1970s: Hot wife accompanies the army, cold-faced rough man is not easy to tease

Chapter 331 Spicy Cold Beef
A sudden surge of stomach acid left Lu Youyou no time to think about anything else; she covered her mouth and ran outside.

She lay by the pool, feeling nauseous but unable to vomit. The food she ate during the day had long since been digested, but waves of acidic fluid were threatening to drown her throat.

"long?!"

Gu Qingye rushed over with the speed of Niu Sihe Zhongbing, helped Lu Youyou lean against him, and immediately handed her a cup of warm water when she felt a little better.

Within seconds, several possibilities had already flashed through his mind: food poisoning, or dizziness and vomiting caused by cervical spondylosis.

"What's going on?" Lin Nanxing and Lu Zhiyu also rushed over.

Lin Nanxing instinctively wanted to take her pulse, but the next second Lu Youyou started gagging again and clung to the pool, unable to let go.

After the nausea finally subsided, she said haltingly, "It's nothing, I probably... ate something bad for lunch..."

My throat is dry, sore, and painful; it sounds like I have a bad cold as soon as I open my mouth.

Upon hearing this, Lu Zhiyu became anxious: "Then we need to go to the hospital right away, get an IV drip if necessary, and get injections if needed."

When Lu Youyou was little, she had a period when her stomach was particularly weak. She often vomited and had diarrhea, and had to go to the hospital many times in the middle of the night. It was her maternal grandfather who took good care of her for half a year before she recovered.

Seeing his daughter vomit again, Lu Zhiyu's immediate thought is that she has an acute attack of gastroenteritis.

Gu Qingye half-supported Lu Youyou to sit on the sofa, and Lin Nanxing reached out and put his hand on her wrist.

Within seconds, most of the tension on Lin Nanxing's face disappeared: "Is your period late this month?"

Lu Youyou was stunned for a moment before she remembered that it had been delayed by more than a week.

She's been busy with student recruitment lately, and both projects have moved to the next stage. She's been so busy that she's neglected this.

Lin Nanxing's eyes and brows were full of smiles: "You're pregnant, Youyou!"

Lu Youyou felt the hands beside her tighten instantly, and Gu Qingye's breathing became noticeably heavier.

"What? Really?!" Lu Zhiyu exclaimed.

He was the one with the strongest reaction in the room. He had only this one daughter in both his lives, and this was the first time he had become a grandfather in both of his lives. How could he not be excited?!
He never pressured her to have children. Lu Youyou could live her whole life without getting married or having children, but the thought of seeing a little baby who looked just like her daughter in ten months made her grin from ear to ear.

Lu Youyou was still in a daze.

She is pregnant?

She's pregnant already?

They've been taking measures, so...

Calculating the time, Lu Youyou suddenly remembered something: a little over a month ago, the two of them had been "acting up" in the Water Valley Room...

Her face suddenly turned red, and she moved her hand, which was at her side, half an inch to the left and pinched it hard.

Gu Qingye is all muscle and can't be pinched. His main message is, "It's all your fault. If I'm not comfortable, you can't be comfortable either."

Unfortunately, the usually considerate man didn't grasp the main point this time, thinking she was feeling unwell again: "What's wrong, Youyou? Are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere?"

Lu Youyou blushed and glared at him, then whispered, "Is it something to be proud of?"

Lin Nanxing looked at the young couple with a smile: "It's been more than a month. Everything else is fine, but you're a little tired and exhausted."

Gu Qingye pressed further, "Does the back pain have any impact?"

After he mentioned Lu Youyou's problem, Lin Nanxing immediately glared at his daughter. Lu Youyou immediately begged for forgiveness: "Mom, I didn't know! If I had known I was pregnant, I definitely wouldn't have done this. Don't worry, I'll definitely be careful in the future and won't tire myself out!"

After she finished speaking, she nudged Gu Qingye from behind again. Before she could pull her hand back, he gently grasped hers. However, since nothing could be seen from his face, no one knew that the two of them were playing cat and mouse behind his back.

Suddenly, Lu Youyou's stomach growled, and Lu Zhiyu became anxious again.

"Hurry up and eat! You can't go hungry while you're pregnant! Youyou, look at the table and see if there's anything you don't like or don't want to eat. Daddy will make you something new!"

As she spoke, she first carried the braised mandarin fish to the corner furthest away from her daughter.

This question stumped Lu Youyou. She sniffed and smelled the slightly mixed smell of food in the air. Apart from the fishy smell, the rest seemed okay.
"That's fine, Dad, don't worry, this is enough."

I don’t know if it’s because pregnant women are really a little special, but as soon as Lu Youyou finished talking, a vivid picture of a plate of spicy cold beef popped into her mind.

Gumbling—

The room was quiet, everyone was waiting for her answer, so the sound of her swallowing was especially noticeable.

Lin Nanxing suppressed a laugh and said, "Just tell me what you want to eat, and I'll have your dad make it for you. Pregnant women have all sorts of strange cravings, so just tell me."

Lu Youyou originally wanted to hold back, since where could she find beef so late at night? But the more she held back, the clearer the images in her mind became, and she could almost smell the aroma of Sichuan peppercorns and chili peppers.

Gumbling—

Lu Youyou blushed a little. She didn't want to make things difficult for people, but she really couldn't help herself at this moment.

"I want to eat spicy cold beef, the meat should be a bit dry, and there should be a lot of chili oil..."

As soon as she finished speaking, Gu Qingye said, "I'll go buy it now, you eat first."

He got up and took a few steps, then asked Lin Nanxing again, still worried, "Mom, can Youyou eat such strong-flavored food now?"

"You can eat a little if you want, just enough." Lin Nanxing nodded in satisfaction.

Her son-in-law always keeps her daughter in his heart, and as her family, she is naturally happy.

Gu Qingye gently squeezed Lu Youyou's shoulder, bent down and whispered in her ear, "I'll be back in a bit."

"Wait, I'll go with you." Lu Zhiyu followed. "The market definitely doesn't have beef left at this hour. I'll take you somewhere else to buy some."

As soon as the two men left, Lin Nanxing became much more open about her things. She first slapped her daughter's hand in annoyance, but seeing that her face was still pale, she touched her face with heartache.

"You, you're usually not a careless person, how come you didn't even know you were pregnant? Qingye said your back hurts, is there anything else that's bothering you?"

Lu Youyou dared not be careless. This was the first time in her two lives that she had a baby in her belly, and she was not sure what to expect!
After carefully assessing the pain, and confirming that it was only lower back pain, I said, "No, it's just that my lower back tends to ache after sitting for a long time, and sometimes my shoulder blades and the area around them also hurt a bit after looking down for a long time."

"This is how it is after you get pregnant. Your body secretes relaxin, which loosens the pelvic ligaments and reduces the stability of the lumbar spine. You can't stand or sit for long periods of time. You need to get up and move around every now and then."

Lin Nanxing explained briefly and first served her a bowl of yam and pork bone soup: "Try it first and see if you can get used to the taste. Bone soup is a good source of calcium."

After carefully skimming the milky white soup, there was almost no oil. Lu Youyou took a sip.

"It's alright, there's nothing strange about it."

"You need to be careful about what you eat and drink from now on. Don't just do whatever you want and think that you can eat whatever you want just because you're pregnant, otherwise..."

"I understand, I understand. Too much supplementation makes childbirth difficult, and it'll be harder to lose weight later," Lu Youyou said to her mother in a spoiled tone. "I didn't watch all those palace dramas for nothing."
