Fast Wear: A Different Life

Chapter 313 Bottom Line (23)

After the two returned home and took a short rest, Ji Xiao asked someone to run errands to deliver the gift she bought for Song Feifei and the Mid-Autumn Festival gift box she had prepared.

Zhou Yian walked into the kitchen, put on an apron, and started preparing lunch.

After a while, a sumptuous lunch was served on the table.

After the meal, the two of them went to Zhou Yian’s mother’s house, carrying the mooncakes carefully made by the dim sum chef in the teahouse.

When they reached the door, Ji Xiao raised her hand and pressed the doorbell, and Zhou's mother came to open the door.

When she saw her son and daughter-in-law standing outside the door, a happy smile immediately broke out on her face.

"Mom, we're here! This is the mooncake that Xiaoxiao and I brought specially for you." Zhou Yian said as he handed the mooncake in his hand to his mother.

"Hey, just come if you want to. What else do you want to bring? Come in, come in!" Zhou's mother warmly invited them into the house.

"Xiaoxiao, why don't you take a few more days off?" As soon as they sat down, Zhou's mother took Ji Xiao's hand and asked with concern.

"Yi An was worried that I was not feeling well, so he took me to the hospital for a check-up early this morning. The doctor said there was no serious problem. And we had nothing to do at home in the afternoon, so we came to see you." Ji Xiao replied with a smile.

"That's good, that's good. What did the doctor say specifically?" Zhou's mother continued to ask.

"It's okay, I'm just pregnant, and the doctor told me to have a good rest recently and walk around more when I have nothing to do." Ji Xiao said in a relaxed tone, but she was indeed very relaxed. Not to mention that she had been practicing Yangzhou Slow and Shenhun Jue.

The main reason is that this is not her first pregnancy. She knows all the taboos of pregnancy, and she knows them better than anyone else, but this is indeed the first pregnancy in this body.

Fortunately, her pregnancy reaction was not serious. She was just sleepy and spent most of the day sleeping. She could fall asleep in no time as long as she sat.

But it is better than not eating well or sleeping well. After all, it’s not like you won’t wake up when you sleep.

"Oh~ When we went out to play some time ago, you drove every day. Will it have any impact?" Zhou's mother looked at Ji Xiao with a worried look on her face.

"It's okay, it's just driving, it's not a hard job. And I only found out about it a few days before I came back." Ji Xiao comforted.

At this time, Zhou Yian came out of the kitchen carrying washed fruits. When Zhou's mother saw her son, she began to complain: "An'an, Xiaoxiao is pregnant, you should just rest at home. Just give me a call. Can't I go to your house by myself? What if my eldest grandson or granddaughter is tired?"

Zhou Yian looked at his mother helplessly and explained, "Mom, I can't do anything about it. This is Xiaoxiao's decision. She said she wanted to go out for a walk to relax, and I can't stop her from going out, right? And the doctor also said that a pregnant woman's mood is very important, so she has to stay in a happy mood."

"Well, we still have to listen to the doctor. But by the way, will you take a day off during the Mid-Autumn Festival this year?" Zhou's mother asked Zhou Yian.

"Well, we plan to go to the village tomorrow to celebrate Mid-Autumn Festival with grandma, and tell her the news of Xiaoxiao's pregnancy. We will drive over to pick you up then." Zhou Yian replied.

"Okay, my in-laws' grandmother is old, and we just came back two days ago, so it's not a good idea for her to come to the city now. It's just right for us to go and celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival with her."

Before we knew it, the sun had set and the sunset glowed brilliantly, like the most beautiful painting of nature.

At this moment, night is about to fall and dinner time is quietly approaching.

When Zhou's mother learned the good news that Ji Xiao was pregnant, her mood was as bright as the warm spring sun.

The main reason was that Zhou Yian was already 29 years old, and her former colleague's family already had two grandchildren, so she asked with a smile on her face: "Xiaoxiao, what do you want to eat? Mom will make it for you right away."

Ji Xiao responded gently: "Mom, just do as you see fit, just keep it light."

"Okay, then you and An An sit down and watch TV for a while!" Mother Zhou happily walked into the kitchen and started preparing dinner.

After a while, Zhou's mother prepared delicious food. Zhou's mother enthusiastically called to Zhou Yian, "An'an, bring your wife over to eat!"

"I know, Mom!" Zhou Yian responded, then he and Ji Xiao sat down at the dining table.

Soon, Zhou's mother brought out all the food and said, "It's time to eat!"

At the dinner table, Zhou's mother kept picking up food for Ji Xiao, and her concern was evident in her words. "Xiao Xiao, you have to eat more. You are not eating alone now. You need to supplement nutrition for the baby in your belly."

Ji Xiao smiled and thanked him quickly: "Thank you, Mom."

In fact, Ji Xiao didn't care about Zhou's mother's attitude. After all, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law did not live together. If Ji Xiao hadn't been willing, the child would not have been born so early.

After dinner, Zhou Yian and Ji Xiao continued chatting with Zhou's mother for a while, then got up and said goodbye and went home.

On the way back, Zhou Yian gently said to Ji Xiao, "Xiaoxiao, don't take my mother's words to heart. Let's come back to visit her often when we are free. Besides, we don't live together. If you don't like what she said, just listen to it and don't take it too seriously. I will also find a chance to have a good talk with her."

"Yeah, I understand. Don't worry, I really don't take it to heart."

……

The next day was the Mid-Autumn Festival, so when Ji Xiao was still immersed in a sweet dream, Zhou Yian got up early, and quietly put the cakes sent from the teahouse in the car, and also put the supplements they specially prepared for grandma in the car.

After everything was arranged, he gently woke up Ji Xiao who was still sleeping soundly.

Ji Xiao finished washing up slowly, and after having a leisurely breakfast, the two of them went to pick up Zhou Yian's mother, and then set out on the journey back to the village.

As it was the Mid-Autumn Festival, there was a lot of traffic on the road, with significantly more vehicles than usual, so that the journey that was supposed to take only about an hour ended up taking nearly two hours to reach the destination.

As soon as they entered the courtyard, the three did not see their grandmother in the yard ahead.

"Yian, take mom into the house and rest. I'll go see if grandma is in the backyard."

"Okay, then be careful with your step."

"I know. Mom, you and Yi'an can rest in the house for a while. I'll go find grandma."

"Don't bother. I'll go with you. This is my first time here, so I'll go with you. This yard is so beautifully tidied. An An, come with us."

"Okay, I'll be there right away." Zhou Yian responded, placing the items in his hands on the table in the kitchen.

The three of them walked slowly to the backyard and saw grandma weeding in the small vegetable garden.

"Grandma!" Ji Xiao shouted.

When grandma heard Ji Xiao's voice, she straightened up and looked at them with a smile on her face, "Xiao Xiao is back, Xiao Zhou and my mother-in-law are here too."

"Grandma, I'm so sorry to bother you today!" Mother Zhou walked forward with a smile on her face and held grandma's other arm.

Grandma was so happy that she couldn't stop smiling. She quickly responded, "Oh, no, it's not a bother at all. Come in and sit down."

Grandma couldn't hide her excitement and continued, "Last year, there were only Xiaoxiao and I at home, and it was so quiet. This year, with you guys coming over, it's much more lively now!"

"Then let's celebrate the holidays together every year from now on. An An's dad and I no longer live together, so in the past, it was just the two of us at home during the holidays. Since An An started working, he's sometimes on duty, so I'm the only one at home. This way, it'll be more lively when our two families are together."
