Once everything was tidied up, I got busy cooking. Yu Mo said they would be eating at their own home tonight and wouldn't be coming over, so I only needed to cook for the two of them.
With fewer people, cooking is easier; I only need to make four or five dishes, all of which my wife loves. Since she became pregnant, her appetite has increased, so I need to cook more and make a wider variety of dishes.
Once the meal is ready, call your wife over for dinner.
"The food is good tonight. You even made roast chicken." An Shuyi walked over and said, looking at the dishes on the table. No, it wasn't roast chicken, it should be roast bird meat, because the chickens in the small world were too big to roast properly, so they could only be boiled.
Besides roasted bird meat, there are also fried pork ribs and fried pork intestines, baby bok choy in broth, and stir-fried bok choy with minced garlic. This is a very good meal for two people.
"Yes, come and eat it while it's hot. I marinated it for several hours, so it's sure to be flavorful. I also added a little honey to it before baking. I'm sure you'll love it."
He put in a lot of effort to make sure his wife ate well, watching countless recipes and cooking videos. If his cooking skills weren't good, it would just mean he was stupid.
An Shuyi nodded, walked over and sat down. A chicken leg appeared on her plate, and it looked delicious.
Xiao Yubai brought her disposable gloves and put them on. "Eat up, tell me what you want to eat." He didn't rush to eat himself, but sat down next to her and waited for her to finish before serving her other food.
"You eat. I'll pick out whatever I want to eat later. You don't need to wait to feed me. The chicken leg is delicious. Eat it quickly, or it will get cold and won't taste as good."
Although she really liked his thoughtfulness, she didn't want to be a burden to him. He fed her every meal, washed her clothes, and did all the housework. He was incredibly kind to her.
"Okay, then tell me what you want to eat, and I'll get it for you." After saying that, he put on gloves, tore off some meat, and started to eat. It was indeed delicious; it might taste even better if dipped in a sauce.
However, he didn't prepare any, because if he did, his wife would definitely dip it in the sauce, and she can't eat anything too spicy, so he didn't prepare any. But it still tastes great this way.
An Shuyi finished the chicken leg and then stopped eating. Instead, she started gnawing on the ribs, which were fried from spare ribs. They were incredibly crispy, not dry at all, and had a little bit of oil on them – absolutely delicious.
There's also fried pork intestines. These aren't dry-fried, otherwise they won't cook through. They have to be boiled first before frying. The intestines are crispy, and there's a little oil on the outside, similar to fried pork cracklings.
"Are you full?" Looking at the pile of bones, he wondered who had said to make less food. Luckily, they hadn't made less; in fact, they had made more.
"Okay, I'm full. I'm going to wash my hands."
"Don't move!" Xiao Yubai helped her up. "I'll get some water for you to wash. The bathroom and kitchen floors are still wet. Just sit down."
He had just washed clothes and bedding, and cooked, so there was quite a lot of water on the floor. No matter how careful he was, some water still dripped onto the floor. She was heavily pregnant and couldn't see the ground.
"Alright, then go fetch some water." She didn't insist, after all, it was really inconvenient for her now. She used to be so agile, but now, even walking was difficult.
"Wait a moment." She went into the bathroom, filled a basin with hot water, grabbed some hand soap and a towel, and then brought them over.
She didn't need to wash it herself. I squeezed some hand sanitizer onto her hands, pulled her hands up, and carefully washed them. Then I rinsed them with water and wiped them dry with a towel.
"We just finished eating. Let me help you sit outside in the yard for a while, and then we can go for a walk, okay?"
An Shuyi nodded, "Okay, I'll go sit outside for a while. You can wash the dishes; you don't need to help me."
"I'd better help her up, otherwise I won't feel at ease." He helped her up and carefully walked outside.
Judging from his nervous appearance, he didn't even want to talk anymore. There's still more than a month to go, let's just wait and see when he loses his patience.
He helped her sit down before going back inside to wash the dishes, glancing outside every now and then until he finished washing them before coming out of the house.
"Come on, honey, let me help you walk around the neighborhood."
"Okay, but don't walk too long, I'm tired." If it weren't for the worry about indigestion, and the fact that walking a lot would make the baby in her belly happy, she wouldn't want to walk at all.
"no problem!"
The two walked outside for a while before heading home. He then helped her take a bath, dry her hair, and apply body lotion. Only after his wife fell asleep did he go about his own business.
The next month was the same. I didn't have to go to work. I spent every day with my wife, reading her stories, cooking, and doing laundry. Apart from being scared every now and then, life was pretty normal.
"Have you packed everything?" An Shuyi asked, standing at the door.
She was due to give birth in a few days and was supposed to stay at home, waiting until she gave birth before going to the hospital. But her husband said no, since they had plenty of money, and she should stay at the hospital.
He had already booked the best room, which would be no different from home. Helplessly, she had no choice but to agree.
"Everything's ready, it's all in the car, don't worry. If there's anything I haven't prepared, I'll come back and get it later," Xiao Yubai said, helping her walk towards the car.
"Are you sure you don't need me to go with you? If it's really not possible, we can just book another room," Xia Hua said from the side.
Cheng Yumo supported her and, before the two could speak, said, "Wife, don't cause trouble. If you weren't pregnant, I wouldn't mind you going wherever you wanted, but you're almost five months pregnant now, so just stay home."
That way, he could rest assured. Shuyi would be taken care of by Yu Bai when she went to the hospital, and since she wasn't going to give birth today, she could just stay there for now and they could go there again when she gave birth.
“Yes, Yu Mo is right. Hua Hua, you should stay at home. I’ll call you again when Shu Shu gives birth. Otherwise, if you come with me, I won’t be able to take care of you,” Xiao Yu Bai said.
He's constantly worried about taking care of his wife, and with Hua Hua on top of that, it'll be the death of him. So he'd better just stay home and relax.
"Alright, since you won't let me go, you have to take good care of Shushu. Call us again if anything happens, and make sure to let us know," Xia Hua instructed again, still worried.
Although Xiao Yubai had taken good care of Shushu for the past month or so, she was really worried because the baby was about to be born and men often let her down at crucial moments.
"Don't worry, I'll definitely call. Let's go." To prevent Hua Hua from saying anything more, he started the car and drove away. An hour later, the car stopped at the hospital.
As soon as the car stopped, a nurse from the hospital came over to help him with his luggage. Anjia had shares in this hospital and offered VIP cards. Not only were the rooms the same as those in a hotel, but there were also two nurses to take care of him.
Although the card was given to me by my father-in-law, it's useful as long as I can use it.
He had the nurse carry his luggage to the room, and then helped his wife to the elevator. Since the delivery room was on the sixth floor, it was very convenient as they didn't have to run up and down the stairs.
"Honey, sit here for a while. I'll bring the things up and put them away. I'll peel some fruit for you later."
