Brother Wang chimed in: "Our daughter is making you suffer, and you're making me suffer. One minute she wants something sour, the next she wants something spicy. Once, in the middle of the night, she suddenly wanted to eat apricots. I searched all over the mountains and fields and finally found some, but as soon as you took a bite, you threw up."
Aunt Wang nodded in agreement: "Yes, it's her second pregnancy, but I don't know why she has such a strong reaction."
Zhan Qin left home at a young age and, strictly speaking, had never been in contact with a pregnant woman before. This was the first time he had heard such words, so he immediately listened attentively.
When Jinjin gets pregnant later, she'll have experience.
So this is what pregnancy reactions are like! When he actually gets pregnant, he'll have to be ready with sour apricots and spicy food at any time.
He suddenly remembered the scene on the mountaintop. Could she be pregnant?
The thought instantly made him feel hot all over, but there were some things that were obviously inconvenient to say in front of the woman.
Having already finished praying, Zhan Qin didn't rush to leave. He found some branches, tied them together, and carefully cleaned the cobwebs off the statue. At the same time, he silently made a wish: Goddess of Fertility, I want a pair of twins, a boy and a girl.
Most women prefer boys; having a boy gives them something to look forward to. Jinjin might have the same thought, so how about having twins, a boy and a girl?
He planned to let Jinjin give birth only once.
Childbirth is like a brush with death for a woman, and he couldn't bear to let her go.
Actually, it's okay if you don't have it.
Sister-in-law Wang understood his meaning perfectly well, but hesitated, unable to say anything nice.
Zhan Qin didn't care at all; he was sure Jin Jin would come back safely. When he cleaned behind the statue, he found two talismans of unknown age.
Mrs. Wang exclaimed in surprise, "A fertility charm! I've never seen one before, no matter how many times I've come here. Mr. Zhan, this must be the work of the Goddess of Fertility! Your wife is so blessed!"
Janchin, who had never believed in God, immediately perked up and, ignoring the dust on the ground, kowtowed three times earnestly.
He suddenly understood why people like to burn incense and make wishes. It turns out that they are making wishes for themselves, not necessarily for them to come true. The important thing is that they feel a sense of satisfaction that they have never experienced before.
He took one of the two talismans for granting children, keeping the other one for himself, planning to bring Jinjin over sometime so she could make a wish too.
Unexpectedly, after going around in circles, the fertility charm ended up with Chu Jinjin in this way.
Whether it was due to excessive emotional excitement or catching a chill from the mountain wind while drawing the terrain, he suddenly felt dizzy and nauseous when he returned to the courtyard that evening and vomited.
After a night's rest, the dizziness and nausea did not lessen much. Breakfast was pickled cabbage porridge.
Upon smelling the pungent sour odor, my chest suddenly churned, and I vomited violently.
Zhan Qin felt weak all over; this symptom was all too familiar.
Unable to smell the sourness, vomiting, nausea.
In a panic, Zhan Qin pulled out the fertility charm he always carried. Could it be that effective? He made a wish yesterday and got pregnant today? That shouldn't be the case. Even if she did get pregnant, it should be Jin Jin who is showing signs of pregnancy.
How did it become that he had pregnancy symptoms?
Having physical intimacy before marriage can completely ruin a woman's reputation, and Zhan Qin had no one to consult with.
The next day, they continued to survey the mountain terrain.
Aunt Wang noticed that his act of rushing around was not right and asked with concern, "Mr. Zhan, have you not rested well? You look so pale and sallow."
Zhan Qinmian replied, "I still feel nauseous, I feel disgusted."
He just said it offhand.
Brother Wang burst into laughter: "Hahaha, the Goddess of Fertility is very effective. Mr. Zhan feels nauseous and wants to vomit, could it be that he's pregnant?"
It was meant as a joke, but it struck a chord with Zhan Qin, who subconsciously touched his lower abdomen.
Can men get pregnant?
Everything happened by chance.
"You're still laughing? You don't know what pregnancy is like. I used to vomit everything I ate, I almost threw up my bile." Years later, Mrs. Wang is still full of anger. No matter how considerate a man is, if he sees a woman vomiting during pregnancy but can't understand the feeling, or even thinks it's normal, she can't help but complain, "I really wish you were the one who was pregnant."
Brother Wang still smiled and said, "I'd love to have your baby too, but men can't get pregnant."
Zhan Qin's ears perked up instantly.
He knew the man couldn't get pregnant, but Wang's wife's unspoken implication made it seem like it was possible.
As he expected, Sister Wang glared at Brother Wang and said, "Only a very small number of men can get pregnant."
Brother Wang was also bewildered: "Ah, a man getting pregnant? Who said that?"
“Once when we went down the mountain, we met a wandering Taoist priest, remember? He was incredibly accurate at reading faces. He could tell at a glance that I was pregnant with a girl,” Sister Wang said confidently. “Later, when you went to make purchases, I specifically went to him to have my fortune told.”
The wandering Taoist priest that Sister Wang mentioned had been to many, many places and rarely stayed in one place for long; he was truly knowledgeable and experienced.
When she heard that Wang's wife was suffering from severe morning sickness, she told me about something unusual she had witnessed – a man was pregnant, his belly as big as a gong.
Actually, if Chu Jinjin were here, she would have some experience, but she would quickly understand what was going on.
The man is probably intersex, appearing male on the outside but possessing female physiological structure.
But even the most knowledgeable wandering Taoist priests didn't know.
Brother Wang was stunned: "So, it's true that men can get pregnant?"
“He has no reason to lie to me. It’s true. I observed his expression carefully, and he definitely wasn’t lying.” Wang Sao had no idea how much of a shock these words brought to Zhan Qin. “There are all sorts of wonders in this world. For example, Miss Chu, even our chieftain admires her immensely. If you hadn’t seen it with your own eyes, would you have believed it?”
Brother Wang was persuaded and nodded repeatedly.
Indeed, if someone told him that such a woman existed, he would definitely think it was made up.
Zhan Qin felt a mixture of despair and hope.
Good news, I'm expecting a child; bad news, it's his.
