Ding Guo was disgusted by a certain period novel she read. A character with her exact name and surname had a persona: a saintly female supporting character who would sacrifice everything for her fa...
Chapter 182182 (Catching Bugs) Ding Guo knew that she was pregnant with twins...
Pei Che struggled for a bit, but he forgot about his wife's extraordinary strength. He struggled in vain. It seemed as if his wife had nailed him to the kang, so he simply chose to submit.
After a not-so-exciting exercise, Ding Guo felt a little unsatisfied and glared at Pei Che in dissatisfaction. He was like an old ox pulling a broken cart, his attack speed was too slow.
Pei Che saw that his wife looked a little nervous and kept asking, "Wife, do you feel uncomfortable? Does your stomach hurt? I didn't use much force just now..."
Ding Guo rolled his eyes at him because he didn't put in enough effort.
But she also knew Pei Che's worries, and she would not joke about a man's worries, so she said, "I'm not feeling uncomfortable, I'm fine."
"I'm leaving early tomorrow morning. When I come back, let's go to the hospital for a check-up together." Pei Che felt very apologetic. He lowered his head and kissed Ding Guo's slightly sweaty forehead, and whispered.
Ding Guo didn't want him to go on the mission with such worries, so he reached out and hugged his neck, spraying his hot breath on the crook of his neck, and said softly: "I just went for a pregnancy test last week, and everything is really fine. And you didn't use much force just now, how could you hurt me?"
Pei Che's breathing suddenly became heavier: "Wife, it's really not possible now. When the baby is born and you recover, I will definitely serve you with all my strength."
He got off the kang and quietly added some hot water, wiped his wife's body, lay down again, and held her in his arms.
Ding Guo also found a comfortable position, lay down, smelled the man's scent, and fell asleep soon.
When Ding Guo opened his eyes the next morning, there was no one around him.
Ding Dayong was also very depressed. He thought his brother-in-law could stay for several days.
He woke up when he heard the noise in the morning and found that his brother-in-law had already prepared breakfast. He said goodbye to him in a low voice and left with his bag.
"Has your brother-in-law had breakfast?"
Although he knew Pei Che had left early in the morning, Ding Guo still felt empty inside and asked in a muffled voice.
Ding Dayong nodded: "I have eaten. My brother-in-law left after dinner."
Pei Che got up and steamed some thousand-layer cakes, cooked some rice and red date porridge, and stewed some potatoes and beans, which he kept warm on the stove.
After washing up, Ding Guo sat down to eat breakfast and rode his bike to work.
For several days in a row, Ding Guo was in a bad mood.
Even Ding Dayong noticed it.
"Sister, what happened to you these past two days?"
Ding Guo chewed an apple and said, "Do you think I should join the army?"
She found that she was a little too concerned about the recovery time for the college entrance examination, and always felt that a short one or two years was not worth the trouble.
If I go to join the army, I will have to leave to go to college after one or two years. It would be better for me to stay in Fengning and stay with the army for a few days during the New Year so that my husband and I can reunite.
But seeing how hard Pei Che tried to get close to her and accommodate her, even trying so hard to get a day or two of meeting time, Ding Guo felt a little guilty.
Ding Dayong scratched his head and said, "Sister, if you want to go, go! But my brother-in-law said that the conditions where they are stationed seem to be very difficult. I wonder if you can bear it in your current situation."
Less than half a month later, Pei Che came back on the eleventh day after he left.
"Guoguo, I can stay for two days this time. I'll leave on the bus the day after tomorrow at noon." Pei Che's tone was a little apologetic, but he was also happy because he could stay one day longer than last time. "I'll accompany you to do a prenatal check-up!"
Ding Guo followed his suggestion and went for a check-up.
This time the doctor examined her for a long time, and Ding Guo knew that the fact that she was pregnant with twins had to be officially announced by the doctor.
Sure enough, after repeated examinations, the doctor gave his own judgment: "Based on my experience, your wife may be pregnant with twins."
"Twins?" Pei Che was stunned.
Ding Guo's acting was also very good. She covered her mouth in surprise: "Twins? Doctor, are you saying that I am pregnant with two children?"
system:……
The doctor smiled and said, "My judgment should be correct. If you are worried, you can go to the First Hospital for another checkup."
Pei Che was still a little stunned.
Ding Guo also seemed to be still in shock.
The couple's dull expressions amused the doctor, who said, "Don't be nervous. Although it's twins, the pregnant woman is in very good health. Go back and rest, eat small meals frequently, and prevent the fetus from growing too large."
The doctor gave the couple a lot of precautions before they left the hospital.
After leaving the hospital, Ding Guo suddenly realized, "Although my mother doesn't look like a mother, she gave birth to three children, twice with twins. Is this condition hereditary?"
Pei Che didn't understand this, so he said, "I'll go back and ask..."
Ding Guo pulled him back with a smile and said, "I was just guessing. It doesn't matter whether it's true or not. Anyway, it's confirmed now that I'm pregnant with twins. From now on, you will be the father of two children, and I will be the mother of two children!"
Although Pei Che's heart softened, his brows knitted together, and his eyes were full of worry.
Having twins also means taking on double the risks.
Guoguo only has Dayong by his side. Although Taozi can also live in Zaohua Lane to take care of him, Taozi has no experience after all.
Pei Che said: "Wife, how about we ask someone to take care of you?"
Ding Guo said, "I just wanted to discuss something with you."
"What's up?"
Ding Guo stood on the steps at the hospital entrance, looked into Pei Che's eyes, and said, "I want to follow the army."
Pei Che was surprised for a moment, but immediately refused.
"You won't let me go?" Ding Guo stared at him in disbelief.
Pei Che smiled and scratched his wife's nose, saying, "It's not that I don't allow you to go, but you don't have to go with the army. I have applied to study at the military academy, and if nothing goes wrong, the result should be out next month. If the application is approved, I can come back to spend the New Year with you this year, and after the New Year, I will report directly to the military academy in the capital. Wife, why don't you transfer to the capital?"
He originally wanted to wait until the application results came out before telling his wife, but he didn't expect that his wife suddenly wanted to join the army.
Ding Guo was truly surprised, and then delighted: "You are going back to the capital next year?"
Pei Che smiled and said, "It's about right."
Even if the application was not approved, he didn't want Guoguo to join the army given her current situation. The conditions there were difficult, and his wife was pregnant with twins, so he didn't dare to take the risk.
Ding Guo nodded repeatedly: "Okay, then I will transfer to the capital and wait for you."
To go to the capital you must be accepted by a formal unit, otherwise your household registration will not be possible and food will become a problem.
After coming out of the post office, the couple went to the post office and called the old man.
Upon learning that Ding Guo was pregnant with twins, the old man was very happy and kept asking about her physical condition and test results.
"Grandpa, everything is fine." Pei Che told Ding Guo that he wanted to be transferred to the capital for work. The old man immediately said on the phone that he would make the arrangements and asked Ding Guo to wait for a call.
Ding Guo quickly leaned over to the microphone and added, "Grandpa, as long as you're a formal employee, any unit and any position will do."
The main purpose is to move the household registration there.
She was worried that the old man was afraid of wronging her, so he arranged a position for her that was too good and would easily cause trouble.
Now that I was at the post office, I finished talking to the old man and then called my parents-in-law to tell them.
She also specifically told her mother-in-law not to send anything here for the time being, as she was planning to transfer to the capital.
After the call, on the way back to Zaohua Lane, Pei Che asked her about her work arrangements.
"I'll find Taozi first and ask her if she wants it. I'll ask her to contact Second Aunt to discuss it. If her family wants it, I'll sell it to the Second Wife."
If Second Aunt has no plans, just ask other colleagues in the workshop. Who doesn’t have a relative who’s in a hurry to arrange a job?
Ding Guo poked the man's waist and said, "Call grandpa tomorrow and don't let him arrange a job for me that's too glamorous. As long as I can move my household registration there, I'll be fine even if it means just being the gatekeeper."
If she wasn't pregnant, she would have said she would be able to "carry the heavy bag".
Although she is now fully capable of carrying heavy bags.
Pei Che felt warm in his heart. How could his wife be so sensible?
Because he knew that his wife was pregnant with twins, no matter how his wife teased him at night, he felt uncomfortable and refused to plow the land.
"Wife, bear with me for a while. After you give birth, I will serve you every day in different ways."
Ding Guo became interested: "Fancy tricks? You can do fancy tricks? Who did you learn from? Come on, show me, let me see how many fancy tricks you have."
Pei Che: ...
That's how he described it.
But the daughter-in-law started to play tricks.
"You look so miserable. Don't hold it in any longer. I plan to use it for the rest of my life. Let me help you..."
Pei Che's eyes turned red from holding back, and his voice became hoarse: "How can I help?"
Ding Guo rolled up his non-existent sleeves and said, "Manual transmission!"
Pei Che: ...
The young couple finally got together. Pei Che's movements were gentle and not intense, but they lasted for a long time. Ding Guo barely ate half full and fell into a deep sleep.
The next day, Pei Che cooked a table of dishes at home and invited Yue Kang and Xiao Hong to dinner.
The main purpose is to invite Yue Kang. Last time, I asked him to help collect tickets and buy things. It's rare for him to come back, so I have to show my appreciation.
Xiao Hong attended the event as Yue Kang's girlfriend.
The next morning Pei Che left and returned to the army.
Ding Guo went to the paper mill at noon and told Ding Tao about going to the capital. Finally, he asked, "Will your family buy my position?"
She approved of Ding Tao, but not her second aunt, so she would not give the job away directly. However, for Ding Tao's sake, she would sell it to the second wife at a price lower than the market price.
"Five hundred. Ask Second Aunt. If you plan to buy it, I'll raise the money and mail it to you. If you don't plan to buy it, I'll sell it to a colleague in the workshop."
Ding Tao was stunned by the news. It took her a while to come back to her senses. She said excitedly, "Buy it, sister. Let's buy it!"
Five hundred yuan, this price is too cheap. Even if the first year's salary is a little lower, it will be recovered in two years. Moreover, this is a lifelong iron rice bowl, and it can be passed down from generation to generation.
Even if she doesn't do it in the future, she can give it to her second sister and let her come to work.
After dinner, Ding Tao ran to the post office, sent a telegram to her mother, and arranged a time to call her.
I spent a few more dollars to specifically tell her mother not to call the factory, but to wait at the post office at the agreed time while she called.
The next night, Ding Tao came home to find Ding Guo. Her face flushed with excitement: "Sister, my mother said she will raise money and send it over as soon as possible."
In fact, her mother told her on the phone to ask Ding Guo if she could owe the money first and pay it back slowly with her salary in the future, but Ding Tao refused to do so.
"Mom, the friendship between me and sister Ding Guo is not as strong as that between me and Dayong. Please don't destroy even this little friendship. If you want to buy it, then we should pay honestly. If you don't want to buy it, I will tell my sister right away and ask her to transfer it to someone else..."
Huang Meihua was furious: "Which side are you from?"
"Of course I'm on mom's side, but do you think our reputation with sister Ding Guo is enough to get a worker quota for nothing?" Ding Tao coaxed Huang Meihua with a smile, saying, "Mom, whether our family can produce a formal worker depends on your decision."
In the little over a year that she has been in the city, she has gained a lot of experience, learned the ways of the world, and has changed a lot.
Huang Meihua thought of the sensation caused by Ding Dayong's return to register his household registration, and her heart warmed up. She gritted her teeth and said, "I'll buy it, but my family can't afford so much at once. I have to borrow it. I'll call you when I get it together."
Ding Guo was not in a hurry. She said it in advance to give the second house time to prepare.
A few days later, the old man called.
"Guoguo, one of the two is a job as a warehouse registrar at a flour mill; the other is a job at Xinhua Bookstore; and the other is a job as an accountant in the army cafeteria here. Which one do you want to do?"
Ding Guo knew that the Pei family had extensive connections, but when they immediately offered her three permanent job positions to choose from, she couldn't help but sigh at their power.
This is because she wants to keep a low profile. She thinks that if she doesn't want to keep a low profile, the old man can arrange a better unit and position for her.
"Grandpa, I want to go to Xinhua Bookstore. But I have to wait a few more days. I will arrange my work here and then go over to register for employment."
Mr. Pei: "I'll have them send you a job offer letter first, so it won't affect your arrangements."
"Okay, thank you Grandpa!"
"Family members don't say such polite words."
When the recruitment letter from the Xinhua Bookstore in the capital was sent, Ding Tao not only received the money her mother sent, but also picked up her father and second sister Zhaodi from the station.
The reason I didn't bring it with me was because I was afraid it was unsafe, so I decided to send it by mail and remitted an extra fifty yuan.
Zhaodi came here to take the job at Dingtao Paper Mill.
Ding Tao knew that such an opportunity was rare, so she gave some gifts to her leader and did not ask the factory to take back the job. Instead, she let Zhaodi take over. She could work as long as she could. Even if not for long, it would be good for her to come to the city to broaden her horizons.
During this period, Ding Guo had already greeted the leaders of the food factory.
The factory was naturally reluctant to let her go, but when they learned that Ding Guo was pregnant with twins, her in-laws were in the capital, her husband was serving in the army in the south, and she had no one to take care of her, they had to let her go with regret.
Ding Guo didn't just walk away. She contributed two dessert recipes: red date and yam cake and bursting croissant, and asked the leader to take care of Ding Tao.
Ding Tao quickly completed the handover procedures for Zhaodi and went to the food factory to go through the entry procedures.
After that, she will also go home to transfer her household registration.
Second Uncle and Zhaodi did not live in the steel plant's staff quarters this time. It happened that Third Aunt asked Second Uncle to bring Ding Guo some newly harvested corn, so Ding Guo directly asked Taozi to take the grandfather and son to Zaohua Lane.
Ding Zhige sent Zhaodi, who had never been far away, over here, and also went back to his hometown with his eldest daughter.
Ding Guo is about to move to the capital, and the yard in Zaohua Lane will be left for the sisters Dayong and Ding Tao to live in.
It’s not free living, three siblings share the rent.
It was Ding Dayong who said this, and of course he would not let his sister say such things.
The rent of a house was not expensive for three people to share, so Ding Tao readily agreed.
Although living in the old man's house is free, the atmosphere in that house is too depressing. The second sister should not bother to look at the faces of the fifth child and the sixth child who occasionally goes back.
Besides, there is a cousin's wife who dislikes them.
So although Huang Meihua felt a little sorry for the rent and couldn't help but nag Ding Dayong about the rent, she didn't stop him.
Yue Hongmei had divorced her uncle, so he could no longer be responsible for the bills between her and Yue Hongmei, and she had to take care of the second daughter's food and lodging. As a person who loves to take advantage, she had a guilty conscience, so she just rented the house. Taozi said that the rent Ding Guo calculated for them was much cheaper than the market price, and it was only five yuan a month.
Since Ding Dayong occupied the room alone, he contributed two dollars, and Ding Tao and Ding Zhaodi each contributed one dollar and fifty cents.
"It's also three dollars a month for two people. Don't you think your sister can give a little more?" Huang Meihua said to Ding Tao who came back to register her household registration.
Ding Tao rolled her eyes and said, "Mom, is it reasonable for us to live in such a big yard for free?" She coaxed Huang Meihua, "When I have experience in the factory, I can apply for a dormitory. Living with my sister is just a temporary stay."
Having said that, she knew how difficult it was to apply for a dormitory, but she was just trying to shut her mother up. She would talk about it later.
After Ding Dayong changed his household registration, the Ding family had a new worker.
There was another stir in the village.
Because of what happened last time, no one was sure of blaming Ding Zhigang anymore.
Huang Meihua did not hide it, but she did not mention the purchase of a job. Buying a job could not be discussed openly, so she borrowed part of the money from the third brother's family, who would definitely not tell anyone about such a thing.
"My eldest niece is pregnant with twins, and her father-in-law arranged a job for her in the capital, so my son Taozi took over."
This sentence conveys three meanings: one is that Ding Guo is pregnant with twins, two is that Ding Guo is going to the capital to work as a worker, and three is the strength of Ding Guo's in-laws' family.
In the capital, a job can be arranged just by saying so. If that doesn’t mean you have to have the ability, then what is that?
The work was arranged in a grand manner.
Ding Zhigang was the last one to know.
Ding Tao only said that she was going back to her hometown, but didn't say what she was going to do.
After she came back with her household registration and settled firmly at Fengning Food Factory, she returned to the staff quarters as if nothing had happened: "Uncle, I'm going to replace my sister and work at the food factory as a formal employee. I'll move out tomorrow!"
Ding Zhigang: …
Lu Xiaomei and Ding Jianguo, who came back with their children to eat, were also stunned.
