Chapter 142 Pregnant?
Rutang was just thinking about the shrimp circle matter in her mind. She was not familiar with Jingtian, so it was impossible for her to go to him and talk about it.
He just felt that Jingtian, as a young entrepreneur, was not tactful enough in doing things and did not consider all aspects carefully. He was afraid that he would suffer in the long run. So he took the opportunity to say a few words to Yu Yaoyang, using Jingtian as a mirror and as a negative example.
When Yu Yaoyang heard his wife comparing Jingtian to him, he couldn't help but feel a little jealous, but when he thought that the guy was a negative example, he felt more balanced.
Gui Ning would soon take the high school entrance exam, so Ru Tang specially set aside a day to accompany her to the exam, and handed the clothing stall to her mother-in-law and her mother, asking the two elders to help take care of it.
"Just make some ice cream, why do this?" Yu Yaoyang pulled his sun hat down lower with his hands like a thief to block the sight of the surrounding parents.
He had a bunch of lotus flowers in his arms, still covered with dew.
Rutang saw them on the road and instructed him to go down to the river to pick flowers, and then give the flowers to Guining after she finished the exam.
Rutang wanted to buy other flowers, but there were no flower shops in that era, let alone flower sellers. The lotus flowers were in full bloom, and Yu Yaoyang, who was proficient in water, was by her side. Isn't this just perfect!
In Yu Yaoyang's view, holding a large bunch of lotus flowers was like holding a huge conspicuous bag.
He came here to accompany his wife, not to be a conspicuous bag for people to watch!
Yu Yaoyang was just thinking about it when a parent who was accompanying his child to take the exam came over and asked.
"What's the point of holding the flowers?"
Yu Yaoyang rolled his eyes and said, look, what did he say? It’s embarrassing, what a joke!
"My sister is taking an exam inside. The lotus symbolizes good luck and success in all subjects, so I wanted to get one to give to her. Look, I'm wearing a cheongsam today, which means I'm going to get off to a good start," Rutang explained.
The parent was very happy to hear this, as it was a good sign.
"Where did you buy this cheongsam? Can you give me one of your flowers? You can buy it!"
Rutang readily gave her one.
"My family sells cheongsams. Our stall is in D Port, and sometimes in front of the tobacco company." Rutang took the opportunity to advertise her own clothes. Yu Yaoyang felt that his wife was obsessed with money.
After the start, a few more people came and also wanted lotus flowers.
Rutang thought that what he had was not enough, so he sent Yu Yaoyang to get some more.
Yu Yaoyang’s eyes were rolling up to the sky.
"I'll go to the park management office and report you for picking flowers by real name." How could his wife's sour and cultured habit be contagious? Why did these parents believe it so easily?
"That piece of land is unowned and not under the jurisdiction of the park. The lotus flowers are all wild. What's wrong with picking a few? Go quickly!" Rutang pushed him.
In Yu Yaoyang's opinion, these parents' demands for money are totally groundless.
It was just like his wife specially bought a few cheongsams, saying that they were going to sell them to the parents of the candidates, but in the end, not a single one was sold.
Even so, she still didn't give up. She put it on herself, ran over to tell her story, and said that she had won the first battle.
From the perspective of Yaoyang, a straight man, the thinking of these women is incredible. If wearing a piece of clothing can lead to good grades, and holding a few flowers is a good omen, then why bother studying so hard?
Don’t even bother studying, just wear a cheongsam and hold a lotus flower, and win without doing anything!
In order to help Gui Ning get good grades in the exam, Rutang has been cooking with ingenuity these days. She cooks a sticky porridge called "Du Zhan (Nian) Ao (Ao) Tou", as well as mung bean cakes, "Bu Bu Gao Sheng", scrambled eggs with shrimps, "Fei Huang Teng Da", and so on.
If he dared to say something that Rutang considered unlucky during the exam, the girl's sharp nails would scratch him in no time.
Rutang usually claims that she is a staunch atheist, but when her own children are about to take exams, she changes her mind and says, "I'd rather believe it," "It's harmless to eat a little," and "It's just a good start." How hypocritical!
Of course, Yu Yaoyang only dared to think about these complaints quietly in his heart, and he didn't dare to say them to his wife in person.
In the end, Yu Yaoyang obediently went to pick lotus flowers, while Rutang waited outside the examination room alone, fanning herself with a fan with the words "Win" written on it.
This summer is exceptionally hot. Rutang has often felt a tightness in her chest these past few days, and occasionally she feels nauseous. She doesn’t know if it’s because the heat is too strong, but today she feels even more stuffy.
I forced myself to stand for a while, but it was really uncomfortable, so I found a curb to sit down. There was shade from the trees, and a breeze blew at the right time. It wasn't so stuffy anymore, and the heat in my chest eased.
Ru Tang thought that if he continued to feel this uncomfortable, he should find a bottle of Huoxiang Zhengqi water to drink. The wind blew through the cypress leaves, making a rustling sound. Ru Tang looked up at the tree and felt a little dark in front of his eyes. He felt dizzy and there seemed to be a child's soft voice calling "Mom" in his ears.
Rutang was startled and woke up. He looked around but did not see any children around.
Is it an auditory hallucination?
Rutang wanted to stand up to take a closer look, but as soon as he stood up, he felt dizzy again and fell backwards.
"Be careful!" A pair of strong arms appeared in time and caught Rutang, so she did not fall to the ground in embarrassment.
Rutang looked back and met Yu Yaoyang's worried face.
"Are you okay?" Yu Yaoyang asked.
Behind him, bunches of lotus flowers were scattered on the ground.
From a distance, he saw his wife staggering and looking like she was about to faint. She hurried over, not even caring about the flowers in her arms, and then caught Rutang.
"You're back. I'm fine. Maybe I had a little heatstroke." Rutang managed to stand still and looked around while suppressing the nausea in his stomach. "Yaoyang, do you see any one or two year old children nearby?"
Yu Yaoyang placed his hand on her forehead worriedly; it wasn't hot.
"You are talking nonsense because of heat stroke, right? Who would bring such a small child out in such hot weather? Sit here and rest for a while. I will go to the hospital in front to get you some Huoxiang Zhengqi water."
Rutang was about to nod, but for some reason, he thought of the soft and tender childish voice just now.
Reach out and grab Yu Yaoyang's arm.
"What's wrong?"
"I'll just sit down and drink some water. You don't need to buy medicine. What if..." Rutang swallowed his words back and thought that if she was pregnant, it would be troublesome to take medicine, but it was not good to say such a thing without testing. What if it was all for nothing?
Although she felt that the probability of being pregnant was slim, after all, it had been less than a month since her last menstrual period, and it might not be possible to detect it so early, but Rutang still felt that she should be cautious.
Seeing that she insisted, Yu Yaoyang could only stay with her. After sitting for a while, Rutang felt much better. She stood up and asked Yu Yaoyang to distribute the flowers to the parents in need.
In fact, if she were to sell it now, she would be able to make money, but she didn't ask for money. She just promoted her own business, which could be considered a disguised form of advertising.
Guining came out after the exam. The girl looked good. Although she was sweating all over her forehead due to the heat, she said she performed well.
Rutang was also very happy. She took the child home to take a rest at noon as she had an exam in the afternoon.
I was planning to have a big meal at noon, but I found that my mother-in-law and mother both had gloomy faces.
"What's going on?"
