Chapter 485 Little Slug
"The air is free."
Outside, Gu Jia, who felt as if she had been locked up for months during her pregnancy, took a deep breath and was quite emotional.
"Do you still want to get pregnant?"
Zhou Jing held Gu Jia's hand and said with a smile.
"Although it's hard, freedom is precious, and children are even more valuable, don't you think?"
After experiencing pregnancy and childbirth, although Gu Jia felt very suffocated, she could bear it. Life is long, and having more children means more hope.
"Correct."
Zhou Jing put his arm around Gu Jia's waist and pulled her up.
Gu Jia pulled her feet back and said with a smile, "Is it heavy enough?"
"About a hundred pounds."
"I hope it's less than 100 pounds."
If it exceeds 100 kilograms, Gu Jia’s next task is to reduce it to within 100 kilograms.
Gu Jia wanted to walk a little longer after holding it in for too long, so Zhou Jing didn't drive. The two of them walked slowly to the supermarket.
"Zhou Zhou should be waking up soon. I wonder if my mom and your mom can use milk powder to soothe her so she won't cry."
Gu Jia opened her cell phone, checked the time and said with a smile.
"Have you fed Zhou Zhou with milk powder during this period?"
Zhou Jing really wants to take his child shopping, but he is too young to be brought out now.
"No, the little guy has a good appetite and shouldn't be picky about food."
Passing by a small clinic, there was a scale at the door, so Gu Jia went to weigh herself.
Zhou Jing went to take a look at the scale display.
"102 pounds, I don't know if it's accurate."
Gu Jia couldn't tell how much weight she had gained. In fact, she had gained more than 5 kilograms compared to before she became pregnant.
"Almost. I'm in good shape now."
Zhou Jing didn't think Gu Jia was fat at all. With a height of nearly 102 meters and a weight of kilograms, she wasn't even slightly fat.
"The two things women should never believe in men are: you are not fat and you look better with a little more fat."
Gu Jia took Zhou Jing's arm and jumped down the stairs.
"Both radishes and greens have their own way of making love. I like white and plump radishes."
Zhou Jing didn't comment. Some boys do like thin girls, but he likes plump ones.
When they arrived at the supermarket, Gu Jia took a shopping cart and pushed it a few steps to Zhou Jing. She walked around and looked around, taking whatever she wanted to eat. However, she looked at the dazzling array of snacks but didn't see anything she wanted to eat.
"Chocolate, want some?"
Zhou Jing stopped beside the shelf where chocolates were displayed and said.
"Eat. I'll take the most expensive one. There are twelve of them. On average, each one costs more than thirty. Do you feel bad about it?"
Gu Jia glanced at the shelf and picked up a box of dark chocolate worth more than 400 yuan.
"It's much more expensive than smoking for men."
Zhou Jing took another box of dark chocolate and one box of white chocolate, each box also had more than four hundred and twelve pieces.
"Smoking is harmful to health."
Gu Jia continued walking forward with a smile.
The first floor of the supermarket was full of snacks. Gu Jia bought some dried fruits, then went to the second floor and walked around every floor of the supermarket. On the way home, she went to the fruit store and bought some fruits.
At home, Wu Suqin and Gu's mother were coaxing the child together, and the child was gurgling and looked very happy.
"Did Zhou Zhou eat the milk powder?"
Gu Jia put down her things and went to see the child.
"Eat it, Zhou Zhou, go see if mom and dad are back."
Wu Suqin pushed the cradle down so that the child could see it.
"Uh, oh."
Seeing Zhou Jing and Gu Jia, the child's expression became more lively.
"Do you miss your mother?"
Gu Jia gently held the child's hand and placed it on her face.
"Are you crying?"
Zhou Jing gently scratched the child's chubby face with his fingers and said.
"Even if you cried, you have to say you didn't cry."
Mother Gu said while holding one of the child's feet.
"Little slug, you cry as soon as your mom and dad leave for a while."
Gu Jia kissed the back of the child's hand.
The young couple took care of the child while Gu's mother and Wu Suqin went to do other things.
Since having a child, Zhou Jing no longer needs to watch TV to pass the time. He pushes the stroller back to the bedroom, picks up the child and puts him on the big bed, changes into pajamas and goes to bed to play with the child.
There were various toys in the box on the bed. Zhou Jing put the rattle in the child's little hand and shook it while holding the child's hand.
The rattle made a "dong dong dong" sound, and the little girl opened her little mouth and tried hard to smile.
"Your father forgot his wife when he had a child."
Gu Jia sat on the edge of the bed and changed her clothes, pretending to hit Zhou Jing to see the child's reaction.
"Mom is jealous, Dad is going to coax her." Zhou Jing pulled Gu Jia down on the bed and said, "Shall I wipe your body again?"
"Forget it, Yuezi, go out and take a shower."
My mother didn’t allow me to take a bath during the confinement period, and Gu Jia was too lazy to wipe her body, so she just washed certain parts of her body.
"Eat your stinky feet for daddy."
Gu Jia picked up the child's chubby little feet and put them into Zhou Jing's mouth, then lay down to change her clothes.
"It stinks. Have you not washed your feet in a few days?"
Zhou Jing bit the child's foot and put him down.
"What's smelly? Zhou Zhou's feet smell so good."
After changing into pajamas, Gu Jia went to the bathroom to get some water from the basin to wash herself, then returned to the bedroom to play with the child.
"Ignore Daddy and play with Mommy."
Gu Jia asked the child to turn to her side.
"Turn around and daddy will tell you a story."
Zhou Jing kissed the child's cheek and put his head in front of Gu Jia.
"Mom can tell stories, too. Kiss mom." Gu Jia pushed Zhou Jing away, lying on her side and holding the child in her arms. She put her face close to the child's mouth. The child opened his little mouth and squeezed Gu Jia's face. Gu Jia smiled and said, "You're so good."
"Kiss daddy."
Zhou Jing also moved his face closer.
"Jiajia, are you hungry? Have some porridge first."
Wu Suqin brought two bowls of porridge and placed them on the bedroom table.
While her daughter-in-law was in confinement after childbirth, Wu Suqin cooked four meals a day for her: one at around eight in the morning, one at a little after eleven in the afternoon, one at a little after four in the afternoon, and one at around nine in the evening.
"Mom is going to have dinner. Are you hungry, Zhou Zhou? If you are hungry, open your mouth. If not, just go to sleep."
Gu Jia handed the child to Zhou Jing, got out of bed, turned on the desk lamp and turned off the main light, went to the living room, opened a box of chocolates she had bought earlier, and let her mother and mother-in-law have a taste.
"It's time to go to bed. Fall asleep first. Daddy will count to 123 and we will close our eyes together. 1, 2, 3, close your eyes."
It was almost eight forty. Zhou Jing stopped teasing the child and coaxed her to sleep. After counting 123, Zhou Jing closed his eyes.
Two seconds later Zhou Jing opened his eyes, and the little guy's watery eyes were still looking at him.
"If you don't sleep, Daddy will sleep. Just close your eyes."
Zhou Jing blew gently on the child's eyes, then closed his eyes and pretended to sleep.
"How can you coax a child to sleep like this? Just let the child coax you to sleep."
Gu Jia couldn't help but smile, curious whether the child's father could achieve his goal in this way.
Zhou Jing didn't say anything and continued to pretend to sleep. After five or six minutes, he still closed his eyes and whispered, "See if Zhou Zhou is asleep."
Gu Jia stood up and lay on the bed to look at the child who was facing away from her. "He really fell asleep."
At this time, the child was facing Zhou Jing, with his eyes closed and his mouth slightly open, looking like he was sleeping soundly. Gu Jia sighed. In her opinion, coaxing a child was a very difficult task, but it was so simple and casual with Zhou Jing.
"My little cutie is as considerate as you are."
Zhou Jing opened his eyes and quietly got out of bed to drink his porridge.
"Even though he's so unreliable, the child still benefits from it so much. Do all men coax their children this way?" Gu Jia said, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.
"You think too complicated."
"Ok."
Gu Jia turned off the desk lamp and took the bowl to the living room to eat.
Today's dinner is rice, celery beef, mushrooms, vegetables and minced meat and tofu porridge. Gu Jia is in confinement after giving birth, so Zhou Jing can also enjoy a delicious meal.
"The child is asleep?"
Gu's mother helped bring the dishes prepared by Wu Suqin to the table.
Gu Jia nodded and said, "How did you coax your children to sleep in the past?"
"It depends on the child's temper. Some children need to be held by an adult to fall asleep, and will wake up if they are not fully asleep."
Wu Suqin first served half a bowl of rice to Gu Jia, and then served half a bowl to Zhou Jing.
"Zhou Zhou is very worry-free. Zhou Jing doesn't even need to be coaxed. He will fall asleep after lying down together for a while."
Gu Jia said with a smile.
"If the children are less worried, the adults can relax a lot. Jiajia, eat more meat."
Wu Suqin looked at her daughter-in-law and said.
"I estimate that I will gain another two kilograms by the end of the confinement period in the remaining half month."
Gu Jia wanted to control her weight, but she couldn't control her mouth.
"It's okay to be fat, it looks better when fatter."
Wu Suqin was worried that her daughter-in-law was too thin and had too little milk to feed the baby.
"One hundred kilograms is just right. It should be controlled at around one hundred kilograms."
Gu Jia is thirty years old this year, and it is not the time for her to gain weight.
"One hundred and ten pounds is just right."
Zhou Jing picked up a piece of beef for Gu Jia.
"No, don't fool me."
Gu Jia moved the bowl.
After finishing his meal, Zhou Jing went to the bedroom to check on the child. The little one was sleeping soundly. Zhou Jing went to the study, turned on the computer, checked emails and chatted with Yang Wenwen.
Adults should feed their children once before going to bed, and coax them to sleep after feeding. Adults do not need to rest in a hurry.
After finishing her meal, Gu Jia went to the study. She heard Zhou Jing's footsteps calmly, but his hand quickly operated the mouse to exit the QQ chat with Yang Wenwen and concentrate on reading the company email.
"Why don't you let my mom and your mom sleep in the same bedroom and you sleep alone? The noise from the kids won't allow you to rest well."
Gu Jia was worried that Zhou Jing was too tired. He was busy at the company all day and didn't get enough rest at night, so he couldn't bear it for a long time.
"It's okay. There's a long way to go. I'll definitely have to adapt."
Zhou Jing stretched lazily, hooked Gu Jia's waist and smiled.
"There's a lot of time to go, so take care of yourself and don't get up so early in the morning."
Gu Jia thought she would wait until she was out of confinement and see how the situation would develop, as she would have to go back to work by then.
Zhou Jing is full of energy and five or six hours of sleep a day is enough for him. He doesn't feel tired at the company. Instead, he feels relaxed. Compared with tossing around between women, the hard work is not worth mentioning.
After standing in the study for a while, Gu Jia went to the living room to watch TV.
Zhou Jing logged back into the QQ account he used to chat with Yang Wenwen and replied to her message. Zhou Jing had developed a good habit of muting the volume every time he turned on his computer. It is better to be safe than sorry.
It was almost ten o'clock when Yang Wenwen got off work and prepared to go home, ending her chat with Zhou Jing.
Zhou Jing exited QQ and deleted his login history, then opened the mobile phone project planning document. This document planned various sections with smartphones as the core, and Zhou Jing was still improving it. To be precise, smartphones were the first important node in Zhou Jing's career, and projects such as Bluetooth speakers and traditional mobile phones were just preludes.
In addition to Bluetooth speakers and mobile phones, Zhou Jing's planned R&D projects also include electric toothbrushes, mobile power supplies, Bluetooth headsets, smart speakers, etc. Electric toothbrushes and mobile power supplies are currently under research.
There is no technical difficulty for Chuangzhi Technology Co., Ltd. to make mobile power banks. The batteries are small-sized, high-capacity reusable batteries customized from battery companies. The current level that can be achieved is that four batteries can store 10,000 mAh of power, which is enough for daily use for ordinary people. Mobile power banks are inconvenient to charge and can only be used for emergencies.
The reusable micro-batteries used in Bluetooth headsets were jointly developed by Chuangzhi Technology and a battery company. Zhou Jing invested two million yuan in the battery company for research and development, and the patents were shared after the successful development. Chuangzhi Technology Co., Ltd. does not need to develop the batteries used in Bluetooth headsets and mobile power supplies by itself. Cooperating with the battery company saves both money and effort.
The high energy density battery of the mobile power bank can also be used for electric toothbrushes.
What Zhou Jing cares about is the batteries for smartphones. For the time being, he does not have the ability to develop them himself and can only buy those from other companies. Even if he has the funds for research and development, it will be very troublesome. Zhou Jing plans to acquire or invest in a battery company. Batteries are a very important part of future development. Mobile phones need to increase battery capacity and charging speed, and electric cars also need to increase batteries.
It was almost half past ten. Zhou Jing turned off the computer, went to see that the child was still asleep, and went to the living room to watch TV with Gu Jia.
"Zhou Zhou went to bed at around 8 o'clock, and slept for less than two hours. She woke up to eat milk, moved around for a while, and went back to sleep at 12 o'clock. I let her go to bed late today."
Gu Jia calculated the time and said.
"Eleven or twelve o'clock is the normal bedtime for young people."
In his previous life, Zhou Jing would go to bed at eleven or twelve o'clock no matter if he had anything to do. The difference now is that he could only play with his phone to kill time, but now he can play with his children.
Hearing the crying sounds coming from the bedroom, Zhou Jing and Gu Jia went back to the bedroom immediately.
"Don't cry, little cutie, daddy is here."
The light was too bright and dazzling when the child just woke up, so Zhou Jing turned on the desk lamp, went to the bed, hugged the child, kissed his cheek, and then untied the child's diaper.
"Zhou Zhou, be good and don't cry."
The child had a bowel movement, and Gu Jia rolled up the diaper and threw it away.
"Don't cry, Daddy will wipe your butt."
Zhou Jing took out two wet wipes and asked the child to lie down and wipe his butt.
The child was still crying loudly, and Zhou Jing and Gu Jia were in a panic for a moment.
"You're hungry, aren't you?"
Gu Jia sat on the bed and held the child in her arms, and the child soon stopped crying.
“It really works.”
Looking at the little girl who was eating very contentedly, Zhou Jing gently poked her face with his fingers.
"Little foodie, he won't stop crying when he wakes up and can't eat."
Gu Jia looked at the child who was still in tears and said.
"A happy life is eating, sleeping, waking up and eating again."
Zhou Jing gently pushed the child away, and the little guy buried his face stubbornly in Gu Jia's arms.
"Don't tease me now, or you'll choke if you cry again."
Gu Jia leaned closer to the child.
Zhou Jing originally wanted to snatch the food from the child to amuse him, but he just let it go when he got choked.
After the child was full, he burped and lay in Gu Jia's arms and stopped eating.
"Are you full? Raise your head so mom can see it."
Gu Jia turned the child over, held him in her arms and gently patted his back to help him pass the gas.
"When you are full, smile at your dad."
Zhou Jing gently touched the child's chin and said.
"what!"
The child squeezed his head in Gu Jia's arms and waved his hands like a spoiled child. He couldn't speak, but tried hard to make sounds with his mouth. He had just woken up, and the little guy looked even more adorable with a bit of silly cuteness.
"You change your expression so quickly. You were crying just now, but now you are happy?"
Gu Jia lowered her head and kissed the child on the head.
"Tickle."
Zhou Jing scratched the child's feet with his fingers.
Gu Jia lifted the child's hand and said, "Kick daddy with your feet."
Zhou Jing put his face close to let the child kick him. The little guy's feet were soft and it felt very comfortable to kick.
"You go to sleep first!"
Gu Jia moved inside and said.
"Don't be sleepy, put yourself on the bed and move around for a while."
Zhou Jing made room for the child.
Gu Jia put the child on the pillow, lay on her side, put one hand on the child's belly and rubbed it gently in a clockwise direction.
"Two tigers, two tigers running fast, one without ears, one without tails."
Zhou Jing crossed his legs and raised his hands while doing the finger dance, and the children danced happily.
"Dad sings so well, cheer for him."
Gu Jia asked the little girl to hold the rattle and shake it.
