Gu Lingguo walked to the gate of the compound and saw four people in patched clothes wandering at the gate from afar. A young soldier was standing at the gate. He walked to the gate and saluted the soldier on duty inside the gate. Only after the soldier on duty returned the salute did he speak.
"Hello, comrade. I am Comrade Zhong Yuxiu's guard."
"Hello." The young soldier said hurriedly, his expression so restrained that it was barely noticeable. He looked at Gu Lingguo with envy and pointed at the people outside. "That group of people claimed to be Comrade Zhong's family. When we asked them about Comrade Zhong's basic situation, they were vague. We wanted to send them away, but they refused to leave."
"Don't worry about them. I'm here to ask, can you tell me their names?" When you get here, the staff on duty will ask for their names and basic information. This is basic operation.
"I know. The leaders are called Zhong Jing and Feng Jianhong. The man over there is called Zhong Jiaquan, and the other woman is called Bai Lian."
As the young soldier spoke, Gu Lingguo went to identify him. After he had done so, he felt relieved. "Thank you, comrade. We will go back first. If they still don't leave, tell them that Comrade Zhong is not at home. He is on a business trip and will be gone for ten days."
"I understand." The young soldier, seeing that he was easy to talk to, said, "Tell Comrade Zhong to be more careful. This family doesn't look like good people."
"Okay, thank you."
Gu Lingguo saluted again and turned away neatly.
Back at the Zhong family, Gu Lingguo explained the situation to Zhong Yuxiu, who simply nodded. "I understand. Thank you for your hard work. Sit down and rest for a while."
"No, I'll go to the kitchen to see if there's anything else I can help with." Waving his hand, Gu Lingguo hurried to the kitchen.
Only Old Master Yan, Yan Rushan and Zhong Yuxiu were left in the hall. Gu Lingguo and Wang Daya were showing off, and Fang Guozhong and Gong Zhaodi were not allowed to come over to serve tea.
Old Master Yan said, "Let's send them away first, Yuxiu, don't think too much. If they come to visit you, we will treat them well. If they have other ideas, grandpa will come forward to deal with them." These people don't come early or late, they choose the time, right?
"Okay, thank you, Grandpa." The old man was kind enough to comfort her, and Zhong Yuxiu understood. If it was the latter, she could send him away. To be considered the best, one must be even better than them. "You should take a nap first. Brother Yan and I will go upstairs and rest for a while."
"become."
Old Master Yan looked at her several times, and seeing that she looked calm, he felt relieved and went to wash up and return to his room.
Zhong Yuxiu and Yan Rushan then went to the bathroom to wash up, then went upstairs to lie on the bed. Zhong Yuxiu, as calm as ever, finally spoke slowly, "Brother Yan, tell me, was it Wan Yutong or someone else?"
"It could be, or it could be someone else." Beneath the calm surface of Shangjing, there had been constant turmoil. People abroad had been searching for the factors behind their country's rapid rise in the past two years, and it was very likely they had already found Yuxiu. "I can't let you go out anymore. Let Gu Lingguo and Aunt Wang buy the food and drinks. I'll stay home with you."
"There's no need. If I don't go out, how can they come in?" The protection factor of the compound is still very high, otherwise, the higher-ups would not have arranged for her to come in.
Yan Rushan leaned against the headboard and shook his head slowly, "I'll accompany you. The weather is cool today, let's wear more clothes and walk outside. It's almost nine months, and the baby will be born at any time, so you have to keep it smaller in the future."
Yan Rushan would not change his decision easily. Zhong Yuxiu was too lazy to argue with him. She would not refuse someone who doted on her so much.
After she fell asleep, Yan Rushan went downstairs and made a phone call, telling Cheng San and others to manage the company's affairs during this period; he would not have time to go to the company for a month or two, and would wait until his wife gave birth.
"Boss, don't worry, we will take care of it. When can we come to see your sister-in-law? She's about to give birth, right?" The person who answered the phone was Wu Er, Wu Chao.
"Don't come. If you come, your sister-in-law will be exhausted again. She will have to take care of the baby after the birth." When they came, the daughter-in-law would definitely sit with them and treat them to food and drinks. When talking with his brothers, Yan Rushan's nervous mood was temporarily relaxed. "You must bring a big gift when the time comes. If you don't bring a small gift, you won't be allowed in."
Wu Chao laughed heartily. "Of course, I'll definitely give you a big gift and a big red envelope. We've been so busy that we haven't been able to visit my sister-in-law. When the baby is born, the eldest brother must notify us as soon as possible."
"must."
After saying a few more words and hanging up the phone, Yan Rushan went back upstairs and lay down next to Yuxiu, staying with her even if he didn't want to sleep.
After waking up, Yuxiu got up and put on the spring and autumn clothes she bought in May. It was a double-layered red coat. She didn't know until she put it on that it seemed too loose when she bought it.
She lowered her head, pulled at her clothes, and walked dejectedly, "It's over, I've gained weight."
"She's not fat. The clothes fit her just right." Yan Rushan pulled her into his arms, held her shoulders, and kissed her on the cheek. "My wife was too thin before, but now she's better. She has a little more flesh on her body."
"Really?" Zhong Yuxiu looked at him suspiciously for a few times, then lowered her head and touched her belly, knowing that she had really gained weight. "I need to lose weight after giving birth. I have fat on my body, and clothes don't look good on me.
Her aesthetic does not allow her to be fat.
"Not fat, just a little rounder." Yan Rushan smiled and held her paw on her lower abdomen.
Yuxiu shook her head repeatedly, her voice sounding like a spoiled child, "Even roundness won't work."
"I like you to be rounder." He didn't understand her insistence; he only knew that his wife should be good-looking no matter what, and what was important was that she was healthy.
"Maybe you didn't like how I looked before, thin?"
A fatal question.
Yan Rushan hurriedly shook his head, "No, I like you all, no matter if you're fat or thin, as long as you're me, I love you. But if you're thin, it's just a bunch of bones and it's uncomfortable to hold you in my arms."
"I really don't like it."
"That's not true, wife, don't misinterpret me..." This is really true, his wife is a bit unreasonable.
Zhong Yuxiu snorted and decided not to argue with him anymore. Men are really all the same; they are good at everything before marriage, but become picky after marriage.
She was unhappy, and he felt bad too.
Yan Rushan apologized carefully, and it took him a long time to coax her into silence. "Wife, we should go downstairs. Let Goudan make you some hot juice before we go for a walk. The weather is getting colder, and you can't have any more cold drinks."
"It's not good when it's hot. It doesn't taste right."
"There's nothing we can do about it. Just bear with it. It will be over soon." The heated juice really didn't taste as good as the cold one. It was the middle of October now, and she couldn't be allowed to eat cold food without restraint.
Zhong Yuxiu also understood this logic and endured it for the sake of the child in her belly; but the benefits still had to be discussed.
“Fruit cannot be heated.”
"Okay, okay, the fruit won't be heated, but you should eat less."
Zhong Yuxiu accepted it and knew that no matter how much she resisted, it was useless, so she gave up; with a man by her side, there was someone who cared about her well-being, and she was trying to rely on him little by little.
