Chapter 150 This is Love
During the time that Gu Lin was preparing for the hospital, Ye Tang took a free afternoon to visit Gu Rou.
Since my sister got married, she has visited her parents' home less often, usually only on weekends. Sometimes, when she's busy, she might not see them for half a month.
Ye Tang was really worried about Gu Rou, and after hearing that Gu Rou hadn't been doing well lately, she was even more concerned and had to see her in person to put her mind at ease.
Carrying fresh seasonal fruit, Ye Tang stood in front of Gu Rou's house and rang the doorbell.
Within seconds, the door was pulled open from the inside.
She is Cheng Yingnan's mother.
"Auntie, you're here," Ye Tang greeted with a smile. "I've come to see my sister."
"It's Ye Tang! Come in, come in quickly." Mother Cheng hurriedly stepped aside to let her into the room, but her voice was low. "Rou Rou just fell asleep not long ago. She hasn't been sleeping well at night lately, and she rarely closes her eyes during the day... Why don't you sit down and wait?"
"Okay, I won't disturb her." Ye Tang walked quietly into the living room and placed the fruit on the sideboard. "I brought some bird's nest, which is perfect for nourishing my sister."
"You've gone to so much trouble." Cheng's mother pointed towards the kitchen. "Actually, it's already been simmering in the pot, but she hasn't had a good appetite. She keeps vomiting after eating, and she's lost a lot of weight."
She sighed as she spoke, "Pregnancy is not easy enough, and seeing her like this really makes me feel bad."
Ye Tang subconsciously touched her increasingly rounded waist.
It's not fair! After she got pregnant with her second child, her appetite was amazing, and she gained almost 20 pounds. How come her older sister can't even eat?
"Auntie, don't worry too much," she comforted softly. "Everyone's constitution is different. Your sister might be having a more severe reaction right now, but she'll get better with time." She then pointed to herself and said jokingly, "Look at me, I enjoy everything I eat, and I've gotten as chubby as a little piglet."
Amused by her, Cheng's mother finally smiled and said, "That's good, both mom and baby are healthy."
As she walked towards the kitchen, she said, "I'll make you a glass of juice. I just bought these oranges this morning; they're really fresh."
"Thank you, Auntie."
Ye Tang sat down gently on the sofa, her gaze drifting towards the bedroom.
The house was quiet, with only the faint sound of water washing fruit coming from the kitchen.
On the cabinet outside the kitchen, there were many high-quality fruits.
These are all foods that Gu Rou used to love to eat.
It seems that the Cheng family is taking good care of Gu Rou.
"Ye Tang, come and have some juice." Mother Cheng brought out the juice and handed it to Ye Tang. "I didn't add sugar because I was worried about your blood sugar rising. It's sweet and sour, have a taste."
"Auntie, I just love drinking sour things."
taste good.
It's Ye Tang's favorite flavor.
Mrs. Cheng was relieved. "Rou Rou also loves sour things. She eats whatever is sour. Sometimes, when I see her eating plums, I feel sour too."
"Really? My sister is the same as me."
"It seems you two might both have a boy," Cheng's mother said with a smile. "People used to say that sour foods mean a boy and spicy foods mean a girl. When I was pregnant with Yingnan, I craved sour foods, but I don't know if that's still true now."
Ye Tang smiled.
That's inaccurate.
When she was pregnant with her first child, she craved sour foods. "Auntie, I also craved sour foods during my first pregnancy, and I had a girl."
"Really?" Mrs. Cheng became interested. "Girls are great! I love girls. I've never had a daughter in my life. If Rou Rou had a girl, I would have a granddaughter. That would be wonderful."
It's clear that Cheng's mother prefers girls.
well.
She is not an old-fashioned person who favors sons over daughters.
"Auntie, I hope your wish comes true!"
The time it takes to speak.
Gu Rou yawned and came out of the bedroom.
"Ye Tang, you've arrived."
"Sis, you go to sleep. Auntie and I are chatting." Ye Tang got up and helped Gu Rou to sit down on the sofa.
I don't know if it's because Gu Rou is too thin that her belly looks so big.
Or something else.
Ye Tang felt that her belly was about the same size as her own. "You're so thin, won't the baby be overweight?"
"Who cares? I'll just have an extraperitoneal procedure anyway, as long as I don't feel pain."
After pouring Gu Rou a glass of warm water, Cheng's mother said, "You two sisters chat for a bit, I'll go buy groceries first."
Goodbye, Auntie.
After Cheng's mother left.
Ye Tang then quietly asked her, "How was my cousin's behavior? Did he upset you?"
"He's... alright, I guess." Gu Rou leaned back lazily on the sofa. "He's just quite busy, but he still helps me take a bath every night, so I think that's enough."
"You're too easily satisfied. Isn't this what a husband should be doing?"
Gu Rou smiled and said, "There's no such thing as 'should' or 'shouldn't.' We're all normal people, and we're not missing any limbs. He's willing to lend a hand just to maintain our relationship."
That's a rather negative statement.
Ye Tang felt that Gu Rou wasn't very happy.
"Is it because my cousin is treating you badly? Sis, if... if he's treating you badly, I'm going to have to talk to him about it."
Gu Rou shook her head.
She doesn't need extreme, intense love right now.
"He's doing a great job. We're not twenty anymore. Passion exists in marriage, but it can't always be there. He takes care of me in every little detail of life, and he's also working hard and striving for me. That's enough."
I don't know why.
Ye Tang felt a pang of sadness upon hearing this.
"sister……"
I was just about to express some thoughts.
The door opened.
Cheng Yingnan is back.
He had a steaming hot package of food in his hand.
"Cousin." Ye Tang stood up.
Cheng Yingnan responded and quickly took the packaged food to the kitchen, where he served it.
They then sent it out to Gu Rou.
"I asked Chef Sun to make it himself. I told him my wife loves this dish and can't live without it." Cheng Yingnan thoughtfully handed Gu Rou a spoon and a small bowl. "Eat slowly, don't burn yourself."
Ye Tang glanced at it.
The filling under the seemingly ordinary wontons is anything but ordinary.
Moreover, the filling in each wonton is different.
That must have taken a lot of effort.
Clearly, Gu Rou's appetite was not good.
He ate less than two, then put the rest down, saying, "That's enough."
"Eat a few more, they're all your favorite fillings." Cheng Yingnan coaxed Gu Rou like he was a child, and she ate two more.
"Really not eating?"
Gu Rou shook her head.
Cheng Yingnan picked up the bowl and ate the rest in one go.
"Mom said she made you some bird's nest soup. How about you have some more bird's nest later?"
Gu Rou replied lazily, "Let's talk about it later."
"Okay, we'll talk about it later."
Ye Tang blinked: ...It should be Cheng Yingnan who feels heartbroken.
Gu Rou was being taken care of like this entirely because of Cheng Yingnan's love.
Moreover, it must take a lot of love to do this, to tirelessly coax her just to get her to eat one more bite.
"Sis, my cousin is really good, much better than Gu Lin. I was just feeling sorry for you."
Ye Tang shook her head.
Gu Rou smiled.
"You little rascal, isn't this just everyday life?"
"This isn't ordinary life, this is love, love, it's romance. He wouldn't do these things if he didn't love you. This wonton shop is in the north of the city, it takes an hour to drive there."
Ye Tang was extremely envious.
Everyone seems to love in their own way.
However, they were genuinely giving their all.
Indeed, that's enough.
