During her pregnancy, Gu Yunxi suddenly developed a strong craving for certain foods, especially that night when she suddenly had a strong craving for stinky tofu. This sudden appetite made her feel somewhat helpless, especially since it was late at night and most shops were closed, making it difficult to find any snack shops still open.
Seeing the longing in Gu Yunxi's eyes, He Siyan decided to do his best to fulfill her wish. He put on his coat, kissed Gu Yunxi's forehead, and said gently, "Yunxi, wait for me at home. I'll go look for some stinky tofu and see if I can buy any."
He Siyan drove through the night streets, all the shops already closed, and his anxiety grew with each passing moment. He knew that a pregnant woman's appetite could be unpredictable, and he hoped to find something Gu Yunxi wanted to eat.
After searching for several hours, He Siyan still couldn't find any snack shops still open. He felt a little frustrated, but he didn't give up and decided to go home to see if they had any stock.
Since Gu Yunxi and He Siyan have moved out, their daily lives have become more independent, and they have fewer opportunities to cook at home. Under these circumstances, when Gu Yunxi suddenly misses certain foods from home, He Siyan suggests going back to his mother's house to see if there's anything she wants to eat.
He Siyan said to Gu Yunxi, "Yunxi, we haven't been back to my home in a long time. Why don't we go back and take a look? Maybe Mom has some things you want to eat."
Gu Yunxi thought it was a good idea and nodded: "Okay, Siyan, I also miss my mother's cooking. Let's see if they have any stinky tofu."
So, the two arranged a weekend to drive to He Siyan's parents' house. Upon arrival, they were warmly welcomed by Huang Haitang and He Zhiqiang.
Huang Haitang was overjoyed to see her son and daughter-in-law return: "Siyan, Yunxi, you've come back just in time. I made some delicious food yesterday, come in and have a taste."
He Siyan asked his mother, "Mom, do we still have any stinky tofu at home? Yunxi suddenly really wants some."
Huang Haitang thought for a moment, then smiled and said, "I remember there are still some left from what I bought last time, I'll take them to you now."
A moment later, Huang Haitang brought out a box of stinky tofu from the kitchen and handed it to Gu Yunxi. Gu Yunxi took the stinky tofu and said gratefully, "Thank you, Mom, you're so thoughtful."
He Siyan also expressed his gratitude to his mother: "Mom, you always think of our needs."
Afterwards, the family sat around the dining table and enjoyed the food prepared by Huang Haitang. Gu Yunxi also tasted a few pieces of stinky tofu, satisfying his appetite.
As it was late, and the delicious stinky tofu had made Gu Yunxi feel satisfied but also sleepy, she couldn't help but yawn a few times, looking somewhat tired. He Siyan noticed his wife's condition and suggested, "Yunxi, you look very tired. Let's stay here today; it's quite a distance to go back to our own home."
Gu Yunxi rubbed her eyes and nodded: "Okay, Si Yan, I do feel a little sleepy, so I won't go back tonight."
Hearing their conversation, Huang Haitang expressed her support: "It's so late, don't bother. Your room is always cleaned, and the sheets and blankets are clean. Just go and rest."
He Zhiqiang nodded in agreement: "Yes, let's stay and rest. It's not too late to go back tomorrow morning."
He Siyan and Gu Yunxi thanked their parents for their understanding and decided to stay overnight at the He family home. Although they didn't stay in their room often, Huang Haitang always kept it clean, ensuring that the children were always ready to come home.
The two went upstairs to their room, which was decorated warmly and comfortably, giving it a homey feel. He Siyan helped Gu Yunxi make the bed to ensure she could rest comfortably.
Gu Yunxi lay in bed, feeling the softness of the mattress and the comfort of the familiar surroundings, and soon drifted off to sleep. He Siyan also changed into his pajamas, lay down beside her, gently held her hand, and they both fell into a deep sleep.
The decision to spend the night at the He family's house saved the young couple from the inconvenience of driving late at night, and also gave them the opportunity to enjoy the warmth of family and the love of their parents. For them, the night was comfortable and cozy.
Gu Yunxi spent a peaceful night at the He family's house, and the next morning, she slept soundly in her warm, soft bed. She only gradually awoke when sunlight streamed through the curtains and shone on her face. Stretching, she felt refreshed and in high spirits.
Going downstairs to the kitchen, Gu Yunxi found that her parents-in-law and He Siyan had already gone to work, and the house was quiet and peaceful. The housekeeper who helped the He family with cooking heard the noise and poked her head out of the kitchen. Seeing Gu Yunxi, she greeted her warmly, "Miss Gu, good morning. Did you sleep well? Are you hungry? I've been keeping breakfast warm for you in the pot. Would you like to eat now?"
Gu Yunxi smiled and nodded: "Good morning, Auntie. Thank you, I am indeed a little hungry, thank you for your help."
The auntie smiled and replied, "No trouble at all, it's my pleasure. Please have a seat, I'll go prepare it for you right away."
The aunt quickly served Gu Yunxi a sumptuous breakfast, including steaming hot porridge, fresh side dishes, and some pastries. Gu Yunxi sat at the table, enjoying the delicious breakfast, her heart filled with gratitude.
After breakfast, Gu Yunxi helped the housekeeper clear the table, but the housekeeper waved her hand repeatedly, saying, "Miss Gu, you don't need to do it, I can do it."
Gu Yunxi insisted on helping: "Auntie, it's okay, I'm just killing time anyway."
With her aunt's company, Gu Yunxi spent a relaxing and pleasant morning. She sent He Siyan a message to tell him that she had already had breakfast at the He family's house and thanked his family for taking care of her.
He Siyan quickly replied to the message: "Yunxi, enjoy your time at home and don't worry about me. I'll be back early tonight and take you for a walk."
Gu Yunxi felt a warmth in her heart. She knew that no matter where she was, the love and support of her family would always be her strongest backing.
After enjoying a hearty breakfast, Gu Yunxi felt cheerful, but also a little bored. She decided to turn on the TV and find something to watch to pass the time.
A large-screen TV was mounted on the wall in the living room. She picked up the remote and pressed the power button. The TV screen lit up, and she began browsing the channels, looking for a program that interested her.
Gu Yunxi first watched the news for a while to learn about current events at home and abroad. Then, she switched to a channel that was playing a lighthearted variety show. Watching the celebrities interacting humorously on the screen, a smile unconsciously appeared on her face.
The humorous dialogues and fun games on the show made Gu Yunxi feel relaxed and happy. She leaned back on the sofa, enjoying this rare moment of leisure. Occasionally, she would pick up her phone and share some interesting clips from the show with He Siyan.
The TV program also included some lectures on pregnancy knowledge. Gu Yunxi watched attentively and took notes on some pregnancy health and nutrition tips, preparing to discuss them with her family and doctor.
Time flew by unnoticed, and Gu Yunxi felt that television programs not only provided her with entertainment but also taught her some useful knowledge. She was grateful for the freedom her family gave her, allowing her to stay at home, rest peacefully during her pregnancy, and enjoy life.
