Just as everyone was wondering where Xiao Min was going to give birth, Zhang Yu already knew she would be returning to the Capital City in June. Of course, she wasn’t starting maternity leave, but would be working at a research institute in the Capital City until the baby was born. After learning about this arrangement, Zhang Yu had a thought in her mind: if Xiao Min could work here until she gave birth, could she stay and work in the Capital City until spring after the baby was born. This would be good for both the baby and Xiao Min. Zhang Yu silently prayed, hoping Xiao Min could stay in the Capital City for a few more days. Xiao Min returned to the Capital City with the large team making the report, and Zhang Yu was stunned when she went to the station to pick her up. She had thought about it, that Xiao Min’s condition might not be too good. After all, they wouldn’t make special arrangements for a pregnant woman over there, plus being a workaholic busy with work, things might not be ideal. But she hadn’t expected that, even though Xiao Min was in the late pregnancy stage, except for the prominent belly, the rest of her was all thin. If such a pregnancy state were put in later times, it would definitely be welcomed by many pregnant women who think postpartum recovery would be fast. But at this moment, Zhang Yu was truly worried. She rushed over quickly, "Xiao Min, are you okay?" Xiao Yi also showed concern as he approached, "Sis." Xiao Yi was stunned seeing Xiao Min, who was clearly pregnant but seemed thinner than before she left for the Northwest. "Sis, people usually gain weight during pregnancy, how come you, how come..." If he didn’t know Zhao Lei wasn’t that kind of person, he would have thought Zhao Lei was not treating her well. Xiao Yi hesitated to say, but Zhang Yu felt no such reservation, "What’s with Zhao Lei, he doesn’t know how to take care of you?" Zhang Yu genuinely thought this way, saying it not just in front of the Xiao siblings, "Even if that boy is busy with work, he can’t neglect taking care of you." "Xiao Hong, Xiao Yi, you’ll need to catch more fish." "Xiao Min, it’s hard to buy meat now, and there aren’t many meat coupons, so you’ll have to eat more fish." "You can make fish stew, or eat fish meat." Although fish is tasty, if eaten daily, one can grow tired of it, but there’s no choice in the current situation. "Mom, you can make fish floss." Zhao Hong recalled the fish floss Zhang Yu made a few years ago. The dish was delicious but was troublesome to make, and after a few times, Zhang Yu never made it again. Fish floss? Yeah, why hadn’t she thought of that, "Right, I’ll trouble you all then." The Xiao siblings listened to Zhang Yu and her daughter talking about fish floss, and they were puzzled, not understanding what they were talking about. The source of this content ɪs Novᴇl_Fire(.)net "Do you know pork floss?" Zhang Yu thought the Xiao siblings should have eaten it before. Of course, Xiao Min and Xiao Lei had tasted it, "Fish version of pork floss." Although the siblings hadn’t had fish floss before, they knew the taste was definitely good, and they were really looking forward to it. Xiao Min knew that Zhang Yu’s cooking was excellent, and even Zhao Lei’s siblings were good at cooking too. She just hadn’t thought that Zhang Yu could make fish floss. Zhang Yu repeated the previous reasoning she had told Zhao Lei, "Actually, the process isn’t that complicated, but it’s very labor-intensive." Having assisted before, Zhao Hong nodded continuously, as it takes ages in front of the stove, and the yield isn’t high. Even though so much time had passed, Zhao Hong still remembered the amount. When the Xiao siblings learned about the low yield, they had mentally prepared themselves, but hearing Zhao Hong mention the output still surprised them. "Now I finally understand why pork floss is so expensive." Xiao Min had previously wondered why the price for one pound of pork floss was so high, and now she understood. It’s not just labor-intensive but material-consuming too, "Tasty things are never cheap." Xiao Min thought it best not to trouble Zhang Yu, even though fish is free, sitting in front of the stove for half a day is truly labor-intensive. "It’s okay, the three of us can do it." Zhang Yu looked at Xiao Yi, "Being the boy, Xiao Yi, I think you can be the main force." With this request, Xiao Yi really didn’t think it was excessive, "No problem, I can do it." As long as his sister likes it, and it’s good for her health, even if he has to work hard, is that a problem? It’s absolutely not a problem, "Sis, take care of yourself, and we’ll take care of things too." "Right, sister-in-law, don’t worry. Xiao Yi and I will definitely work hard to catch fish." On the way home, Zhang Yu mentioned all the efforts the two kids made for the unborn child. Xiao Min couldn’t stop the tears from flowing. She hadn’t expected her mother-in-law, sister-in-law, and her own brother to have worked so hard in places she and her husband hadn’t considered. "Both Xiao Lei and I are busy with work and often forget about the baby." Even though she is the child’s mother, when she’s busy, she truly forgets about it. Looking at Xiao Min, who was lowering her head too shy to face them, Zhang Yu had nothing more to say, "I know you want to complete the task as soon as possible." "But you must know, only with good health can you contribute more." "By the way, how long can you stay in the Capital City after giving birth?" Zhang Yu quickly changed the topic, although still heavy, but wanted to ask. Zhao Hong and Xiao Yi looked expectantly at Xiao Min, and the latter, seeing their hopeful eyes, didn’t know how to reply. But some things they would find out eventually, "Probably leave by next spring." "Provided everything is smooth, and nothing happens over there." Xiao Min also knew, even though the leaders said so, nothing would happen? The progress had never been smooth, not just the leaders were anxious, they were also very anxious about it. Judging from the girl’s evasive expression, Zhang Yu knew there was more to it. "I just hope you can stay here until the baby is one month old." "I can help you recover physically, who knows how busy you’ll be once you return." "After you’re out of the confinement period, we’ll take a family photo missing one person." Even if Zhao Lei wasn’t there, it wouldn’t matter. "After you both get back, find a chance to take a photo and send it over, at least let the baby know what his parents look like." Zhang Yu didn’t know what conditions were like over there, didn’t know if there was a photo studio, "If it’s inconvenient to take a photo, then draw a real-life sketch." "I just wonder about your skill level." Zhang Yu had seen Zhao Lei’s drawings before, how to describe them, they were average, neither too good nor too bad, at least recognizable. "We have a photo studio there." With years of construction, some things were available. "Great, that’s good." Hearing there was a photo studio made Zhang Yu breathe easier, "Having that is enough, at least take one photo a year." "Otherwise, I really worry, when you two come back, the child won’t recognize you."
