After finishing the snacks and barely filling her stomach, she handed the plate in her hand to the man beside her, "Brother Yan, I want to go out for a walk."
"Don't you want to take a break?" She just got up and was not in high spirits yet.
"No, I'll feel more energetic after a walk." Yuxiu shook her head.
Yan Rushan put the plate on the coffee table, helped her stand up and walked out; it was an October day, the weather was clear and the sun was shining brightly, making her feel warm without being too hot.
Zhong Yuxiu raised her head and closed her eyes to enjoy the rare beautiful sunshine. A breeze blew by, lifting a few strands of hair by her ears.
A large hand came down over her head, covering her eyes. She was forced to open them. She pulled his hand away and tilted her head to look at him. "It's very comfortable like this. The summer sun is warming, and the late autumn sun is just right."
"It's bad for your eyes." Yan Rushan said, "I won't let her look up again. You should bring an umbrella when you go out."
"It's not summer, why bring an umbrella?" Zhong Yuxiu half-pursed her lips, looking charming, and complained, "I came out to bask in the sun. Now that I'm blocked from the sun, why should I bask in it? It's such nice sunshine, it's good for pregnant women to bask in it more."
Yan Rushan couldn't convince her, so he held one of her hands with one hand and put his other arm around her shoulders, and walked slowly along the path in the sheep farm. He tried to choose shady places to prevent her from being exposed to too much sun, and used practical actions to tell her that he would not let her be exposed to the sun.
Zhong Yuxiu sulked unhappily, "Rushan, if you don't let me bask in the sun, I can still get it when you're not around."
"I will tell Comrade Gu Lingguo."
"What's the point of reminding me? I can still get some sunshine when I go back upstairs. Don't forget that our room faces the sun." It's right in front of the window.
Yan Rushan paused for a moment, then returned to normal. "It's okay. I won't leave your side for the next two months. Let Gu Lingguo do the shopping."
And he got into a fight with her!
"If you keep doing this, I'll be furious." He stopped, his face full of displeasure. "You have to control my food and drink, my clothes, and even my outings. You're as strict as a mountain. When I get angry, I'm afraid of myself."
Yan Rushan gently stroked her hairline with good temper and soothed her softly, "You've always had such a good temper. Grandma Luo said that women's tempers worsen after pregnancy. It's been more than eight months, and I haven't seen you lose your temper many times. It's good to vent like this, don't hold it in."
(????).
After talking for a long time, he just thought she was pregnant and had a bad temper.
Zhong Yuxiu was deflated, and once again had a profound understanding of his good temper. "Forget it, I won't leave. I'm going back to read."
"good."
She has a good temper and doesn't want to lose her temper.
When they got home, Yan Rushan sat her down on the sofa and brought her some snacks for her to pass the time. He also gave her a medical book. She had read all the medical books at home, but she was still in the habit of reading them over and over again.
The days passed peacefully.
Zhong Yuxiu was locked up at home every day, and the farthest place she went was the gate of the compound. Half a month passed like this. One morning, when the family was having breakfast, the phone suddenly rang.
Zhong Yuxiu paused, and Old Master Yan was also startled. "Who called so early in the morning?"
"I'll go answer it." Yan Rushan stood up and walked outside the dining room. He then went straight to the phone in the hall and quickly picked up the phone. "Hello, this is the Zhong family."
"Are you Professor Zhong's girlfriend? Four people came to the outside of the compound, saying they are Professor Zhong's parents and relatives." The voice was recognized as the young soldier at the gate.
"Hold on."
After hanging up the phone, Yan Rushan returned to the dining table, leaned over to her ear, and lowered his voice to say, "Wife, there are four people outside the compound. They say they are your parents and relatives. Do you want to meet them?"
Old Master Yan glanced at them. Yan Rushan’s business was very low, and he didn’t hear what they said.
"My relatives?" Zhong Yuxiu frowned.
Yuxiu's voice was so loud that everyone at the table heard it.
"Yes." Yan Rushan didn't lower his voice any more. "Do you want to see them? If not, just have them sent away. Don't worry about it."
He came to see her at this critical moment when Yuxiu was pregnant.
The first thing that came to Zhong Yuxiu's mind was Wan Yutong's face.
"Not for the time being." Yuxiu looked up at Gu Lingguo and Fang Guozhong, "Please contact Comrade Xi Nian and ask him to help investigate what's going on. I've been back in Beijing for three years, and now I've come to your door. The key is to find out who sent them here and what their purpose is."
Fang Guozhong and Gu Lingguo nodded quickly in agreement.
Yan Rushan returned to the hall and picked up the phone. "Just say Professor Zhong is away on a business trip. Don't reveal Professor Zhong's whereabouts for now. If they're willing to wait, they can come back in ten days."
"Yes." A loud response came from the phone. Yan Rushan thanked him and hung up.
After lunch, Fang Guozhong helped the two nannies clear the dishes on the table, while Gu Lingguo went to call Xi Nian. He told Xi Nian what Zhong Yuxiu had instructed him to do, got his agreement, and hung up the phone.
"Comrade Zhong, Comrade Xi Nian told us to wait two days and send the results of the investigation over as soon as they are available."
"Okay, I understand." Zhong Yuxiu nodded slightly. "Go to the gate of the compound and see if the people have been sent. Also, help me find out the names of the people who came this time."
"OK."
Gu Lingguo hurried out. Zhong Yuxiu looked at Yan Rushan and said, "Their sudden arrival may have something to do with Wan Yutong."
"Wan Yutong? The woman from the Wan family who forced you to go to the countryside?" Yan Rushan reacted belatedly. He had almost forgotten about such a person.
Old Master Yan, who was sitting on the sofa, asked, "Is the Wan family still pestering you?"
"We've gotten involved twice, but I haven't seen them since. The last time I went to the Medical University to relax, I saw Wan Yutong hanging out with some students. There were only a few I had a beef with. I usually stay at home, focusing on my research, so I've never offended anyone." He made a reasonable analysis, "Wan Yutong is the most suspicious. Otherwise, the Zhong family wouldn't know where I am or what I do. They wouldn't have come to the compound so quickly, and they wouldn't have even rashly left their hometown."
Based on previous investigations, she knew that the Zhong family's financial situation was not that bad, but it was definitely not that good; they could use Wan Yutong to exchange for the betrothal money, but in the end, Wan Yutong escaped and they couldn't find the talent.
The cost of traveling from a remote rural area in Province C to Beijing is too high; without two hundred yuan, it is impossible for four people to go to Beijing, and there are too many suspicious points.
"I haven't paid attention to the Wan family for a long time. I wonder if the Wan family has had any contact with Wan Yutong." Wan Yutong got married and was liquidated. She didn't have much money or connections, so it was impossible to find out where she lived. But the Wan family could. After the Wan family was rehabilitated, their property was returned. They had connections, so it wasn't difficult for them to find out where she went.
Old Master Yan also thought of this and said, "Then I'll have someone keep an eye on the Wan family and Wan Yutong."
"Grandpa, thank you, but there's no need to keep an eye on him for now. Comrade Xi Nian is here, and he will send someone to follow him." She could afford not to leave the compound for a month or two.
"That's right." Now is not a good time to reach out.
