Deng Qingling, a recent college graduate, struggled to find work due to the pandemic, so she returned to her hometown. Her grandmother, who passed away from illness, left her a silver bracelet.
...Deng Qingling was seen leaning against the wall and vomiting violently, her face pale. Everything she had just eaten in the morning turned into garbage on the ground.
Guo Jianping quickly ran over to pat her on the back and said, "Are you okay? Let's go back."
Deng Qingling had vomited so much that she didn't want to talk anymore, so she just nodded.
Watching the two walk away, the uncle who was still there looked at the garbage she vomited out and felt a little sorry. It was all his fault that he forgot that Jianping's wife was pregnant and still picked up this dirty thing to greet others. What kind of thing is this! Alas!
The uncle sighed repeatedly.
…
Back home, Guo Jianping helped Deng Qingling sit down. "How are you feeling now? How about some pickled cabbage to calm you down?"
"I don't want to eat. I'm so tired! I want to go back to my room and rest for a while." Deng Qingling felt that everything she smelled now had that smell, it was so stinky that she wanted to go back to her space to clean up.
"Okay, go and rest."
While Deng Qingling was resting, Guo Jianping went to prepare lunch.
At lunch, Guo Jianping saw that Deng Qingling looked uninterested and felt a little worried, so he picked up some kimchi he made for her.
"Try it and see if it tastes good?"
"It's okay, you guys eat! Stop looking at me." Deng Qingling felt a little uncomfortable seeing them all looking at her while she was eating.
"oh oh"
"Okay, let's eat."
"After dinner, I will go back to the county to work. My parents and A-qing will depend on you to take care of them. I won't be back until the Chinese New Year next time. You can write to me if you have any questions." Guo Jianping made his plans clear to his family.
I also want to spend more time with my family, but after the child is born, it will cost a lot of money, and I have to work hard to earn money to give my family a better life.
Liang Xueying: "Don't worry about your work, Mom will take good care of A-Qing"
Guo Jianping: "Okay, don't be reluctant to eat the things I bought. Just buy more after you finish eating them." Parents have worked hard for most of their lives and are reluctant to eat or wear anything. They want to leave everything to their children.
After lunch, Guo Youxing drove a bullock cart to take his son to the town to catch a bus.
Liang Xueying and Deng Qingling stood at the door, watching their son's back as he walked away, their faces full of worry and reluctance.
A mother worries about her son even when he is far away. Although he lives in a county town, many people have never been to the county town, such a faraway place, until they grow old.
…
As time passed, Deng Qingling's morning sickness finally became lighter. During this period, everyone asked around for advice on how to stop vomiting. They found a bunch of methods, such as eating ginger, chili peppers, sauerkraut, and dried apricots. They tried everything.
Fortunately, it worked and the nausea and vomiting gradually stopped, but Deng Qingling's appetite was unpredictable.
She likes spicy food today, so she cooked some cabbage and put a dozen chili peppers in it. Others were almost crying because of the spiciness, but she said that this was the only way to enjoy it.
Tomorrow I like to eat sour food, so I didn’t even wash the sauerkraut. I said I like the taste, the original flavor. The taste is so hard to describe!
When you have a good appetite, you may feel hungry soon after putting down the bowl. This is not an exaggeration. Pregnant women need more energy, and the fetus needs to obtain nutrients from the mother, so pregnant women are prone to hunger.
Although her appetite has increased, Deng Qingling's figure has not changed much. People who don't know her might think she is not pregnant because her belly cannot be seen for three or four months.
During the pregnancy, Deng Qingling seldom engaged in speculation. After all, there was a long way to go, money could be made endlessly, and health was important.
Time passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye it was mid-December, and Guo Jianjun and Guo Yu went home for winter vacation.
Soon Guo Jianping also went home for vacation.
As the Spring Festival approaches, the festive atmosphere becomes stronger and stronger.
