Chapter 128 His heart had something to worry about.
"Huh? No way." As Asian women, the sisters-in-law couldn't empathize at all and found it hard to believe.
Shu Yun shrugged. "That's right. They are generally taller than Asians, but their sweat glands are also very developed. The abundant secretion naturally produces a special odor, so haven't you noticed that their perfumes are particularly strong? It's to cover up their body odor."
"Oh, I see." After hearing Shu Yun's explanation, the group immediately lost their fascination with foreigners and became uninterested, instead talking to Shu Yun about precautions to take during pregnancy.
"You should eat more tofu, dried tofu, soybeans, and other legumes from western Zhejiang. If possible, eat more fish balls. If you get enough nutrition, your child will grow well."
"Oh right, leafy green vegetables are also essential. When I was pregnant, I was very picky about food and only wanted to eat meat every day. I didn't eat many leafy vegetables. When I went to the hospital, they said I was deficient in folic acid and I had to pay for medication. The doctor said it could prevent neural tube defects in the fetus, but I've forgotten what he said. Anyway, it's good for you."
Shu Yun nodded repeatedly, and even ran to the study to get paper and pen to write it down, but was stopped by her sisters-in-law. "What's there to remember? Don't be too nervous. If you don't know anything, just ask. We live so close, what's inconvenient about it?"
Shu Yun nodded, and the group chatted for a while before heading home to prepare dinner. However, just before leaving, Tian Xiufen pulled Shu Yun back and whispered in her ear, "I didn't tell you because I was afraid you'd be shy, but you're only pregnant for a short time, so you can't let your husband have his way. If Xiao Gu really can't hold back, you two should sleep in separate rooms. Right now, the baby's needs are the priority."
Tian Xiufen's earnest admonitions made Shu Yun blush deeply, as if she and Gu Jun were so immature.
Tian Xiufen found Shu Yun's expression amusing. "What's there to be embarrassed about? You're almost a mother, why are you still so shy?"
……
When Gu Jun returned, Shu Yun told him all the pregnancy precautions her sisters-in-law had told her, including what Tian Xiufen had whispered to her.
Gu Jun took notes very seriously. He paused at the end, looked at Shu Yun for a while, and nodded when Shu Yun looked at him with a puzzled expression. "I understand."
You know? Are you sure you know? Shu Yun felt that Gu Jun's gaze was strange.
But she soon found out why. After Gu Jun accompanied her to her prenatal checkup, the bespectacled doctor looked at the report and nodded. "The test results are all normal. How has your appetite been lately?"
Shu Yun replied, "It's alright. Apart from the initial morning sickness, I have basically no symptoms now, and my appetite has even improved quite a bit."
The doctor smiled and said, "This is normal. It shows that this baby cares about his mother."
Gu Jun asked some more questions about precautions during pregnancy, and then, with Shu Yun relaxed, Gu Jun asked very seriously, "Is it suitable for couples to have sex during pregnancy?"
What?! Shu Yun almost slipped off the chair, but Gu Jun supported her waist and helped her back onto the chair.
Shu Yun stared at Gu Jun in shock. How could he possibly say those words?!
The doctor was also slightly shocked. It wasn't that no one had asked this question before, but in her decades of practice, very few people had asked it. Many people, even when facing a doctor, found it difficult to overcome their sense of shame.
She adjusted her glasses and looked at the young couple, making Shu Yun want to run away.
"Well, the pregnant woman is now in the second trimester, at 16 weeks, and it's okay to have sex in moderation, but it mainly depends on the pregnant woman's own physical condition."
The doctor paused for a moment, and Shu Yun thought she had finished speaking. She breathed a sigh of relief and was about to stand up when she heard, "However, you should also pay attention to your position during intercourse. The movements should be as gentle as possible to avoid putting pressure on the pregnant woman's abdomen and causing discomfort. Later in the pregnancy, when the belly is too big, it is not suitable to have intercourse."
The doctor explained in great detail, and Shu Yun felt herself sweating. It wasn't until Gu Jun led her out of the outpatient building that Shu Yun finally came to her senses. She glared at Gu Jun angrily and said, "Is this what you call knowing? You know nothing!"
Gu Jun said helplessly, "Didn't you tell me about this so I would ask about the specifics?"
Gu Jun acted shamelessly, deliberately misinterpreting Shu Yun's meaning. Shu Yun was so angry that she stomped hard on Gu Jun's leather shoe, leaving a footprint on the black leather. "You're slandering me! Do you know how embarrassing it was when the doctor was looking at me? If there were a hole in the ground, I would have crawled into it!"
Gu Jun retorted, "The ground is full of rats; you'd have to jump out the moment you go in."
Shu Yun was speechless. She couldn't argue with Gu Jun, so she pinched his arm and said, "Baby, look at your dad. You weren't even born yet, and he's already bullying Mommy."
Gu Jun found it amusing. "Let's see who made the first move?"
Before Shu Yun could speak, a sweet chestnut was stuffed into her mouth. The chestnut was still warm, fragrant and sweet. Shu Yun ate one and then looked at Gu Jun's pocket, "Are there any more?"
Gu Jun peeled a few more for her. "There are more."
……
Life went on uneventfully. Although spring had arrived outside, the temperature remained low due to the influence of cold air.
That day, when Shu Yun came home from get off work with her small bag, she rarely saw Gu Jun at home. He diligently cleaned the yard inside and out. The firewood in the kitchen was obviously freshly cut and piled high. The water in the large vat in the yard had also been changed. She raised her eyebrows and said, "Why are you so diligent today? Did you do something wrong? Tell me honestly."
After becoming pregnant, Shu Yun became more lively and more childlike. Of course, this was only in relation to Gu Jun. Towards others, Shu Yun remained the same as always. Whenever Gu Jun noticed this change in Shu Yun, his heart felt as happy as if it were bubbling with joy.
As she spoke, Shu Yun made a grabbing motion with her hand, pressing it against Gu Jun's waist. Gu Jun helplessly grabbed Shu Yun's slightly cold hand, breathed warm air on it, and said, "Didn't I tell you to wear gloves?"
Shu Yun: "It's inconvenient to wear it."
Gu Jun pulled her to a seat. "Xiao Yun, I'm going on a mission soon, a field training exercise, which may last for one or two months."
This camping exercise was already on a very small scale. The large-scale camping exercise two years ago involved both military and civilians training together, with workers going to villages, farmers going to cities, soldiers going to mountains, and students going to military units. It lasted from winter to summer. So when Gu Jun learned that this camping operation would be shorter, he couldn't deny that he felt relieved. He already had someone on his mind, and they were expecting their child. How could he not worry about them?
As soon as Gu Jun finished speaking, Shu Yun's smile faded. It would be a lie to say she wasn't sad, especially since she had become extra clingy to Gu Jun after becoming pregnant.
