Chapter 585: Xiao Wei Urges Childbirth

Bai Zhi looked at the ambitious child and admired him from the bottom of her heart.

She smiled and encouraged him, "Xiaowei, let's focus on getting better first. I believe your dream will definitely come true."

"Auntie Xiaobai, you're a doctor just like my mom. Could you teach me medicine someday?"

Xiao Wei looked at Bai Zhi with sparkling eyes, full of anticipation.

His eyes were filled with adoration when he looked at her.

Aunt Xiaobai and his mother are both very skilled doctors. If he can learn medicine from Aunt Xiaobai, he will definitely be very skilled when he grows up.

Bai Zhi smiled and said, "Of course you can, but we can only teach you when you grow up. Your task now is to take good care of your health and then go to school to study hard."

Xiao Wei nodded like a little adult, "I understand. I need to know a lot of words and learn a lot of knowledge before I can start studying medicine."

Bai Zhi patted his head and smiled, "Xiao Wei is so great, he knows everything."

"Auntie Xiaobai, when are you having your baby?"

Xiao Wei's innocent question stumped Bai Zhi.

She laughed awkwardly, "Why would you suddenly ask me such a question?"

Xiao Wei looked at her and said in a serious tone, "I heard Aunt Gui Fang say that married women should have babies. Aunt Wang has never had a baby, so she wants a divorce now."

Xiao Wei's tone was quite old-fashioned.

Bai Zhi, "..."

She didn't know how to reply for a moment.

Seeing that Bai Zhi didn't speak, Xiao Wei started pressuring her to have a baby, "Aunt Bai, how about you have a baby? Don't divorce Uncle Lu."

His words made Bai Zhi's lips twitch slightly again.

This child is increasingly resembling Liu Guifang in temperament.

She sat down next to Xiaowei and gently reasoned with him, "Child, even if I don't have a baby, I won't divorce your Uncle Lu. A marriage isn't sustained by a baby."

Little Bowl looked at her with big eyes, seemingly understanding but not quite.

"Hey, why am I telling this to a kid like you? This isn't your business, you know? From now on, when adults are talking, just watch your TV and don't listen."

Bai Zhi was speechless. Liu Guifang was enthusiastic, but she was too oblivious. How could she talk about such gossip in front of children?

Children are so smart, they can remember everything and even have their own thinking abilities. Look, I'm already worried about her.

Xiao Wei explained with a serious expression, "I didn't listen on purpose. I was right next to Aunt Guifang and Uncle Yang when they were talking. Next time they chat, I'll cover my ears."

Bai Zhi couldn't help but chuckle at his serious expression.

It seems she should remind Liu Guifang to be more discreet about what she says at home, especially when it comes to the children. If Xiaowei overheard everything, then her son Xiaokai must hear the gossip all the time too.

Just then, footsteps came from the doorway, followed by the sound of the door lock being opened.

Lu Ye strode in and saw Bai Zhi and Xiao Wei chatting on the sofa. He smiled and said, "Oh, Xiao Wei's here?"

Upon seeing Lu Ye return, Xiao Wei immediately stood up, tilted his head back, and greeted him.

Hello, Uncle Lu.

"Hello, Xiaowei."

Lu Ye took off his coat and his gaze fell on his wife's face.

Normally, he would give his wife a hug and a kiss as soon as he got home from work, but with the children around, it wasn't very convenient, so he could only restrain himself from reaching out his arm.

"You're back! Let's eat."

Bai Zhi went into the kitchen first, and Lu Ye followed.

He glanced into the living room to make sure Xiaowei couldn't see them, then put his arm around her from behind.

Bai Zhi pulled his hand away and gently reminded him, "Wash your hands before dinner."

"Okay." He cooperated and released her, then kissed her on the forehead.

I washed my hands by the sink and then carried the dishes out.

"Xiaowei, time to eat."

Bai Zhi specially found him a small bowl and filled it with fermented rice soup.

Then she placed it in front of him, gave him a spoon, and said, "Try this, is it sweet?"

Xiao Wei picked up a spoon and scooped up a mouthful.

The rich, sweet taste made him smack his lips contentedly, squint his small eyes, and nod repeatedly.

He looked delighted. "Auntie Xiaobai's soup is so delicious! It's so sweet. I love this kind of soup. I used to have it in restaurants, but my dad doesn't know how to make it."

The child was so easily satisfied that Bai Zhi felt a great sense of accomplishment. She said, "Auntie Bai will make it for you whenever you want to drink it in the future."

"Come and eat some vegetables, don't just drink soup."

Bai Zhi served food to Xiao Wei, while Lu Ye served food to her.

Two adults and one child, all enjoying themselves immensely. The atmosphere was incredibly warm and loving.

At this moment, Bai Zhi couldn't help but imagine the future. She thought that when she and Lu Ye had a child, their life as a family of three would be just like this, a warm and cozy scene.

Today I got a taste of life after having a child.

She and Lu Ye exchanged a glance, seemingly seeing the same emotion in each other's shared purpose.

The two then smiled at each other.

Lu Ye put more food on her plate and said softly, "Eat up."

Halfway through the meal, Bai Zhi asked, "Has Political Commissar Zhang finished get off work? I got some medicine for Xiao Wei today, and I need to remind him of the decoction process when he comes over later."

"He hasn't come back yet. He'll go to Old Yang's house to pick up Xiaowei in a bit. He'll come up here as soon as he finds out he's here."

After dinner, Lu Ye, as usual, took the initiative to wash the pots and pans, while Bai Zhi and Xiao Wei sat in the living room watching TV.

She watched her child intently watching the television, completely absorbed in the cartoon, and spoke softly.

"Xiaowei, next time you have nothing to do, read more storybooks, and try to shorten your TV time as much as possible, okay?"

Hearing Bai Zhi's words, Xiao Wei looked troubled. "Aunt Bai, I also like to read storybooks, but I don't know many of the words."

Only after hearing what the child said did Bai Zhi realize that the child in front of her was only 6 years old, in kindergarten, and probably couldn't even write his own name.

It's true that we can't judge children this age by adult standards.

But Political Commissar Zhang didn't have time to deal with him; he spent all day watching TV at Liu Guifang's house, which was indeed not a good thing.

She reminded Xiaowei, "Then ask your dad to buy you comic books; you'll definitely be able to understand those."

Xiao Wei nodded emphatically, "Okay, I'll talk to my dad tonight."

Bai Zhi looked at Lu Ye and mentioned the treatment she gave Xiao Wei today. "I gave Xiao Wei acupuncture today. This child is really brave. He didn't move or make a sound even after so many needles were inserted. He's amazing."

Hearing Bai Zhi praise him in front of Lu Ye, Xiao Wei raised his little head and looked at Lu Ye, waiting to be praised.

However, Lu Ye simply walked over, patted his head, and said four words indifferently, "Keep it up."
