Lin Meiyu and the others pulled Tian Yuan to sit on the kang and asked him in detail how he had been living over the past few years.
Tian Lisong and his friends did not receive as good treatment as Tian Yuan, and they still had to work in the kitchen.
"You said Lu Ying is pregnant?" Lin Meiyu's voice was a little broken with excitement. She was still thinking about her grandson this morning, but Tian Yuan came back and brought her good news.
"Yes! I'm two months pregnant!" Tian Yuan said gently.
He and Han Luying had only just begun planning to have a child this year. They were both assigned to the same military region this year, and Tian Yuan was promoted to regiment commander and had a house in the military region, so they no longer had to live in the dormitory. That was why they put the issue of having a child on the agenda.
Originally, Han Luying planned to come back with him and had already bought the tickets. But before leaving, Han Luying felt stomach discomfort. She went to the hospital for a check-up and found out that she was two months pregnant.
Han Luying originally insisted on coming back with Tian Yuan, but Tian Yuan felt that the conditions at their home were not good, and the roads were covered with snow, making it inconvenient to go to the toilet. Moreover, for Han Luying, it was an old lady's home, so she didn't feel comfortable staying there.
It is said that pregnant women should maintain a good mood, so Tian Yuan sent Han Luying back to her parents' home, let her parents take care of her, and went home alone.
"Good pregnancy, good pregnancy!" Lin Meiyu repeated happily twice, then turned to look at Tian Yuan reproachfully, "Since your wife is pregnant, why did you come back? Why don't you stay at home and take care of her?"
Tian Yuan didn't know whether to laugh or cry when he heard this. "Mom, don't worry. Lu Ying is at her home. My father-in-law and mother-in-law are taking care of her. Are you still worried?"
"It was her parents who did it. As a husband, you can't just sit there and do nothing. Do you think it's that easy to get pregnant?"
"Just imagine that a little life is growing little by little inside your belly. Your belly was originally so small, and then it expanded so much. How uncomfortable would you feel?"
"I'm telling you, now that your wife is pregnant, don't learn from those men out there. Just learn from your dad and your second uncle. Look at how well your dad and your second uncle did when I married your aunt. They took care of all the heavy work at home."
"Your wife is pregnant, so you should be more considerate. If she is in a bad mood, don't be stubborn with her, be more accommodating and coax her. Also, be careful about what she eats. She is pregnant, and one person needs to eat for two. She needs to eat something nutritious. It happens that our family has saved a lot of eggs this year, and I haven't taken them to the supply and marketing cooperative to sell yet. When you leave during the Chinese New Year, take the eggs with you and go back to cook one egg a day for your wife."
When Lin Meiyu heard that Han Luying was pregnant, she was extremely excited and wanted to force all the precautions for pregnancy into Tian Yuan's head.
Tian Tian was listening at the side and agreed with it so much that she wanted to pull Gu Zhao over immediately so that he could listen carefully.
As soon as Lin Meiyu finished her instructions, she couldn't wait to pack all the eggs for Tian Yuan to take away.
"Why are you in such a hurry? Can Lu Ying's family still lack eggs? Besides, the eggs in our house have been stored for several months and are not fresh. Don't give them to Lu Ying." Old Mrs. Tian said.
"Besides, it's not convenient for Gu Zhao to take too many things home on the train. It would be a waste to break the eggs on the way!"
"Besides, Gu Zhao can still stay at home for a while, so there's no need. Everything is ready now."
What Old Lady Tian said made sense. Lin Meiyu was no longer as anxious as before. She sat there quietly and listened to what Old Lady Tian said.
"Tian Yuan, after Lu Ying became pregnant, is there anything she can and cannot eat?"
Tian Yuan thought seriously for a while, "Before I left, there was nothing she couldn't eat. Everything she ate tasted delicious, but she especially wanted to eat fruit, such as pears, apples, and canned yellow peaches. She loved them all!"
"That's perfect. We picked a lot of hawthorns in the fall and have kept them in the house. When you leave, take them all back. We also have some frozen hawthorn peels. Do you want them? I'll take them back if you want! Boil them with sugar and water. They taste sour and sweet, and are very comfortable to drink!"
Tian Yuan nodded and said, "Take them all back. She never knows when she might want to eat them. It's better to take them with her than to have nothing to eat when she wants to eat them."
When Mrs. Tian saw that Tian Yuan agreed, she reminded him again: "Don't eat too much hawthorn. Just eat one or two a day to taste it. Eating too much is not good for their health!"
"You can't eat hawthorn when you're pregnant?" Tian Tian suddenly interrupted.
Old Mrs. Tian glanced at Tian Tian and felt that Tian Tian should remember these things clearly so that they could be useful when she got pregnant.
"It's not that you can't eat anything, but you shouldn't eat too much. No matter what you eat when you are pregnant, you can't eat too much. But if you have no appetite or feel nauseous, eating hawthorn can make you feel better!" said Mrs. Tian.
Tian Tian carefully memorized this knowledge point.
"Don't worry, I've made a note of it. I'll tell Han Luying when I get back!"
"We have some chestnuts and hazelnuts that we picked in the mountains in autumn, as well as dried mushrooms. You can take some home as snacks for her."
Old Mrs. Tian arranged for Tian Yuan to take away most of the things in the house, and told Tian Yuan a lot of things to pay attention to during pregnancy. Old Mrs. Tian gave birth to three children, and took care of Lin Meiyu's children and Tian Mu's births safely. She knew a lot in this area, and Tian Yuan listened very carefully.
Tian Tian shook her head. After listening for a while, she felt dizzy and ran to the kitchen to help Tian Lisong.
After everyone had finally shown enough love to Tian Yuan, he was finally let out to rest for a while, catch his breath, and then come to the kitchen to help.
Everyone asked Tian Yuan to go back to the house and rest, as they had to stay up all night to celebrate the New Year, and it would be hard to fall asleep if they stayed up too long.
Tian Yuan lived far away from their home and had been on the train for several days, so he must be exhausted. If he didn't go and rest now, he would not be able to hold on at night.
Tian Yuan didn't get much rest during the days he was on the train, as so many people were busy, so he went back to his room and took a nap.
During the first few days after Gu Zhao arrived, he slept in Tian Yuan's room. However, Tian Yuan's room was big, and Gu Zhao felt it was not comfortable sleeping alone, so he finally moved to the small room by himself.
Every day when cooking, the kang in the hut was heated very hot, so Tian Lisong took a piece of wood and put it on the kang to separate it. Only then could people sleep on it.
After Tian Yuan went to bed, Lin Meiyu and Old Lady Tian in the room sighed, "Before, Tian Tian told me that she wanted to build a brick house, but I thought it was useless. Now it seems that I should really clean up the house!"
"If you want to clean up, then do it. I don't care about these matters." Old Mrs. Tian hasn't been involved in matters in the past two years. Although building a house is a big deal, Old Mrs. Tian doesn't want to get involved.
She is so old now, and it would be annoying if she took care of too many things. Besides, Lin Meiyu and Tian Lisong are not young anymore, and they can handle things properly, so Mrs. Tian doesn't want to interfere even more.
