"Don't do that, you still have to go to work." Jian Shu was at a loss whether to laugh or cry, and quickly stopped him.
Meng Ying wasn't unemployed and idle at home every day; she was much busier than Jian Shu, the stay-at-home type. With a high position came a heavy burden, and working overtime was common.
"How can I concentrate on work in this situation?" Meng Ying knew this was unrealistic and sighed, "How about waiting three months until the baby is stable and then you can take a bus back? I can at least take care of you if you stay at home, and you can go back after the baby is born."
"It's okay, auntie. Mingjing is here and he will take good care of me. Sister Xiufang next door has also given birth to several children and is very experienced. It's okay." Jianshu comforted her.
As for the proposal of returning to Beijing, she didn't even mention it. It would take a year to have a baby, and the baby would be too young to take the train. So she couldn't think of coming back within two or three years. After two or three years, the college entrance examination would be almost resumed, and she would have no chance.
It is still unknown whether Gu Mingjing can be transferred back to Beijing. If not, the next three years will be the time when their family of three can be reunited, and she doesn't want to leave.
"Well, okay, then you take good care of yourself. I will try to be with you before you give birth." Meng Ying sighed again.
It's a special period now, and we don't dare to hire a nanny or anything. If Jianshu had an older person to take care of her, she would feel a lot more at ease.
Now she can only teach her two children more, work hard, and try to spare two months to accompany the birth. She will never feel at ease if she is not there in person.
Then Meng Ying asked Gu Mingjing to answer the phone and taught him a lot of precautions during pregnancy. She repeatedly told him to take good care of Jianshu and call her immediately if anything happened. Gu Mingjing responded very seriously.
Then everyone in the family talked to Jianshu, and only after knowing that she still had to call other people to announce the good news did they hang up the phone reluctantly.
"Oh." After hanging up the phone, Meng Ying sat on the sofa and sighed.
"Oh!" A heavier sigh was heard.
Zhao Tianrui looked at his father, then at his mother, and imitated them by sighing heavily, "Ah——"
"Pfft——" This scene made Zhao Yueling laugh.
"Okay, Mom, I've already told you that my brother-in-law and the experienced sister-in-law next door are taking care of us, so don't worry. Besides, it's so far away, there's no point in worrying. You can't fly over to help."
"You are getting more and more heartbreaking as you grow older." Meng Ying rolled her eyes at her daughter. The caring little cotton-padded jacket has turned into a leaky one.
"I'm clearly telling the truth, but you just don't want to hear it." Zhao Yueling muttered secretly, not daring to let her mother hear.
"Old Zhao, I've thought about it and think we shouldn't urge the eldest brother to get married." Meng Ying suddenly changed the subject.
Zhao Mingze was confused by her. Why did she suddenly turn the topic to the boss's affairs?
"Think about it, we are both busy with work now. If our daughter-in-law gets pregnant, I won't have time to take care of her. It would be fine if her mother has time to take care of her, but what if her in-laws don't have time either? If the brat wants to be single, let him be single for a few more years. It would be nice to get married when we retire and have time to take care of him." Meng Ying explained to him.
Zhao Mingze listened silently. It sounded reasonable, but...
"You don't care about it anymore because you're going to have a granddaughter soon!" he pointed out bluntly.
Meng Ying waved her hands. "Oh, that's the reason, but what I said before also made sense. Just tell me if I was right!"
"...Boss, you'd better stay single." Zhao Mingze also changed sides.
Zhao Yueling listened quietly, her eyes flashed, and she decided to write a letter to her sister to tell her about it, and then they would work together to trick her elder brother.
As expected, they are sisters who have slept in the same bed since childhood. They are really in sync when it comes to things like betraying their brother.
***
Jianshu called Gu Zhan again.
After hearing this good news, Gu Zhan's laughter could be heard clearly through the microphone.
"Great, this is great news!" Gu Zhan was delighted at first, then he began to care about Jian Shu, "Shu Shu, how are you? Are you feeling unwell? You're so careless, how about I ask Aunt Chen to come over and take care of you?"
This question was a common practice. After Meng Ying's experience, Jian Shu was able to handle it well. "Dad, I'm fine. I'm in good health. The child is well behaved and not making a fuss. Don't worry, Ming Jing can take good care of me. Don't let Aunt Chen come. You need more care over there alone."
Aunt Chen was there to take care of Gu Zhan, so how could she possibly send him all the way to the Northeast to look after her? It would have a bad impact if word got out.
Gu Zhan also understood this, so he didn't say anything more. "Okay, let that brat take good care of you. If he makes you unhappy, bring me his phone number and I'll teach him a lesson. Don't hold your anger in. It's not worth it to ruin your health."
"Okay, thank you, Dad. He wouldn't dare to do that with your support." Jian Shu looked at Gu Mingjing's depressed expression and responded with a smile.
After Gu Zhan spoke to Jian Shu in a gentle voice for a while, he let Gu Mingjing answer the phone.
"Hello? Dad!" Gu Mingjing curled his lips, already knowing what the old man wanted to say.
"You little brat, you have to take good care of Shushu, okay? You should be considerate and do all the work you are supposed to do. And watch your mouth and don't talk back to Shushu. Whatever she says is what you have to do. If I find out that you have made Shushu angry now, I will beat you to death!"
"I know, I know. Are you annoying, old man? Am I such an ignorant person?" Gu Mingjing scratched his ears and said impatiently.
Seeing his shameless look, Jian Shu patted his arm and mouthed, "Speak properly!"
Gu Mingjing had no choice but to continue to listen patiently to his father's teachings, nodding in response from time to time, and agreeing with whatever was said.
Twenty minutes later, seeing that it was getting late, both parties hung up the phone reluctantly.
The elders on both sides have been notified, and today's task is completed.
As for the remaining friends and family, there was no need to call them one by one to inform them. Meng Ying had just said on the phone that it was better not to spread the news before three months had passed. Wait until three months had passed before making any announcements.
Although these customs do not have much scientific basis, Jianshu is still willing to follow them as long as there is no harm.
It's better to have less trouble than more. It's better to believe it exists than not to believe it exists. It's always a good idea to be more careful when it comes to children's affairs.
Anyway, more than a month will pass quickly, so it doesn’t make any difference whether you say it early or late.
