Chapter 319 320. Good news, good news!
In the end, he accepted the basket of fish and shrimp.
The fisherman girl was very enthusiastic and insisted that Zhou Yi and Lei Li take it. She also took a handful of kelp and jellyfish in, and waved her hand a little embarrassedly.
"You gave me too much silver last time. This little bit of fish and shrimp is nothing. If you still want to eat fish and shrimp, come buy them from us. We will definitely give you the freshest and most delicious ones."
"If it's inconvenient for you to come, just send someone to take a message and I'll deliver it to your house!"
Lei Li smiled and said yes.
He looked at the fish and shrimp in the basket, which were jumping around lively, and the big pound crabs tied with straw ropes, whose eyes were rolling around. It was obvious that they were just caught from the sea, so he knew that the fisherman and his daughter were both honest people.
He suddenly had a bad idea to play a prank on her. He raised his peach blossom eyes slightly, smiled, and looked gentle and polite, which made the little girl blush suddenly.
Lei Li thought that this little girl looked quite bold and daring, but also quite shy. He smiled and said, "The last time I ate this fish and shrimp, it was indeed better than other places. Tomorrow morning, could you please bring it to me?"
"My house is one hundred and thirty steps south of the intersection of Baihua East Road. There are two big lions at the gate. Tell the gatekeeper that Master Lei sent you here."
"Why!"
The fisherman's girl responded crisply. Her face was tanned by the wind and sun, giving it a healthy tan, with a hint of redness, but her big eyes were bright.
"You are really different from other wealthy masters. This is the first time I've seen a master go out to buy groceries in person, with only a bodyguard and no maids or servants."
The kitchens of many wealthy families are mostly run by cooks and their husbands, while the daily purchases are done by maids, old women, or servants.
The pair of Lei Li and Zhou Yi, one is a wealthy and amiable old man with a handsome face, and the other is a burly bodyguard who doesn't even look like someone who can buy groceries.
Shopping for groceries now is not just about remembering the names of a few ingredients and buying them all.
What kind of vegetables are fresh, what kind of fish, shrimp and pork are good, what fruits are in season and how to choose the sweetest ones, what is a normal price, and how to buy them to save money and effort, these are all knowledge.
Lei Li laughed heartily, patted Zhou Yi on the shoulder, and said to the girl, "Actually, I don't know how to buy vegetables. This tall, black-faced god is the master of cooking. He can tell whether a dish is good or not just by looking at it."
"he?"
The fisherman's girl let out a short "Ah" and looked at Zhou Yi with her eyes wide open in surprise. She could not imagine how such a tall and burly man would squeeze into the small kitchen to wash his hands and cook soup.
That's not right. The kitchens of rich families should be much bigger, unlike hers which is narrow and small. Even several tall men can fit in it to cook.
"I was judging people by their appearance..."
The fisherman's girl was a little embarrassed, but soon she became cheerful again. She grabbed a handful of mussels with both hands, wrapped them in big leaves, and stuffed them into their hands, saying that mussels are delicious when cooked into soup, and that giving them a handful would make them forget their embarrassing incident.
Lei Li thought the little girl was very interesting and half leaned on Zhou Yi's shoulder with great joy. Zhou Yi couldn't help laughing and thanked her seriously while holding back his laughter.
After saying goodbye to the fisherman’s girl’s stall, Lei Li and Zhou Yi strolled around the beach for a while, bought some things, and then headed back home.
As soon as he arrived at the mansion, he received a great piece of good news. Lei Li immediately slammed the table and stood up.
"Is Zhou Zhou pregnant?"
"Yes."
Lin Zhong pursed his lips but couldn't suppress the upward curl of his lips. A smile appeared on the corners of his eyes and eyebrows. "Zhou Zhou has been feeling sleepy and his appetite hasn't been very good these past few days. I'm worried that Zhou Zhou might be sick, so I asked a doctor to come to the mansion."
"The doctor said Zhou Zhou is two months pregnant. It's normal for her to feel sleepy and tired. She just needs to eat something appetizing and get some rest."
"OK!"
Lei Li was overjoyed. "In seven months, I'll have another grandchild to play with! I wonder if it'll be a little girl, a little boy, or even a little man this time. I need to think of a name carefully!"
It's something to think about carefully.
A name stays with a person for a lifetime, so having a good name is a good start.
Zhou Yi thought so in his heart, and his face was full of joy. The family was about to have a new blood-related member, and as a grandfather, he was so happy that he wanted to celebrate for three days in a row.
“That’s right!”
Lei Li, who was delighted to be a grandfather, couldn't wait to see Zhou Zhou. He didn't see him all the way into the mansion, so he asked, "Where's Zhou Zhou? Where is our precious Zhou Zhou?"
"Rest in the room."
Lin Zhong said, "The doctor left two quarters of an hour ago. Zhou Zhou ate some appetizing hawthorn slices and a bowl of shredded pork and egg noodles. He felt sleepy and went to bed."
"I heard the servants say that my father has returned, so I hurried to tell you the good news."
"well done."
Lei Li nodded and praised him, "Zhou Zhou is resting, so she really shouldn't be disturbed. Pregnant women tend to sleep more than usual, and some may sleep six or seven hours a day. As long as her complexion and pulse are normal, don't disturb her."
As he spoke, he couldn't help but curl his lips in pride, "Ah, our Lei family's feng shui is really good. It hasn't been a few years since Yu Rui gave birth to little Yu Zhu, and Zhou Zhou is also pregnant. Our family is thriving and happy."
Lin Zhong couldn't help but nod when he heard this.
The Lei family's descendants are indeed more prosperous than the Suguo Mansion. His brother Lin Zhong and his eldest sister-in-law have been married for many years, but they only have seventeen children. Over the years, the mansion's branches have also been fewer than those of other noble families.
Needless to say, the family atmosphere in the Lei family is much more harmonious than that in the Duke Su's Mansion.
—
The next morning, the fisherman's daughter came to deliver fish and shrimp. Seeing the two majestic stone lions at the door, she was a little hesitant to knock. Then she found out that this was the governor's mansion. She was shocked but also a little excited.
She actually knows the Governor!
The governor also asked her to deliver fish and shrimps every day, and paid for it!
Of course, these fish and shrimp are prepared for Lei Zhouzhou.
After Lei Zhouzhou became pregnant, she became the number one protected person in the Lei family.
Lei Li and Zhou Yi are fine.
Lei Li had been pregnant twice and knew that everyone had different physical constitutions and not everyone would be fragile after getting pregnant. When she was pregnant, she was as strong as a bull, she ate everything with relish and was in great shape, and she didn't miss out on sleeping with Zhou Yi at all.
When Zhou Yi took care of the pregnant Lei Li for the first time, he was careful and cautious at all times. Because he was a first-time father and had no experience, he was naturally anxious about many things.
For example, how to take care of the child after it is born, what to do if the child is sick, how to educate the child, and who should he help when the child quarrels with her husband. If he doesn't help Lei Li, he will be dead, and if he doesn't help the child, it will hurt his young heart.
After the child was born, there were more problems and more troubles than Zhou Yi had imagined.
He could only learn little by little how to get along with the children and how to balance the relationship between the children and his husband. Fortunately, Lei Shengjiang and Lei Zhouzhou were both angel babies who were very easy to take care of, otherwise Zhou Yi, who liked to do things himself, would have been really depressed.
——To some extent, the carefree Lei Li is more suitable to take care of the child, because the child will become independent earlier and will not be starved to death by this irresponsible father.
When Miao Yurui was pregnant a few years ago, the whole family took care of him in every detail. Lei Li and Zhou Yi were experienced, and Lei Shengjiang, as her husband, took care of everything personally and took care of him perfectly.
Later, when Miao Yurui gave birth to little Yuzhu, everything went very smoothly. The old doctor who was invited to be on the safe side stayed in the Changning Marquis' Mansion for a few days with good food and drink, and finally went back happily with a red envelope.
All the skills are of no use at all.
Now that Lei Zhouzhou is also pregnant, Lei Li and Zhou Yi are extremely happy, but also a little worried, after all, no one knows what will happen during pregnancy.
However, Lei Zhouzhou's physical fitness is much better than that of ordinary people. Many men are not as strong as him, so there is no need to worry too much about pregnancy.
However, this was the first time that Lin Zhong had experienced such a thing. He was so happy to be a father for the first time that he couldn't sleep for several nights. He was also a little afraid to fall asleep, for fear that he would accidentally press on Zhou Zhou's belly while falling asleep and something unexpected would happen.
In Lin Zhong's eyes, Lei Zhouzhou had become a fragile object. He wished he could even eat the rice for Lei Zhouzhou so that he wouldn't have to chew it with effort.
Lei Zhouzhou: “…”
He felt that Lin Zhong was a little too concerned and often did things that were unnecessary, such as cutting the fruit into small pieces and putting them in front of his mouth, and removing the seeds from all the watermelon pieces.
I remember that he used to eat apples directly after washing them, and he would smash watermelons with a punch and eat them directly. Now he has never cut them into small pieces and removed the seeds so meticulously, as if he could be choked to death by the tiny watermelon seeds.
but……
Seeing that Lin Zhong seemed to be enjoying it, Lei Zhouzhou swallowed his words back.
Okay.
If Lin Zhong likes to take care of him, then let him do it.
——You don’t have to take too much care.
Looking at Lin Zhong, who looked worried and cautious, Lei Zhouzhou hesitated to speak, and finally said, "I was just wielding the sword a little, it's okay. I haven't moved for several days, and my hands and feet are rusty."
In the past, Lei Zhouzhou practiced boxing every day, used a bow and arrow every day, and played with his sword every now and then. Not to mention riding a horse, he rarely rode a horse when he went out, not in a sedan chair or carriage.
But Lin Zhongyi looked at him eagerly with his beautiful light-colored eyes, and his handsome face was as pitiful as a kitten, so he couldn't bear it.
The majestic military boxing is as slow as Tai Chi. He no longer wields a sword or touches a bow and arrow. When he goes out, he just rides in a carriage.
He was really suffocated to death.
"But……"
Lin Zhong hesitated, but finally said, "Zhou Zhou is pregnant now, and the big knife looks very dangerous... I heard that a pregnant woman lost her child because her husband twisted his waist. It's very harmful to her health."
Lin Zhong didn't care much about having offspring, but he had heard from the doctor that miscarriage was not good for the pregnant man's health, as it would damage his essence and blood, and it would take a long time to recover.
"The doctor also said that I am in good health and have no problem with my daily activities."
Lei Zhouzhou said, "I've practiced with this knife hundreds and thousands of times. I'll be careful and there won't be any mistakes."
Lin Zhong was still very worried, but since Lei Zhouzhou didn't say anything, he couldn't just ignore it, so he nodded hesitantly and stared at Lei Zhouzhou without blinking from the sidelines. He would go up immediately if anything seemed wrong.
Nothing happened.
Lei Zhouzhou wielded the sword smoothly, stretched his muscles, and felt relaxed.
