Da Bao doesn't really like pork liver, but Xiao Bao does. He asked, "Little brother, do you want to eat pork liver?"
Xiao Bao looked at him, then at the pig liver, and finally nodded solemnly: "I want to eat it~"
When Chen Ermei heard him say he wanted some, she added some more pig liver to his bowl. Lately, she'd been braising all her offal.
Because at first she cooked pork offal by stir-frying it, but the taste was just so-so. Later she saw Xu Zhuang and the others say they braised it.
I asked them for some braising spices and tried to braise some myself. At first, the taste was actually quite average.
However, I don't know if it was because I braised too much food later, but the braising liquid became flavorful and the taste gradually improved.
It was only in the last few days, after Da Bao and Xiao Bao smelled the aroma, that they asked her for some to eat a few times.
The braised pork liver has almost no gamey smell and a more chewy texture, making it more fragrant than when boiled in soup or stir-fried.
As for pig stomach, it's actually a bit too tough for children. However, both my older and younger children eat it as a snack.
Once you put a piece in your mouth, you can chew it for a long time.
......
When Huang Qinqin and her group arrived at the hospital, there was no one in the obstetrics and gynecology department.
Huang Eryuan was relieved, because he was afraid that people would look at him strangely if there were many people around.
If the doctor hadn't remembered Huang Qinqin and Zhang Yumei, she would have almost thought they were there to cause trouble.
This was the first time she had ever seen a man accompany his wife to a prenatal checkup. Many people, let alone accompany their wives, are unwilling to even pay for the checkup.
After confirming that they were there for a prenatal checkup, the doctor calmly said, "Pregnant woman, please sit down. How many months pregnant are you?"
Zhang Yumei replied, "It's been more than three months. Last time the doctor said that it would be best to come back for a check-up when it's been three months."
"Okay, let me check on her first. How's her appetite usually? Does she experience morning sickness?"
The doctor gestured for Huang Qinqin to lie down, then took out a stethoscope and placed it on her stomach.
Zhang Yumei: "I didn't experience morning sickness, but my appetite was so-so. I ate even less than before after I got pregnant."
As the doctor listened, he frowned and then cautiously said, "I can hear two fetal heartbeats now, so I initially suspect they are twins."
"However, the pregnant woman's belly is too small, and it doesn't seem like a typical twin pregnancy. Should you get an ultrasound to confirm?"
The doctor listened several times and indeed heard two fetal heartbeats, but one of them was barely perceptible.
Moreover, Huang Qinqin's belly was too small. Normally, a three-month-old twin's belly wouldn't be this small, so the doctor wanted them to have an ultrasound.
Without a second thought, Zhang Yumei and Chen Zhaodi replied immediately, "Twins?! Doctor, we want to do it!"
Xu Junhui asked with concern, "Doctor, what is an ultrasound? Will it harm an adult?"
The doctor patiently explained, "It's not dangerous for adults. An ultrasound is similar to taking a picture, except that it shows the fetus inside the womb."
"You guys are lucky. This machine has only been at the hospital for a few months. In the past, if you wanted to have an ultrasound, you would have to go to the provincial hospital."
Xu Junhui was relieved to hear that there was no danger.
The doctor told them to pay first, because the ultrasound examination would be a bit expensive.
Huang Qinqin was surrounded by a group of people as she prepared to go for a check-up, but she had been somewhat dazed ever since she heard the doctor say that she was pregnant with twins.
She remembered in her dream that her first pregnancy was with a boy, and she only had one.
If she was pregnant with twins, and considering that her belly was still not showing, she had a bad feeling.
After a dazed and confused examination, wearing the ultrasound results, they went back to see the doctor.
The examination result was a black and white film, on which it was clearly visible that there were two babies in the womb.
However, one baby was the normal size, while the other was only half the size. It was heartbreaking to see.
When the doctor took the test results, he found that, sure enough, the difference in size between the two fetuses was too great, which caused the fetal heartbeat of one of the fetuses to be too weak.
Huang Qinqin asked worriedly, "Doctor, I saw a baby who is very small. Is there any danger?"
There are definitely risks, but there's no need to tell the pregnant woman that, so as not to make her worry too much.
The doctor reassured her, "It's alright, most twins have one baby that's a little bigger and the other a little smaller."
"Try to ensure you get enough nutrition during your pregnancy. If possible, drink more malted milk powder and eat more eggs or meat."
"Come back for a check-up in two months. But make sure you get enough nutrition. If you don't eat well yourself, it will be even harder for the baby to grow."
"Also, try not to get too emotionally agitated; extreme sadness or joy is not advisable. Family members should also pay more attention to the pregnant woman."
From the moment the doctor began speaking, Xu Junhui was completely focused on taking notes. As soon as the doctor finished, he was the first to react: "Thank you, doctor, we understand!"
When they came out of the hospital, Zhang Yumei, Chen Zhaodi, and Huang Eryuan were all all smiles.
Twins!
This means they can have two grandchildren/granddaughters at once! Imagine having a grandson on the left and a granddaughter on the right – how wonderful!
Xu Junhui felt a mix of joy and unease. He had often heard people say that a woman's pregnancy and childbirth were like walking through the gates of hell.
His wife is now pregnant with twins, and he doesn't know if it's dangerous.
However, on the other hand, he felt that he was really amazing!
After all, getting your wife pregnant with twins in one go is not something an ordinary person can do.
Hehe~
Thinking of this, Xu Junhui couldn't help but feel proud, but then he became worried, fearing that his wife would have to bear more pressure and risks because she was pregnant with twins.
Huang Qinqin was somewhat relieved that they had come to the hospital today, according to what the doctor had just said.
She guessed that her dream was probably due to her extreme emotional fluctuations, and also because the Xu family had already encountered trouble at that time in the dream.
Let alone meat, they couldn't even get enough whole grains to eat. So it's likely that the smaller baby didn't survive in the dream.
But things are different now; what's in a dream is just a dream.
From now on, she will definitely eat more, take care of her health, and ensure that both babies are safely brought into this world.
After leaving the hospital, Chen Zhaodi asked, "In-law, would you like to come to our house together?"
"We were just planning to go check out our new house today. If you come along, you can help us find our way."
"Shall we go?"
