I went upstairs and quietly opened the door. To my surprise, my wife was just sitting up in bed. I asked softly, "Honey, have you had enough sleep? It's already seven o'clock. How about we eat dinner first and then go back to sleep?"
As he spoke, he walked into the house.
An Shuyi nodded, "I've had enough sleep. I just got up to eat. Did you cook?" She had just woken up and wanted to sleep a little longer, but the baby in her belly wouldn't allow it, moving around inside.
She had seen too many pregnant women, but she never imagined that pregnancy would be so tiring. She was so sleepy, yet hungry and weak, and didn't want to move at all.
It's only been four months, there are still five months to go, when will this end?
"We don't have any ingredients at the villa, and we haven't gone to buy any. It's dark now, so we'll just have something to eat tonight. I'll cook you something nice tomorrow, or shall we go out to eat? It'll be more lively with more people."
His wife had just woken up and definitely wouldn't want to sleep for a while, so he thought it would be better to take her out to eat and walk around. He checked his phone and saw a message saying that pregnant women should walk more so that childbirth would be easier.
"Okay, I'll go wash up. You can call Huahua and ask if they're coming." She got out of bed, put on her shoes, and went to the bathroom. She washed up, but didn't even apply any skincare products—what a hassle.
Stepping out of the room, I asked, "Did you ask if they're going?"
"They said they'd go, since dinner's early, so it's a good time to grab something."
"Okay, help me tie my hair up, then we can go!" She was too lazy to change her clothes, so she just took out a long black cotton coat and put it on. When she got back, she could wash her face, brush her teeth, and go to sleep. How convenient!
Xiao Yubai nodded and tied her hair into a bun. "Wife, aren't you going to change your shoes?" She was still wearing a pair of fluffy slippers.
"No need to change, it's not like we'll have to walk too far, this is fine, let's go." After saying that, he walked out the door and downstairs.
As she walked outside the villa, she saw Hua Hua's car parked in the yard. She didn't go over, but waited for her husband to drive over before getting in.
As she got closer, Xia Hua asked, "Where should we eat?"
“We went out for barbecue. I haven’t had anything spicy in a long time, so I can eat a little bit.” For the past few months, she has been eating very bland food, with no flavor at all.
"Let's go then, eat a little less." After saying that, she told Yu Mo to drive. She knew that Yu Bai definitely didn't want Shu Shu to eat, because he said it was bad for her health.
But she didn't think that being pregnant meant you couldn't eat anything, and that eating less was fine.
Seeing that they had already made up their minds, Xiao Yubai did not object. His wife had wanted to eat this for too long, and if he stopped her, she would definitely be unhappy. It was better to keep an eye on her later and make sure she ate less.
This way, my wife won't be angry, and she'll be happy. It's also good for the baby in her belly, and everyone will enjoy the meal.
Xia Hua directed Cheng Yumo to drive directly to the food street, where there was not only barbecue but also various snacks. It was very lively, with many people eating and shopping. After parking the car, the group got out.
"Let's go eat at that place. It's not crowded, and it looks pretty good." After saying that, he helped Shushu over.
The group sat in the empty seats and started ordering various kinds of barbecue, but none of them were extra spicy, just medium spicy. Although they ate little, they couldn't eat anything too spicy.
"Honey, what else would you like to eat? I'll go buy it." There's everything on the street next door.
"I want to eat savory tofu pudding, guokui (a type of flatbread), and a bowl of rice noodles in a clay pot." They ordered all barbecue, not any staple food, so a bowl of rice noodles would be perfect.
"Okay, Huahua, Yumo, what do you want to eat?"
“I’ll go buy it with you. The barbecue will be ready in a while. Honey, what do you want to eat?” Cheng Yumo asked.
We can't let Yu Bai go to buy it alone, and we don't have that many hands. It's better for two people to go, and it will be faster.
"One serving of takoyaki and one serving of crispy potato rice will do," Xia Hua said.
"Okay, you two wait here." The two went to buy it.
After they left, An Shuyi asked, "Huahua, how did it go when you went house hunting today? If you didn't find anything suitable, just take one out, renovate it, and let your uncle and aunt live there."
Their dowries included several properties, but none of them were renovated. Even though they had land, their parents didn't show favoritism; whatever she had, Hua Hua had too.
They wouldn't live in those properties anyway. If there isn't a suitable one, we could renovate one for my uncle and aunt, but that would take some time, since the renovation work would take about a month.
Xia Hua nodded, "I've already found one today. It's not far from our company, but the only available properties are villas. I'll buy one now and move in tomorrow."
When I went to see her today, I was thinking about how it would be closer to her company and where she lives, so it would be convenient if anything came up. As for having my parents live with them, not only would they not be used to it, but she also wouldn't be able to accept it.
She could accept that Cheng Yumo was in the same room with her, and it didn't take long. So, it wouldn't be any less that her parents, whom she hadn't seen for twenty years, were not living together. Everyone was happy with that too.
Originally, her parents disagreed, saying they wanted to go back to their hometown and weren't used to living here. But after she talked to them, they decided to stay. However, when they saw the house she bought, they thought she didn't have enough money and that renting a room would be fine.
They were only reassured after she said she was using her own money, not Anjia's. Otherwise, they wouldn't have agreed at all. However, they will move in tomorrow and plan to go back to their hometown in a few days. Although they don't have any relatives there, they still have villagers.
They take good care of their parents. If they come to Beijing and don't go back, they will worry. So they have to go back and tell them that they have found their daughter and will live in Beijing from now on. It just so happens that they are going on their honeymoon. Their hometown is close to the sea, so they can go back and visit their parents.
They'll take a look at where she was born, then send her parents back, and then they can go out and play. It will take a little longer, but it's all the same no matter where they play, and I believe Shushu and her husband won't be unhappy about it.
"It's good that we found her. A villa would be even better. They suffered so much before, they deserve to live a better life now." Even without seeing her, one can imagine how much they endured to find Hua Hua.
Fortunately, after twenty years, I finally found it, and I can just enjoy the rest of my life.
"That's what I was thinking too. They're going back to their hometown in a few days, and I'd like to go back and visit. What do you think?"
"Sure, you're just having fun anyway, so it's a good opportunity to see what kind of place you're going to." I don't know what kind of place it is, but it should be a small town or the countryside.
"I'll let you know when we leave. Take good rest these next few days."
"Don't worry, I'll definitely get some rest, but shouldn't you also consider having one?" Having a child sooner would give her baby a sibling.
Xia Hua wasn't embarrassed at all when she heard her say that. She generously replied, "I'm preparing for it. It's up to fate. There's no rush." After all, there's no point in rushing.
