Chapter 381 Taking Advantage
An Zhiqiu then laughed foolishly for a long time, even more foolish than when he knew he was a father. He rubbed An Zhixia's hair vigorously, making her angry, and then he laughed: "The girl has really grown up and is going to be a mother!"
An Zhixia pouted disapprovingly: "I am already a mother of three children. Fortunately, there was no one else around, otherwise people would think that I, as a stepmother, had some bad intentions."
An Zhiqiu felt amused and distressed, he glanced at the girl's flat belly and said, "Xia Xia, I didn't say that the Fang family's children are bad, it's just that witnessing the birth of a life, especially a child related to you by blood, is a very different thing.
Although my brother is also a father for the first time, the baby has not yet been born. But it has already been rolling, kicking, and burping in your sister-in-law's belly. Every change is touching and makes people grateful. "
An Zhixia pursed her lips and smiled, gently stroking her belly. She had been observing with early pregnancy test paper these past two days, and the red line had been getting darker, so the chance of pregnancy was very high.
After hearing what her brother said, she also had high expectations for the little life in her belly. This was another person who was connected to her by blood, and was an indispensable existence in her life, besides her brother.
After An Zhiqiu carried the things and sent An Zhixia back home, he automatically opened the refrigerator to see what vegetables and meat were there. Usually, An Zhixia went to the TV station's family compound to pick vegetables, picking for two days each time, and some of the meat was bought by the canteen, and some was the employee subsidy from Li Hanqian.
Fang Yuan just found out that she was pregnant yesterday, and now the refrigerator is full of various fruits, vegetables and meat.
After An Zhiqiu became somewhat familiar with the kitchen, he started to cook.
When the children came home from school, the meal was already on the table. They laughed and shouted, "Mom, we're back!"
When they saw An Zhiqiu serving the dishes, they happily called him uncle again.
"Hurry up and wash your hands and eat. I made braised pork for you," An Zhiqiu brought the last bit of soup.
An Zhixia has been pregnant for just over a month and there are no signs of the disease yet, so she eats all kinds of meat and vegetables.
Seeing the girl and the children eating happily, he said with a smile: "From now on, I won't go back to Zhaoyang District for lunch. I will eat here instead."
Although he said he wanted to eat for free, An Zhixia understood that her brother wanted to help her cook.
"I'm not that delicate. It's just cooking and some manual labor," she protested slightly.
"The first three months are the most critical," An Zhiqiu said solemnly, "No, I'll wait for Brother Yuan to get off work in a few days, then you can go home and let Grandma and Auntie give you some instructions.
Don't take advantage of your youth to show off your strength!"
An Zhixia responded obediently repeatedly, feeling sweet in her heart.
When An Zhiqiu went to work and the children went to school, she began to flip through the parenting books in the supermarket, carefully writing down every word, such as when to go for prenatal check-ups, what nutritional supplements to take in which month, what food taboos to have, and how to do prenatal education.
In the evening, she rolled noodles, made a stew with tomatoes and eggs, and then poured sesame sauce, minced garlic, green onions, and coriander on them. Fang Yuan finished the whole pot by herself, and the three children shared another pot with her.
Fang Songyan lay on the sofa contentedly, stroking her bulging belly, "A child with a mother is like a treasure. Will you be at home from now on?"
Fang Lixi helped Fang Yuan clean up the dishes, while Fang Gexin reset the table and moved the chairs back, then sat next to An Zhixia, looking at her with bright eyes.
"Of course not. Mom has quit her job and returned home to take care of her husband and children. She usually writes to pass the time," An Zhixia hadn't been so leisurely for a long time.
The children were all very happy, chattering in low voices about what was happening at school.
An Zhixia listened patiently, occasionally interjecting a few words.
After the house was tidied and he was about to call his wife and children to go out for a walk, a customer arrived.
Shao Tongfeng and Huang Yaru came in smiling, carrying fruits and milk powder.
An Zhixia quickly stood up to greet him.
When the children were called, they busied themselves moving stools and pouring water, then obediently took their homework to the bedroom to make room for them to talk.
"Teacher Xiao An, your resignation was too sudden," Huang Yaru said with a sigh, "Everyone is waiting for you to come back. You don't know, there was a lot of noise in the station today. Those new comrades were pointing fingers while we were recording the program, as if they knew everything.
The worst thing is that Deputy Director Huang, who walks around everywhere in high heels, inserting new comrades into some of the most popular programs, as if he wants to replace our old comrades.
Everyone couldn't be angry, and they were all holding their breath."
Shao Tongfeng also frowned and said, "The work progress today is less than one-third of the usual work. If we weren't afraid of being bullied, we would really want to go on strike."
An Zhixia was also furious when she heard this. Thinking about it was one thing, and knowing about it was another.
"Where is "Taogui"? " she asked with a cold face.
"The two female hosts were beaten," Huang Yaru said with a pout. "They spoke in a coquettish tone and made a fuss over trivial matters. The mood was gone and the whole show was like a big fair. However," she couldn't help laughing, "but Comrade An is not someone who will suffer a loss. This episode chose to record braised loach, which is like a snake to urban female comrades. Halfway through the recording, the two female hosts said they didn't want to continue."
An Zhixia smiled and nodded: "That's what we should do. If enemies come, we will stop them. If water comes, we will block it with earth. The TV station is our home ground. Let's show our professionalism and let them have no chance to interfere!"
"But we can't record this type of dishes every episode, right?" Huang Yaru said pessimistically. "Other programs have scripts, and it's easy for people who are inserted to steal the limelight."
"We worked so hard to produce the program, and it's disgusting that someone else took away our work all of a sudden," Shao Tongfeng said angrily. "We can't trouble the leaders with these things. After all, the TV station is a whole. But we can't swallow this."
He took a deep breath and smiled bitterly at An Zhixia: "I'm sorry, Teacher Xiao An, we wanted to see you, but we couldn't help it..."
An Zhixia waved her hand and said with a smile: "It doesn't matter, my brother and your friends are all at the TV station. If I can help find a solution, I will definitely not stand idly by."
Fang Yuan peeled two apples, cut them into slices, and handed them toothpicks.
An Zhixia puffed up her cheeks and took a bite. The apple was crisp, sweet and sour and tasted great. "I think you want to trouble the leaders, but you can't pass on your opinions. They take advantage of our sense of responsibility and patriotism, knowing that you can't give up, so they take advantage of us."
She closed her eyes slightly and thought about something, while the other two took bites of their apples.
