang Zhixia, and he began to dislike everything around Sang Zhixia.
From big things like whether the bed is hard or small things like a stone on the ground, everything can prick Xu Yu's eyes.
If possible, Xu Yu would have wanted to pull out all the blankets in the carriage and spread them out ten miles away. He would be so scared that his breath would be held in shock at the slightest movement.
It’s impossible to preach in this situation, so it’s better to just let him be.
Anyway, no matter how much trouble Xu Yu makes, he will only be troubled by himself. If she cooperates with Xu Yu more, she will be happy for a long time. She can just treat it as coaxing the father of her child.
Sang Zhixia doesn't mind the effort.
