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

Chapter 335 Congratulations, Comrade Lu!
With a small bowl of cold beef, Lu Youyou quickly finished her dry, fragrant, and oily fried noodles.

Is this enough? Would you like some more?

Lu Youyou patted her stomach, which was about 80% full: "No need, it's not good to be too full."

Although she has never had children, after decades of being bombarded with information, she can speak fluently about precautions for pregnancy.

Moreover, she has cared for quite a few pregnant animals, so she can be considered to have left the beginner's village.

"Don't worry about me, just go and do your thing."

This morning, Gu Qingye originally wanted to accompany her to the hospital, but he couldn't get the time off, so he could only pick her up during his lunch break. He still had to rush back to the base later.

He glanced at the time; there were still about forty minutes left. He then bent down, picked up Lu Youyou, and carried her toward the bedroom.

"What are you doing?"

Before Lu Youyou could react, she was put on the bed. Gu Qingye took the loungewear, and if she hadn't held his arm, she probably wouldn't have even had to change her clothes.

"You need to rest more while you're pregnant. How about taking a nap? You can do whatever you want to read or write this afternoon." Gu Qingye turned around and drew the curtains. "I'll wait until you fall asleep before I leave."

Lu Youyou was both amused and exasperated: "Do you really think I'm made of porcelain?"

She was going to take a nap anyway, but having been given a second chance at life, she still cherishes her life and needs to take even better care of herself now that she's pregnant.

Gu Qingye didn't say anything, but just smiled and kissed her on the cheek.

A few seconds later, they kissed again.

Lu Youyou giggled from the tickling sensation and gave him a light push: "What are you doing? Didn't you tell me to take a nap?"

Gu Qingye felt he couldn't get enough of looking at her, and gently stroked the corner of her eye with the back of his hand: "Okay, sleep peacefully, I'll watch over you."

Lu Youyou smiled and closed her eyes, her breathing quickly becoming calm.

Gu Qingye squatted by the bed watching her. Her fair face was sunken in the pillow, like the finest white jade. His hand was placed to the side, not daring to touch her for fear of waking her, but he was also reluctant to leave.

Within this small space, it seemed as if countless fine, dense ropes were reaching out, binding his body and soul to this place, yet he found it all quite pleasant.

He slowly lowered his head and gently kissed those red lips, then reluctantly got up and quietly retreated.

Two door gods were still guarding the entrance. They looked up at him when he came out, but while Chasing Wind Dog's face was calm, Little Grey looked a bit displeased.

It was naturally happy that its mother was going to have a younger brother or sister, but it had been there the whole time the eagle was pregnant. It wasn't comfortable laying eggs, so it must have been even more uncomfortable giving birth.

Little Grey is half happy and half worried, but when it comes to Gu Qingye, it's all just unpleasantness.

If it weren't for him, my mother wouldn't have had to suffer the pain of childbirth.

She rolled her eyes, then rolled them again, and then rolled them one last time, very, very fiercely. Humph, the culprit!

Gu Qingye squatted down and carefully instructed, "Take good care of Mom. Remind her not to lift heavy things. Help Mom carry the lighter things. If there is an emergency and you can't reach me by phone, Little Grey will come to me."

Little Grey turned its head away. It wasn't like it hadn't taken care of pregnant women before. It was in charge of Big Eagle's postpartum meals. It knew a lot!

Gu Qingye knew it understood, so he didn't say anything more and turned to instruct Zhuifeng: "Keep an eye on the gate. If you encounter any bad guys with ill intentions, just go for it without thinking about the consequences."

Chasing Wind nodded silently. It hadn't drawn its sword in a long time, but its fighting spirit remained.

"Okay, I'm leaving."

He patted the two little guys on the head, but his left hand was swept away by Little Grey's wing. Too much nagging, let's go!

Lu Youyou rested at home for a weekend and resumed her normal work schedule on Monday.

She didn't tell anyone, and no one could tell she was pregnant.

Actually, she didn't feel much of a difference herself. She just paid more attention to her work and avoided standing or sitting for too long, afraid that she would forget when she got busy. She even wore a digital watch with only an alarm clock.

This was brought over from Gangcheng by Song's second uncle.

Two days ago, Grandpa Song called to ask about Lu Youyou. He was so excited to learn that she was pregnant that he immediately said he wanted to come back and visit.

However, the old man caught a cold recently, and the Song family was worried about him going back and forth at his age. They finally managed to persuade him to stay, but they could stop him from going.

The old man made a phone call to his second son in Gangcheng, asking him to buy whatever he could, striving to take care of every aspect of the pregnant woman's needs.

Upon receiving the order, Song Jingting promptly purchased ten boxes. It is said that this is only a portion of the total, with some orders coming from overseas that will take some time to arrive.

Song Jingting felt that mailing was too slow, so he had someone bring it directly from the port city to the capital city and deliver it to Lu Youyou.

Needless to say, there are baby clothes and blankets, a cradle and a stroller, and even diapers are prepared.

The person who came also brought a message, asking if she had any favorite brands of baby formula, which would be delivered when she was close to giving birth, as they were worried that buying it now might result in it not being fresh.

These things are indeed hard to buy in China, and when Lu Youyou received them, she couldn't help but admire the thoughtfulness of the Song family.

It took her most of the day to unpack the ten boxes. Inside were not only baby items, but also many gifts for her, including a new Casio digital watch with an alarm clock.

Lu Youyou wears it to work every day, and when the time comes, she pauses her work, either to take a nap or to get up and move around.

Her colleagues on the project team joked that her schedule was getting healthier and healthier, and no one thought about the possibility of her getting pregnant.

She didn't show her pregnancy for the first three months, and by the time she started to show, the weather had cooled down, and with her wearing a coat and overcoat, it was even harder to tell that she was pregnant.

When Lu Youyou was five weeks pregnant, she went to Peking Union Medical College Hospital for an ultrasound. The doctor spent a very long time examining her, so long that even she, with her usually good mindset, was starting to feel a little uneasy. Then, good news came from the sky.

"Congratulations, Comrade Lu, the images show you're having twins," the doctor said, then smiled and congratulated Lin Nanxing.

"Really?" Lin Nanxing was completely taken aback. Lu Youyou's belly size was quite normal, and she hadn't even considered that possibility.

"Look, there are two gestational sacs here..." the doctor pointed to the screen.

Lin Nanxing couldn't wait to step forward and stared at it for a long time. At this moment, the ultrasound image was extremely blurry, but the two small white dots were incredibly clear in her eyes.

Even though she was usually calm and composed, she couldn't help but feel excited at this moment. However, she also became a little worried when she thought about her daughter's not-too-big-to-small belly: "Dr. Liu, how is the embryo developing? Is there anything wrong?"

"The imaging shows everything is normal. Let's see what the obstetrician says. Based on my personal experience, there shouldn't be any problems."

"Okay, okay, thank you!"

"Of course, Congratulations, Dean Lin!"

Lin Nanxing immediately took Lu Youyou to see the head of the obstetrics and gynecology department to check the fetal heart rate and position, confirming that both fetuses were developing normally.

After the initial excitement, Lin Nanxing couldn't stop worrying: "Youyou, you're twins, we need to be even more careful now, let me tell you..."

　We decided on twins, a family planning approach, to achieve the goal in one go.
