Chapter 453 Sorry Something Happened Today
PS: Today when I was returning to my hometown, I fell off the tricycle on a downhill road of 40 miles. The road was a cement road. One of my feet was twisted and it is difficult for me to walk now. If I don’t feel better tomorrow, it may affect my normal updates. Please forgive me.

"It's still two weeks. Are you still thinking about it?"

Gu Jia patted Zhou Jing's face gently and said.

"Let me try."

Zhou Jing lay beside Gu Jia's shoulder and tried to suck, but no water came out.

"You are such a greedy person and so shameless."

Gu Jia pinched the boy's face and pulled it.

"This is what a qualified husband should do. How do you plan to deal with it before the baby is born?"

Zhou Jing raised his head and said with a smile.

"It's up to you."

Gu Jia was helpless, and there seemed to be no better way except asking her husband for help.

Zhou Jing looked at Gu Jia and said, "Have you ever seen a cow drinking its own milk?"

"No, have you seen it?"

Gu Jia couldn't help but laugh.

“I’ve seen videos online.”

"Isn't there a perpetual motion machine in physics? If a cow eats itself, does that mean it doesn't need to eat grass?"

Gu Jia held Zhou Jing's head and said.

“Perpetual motion machines don’t exist.”

Zhou Jing sat up and rubbed Gu Jia's legs.

"Lie down and take a rest. Will the electronics factory be even busier after the acquisition?"

Gu Jia pulled Zhou Jing to lie down, and then she lay on her side facing Zhou Jing and spoke.

“Not for now. Let’s see how things develop next year. If the mobile phone project goes well, I’ll be busier.”

Zhou Jing put his arm around Gu Jia's waist, thinking that he would only get busier and busier in the future, even if he didn't acquire the electronics factory.

Gu Jia couldn't help but think about whether she should have a second child in the future. She wanted to concentrate on helping Zhou Jing develop his career, but she also wanted to have both a son and a daughter. Zhou Jing liked daughters. If the first one was a son, Gu Jia would definitely have to have a second child and try her best to satisfy Zhou Jing's preferences. If the first one was a daughter, Zhou Jing's parents might want a son, and Gu Jia also wanted a son.

It’s so hard to be a woman, Gu Jia sighed in her heart.

"Three and a half months left, right?"

Zhou Jing placed his palm on Gu Jia's belly to feel the movement inside.

"Almost." Gu Jia said with a smile: "Why do I feel that you are suffering more than me when I am pregnant? Do you want to see the baby so early?"

"Yes!"

Zhou Jing forced himself to smile, but it was more than just torture. Sometimes he really felt like he was living a year in a day.

Fortunately, Zhou Jing's luck seems to have been very good since his rebirth. If it were an ordinary person, he would have capsized long ago if he had gotten the marriage certificate and was trying to do three things at once. Zhou Jing has always been able to escape danger, but he knows that his luck cannot always be so good. His only hope is to wait for Gu Jia to give birth to the child safely. With the child as a bond, everything will be easy.

"I'm used to this kind of life and it feels good."

Gu Jia felt sorry for her man because she saw him busy all the time, and wanted to share some of the work pressure with him.

The two couldn't sleep, so they lay in bed and chatted.

Wu Suqin washed some grapes, crisp dates and other fruits, then went to the bedroom of the couple and listened. She heard them talking, so she knocked on the door and put the fruits in. The clothes in the washing machine were done, so Wu Suqin hung them up to hang.

Zhou Jing helped Gu Jia sit up and lean on the pillow to eat some fruit.

"How are the dates in the countryside this year?"

Gu Jia picked up a date and ate it while talking.

“It’s a good harvest but it’s not worth much.”

Zhou Jing said as he ate a grape.

"The dates from your hometown are very good for making porridge or soaking in water, but people in the city can't eat them and the country can't sell them. What's the problem?"

Gu Jia took a date and fed it to Zhou Jing.

"The country is rich in products and has too many substitutes. More than a decade ago, red dates were the most common snack for children in the countryside. They would carry some dates in their pockets when going to school or playing and eat them when they were hungry."

"That makes sense. Red dates are good as snacks."

Gu Jia could imagine life in the countryside.

"So in those days, although most families in my hometown were very poor and only bought meat during the New Year and other festivals, vegetables were only abundant in the summer when grown at home. Vegetables were rarely eaten in the spring, autumn and winter, and potatoes and Chinese cabbage were indispensable. Despite those conditions, neither adults nor children suffered from anemia."

"This is what it means when people are born from their environment."

Gu Jia nodded and said.

"Yes, I didn't understand it before. Now I think about it. In the summer, there is a lot of food in the countryside. There are bitter herbs, locust flowers, and elm seeds growing naturally in the fields. There are mulberries that are enough to fill you up, and red dates that you can't finish eating. Do you know locust flowers and elm seeds?"

Zhou Jing pinched Gu Jia's face as it squirmed while eating dates and said.

"I know. They're sold in the market in Yushi. They're delicious. I'll go to your hometown when I have time next summer."

Gu Jia nodded and said.

"it is good."

Zhou Jing kissed Gu Jia, sucked the date pit out of Gu Jia's mouth, and plopped it into the trash can beside the table.

"Have you ever practiced the jujube-core nail? Do it again."

Gu Jia took another date and stuffed it into Zhou Jing's mouth.

"Small idea."

Zhou Jing ate the date and spit out the pit. This time the angle was right and the force was a little stronger, so the pit fell to the ground.

"I'm going to the supermarket to buy groceries. Do you two need anything?"

Wu Suqin knocked on the couple's bedroom door and asked.

Zhou Jing doesn't need it, and there's no need to ask Gu Jia either.

After resting for more than two hours, Zhou Jing got up and went to the study to deal with the matters of Chuangzhi Technology Co., Ltd. Zhou Jing asked the company to send some documents to his home. Gu Jia stamped the general information and handed it to the company. The project information needed to be checked by Zhou Jing.

A hospital's information system project had been underway for half a month. Zhou Jing checked the project progress and reviewed the code, marking the key parts that could be optimized for the project team to modify, with a focus on the mobile phone software system and King's Summoning.

After processing some company information, Zhou Jing personally made a company information book for Chuangzhi Technology Co., Ltd., as well as future plans for cooperation with the electronics factory. Zhou Jing met some potential partners at the Experimental Middle School anniversary celebration and the Yulin City Autumn Investment Promotion Conference. At the investment promotion meeting, two coal bosses in Yulin City were somewhat interested in Zhou Jing's development plan. The coal business has been sluggish in recent years, and the coal bosses wanted to find other opportunities, so they asked Zhou Jing to make a detailed plan.

Zhou Jing did not expect the coal bosses to invest 300 million, 500 million or even 1 billion or 800 million. He only expected them to invest tens of millions in the electronics factory. He would pull them in first, and after they tasted the sweetness, he would not have to worry about them not following suit.

“Will there be a problem with funding if no one invests?”

Gu Jia brought Zhou Jing's teacup to the study and picked up the coal boss's business card that Zhou Jing brought back from the table.

“No problem, but investors need to share the risk.”

Zhou Jing knew nothing about the mobile phone industry and was not completely sure that he could succeed in one fell swoop.

Gu Jia looked at the business card and said, "This coal boss is quite famous in Yu City. How much money does he have?"

"30 to 40 billion. His wealth has shrunk a lot in the past few years, but he is still the richest man in Yu City."

Zhou Jing glanced at the business card and said.

"You are the next richest man in Yu City."

Gu Jia doesn't feel anything about three or four billion now. Her man is less than 24 years old and has four or five hundred million. She used to think that the life of a billionaire was out of reach, but now Gu Jia feels that the life of a billionaire is nothing more than that. No matter how rich a man is, his life is nothing more than romance and the daily necessities of life.

Zhou Jing is not interested in being the richest man. Compared to money, Zhou Jing wants to make his company the strongest in a certain field, so that he can make money without worrying about being strangled.

After standing in the study for a while, Gu Jia stopped disturbing Zhou Jing and went to the living room to do some housework within her ability.

After quickly completing the company information, Zhou Jing continued to check the difficulties encountered by the King's Summoning project team, and solved the problems that the project team could not solve for the time being and sent them to the King's Summoning project team work group.

Today is Saturday. Zhou Jing has just returned from a business trip. He didn't spend too much time on company matters. After dealing with the more urgent matters, he turned off the computer and went to accompany Gu Jia. "Put on a thick sweater and autumn johns."

Gu Jia, who was wiping the furniture in the living room, turned around and said to Zhou Jing, who was only wearing pajamas.

"Okay, I'll listen to you."

Although Zhou Jing was not cold, he still went to the bedroom to change clothes.

Half a month ago, the autumn atmosphere was just beginning, but not long after, the weather turned cold.

"Jia Jia, don't worry about it. The living room is cold. Go to bed and rest."

Wu Suqin said as she was preparing to cook.

"It's not cold. I'm wearing warm clothes."

Gu Jia was bored doing nothing and felt like a useless person.

"Take a break."

After changing his clothes, Zhou Jing pulled Gu Jia to the bedroom. Zhou Jing was bored when he was not busy with work, so he turned on the computer in the bedroom and found a movie to watch with Gu Jia.

"What kind of thing do you want to watch?"

Gu Jia said as she searched for movies.

"I'm fine with anything." Zhou Jing shook Gu Jia's hand and said, "After dinner, I'll go out and buy you a hand warmer."

“Are my hands cold?”

Gu Jia put her hand into the boy's clothes and said.

"It's not cold. It will be cold from the end of the month to mid-November before the heating comes on. Didn't you use it before?"

Zhou Jing still remembers seeing hand warmers in Gu Jia’s dormitory and home when he was a teacher. Gu Jia at that time looked a bit girlish, and the hand warmer she used was very cute.

"My hands and feet used to be cold in the winter, but I haven't felt that for the past two years. Do you think my feet are cold when I sleep at night?"

Gu Jia found a suspense horror movie to challenge her nerves again. The psychological trauma from watching a horror movie last time had dissipated.

"I didn't realize that you sucked my yang energy away."

Zhou Jing bent down, shook Gu Jia's feet and said.

"You can't feel it when you wear socks during the day. Girls' feet get cold in winter mainly at night. How do you like this movie?"

Gu Jia looked at her feet wearing white ruffled socks and said.

"This series is the same, the horror scenes are all caused by hallucinogenic drugs."

Zhou Jing has seen this film. In it, a woman tampered with a slogan she gave to her best friend, causing her best friend to have hallucinations. When competing for the female lead in a TV series, she thought the knife in her hand was a prop and injured her partner, which naturally ruined the competition. In the end, the woman committed suicide, and her boyfriend retaliated against the woman who gave her the lipstick.

"Okay, but this is suitable for timid people like me. It can minimize the psychological trauma."

Gu Jia doesn't like watching movies that are too dark and bloody. Firstly, she is afraid, and secondly, it will cause physical discomfort.

Zhou Jing hugged Gu Jia and patiently watched the movie with her. They had dinner just after the movie ended.

After dinner, Zhou Jing accompanied Gu Jia for a walk. It was late October, and the bleak autumn wind kept blowing down the leaves. It rained in BJ last night, and the weather was still gloomy today, making the autumn atmosphere even stronger. The rain on the ground had not dried up yet, leaving the fallen leaves standing on the ground.

"The autumn wind sweeps the fallen leaves. Autumn in the north is too short. We can wear down jackets soon."

Gu Jia stretched out his hand and felt the chill after the autumn rain.

"Will your belly leak air if it's sticking up?"

Zhou Jing said as he looked at Gu Jia's round belly.

"No, the sweater is inside the pants."

Gu Jia was dressed very warmly. Every winter she would wrap herself tightly. This year she was dressed even warmer so as not to let the little one in her belly catch a cold.

The weather has gotten colder, and the community square has become much quieter in the evening. Today is a rainy day, and there are only a few children and parents taking their kids out for a walk in the community square.

Zhou Jing held Gu Jia's hand and strolled leisurely on the community road to go to the supermarket to buy hand warmers.

There were many people in the supermarket. Zhou Jing pushed the shopping cart with his left hand and held Gu Jia's hand with his right hand to a less crowded place. He walked around the supermarket aimlessly and put the things he wanted to buy into the shopping cart.

“I haven’t had snacks in a while.”

Looking at the dazzling array of snacks, Gu Jia remembered that she hadn't eaten snacks for half a year. She would occasionally eat instant noodles when she was alone, but she has never eaten instant noodles since she had a boyfriend.

Zhou Jing waved Gu Jia's hand and said, "Do you want to eat?"

"I don't want to eat. I found that it's not that I like snacking before, but I don't want to cook or go out to eat."

Gu Jia now eats four meals a day. Having just finished dinner, she has no appetite for the wide variety of snacks in the supermarket.

After a walk around the food area, Zhou Jing bought some nuts. He and Gu Jia no longer eat any other snacks except nuts.

"Buy some peanuts too."

Gu Jia took a plastic bag and put the peanuts in it.

After going around every floor of the supermarket and not buying much in total, Zhou Jing remembered that BJ's family didn't have winter pajamas yet, so after coming out of the supermarket, the two of them found a clothing store and bought two sets of winter pajamas for Zhou Jing, Gu Jia and their mother respectively.

After returning home and resting for a while, Zhou Jing took the electric heater to the bathroom in advance and plugged it in. He waited for the bathroom to warm up before giving Gu Jia a bath and washing her hair. It was inconvenient for Gu Jia to take a bath and wash her hair by herself because of her big belly, so Zhou Jing washed her hair when she was not around. Zhou Jing was usually on a business trip for four or five days at most. He would wash Gu Jia once before the trip and she could wash her hair again when she came back. The last time Zhou Jing was on a business trip for eight or nine days, Gu Jia took a bath by herself, and Zhou Jing was very worried that she would accidentally slip.

"I feel like I can't get through life without you around."

While enjoying Zhou Jing's hair washing and bathing service, Gu Jia sighed and wondered if other women's husbands were so considerate when they were pregnant.

"In my opinion, pregnant women cannot take care of themselves."

Zhou Jing asked Gu Jia to close her eyes and rinsed the shampoo foam off her hair.

"It's not that exaggerated actually. I just need to be careful when washing myself."

Gu Jia is not that delicate. She can do whatever she needs to do while pregnant.

"My disciple is a billionaire after all, and you should be the wife of the shabbiest billionaire."

Zhou Jing doesn't have the airs of a boss, and Gu Jia doesn't have the airs of a boss's wife. Billionaire Zhou Jing doesn't want a secretary, and Gu Jia doesn't want a nanny. They both lead an ordinary life, and neither of them is a hedonist.

"I am the body of a maidservant of the lady's order."

Gu Jia doesn't feel that she is shabby, but rather the happiest person. A nanny can never compare to family members.

After taking a shower, Zhou Jing helped Gu Jia back to the bedroom. Then Zhou Jing went to clean the bathroom and washed Gu Jia's underwear and socks.

"You go and rest, Mom will take a shower."

Wu Suqin came to the bathroom and said.

"Just clean up this place."

Zhou Jing took Gu Jia's socks, underwear and panties to the bathroom to wash.

Seeing how well her son took care of Gu Jia, Wu Suqin felt deeply gratified. It was a blessing for a woman to marry a man like her son.

After washing Gu Jia’s underwear, Zhou Jing poured two glasses of water and went to the bedroom.

"Come up and rest. No need to be busy on the ground."

Gu Jia lifted the quilt and said.

There was nothing to do. Zhou Jing got into bed, leaned on the pillow and handed the cup of water to Gu Jia.

"Lie down and I'll give you a massage."

Gu Jia took two sips of water, put down the cup, then put a pillow behind her and said.

"I'm afraid of tiring you out."

Zhou Jing said with a smile.

"I'm not that delicate."

Gu Jia pulled the boy down and placed her hands on his temples, massaging them gently.
