Chapter 195 – Concern and Touched

Upon opening the package, Lu Xia realized that although it looked large, it actually contained several smaller packages. It seemed that Uncle Jiang and the Jiang sisters had each prepared things separately and sent them all together.

Indeed, when she opened the top letter, she found many words from Uncle Jiang, expressing the family’s happiness and concern after hearing about Lu Xia’s pregnancy.

Among them, Aunt Jiang also mentioned many precautions during pregnancy. After all, there were only two young people here, and it was evident that the family was quite worried. Even Grandpa Jiang personally wrote her a letter, advising her to take good care of herself and not worry too much about other things.

The responses from his sisters were more or less the same, all expressing concern for her health and preparing many things for the baby.

Lu Xia felt a twinge of jealousy seeing how much attention the Jiang family was giving to the child.

But she quickly realized that regardless of anything else, the child was hers, and their concern for the baby was also a form of concern for her.

Meanwhile, after Jiang Junmo read the letters, he carefully took out a few sheets of paper and put them away.

Lu Xia was puzzled, “Why are you taking those out separately? Won’t you put them back in the box with the other letters?”

Jiang Junmo shook his head, “I don’t need those. But I have to look at these from time to time.”

“What kind of letters do you need to read frequently?” Most of the letters she had seen were handed over to her, and they were mostly just some advice. Nothing special, right?

Jiang Junmo clearly didn’t want her to see them, “It’s nothing, just some recipes they wrote for me about the changes in taste during pregnancy. I need to memorize them.”

“Your brothers-in-law wrote you a letter too?” Lu Xia was a bit suspicious of his cautious behavior, but she didn’t probe further. ‘Tsk, what’s so good about hiding the recipes?’

Saying that, she ignored him and lowered her head to look at the package.

Jiang Junmo finally heaved a sigh of relief and carefully put away the “Pregnancy Precautions for Brother-in-law” and “Complete Guide to Pregnancy Language Art” from his brothers-in-law.

At this time, Lu Xia also opened the package.

This time, they sent a lot of things, and they were all relatively rare.

There were things like brown sugar, oat milk powder, cloth, and cotton. Not to mention that they even sent quite a bit of baby formula, which was hard to come by.

Apart from these, there were some baby items, such as bottles, small cotton quilts, little clothes, and the like, all fully prepared.

It could be said that they wouldn’t need to prepare much before the baby was born.

After seeing these things, Lu Xia felt a mix of complexity and touched. Within such a short time of receiving the letters, they had prepared so much. It must have been quite a lot of effort, showing how much they cared about them.

Aside from all this, the stack of money in the bulging envelope also made her feel overwhelmed.

Looking at all these items and money, Lu Xia sighed, “I told you to tell them not to send so much, we have money. I didn’t expect them to send so much again.”

Jiang Junmo also felt touched, “They are afraid that we won’t live well.”

“Yeah.”

Lu Xia thought for a moment and finally said, “Let’s be good to them in the future.”

“Yes, we will.”

The two of them slowly finished packing everything and felt relieved. With all these things sent from home, their initial confusion and helplessness about the pregnancy were now settled.

With such comprehensive preparation, there should be no major issues.

And their family also sent many meat tickets, so they shouldn’t have much trouble getting meat in the future.

Chapter 196 – Recognized by the Doctor

.

In August, Lu Xia and Jiang Junmo went to the county town together.

By this time, she was already over three months pregnant, and the baby was more stable, so Jiang Junmo was more at ease with her going out.

The main purpose of this trip was to visit the hospital. Jiang Junmo had been overly cautious since Lu Xia became pregnant, always feeling that nothing was safe for her and not letting her do anything.

It was making Lu Xia feel neurotic, so she decided to visit the hospital, have the doctor educate them on some precautions, and see if they needed to be so cautious.

Surprisingly, Lu Xia didn’t get motion sickness on the car this time, probably because it was summer, and there weren’t many people on the road.

But Jiang Junmo attributed all this to the baby’s influence.

“This child knows how to take care of its mother. My second sister was so nauseous during pregnancy, she couldn’t eat many things, and the child she gave birth to turned out to be mischievous. Our child won’t trouble you, and it will definitely be an obedient baby when born.”

Lu Xia: “…” How can you link everything to that?

She always felt that he had become more foolish since learning about her pregnancy. He would come up with all sorts of weird ideas, and sometimes she couldn’t keep up with his train of thought.

But every time he said something, Lu Xia just kept herself composed.

Upon arriving at the hospital, they went to the gynecology department again. Lu Xia felt a bit embarrassed, thinking about the previous visit. When she looked at Jiang Junmo, she noticed his ears were also red, probably thinking the same thing.

On their way to the examination room, Lu Xia secretly prayed that it wouldn’t be the same doctor as last time.

Unfortunately, fate had other plans, and they found the same doctor again.

Luckily, it had already been six months since that incident, so she probably didn’t remember. When she saw them this time, her gaze didn’t change; it was the same as their first meeting.

Lu Xia was relieved and then spoke, “Hello, Doctor. I’m pregnant and want to see how the baby is doing. Also, are there any precautions I need to be aware of?”

The doctor took another look at them and said, “Oh… pregnant, huh?”

Then she seemed to remember something and smiled, “You have a child now? It seems the child and you are fated to be together. Okay, just take good care of yourself now. Your age is the right time to have a baby. No matter how difficult the situation is, you should be able to overcome it with effort.”

Hearing this, both Lu Xia and Jiang Junmo blushed and realized that the doctor probably recognized them.

Could doctors have such good eyesight? Otherwise, how could she remember them after such a long time?

But the doctor had already asked her to follow her for the examination, so she couldn’t say anything.

After the examination, the doctor said, “Everything looks good. Just take care of yourself, eat well, don’t be too lazy, and walk more. It will help with the delivery.”

Hearing this, Jiang Junmo was no longer embarrassed and asked many questions about precautions. After the doctor shared all her knowledge, they thanked her and left.

After they left, the doctor shook her head silently. She had thought that the two of them looked so good when she first saw them—handsome and beautiful. If they had a baby, it would undoubtedly be even more beautiful. She didn’t expect it to happen so quickly. It seemed like they changed their minds. Both of them seemed to like children a lot, so she was relieved.

Lu Xia and Jiang Junmo had no idea that the doctor remembered them because of their outstanding looks. After leaving the hospital, Jiang Junmo wanted to support Lu Xia while walking, but she refused.

“The doctor said there’s no need to be so cautious. I’ll just be a bit more careful in daily life. Besides, I can handle some chores at home, so I shouldn’t just sit around.”

Jiang Junmo thought about what the doctor had said earlier and reluctantly agreed, but he said, “You don’t need to go to work. If you can’t sit still, you can do some things at home, but don’t overwork yourself.”

Lu Xia nodded, “Don’t worry, I understand.”
