Chapter 1097: Who Called?

A child born at full term and a premature child naturally have different constitutions; regardless of whether this baby is a daughter or a son, he wants the child to be safe and healthy: "Let me help you to the hand-washing room to wash your hands."

At the toilet entrance, he didn't dare to say things like washing hands and eating.

After helping the person back to the ward, he quickly opened the lunch box: "I bought mung bean porridge and meat buns; you eat first, I'll go out to make a phone call."

Xiao Mu thought he was calling Liu Chuxue and didn't stop him.

Xiao Fu went to the public phone booth outside the hospital, dialed a number, then transferred the call to the Xiao family, hearing the voice on the other end: "Aunt Miao, it's me, Changsheng."

"Changsheng, why are you calling at this hour? Is there something you need from your father?"

"Aunt Miao, I'm not calling for my father; I have something to trouble you with."

"You child, what do you mean by 'trouble'? Speak, what is it?"

After all, he didn't dare entrust his wife's safety to Chunxiao: "Aunt Miao, today Plum Blossom had her pregnancy qi disturbed; the doctor said she must rest quietly for this period and cannot be left alone. There are already two people on leave in my unit, and I really can't ask the captain for leave. Chuxue happens to be going on a business trip these days. Leaving her to Chunxiao's care makes me uneasy, so I had to call and trouble you."

"What happened? How did her pregnancy qi get disturbed?"

Xiao Fu knew he couldn't hide the matter, so he recounted everything that happened today.

Originally, Miao Yiqiu's impression of Chunxiao wasn't very good; after hearing his words, her impression of Chunxiao worsened further: "Alright, I understand. I'll tell your father right away; we'll pack up and rush over immediately."

Xiao Fu quickly spoke up: "Aunt Miao, Plum Blossom needs to be observed in the hospital tonight; you can come over tomorrow morning."

As soon as the call ended, Xiao Laoyezi walked in: "Who called?"

Miao Yiqiu straightened her posture: "It was Changsheng. His wife was angered by Chunxiao today, disturbing her pregnancy qi; she's currently in the hospital."

Xiao Laoyezi hurriedly asked: "Is she alright?"

Miao Yiqiu feared he would worry: "Don't worry, she's fine, but she must rest quietly before her due date and cannot be stimulated again. Changsheng said Chuxue is going on a business trip these days, and Chunxiao is too young; he's also afraid Plum Blossom will get angry seeing her, so he thought we should go over and take care of her."

"Anyway, we were planning to wait until after she gives birth to return to the ancestral land; we might as well move over now."

After a moment of thought, Xiao Laoyezi said: "That works; it's good we've been occupying this house for so long anyway."

He simply called Xiao Changjiang: "Eldest, come over tomorrow morning to help us move some things; we'll temporarily stay at the second son's place for a while."

Xiao Changjiang was somewhat surprised: "What happened?"

He thought the compound was asking them to vacate the house, which was why he asked.

Xiao Laoyezi didn't specify the situation, only vaguely saying: "The second son's wife had her pregnancy qi disturbed; the second son can't take leave for this period. Chuxue is going on a business trip, and Chunxiao is too young, so we're afraid she can't take good care of her. We'll move over first; Bai Rizi can also help look after her."

Xiao Changjiang naturally had no objections: "Is the sister-in-law alright?"

"She's fine; after one night of observation, she can go home tomorrow."

"Alright then. I'll arrange my work at the unit first thing tomorrow, then bring people over to help you move."

Liu Chuxue knew nothing at all about what happened in the Xiao family; she was still working overtime at the unit, not only reviewing the product introductions for this exhibition but also attending all the leaders' meetings as the translator to listen in.

By the time she got home at night, it was already late, and she didn't feel like cooking alone.

She went straight into the space to eat the provisions stored there, took a flower-petal bath with Bai Meimei, and only then began preparing the items needed for the business trip the day after tomorrow, since she couldn't let anyone on the surface suspect anything.
