Before the New Year holiday, Su Tiantian was tricked into returning home by a 200,000 yuan promise. The village distributing land money was real, but the desire to trick her into coming home early ...
Liu Jingze asked attentively, "Father-in-law, would you like some wine? Dad's friend sent some rice wine a couple of days ago. It's quite good."
Su Jinyuan waved his hand and said, "No, I'm busy lately and don't drink." Then he looked at Su Tiantian and asked with concern, "Tiantian, do you have a poor appetite?"
Su Tiantian didn't try to hide her emotions in front of her father. She said aggrievedly, "I went for a prenatal checkup this morning. The babies wouldn't cooperate, so the doctor told me to eat more and walk up the stairs more. I ended up walking up a lot of stairs and eating a lot of food. I didn't feel like eating lunch, so now I just want to eat something light."
Liu Jingze said: "It was indeed hard for Tiantian today. It was really hard for her to walk like this while pregnant."
Su Jinyuan said, "Your uncle sent sauerkraut, your third aunt sent eggs and goose eggs, your third brother sent pork feet and ginger, and your eldest sister-in-law sent cured duck and bird's nest. They said you might like them. There are also some freshly picked vegetables. I saw Zhihao got off work, so I quickly asked him to drive them over. Tell me what you want to eat, and we'll find a way."
Liu Liangjie said: "You are all thoughtful. Before cooking, I also asked Tiantian what she wanted to eat. Anyway, we tried our best to make it what she wanted to eat."
"Ginger pork trotter?" Su Tiantian's eyes lit up.
Liu Jingze said, "I just put it in the refrigerator. I asked Sister Lan to heat it up and we can eat it soon."
Su Tiantian pressed Liu Jingze's hand and said, "Brother Jing, no need. These dishes are enough. I'm not too hungry now. I'll eat in the evening."
Granny Lu said with a bit of annoyance, "We were negligent. We should have cooked some pork trotters with ginger. Although it's a bit nourishing and can easily cause internal heat, it's not a problem to have one or two meals. I remember when Tiantian was little, she could eat a whole bowl of rice just with the vinegar from the pork trotters and ginger."
Su Zhihao nodded: "Yes, my sister likes to pour vinegar when eating."
Liu Jingze said: "She also likes to eat eggs in pig's feet and ginger."
In fact, Su Tiantian prefers to eat the pig's trotter in the pig's trotter ginger, but she was poor at that time and had few opportunities to eat pig's trotters throughout the year.
Liu Liangjie said, "I'll buy some ingredients to cook tomorrow. Jinyuan, I'll cook more and have someone send it to your house tomorrow."
Su Jinyuan didn't refuse: "Thank you, Brother Liang. Yimei and A Ling also like it."
Liu Zhaosheng asked with some confusion: "I remember eating pig's feet with ginger only during confinement, right?"
Liu Liangjie said: "Brother Zhao, times have changed. In the past, when we were poor, we might not even have pig's feet and ginger to eat during the confinement period. Now we can eat pig's feet and ginger anytime. Some people even cook them and sell them, and business is pretty good."
Grandma Lu said, "Yes, some people now buy the pork trotters and ginger they use during confinement instead of cooking them at home."
Su Jinyuan said, "I think it's better to cook it yourself. Use a clay pot, it has the original flavor, the right ingredients, and the right heat. The pork trotter and ginger that Tiantian's third brother sent me was cooked at home. Not only did they add eggs, pork trotters, but they also added chicken feet. Tiantian's third aunt said she planted two mu of ginger and is waiting for Tiantian to use during her confinement period."
Grandma Lu was delighted: "Tiantian's third brother is Su Zhibiao, right? Zhibiao is thoughtful, and Tiantian's third aunt is also thoughtful. That's great. They grow local ginger themselves. Great, we can cook more pork trotters with ginger later." These are not expensive things, but this thoughtfulness is indeed rare.
Liu Liangjie said proudly: "I also planted it, on the farm, on three acres of land."
Su Jinyuan said, "Brother Liang is really smart. I wanted to plant some, but there's not much land in the small vegetable garden. Brother Zeyuan also planted some ginger and said he didn't know which of Tiantian and Zhibiao's wives would give birth soon."
Su Tiantian said, "It's really hard to say. My third sister-in-law got pregnant a month later than me, but I'm pregnant with twins, so I might give birth prematurely. Dad, let me tell you, I'm going to the prenatal checkup today. There are pictures of the baby you can see. I'll show them to you later."
Su Zhihao said excitedly, "I heard that some people can tell whether a baby is a boy or a girl by looking at a four-dimensional color Doppler ultrasound?"
Liu Jingze said: "We didn't ask the doctor about this. It doesn't matter whether it's a boy or a girl. We just hope it won't be too early."
Grandma Lu said, "Yes, it doesn't matter whether it's a boy or a girl, as long as they're safe and healthy. But looking at the photos, the babies are so cute, they look like Jingze and Tiantian."
Even if it is just a photo on the ultrasound report, the old man is very excited.
Su Jinyuan said, "Back in our time, there weren't any prenatal checkups. We just went to the hospital once when we gave birth. Yimei gave birth to Tiantian in the hospital, but she didn't even go to the hospital when she gave birth to Zhihao. It's only now that medicine is so advanced that I feel much more at ease after having a prenatal checkup."
Liu Liangjie said: "In short, listen to the doctor's advice and go for prenatal checkups on time. Don't save this little money."
Liu Jingze said, "The doctor said today that if you feel unwell, you should come to the hospital at any time, even in the middle of the night, and be cautious. I think she's right, Tiantian. If you feel unwell, tell me. Don't be afraid of the trouble."
Su Tiantian said, "I know. Don't worry. Mrs. Lai told me not to be alone. She had stomach pains in the middle of the night a few days ago and went to the hospital. It was a false alarm. She's almost eight months pregnant, and the doctor told her to go to the hospital if she feels unwell."
Granny Lu said a little worriedly, "What if Tiantian feels unwell while at work?"
Su Tiantian said, "Grandma, don't worry. I usually keep my office door open, and my colleagues come in to see me every once in a while. There are several people in the Finance Department who have given birth and are very concerned about me. Brother Jing even treated them to a meal."
Liu Jingze really put a lot of thought into Su Tiantian and built good relationships with her superiors and colleagues.
Liu Zhaosheng said, "Aunt, you really don't have to worry. Tiantian is fine at the company, there are many people around, people to chat with her, and time flies when she has work. If she doesn't work, she will be bored at home."
