Marrying a childless superior, she became pregnant and lived a carefree life in the 1970s.

Chapter 340 Gu Jianing is hospitalized

"Although Commander Lu is an official from out of town, he has been managing our Huansha Island for many years. Over the years, Huansha Island has developed better and better, and Commander Lu has contributed to this. As for the Lin family, heh..."

"The Lin family may not necessarily be good people."

"Perhaps this rumor was spread by the Lin family father and son."

Clearly, there are still many wise people who have disregarded the rumors and seen through the essence and truth of the matter.

These people later rejoiced at their wisdom.

Here, Sheng Zexi left Commander Lu's place.

Then I went home.

He also told Gu Jianing about the rumors circulating outside and the orders he had given.

After listening, Gu Jianing was stunned for a moment, then said calmly, "That's fine too."

Gu Jianing did not agree with issuing a forced order to evacuate.

Over the years, she has come to understand a principle.

That is, if you know someone is in danger, you can help them.

However, if you are willing to lend a helping hand, but the person does not appreciate it, for whatever reason, then do not interfere further.

"Brother Xi, the fact that we can see the future newspaper is a blessing from heaven, an opportunity given to us."

"But opportunities aren't something you can just come to whenever you want."

"Once is a blessing, but any more is unnecessary."

"We can help people, but we don't need to interfere in their fate."

"Everyone has their own destiny, let's respect everyone's destiny."

"There's no need to bear those karmic consequences; as long as we have a clear conscience, that's enough."

This was what Gu Jianing said to comfort Sheng Zexi, and it was also what she was telling herself.

She is not a saint, nor is she responsible for everyone's fate.

Sheng Zexi pulled Gu Jianing into his arms. "You're right."

In fact, Sheng Zexi's thoughts were the same as Gu Jianing's.

Although he is a soldier, a soldier's natural duty is to protect the country and its people.

But he is also a human being, with emotions and desires.

Nothing should be forced; just do your best and have a clear conscience.

"Alright, let's not talk about this anymore. I'll keep an eye on the typhoon. Let me take you to the hospital now," Sheng Zexi said.

Gu Jianing's due date is in the next few days.

However, a strong typhoon is coming tomorrow, and Sheng Zexi is worried that he won't be able to take care of Gu Jianing, so it's more appropriate to send her to the on-site doctor first.

"I've already hired an auntie. She's an auntie from the island, and she's quite nice. I'll have her take care of you."

"it is good."

"What about the stars and the moon?"

"There's no need to go to the daycare right now because of the approaching typhoon."

“I’m not comfortable leaving them alone at home, and it’s not good for them to go to the hospital with you either, so I asked Zhao Weiguo and his wife to help take care of them. During the typhoon, they can stay at Zhao’s house. What do you think? Zhao Weiguo and his wife have agreed.”

Gu Jianing thought for a moment and nodded, "Okay, but we need to ask Xingxing and Yueyue's opinions first."

"Okay, I'll go ask right now."

Soon, Sheng Zexi found Xingxing and Yueyue and told them his decision. "Dad might have to go on a mission, and Mom is going to the hospital to give birth, so she might not be able to take care of you. Therefore, you will stay at Uncle Zhao Weiguo's house for the next few days, and his wife will take care of you. Is that okay with you?"

Xingxing and Yueyue fell silent, exchanging a glance.

Sheng Zexi will probably be very busy because of the typhoon, and he probably won't even be able to go home.

Even if he had the time, he would definitely go to the hospital to check on Gu Jianing's condition as soon as possible.

So, if Xingxing and Yueyue are at home, there's no one to take care of them except for Amber.

If Amber were a person, that would be fine, but Amber is a dog; it can protect them, but it can't take care of them.

Xingxing and Yueyue also thought of this; in fact, they wanted to go to the hospital with their mother.

The two little ones felt that since Mom was going to have a younger brother or sister and Dad was busy, they should go to the hospital to be with Mom and protect her.

But they also know that they are only two years old and still children.

They won't be of any help at all, and might even distract or cause trouble for Mom.

So, even though they didn't want to be separated from their mother, the brother and sister still nodded in agreement.

So, before taking Gu Jianing to the hospital, Sheng Zexi first sent Xingxing and Yueyue to Zhao Weiguo's house, along with a bag of grain, some receipts, and clothes and toiletries for the two little ones.

Zhao Weiguo's wife was gentle and kind, and she welcomed Xingxing and Yueyue's arrival very warmly.

Zhao Weiguo has three children, two girls and one boy.

They are all bigger than the stars and the moon.

These three children are somewhat attracted to good looks, and they were very happy and welcoming of the arrival of the beautiful Xingxing and Yueyue.

"You all stay at Uncle Zhao's house. Once Dad is done with his work and Mom has given birth to your younger brother and sister, we'll come to pick you up and take you home."

"You all need to behave well, okay?" Sheng Zexi instructed before leaving.

Xingxing and Yueyue nodded. Although they were very reluctant to part, they still said, "Daddy, we remember. We will be good and obedient."

"Okay." Sheng Zexi patted their heads, hugged them, and then left.

After returning home, Sheng Zexi took Gu Jianing's luggage and some other things for her to prepare for childbirth and headed to the county hospital.

On the way, I noticed that the weather seemed to have changed significantly.

The air was increasingly hot and stuffy, with low pressure making it hard to breathe.

After Gu Jianing settled into a private room at the county hospital, the wind picked up.

Sheng Zexi looked at the swaying branches outside the window; it was obvious that the wind had picked up considerably.

At this moment, a woman in her late forties or early fifties walked in. She was simply dressed, had a kind face, and gave a pleasant impression.

This is the aunt Sheng Zexi hired to take care of Gu Jianing; she's called Aunt Zhou.

Aunt Zhou is a local from Huansha Island. Because her family is relatively poor, she occasionally works as a caregiver at the county hospital to earn some money to supplement her family's income.

Sheng Zexi knew about her when he came to arrange Gu Jianing's hospitalization and noticed her by chance.

They thought she was alright, so they hired her to take care of Gu Jianing for a while.

Aunt Zhou arrived and quickly got the hang of things after meeting Sheng Zexi and Gu Jianing.

She didn't talk much, but she was very quick and efficient, and very considerate in taking care of people. Gu Jianing had a very good impression of her.

Sheng Zexi has nothing to do for the time being, so he's staying at the hospital with Gu Jianing.

Meanwhile, as darkness gradually fell...

Those islanders who were willing to cooperate with the evacuation have all left; those who were unwilling to leave are still living their lives in their homes.

As night falls, everything seems calm on the surface, but in reality, it's just the calm before the storm...
