Outside the window, the stars are twinkling, and it is already late.

Shen Jiaojiao is not seriously ill and can be discharged from the hospital at any time.

But Liu Xiaolan was worried and insisted that she wait until tomorrow morning before going back.

So, Shen Jiaojiao and Xu Mo stayed in the hospital, while Liu Xiaolan, Xu Zhengyang and Xu Panpan returned to Yonggan Village overnight.

After everyone left, Xu Mo finally breathed a sigh of relief.

The man who tried to steal his wife finally left.

Finally it was his turn to shine.

He quickly walked to the bed and sat down, holding his daughter-in-law's hand, looking at her picturesque eyebrows and eyes, and grinned foolishly.

Shen Jiaojiao was also grinning foolishly. The two of them were like idiots. No one spoke, but the eye contact between them was worth a thousand words.

Xia Shumo saw this scene when she walked to the door of the ward.

I am really jealous.

"Jiaojiao, congratulations!"

She walked in, went to the bedside, and checked the condition of the IV bottle.

Shen Jiaojiao: "Sister Xia, it's your turn to be on duty again tonight!"

Xia Shumo had just finished her ward rounds and came back. Since she had nothing to do, she sat by the bed and started chatting.

"I was supposed to be on duty tomorrow, but I have to go back to Beijing tomorrow, so I switched shifts with someone else.

Jiaojiao, where are you going to celebrate the New Year this year? "

"What a coincidence! I also want to go back to Beijing, but it's a pity that the ticket we bought is not for one day.

My ticket for the 23rd of Latvia."

Xia Shumo smiled and said, "I had something to do at home, so I went back early, otherwise I wouldn't have been so early."

Shen Jiaojiao saw what Xia Shumo was thinking and said with a smile, "Sister Xia, come to my house to celebrate the New Year this year! My mother keeps talking about you and says she likes you very much."

The reason why she made this suggestion was that she guessed that Xia Shumo had a delicate relationship with her second uncle's family.

After all, her second aunt should not be a simple person.

But she had never met Xia Shumo's aunt, so it was hard for her to judge what kind of person she was.

Xia Shumo looked a little uncomfortable, as if she was shy.

She said, "We'll talk about it later. Um, is your second brother still in the army now?"

"Yes, my grandfather wrote to me last time saying that the army has no missions recently and my second brother has been training with the army."

Xia Shumo nodded and admitted generously, "I have to go to the army first before I go back this time."

In short, just make things clear!

There was a gleam of excitement in Shen Jiaojiao's eyes.

But it was quickly hidden.

She was afraid that if she showed too much excitement, she would scare her second sister-in-law away.

"That's great. The troops shouldn't be too busy these days. My second brother will have time to accompany you."

Somehow, Xia Shumo's mind wandered when she heard this.

Fly to the troops in the suburbs of Beijing thousands of miles away.

She wanted to meet that man as soon as possible and ask him if the engagement was still valid.

"Sister Xia, what's wrong with you?"

Shen Jiaojiao's voice called back Xia Shumo's soul.

"I'm fine, Jiaojiao. The first three months of pregnancy are very dangerous. You need to rest and don't get too tired.

The medical level in our small county is underdeveloped, and we cannot see the condition of the fetus in the womb.

When you return to Beijing, be sure to ask your mother to take you to their hospital for a check-up.

The military hospitals in Beijing already have ultrasound equipment, which can monitor the condition of the fetus."

"Okay, I understand."

The two chatted for a while, and Xia Shumo prepared to leave.

When they reached the door, Shen Jiaojiao called out, "Sister Xia, if you encounter any troubles after you return home, please come to us. Our Shen family is your strongest support and will always protect you."

Xia Shumo smiled gratefully, "Got it, go to bed early."

After they left, Shen Jiaojiao was so tired that she fell asleep soon after lying on the bed.

Early the next morning.

Xu Mo went to buy some steamed buns and soy milk.

After the two had breakfast, Xu's father came to pick them up.

It was the first time that Shen Jiaojiao saw such a brilliant smile on Xu Laidong's face.

He was grinning from ear to ear, and when he saw Xu Mo, he patted him on the shoulder solemnly and said, "Good boy, you're finally a father."

Xu Mo also felt Xu Laidong's joy, and the smile on his face became even bigger.

The ox cart's carriage was padded with thick bedding, and a quilt was placed inside.

Xu Mo helped Shen Jiaojiao up, let her half lie in the car, and wrapped her tightly with a quilt to ensure that not a trace of cold air could blow on her. Only then did he feel relieved.

After returning home, Xu Mo carried the person back to the house.

In the house, Liu Xiaolan had already come over and lit the charcoal fire.

At this moment, the house is filled with warmth.

Shen Jiaojiao was put on the bed. Xu Mo took off her heavy cotton clothes and covered her with bedding.

At this time, Liu Xiaolan handed a pot of hot water of suitable temperature to Shen Jiaojiao.

Shen Jiaojiao suddenly became the focus of protection for the whole family.

She really didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

I'm just pregnant, how come I'm like a paraplegic and can't take care of myself?

Li Ermei also came with her family's children.

When the children came, they all gathered around the bed, chattering and making a lot of noise.

"Jiaojiao, congratulations! You will be a mother in the future. If you have any questions, please ask me. After all, I have given birth to three children, so I have more experience than you.

Do you want to eat anything in particular recently? Do you like sour or spicy food?" Li Ermei asked.

People are always curious.

This is especially true for pregnant women.

I always try to guess whether it's a boy or a girl through various experiences.

Shen Jiaojiao shook her head. "It's just that my appetite has improved. I don't have a favorite flavor. I can eat anything."

"Does that make you feel sick?"

"No, I eat well and sleep well."

Li Ermei said enviously, "This child must love his mother very much, and he doesn't want her to suffer at all. When I was pregnant with three pounds, I couldn't stand the smell of oil smoke. I vomited all over the place, and finally vomited blood.

It’s terrible.”

Shen Jiaojiao: "Some children are very annoying, and only when you become a mother do you know how difficult it is to be a mother.

Fortunately, the children are sensible and all the suffering during pregnancy is worth it. "

"Oh, that's right. When I was pregnant, I thought I would never have another child.

But when I saw the little guy grow from a tiny baby to being able to jump around on the ground, my heart was filled with joy.

So they forget the pain of childbirth and want to have a few more children so that at least the children will have some companionship.

This life can’t be stopped.”

Sanjin said at this time, "Mom, then you still have to give birth to a 4-jin baby. After 4-jin, you will have 5-jin, then 6-jin, 7-jin, 8-jin, 9-jin, 10-jin... Mom, how many jins do you want the baby to weigh!"

Erjin rolled his eyes at Sanjin and said, "You think your mother is an old sow, yet you gave birth to so many babies? Even the donkeys in the birthing team don't dare to give birth to this many babies."

Sanjin finally caught Erjin's handle this time, and quickly complained, "Mom, Erjin said you are an old sow."

Erjin was speechless.

I don't want to pay any attention to this brother.

Li Ermei rolled her eyes in anger.

What a bunch of bastards she has been born into.

I really want to put it back into my stomach and give birth to a younger sister.

Shen Jiaojiao was amused by these two guys.

Two or three pounds never seem to match up.

It's either a quarrel or a fight.

Chapter 288: Your eldest son became a clerk and got divorced. These good things happened at the same time. Congratulations. Time passed quickly and in a blink of an eye it was the day before Ping An’s full-month banquet.

That afternoon, the women of the Xu family were making cotton shoes together.

The men in the house were on the roof, picking up tiles.

The picture is harmonious and warm.

Shen Jiaojiao thought that the cotton shoes made purely by hand were comfortable to wear, so she wanted to make a pair for each of her family members who lived thousands of miles away.

Although cotton shoes don’t look good, they are warm!

Her parents and several brothers have never worn this kind of cotton shoes with thousand-layer soles.

Only grandpa and grandma know how to wear it.

My grandparents are nostalgic, like to recall the good and bad times, and are thrifty.

They are reluctant to throw away a pair of shoes even when they have holes in them.

"Jiaojiao, do you know what size shoes your family members wear?" Liu Xiaolan asked while sewing the soles of shoes.

This really stumped Shen Jiaojiao, as she really couldn't remember everyone's shoe sizes.

"I only remember my mom and grandma, they both wore size 37, and I don't know about the rest."

"I have met your grandfather, father and second brother. I can roughly calculate the shoe size based on their height and weight. It's okay to make the cotton shoes a little bigger. But I have never met your eldest brother and third brother. How tall and heavy are they?"

Shen Jiaojiao recalled the height and weight of her eldest and third brothers.

"Big brother is about 1.88 meters tall and weighs about 160 kilograms.

The third brother is a little shorter, only 185cm tall, and weighs about 160kg."

After hearing this, Liu Xiaolan roughly knew what size the shoes were.

"Your eldest and third brothers all wear size 44 shoes."

At this point, Liu Xiaolan asked curiously, "Jiaojiao, everyone else in your family has come to see you, why didn't your eldest brother and third brother come?"

Shen Jiaojiao shook her head, "I don't know, maybe they are too busy and don't have time! My eldest brother's job requires him to attend meetings and travel frequently. Third brother is a very good doctor, and many patients come to see him, so he often stays up late to work overtime."

Liu Xiaolan: "It's so hard."

"Well, everyone at home is very busy, so they just keep me, a free person." Shen Jiaojiao said self-deprecatingly.

Liu Xiaolan: "You are not an idle person. You are still young and have no ability to make money.

When you become successful in the future, we will repay your family and make them proud."

While they were talking, the eldest and third brothers of the Shen family were already preparing to set off to the countryside to look for their sister.

"Hey, my dear relatives, we are making cotton shoes. Your family is really lively!"

Suddenly, there was a voice at the door.

Everyone looked up and saw a middle-aged woman walking in with a dark-skinned, fat woman.

"Mom, why are you here?"

Li Ermei frowned and looked at the woman who came in.

Li's mother had a smile on her face, but when she saw Li Ermei, her expression changed immediately and she said in a deep voice, "Why, now that you've married into a good family, you don't recognize me as your mother anymore? It's not wrong to say that you're an ungrateful person."

Li Ermei took a deep breath and suppressed her temper.

This is your own mother, don’t be violent with her.

Liu Xiaolan didn't have a good attitude towards Li Ermei's mother either.

After all, the two families have never had any contact.

Although Li Ermei married into the Xu family, when the Li family married off their daughter, they simply treated her as selling her and did not consider maintaining the relationship between the two families at all.

The main reason was that the Xu family was in poverty at that time, and the Li family was afraid that the Xu family would borrow money from them, so they directly stopped Li Ermei from going home to beg for money.

Liu Xiaolan still clearly remembers what the Li family said when they married Li Ermei off.

Li's mother said: "A daughter who is married off is like water spilled out. From now on, whether you live or die has nothing to do with our Li family, and you are no longer a member of our Li family.

Don’t inform us of your birth, old age, sickness, and death in the future. It’s too much of a loss to pay a gift money just for a loser like you.”

After saying this, Li Ermei cried and asked Xu Fugui to carry her back to her husband's home.

But Li Ermei was also strong-willed. Even though life was difficult after marrying into the Xu family, she never asked for a penny from her parents' home.

Liu Xiaolan looked at Li's mother sarcastically, "Hey, what wind brought you here?"

Mother Li doesn't want to argue with Li Ermei for the time being.

Her eyes moved around the yard.

Sure enough, what those people said was right, the Xu family really got better.

The house is being renovated and the roof is still being laid. Even a large house is being built in the back.

How rich is that!

When she married her daughter off, she thought the Xu family would never recover and that Li Ermei would suffer all her life in the Xu family. She was afraid that the Xu family would ask her for money and food, so she cut off all ties with Li Ermei.

But things are different now. The Xu family has become prosperous, and her daughter is living a prosperous life. Naturally, she has to come back to curry favor with them and pick up some things from the Xu family.

I can't raise Li Ermei to this age and then not show her any respect at all.

If Li Ermei was an ungrateful person, she would definitely have to quarrel with her.

Mother Li looked at Liu Xiaolan and said with a smile, "My dear, it's been a long time since we last met. You are getting younger and younger. I heard that your eldest son became a clerk and got divorced. Look, you two have come together for this good thing. Congratulations."

Xu Zhengyang on the roof: "..."

Liu Xiaolan snorted coldly, "I also heard that your son is going to get married, but your wife is pregnant with someone else's child. Congratulations, you see, it's really a double blessing."

Li's mother's face changed immediately.

Damn, how did Liu Xiaolan know about this?

His son found a woman, but he didn't know where she got pregnant.

At first she was not at all willing to let the woman in.

But she couldn't persuade her son!

Her unfortunate son insisted on marrying her, and there was nothing she could do about it.

Mother Li thought that they were here to get work done, not to quarrel, so she didn't get angry.

She pulled the fat woman next to her in front of Liu Xiaolan.

He said with a smile, "My dear relative, your mouth is still as unforgiving as before! Let's not talk about those empty words. I am here today to make a marriage, not to make an enemy.

Look, this lady is my eldest brother’s daughter, her name is Xiaofang. She is pretty and kind, with a pair of beautiful big eyes and a thick and long whip.

In-laws, isn't this just right for your eldest son? I think these two are a perfect match. Your son is getting divorced, maybe just to wait for my Xiaofang. In-laws, let your eldest son come out and take a look. If they like each other, you can get a marriage certificate right away."

Mother Li thought to herself that Xu Zhengyang had been divorced and had four children, so even if he was a clerk now, no good girl would be interested in him.

Xiaofang is young and has never opened a bag before, so any man would be paralyzed when seeing her.

Xu Zhengyang will definitely marry her.

Although Xiaofang is ugly, she is obedient. Once she marries into the Xu family, she will be able to bring back a lot of things. Unlike Li Ermei, that ungrateful girl, she has been married to the Xu family for almost ten years and has never brought a grain of rice home.
