Chapter 220 Code Words
The group of people ate the cake and were all stunned.

Wow, this cake is delicious!

"Don't be stingy, one bite isn't enough!"

"That's it!"

"It's all gone, it's all gone, it was only this small, and I've lost it all."

"Hey waiter, are you selling this cake?"

"Young master, it is not for sale at the moment."

"what a pity!"

However, the hot pot was also delicious, so he immediately called out, "Waiter, another serving of tripe and two servings of beef rolls."

"Good Le!"

After the birthday celebration, people became curious about the secret code and called over the waiter, eager to try it out.

Zhou Yuanjia thought it was fun, so he volunteered: "Anyone who wants to participate can join in. I'll say the code once, and then I'll randomly draw a sentence. I'll say the first half, and you say the second half."

Everyone was focused, even those in the private rooms on the second floor came out to join in.

"Heavenly King covers the Earth Tiger, Pagoda suppresses the River Demon."

"I did some calculations and found that you are missing me in your life."

"Potato, potato, I'm a sweet potato; sweet potato, sweet potato, I'm a Muggle!"

"Hey! Maka Maka! Uh~ Uh Siddhi!"

"Yellow River, Yellow River, I am the Yangtze River, Yangtze River, calling out to the Yellow River."

"The earth shakes the high hills, a scene of timeless beauty in the Western Hills! The gate faces the sea, where three rivers converge and flow for ten thousand years!"

······
Most people can keep up at the beginning, but as more and more coded messages come out, their brains can't keep up anymore.

"The codes have all been given. Now I'll begin. Who wants to go first?"

"Oh no, I didn't remember anything!"

"you do not say!"

Someone who recognized Zhou Yuanjia quickly asked, "Brother Zhou, could you say it again?"

“That won’t do!” Zhou Yuanjia said with a smile.

"Brother Zhou, don't mind him, I'll go first."

“Alright! Brother Li, listen carefully,” Zhou Yuanjia said.

"Potato, potato, I am a sweet potato."

"I think it was something like, potato, potato, I'm an idiot."

"Hahahahahahahaha!" A burst of laughter erupted from the surrounding area.

"Are you trying to make me laugh to death?! It's clearly Potato, Potato, and I'm a Muggle!"

"Fool? I think you're the fool!"

······
Zhou Yuanjia said with a smile, "Brother Li, I'm sorry, I can't give you the prize. Do you have any more?"

“Me, me, me…”

"Let him be strong, no matter how strong he is..."

"If I'm strong, are you strong too?"

"wrong answer."

"Hey! Maka Maka!..."

"Ugh... Oh my god?"

"wrong answer."

"I did some calculations..." "and discovered that I'm destined to be with you?"

······
"Yellow River, Yellow River, I am the Yangtze River..."

"The Yangtze River calls out to the Yellow River."

"Congratulations, guest! You've matched our code. Here's your gift."

The gift is Gu's chili oil, which is already well-known in Fucheng, but it's not yet available for sale. Gu's seasonings also include it.

"Brother, you're pretty good. You can remember all of this and even got this chili oil."

"Hehe, that's the only sentence I remembered, who would have thought it would be just that one." The man scratched his head sheepishly.

Someone immediately asked, "Brother Zhou, is this code always the same?"

"How could that be? There are about a hundred different codes, and each time we only draw about ten of them. Of course, if you can memorize all of them, you'll definitely be able to answer them correctly in the future," Zhou Yuanjia explained with a smile.

The hot pot restaurant was bustling with activity, and laughter echoed continuously outside, making the customers waiting outside even more impatient.

Looking at the booming business, Mrs. He was overjoyed.

Xu Qingmeng listened to the words of her maid Chunmei, but she wasn't too excited, since she had already thought of it.

The hot pot restaurant was so popular that it continued into the evening, and when Mrs. He got home that night, she was filled with emotion.

"Mengniang, this hot pot business is booming! We almost didn't have enough ingredients today."

"Mother, today is the first day, and everyone finds it strange. Plus, the academy is on holiday, so it's all very nice."

Gu Yunyi said, "Mother, you've had a long day, you should rest."

"Alright, I'm really tired today. You should all get some rest too. Yuanjia, you're exhausted too, go back and rest now."

"Okay, Auntie."

Next, Mrs. He took Xinting and the old woman from her family to the hot pot restaurant early in the morning. Since it was only the beginning, Mrs. He was still a little worried, so she insisted on going to check on things.

Actually, Xu Qingmeng said that there was no need to go every day, as there was a shopkeeper and Xinting was also there, so it would be fine.

Mrs. He felt that she was just idling at home anyway, so she would go and check on Xu Qingmeng every day, since Xu Qingmeng was the most important person to her right now.

As things settled down at the hot pot restaurant, Xu Qingmeng settled down at home to rest and prepare for childbirth. As her due date approached, Xu Qingmeng wasn't nervous, but Gu Yunyi was, in fact, getting anxious and even a little worried.

Zhou Yuanjia also knew some of it.

A couple of days ago, while you were discussing academic matters with them, you were suddenly called away by a servant in your household halfway through the discussion.

The two only learned the next day that the man's wife had gone into labor that day and was making a huge fuss. The mother almost didn't survive, but thanks to the arrival of Dr. Cheng, a skilled physician from the prefectural city, the man's wife's life was saved.

Even though the person's life was saved, their body was still severely damaged.

Xu Qingmeng's health was already poor, and seeing this, it seemed she was pregnant with twins again. Her heart pounded with anxiety, and that day she began having nightmares, and then…

Before Xu Qingmeng could even feel anxious, Gu Yunyi had already started experiencing prenatal anxiety.

"Dr. Cheng said that you might have a premature birth. When your mother gave birth to Yun Sheng and Yun Mo, she went into labor early."

Gu Yunyi was worried about Xu Qingmeng's belly, and He Shi was also worried. Every day, she saw that Xu Qingmeng's belly was frighteningly big, while other parts of her body did not gain any weight. There was only a round belly.

It's terrifying to look at.

“My lady, I’ve already had someone inquire about two experienced midwives, and I plan to have them move in tomorrow. I’ve also made arrangements with Doctor Cheng; I’ll have Gu Tong go see him. Xin Ting will stay with you for the next couple of days, so don’t worry about anything at the shop.”

I had heard before that childbirth is a brush with death for women, something men can't understand. Besides, all women have to give birth, so it seems perfectly normal.

However, Xu Qingmeng was no longer as relaxed as before; the further she went, the harder it became, and Gu Yunyi was increasingly terrified as he watched.

Xu Qingmeng: "..."

"Aren't you too nervous? It's not time yet."

Xu Qingmeng has a pretty good attitude. At first, she would say a few words of comfort, but now she's heard them so many times that her ears are tired of them.
