Chapter 62 A Huge Change
"doing what?"

Chen Jingle looked at the hem of her clothes that Chen Ruoqi was tugging at.

"We'll be eating soon, where are you in such a hurry to go?" Chen Ruoqi said reproachfully.

Chen Jingle gave an awkward smile; he couldn't very well say that he complained about the crowd or the noise.

He casually remarked, "It's still early. According to our usual routine, we wouldn't start eating until at least 12 o'clock, but it's only 10 o'clock now. I can make it back in time by taking a walk."

"Sit down, sit down, I have something to tell you." Chen Ruoqi pointed to the folding chair next to her.

Chen Jingle had no choice but to sit down and put Lin Yuqing on his lap.

Chen Ruoqi looked at Lin Yuqing, smiled, then turned her gaze back to Chen Jingle, looked him up and down, and blinked: "You know what, he's changed quite a bit."

"Have it?"

Chen Jing chuckled and pretended to be stupid.

"There must be!"

Chen Ruoqi nodded repeatedly: "Zhang Yue hasn't met you many times, so he didn't notice. But we grew up together, and I could tell at a glance that he's different from before."

Firstly, in terms of appearance and temperament, given Chen Jingle's current state, who would believe that he is already 30 years old?
He looked much younger than when we last met; no one would doubt that he was a recent college graduate.

Her skin is ridiculously good; it's not only fair and clean, but also incredibly supple and moisturized. Any woman would be envious.

As far as she knew, Chen Jingle did not wear makeup, and there were no traces of makeup on her face.

To look this good without makeup already puts him to shame, far surpassing many so-called handsome men in the Chinese entertainment industry.

The change is even more significant in terms of temperament.

He used to seem rather dull and a homebody, but now he's become much more sunny and cheerful, and his conversations are like a breath of fresh air.

Aura is a magical thing, but it undeniably exists and greatly influences how others perceive you.

Although we don't know what he went through in the past six months, these two things alone are enough to show that he has undergone a complete transformation.

He seems to have grown taller; he used to be about the same height as his brother-in-law, Lin Guofeng, but now he's about four or five centimeters taller.

The key point is that Chen Jingle was wearing slippers.

Chen Ruoqi looked on in amazement, wondering how someone could still grow taller at 30 years old.

“I feel you’ve changed even more,” Chen Jingle said with a smile.

Back home, Chen Ruoqi was even more introverted than him. She had limited academic talent, preferred comfort, and couldn't endure hardship.

Such a personality might be acceptable in a reasonably well-off urban family, where parents would be much more tolerant.

It's a pity I was born in the countryside.

As everyone knows, children in rural areas are not allowed to be lazy, so much so that she was often scolded by her grandparents when she was young.

After she grew up a bit, with a face that was a 6 out of 10 even without makeup, she had no shortage of boys who liked her. Although her older sister kept an eye on her and she didn't dare to date during her school years, she still picked up a bit of princess syndrome.

He didn't get into university and started working early.

She's not particularly smart, even a bit dull, stubborn, and prone to getting stuck on details, but she's lucky; she succeeded in finding a partner on her first blind date.

They finally lived the life they had hoped for, a life where they didn't need to work hard or worry about suffering.

Judging from his words and actions now, he seems to have improved quite a bit.

Indeed, one's environment influences one's temperament, and one's upbringing influences one's physical condition.

"I think so myself."

Chen Ruoqi covered her mouth and chuckled: "Maybe it's because I'm about to become a mother. Many things that I couldn't understand before are now suddenly clear to me. It's quite amazing."

"How so?" Chen Jingle asked with interest.

Chen Ruoqi thought for a moment and said, "You know, I didn't get into university, and I've always felt that I don't have much talent for studying. But I've been pregnant for the past six months, and I've started reading when I'm bored. After reading a lot of books, I feel that I've gained a lot. Looking back, I realize that my perspective on problems was too narrow, which led me to make a lot of mistakes. It's true that people need to read more."

Chen Jingle nodded slightly: "Reading more books is not a bad thing. What books do you read?"

Chen Ruoqi was a little embarrassed: "I just read whatever I could find. Besides books on parenting for new mothers, there were also some on psychology and some on basic medicine."

"That's good, at least it's not some motivational self-help book." Chen Jing chuckled. He hadn't read much since graduation, though he'd read quite a few novels on Qidian, but those were just for passing the time.

Seeing Chen Ruoqi working so hard, I feel mostly gratified and moved.

People should always look forward.

……

Chen Ruoqi tilted her head, glanced at Lin Yuqing, and teased, "Your way of holding a child is more skilled than her parents'."

She was initially worried that she wouldn't be able to take good care of the baby after it was born, and wanted to learn from her older sister. However, when she glanced at Lin Guofeng and Chen Kexin, who were busy picking wampee fruit not far away, she couldn't help but laugh.

"There's nothing I can do, this little clingy thing just won't leave me alone." Chen Jingle shook his head.

Chen Ruoqi reached out and pinched Lin Yuqing's chubby little face, smiling: "You like sticking to your uncle that much?"

Lin Yuqing actually snorted and turned to throw herself into Chen Jingle's arms.

Chen Ruoqi laughed heartily.

Daughters are definitely better; they're so cute.

If I have a son who's as mischievous and naughty as Chen Wenjie from a young age, then I'm doomed.

"I never imagined that I would become a mother in the blink of an eye."

Chen Ruoqi rested her chin on her hand, sighed softly, and then smiled: "Besides, I'm considered one of the older ones. Some of my classmates who didn't get into university are already having three children."

No wonder people say that the college entrance examination is a major watershed moment in life.

Whether or not you get into university means you're embarking on different paths in life.

Fortunately, although she didn't get into university, her parents didn't force her to get married early, which is the most fortunate thing.

"When is your due date?" Chen Jingle asked curiously.

"End of July."

Chen Jingle exclaimed in surprise, "That will be soon!"

Chen Ruoqi stretched and put her hand on her stomach: "Sigh, I've worked so hard for so many months, let's hang in there a little longer."

"Do you know if it's a boy or a girl?" Chen Jingle asked.

Chen Ruoqi shook her head: "I don't know. Doctors won't tell you these days. It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter if it's a boy or a girl."

Indeed, things have reversed now; people tend to prefer daughters more. This is even in a less developed area like Jiangbei, where patriarchal ideas still linger.

Chen Ruoqi asked him, "You've been back for a month now, haven't you?"

"Hmm."

"Always at home?"

"Yes, I've tidied up the house a bit, planted some vegetables and fruit trees, and some flowers. I'll stay home for a while." Chen Jingle smiled slightly, neither confirming nor denying.

"Okay. I'll go back to work when I've had enough rest."

Chen Ruoqi nodded.

She prefers a peaceful life, unlike her grandparents who always work hard and don't allow themselves a moment's rest. Even in their eighties, they still get up early and work late every day.

There is more than one way to live life.

Chen Ruoqi suddenly asked with a smile, "Speaking of which, you're not young anymore, don't you have a girl you like?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Jingle looked somewhat helpless: "If it's not meant to be, what can I do?"

"You're not even going to work anymore, do you expect a beautiful girl to fall from the sky?" Chen Ruoqi laughed.

Chen Jingle was speechless, not knowing what to say.

Chen Ruoqi smiled and said, "Would you like me to introduce you to some people? There were a few single girls in my old office."
