Chapter 322 Bottom Line (32)
The next morning, sunlight poured into the room through the window, illuminating the entire house.
However, Zhou Yian and Ji Xiao were still immersed in a sweet dream and did not wake up until the sun was high in the sky. They slowly opened their eyes and stretched.
After getting up and washing up simply, they changed into their home clothes and walked out of the room hand in hand.
"Sir, Madam, you're finally up! Lunch will be ready soon and we'll be eating in a moment. You can eat some fruit first to fill your stomach." Sister Wang came out of the kitchen with a smile on her face and placed a plate of carefully cut fruit on the coffee table in the living room.
"Okay, thank you Sister Wang." Zhou Yian and Ji Xiao responded in unison.
Afterwards, Zhou Yian poured two cups of warm water, one for Ji Xiao and the other for himself, and then they went to the living room and sat down. As they were about to have lunch, they did not go to the study, but came to the living room, turned on the TV, listened to the sound, and chatted together.
After a while, Sister Wang came from the kitchen with the soup that had been cooking since early morning and carefully placed it on the dining table. After all the dishes were placed properly, she called out, "Sir, Madam, you can come and eat."
"Coming!" Hearing the voice, Zhou Yian took Ji Xiao's hand and walked towards the restaurant together.
Sister Wang first served each of them a bowl of steaming hot soup, and said with a smile: "Today I specially made a pot of soup that nourishes the yin and moistens the lungs. Mr. and Mrs., drink a bowl each first, and then start eating."
"Okay, thank you Sister Wang." The two responded at the same time and thanked Sister Wang.
Zhou Yian picked up the soup spoon, blew it gently, and then took a few sips slowly. The soup tasted delicious, which made him feel very satisfied. He put down the spoon and said to Sister Wang with a smile: "This soup is really delicious. Thank you for your hard work, Sister Wang."
After hearing this, Sister Wang showed a happy smile on her face and replied: "As long as you enjoy your meal, this is what I should do." After that, she picked up the bowl of soup in front of her and slowly drank it.
The three of them sat around the dining table, enjoying the delicious food. They ate and chatted, and the atmosphere was harmonious and warm.
After lunch, Zhou Yian and Ji Xiao went to the study together. Zhou Yian turned on the computer and began to look up relevant books and materials, focusing on improving his coordination ability.
Ji Xiao was sitting at the desk nearby, concentrating on her work. Her fingers were rapidly tapping on the keyboard, her eyes focused and serious.
Since Ji Xiao would regularly purchase a batch of supplies and transport them to the impoverished mountainous areas, she would become extremely busy every once in a while. However, for her, these busy times were only short-lived, and it usually only took about two days to complete everything.
Time passed quickly, and it was already afternoon. Zhou Yian felt a little tired, so he stood up and stretched his muscles. His eyes fell on Ji Xiao who was still working hard, and he was immediately attracted by her concentration. He walked quietly behind Ji Xiao, stretched out his hands, gently squeezed her shoulders, and asked with concern: "Are you tired? Do you want to take a break?"
Ji Xiao felt Zhou Yian's concern, raised her head, smiled at him, and said, "I'm fine, I just need to deal with a little bit."
Zhou Yian nodded slightly to show that he understood, and then said softly: "Then I'll accompany you." As he said that, he reached out and pulled over a chair, sat next to Ji Xiao, and quietly accompanied her to work.
Time passed by, and Ji Xiao finally finished the work at hand. She stretched her body, with a relieved smile on her face.
"Thank you for your hard work, honey." Zhou Yian gently handed over a glass of water and looked at Ji Xiao with concern, "Take a good rest now." Ji Xiao took the glass of water with a smile, took a sip, and responded happily, "Thank you, husband."
Then, she leaned lightly on Zhou Yian's broad shoulders, enjoying the tranquility after the busy time.
After she recovered, Ji Xiao said, "Let's go back to the village today to accompany grandma."
"Okay, no problem." Zhou Yian agreed without hesitation, and then asked considerately, "Then think about what you need to bring and tell me, and I'll prepare it."
Ji Xiao shook her head gently and replied with a smile: "No need, I asked Sister Wang to help prepare it yesterday. I originally planned to go back alone today, but since you have time, then we can go back together."
"Yeah, okay." Zhou Yian nodded, then stood up. "Then I'll go say hello to Sister Wang first, then change my clothes, and then we'll set off."
"Okay." Ji Xiao nodded obediently.
Zhou Yian came to the kitchen and told Sister Wang that they were going back to the village to visit grandma. Sister Wang smiled and nodded, indicating that she had already prepared everything and placed it at the door.
Zhou Yian returned to the room and quickly changed into the clothes that Ji Xiao had just prepared. Ji Xiao also packed up the items she was going to take back and walked out of the room.
When Zhou Yian came out, he found that the two were wearing couple outfits, and his face was immediately filled with smiles.
Zhou Yian reached out and took the small suitcase from Ji Xiao, then took her hand and walked towards the door.
Zhou Yian changed into his going-out shoes, then picked up the things Sister Wang had left at the door. Ji Xiao picked up the car keys, then said to Sister Wang, "Sister Wang, we're going out."
"Okay, ma'am, please be safe on the road."
The two came to the garage, and Zhou Yian put the luggage in his hands into the trunk, then opened the car door and helped Ji Xiao get in the car. After fastening the seat belt, Zhou Yian sat in the driver's seat and fastened the seat belt before starting the car.
The car drove out of the garage and left the community, and drove smoothly and evenly on the road. As the scenery outside the window continued to recede, the two people were getting closer and closer to the village.
The two of them left home neither too early nor too late, so they did not encounter traffic jams, and it was still early when they arrived in the village.
Zhou Yian drove the car into the garage and parked it. He got out of the car first and helped Ji Xiao out before opening the trunk and taking out the things inside. Ji Xiao was holding her cell phone and car keys in her hands, and Zhou Yian was holding all the other things.
As soon as Ji Xiao came out of the garage, she shouted, "Grandma, I'm back. Where are you?"
Ji Xiao didn't hear a response, and then there was no sign of grandma in the yard, the main room, or the dining room. Ji Xiao said to Zhou Yian, "Yian, go put the things away. I'll see if grandma is in the backyard."
"Okay, be careful." Zhou Yian warned worriedly.
"I got it. Don't worry." Ji Xiao said and walked towards the backyard.
Ji Xiao walked into the backyard and saw her grandmother busy in the vegetable garden.
She quickened her pace, walked to her grandmother, and took her arm affectionately, "Grandma, I'm back."
Grandma turned around and saw Ji Xiao, a happy smile appeared on her face, "Oh, my dear granddaughter, why are you back?"
"Of course I missed you, so I brought Yian back to see you." Ji Xiao said with a smile.
The two chatted for a while, and Ji Xiao wanted to help pick vegetables. But her grandmother stopped her and said, "My dear, you are pregnant now, so don't help me. I will be well soon."
Zhou Yi had just put away his things and came to the backyard. Seeing this, he took the basket from his grandmother and said to Ji Xiao, "Xiao Xiao, I'll do it. You just stand aside and wait."
Then he turned to his grandmother and said, "Grandma, you go and accompany Xiaoxiao, and I will pick the rest. You tell me which vegetables you want to pick, and I will do it."
"Okay." Ji Xiao could only reluctantly let go of the hand holding the basket and responded.
Seeing that Zhou Yian didn't insist on doing it herself after hearing what she said, grandma nodded and agreed. Then she walked to Ji Xiao and chatted with her. Zhou Yian was busy in the vegetable garden alone.
Soon he had picked enough vegetables for three people, then he came to the two of them with the basket and said, "Grandma, Xiaoxiao, let's go back."
"Okay." Ji Xiao said as she walked in front holding her grandmother's hand, while Zhou Yian walked behind them carrying a basket of vegetables.
Back in the house, Zhou Yian was busy washing vegetables and cooking, while Ji Xiao chatted with her grandmother. Soon, a sumptuous dinner was placed on the table. The three of them sat together, eating and chatting, in a warm and harmonious atmosphere.
After dinner, grandma talked about some interesting things in the village, and Ji Xiao listened with great interest. Zhou Yian listened quietly at the side, occasionally interjecting a few words. Unknowingly, it was already very late. Grandma yawned and said she was a little sleepy.
Ji Xiao specially customized the decoration of grandma's room according to her living habits and height. The room is also equipped with security alarms and monitoring equipment, and even the main room, kitchen, dining room and yard are also equipped with monitoring equipment.
These monitoring systems are a complete security system that Ji Xiao created through her self-study in the previous worlds. Except for herself, who can observe the situation at home in real time, no one else can invade it.
Even the current hacking technology could not break through the firewall she set up. The computer connected to the security system was also made by Ji Xiao herself.
The firewall she designed was not written in ordinary Chinese, English or C language, but was written in seal script classical Chinese, which can be said to be understood by only her.
"Grandma, please go and have some rest. We'll talk tomorrow." Ji Xiao helped her grandma up and sent her back to her room.
"Okay, you should go to bed early too." Grandma smiled and patted Ji Xiao's hand.
After sending grandma back to her room safely and watching her fall asleep, Ji Xiao and Zhou Yian went upstairs to their own bedroom. Zhou Yian waited patiently for Ji Xiao to finish her shower before going into the bathroom to wash up.
After washing up and changing into a comfortable nightgown, Ji Xiao came to the bed, slowly lay down, gently stroked her bulging belly, and felt the baby's heartbeat.
She said gently to the baby in her belly: "Baby, are you happy today? We are here to visit grandma."
Zhou Yian then climbed onto the bed, lying next to Ji Xiao, and gently placed his hand on her belly, echoing, "Baby, mom and dad love you, and hope you grow up healthy."
After saying this, the two of them smiled at each other tacitly, their eyes filled with happiness.
Then, Zhou Yian reached out, dimmed the lights in the room, then lay down beside Ji Xiao and gently held her in his arms.
Ji Xiao installed several cleaning arrays in the houses in the village, and also arranged sweeping robots to work on a regular basis every day to keep the entire house spotless.
So, while Zhou Yian and his grandmother were busy preparing dinner in the kitchen, Ji Xiao went upstairs and changed into a set of clean bedding in preparation for sleep at night.
So now the two of them can lie down and sleep peacefully.
