693: Chapter 692 What do you an?
Lu Zheng’s heart ached for his wife, and he couldn’t bear to see her suffer.
“Grandma!
Lin Xia will definitely throw up if she eats these!
How about I eat them!
I love them!”
As he spoke, he quickly reached out with his chopsticks and took a large piece of fish from Lin Xia’s bowl.
Fang Youlan’s face turned ugly in an instant, “Xiaozheng!
What do you an?
Grandma has only good intentions…”
Shao irou quickly tried to smooth things over, “Mom!
The kids didn’t an anything else!” She hurriedly said to Lin Xia, “Lin Xia, why don’t you try the pickled vegetables and see how they are?” She gave Lin Xia a aningful look as she spoke.
Lin Xia understood Shao irou’s intention.
Facing the gaze of everyone at the table, she didn’t want to make the situation awkward.
So, acting obligingly, she picked up a bite of the pickled vegetables and began to eat.
But perhaps because the pickled vegetables were cooked with at oil, she felt nauseous before she could swallow it, utterly unable to control herself.
She covered her mouth and hurriedly stood up, rushing toward the restroom.
Lu Zheng, worried, wanted to follow her to see how she was doing but Shao irou quickly grabbed the corner of his shirt and subtly signaled him with her eyes.
If their son followed now, she could guarantee his grandmother’s face would be as long as Changbai Mountain!
They rarely ca here, and only occasionally like this.
Why make it unpleasant?
Lu Zheng also knew his grandmother had quite so prejudices against Lin Xia, so he had to temporarily suppress his concern and sat still in his original position.
“Such a strong reaction?” Fang Youlan’s face was disgruntled as if Lin Xia’s sudden need to vomit made it seem like she was forcing her on purpose!
Shao irou continued the conversation, “Yes!
The child throws up if she eats the wrong things!”
Lu Qing, who had been silent beside Song Wanjun, suddenly stood up, volunteering, “I’ll go check on my sister-in-law!”
Shao irou smiled, “Good!
Quickly go take a look!”
Lu Qing, being from the sa generation as Lin Xia, was the most appropriate person at the table to go check on her.
After Lu Qing left, Fang Youlan casually asked, “So what can she eat without throwing up?”
Shao irou answered, “Plain congee, spicy cabbage, boiled eggs, noodles, dumplings.
She can eat so light foods!
She doesn’t really eat greasy or strong-flavored foods!”
Fang Youlan couldn’t help but complain, “irou!
Why didn’t you say so earlier on the phone?
If you had ntioned it earlier, couldn’t we have prepared sothing?
We can’t let my great-grandson go hungry now that she’s finally co ho!”
Lu Zheng frowned unintentionally, finding the comnt sowhat offensive.
He was just about to speak but was pinched on the back of his hand by Shao irou.
Lu Guangqi noticed his grandson’s displeasure and asked, “Xiaozheng, when do you plan to go back?”
He already knew why his grandchildren ca back, so now was the perfect ti to ask this question.
“We’re planning to go back in the next few days!” Lu Zheng would have liked to stay longer, but with the New Year approaching and many things to tend to at work, he had to rush back soon.
“Hmm!” Lu Guangqi then asked, “Is Lin Xia going back with you?”
Before Lu Zheng could answer, Fang Youlan quickly said, “It’s almost New Year’s, so I think it’s better if Lin Xia stays for the New Year instead of going back and forth!
Pregnant won need to be very careful…irou!
Am I right?”
With half a month to the New Year, if Lin Xia traveled back with Lu Zheng, she might not be able to handle another trip back during New Year.
Lin Xia, being pregnant, wasn’t as resilient as before, and Shao irou was also worried about her traveling back and forth from the provincial city to Lu Zheng’s place and possibly encountering complications.
“Actually, I was thinking the sa!
But let’s wait for the two children to discuss it later!
Lin Xia’s grandfather and siblings are still here…”
Lu Zheng indeed had the idea of letting Lin Xia stay, but he still wanted to ask his wife’s opinion first…
Lin Xia, after feeling better, fixed herself up a bit before opening the restroom door.
It was then that she realized Lu Qing was leaning against the wall next to it, seemingly having waited for a while.
“You go ahead!”
Lu Qing tugged at the corner of her mouth, “I’m not going to the restroom!
I ca to check on you.
Are you alright?”
It seems that being pregnant really isn’t such a great thing!
She looked at Lin Xia, who used to be beautiful and vibrant, but who had beco less interested in dressing up because of the pregnancy.
She had simply tied her hair in a low ponytail, and perhaps because she had been vomiting, her face was pale, and her eyes were slightly red.
Lin Xia was indifferent toward Lu Qing, “It’s nothing!”
Although they didn’t et often, Lu Qing rembered the things she had done and the faces she had made!
Seeing Lin Xia start to walk away, Lu Qing quickly reached out to stop her and whispered, “Lin Xia!
Don’t rush off!
I have sothing to ask you!”
She had always wanted to ask Lin Xia, but they hadn’t had a chance to et, and it was sowhat difficult to bring up over the phone.
“Go ahead!” Lin Xia could tell from Lu Qing’s expression that it was probably about Jiang Mingyuan!
Lu Qing let go of her hand and licked her lips, “Jiang Mingyuan broke up with your cousin, didn’t he?”
She was truly overjoyed when she learned the news!
She had said it before, Lin Xia’s cousin and Jiang Mingyuan were simply not a good match, and they were bound to part ways eventually!
And it had actually happened just as she said!
Lin Xia retorted, “If you already know, why bother asking ?”
Lu Qing frowned, “I heard it from Jiang Mingqing, but she doesn’t know the specific reasons either!”
She was especially curious about the reasons for their breakup!
Even though her parents were against her being with Jiang Mingyuan, she still couldn’t give up on him!
Lin Xia replied indifferently, “If she doesn’t know, I know even less!
Let’s go back, staying here too long isn’t good!” With that, she stepped away.
Lu Qing could only reluctantly stamp her foot and follow behind Lin Xia, one after the other, back to the dining room.
After the al, Shao irou and Lin Xia left, and Lu Pengfei’s family of three also went out.
Lu Shuhui’s husband went to work, but Lu Shuhui was stopped by Fang Youlan under so pretext.
“Mom!
What is it?
I’m in a hurry to get to work!”
Fang Youlan motioned for Lu Shuhui to be quiet with a shushing gesture, walked to the bedroom door, opened it slightly to make sure no one was outside, then closed the door carefully and returned to sit down beside the bed.
“Shuhui!
Looking at Lin Xia’s pregnancy, do you think it’s a girl or a boy?”
Lu Shuhui helplessly spread her hands, “Mom!
Do you think I have X-ray vision?
She just got pregnant, how can I easily tell?”
Fang Youlan pursed her lips, “I think it might be a girl!
Look at how severe her reactions are!
Also, there’s that saying ‘sour for girls and spicy for boys’!
I specifically asked your sister-in-law, and she likes spicy food and doesn’t really want to eat sour things at all!
You know Xiaozheng can only have this one child!
What if it’s a girl?
Wouldn’t that be the end of the line?
It’s all your brother’s fault for not having his act together!
If he and your sister-in-law had a few more children, I wouldn’t have to worry about this so much!”
Speaking of this, Fang Youlan was filled with aggravation!
In Lu Pengcheng’s generation, being an only child was not the norm!
He had, in fact, complied early with the one-child policy, by having just one child!
Lu Shuhui dismissed it, “Mom!
You’re overthinking it!
Relying on what one likes to eat to determine whether it’s a girl or a boy is too arbitrary!
When I was pregnant with Heping, I really craved spicy food!”
Having said that, she glanced at the ti; her lunch break was limited, and she was anxious to get back to work.
