My Happy Daily Life After Being Reborn-Chapter 291 - 15 Ultrasound B

Zheng Cuicui arrived earlier than others, and went straight into the kitchen to help out. Han Shouxin was busy at the Military Department, and they had only managed to rush over in the middle of the meal.

"What’s up, was there another issue at the Military Department?" Shen Chi poured him a bowl of wine.

"Nothing but trifles," Han Shouxin casually replied, then turned to face the three elders at the table who he had not officially met before, and bowed respectfully, "As Chi’s eldest brother, I want to thank you for all the years of care you have given him. This kindness, our Han Family will never forget for the rest of our lives."

The three elders once again felt at a loss for words, but Han Shouxin’s attitude quickly relaxed as he said to them, "Grandpa Shen, Grandma Luo, and Uncle Shen, don’t feel uncomfortable. This is just a one-time formality. We will be seeing each other often from now on, and saying too much will just make it awkward."

Seeing that Han Shouxin’s demeanor was just like Han Shouzhen’s, Luo Yufang finally let her guard down. It was a relief; the Han Family was still reliable. Chi’s siblings treated them this way, showing that they saw Chi as their own younger brother and did not distance themselves because they hadn’t grown up together.

As for Han Kuang? In Luo Yufang’s heart, that man had already remarried, and she didn’t expect him to pay much attention to Chi, a child not raised by himself. The old lady was very pragmatic, thinking the old man didn’t have many years left to live, and she didn’t care at all whether he was good to his grandson.

"Wanwan, drink this soup. It’s made with chicken broth and contains a lot of mushrooms, lotus root slices, and fresh bamboo shoots. I skimmed off the fat while it was stewing," Lin Xiaoguai had also been brought downstairs by Shen Chi, and now Zheng Cuicui was urging her to drink the soup.

Hearing this, Shen Chi looked over, picked up the bowl in front of Lin Xiaoguai, tasted a small sip, and said, "It’s very fresh, not oily at all. Wanwan, do you want to try it?"

Lin Xiaoguai nodded and took a sip. When no feeling of nausea arose in her chest and abdomen, she drank a second sip with confidence.

After drinking half a bowl, she felt full and passed the rest to Shen Chi. Without any aversion, Shen Chi quickly finished off the soup she had left.

The attention of everyone at the table was largely fixed on Lin Xiaoguai. Seeing that she had safely drunk half a bowl of soup, Luo Yufang stood up and said, "I’ll go check the kitchen. The drunken fish and rice wine dumplings should be ready." freeweɓnovēl.coɱ

Soon enough, she brought out a plate of drunken fish.

The drunken fish was made with a two-pound carp. Shen Chi placed a piece of the fish belly along with some wine lees into Lin Xiaoguai’s bowl and said expectantly, "Give it a try?"

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Lin Xiaoguai felt a bit uncomfortable, but she still lowered her head and took a bite. She chewed slowly. Only after she had swallowed did her expression remain normal. But before everyone could breathe a sigh of relief, Lin Xiaoguai made a retching sound and vomited into a spittoon beside her.

Now the half bowl of soup she had consumed before came back up.

Luo Yufang frowned with worry, "Can she not even eat the rice wine dumplings?"

After vomiting, Lin Xiaoguai took the cup of water Shen Chi handed to her and felt weak and breathless with an uncomfortable and empty stomach but no appetite.

"I want to lie down for a while," she said to Shen Chi.

"Alright, I’ll carry you upstairs," said Shen Chi as he picked her up and took her upstairs.

Downstairs, everyone exchanged glances. Han Shouzhen sighed, "How will she cope if this keeps up?" She had suffered a lot while pregnant with Ping’an, but that was because she was depressed. Even so, she didn’t have the same issue as Lin Xiaoguai, unable to eat anything.

"Maybe try some pickled sour plums?" Wan Quan suggested, "I’ve heard they can stimulate appetite for many pregnant women."

"No use," Shen Yinian said with a frown, "We’ve made a lot of candied preserved fruit at home, and mother has tried it to no effect. Besides, she doesn’t favor sour foods."

Wan Quan didn’t know what else could be done then.

"How about an IV drip then? Something like glucose or protein," Han Shouzhen proposed.

"That won’t do," said Zheng Cuicui, a doctor, shaking her head, "The obstetrician said that, judging from the blood hCG and progesterone levels, the growth condition of the child is good, and giving glucose and protein might be detrimental to the fetal growth."

"What should we do then?" Han Shouzhen said with a headache, "The child is alright for now, but with Wanwan’s condition like this, won’t it affect the baby eventually?"

She didn’t know that the baby had remained stable until now because Lin Xiaoguai had been using spiritual spring water and various nutritional supplements to provide the necessary nutrients for fetal growth.

Shen Chi had just come downstairs and, upon hearing her words, said, "I bought some beef jerky today, and Wanwan ate two pieces before dinner without throwing up. If necessary, I’ll just go and buy more."
