Gong Mufeng was too lazy to pay attention to Xiao Yichen's complaints. He did not dare to delay for a moment and immediately asked the leader for a half-month long vacation. Xiao Yichen was so angry that he stomped his feet and cursed Gong Mufeng in his heart, saying that he had forgotten his brothers after getting a wife.
After getting approval from his superiors, Gong Mufeng was eager to return home. He packed his luggage without stopping and set off on the journey home as quickly as possible.
Fortunately, this time the troops stayed in Beijing, not far from home, and they returned to their own courtyard in less than a day.
When he arrived at the door of his house, he didn't even have time to catch his breath before he strode in, fully expecting to see Lin Yuexi at first sight and spend some time with her.
But when he looked around the room, he couldn't see Lin Yuexi, and his joy was instantly replaced by worry.
He hurried to find Aunt Zhang, with a hint of anxiety in his voice: "Aunt Zhang, where is Yuexi? Where did she go?"
Aunt Zhang hurried over and explained, "Mufeng, Yuexi is still going to the clinic to see patients.
This child of hers is restless and always says she is worried about the patients in the clinic."
Hearing this, Gong Mufeng stamped his feet anxiously, his brows tightly twisted into the shape of a "川" character, and his face was full of worry and helplessness.
"It's already this late, and she's still working so hard even though she's pregnant!" Gong Mufeng muttered softly while asking Zhang Ma for the address of the clinic.
After learning the address, he turned around and ran outside, came to the yard, and quickly got on his bicycle.
He pedaled hard, the wheels spun rapidly, kicking up dust along the way.
The trees and houses on the street were rapidly receding, but he ignored them all. He had only one thought in his mind - to see Lin Yuexi as soon as possible and persuade her to go home and take good care of her pregnancy.
Along the way, Gong Mufeng's mind kept appearing Lin Yuexi's busy figure, and he was worried that her body couldn't take it.
When he arrived at the clinic door, he hurriedly stopped his bicycle, and before the bicycle had stopped, he rushed into the clinic eagerly.
Gong Mufeng rushed into the clinic and saw Lin Yuexi sitting at the table taking the patient's pulse. Her face was always focused and gentle, but in Gong Mufeng's eyes, there was fatigue that could not be concealed.
"Yuexi!" Gong Mufeng shouted loudly, with a hint of anger and heartache in his voice. The patients and other staff in the clinic all looked at him in surprise.
Lin Yuexi raised her head when she heard the voice and saw Gong Mufeng standing at the door. A hint of surprise flashed across her eyes, but it was quickly replaced by a hint of panic.
She comforted the patient in front of her, stood up and walked to Gong Mufeng, and said softly: "Mufeng, why are you back? You didn't even tell me in advance."
Gong Mufeng looked at her with a frown on his face, his tone full of worry: "You're still asking me? You're pregnant, why are you still busy here? You don't even know how to take care of yourself!"
Lin Yuexi lowered her head slightly and explained in a low voice: "I just can't let go of these patients, and I think my body can handle it."
Gong Mufeng took her hand and walked out of the clinic without saying anything: "No, you are pregnant now, you have to take care of your health.
Put these tasks aside for now and come home with me." Lin Yuexi hesitated a little. She looked at the patients who were still waiting in the clinic, then looked at Gong Mufeng's determined eyes, and finally nodded.
She turned to her colleagues in the clinic and said, "Thank you for your hard work. I will be leaving today. I will leave the patients to you."
On the way home, Gong Mufeng left his bicycle at the clinic and drove directly to Lin Yuexi's jeep. He drove very slowly, and looked back at Lin Yuexi sitting in the passenger seat from time to time, his eyes full of concern.
After returning home, Gong Mufeng helped Lin Yuexi sit down on the sofa, and then personally poured her a glass of warm water.
He sat down next to Lin Yuexi, held her hand, and said earnestly: "Yuexi, I know you love this job and have a sense of responsibility, but you are now two lives, I am really worried about you."
Lin Yuexi leaned on Gong Mufeng's shoulder and said softly, "I know you are doing this for my own good. I will pay attention to it in the future. But I always feel uneasy when I suddenly put down my work."
Gong Mufeng gently touched her head and said, "Don't worry, let other doctors take care of the clinic! Just focus on taking care of your baby now and don't worry about anything else."
At this time, Gong Ziyan and Gong Xiyun heard the noise and ran out. Seeing Gong Mufeng, the two children rushed over excitedly: "Dad, you're back!"
Gong Mufeng smiled and picked up the two children, saying, "Dad is back to accompany you and mom. From now on, you have to take care of mom together with dad, okay?"
Gong Ziyan and Gong Xiyun nodded vigorously and said in unison: "Okay!"
That night, the family sat around the dining table for dinner. Aunt Zhang specially prepared many light dishes that Lin Yuexi liked, and also prepared nourishing soups.
During the meal, Gong Mufeng kept picking up food for Lin Yuexi and told her to eat more.
Gong Ziyan and Gong Xiyun also sat obediently beside them, telling their mother interesting things at school from time to time, which made Lin Yuexi smile.
Gong Mufeng finally took a half-month long vacation and returned home, thinking about taking good care of the pregnant Lin Yuexi and letting her rest assured and take care of the baby, but Lin Yuexi had other ideas.
That day, after Lin Yuexi finished her breakfast, she looked at Gong Mufeng who was busy at the side and said softly: "Mufeng, you don't let me go to the clinic to see patients, and I feel uncomfortable when I am idle. I thought, let's go out and look at houses together in the next few days."
Gong Mufeng looked at her with a puzzled look, stopped what he was doing, and asked, "Looking for a house? We live well in our courtyard house, why do we need to go look for a house?"
Lin Yuexi smiled and took Gong Mufeng's hand, patiently explaining: "Now some houses can be bought with money, and some can be exchanged for food. This opportunity is rare. When the policy allows in the future, we will go to apply for the certificate. This is a good investment, maybe it will come in handy in the future."
Gong Mufeng scratched his head. Although he still didn't quite understand, he was well aware of Lin Yuexi's intelligence and unique vision. The decisions she made in the past were always based on long-term considerations. Since she insisted so much, she must have her reasons.
Thinking of this, Gong Mufeng nodded firmly and said, "Okay, Yuexi, since you have made up your mind, I will fully support you."
In the following days, Gong Mufeng accompanied Lin Yuexi everywhere.
They shuttled through the streets and alleys of Beijing, not missing any possible housing information.
Wherever she went, Lin Yuexi carefully checked the structure, orientation, and surrounding environment of the house, and patiently bargained with the seller.
Once, they found a courtyard in the old city. The courtyard was not big, but very quiet, with several quaint houses.
The seller insisted on selling at a high price at first, but Lin Yuexi was not in a hurry and talked to the seller about the current situation of the house and its future development, and also mentioned the preciousness of grain at present. After some clever negotiations, they finally reached an agreement on a relatively reasonable price, part of which was paid in cash and part was exchanged for grain.
