Gu Chijin was not angry at all when his wife called him stupid.
He held her in his arms, coaxing and persuading her, and gently kissed away the tears on her eyelashes. Only when the smile returned to Shi Qi's face did Gu Chijin breathe a sigh of relief.
He thought that the trip to the capital was off, but unexpectedly, after crying, Shi Qi agreed to let him go to the capital.
Gu Chijin did so much because he was worried about her. If she didn't appreciate it at all, it would be too hurtful.
After venting his emotions, Shi Qi leaned in Gu Chijin's arms and asked him when they would leave.
The couple hugged each other and talked for a while. Gu Chijin explained his plans one by one, and Shi Qi let him sleep.
On the third day after receiving the letter, Shi Qi and Gu Chi Jin boarded the train to Beijing and left the military family compound.
The Li family had already received the news and knew that Gu Chijin would bring Shi Qi to the capital soon.
These days, Ruan Qingwan took Li Yuanliang to the street to buy a lot of small clothes and shoes, ten sets of each in various colors.
She also made a longevity lock and a small gold bracelet, all of which were prepared for her unborn grandson.
That expectant look was even more exciting than that of Shiqi, the mother.
Gu Chijin and Shi Qi had just gotten off the train, and just like last time, they were picked up directly by the Li family driver and taken to the Li family villa.
Li Yuanliang and Ruan Qingwan were waiting at home early, looking at the winding mountain road, like two gray geese with their heads hanging down, staring blankly, their necks straight.
The first second she saw the car, Ruan Qingwan immediately ran down from the second floor.
He asked the servant to prepare some nourishing soup for his daughter and ran excitedly to the yard.
Li Yuanliang had no choice but to follow her down. As he listened to the whistle getting closer and closer, a smile appeared on his face.
The extended black car stopped steadily in the yard of the villa. Before Shi Qi could reach out, the car door was pulled open by the impatient Ruan Qingwan.
Looking at her daughter who had lost a lot of weight, Ruan Qingwan burst into tears before she could even feel happy.
He hugged Shi Qi, cried out in distress, and asked her why she suddenly lost so much weight.
Hearing Ruan Qingwan suddenly crying, Li Yuanliang was startled and hurried over from the door. Seeing his thin daughter, Li Yuanliang looked at Gu Chijin with dissatisfaction, with obvious accusations in his eyes.
"Mom, don't cry. I just had severe morning sickness recently, so I lost some weight.
During this period, Gu Chijin has been trying to find ways to replenish my body. It won’t be long before my flesh grows back.”
After getting off the car, Shi Qi comforted Ruan Qingwan with a helpless smile, and directly pointed out that it was not Gu Chi Jin's business, so as to prevent the two elders from indiscriminately blaming Gu Chi Jin for not taking good care of himself.
Knowing that her daughter was defending her husband, Ruan Qingwan didn't say much, but Li Yuanliang snorted heavily:
"You can't even take care of your own wife, and you still say you're capable..."
"dad."
Before Li Yuanliang could finish his words, Shi Qi interrupted him directly:
"It has nothing to do with Gu Chijin. When I had severe morning sickness, he didn't even go to the army to take care of me. He thought of ways to coax me to eat every day, and he did a great job.
It would be unreasonable for you to blame him again."
Not wanting to see Gu Chijin being misunderstood by his elders, Shi Qi immediately stood up for him.
Seeing his daughter staring at him with disapproval, Li Yuanliang swallowed his unfinished words and waved his hand at Gu Chijin:
"Come on, let's go inside and talk about what's going on. I just got some good tea a few days ago. Can you make me a cup to try?"
Gu Chijin stood behind Shi Qi, called out "Mom and Dad", and then nodded to Li Yuanliang.
Ruan Qingwan helped Shi Qi into the house, and Gu Chijin also protected Shi Qi behind him. The family looked as if they were facing a great enemy, which made Shi Qi feel like he was a national treasure.
As soon as he sat down in the room, Ruan Qingwan kept calling the servant to bring the tonic soup. When Shi Qi saw the familiar beautiful soup bowl, painful memories came to his mind. He looked at Gu Chijin with a bitter face, asking him for help.
Gu Chijin felt sorry for her, and the first time she looked at him, he immediately said:
"Mom, Shiqi hasn't recovered from her morning sickness yet. She's prone to vomiting when she drinks soup. It's best not to let her drink it for now."
Shi Qi nodded quickly and agreed:
"Gu Chijin is right. I feel like vomiting whenever I smell the smell of oil these days. I dare not drink this soup at all."
Ruan Qingwan immediately became nervous and waved her hand for the servant to bring the soup out:
"Then don't drink, don't drink. I'll ask them to make whatever you want to eat."
Shiqi shook his head:
"As long as the food is light and not too greasy, I can eat it."
Ruan Qingwan looked at Gu Chijin, and only after Gu Chijin nodded did she let the servants go back to cooking.
Li Yuanliang sat aside, looking at Gu Chijin with lingering eyes, and waited for a while before speaking:
"Let them talk for a while, and come with me to the study to have some tea."
Gu Chijin nodded, stood up, glanced at Shi Qi, and then followed Li Yuanliang upstairs.
Li Shaoyu returned to the villa in the evening. He knew that Shi Qi and Gu Chijin were going to Beijing today, so he cleared out his time after work early.
Shi Qi was also very happy to see Li Shaoyu. She called him "brother" sweetly and moved the fruit that the servant had just brought out in front of him.
Li Shaoyu touched his sister's hair, looked around, and asked:
"Where did Dad and Gu Chijin go?"
Shi Qi glanced upstairs and said with a smile:
"They're drinking tea in the study and haven't come down for a long time. Brother, go up and take a look. And by the way, help me ask them to come down for dinner."
Li Shaoyu nodded, took the apple piece handed to him by his sister, took a bite, took a step forward, and strode upstairs.
Ruan Qingwan was in the kitchen giving instructions for a while, and when she came out she vaguely heard someone's voice:
"Chu Chu, is your brother back?"
"Well, brother just came back and went to the study to find dad and Gu Chijin."
Ruan Qingwan nodded, then remembered that there was something she hadn't explained yet, so she immediately went back to the kitchen to talk about it.
It was a rare day for all the Li family members to be together. At the dinner table, Li Yuanliang asked Gu Chijin to take Shi Qi to see his grandfather when he had time.
Gu Chijin agreed and kept picking up food for Shi Qi at the dinner table.
Ruan Qingwan saw this and was very satisfied. Even Li Shaoyu looked up at Gu Chijin several times.
Now, Gu Chijin and Shi Qi settled down directly in the capital.
After visiting Grandpa Li at the other end, Shi Qi moved back to his own villa and waited for Gu Chijin to return from the army every day.
None of the servants that Li Shaoyu arranged last time left, and Shi Qi stayed at home all day with nothing to do except taking care of the pregnancy.
She was so bored that she drew drafts at home, bought a sewing machine, and made all kinds of beautiful small clothes and shoes by herself to prepare for her child.
Ruan Qingwan would come over every day, wait for Gu Chijin to come back, and then go back to her place after dinner.
Sometimes, when Gu Chijin was in the army and couldn't come back, Ruan Qingwan simply stayed here to accompany her daughter.
As the seasons changed, Gu Chijin became more and more worried as he saw Shi Qi's belly growing bigger day by day. When the month Shi Qi was due to give birth came, he took a leave of absence to stay at home and accompany her during the birthing.
Shi Qi laughed at him for making a fuss, but under the insistence of everyone in the Li family, they still did not let Gu Chijin return to the army to work.
One morning in the golden autumn of September, Shi Qi woke up from the intense labor pains and reached out to push the man beside her.
