"Thank you so much, Mrs. Gu!" The old man took it, expressing endless gratitude.
The daughter-in-law had already gone to cook some late-night snack and brought out two bowls of steaming beef noodles to the table.
"Mr. Gu, Mrs. Gu, we country folk don’t have much to offer you, just some food we’ve grown ourselves to warm your stomachs." The daughter-in-law said.
Mu Anhan was not shy at all: "Only in the countryside can you find truly organic food. I must have a taste."
Gu Xiaozhan: "..." This person is such a foodie!
Whenever she hears there’s food, she’s truly shameless.
Mu Anhan really could eat. She felt that when she was cold, she wanted to eat more to replenish more energy.
"Hubby, you eat too." She said while eating, smacking her lips, "It tastes really good!"
And with the countryside beef, it’s truly delicious.
She also, while he wasn’t paying attention, sneakily pinched the beef from Gu Xiaozhan’s bowl.
Gu Xiaozhan’s appetite wasn’t big. He even suspected at one point that Mu Anhan’s appetite was bigger than a man’s, yet she remained so slim.
Mu Anhan finished what he didn’t eat and then quietly placed money under the bowl as they left.
The old man, while cleaning the bowls, ran out insisting he couldn’t take the money.
"Uncle, keep it to buy some nutritional supplements for grandma!" Mu Anhan said softly, "Grandma is in good health. You two can accompany each other for a long time. Consider this my little gesture to grandma!"
Seeing her love for beef, the old man immediately brought out a bowl of cooked beef from home for her, "This has seasonings, a bit spicy, but it keeps you warm in winter."
"Thank you!" Mu Anhan took it without any hesitation.
On the way back, she put her hand in Gu Xiaozhan’s coat pocket, and the two walked under an umbrella, chatting as they went.
Mu Anhan was still eating beef, "So tasty!"
"Han Han, how much meat have you eaten?" Gu Xiaozhan was speechless.
He always forbade her from having a nutritional imbalance. At home, he could manage, but once out, she just let herself go.
Mu Anhan blinked, "Eating more meat is good for giving my husband a second child!"
Gu Xiaozhan: "..." He found himself unable to argue with that reason!
"Eating more meat makes the babies fair and chubby, how cute!" Mu Anhan knew exactly what words hit his soft spot.
This little devil really knows how to play to his likes.
Remember, back then, when she was pregnant with the twins, she refused to eat.
Even the doctor said that if it continued, the fetus would be very small.
The past really shouldn’t be recalled.
Gu Xiaozhan hopes she truly gets better.
No matter what, he should give her a chance to change.
Soon, they were back at the village committee house. She took off her down jacket and touched her round belly, "Hubby, look, don’t I look like I’m three months pregnant?"
Gu Xiaozhan reached out to touch her belly, "You’re a doctor yourself, don’t you know you shouldn’t eat too much before bedtime?"
Mu Anhan looked at her watch, "It’s well past midnight; I’m having tomorrow’s breakfast."
Gu Xiaozhan: "..."
With such a solid reason, should he just applaud her?
She snuggled into his arms, "Hubby, today was truly tiring... Aren’t you tired?"
He watched her, eyes closed, quickly fall asleep, but occasionally she spoke in her sleep, calling out for her mother...
