Jiang Yunshu had just kicked out her fiancé who was cheating on her when her long-deceased grandparents appeared in her dream. Before leaving, they even gave her a mustard seed space obtained from...
He Baozhu's expression suddenly became serious: "Aunt Chen, this is not a joke."
Du Shouquan spoke up: "What Chen Fengying said is true. Shen Zhiqing is pregnant with six children. It was only recently discovered."
The noisy and laughing team members instantly quieted down. Wang Ernao still remembered the bloody scene of his wife giving birth. He asked in a trembling voice:
"Will Shen Zhiqing...get into trouble?"
Shen Zhiqing is the benefactor of their family, and he hopes that his benefactor will live a long life.
Du Shouquan was silent for a long time before he spoke: "I don't know, but this is Shen Zhiqing's choice. All we can do is support him and do our job well, trying not to cause trouble for Shen Zhiqing."
"I don't want Sister Shen to die..." A childish voice rang out, and the team members' eyes were red and they couldn't stop sobbing.
They thought so too.
"Pfft, pfft, pfft." Chen Fengying spat on the ground, put her hands on her waist and said with full energy: "Miss Chen is lucky and has a long life. She won't die."
It was like he was talking to himself, to make himself feel at ease, but it was also like he was talking to the team members present.
In the following days, a shadow shrouded the Red Flag Brigade, and everyone was depressed.
Because Shen Yunshu holds a very special place in their hearts, even Du Shouquan, the team leader, cannot replace Shen Yunshu.
If it were placed before, what Shen Yunshu did would be worth erecting a monument.
On the way home from training, Gu Jiuyan heard Jiang Chen's wife Liu Meiling talking about Shen Yunshu's return, and he rushed home without stopping.
Jiang Chen, who was left behind, teased, "Cold and unkind Old Gu has completely fallen for a woman."
"My sister-in-law is beautiful. If I were a man, I would fall for her too." Liu Meiling's tone was mixed with envy. After all, everyone wants a good-looking appearance.
"You are already a mother of several children now, so just give up on this idea and be a good wife of Jiang."
"Look at your behavior. I'm afraid you're not hungry. You don't need to eat dinner."
"Hungry, hungry, hungry, I'm almost starving to death. Wife, please feel sorry for your husband."
"You're such a smooth talker, I thought you weren't hungry."
The two of them went home talking and laughing. During dinner, Liu Meiling talked about Shen Yunshu's belly: "I see that my sister-in-law's belly doesn't look like a three-month pregnancy. Could it be that she is pregnant with twins?"
Jiang Chen's hand holding the chopsticks froze in mid-air. Thinking of Gu Jiuyan who had been in a bad mood recently, he sighed deeply.
Liu Meiling was a little dissatisfied: "Pregnancy is a good thing, why are you sighing?"
"What's in my sister-in-law's belly is not twins, but sextuplets." Old Gu told him this when he came back from the city two days ago.
Sextuplets is a life-threatening thing. Liu Meiling suddenly lost her appetite. "Pregnant with six babies at once, my sister-in-law's small body can't handle it. What did Captain Gu say?"
"My sister-in-law insisted, so..."
"So just go along with her wishes, isn't that ridiculous? Doesn't she want to die?"
Liu Meiling spoke so excitedly that Jiang Chen, who was sitting opposite her, suffered the consequences and his saliva sprayed all over his face.
"You know how much Lao Gu cares about her. This is what my sister-in-law thinks. She can't bear to leave the baby in her belly. We should look on the bright side."
Liu Meiling gradually calmed down: "Your relationship with Captain Gu is here. Tomorrow I will go to the supply and marketing cooperative, buy some things, and visit Gu's family. By the way, I will also check on my sister-in-law's situation."
"Wife, you are so kind. Being able to marry you is the blessing that I, Jiang Chen, have accumulated for several lifetimes."
"Since you know I'm a good person, be nice to me in the future and don't come to me every now and then to annoy me."
In front of Gu's house.
"It's so cold, why don't you stay inside? Why did you come out?" Gu Jiuyan naturally took Shen Yunshu's hand and walked into the house.
"My child and I miss you and want to see you soon."
Although the temperature was several degrees below zero, Gu Jiuyan felt extremely hot, and a thin layer of sweat appeared on the palm of his hand that was holding Shen Yunshu's small hand.
"Don't do this again. What if you and the baby get sick from the cold? You're pregnant now, so you have to be careful with everything..."
"Gu Jiuyan, you're so talkative now, even more talkative than our mom."
"Is there?"
"have."
"Blame me."
Grandma Gu made pork rib soup for Shen Yunshu today, and also made stir-fried carrots with lean meat and stir-fried cabbage with tofu. The staple food was white flour buns.
Shen Yunshu has been going to the toilet frequently recently. Even if she drinks a little bit of water, her bladder will feel like urinating. She has never been willing to hold her urine, but in a day, she has to go to the toilet more than ten times.
The "Pregnancy Handbook" says that this is a very normal pregnancy reaction, which may be accompanied by symptoms such as heartburn and constipation.
Chen Yunshu was afraid that drinking too much pork rib soup would cause him to have to go to the bathroom at night, so he picked out a few pieces of pork ribs and carrots and yams to eat, and gave the rest of the soup to Gu Jiuyan.
At night, Shen Yunshu sat on the edge of the bed, and Gu Jiuyan brought water to wash her feet.
Seeing that her toenails had grown long, Gu Jiuyan took out a pair of scissors and lowered his head to carefully cut Shen Yunshu's toenails. He was afraid of accidentally cutting her flesh, so he was extremely careful.
"Gu Jiuyan, you have six kids, and a total of 120 toenails and fingernails. You'll be tired in the future."
I'm afraid it will take a whole day just to cut my nails, and the feeling is so painful just thinking about it.
The expression on Gu Jiuyan's face was a little chafed, but it was only for a moment, and he soon returned to normal.
"It will be fine once you get used to it." He can't do it, and there is his father.
Before, his parents and grandparents were clamoring to hold the baby all day long. After the baby was born, they each got one and were allowed to hold it as much as they wanted.
Not long after Shen Yunshu lay down and fell asleep, she felt the urge to urinate. With the moonlight shining through the window, she glanced at Gu Jiuyan and tiptoed to lift the quilt.
She shivered from the cold. Life without air conditioning and heating was simply not a life for a human being.
But when he thought about how long it would take before he could enjoy such a life, Shen Yunshu's back teeth were almost broken by his grief and anger.
Gu Jiuyan heard the noise and immediately sat up: "Wife, what's wrong?"
"You continue sleeping, I'm going to the bathroom." Shen Yunshu said as he was about to get out of bed to put on his shoes, but Gu Jiuyan held down his shoulders and he couldn't move.
"It's cold outside, wait for me in bed."
When Gu Jiuyan came back, he had a small bucket in his hand that was almost as high as his knees, and a chair that was hollowed out in the middle.
Gu Jiuyan put the bucket under the chair.
Shen Yunshu immediately realized his behavior and was surprised: "Gu Jiuyan, did you do this?"
"Well, when you're older and it's inconvenient for you to squat while pregnant, this will be perfect for you."
Gu Jiuyan prepared it overnight the day before Shen Yunshu came back. He wanted to share some of the burden with her.
