"Dad, I know, I’ll definitely follow the doctor’s advice."

"Mm, when are you coming back?"

"We’ll wait until it thaws and return with Teacher Jiang and them. My father-in-law said after the New Year we’ll go to the Capital together."

"Mm, alright, it’s safer that way on the road. You must be careful during this period." Li Yungui tirelessly advised.

"Okay, Dad, I’m already an adult, I know."

"Mm, my daughter has settled down, and she’s going to be a mom." Li Yunqiao’s anger dissipated. Yes, she’s married, they’re together, pregnancy is normal.

But his daughter is still young. She was just a child, and now she’s going to be a mom.

He advised a few more words before hanging up the phone. He didn’t have the mood to attend the meeting now, so he sat down sulking.

If Lv Guodong were here next to him, he would definitely hit him.

Secretary Wu came in and saw Li Yunqiao’s face but still had to notify him.

"Leader, the meeting is almost over, do you still want to go?"

Li Yunqiao sighed and stood up. He couldn’t let his mood affect his work.

At noon, he went home and took a nap with Lu Fengzhen.

"What’s wrong?"

"Got a call from Xue today, she’s pregnant."

"Pregnant? She’s a bit young. The doctor said too young or too old for pregnancy isn’t good."

"That’s why I’m upset."

"What good is it to be upset? The child is already in her belly, right? They’re both young and might not have thought about pregnancy.

Since Xue’er is young, let her rest well. Not good doesn’t necessarily mean danger."

"How can I not be upset, lied to my daughter and got her to follow him. Now there’s a child, and in my eyes, they’re still kids."

Lu Fengzhen laughed, "Even if Xue’er were seventy or eighty, she’d still be a child in your eyes.

Alright, don’t be angry. Let nature take its course. When are they coming back? Find a doctor for a proper check-up later."

"They’re coming back together with Xiao Jiang and them, and after the New Year, going to the Capital to find Xiao Jiang and them. No, I must call Xiao Wei. Ask him to find a good doctor in the Capital for a proper check-up for Xue’er."

"Mm, that’s fine. Well, people used to have kids even younger than Xue’er now."

Li Yunqiao sighed, what else can he do?

Guodong and Li Xue arrived home. Lv Beiguang looked at them expectantly.

"Dad, you’re going to be a grandpa soon. The doctor says the child is doing well."

Lv Beiguang’s face showed a satisfied smile.

"Good, good. Xue’er, if there’s anything you want to eat or feel uncomfortable, be sure to tell us.

Did the doctor say anything? Any precautions?" Lv Beiguang didn’t quite understand about age-related pregnancy issues. However, his son’s face didn’t look good.

"Guodong, what’s wrong?"

"Dad, the doctor said Xue’er is quite young, so special care is needed during pregnancy."

Lv Beiguang froze, "What did the doctor say? No need for you to tell me, I’ll go ask the doctor."

After speaking, he took his coat and hat and went out. Guodong and Li Xue couldn’t stop him.

Seeing his father like this, Guodong didn’t feel as tense, but still carefully helped Li Xue onto the bed.

"Go stoke the stove. I’ll make you bone broth. No idea where Jing Chu and Chaoyang went?"

Just as they spoke, the two entered.

"Haha, your brother is looking for you." Li Xue said with a smile.

"Sister-in-law, is my little nephew doing well now?"

"Mm, the doctor said it’s fine."

"That’s good then, haha, in a few months I’ll have a nephew."

Guodong came from the living room. "Jing Chu, the doctor said your sister-in-law’s age is too young for early pregnancy, so we must be careful."

"Ah? Okay, I understand, I’ll definitely take good care of sister-in-law."

"Chaoyang, go to the supply and marketing cooperative and buy some bones. The doctor said she can drink more broth."

"Alright, I’ll go now. There should still be some left."

"Bro, you make sister-in-law a cup of milk powder, I’ll go to the supply cooperative too and ask Aunt She if she can get some chicken."

"Alright, you guys go."

The two went out on bikes this time. Lucky enough, there were four pig trotters and a whole set of pig offal.

Chaoyang bought them directly and waited outside for Jing Chu.

"Aunt She."

"Jing Chu is here."

"Aunt She, can you get some chicken?"

"I’ll try, but likely not tomorrow. Why?"

"My sister-in-law is pregnant. The doctor said she needs good nourishment."

"Haha, that’ll make your dad happy. Proper nourishment is needed, I’ll think of a way, have Guodong come to my place tonight, I have two carp at home. Go back and make soup for Xue’er."

"Alright, thank you, Aunt She. Fish is really hard to buy nowadays."

"No need to be polite, Jing Chu, you don’t have a mom, there’s something I should tell you.

Women shouldn’t get pregnant too early, it’s not good for the body."

"Mm, I know, I can understand just from seeing my sister-in-law."

"Go ahead, I’ll think about the chicken, and see if there are eggs."

After coming out, Jing Chu saw Chaoyang had bought a lot.

"What are these?"

"Large bones, neck bones, and a set of pig offal."

"Okay, I’ll buy some starch. Aunt Jiang taught me how to make sausage, this time we got small intestines too, we should make some."

Jing Chu bought ten pounds of starch from the supply cooperative and also bought a few pounds of lean meat.

The two entered the house together with Lv Beiguang.

"Dad, where did you go? My sister-in-law is pregnant."

"I know, I went to the hospital to ask the doctor for any advice, worried your brother and sister-in-law might miss something. What did you two buy? Pork?"

"Bone, neck bone, and pig offal, I’ll make sausage later. I’ve learned from Aunt Jiang."

"Okay, I’ll wash them."

"Uncle Lv, I can handle it myself, but I think the starch is not enough."

"Yes, but I’ve bought all the ones from the supply cooperative."

"No worries, I’ll ride the bike to get more, I know where to buy. Jing Chu, ask your sister-in-law if there’s anything she wants to eat."

"Dad, Aunt She said she has two carp at home, so have my brother go get them tonight."

"Alright, you prepare, I’ll go get the starch, will twenty pounds be enough?"

"Should be enough, but I’m not sure."

Guodong was in the room hugging Li Xue, letting her lean on him, the young couple listening to the family talk outside.

"Guodong, I’m really happy to have married you. You’re good to me, and the family treats me well too." She thought of how everyone moved into action because of her pregnancy, all for her good.

"Haha, I’m also very happy to have married you. Xue’er, I’ll love you forever, only you. I’ll make sure you’re happy for life."
