The protection of pregnant women in the 19th century was certainly not as comprehensive as in the 21st century.

At this time, New York, as the most advanced city in the United States and even in the world, did not even have a special infant hospital in the whole city, and tens of thousands of accidents caused by the birth of babies in the United States every year, hundreds of babies died almost every day.

This is not an exaggeration, this is an era of extremely backward medical standards, a large-scale cold, it is possible to take tens of thousands of lives, and a woman's childbirth is a ghost gate, a slight carelessness is a corpse and two lives.

Of course, this is almost impossible to happen to Chu Xue, Li Mu has the conditions to hire the best family doctor in the United States and even the world, and in Governors Island, there is now a standing medical team to ensure Chu Xue's health.

Treat pregnant women, the traditional customs of the East and the West are still a little different, the Oriental people have always regarded the inheritance as a major event, so the world is big, the pregnant woman is the largest, the East has a unique set of methods, used to ensure the health of pregnant women before childbirth and postpartum recovery, the West has not yet appeared a whole set of theories in this regard, but in general the methods of the East are not very recognized.

Because of the existence of Yan's mother, Chu Xue's way of giving birth is completely in accordance with the oriental tradition, not only Chu Xue's medical team has no say in this regard, but Li Mu himself is speechless.

"Keep the room well ventilated, breathe more fresh air, do moderate activities, eat small meals often..."Li Mu's understanding of pregnant women is limited to this, and it still depends more on Yan's mother's experience.

The weather in August is still hot, although Governors Island is surrounded by water, it feels much more comfortable than in New York City, but because of Yan's mother's insistence, the first snow is still early to live the "confinement", in the traditional habits of the East, women are taboo a lot when they are confined, what can not be affected by the wind, can not catch a cold, can not be tired, can not be angry, etc., in Yan's mother, all this is strictly enforced, so although the main building room where the first snow lives is very transparent, but the balcony and windows are closed, to prevent all air flow possible.

Of course, the traditional culture can not be completely denied, according to the point of view of criticism and absorption, the essence of the part should be retained, as for the dross, forget it, in the traditional culture of the East, the protection of pregnant women, some of them still make sense, it is better not to catch a cold, not to be too tired, etc., but no matter what is too much, once it is absolute, it will be a dead end, at least Li Mu believes that proper ventilation is still very necessary.

"I feel good now, and I don't want to be bored at home all the time, there is a lot of work backlog in the office..."Chu Xue is still thinking about her work, and she doesn't want to be protected now.

After staying in the United States for a long time, it seems that Chuxue is also resistant to some things in traditional culture, but unlike most women who are completely free in the 21st century, Chuxue still retains the best qualities of oriental women, such as housekeeping, which Chuxue does very well.

Chu Xue's serious job is Li Mu's personal assistant, and at the same time Li Mu's financial officer, although this position is different from the financial director of the Junma Group, but the weight is not bad at all, in the headquarters of the Battery Park Junma Group, there is a whole floor belongs to the financial department led by Chu Xue, and the entire department is composed of more than 50 people, responsible for taking care of Li Mu's private property of more than 200 million US dollars.

This private property and the assets of the Junma Group are two different things, and the Junma Group is now nominally not owned by Li Mu himself, so Li Mu's private property and the assets of the Junma Group are independent of each other and cannot be confused, and the main task of Li Mu's private financial management team is to find investment channels for Li Mu's private funds, including Li Mu's shares in Carnegie-Rim Steel, Mobil Oil, Panama Canal Company, Panama Company, and even Colombian Investment Company, all of which belong to this team.

Hatsuyuki has not been to the headquarters of the Stallion Group since Hatsuyuki confirmed her pregnancy, and Hatsuyuki has taken over the work by her deputy, White Leitner.

White Leitner is a top graduate of Harvard University, before joining Li Mu's private financial team, he worked at the State Bank of New York, after the outbreak of the economic crisis three years ago, the State Bank of New York underwent personnel changes, White Leitner then transferred to the Horse Group, joined Li Mu's private financial team.

"You don't have to worry about things at work, White is doing a good job, I'm going to let him be in charge of the financial work in the future, from now on, you will not be able to return to work in 2 to 3 years, so you can rest assured that you will raise the baby, don't think too much." Li Mu actually hasn't finished speaking, before Chu Xue's children become adults, probably Chu Xue won't even want to come out to work.

It is not easy to take care of children, Li Mu was an orphan in his last life, and he is also an orphan in this life, and he has never felt the warmth of the family, so he doesn't want to leave any regrets for his children.

In the process of children's growth, the companionship of parents is indispensable, in the 21st century, many people use the excuse of "forced by life" to simplify or omit this process, when the child is young, let both parents help bring, and send it to kindergarten when he grows up, the only role of parents is to promote the emergence of children, and then try their best to create a better future for children.

In fact, shouldn't this "future" be created by the children themselves? Compared with the abundant material conditions, Li Mu pays more attention to the multiple needs of children's physical and mental health, among which the companionship of parents is indispensable, many people often complain that their children are not close to themselves, in fact, this should be more from adults to find reasons, don't complain that children do not understand themselves, because adults do not understand the real needs of children.

One thing is for sure, Li Mu will never fake his hands on the issue of children's education, even if Yan's mother and Yan's father also like children from the bottom of their hearts, Li Mu will not completely let go, no one can replace the status of parents in the hearts of children, not only Chuxue, in the future, Gloria will have a child, Li Mu will also let Gloria leave her work and take care of the child at home wholeheartedly.

This sounds a little unfair, but in fact it is the fairest thing, Li Mu has always believed that raising a family is a man's responsibility, and a woman's vocation is to teach her husband and children, as for her career, it should never be the focus of a woman's life.

"Hmm-" Chu Xue still hasn't understood Li Mu's true thoughts, but this doesn't prevent Chu Xue from obeying Li Mu's arrangement, although all the people who have dealt with Chu Xue recognize Chu Xue's ability to work, but it is obvious that in this male-dominated "patriarchal society", Chu Xue does not have the idea of becoming an "Iron Lady".

Seeing Li Mu come back, Yan's mother went back to her room with great eyesight, and did not come out to be an eyesore, so Li Mu accompanied Chu Xue to take a walk on the grass downstairs, which was also a rare relaxation for Chu Xue.

The lawn downstairs has a special person responsible for maintenance, the green eyes look very comfortable, stepping on it is like being in the clouds, with an invincible sense of feet, there are irregular pebble paved paths in the lawn, of course, the first snow can not walk on the cobblestones, so Li Mu and the first snow went downstairs for a while, and came to the swing on the lawn to sit down, Li Mu is responsible for swinging, and the first snow is only responsible for being happy.

Pan was the only dog in the entire Governor's Island who had the right to enter and leave the main house at will, and Pan was also very attached to Li Mu, so he lay down at Li Mu's feet, found a comfortable position and began to sleep.

Chu Xue didn't listen to Yan Mu's instructions to stay away from Pan, took off her shoes, and used her feet to help Pan massage her abdomen.

"Pan is very obedient, once Pan went upstairs and wanted to go to my room, but was reprimanded by his mother, since then Pan only went to the staircase every time, never went upstairs, as soon as I came out, Pan followed me, like a loyal bodyguard - "Chu Xue likes animals very much, whether they are big or small, they like it very much, there are several girls in the family, Gloria is busy with work and is not at home all day, Sandy was recently driven to study at Springfield Institute of Technology by Will, and Chu Xue became Pan's best friend.

Speaking of Sandy, after Li Mu and Gloria got engaged, Will didn't know for what reason, so he sent Sandy to the Springfield Institute of Technology School of Medicine to study, and didn't let Sandy hang around Li Mu and Gloria all day long.

Springfield Institute of Technology is now the largest senior institution in the United States, with nine departments, more than 100 classes, and nearly 4,000 teachers and students.

It is worth mentioning that among the nearly 4,000 students, the proportion of Chinese accounts for more than 60 percent, and the proportion of Chinese accounts for more than 90 percent of the Junma Affiliated School, which is not Li Mu finally opened his mouth in education, but the current Junma Affiliated School has not yet had so many graduates, as long as the Chinese students who are qualified for higher education, they are already studying at Springfield Institute of Technology, and so on in two or three years, The proportion of Chinese students in Springfield Institute of Technology will also exceed 90 percent, and in another 20 years, Chinese will account for a considerable proportion of the people engaged in high-class occupations in the United States, and then it will be the time for Li Mu to reap the fruits, and the social status of the Chinese will gradually improve as the students enter the society.

In the United States, although the concept of "equality for all" is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, in fact, inequality between various races still exists, look at the relationship between the United States and Israel in the future, it is by no means just "an ordinary ally" as simple, it is not too much to say that it is "father", as for the reason, just look at the proportion of Jews in the American high society, think about Trump's daughter Ivanka, in order to marry a Jew, even took two years to change her faith, if you explain all this with love alone, it still seems a bit thin.

For many Orientals, it is worth it to give everything for love, but this is not the case for Westerners, who do not understand Westerners' dedication to faith, so changing their beliefs is an incredible thing for Westerners, and its severity is no less than that of a Chinese naturalized in Japan.

cough - in fact, there are many Chinese naturalized in Japan, and it is still the same sentence, there are all kinds of birds when the forest is big.

"It's okay, you just need to be careful not to make direct contact-" Li Mu remembered the taboo of pregnant women raising dogs, and just wanted to popularize science, but after thinking about it for a moment, there was no need for this at all.

There is no basis for the so-called that pregnant women cannot have dogs, the effect of dogs on pregnant women is toxoplasmosis, this parasite is transmitted through the feces of pets, as long as pregnant women pay attention not to clean pet feces, it does not matter.

Chu Xue naturally has no chance to come into contact with Pan's feces, in Governors Island, there are people who are responsible for taking care of the pet's food, clothing, housing and transportation, Chu Xue's only task is to play with Pan for a while if he has time, so there is no need to worry about this at all.

After walking with Chu Xue, Li Mu returned to his office and saw Henry, who had been waiting for a long time.

"Why don't you remind me?" Li Mu felt a little guilty, he shouldn't have made Henry wait so long.

As the general manager of Junma Group, Henry's time is also very precious, Henry's assistant team is not smaller than Li Mu's assistant team, or even larger, which is related to the nature of Henry's work, after all, for the current Junma Group, Li Mu is only responsible for the decision on the direction of business, and the specific implementation depends on Henry's implementation.

"It's rare for you to leave work early, I'm going to leave some private space for you—" Henry was very understanding, took off his glasses on the bridge of his nose, waved his assistant to leave with his papers, and leaned back in his chair with a tired expression.

"How do I feel that you are getting harder and harder, is there too few deputy general managers for you?" Li Mu is still very humane and cares about Henry's health.

You must be concerned, for the current Junma Group, Henry's importance must be greater than Li Mu's, if Henry is tired, then Li Mu will be responsible for all the work, and Li Mu will not be able to live a day like that.

"It's enough, it's just that as the ZAMA Group gets bigger and bigger, there's more and more work, but it's okay, I'm enjoying it." Henry rubbed his sour eyes and pulled himself together.

At the end of last year, Li Mu gave Henry a part of the shares of the Horse Group, so now Henry is also a shareholder of the Horse Group, in order to make his shares more and more valuable, Henry is also fighting, the Horse Group has a boss like Li Mu is enough to slack, Henry does not give himself the opportunity to slack.

"Okay, what's going on this time?" Li Mu knew that unless there was a big problem that endangered the operation of the Junma Group, Henry would come to Li Mu.

"It's not a big deal, Washington recently issued a decree requiring all businesses to file taxes based on their income, and I don't think it's clear on the phone, so I'll talk to you in person." Henry's expression was not serious, and it didn't seem to raise the matter to a level of seriousness.

Filing taxes is no small thing in the United States.
