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

Chapter 332 Unreliable, all of them unreliable!

"What palace intrigue dramas? You're not going to be stupid for three years after giving birth, are you?"

Looking at her beloved daughter, whom she cherished dearly, Lin Nanxing couldn't help but feel a pang of emotion. Such a tiny little girl had grown up so quickly, and now she was going to be a mother!

“I’m not worried about your delivery. There are C-sections now, and the technology is very mature, so there’s no need to worry about that. But eating too much can easily lead to gestational hypertension and diabetes, and you’ll suffer because of that.”

Lu Youyou nodded. A half-baked doctor meeting a real medical expert could only listen attentively.

"Besides, you love beauty so much. What if you can only fit half of your old clothes in the baby's clothes after you have a baby? Can you accept that?"

She immediately changed her mind from nodding to shaking her head. Lu Youyou couldn't accept that getting pregnant would cause such a dramatic change in her life; it was too irresponsible of her.

"So, as for spicy cold beef, just eat a little bit as a token gesture! Your dad is a doting father, he gives you whatever you want. As for Qingye, you probably wouldn't listen to him anyway... No, I'll have to take care of you myself!"

Lu Youyou's smile froze for a second.

The image of that bright red, glistening beef was still lingering in her mind. She had to muster up a lot of willpower to keep her mouth from watering; eating just a little bit would be the death of her!
"Mom~"

"Calling me 'Mom' won't help. I'm doing this for your own good!" Lin Nanxing gently tapped Lu Youyou's forehead. "You're such a grown-up, still acting like a child. Aren't you afraid the child will laugh at you?"

Lu Youyou pointed to her small belly, which showed no signs of swelling or undulation, and laughed loudly: "It's not much bigger than a sesame seed now, what's so funny? Besides, isn't this what it wants to eat? I'm just a mouthpiece."

"Yes, yes, you're still a Didi delivery person!" Lin Nanxing said irritably.

Lu Youyou couldn't help but laugh again, having not heard such a "trendy" word in a long time.

"Alright, alright, take it easy. Doesn't your back hurt? Don't slouch like that, keep up the right posture..."

The professional doctor came online again, and Lu Youyou had no choice but to admit defeat and pick up her chopsticks to eat first.

I don't know if pregnant women's sense of taste is really that sensitive, or if it's just psychological after confirming pregnancy. Although Lu Youyou can eat everything on the table, she feels that the taste of each one is different.

The vegetables don't taste like vegetables, the meat doesn't taste like meat, and even the white rice doesn't taste the same as before.

The more she ate, the clearer the image of the cold beef became. At first it was 360P, but now it's high-definition 4K. Seriously, it's so clear it's about to jump out of her head and slap her tongue.

"What's wrong? Is it not tasty? Or can't you eat?" Lin Nanxing asked.

"It's alright, I can eat it." Lu Youyou nodded emotionlessly.

"Then what are you doing, counting grains of rice?"

Lu Youyou looked down and saw that the rice in the bowl had only suffered minor damage, and she had separated the clumps of rice grains.

"Ahem, it's nothing, I was just thinking about beef."

Lin Nanxing had no choice but to say, "You have to eat something. How can you eat spicy and numbing food on an empty stomach? What if you get an upset stomach? You can't take medicine when you're pregnant."

Okay, Lu Youyou picked up a piece of beef with her chopsticks and put it in her mouth. She'd eat a little more for the sake of her beef.

Forty minutes later, the person who bought the beef returned. When Lin Nanxing saw the large bag that Gu Qingye was carrying, his temples began to throb.

I knew men couldn't be relied on, husbands were unreliable, and sons-in-law were no different!
Is it really necessary to buy so much? It must weigh seven or eight, maybe even ten pounds!

Lu Zhiyu strode in, but worried that the smell of meat on his body might offend his daughter, so he stopped a meter away from Lu Youyou.

"Youyou, Daddy bought the beef tenderloin. I'll make it for you right away. Don't worry, it'll be ready in a bit!" Before Lu Youyou could even speak, Lin Nanxing couldn't help but ask, "Old Lu, how are you going to finish all this?"

Lu Zhiyu waved his hand dismissively: "Hey, it's only a few pounds. Beef tends to shrink, so there won't be much left after cooking."

Lin Nanxing almost laughed in exasperation. No matter how much the material was reduced, it shouldn't have taken this much. She was afraid that her daughter had too much self-control and would create difficulties even if there were none!
Lu Youyou's eyes lit up. With the raw materials in hand, how far away could the finished product be?

The beef hasn't even been tasted yet, but just imagining it makes my mouth water.

"Where did you buy the meat at this hour?" she asked curiously.

“We went to Jubao Yuan in Niujie. Dad has an acquaintance there, so he bought the meat directly from the kitchen.”

If Gu Qingye went out alone, he might not be able to buy it tonight.

The nearby Dongdan Market has been closed for a long time, and other markets like Chongwenmen Market and Chaonei Market are probably the same. Only restaurant kitchens might have any leftover stock.

Businesses that are struggling won't stock up on this much meat, and businesses that are doing well won't sell it to you. If Lu Zhiyu didn't have an old acquaintance working at Jubao Yuan, it would be really hard to buy so much beef.

Lu Zhiyu had already gone into the kitchen, and Lin Nanxing invited Gu Qingye to come and eat first.

Gu Qingye was about to decline when Lu Zhiyu poked his head out from the kitchen: "Little Gu, you eat first, take care of Youyou, don't worry about me."

Lin Nanxing was both amused and exasperated. Luckily, Gu Qingye only had Youyou in his heart and eyes. If it were a petty son-in-law, he would probably be unhappy to hear this.

While she was worrying about the relationship between her father-in-law and son-in-law, she turned her head and saw Gu Qingye patiently asking his daughter if she wanted to eat this or that, his voice so soft it was as if he was afraid of blowing her away.

Well, they're all unreliable, absolutely unreliable!

Lu Youyou sensed her mother's gaze and something seemed off: "Mom, what's wrong?"

"Nothing, hurry up and eat!" Lin Nanxing suddenly felt like she had endless worries. "Oh right, it's the weekend tomorrow, are you free this morning?"

"Yes...cough cough...or not." Seeing her mother's expression, Lu Youyou quickly changed her words.

She was originally planning to go to the lab tomorrow, but now...

"Then don't go back tonight, just stay at home. I'll take you to the hospital for a check-up tomorrow, so you can feel at ease once it's confirmed."

What could Lu Youyou say but agree? Her own daughter was pregnant, and her own mother suddenly turned fierce. Who could she complain to?

After dinner, Gu Qingye sought advice from Lin Nanxing on precautions during pregnancy. He even took paper and a pen, and wrote down each sentence Lin Nanxing spoke.

On the other side of the sofa, Lu Youyou had already started pecking at the rice like a chick; she was a little sleepy after eating her fill.

Lin Nanxing had intended to wake her up to listen together, but before she could even speak, Gu Qingye had already gotten up and laid her flat on the sofa, and even went into the room to get a towel blanket to cover her up.

Oh well, it's certainly a good thing that my son-in-law is so attentive and considerate to my daughter. She just has to take better care of her!

The "Pregnant Couples and Dads" mini-class is underway here, while the cold-served beef is ready over there.

The overpowering aroma of Sichuan peppercorns and chili peppers chased away drowsiness; even a pregnant woman who had fallen asleep during a lecture was awakened by the smell.

"Ah, the beef smells so good!"
