Chapter 429 Is This Your Husband or Your Brother?
After reading the documents until around nine o'clock in the evening, Zhou Jing returned to the bedroom and rubbed Gu Jia's legs, pinching her belly while rubbing her legs.

"You didn't get fatter as I thought. Are your legs whiter?"

Gu Jia looked at her legs and smiled.

“It’s very white.”

Zhou Jing gently bit Gu Jia's thigh, leaving two rows of teeth marks.

"Does a big belly make your legs look shorter?"

Gu Jia straightened her legs and said.

"Standing and watching is a bit."

Zhou Jing missed Teacher Gu's hand, so he sat up and leaned against Teacher Gu.

Twenty minutes later, Zhou Jing got off the bed, took the paper ball on the bedside table to the bathroom and threw it into the trash can, filled the washbasin with some water, took the hand soap to the bedroom and asked Gu Jia to wash her hands, then poured out the water.

"I'll get the candy."

Mother Gu boiled some milk and brought two cups to Zhou Jing.

"Mom, take a break. I'll get it myself."

Zhou Jing took the milk to the bedroom and went out to get some candy.

"I won't add sugar, just half a spoonful."

Gu Jia was pregnant and it was time for her to reduce her sugar intake. She picked up the milk and took a sip. The taste was too bland without any sugar in it.

"It's okay to add a little sugar to milk. Eat more vegetables and whole grains and less high-starch staple foods."

Zhou Jing added a spoonful of sugar to his own.

Gu Jia added half a spoonful of sugar, stirred it, tasted it, and said, "Is cow's milk or goat's milk better for children?"

Before the baby was born, Gu Jia started to worry about milk powder.

"It depends on your physique. When I was a kid, I drank a lot of goat milk. My grandfather raised a dairy goat specifically for me. They would milk it and send it to the county town on a motorcycle. I basically never drank milk powder."

Zhou Jing drank some milk and kissed Gu Jia on the cheek, leaving a white lip mark.

“There are some very good conditions in the countryside.”

The business is too big. Otherwise, after the child is born, Gu Jia can live in Qing County and let the old man raise another dairy sheep. In addition, if he raises chickens, he can eat milk and local eggs without worry.

"Children living in the countryside generally get sick less often. The difference between the urban and rural environments is obvious. Some children go to the hospital every now and then in the city, but nothing happens when they return to the countryside."

After drinking the milk, Zhou Jing took the cup and sugar to the kitchen and washed the cup at the same time.

After Gu Jia became pregnant, Zhou Jing's living standard also improved. Gu Jia ate four meals a day, breakfast, lunch, dinner and snack, and Zhou Jing also ate four meals a day.

After drinking a glass of milk and feeling full, Zhou Jing turned off the lights, got into bed, and lay on his side to touch Gu Jia's belly.

"When the baby is one month old, should I notify the classmates who have contributed money and ask them to take back the money?"

Gu Jia said while holding the back of the boy's hand.

"No rush, the wedding will be held sooner or later."

Zhou Jing didn’t know whether he and Gu Jia could hold their wedding smoothly.

Gu Jia nodded and put the matter of the share money aside.

The next day, Thursday, Zhou Jing woke up before six o'clock and helped Gu Jia go to the toilet. After Gu Jia finished using the toilet, Zhou Jing helped her back to the bedroom. Then Zhou Jing went out for exercise.

The morning air is cool in this season, which is suitable for exercise.

Arriving at the community square, Zhou Jing first jogged to warm up. After running for ten minutes, he went to the horizontal bar and did fifty pull-ups.

After exercising for a while and feeling refreshed, Zhou Jing called Gu's mother to ask if she needed to buy anything.

Gu's mother bought the breakfast ingredients yesterday afternoon, so the family had everything they needed, so Zhou Jing went straight home.

Gu Jia had also gotten up and was doing some housework within her ability.

Zhou Jing took a shower and went to the kitchen to help Gu's mother make breakfast. After breakfast, Zhou Jing went to the company at around eight o'clock.

Downstairs of the company, people of all kinds walked into the building in a hurry. The tapping of high heels of urban white-collar girls showed that time was more urgent. The elevator was crowded with people queuing. From their words and actions, one can feel the fast-paced life and work in the big city. In this place, you need to be able to withstand pressure to survive and persist. If your own conditions are good, the pressure will be less. If your own conditions are not good enough, your living conditions are poor and the work pressure is high, it is very painful here.

"Morning, Mr. Zhou."

When the people from Chuangzhi Technology Co., Ltd. saw the boss, they stepped forward and greeted him respectfully.

"morning."

Zhou Jing nodded to his employees.

Hearing someone calling Zhou Jing "Mr. Zhou", Zhou Jing, who already had a high rate of turning heads, attracted even more attention from the lady. In the entire office building, Zhou Jing was also considered the most handsome guy, young and handsome. Chuangzhi Technology Co., Ltd. was now considered a top-ranked company in this office building, and there would be no younger and more successful people here than Zhou Jing.

"Which floor are you on?"

Zhou Jing walked into the elevator and a lady in a white suit in front of him asked.

"17th floor, thank you."

Zhou Jing said politely.

"You're welcome."

The lady smiled elegantly and pressed 17 for Zhou Jing.
Zhou Jing didn't make a fuss about it. This had happened to him more than once or twice. Beautiful girls and handsome guys were always more popular. In places like elevators, girls would help handsome guys press the floor button, and boys would also be attentive to beautiful girls.

Zhou Jing was also blatantly approached by a girl from another company in the office building who took the initiative to hand him a business card.

By nine o'clock, everyone at Chuangzhi Technology Co., Ltd. had completed clocking in, turned on their computers, and prepared for a new day's work at their posts.

In Zhou Jing's private office, a girl from the human resources department is cleaning. Chuangzhi Technology Co., Ltd. does not have a full-time cleaner, and the cleaning work is done in turns by people from the public administration, human resources and finance departments. Zhou Jing does not have a secretary, and the office hygiene work is also done by a duty student.

All information that needs to be kept confidential is in the safe. There is no privacy in Zhou Jing's office that is inconvenient for others to see, so there is no need to worry about leaks. Moreover, Zhou Jing started his business by installing cameras, so it is very convenient to install surveillance in the office.

Each large office in the company has a duty student every day. The duty student will come to work half an hour to an hour early. When Zhou Jing came to the office, the duty student was cleaning the office, so Zhou Jing went to the lounge and sat for a while.

The students on duty who clean the room are counted as working overtime for one hour, and each person is paid 100 yuan per hour. This overtime pay is very generous and other companies cannot offer such a good thing. The cleaning workload is not large and it is enough to simply wipe the tables and cabinets and mop the floor every day.

Therefore, most employees of Chuangzhi Technology Co., Ltd. are happy to be assigned to duty, and some even ask for it. If they can be assigned to duty every day, the overtime pay will exceed two thousand yuan a month. For people within the company, wiping tables and mopping the floor is just a side job.

How nice it would be to have a personal secretary, and what a wonderful thing it would be to have a beautiful person with a good figure serving tea and water. Looking at the girl cleaning, Zhou Jing felt emotional, but he could only think about it. The more he had such thoughts, the less he trusted himself. How could such a psychological quality withstand the temptation of the office? If he had not met Gu Jia, his life would definitely be very comfortable now. Of course, Zhou Jing did not regret getting married and having children so early.

For some people, missing them once may ruin their lives.

It is too difficult to be free of desires and demands. Zhou Jing sighed, turned on his computer, turned around to pour a glass of water, stood by the window and looked at the tall buildings outside.

At nine o'clock, everyone in the company quickly got down to work. Zhou Jing also put away his idle thoughts and opened the project file on his computer to check.

Soon the week ended. On Saturday, Zhou Jing took Gu Jia to the hospital for a check-up without eating breakfast.

In the obstetrics and gynecology department of the hospital, the most common people seen are pregnant women. It is indeed not easy for a woman to be pregnant for ten months. Zhou Jing first helped Gu Jia find a place to sit, and then went to queue up for registration. After registering, he took Gu Jia to the first department.

Although Gu Jia felt good, she still couldn't help but worry before the examination, fearing that the examination would reveal some problems with the child, such as Down syndrome, congenital diabetes, deformity, etc. Some of the child's symptoms cannot be felt by adults.

"Do you want to know the gender of the baby?"

Gu Jia looked at the boy and smiled.

"Although I'm curious, there's no need to know now." Zhou Jing said, touching Gu Jia's belly.

In principle, hospitals cannot reveal the gender of a child in advance, but if parents really want to know, there are ways around it.

"I feel so too."

In this regard, Gu Jia and Zhou Jing are the same. They are curious about the gender of the child but will not specifically check it.

The examination department was calling numbers, and Zhou Jing helped Gu Jia sit outside and wait.

"This lady's fetus should be five months old, right?"

A pregnant woman who was also waiting in line looked at Gu Jia and said.

"Five months and a few days. How about you?"

Gu Jia asked politely.

"I'm about the same age as you. I really envy your condition. Can you tell me your age?"

The pregnant woman was very envious of Gu Jia, who had delicate, rosy and shiny skin even after being pregnant for several months.

"Twenty-nine."

There was nothing that Gu Jia was not comfortable saying.

"You're in such great shape. How do you maintain your condition?"

Upon hearing Gu Jia's age, the other party became even more envious. She was two years younger than Gu Jia, but looked older than Gu Jia.

"I don't do anything to maintain it, just stay calm and don't worry."

Gu Jia was also very surprised. Others said that she was in great shape during her pregnancy and asked her how she maintained her condition, but she really didn't try to do so.

"I envy you so much. Is this your husband or your brother?"

The pregnant woman glanced at Zhou Jing and said.

"my husband."

Gu Jia answered a little unnaturally.

"I really envy you."

The other party expressed his envy three times in a few sentences, and was envious of Gu Jia for finding such a young husband.

Zhou Jing didn't pay attention to the conversation between the two pregnant women, but chatted with the pregnant woman's husband. Women have women's topics, and men have men's topics.

The items for each prenatal checkup were different. Gu Jia was in the 22nd week of pregnancy, and the main check was whether the fetus had certain congenital diseases. The examination showed that everything was good. Gu Jia was in good health, and the fetus was in a good position and condition. Both of them felt relieved after learning the results of the examination.

Zhou Jing casually asked the doctor whether prenatal education was useful. Originally, Zhou Jing did not believe in such a thing, but the doctor replied that it was useful. The doctor answered seriously and said that listening to music and telling stories can help promote the development of the fetal brain.

Zhou Jing felt a little helpless. It seemed that he had to take prenatal education seriously in the future.

After checking all the items and prescribing some medicine to preserve the pregnancy, Zhou Jing and Gu Jia went home.

"Prenatal education is actually useful."

Gu Jia also gained some experience and was thinking about what to do next.

Zhou Jing wanted to say that it is useful but not very useful. Children do not have the ability to think yet. The so-called usefulness is probably that the fetus will have some reaction when hearing external sounds. Listening to music, stories, and voices, and even the sounds of pots and pans should have the same effect, so there is no need to do prenatal education deliberately.

After leaving the hospital and finding the car, Zhou Jing first opened the passenger door, helped Gu Jia sit down and fastened her seat belt before getting in the car himself.

After the car stabilized, Zhou Jing held the steering wheel with one hand and touched Gu Jia's belly with his right hand. It was round and plump and felt very nice to touch.

"Can you feel your dad touching you, little one?"

Gu Jia said with a smile on her face.

"Dad will give you a vast kingdom."

Zhou Jing gently pinched Gu Jia's belly, then withdrew his hand and placed it on the steering wheel.

"What if I lose the kingdom I built for you?"

Gu Jia said with a smile.

"Just don't owe any debt."

Zhou Jing thought that he was a reborn person, and even if his child could not surpass him, he should not be worse than ordinary people.

When they were almost at the community, Zhou Jing asked Gu Jia to call Gu's mother to ask if she wanted anything. The fruit at home was almost gone, so when they passed by a fruit store, Zhou Jing stopped the car and bought some grapes. The doctor said that pregnant women could eat grapes to protect the fetus.

"They are asking for the heating fee now. They are very active in collecting the money. I don't know what the heating temperature is like here."

Gu Jia said when she saw the flyer posted on the billboard of the residential building.

"The emperor's feet shouldn't be too bad."

They didn’t have breakfast. Gu’s mother prepared lunch early today, so when Zhou Jing and Gu Jia got home at around ten o’clock, the meal was ready.

When Mother Gu looked at Gu Jia's prenatal examination report, her smile became even brighter.

After having lunch at home at noon, Zhou Jing went out to the home appliance supermarket and bought two electric heaters. When he got home, he put one in his and Gu Jia's bedrooms, and one in Gu's mother's bedroom.

The weather started to get colder, and Gu Jia's clothes from previous years were no longer wearable. With her big belly, Gu Jia didn't want to go to the crowded shopping mall, nor did she want to go through the trouble of trying on clothes and let her mother buy autumn and winter clothes for her.

Zhou Jing was going to accompany Gu's mother to buy clothes for Gu Jia. He was worried about leaving Gu Jia alone at home, but it was also too tiring for Gu's mother to go shopping in the mall alone without anyone to help her carry things. Gu Jia was even more worried about her mother, so she asked Zhou Jing to go with them.

"Then don't do anything. Just watch TV or rest in the bedroom."

Zhou Jing reminded that since Gu Jia was at home after all, nothing would happen if she didn't work or go out.

"Well, you don't need to buy clothes that are too expensive. The clothes you buy now can only be worn for half a year at most."

Although Gu Jia was not short of money, he didn't want to waste it.

"Just buy a few at the street stalls."

Mother Gu looked at her daughter and smiled.

"She's really my mother."

Gu Jia didn't want to be extravagant, but she couldn't just buy a few items at a street stall, as her conditions weren't that bad.

"Text me what you want to eat."

Zhou Jing touched Gu Jia's belly and went out with Gu's mother. Gu's mother went to the gate of the community first. Zhou Jing went to the underground garage to get the car. After leaving the community, he parked on the roadside and opened the passenger door for Gu's mother.

They came to a large clothing mall. Originally, Zhou Jing was going to bring Gu's mother to pick out clothes for Gu Jia, but it was actually Zhou Jing who chose them when they arrived at the mall. After seeing a style he liked, Zhou Jing asked the clerk to get the size suitable for Gu Jia's height and weight. It was more casual. It was not okay to buy something too small, but it was okay to buy something a little loose, because Gu Jia's belly would get bigger anyway.

He bought three sets of clothes for Gu Jia at one time, plus autumn clothes, autumn pants and thermal underwear, a total of more than ten pieces, spending more than ten thousand yuan. Thinking of scarves, knitted hats, and gloves, Zhou Jing specially found a high-end knitwear store and bought two pieces of each in Gu Jia's favorite colors, enough for Gu Jia to wear during the autumn and winter when she was pregnant.

"Jia Jia, just wear it when the weather gets cold this year. It's too expensive."

Gu's mother was very stingy with money. More than ten thousand yuan was gone in just half a day, and she spent money like water.

"Apart from buying clothes, I don't spend much on other things."

Zhou Jing didn't feel bad at all. From an economic perspective, rich people contributing to society by spending more money is the only way money can flow into society. If all rich people were reluctant to spend money, the result would be economic depression.
