Chapter 343: chapter 343

Since Ji Qingqing became pregnant, Aunt Pei had been cooking delicious dishes of various varieties for her.In the early stage of her pregnancy, Ji Qingqing had strong morning sickness, so the table was only filled with light food.However, she still vomited, especially when eating eggs. She could smell its fishy smell even from the living room as her sense of smell became extremely sensitive since becoming pregnant.After a few days, Ji Qingqing’s vomiting continued to worsen. It was like she was either in the bathroom or on the way to the bathroom all day long. She almost wanted to stay in there.Lu Lixing looked distressed but could only watch her helplessly. In the end, he invited a chef who specialized in cooking for pregnant women, which alleviated Ji Qingqing’s morning sickness a great deal.***It was August 3rd, a day before the start of filming.These days, Ji Qingqing had been thinking of countless ways to tell Grandpa Lu her decision to continue filming. She was unsure and dawdled as she was only able to muster up the courage to confess this matter to Grandpa Lu today.Grandpa Lu was watching the workers, who were hard at work in the baby room.A few days ago, Grandpa Lu’s nephew, who worked in a design institute, came to the house and changed the room next to Ji Qingqing and Lu Lixing into a baby room.The workers immediately started construction. After vacating the things in the room, they set up the crib and baby toys. The style of the whole room was very princessy due to the pink wallpaper.Ji Qingqing glanced at the room lightly as well as the toys that were piled up all over.“Grandpa, we still don’t know the baby’s gender.”Grandpa Lu smiled and said, “It doesn’t matter if it’s a boy, just change it again when the time comes.”Ji Qingqing stood beside him and didn’t dare to speak.The workers hurriedly sorted out the baby room. Grandpa Lu checked it again. After nodding his head in satisfaction, he looked back. Seeing that Ji Qingqing was still here, he asked strangely, “Qingqing, what’s the matter? Do you have something to tell Grandpa?”Ji Qingqing nodded repeatedly. “Something’s wrong.”“What’s the matter?”Ji Qingqing hesitated. “That… Before I got married, I participated in an audition for an urban TV series. The director thought I was quite suitable to be the female lead, so I signed the contract at that time.”Grandpa Lu looked at her quietly and listened to what she had to say.“The decided start of filming was in August. At that time, I didn’t know I was pregnant, so I promised that I would enter the crew on time…”Ji Qingqing glanced at Granda Lu in embarrassment.Grandpa Lu nodded his head. “You’ll start filming in August? What day?”“… August 4th.”Ji Qingqing was ready to be scolded. Who told her to procrastinate so much?“August 4th?” Grandpa Lu pondered. “Isn’t it tomorrow?”“Yes, it’s tomorrow.”“You kid, why didn’t you say it earlier? I could have asked Aunt Pei to prepare things for you earlier.”Grandpa Lu came out to the living room and shouted loudly, “Aunt Pei!”“What’s the matter, mister?”“She’s going to work on the film set tomorrow. Hurry up and help her collect her things and get ready.”After speaking, he turned his head and said softly to Ji Qingqing, “You can check it later to see if there’s still anything missing.”Ji Qingqing was ready to be scolded, but she hadn’t expected such a result.“Grandpa, don’t you… blame me?”“Why should I blame you?”“I’m pregnant, yet I still want to go out to work and run around.”Grandpa Lu lovingly smiled. “You’re an adult already. Grandpa believes that you have your own sense of measure. It’s good that you’re pregnant with a child, but Grandpa can’t force you to stay at home because of this.”“After the child is born, you’ll have to take care of the child because the child is still too young to be left alone.”“But Lixing didn’t agree before, worried that my work would affect our child.”“That’s because he doesn’t have experience in this, so he doesn’t understand. He’s thinking for your own good because he doesn’t want you to do anything that might hurt you, even if it’s only a slight possibility. But Grandpa has experienced it. ““When Grandpa worked before, there were many female employees in the company. After they got pregnant, they all worked until one month before giving birth. Very few chose to resign after being pregnant.”“Pregnancy isn’t a scary thing. If you have the confidence to take care of yourself and your children, then do it. Don’t tie your hands and feet because of your children.”Even though Grandpa Lu was old, he wasn’t pedantic. He knew to follow up on the trend and understand the ideas of the younger generation. He was very open-minded.“Grandpa…“ Ji Qingqing got teary-eyed. “Thank you.”“What’s the use of thanking Grandpa? You took this show by yourself. Now that you have signed the contract, you should fulfill your responsibilities. But you have to pay attention, I heard that there are occasional fans in the crew.”“In addition, there are many crew members. You have to take care of yourself all the time. If you have any discomfort in your body, you have to say it immediately. You shouldn’t hide it and carry it alone, got it?”Ji nodded softly and promised, “Well, don’t worry, I will!”After Grandpa Lu and Lu Lixing discussed the matter, Ji Qingqing took the company’s nanny van to the crew the next day and participated in the crew’s booting ceremony.Ji Qingqing knew that she was pregnant, so she meticulously prepared her needs along the way. The company sent five assistants to assist her, making her speechless.Director Ren knew that she was pregnant yet entered the group on time. After expressing his gratitude, he said that he would either change the two dangerous scenes in the script or use a stand-in.Ji Qingqing knew which two places Director Ren was talking about. One was a car chase and the other one was bungee jumping. These two plots weren’t really suitable in her current condition.After the start-up ceremony, the crew officially started work.
