Although I was pregnant, Jianshu had neither morning sickness nor sleepiness, and I didn't really feel the reality of my pregnancy. I even forgot about it many times and acted as carefree as usual, without any awareness of being pregnant.
When Gu Mingjing was walking home from work that day, he saw a familiar figure in the distance. He quickened his pace, and when he saw who it was, he was startled.
"Shushu, why did you come out and carry so many things!" Gu Mingjing hurriedly chased after him and took the package from Jianshu's hand. The moment he held it in his hand, it felt heavy. The moment he felt the weight in his hand, his face changed immediately.
It's just like the ash at the bottom of a pot, so black and scary.
Looking at his grim expression, Jian Shu belatedly realized that she was no longer the same as before, and withdrew her hand in frustration, "Didn't they say a package had arrived? I came to pick it up."
Gu Mingjing took a deep breath and tried to calm down. He didn't want to show a bad face in front of her anymore. "When the package arrives, just wait for me to come back and pick it up. You are pregnant now. You can't overwork or lift heavy objects." What if something happened?
He didn't say the last sentence, but he still felt a little scared.
Jianshu felt a little guilty and regretful. She really hadn't noticed this for a moment. After all, it was something she was used to doing, so she just...
She glanced up at Gu Mingjing's face, then surreptitiously stretched out her index finger to hook it around his little finger, saying weakly, "I'm sorry. I promise, there won't be a next time."
Feeling the urging in his hand, Gu Mingjing sighed silently, held her hand in his backhand, and said nothing more, "Let's go home and see who sent the package."
It's no wonder the elders were worried, he wasn't too worried now either. He had to go to work during the day, and Shushu was alone at home with no one to accompany her. Their home was quite remote, so if anything happened, no one would answer even if he called out.
He was worried about something, but he didn't show it on his face.
Seeing that he didn't care, Jian Shu regained his energy and said with a smile, "The address is in Beijing. It must have been sent by my aunt."
"It arrived so soon. I was afraid it was sent out the next day after we got the news." Gu Mingjing suppressed the worries in his heart and followed the topic.
"hey-hey……"
After returning home, Jianshu didn't rush to eat and couldn't wait to open the package.
He took out the thick stack of letters and put them aside, ready to read them slowly later.
"I'll do it, you sit on the sofa for a while." Gu Mingjing stopped her from moving, squatted down and took things out one by one.
Bird's nest, fish maw, honey...
As they took out one thing after another and placed them on the table, Jianshu couldn't help but gasp in amazement, "Could it be that Auntie brought all the things from home here?"
These nutritional supplements are not so easy to buy in this day and age.
"I think it took the whole family to empty the house," Gu Mingjing said, his voice somewhat amused, holding a small bag of toys in one hand and a pile of bills in the other. This was once again a testament to how much his wife was favored.
However, if he has a daughter in the future, I'm afraid it will be no different. If you put yourself in his shoes, you can understand it.
"Huh?" Jian Shu put down the jar of honey, looked up in confusion, and looked at the thing in his hand.
She immediately noticed the familiar small schoolbag, "This... seems to be Ruirui's."
After taking it and seeing the familiar little flower in the lower right corner, he said with certainty, "Yes, it's his."
This little flower was embroidered by her after she learned embroidery from Aunt Chen next door. She has no talent at all in this area, and the thing she showed is a world away from the original picture. If you put them together, they are not exactly the same, but completely unrelated.
It's supposed to be a flower, but you can't tell what kind of flower it is; at first glance, it's just a crooked mess. I'm afraid no one else could embroider it exactly like hers. It's the perfect anti-counterfeiting mark, the kind you don't have to worry about being counterfeited.
Looking at the bulging schoolbag, she was very curious, "Is there a share for this kid too? What did he send? Could he be sending me some snacks and candies he secretly hid?"
"Probably not. Even if he wants to, my aunt and the others can't fool around with him."
"Just open it and you'll know." Gu Mingjing looked at the inflated shape of the schoolbag and had a guess in his mind.
Jian Shu opened the package, saw what was inside, and immediately smiled, "This kid really spent a lot of money."
"What is it?" Gu Mingjing asked as he was squatting on the ground and couldn't see clearly.
"A toy." Jian Shu took out a small wooden sword. "This is his favorite sword. He takes it to school every day and even sleeps with it. I didn't expect he would be willing to give it away."
Except for the small wooden sword, all the rest are Zhao Tianrui's favorites. If he gave them all away at once, he would probably feel heartbroken when he went to bed at night.
Gu Mingjing noticed a note stuck on the side of the schoolbag. He curiously opened it and smiled, "This kid is really thoughtful."
"What did you write?" Jianshu grabbed it and took a look. "Pfft—for my sister (crossed out) niece to play with!"
"This brat can even get his generation wrong, really..."
"But it's not his fault. He's usually surrounded by people of the same generation, brothers and sisters, who he calls his elders, either grandpa or uncle. There really aren't any younger generations around him."
After all, the eldest of their generation, Zhao Tianlei, is still a bachelor.
Thinking of this, Jian Shu put the small wooden sword back into his schoolbag and said, "Put it away. I'll give it to her when she's older. This is a gift from her uncle."
"We'll buy some toys for Ruirui later." Gu Mingjing knew how to return a favor. His brother-in-law had spent a lot of money for his daughter, so he had to compensate him in any way.
After all, they are still children, who doesn't like to play with toys? Moreover, when children are together, comparisons are inevitable, and the number of toys a child has can more or less affect his or her status in the circle of children.
"Sure. Aren't we going to the village to find a carpenter to customize a cradle later? The carpenter has children at home, so he must have all kinds of wooden toys. When the time comes, buy some wooden swords and guns from him and send them back together." Jianshu nodded.
"Let's go together when I'm on vacation." Gu Mingjing would never let Jianshu be alone now. He would go wherever she went.
"Okay." Jian Shu responded very straightforwardly.
Gu Mingjing began to clear the table. Seeing that there were still quite a lot of bird's nests and fish maws, he turned around and asked, "Shall I make you a bowl of bird's nest tomorrow?"
Jian Shu was reading the letter written by Meng Ying and nodded indifferently, "Whatever, you can arrange it." She didn't have any preference in taste yet.
