After Transmigration, She Sold Herself to a Man as a Wife-Chapter 162
"It's a boy, and both mother and child are safe."
Hearing the words of Wang Sister-In-Law, Luo Ge's heart finally settled down completely, and Gu Jinchen patted her head gently.
"Go and take a look."
"Mm-hmm."
When Luo Ge entered, the things in the room had already been cleared out. Li Qiao was standing guard beside Mian Mian, and next to them was the newborn baby.
It was such a warm family scene.
She wondered why Wang Sister-In-Law and the others had rushed out so quickly.
"Luo Ge! Come and take a look quickly."
Except for being a little pale, Qin Mianmian had obviously recovered quite a bit. Seeing Luo Ge enter, she smiled and waved her hand, even shooing Li Qiao out of the room.
"I wanted you to see him earlier. Look at him."
The newborn baby was red and tiny.
"He's so small," Luo Ge remarked as she looked at him.
Qin Mianmian nodded. "Yes, I feel he's so small that I don't dare hold him."
As she spoke, she patted the side of the bed, indicating for Luo Ge to sit down.
"I must have given you quite a fright earlier?" Qin Mianmian said with a smile, not forgetting Luo Ge's pale face at the time.
Hearing this, Luo Ge looked at her. "Indeed, but you seem to be feeling much better now?"
"Mm-hmm, much more comfortable, just a bit tired," Qin Mianmian smiled.
"Then rest well and take care of yourself. For a woman, the confinement period after childbirth is the most important time to be mindful of."
As Luo Ge spoke, she took out a small longevity lock that she had prepared earlier and placed it beside the baby.
"Ah, but I can't accept such a valuable gift," Qin Mianmian protested before Luo Ge could put it down.
"In the future, with my clumsy body, I may not be able to go out much. This is my early gift for my nephew's full moon celebration. How can I not accept it?"
Saying this, Luo Ge turned to look at her. "Do you mean to go back on letting my nephew recognize me as his aunt?"
Hearing these words, Qin Mianmian was taken aback. "Of course not."
Upon hearing this, Luo Ge smiled and raised her eyebrows, placing the longevity lock down. "Then it's settled."
Seeing this, Qin Mianmian had no choice but to let it go.
However, thinking that she might not be able to see her sister for some time, she couldn't help but give Luo Ge a reminder.
"You should also take care of yourself. The further along you are, the less you should be away from people."
Today, as soon as Li Qiao had left, she had started feeling pain.
They live in a rather remote area, with no one around. She had cried out, but no one could hear her. She was in so much pain that she had no strength to go out. Just thinking about it made her shudder.
Fortunately, Luo Ge and the others arrived in time.
"Okay, I understand. You take care too," Luo Ge nodded with a smile, heeding Qin Mianmian's advice.
Since Qin Mianmian needed to rest, Luo Ge didn't linger long. She left behind some tonics she had brought and gave a few more reminders before leaving.
...After returning home, Gu Jinchen kept gazing at her with a somber expression.
"What's the matter?" Luo Ge felt it was a bit strange to see him like this.
Hearing her voice, Gu Jinchen reached out and touched her protruding belly.
"Dear wife, let's just have this one child, and no more after that, alright?"
Hearing this, Luo Ge was taken aback, clearly not expecting him to say such a thing.
"Okay." She had thought the same way originally.
A single pregnancy with three babies was already very satisfying for her.
"Mm-hmm," Gu Jinchen nodded, also wondering when Doctor Ming would come again.
He had heard that Doctor Ming had a method that men could use, which would not affect their performance but would prevent pregnancy for women.
Today, after seeing Qin Mianmian's delivery, he admitted that he was scared. But he was reluctant to have Luo Ge take any medicine, so he decided to go and ask Doctor Ming about it.
Since Qin Mianmian needed to avoid wind and people during her confinement period, and Luo Ge couldn't go out too often either, Gu Jinchen could only send her some supplies from time to time to help her recover.
...Time passed, and a few more days went by.
The little ones in the family went to the study hall as usual to study, and Gu Jinchen occasionally went to the restaurant to check on things. As for Luo Ge, she stayed at home, bored.
"Dear wife, look what I brought back today."
After his morning run, Gu Jinchen caught some clams on the way back.
Doctor Ming had said that multiple pregnancies might lead to earlier delivery than normal.
Luo Ge was now eight months pregnant, and if she were to give birth early, it would likely be around this month.
Perhaps because the due date was approaching, Luo Ge had been feeling a bit gloomy and anxious.
Remembering how she used to enjoy opening clams, Gu Jinchen brought some back.
"So many clams!"
Seeing what he had brought back, Luo Ge's eyes indeed lit up.
"Yes, we can cook them into porridge and try opening them. Who knows, we might even find some pearls."
Seeing her mood improve, Gu Jinchen felt relieved in his heart.
"Great!" She loved the joy of opening surprise boxes.
"Master, Madam, there are guests here."
But this joy of opening surprise boxes didn't last long, as Qiu Niang and the others soon came to announce visitors.
"Hmm? Alright, have them wait in the front hall. We'll be right there."
Although they were puzzled as to who would visit them at this time, they still put down what they were doing.
"Ah."
They had just started opening the clams, so it wasn't a problem.
After a simple adjustment of their attire, they went out.
"Li Shopkeeper, Boss Jiang?"
Seeing the long-unseen Li Shopkeeper and Jiang Feng, Luo Ge and the others were quite surprised.
Following behind Luo Ge, Gu Jinchen also greeted Li Shopkeeper and the others briefly upon seeing them.
"Brother Gu, Sister-in-law."
Not only were Luo Ge and the others surprised, but Li Shopkeeper was also astonished to see Luo Ge's belly.
He had seen Luo Ge before the new year, but not much after that.
Before the new year, Luo Ge's belly wasn't as big as it is now. He didn't expect such a significant change.
"It has been a while. Lady Luo has changed quite a bit."
Jiang Feng was even more surprised. Since Luo Ge had provided the pastry recipes, he hadn't seen her again.
At that time, Luo Ge's belly hadn't even started showing. Now, seeing the change, he was truly astonished.
"Boss Jiang is just joking," Luo Ge smiled.
Seeing Jiang Feng approach, Luo Ge quickly realized the reason for their visit.
She had been so busy with the restaurant that she had forgotten about the recipes for the Fuxin Shop.
Thinking this, she turned and asked Qiu Niang to bring paper and pen, and wrote down two recipes.
"These are the recipes for the shop this year. Boss Jiang, please keep them safe."
"But as you can see, I'm in a bit of a condition now, and it's not very convenient for me to go out. So I may have to teach the masters here in this manor."
"I've also set up a few stoves here, so I can bake things as well."
One must say that Luo Ge's reaction was indeed quick. Jiang Feng and the others came today precisely for this matter.
Hearing Luo Ge's words, Jiang Feng and the others expressed their understanding. As long as there were things in the manor, they could arrange for people to provide the necessary materials, so it wouldn't be a hassle.
"No problem, I'll have them bring the supplies over at that time."
"Mm, good." Upon hearing this, Luo Ge nodded and turned to look at Jiang Feng, as if waiting for him to continue.
For this matter of teaching and learning from recipes, it should have been sufficient for Li Shopkeeper to come alone. The fact that Jiang Feng also came along meant that there was likely more to it than just this, right?
