Chapter 152 The Water Broke
How did she know her mother?
Su Ranran frowned slightly, but politely pushed the fish back.
"Thank you, sister-in-law. This fish is expensive. You should take it home and eat it."
Su Ranran always felt that she couldn't get close to this new military wife.
He just maintained superficial politeness in order not to embarrass Shen He.
"Sister Ranran, don't be polite with me. This red fish is good for the baby's health."
Ji Wenxiu pushed the fish over again.
Ding Yuzhen, who heard the noise, also came to the dining table. She was startled to see someone pushing a fish back and forth with her young lady.
He walked forward and held Su Ranran with one hand, and with the other hand he calmly pushed the fish back.
"This sister-in-law is so polite. Why would a neighbor need to bring anything when he comes to visit?"
Seeing Ding Yuzhen coming out, Ji Wenxiu no longer cared about whether he had caught any fish or not.
"Professor Ding, it's great to see you here."
She said with some excitement.
But Ding Yuzhen had no impression of her at all, and because of the man's rude rejection just now, she didn't have a good impression of her.
It was only because she and his daughter were from the same family that he patiently asked, "May I ask who you are?"
Ji Wenxiu didn't care about her reaction at all. Instead, she spoke with a blushing face as if she had seen her idol.
"You don't know me. My husband used to be a soldier in Pingcheng. He mentioned you to me. I admire Professor Ding very much, so I came to visit you."
Ding Yuzhen did go to Pingcheng three years ago to help the troops assemble radar.
But as for the radar, it is a military secret.
Why did her man mention what he did to her?
However, since the military has strict political review of the spouses of military personnel, Ding Yuzhen only had this thought for a moment and then put it aside.
"Please take a seat."
As she spoke, she moved a stool for her.
Ji Wenxiu was flattered and said thank you, her smile looking sweet and well-behaved.
"Professor Ding is indeed as beautiful and approachable as the rumors say."
Ding Yuzhen had heard such compliments many times, so she didn't feel anything about them.
Su Ranran, who was standing by, looked at Ji Wenxiu's eager expression and felt that she was acting more and more weird.
Obviously, Ji Wenxiu did not look like an uneducated person, but she still sneaked into the class to study.
But they are all from the same family compound, and since she has asked, it is impossible for other military wives to turn her away.
Su Ranran couldn't figure it out, and subconsciously became wary of her.
In the quiet kitchen, Ji Wenxiu's sweet voice never stopped.
Occasionally, there were one or two polite responses from Ding Yuzhen.
Su Ranran just stood there staring at her fire cage in boredom.
I don’t know when Shen He will come back?
It is now mid-February, and the baby in her belly is already 35 weeks old, but 35 weeks is considered full-term, and 40 weeks is the expected date of delivery.
Full term means the baby in your belly could move at any time.
She was originally quite calm, but the closer she got to the due date, the more anxious she became.
Shen He had been on missions before since he joined the army, but none of them lasted as long as this one.
Regarding matters concerning the army, he would naturally tell her what he could, and if he didn't tell her, Su Ranran would consciously not ask.
Now that he had been on a mission for so long and hadn't come back, she couldn't help feeling a little anxious.
I hope he can come back home during the Chinese New Year.
But Su Ranran was obviously disappointed.
Until New Year's Eve, Shen He was still nowhere to be seen.
When Su Ranran woke up in the morning, she felt a little listless and looked dull.
Pan Shuifang was so distressed by this.
"If you kill the chicken, I'll leave you a big chicken drumstick."
After Su Ranran came to the family courtyard, she raised two hens and a rooster.
It is that rooster that is killed during the Chinese New Year.
Hearing Pan Shuifang coaxing her like a child, Su Ranran was a little amused and helpless.
"Mom, how old am I? Why do I need to eat chicken legs?"
Ding Yuzhen went to the weather station early in the morning, so she and her mother-in-law were the only ones at home.
Ever since her mother came to the family compound, more and more people have visited, including military wives and people from the meteorological station. Even Qi Xiunian has come twice.
Not to mention Guan Ping.
After knowing that Ding Yuzhen was Qi Xiunian's teacher, she came to the family compound almost every day.
There are still people on duty at the weather station even during the Chinese New Year.
Look, the Chinese New Year is coming soon, and her mother is still immersed in the radar research at the weather station.
Pan Shuifang knew that her daughter-in-law and mother-in-law were both people who did great things, so she didn't ask Ding Yuzhen what she did every day, but concentrated on taking care of her daughter-in-law who was about to give birth.
At this time, she also breathed a sigh of relief when she heard that Su Ranran had finally recovered some spirit.
When her son went on a mission, she was no less worried than Su Ranran.
But at this time she needs to take good care of her daughter-in-law and cannot panic.
"You are the youngest in the family. If you don't eat the chicken leg, who will?"
In the past two years, they have been willing to kill chickens for the New Year in Shuiqiao Brigade.
Whenever we kill a chicken, we usually leave two chicken legs for the youngest child in the family to eat.
Su Ranran couldn't convince herself, so she didn't argue with her.
Anyway, there are only three people in the family, and one chicken is enough for them to have a full meal.
Su Ranran was making tofu balls while chatting with Pan Shuifang.
But she had only made half of the tofu balls when suddenly, the baby in her belly kicked her hard again.
Su Ranran hissed and couldn't help but curse.
"Can you be gentler, little monkey? I'm telling you, you're still young and don't understand. Your mother only has one, so you should use her sparingly. If you kick me and break me, who will feed you in the future?"
After spending so much time with the babies in her belly, Su Ranran could vaguely feel that one of the two babies in her belly was active and lively, while the other was relatively quiet.
The foot that kicked her was mostly kicking on the left side recently.
Maybe it's because he's grown too big and can't change his position, but he has never been quiet for a single day.
Give her a kick from time to time.
Hearing her threatening the child, Pan Shuifang felt both amused and helpless.
"The kids are so young, how can they understand?"
"Mom, you really underestimated them. When Shen He was at home, they would respond whenever I called them. They are so smart."
But when it was her turn to shout, they rebelled.
When he is happy, he will respond to her by moving his hands and feet or something, but when he is unhappy, he will just ignore her.
Sometimes they ignored people for most of the day. Su Ranran was so scared that she went straight to the hospital. She was relieved to find out that they were fine and just sleeping.
And today, I don’t know what’s wrong with the baby in my belly, it keeps moving around.
Su Ranran felt a little uneasy.
"How about I take you to the sanitation center?"
When Shen He went out on a mission, he gave instructions again and again that if Su Ranran felt a little uncomfortable, she should be sent to the hospital immediately.
Because her daughter-in-law was pregnant with twins, Pan Shuifang did not dare to be careless.
Regardless of the fact that it was New Year's Eve, she frowned and looked a little nervous.
"It's nothing, the baby is just too active today..."
Before she could finish her words, Su Ranran felt a warm current coming from under her body, and in an instant, she froze on the spot!
"What's wrong?"
Seeing that she didn't move or speak, Pan Shuifang suddenly felt like she was facing a powerful enemy.
"Mom! My water seems to have broken!"
