Goudan was squatting in front of the computer working miserably, while Yan Rushan had already taken Zhong Yuxiu downstairs.
Tian Shangguo and Haonan, who were serving dishes, heard the noise and looked in the direction of the sound, their eyes lit up with joy. "Comrade Zhong, you're here. Goudan made sweet wine dumplings today, and you happen to like them."
Starting from two months ago, Zhong Yuxiu often did not come down to eat dinner and stayed in the laboratory all day long; sometimes she even slept in the laboratory. This was said by Yan Rushan. They were really afraid that she would ruin her health. Fortunately, Comrade Yan Rushan was watching over her, so the situation did not develop to an uncontrollable level.
At least she still knew to brush her teeth, wash her face, take a shower, and change her clothes on time.
"I'm hungry."
Her pretty face was wooden, and Haonan and Tian Shangguo strangely read out words such as aggrieved and wanting to eat.
"It will be ready to eat. Go rest on a chair in the dining room for a while. I'll get you some sweet soup." Yan Rushan couldn't bear to see her looking so aggrieved, so he went to the kitchen after giving her instructions and quickly brought back a bowl of sweet wine dumplings. Seeing that she didn't go to the dining room, he took her there.
When they arrived at the dining room, Yan Rushan placed her on a stool and handed the small bowl in front of her. "Eat a little first to fill your stomach. Later, you can have some sweet wine with your dishes. Otherwise, if you drink too much sweet wine, you won't be able to eat the meat or dishes."
"I understand." Yuxiu picked up the spoon placed on the edge of the bowl and put the soup into her mouth in small sips; the most important thing about sweet wine is the soup, and the rice balls are secondary. The soup is the most delicious.
She ate with satisfaction, and Yan Rushan smiled helplessly; when Haonan and Goudan brought the dishes to the table, he picked up a piece of meat dish for her with his chopsticks first.
"Change the taste."
"Thank you." He took the meat into his mouth with his chopsticks. A fishy smell rushed into his taste buds and rushed straight into his mind. "Ugh..."
I vomited everything I just ate.
Yan Rushan's pupils constricted, and he pulled the person into his arms. "What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell, or something? Why are you vomiting? Let's go to the hospital."
"No, no need." Holding his shoulder, Zhong Yuxiu placed her left hand on her right wrist and frowned. She switched hands again, placing her right hand on her left wrist. This pulse...
"Yuxiu."
"Wife, are you talking? Is there something wrong with your health?" She has been staying up late for the past two months, and his first guess is that she has damaged her body.
Haonan stared at her nervously and said, "Let's go to the hospital. I'll call our superiors right away and we'll go directly to the military hospital. They have complete equipment there and you can make an appointment in advance with an experienced doctor to see you." As he said that, he started to move.
Tian Shangguo stood aside, his eyes filled with worry, staring at people intently.
"It's okay, it's okay, don't bother." Zhong Yuxiu waved her hands repeatedly, "Comrade Hao, there's no need to call. I know what's wrong with my body."
Haonan paused and turned around to look, "Can you tell by taking the pulse?"
"I'm really fine. I'm not sick or in any trouble. You can rest assured. I'm not someone who takes my health lightly." Zhong Yuxiu pursed her lips, her expression unnatural.
"You don't look well..." Haonan was about to say that it would be better to go to the hospital, but Tian Shangguo pulled him back and said, "Comrade Zhong, please tell us what's going on with you. We can have a better idea of what's going on. If there's anything wrong, you should see a doctor immediately."
Zhong Yuxiu looked up at Yan Rushan, and her gaze met his nervous, worried, and caring one, which warmed her heart. She lowered her head, coughed lightly, and whispered.
"Well, it's nothing serious... I'm just pregnant." She closed her eyes and steeled herself to tell him the pulse condition she had diagnosed.
It's so embarrassing, I have to let her say it.
Tian Shangguo's eyes were dull, "Pregnant?"
"Pregnant what?" Haonan was confused, with confusion in his eyes.
Yan Rushan's thin lips trembled a few times, and he slowly squatted down, holding her soft hand tightly, and asked cautiously: "Does it mean you are pregnant?"
Opening her eyes and looking into those deep eyes, which revealed anticipation and joy, Zhong Yuxiu nodded.
"More than two months."
"Ha." He exhaled to ease his emotions, and Yan Rushan's eyes were filled with tears. He put his face on her knees, "Yuxiu."
"Um?"
"young married woman."
"exist."
"Xiu'er."
"Just say it if you have something to say." Zhong Yuxiu finally became impatient. Why did this person suddenly become so annoying?
He raised his head from her knees, stretched out his hands, and hugged her; Yan Rushan looked at her steadily, with a smile on his lips and a face full of tenderness and friendship.
"Thank you, wife. And thank you for your hard work." Fortunately, the work was done and she and the child were fine. "Let's not be so busy from now on, okay? Take a year off and have the baby peacefully. In the future, you can do whatever you want, as long as it's safe for your health, I won't stop you."
Well, it’s not easy for him to remember the danger to his health at this moment.
Was she really that troublesome? She thought she was quite sensible, not so willful as to require him to keep an eye on her all the time, right?
"Yuxiu, promise me." He was afraid of everyone. He wondered if he had hurt himself in the past two months. "We still have to go to the hospital. We've been busy all year long, especially these past two months. We haven't been eating or sleeping well. Let's go get a checkup and feel at ease."
Zhong Yuxiu held him back and said, "No, you don't have to go to the hospital. I promised you that I'll take a vacation and not go to work."
"Okay." Yan Rushan agreed. Since she didn't want to go to the hospital, he would ask a teacher to come and take care of her. He stood up and looked at the table full of delicious dishes. He didn't know where to start. "Wife, are there any of these dishes on the table that you can't eat?"
"You can eat anything, but you can't drink sweet wine." Sweet wine contains alcohol and blood-activating ingredients, so it cannot be consumed during pregnancy.
"Yeah." Bringing the sweet wine, Yan Rushan said loudly, "Goudan, come out for a moment."
"Ding ding ding." Goudan came out of the kitchen with a plate of cold noodles in his hand and placed it in front of Zhong Yuxiu first.
Yan Rushan said, "Goudan, Yuxiu is pregnant. From now on, any dishes or foods that Yuxiu cannot eat will not be served. I will tell you in advance what Yuxiu wants to eat, so you should pay more attention when cooking."
“Ding ding ding…”
The mechanical sound kept responding. Zhong Yuxiu covered her ears. Goudan was too excited. If this continued, his ears would be broken. He shouted impatiently.
"Okay, stop arguing."
The beeping sound of the machine stopped abruptly. Zhong Yuxiu said, "Just avoid foods that stimulate blood circulation and are irritating. During the early stages of pregnancy, make more foods rich in folic acid. Every meal should be nutritious. Thank you for your concern."
“Ding ding ding.”
Decisively turning around and going to the kitchen, Yan Rushan narrowed his eyes slightly and suddenly smiled, "Xiu'er, eat first."
"Okay." Zhong Yuxiu rubbed her head, which hurt because of Goudan's noise.
"Come, eat more. If there's anything you don't like, tell me and I'll pick it out for you." He smiled at her while picking up some food.
Zhong Yuxiu looked at him several times, feeling that something was amiss with him. She was puzzled. "No need to pick up the vegetables, I'll do it myself. As for the meat, forget it. I don't know what's wrong. I used to be able to eat meat without any problems, but this time, after just a little bit, the fishy smell was unbearable."
